lheiTemperante Situation in Kansas
4 EvidenceIis constantly eccumulating
to show the remarkable Temperance
sentiment developed in Kansas under
the prohibition law. AT one editoria
convention in Manhattan the other day
it was!stated by one of the members
who had been investigating the subject
that of the 1888 newspapers and period
icals published in Kansasit was possible

publications will exclude all advertise

secular press refusing this kind o
patronage.

temperance principal possessed by the
editors, there is an overwhelming de
mand on the part Of Kansas subscriber
to have this sort Of advertising exclud
ed from their papers. Aid in view o
: indications such as this, the talk OF re
submission in Kansas has little groun
