it would naturally be supposed that the
election would end the matter.
Nevertheless the questisn was before
the supreme court again last week on a
writ of mandamus to compel the county
board TO recognize the Platte petition as
legal. The continuation of the suit on
the part of Platte is based on the con-
tention that the question must be sub
mitted at the first general election after
the final Judgment in the suit, and with
ont further petition than the one in
question. IF it secures favorable action
in court it hopes to get another vote on
the question of removal at the next
general election, on the ground that
the vote last year was void and of no
effect.

THE COVE RNOR EXPLAINS,
a Kansas Senator Who Will be
Good Hereafter.

During the recent legislative erup-
ton at Topeka one of the more
impetuous representatives introduced
a bill which had already passed.
The Governor vetoed it and remarked
that it was up to the representative
to 'set 'em up" A member of the
opposition, thinking it was danger
Gus expression for the governor of a
prohibition state to use, rashly had
a resolution adopted calling on the
governor to explain. Mr.. Hoch was
extremely busy, but he disengaged
his signing hand from the pile of
bills before him long enough to dash
off the following reply:
To The Senate:
81 am in receipt of senate resolu-
ton No. 40, introduced by the SEN
ator from Atchison county, request
ing me to explain what was meant
by the term ''set 'em up" as used in
my veto message of Senate bill, No.
34l. This expression used playfully,
and without having any particular
meaning, and possibly hardly com
porting with the dignity of your
body, seems to have had, if not a
good, at least an unexpected effect,
in that it has caused the emaciated
corpse of the Kansas democracy to
take on a semblance of life and sit
up and take Notice The belief in
miracles is here strengthened by
absolute proof, showing that the pro-
per call will restore animation to the

his trumpet that the mountains
should rock to their bases, the
democratic party would probably
sleep on undisturbed, but if he were
even to whisper the magic words,
"set 'em up" the graves of this
morbid bound organization would
give up their dead, and from the
entire aggregation, headed by the
talented and handsome senator from
Atchison, would come the answer in
swelling chorus, "We will take the

VALLEY SPRINGS HAS SALOONS
Citizens Vote for License on Account OF
blind Pigs"

Valley Springs, s. D., March 24.--
The result of the annual municipal
election here, while anticipated in some
quarters, was surprise to many so far
as the saloon license issue was con-
cerned. Valley Springs has always
been considered one of the strongest
temperance towns in the state But by
majority of sixteen the voters have
declared for licensed saloons.
For some time the town has been
afflicted with "blind pigs" or "holes in
the WALL and the change in policy
was due to the fact that several attempts
to convict the illegal sellers of liquor
did not meet with success. The illegal
Joints were SO successful in elnding
the law and operated SO boldly that
many who have in the past voted for
no license changed in favor of the open
saloons.
