UNCLE SAM AND PROHIBITION.
From Topeka Capital


The suggestion that the internal re-
venue laws should be so amended that
Uncle sam Will not accept the tax on
the retail liquor business in prohibit
ton states, raises an interesting ques-
ton. The payment Of the internal re-
venue tax il should be understood, is
not equivalent TO acquiring a license
OF permit from the federal govern
ment 70 sell liquor The stamp given
in receipt Of the tax is not a license
to sell It is merely a stamp or re-
ceipt indicating that the tax required
by law where a retail business is con-
Quoted has been paid The federal
government has nothing TO do with
liquor laws, these matters belonging
TO the police power Of the states
The federal statutes says
The payment Of any tax imposed
by the internal revenue laws for car
rying on any trade or business, shall
not be held to exempt any person
from any penalty or punishment pro-
Yided by the laws Of any state for
carrying on the same within such
state, or in any manner authorize the
commencement OF continuance Of such
trade or business contrary to the laws
Of such state or in places prohibited
by municipal law"
The federal authorities cooperate
with state authorities in enforcing
state laws regulating the liquor bust
ness, to this extent, that persons con-
Quoting such business without an in
ternaI revenue stamp are yigilantly
hunted down and vigorously prOsecut-
ed BY the federal government But
the object OF the federal authorities is
not at all to enforce state laws il is
solely to collect its tax and to punish
persons negleCting to pay the tax It's
vigilance is such that jOintists in pro-
hibitiOn states as a usual thing take
good care TO secure a stamp before
going into the business
As there are persons in all states
who are legally entitled to sell liquor,
any amendment along Cne line sug-
gested must observe their rights, and
the amendment, whatever it may be,
should be OF general application to all
states. It would probably read some
thing like this, as a provisO to the
present tax law:
Provided, that internal revenue
collectors shall not accept a tax for
the carrying on Of retail liquor bust
ness nor issue a stamp to any person
in any Of the states until the appli-
cant therefor shall file with the col
lector a certified copy OF a legal per-
NIT OF license from the local authOri-
ties to conduct such business"
The language is crude, but it indi-
Gates about how the amendment
would read, applying alike in prOhibi-
ton, high license and low license
states.
With such an amendment to the in
ternaI revenue laws, II the federal au-
thOrities continued to hunt down and
convict persons selling without a
stamp, it is apparent that the enforce
ment Of prohibition would be i'm
mensely aided by the federal govern
ment- No jOintist could get a stamp
Following this amendment, il Kan
sas should pass a law making the pos
session Of a stamp prima facie evil
dence that a retail liquor business was
being conducted on the premises and
by the person possessing the stamp,
prohibition would be Of much easier
enforcement than heretofore.

SOME Kernels, FROM KANSAS.

A neatly printed booklet, cOmpre-
hensive in the matter it contains and
circulating under the fitting name.
Some Kernels has dropped in upon
Us from the pen Of F D COburn, sec

teresting facts regarding the sun
Hover" state as a corn state:
The value Of the Kansas corn crop
Of 1902 from only 10 per cent OF her
area, was sufficient TO more than five
times cover the cost OF the entire
Louisiana Purchase and nearly eleven
paid for Alaska

the last twenty years the state has
raised 2,957,122,161 bushels, worth on

Though Kansas produces more
wheat than any other state or coun-
try in the world wheat is a side issue,
and but one OF various secondary
items. the worth OF which must be
aggregated to even approach the
value Of corn
The Kansas corn crop was worth
over S6.0OO.0OO more than all her
other products in 1902"
IN almost any year. threee OF four
OF the more northern OF the states
counties produce more corn than the

