Prohibition.
Prohibition in Kansas has reached
the stage of a chronic malady. For
years the Republican politicians have
dealt deceitfully with the people re-
speeding this question. The party be-
ing hopelessly divided along the line
that divides wet from dry, and realiz-
ing that the votes of both factions are
necessary to constitute partisan
majority, they have deliberately at
tempted to fool, and have generally
succeeded in fooling both, putting wet
candidates on dry platforms, assuring
the dry that the law would be vigor-
ously enforced, while whispering and
winking at the vets, supplying and
paying them with free liquors on the
eve of elections, and wholly ceasing
to prosecute on the near approach of
elections making SpaSmodic spurtS of
prosecutions between elections, and at
all times extending immunity to ia
vorites in the liquor trade, thus play
ing fast and loose and blowing hot and
cold. Each faction being made TO be-
lieye that it was getting the most of
the other in this game of duplicity,
| and each joining hands with the 9TH
er until the political union for base
partisan purposes of the wet with the
dry, of the saint with the sinner, of
the temperance bowler with the liquor
seller, of "the puritan" with the
blackleg, has become a fixed con-
dition against which it is impossi-

Good Word for the Hawk.-An old

up for the hawk. He says the hawk

Sorghum is popularity supposed to

plOwed under late in the fall will
greatly improve very sandy soils or
very tough soils and put them in fine

Sorghum fed alone will sustain life

quires for it's best development some
thing which the sorghum does not

Never over-feed either the old or the

those you wish to dispose of and shut
them up in close quarters for at least
a week or ten days. Feed them fat

clean and give them plenty of fresh

filthy places except disease, which
means disappointment and loss to the

time to do it. Don't wait until the
breeder has disposed of all his best.

Locust the Best Fence Posts

Within the range of its occurrence
the black locust makes out best post
