1t seems rather strange that in a civil
lied nation where all citizens love their
country anyone should take the
flags from a cemetery to use them to
scare away hawks and crows. This act
is looked upon by the public as an insult
to the stars and stripes. There are some
who love to see "Old Glory" honored,
but when it is stuck upon a hen coop
the loyal hearts in a community are
stirred.

NEWT FAME.
Brieflets from the w. c. T. U. Con-
vention.

NentlOn.
Lawyer Butterfeld of Wilmington was
among the guests at Thursday morning 9
session, and at least six members of the
Union were present from that town. Six
clergymen, representing three denomina-
lions, were in attendance more or less
of the time. Rev. f. A. Holden of Nor
ris. Conn, in speaking afterward of his
interest in the discussion, referred to
criticisms of scientific temperance in
struction in the public schools and gave
1t as his opinion that If in any case It
were lacking in thoroughness and inter
est IL could probably he traced as an ac-
compartment to poor instruction in other
branches. lie thought Vermont would
do well to follow the example of Con-
necticut in having its own towns provide
free tuition in neighboring academies and
High schools. About 100 were served on
the second day of the convention in the
church dining room. The oldest min
county president would make a good
bishop so well did she keep the varied
business in hand. Twelve w. c. r. U.
members were present at the opening
who were here at the first convention
is years ago, the second county meet
ing. including the organization at Brat
tleboro in 1883. The local Union was %
years old last month, and reported AZ
members and q honorary members.
The invitation from Wilmington for next
years gathering was heartily given and
applauded. The midway recesses of the
morning and afternoon. sessions were
valuable for social greetings, as well as
rest from solid work of the convention.
The convention reporter from another
place doubtless fills another column by
giving the program in order.

A Lawyers Lecture on Prohibition VS..
License.

The general opinion of last week Fri
day evening was that c. j. Ferguson of
Burlington gave a clear and forcible ar
gument before a well filled house. He
is an able speaker, who can closely hold
an audience. He declared liquor to be
the foe of the individual. and the foe
of society. If the state does not crush
the liquor, the liquor traffic will crush
the state. The saloon degrades man,
pauperizes the individual. and dishon-
ors the government. 1t is the greatest
menace of the country. the greatest en-
envy of the state and church. The indi-
vidual must be subject to law for the
good of the community. In a republic
the degradation of the people is the de-
graduation of government because the peo-
pie are the government. The problem of
the boy is the problem of the state. Pro-
hibition is as near as possible to des-
truction of the liquor traffic We find
some intelligent and good people in favor
of license, strange as II may seem: but
things absolutely and entirely bad are
not to be licensed, but prohibited

Rail Road News.

The railroad meeting at Fellsburg
was we'll attended by the citizens in
that part of the county.
Representative Brown of Pratt
county and Mr.. Moore of Prattsburg
were the speakers of the evening and
entertained the crowd in good shape.
1t was demonstrated that the farm
ers were almost a unit on voting bonds
for the road if they can have sta
tion in every township which will
give them grain shipping facilities.
Some time ago u report was sent to
Mo. Pacific headquarters in St. Louis
giving statistics as to the number of
bushels of wheat and corn raised in
territory which the prospective road
traverS =.
Mr.. Rarlin one of the officials who
was here year ago, said the road
would be extended from luka to Kins-
ley when the people 1cdHted 1t. That
all they needed to do was to talk it
up.
The talk proposition is an easy one
for Kansas, and railroad could be
built TO China on that basis. The
new Mo. Pacific maps recently Issued
show the road projected from Iuka
to kiusley.
LATER.-FOur men are going to ST.
Louis Saturday night on the rail road
business, Mr.. Butler representing
Franklin township, Nj. Berkey Lincoln.
Representative Brown and another
man from Pratt county whose name
we did not learn. They will be met
in st. Louis by the editor of the
Graphic if it is possible To catch him
with Il telegram, and he will represent
Kinsley. MIR. Butler was in the city
Yesterday getting statements from the
Kinsley business men in regard to
the amounts of freight paid the Santa
Fe during the year, which will give a
good idea of the volume of business.
1t was the intention of the Kinsley
citizens to call a meeting next week
to send a man to st. Louis but owing
to the change in plansit was too late.
1t is to be hoped that our people will
forget every thing but our city of
KInsley and her business interests.
and work with vim To bring this
road here if possible.
