For the Aid of the Blind.

An enterprising sheet OF this county in
commenting on the cost of IA new court
house, sagely argued that 2H mills on the
dollar would be 25 cents on the thousand.
We may he lame in our arithmetic, but 1t
figures out like $3.50 to us-LaHarpe
News.
Which shows how fair the News is
about question on which it is shout
ing from the house tops that lola has
been unfair. The REGISTER is "the
enterprising sheet" referred to, and
the figures above quoted were OBJ
viousiy misprint, as the editor of
the News well knows. The typo sim
ply got an extra in the column.
The statement should have read that
the tax would be % cents on each 800
of assessed property, and $3.50 on
each 81. 900 of assessed property. The
error made the REGISTER say the tax
would be % cents on $1,000 and 81. 30
on $1,000, an error patent to all and
easily located. There is none so blind
as those who don't want to see. The
court house tax will cost but % cents
annually on the 500 valuation.

to stop it. A woman raids that Joint

tiles that protect the joint keeper in

Second, whether there will not Or
ganize sentiment in the country that
exists in greater degree than many be-
lieve, that it would be righteous and
just TO mob every saloon keeper that
comes into the state; not to kill him,
but to tar and feather him, ride him
on rail or something else to destroy
his saloon fixtures. This has been
done in several cases, but has taken
on nothing like permanent or organ
lied form. The probability of such
a course has been discussed in the
State Temperance Unions, and while
it has alwas been discouraged by that
body it has been looked upon as q
probability. We have expected it to
emanate from the colleges where en-
thusiasm runs high, where age and
experience have not taught modera-
ton, where they crate on the Boston
Tea Party, and John Brown of Oso-
watomie, and see in these sons of the
revolution and lovers of freedom a
heroic spirit that hated oppression of
any kind. But that it should have
started by woman whose husband is
sober; whose life is devoted to the
peaceful art of preaching and healing,
we did not expect. Mrs. Nation may
be declared legally wrong, but she is
eternally right in principle whether
her methods are wise or not. Mrs.
Nation is nearer right than the 'Bos-
ton Tea Party that dumped a cargo
of British tea into the bay for the
British were acting in harmony with
law. She is nearer right than John
Brown, for at the time John Brown
raided Harper's Ferry, slavery was
as legal as farming. But here is an
institution that is a greater evil than
slavery and the tax on tea combined
and contrary to the laws and consti-
tuition of the state of Kansas.

Mr.. LanyOn Will Live Here.

The REGISTER is very much pleased
to report that Mr.. William Lanyon
has negotiated the purchase of several
acres of land on the hill north of town,
just east of the j. A. Robinson home,
and will erect thereon a handsome
home for himself and family this sum-
mer. Mr.. Lanyon is the kind of a
citizen that every town is glad to well
come and lola has always felt rather
hurt that so many of the gentlemen
who have their manufacturing BUSH
ness here have seen fit to retain their
residence elsewhere. But that day is
passing and one by one they are
identifying their interests once and for
all with this town, which is a COM
plimentary expression of faith in
lola's future and a helping guarantee
that that future shall be realized.

An Interesting Possibility.

Everybody knowns what aluminium
is and that it is extracted from clay,
but nobody seems to have worked his
wits connectedly and thought that
lola, with clay on every street and on
every foot-and hand-and with
abundant cheap fuel might be a first
class place for a factory where the
coming metal might be made. Leigh
Hunt, engineer at the cement plant.
while looking at an aluminium ink
stand last night suddenly remarked:
Say there is all kinds of aluminium
in some of the shale we use at the Gem
ent plant. Wonder why it couldn't be
manufactured here :" And there is no
reason. Aluminium, the white, strong
light metal, that has the strength of
steel, the malleability of brass and
the lightness of wood, will undoubt-
eddy be of great commercial import.
ance in the Twentieth century. 1t is a
new metal, but it is gaining ground
and it may not be a dream
to say that perhaps lola may have a
finger in supplying the worlds de-

The Logic of the Envious.

Dispatches from Indiana bring re-
peated reports of the gradual but GER
tain failing of the gas wells, bring
ing disaster to factories and distress
to homes which have made no pro-
vision for other fuel, And the Fort
Scott Tribune takes this text for a
sermon on why that town should be
glad today that it is not in the Kansas
gas belt. If Fort Scott is happy lola
surely is. lola is glad she's in.
Grant for the sake of argument that
some day Iola's gas will fail. Experts
say it will last ten, twenty, perhaps
thirty years. Take the average, and
fifteen years from now lola will be a
town of twice or thrice the size of Fort
Scott. If hungry man, watching an
other feast, can console himself with
the reflection that the feaster will get
hungry again, it simply shows that
the gods have been kind in supplying
the hungry man with Il philosophic
apparatus. 1t doesn't prove that the
man who eats is worse Off than the
hungry man who don't.

May Knock the Liquor Law out.

Ever since the new liquor law was
passed by the legislature there has
been talk about its being constitutions
al or not. The Kansas City journal
says on this subject;
"The attorneys employed by the
Kansas City, Kas., saloonmen to ex-
anime the new law enacted at the last
Legislature, which pertains to the en-
forcement of the prohibitory law, will
in probability attempt to have these
acts declared unconstitutional. 1t is
understood that flaw has been found
of sufficient seriousness to endanger
the legality of the law. 1t is generally
conceded that unless the last law can
be knocked out, " the future sale of
liquor in Kansas will be materially
limited, In fact, the local liquor
dealers figure that unless the law is
declared invalid the business has prac-
tically been abolished.
However, they have confidence in
the ability oftheir lawyers to convince
the supreme court that the anti-liquor
legislation enacted at the last session
of the legislature is wholly unconsti-
tutional. 1t is understood that a test
case is to be made of the first arrest
to occur

Suit FOR Divorce.

In the district court last Friday
papers were filed by Hannis Wise
asking for divorce from his wife,
Ellen G. He alleges that they were
married in Anderson county in 1896,
had one three year old child, and
have lived happily until early in 1900
when he says that young man named
Bowers broke into their Eden and
stole away his wife's affections. He
asks also that he be given the custody
of their child and such lands and
property as he now owns. Mrs. Wise
left Thursday for her home in Colony
and it is not known whether she will
fight the suit or not.