Kansas corn and wheat exceed that

fell behind Kansas BY a little less than

OF.BUsINEss Is WAR


In Tom Watson's Magazine for Oc-
tOber, is related a sort OF business
duel in which Heinze, the Montana
copper king, and the Anal gamated
were the parties at war, Senator
Clark being involved in the contest in
the role OF the faithless. The article
illustrates the vicious principle Of
business is war" 1t was a fight be-
tween a big man, financially, and a
big combination Of money interests;
where the laws Of the country and
the honor Of the men engaged seem
10 have been totally abandoned, and
shows again the daring and unpTinci-
pied methods which some day, if not
checked, Will cast the country into
great panic and paraIyze the nervous
centers Of American industry. The
article says:
When Clark needed Heinze's poll
teal support in his fight for the sen
atOrship he went on HeiRze's bond
for 100000 in a suit that the Butte
and Boston company had brought
against Heinze- When Clark made
his alliance with the Amalgamated he
went before the supreme court and
asked permission to remove his
name from TIE bond. which request
the supreme court denied Shortly at
Heinze in the supreme court in which
he was obliged to furnish a bond for
$4,000 Clark was able, by his in
ffuence. TO prevent Heinze from get
ting any Montana men to furnish this
bond.
Great was the joy in. the AmaIga-
mated camp that night The 'Sys-
tenn believed that Heinze could not
possibly get a bond for such an i'm
mense- sum. and. as Heinze's policy Of
expansion had involved every dollar
OF his available capital, they stood
back with joyous hearts to await the
crash. The court would order his
mines closed, his smelter would shut
down, his hank collapse and Heinze
would walk ont OF Butte dead-boke-
To the amazement OF the System
Heinze walked into the supreme court
the next morning and filed a bond for
100000. given by the Wilmington
CDelaWare) Bonding and Casualty
company. and decorated with the big
golden seal OF the state OF Delaware.
Four months later, when Heinze had
gotten out Of his tight place and was
once more on Easy street, the anger
OF the System can be Imagined
when they learned how they had been
tricked. A month before Clark be-
trayed Heinze in the supreme court
Heinze, who, was watching for signs
and sensed what was coming, walked
into his Office in a towering rage one
day and summarily discharged five OF
his clerks and bOOkkeepeFs- They
disappeared with $4,000 OF Heinze's
money, but speedily arrived in VIII
mingtons Del, where they opened
magnificent offices and applied to the
proper authorities for the right TO do
business. This was granted: but all
the business they ever did was to
send a beautiful bond a triumph OF
the engraver's art, to their employer
when he teleEraphed for It The su-

LIBERTIES OF YOUTH.

Is SO much to attract, detracC ana
distract we should make a contract
to attract in a proper way. Things
that we were not permitted to en-
gage in IN our youthful days have
now become pleasant pasttlmes.
Too much libertyis given to child
ren. We should remember that
the liberties of youth are the
chains of old age. 1t is human to
err, and especially with children,
and if they are allowed too many
liberties they are sure to err too
many times. It may seem hard
to demand and enforce strict obe-
dience, it may seem bnrdensome,
but men grow stronger by carry
ing heavy burdens.
One of the characteristics OF
true manhood is a high regard for
honor, even III small matters.
The laborer should be as willing
to 60 to work at a stated hour
as he is to quit at a stated hour.
Dead beats are numerous all over
the country and they become such
by Titles. To much liberty IN
childhood and youth is a sure pro-
Queer of dead-beats. Children ale
prone to procrastinate and when
the habit has once taken deep root
it is hard to break. Parental in
reference should step in with the
first act of procrastination with
the child. A golden opportunity
lost yesterday between sunrise and
sunset. It has flown and cannot
be recalled. Don't lose any more.
Evil thoughts fly through the
mental horison very frequently,
but they need not find a place of
repose there, if they-do they will
eventually be brought into action
and evil will result therefrom.
These are fed by the liberties of
youth. The parent is expected to
be the guide for the children and
if the child grows to be a bad man
the responsibility, largely, rests
upon the parent. Too much Ii
berty tends to recklessness, and
reckIessness leads to destruction.
Uncle Joe Cannon refused to
take dinner at the White House
because Chief Justus Harlan would
precede him and have the honor
of taking Mrs. Roosevelt into din
ner. We have all seen the trans
formations in our statesmen. Men
coming sockless to Congress re-
turn to their astonished commune

statesman appearing at cabinet
receptions in high hat and tan
shoes may be met in Europe the
following year travelling with a
valet. There was a time within
the memory of man when Uncle 10
considered necktie a superfluity,
and q clean shirt and a vest all

fastidious could desire. But all
this is changed. He is speaker of
