Tuesday evening and secured two of
the principals, the other managing

he brought two women as witnesses.
None could talk English and the fun
began when an interpreter was secur-

case out with the costs divided.
One paid his share while the other
had no money and went to Jail.

The Republican State Committee
in session at Charleston may have
devised ways and means for the
coming campaign, but assuredly
their work can be but preliminary.
The committee can not make plat
forms, nor can they nominate candi-
dates. These latter things must and
will be done by conventions Of the
various sorts, and the campaign will
be fought out on those issues and the
men. However, the cooperation Of
The State committee with. the other
committees and candidates will be
Of much value.

The Prohibitionists In county
convention assembled are on record
officially in in stand against
fusion, having passed this rcs6lu-
ton: 1--WE are hereby maltcrably
opposed to fusion with any license
party, as previous experience has
taught us that an alliance with a
party opposed to prohibition has al

say the least, it was long time be-
fore the Prohibitionists awokc 10
this. Certainly, they could have
seen this years ago, but there seems
10 he somewhat Of a change Of con-
ditions. Until recently Prohibition
conventions were packed with Dem
ocrats and the latter usually domin-
ated the conventions and dictated
policies and nominations Of candi-
dates. In the present instance there
seems to have been birth Of Demo-
Gratis present, though there was what
appeared TO be a single attempt to
run Democracy into their delibca-
tions. 1t is hardly probable either
from the character Of the men that
they will withdraw from the contest
in order to aid Democrats. Democ-
racy, however, may resort to a rusc
to deceive the people by endorsing

During a performance Of the Err
wood Stock company at the opera
house Tuesday night, George Fogg
and Emery Riblett, young boys pre-
sumably about IA years of age, start
ed to fight in the gallery. They
were quickly arrested and taken to
Jail. Wednesday morning Mayor
Harmer sent them to the county
jail indefinitely. It is likely that
he will recommend to some justice
that they be sent to the reform
school.
The only other prisoner to face
his honor was William Winters, who
was drunk. He didn't deny it, but
he did deny having the required
$4.6O, and it was to the Jail for him.

The National government deserves
great praise for the prompt and de-
termined manner in which it came
to the rescue and relief Of the afllct-
ed hundreds Of thousands in the
great Pacific coast city. The work
of the army there played a promin-
ent part in preventing a confusion
that would have doubtless resulted
in an appalling mortality list. The
relief sent quickly by the President,
his Cabinet and Congress will do
much to alleviate the sufferings Of
the people and 10 prevent a pesti-
lence that would be more deadly a
thousand times that the earthquake
and the great conaagration. The
fact is the nation as a government
and a people have responded in a
manner that astonishcs the world
and have shown that American
brotherhood is superbly common.

Prohibitionists would have every

way to settle the liquor question. Arm

man holding contrary opinion as
an enemy of the stateand Of society.

HISTORIC FORT
LEAVENK0RTH

Federal interest is being awakened
IN the scheme to preserve certain
western historical relies and to per.
ranently identify locations of equal
Importance. For some places local en-
tlusiasm has done much in this dl.
rcctlon, notably in the case of mark
,ng the course of the old Santa Fe
trail but on military and government
reservations this help could not be en-.
listed.
Perhaps among all the historical
spots that abound near Kansas City,
Forth Leayenworth is the most inter
esting. OF course Shawnee Mission,
the Santa Fe trail in Missouri and
the site of Quindaro re points about
which cling splendid memories of
great achievements, but it was at Fort
Leayenworth that the government
first established its military head
quarters in this vicinity. 1t was in
Mar, 1927, that the Third U. S. infan-
try from jefferson Barracks estab-
lished on the high plateau north of
the present city of Leavenworth q
caLtonment, which was named ater
Henry Leavenworth, Colonel of the
regiment At this time there were
pending the anneXations Of the Ore
gon country, Texas, New Mexico and
California. Thomas II. Benton had
secured meagre appropriation tC
mark n trail of commerce between
Independence, Mo-, and New Mexico,
and Fort LeavenwOrth was estab.
lished to protect travellers and traders
who ventured into this far western
wilderness. Later there were stirring
battles with Indians, and there are
men living today who stood behind
those primitive military works of the
first fort and held off the savages,
Fort Leavenworth is the most i'm
portant aS well as the most beautiful
infantry post in the United States. 1t
has been improved wonderfully with
n recent years and many old build
ings have been torn down to make
room for new ones. It's officer s
school brings to it the foremost young
men of the army and every year sees
important material changes. 1t is
ne of hte show places Of this part of
the West, and it well deserves this
distinction.
But to the older residents of Kansas
there's something about the post that
is even more cherished than the fine
buildings and glossy parade grounds.
That is the history of the place, for 1t
was largely Leavenworth that broke
the balance between the free and the
slave states, and around its wills have
swept the currents of historic events.
There are now several crumbling rel
les of the olden days; battered walls
and shattered monuments, that should
be preserved from the despoiling con-
tractors. A part of one wall still
stands close to the Grant monument
tl.at is particularly picturesque and
contrasts strangely with the modern
military architecture all about 1t.
This bit of wall that sheltered the
pioneers of Leavenworth and the
soldiers of half century ago should
be sacrodly guarded. If the federal
government fails to do so, soon 1t will
be too late.
