MOB RULE IN KANSAS.

The crusade started by Mrs. Nation is
apt to assume more serious features az
the excitable people of Kansas become
warmed up to their subject The report
of the doings at Horton indicates that
the movement has got beyond the con-
troll of the individual cranks who started
II and has become a rule of mob law.
When LOCO people, men and women. go
forth to destroy property regardless of
the legal status of that property. it is
about time to call out the militia The
burning of Alexander, the negro, was
universally condemned as it should have
been. His trial and punishment was for
properly constituted tribunal, not
mob. The raids that Mrs Nation and
her friends and followers have been max
ing are the same in principle as the
lynching of Alexander. The negro may
have been guilty and may have deserved
DEATH but that was no business of the
mob; proper courts have been constituted
for the trial of such crimes. The joint
keepers no doubt are violating the pro-
bition laws of the state of Kansas,
bl t there is law for their punishment
ar legal machinery to put it in force.
Rere are times when good citizens
must band together for mutual defense
against the lawless element of the COM
munity and take upon themselves the
enforcement of the laws regardless of
reached that stage2 Has the crime of
selling intoXicants become so great that
mob rule must obtain that the state may
be purged of these crimes and these
criminals?
A radical reform carried too far reacts
against the reformers and retards the
cause which they espouse, no matter
how worthy. The situation in Kansas is
nearing that point where force viii be
opposed to force. In such a case the
conservative element will join with those
who tS4pose mob rule. When Mrs Ma
ton has run her career, it will be found
that the resubmission element has gain
ed strength during the crusade and what
was once a prohibition state may swing
back into the ranks of those which allow
their citizens to eat and drink at their
pleasure
1t seems from the interviews which
Mrs. Nation gives out that she holds
IDEAS of property rights that are eccen-
trio, even for Kansas That one bottle
of whisky held in stock or sold by a
druggist will place beyond the pale of
the law his entire stock of drugs. will
be regarded as new doctrine by students
of law. 1t may go il Kansas, but such
doctrine would have hard Shedding in
any other state. Likewise, the student
of law Will hardly see how mirrors, coun-
tiers, windows, doors and other things
not drinkable nor Intoxicating can De
subject to smashing as public nuisances,
unless made expressly so by statute.
This agitation will have its effect-it
will teach the prohibition element that
1t is impossible to legislate temperance
into community. Man will arrive at a
state of temperance, in habit and
thought and speech only through educa-
ton and generations of evolution.
Reforming by law and civilizing bv
force or arms are much alike, both be-
ing in direct opposition to the method
pointed out by nature and common sense.

applause was intended for this part of
the speech: when we come at last to
believe that the true mission of nations,

on earth, that comforting liberty is bet

are better for us than new markets, that
love is more elevating than hatred, that
peace Is nobler than war, that the hum

Little relief has been afforded the lead

ter of transportation facilities. In FACT
the situation on the whole is less salts

brought about the banking of some fur
naces. This in turn tends to harden
the market for pig iron, though no actual
alteration in prices has occurred, except
at Philadelphia, where % cents more a

the best barometer, present conditions
and future prospects are certainly most
encouraging, for orders are abundant,

handle growing business.
Material is purchased now for much
structural work in the spring, and addi-
tional contracts are seeking acceptances.
Railway needs were never as pressing,
