Generally speaking one would say
that the man who asked anything
more in the way of weather than this
part Of Kansas has had since the mid
die of June, would be a hog. The rains
have come when the wheat needed it.,
and the hot days have come when the
corn needed it. The cool weather has
been sent to keep the pastures green,
and the hot nights have made the corn
hump itself most gloriously.
The rivers have been up when they
should be and low when they should
be. The only things that have gone
wrong, have been the oats. and the
Hungarian spelt. and no one cares
much about those crops. There IS no
complaint on any side. Every one is
happy. Every one has so much more
than he expected in the dry days of
May that no one is asking for more,
and yet if the request could be edged
in, with a bushel of gratitude without
calling too much attention to it. the
Gazette would like to file a requisi-
ton for just about a quarters worth
of rain for the late corn. OF course
there viii be no complaint If the rain
doesn't come, but there can be no
harm in asking the weather man-for

KANSAS CONNENT
Law ENFoRcEME NT.

Law ENFORCEMENT.
OF course there are a few towns in
Kansas, more particularly the river
towns, where there is a strong senti-
ment against. the. enforcement of the
prohibition law. In Wyandotte coun-
Y, where the law has been enforced
without Governor Hoch's co-opera-
1ions this sentiment was stronger than
anywhere else. But since the law has
been made effective there It is wholly
improbable that there would be a vote
IN favor OF disregarding it. as the pee
Pie nave learned the value OF enforce
ment. This matter of law enforce
ment is not a matter of temperance
The people Of Kansas are divided on
the temperance proposition, but they
are pretty thoroughly united on the
law enforcement issue. Many q man
dlsapproves OF a law who would not
stand for the open violation OF that
law merely because he does not like it,
and he knows that a fragrant disre-
gard for one important statute breeds
contempt for all law. It is bad
enough for community merely to
acquiesce in general and fragrant
disregard for law. but it is vastly
worse for the community to give for
mai sanction to such violation by ac-
cept1ng brides in return for official
immunity. The present political issue
in Kansas is not forcing the temper
ance question to the front again ex-
cept so far as that question is inciden-
tai to the general issue OF law en-
forcement.-Kansas City Times.

them occurring about a year ago. At
