The various interviews ascribed to
Minister Loomis at San Juan have at
tracted much attention and the minister
will probably be invited to explain some
of his utterances if he is not able to
enter broad denial of the accuracy of
the interviews. Reflections upon the
personal character of the President Of
Venezuela are not regarded as Deing
according to official etiquette, and it is
confidently hoped that the minister will
be able to repudiate these. Otherwise
it would be manifestly impossible for
him to return to Venezuela even in
the event that issues which led to his
departure were satisfactorily composed.

So far the courts have all
ruled against Mrs. Nation and
her allies. Judge Dale, of
Wichita, holds that saloon
property is entitled to the
same protection as groceries
or any other kind of merchan-
disc. Judge Hazen, of Tope-
ka, has similar views. If the
supreme court upholds Hazen
and Dale the whiskey sellers
will have scored from start to
finish and Mrs. Nation will
probably land in the peniten-
tiary or a martyrs grave. No.
body, however prejudiced he
may be, can read these decis,
ions and fail to discover
where the sympathies of Dale
and Hazen are and nobody
understands the situation bet.
ter than the jointists. But
after all, the temperance PEG.
pie ought to take their medi-
cine gracefully. They help
ed to elect these fellows.

Today is the 5Oth day O.

Today is the 5Oth day of
the legislative session, and the
members will not draw salary
for their time between now
and adjournment. They will
remain in session at least an
other week and perhaps long
er. During all this time only
two important measures have
been passed-one a stringent
prohibition measure and the
other a republican force cleo
ton law. It has been the
most extravagant legislature
in the history of the state and
has undone one of the best
laws on the statute books
the school book law-and the
trust has a new hold on the
people. IF this session Of the
legislature does not down the
republican party, there is no
hope for a reformation in pol.
itics.

It seems to be a settled pol

THE high handed way in which Pop
ulists and democrats were deprived of
their seats IN the legislature has arous-
ed the indignation of the people
throughout the entire state. They were
unseated on the silliest and fiimsiest
kind Of excuses. Whole precincts were
thrown out where the fusion majorities
were large, tor the only reason that the
paper on which the ballots were printed
was lighter than some used in other
parts of the state. Ballots were also
thrown out because there was slight if
regularity In the manner in which vot-
ers made marks in voting for andagainst
the judicial amendment In other In
stances precincts we're thrown out be
cause member of the election board
happened to be voted for for township
Office. This the is way the republicans
have of defeating the will CT the people.
There is serious side to this affair 1t
sets bad precedent and may be the
germs Which may some day grow riot
and desperation. Kansas has already
gained an unenviable record In the eyes
Of the world and it is all traced back to
irresponsible, corrupt aid cowardly of
ticials. Whenever the people are rob-
bed of their rights and the spirit of the
law Is defeated by faithless and disrep.
utable officials, it can be expected that
an outraged people will take the matter
Of Iot m fnt hni
hands. This rs wrong, but we are all
responsible. Whenever you attempt
to stop the heartbeats of freedom in a
Kansan's breast. you are undertaking
a dangerous task. Better not tamper
too much with the public pulse. The
people have more patience with horse
thief than they have with vote thief.

THE CRUSADER.

The following poems were written by
an inmate of the Wichita jail, while
Mrs Nation was imprisoned there, and
has never been published:
There vas an aged christian martyr
Who sat alone in . prison cell;
There the law of State had brought her
For wrecking an earthly hell.
Day by day and nights she dwelt there,
Singing songs of Christ's dear love;
AT the cross she knelt and prayed there,
AS an angel up above.
In the prison round about her,
Many souls stood stained in sin,
List'nfng to the prayers she'd offer,
Looking for her Christ within.
Some who'd hardly known Q mother.
Ne'er had learned TO kneel and pray,
Raised their hands their face to cover,
Till her words had died away.
In the silent midnight hour,
OFT would float some sweet refrain
From her voice like April showers,
Bringing sunshine after rain.
Each one rose from out his slumbers.
List ming to her songs Of cheer
With their praises loud and clear.
IldisS lTOLu tQOb0 whose crimes had led them
Ger dark and stormy sea,
Where its waves had dashed and rolled them
Into helPs captivity.
Wine it was--the drink-that drove them
Ger the desert bare and cold,
Now they heard His voice call them
Back into His tender fold.
Songs and prayers had oheered and changed
them,
Washed and cleansed their wlne-stained
life,
To His pastured flock 1t led them,
From that hellish sea Of strife.
God had sent His servant to them.
Saying, Come, come unto Me-
See! o see, I'll not forsake them,
Though all else and others fee.
SALOON ANNIHILATIOH.
Great praise is due to Carrie Nation
For her ringing proclamation
That the work OF desolation
Is her joy and consolation.
Rousing from their long stagnation,
The people of this generation,
To destroy the aggravation
OF the rum abomination.
May her special recreation
Continue long without vacation,
To the Rummies' CONSERVATION
And their complete eradication.
Accept. Dear Mrs. Nation,
Assurance Of our admiration.
May you have Gods preservation
TIL called to angels conyocation.

A BRIGHT LETTER FROM NEW
SECRETARY.
II know that you are away from home.
perhaps at the minute [ am writing
you are at the great convention session,
but my heart will not longer be denied
the pleasure of writing you this letter.
II have the honor to be elected the
new Y secretary. had never studied
up Y work very much, being busy with
the work in our union, but since our
was organized here, have been
looking up Y methods, and it was my
wish to to excused from the work of
state treasurer that might take up Y
work. They would not allow that, but
to pacify me. gave me both. The work
Is starting slowly here; we have five Y
unions, with paid up membership of
sixty six, but l think that does not
show the full strength.
Il feel that we must have our dear
Miss Parrish next winter, If there is
any such thing as getting her. am
sure there is no state that needs her
worse, and feel sure there are very
few places where she would receive a
warmer welcome.
My plan is to write to one woman In
each union, and try to interest her in
the work. What literature would be
best suited to send with my letters?
Something to show the older women
the need Of enlisting the girls.
II am intending to invest some mon.
ey In various kinds OF ( literature. and
have it to sell. | think 1 may get a
good many to take one or two leaflets.
and II they pay one cent or five cents
for 1t, they Will read 1t better, and my
money will go farther"
