SIGNIFICANT RESULTS.

The results of the municipal cleo
tons in Kansas this week indicate that
the sentiment in favor of law enforce
ment is making considerable Roadway;
that a number of Kansas towns which
have heretofore usually voted for any
thing that meant open saloons have
decided to join the ranks of those
that believe in obedience to law
The most pronounced of these vic
tories for law enforcement are those
in Kansas City. Kan, and Wichita
The former city has for years had
wideopen saloons until a few months
ago. Even when the supreme court
busted its mayor from Office for nom
enforcement of the prohibitory law
Kansas City turned around and re-
elected him in defiance of the supreme
court incidentally getting him into
serious trouble with that tribunal.
Last Tuesday ex-Mayor Rose was
again a candidate for the mayoralty
He wanted a ''vindication." But in
the meantime Kansas City has been
experimenting with Acknowledgement.
The saloons have been closed, and the
merchants have found their bills bet
ter paid than they used to be. Former
ly the workingmen cashed their pay
checks on Saturday nights in the sa-
loons-and incidentally spent most of
the money in them. After the saloons
were closed the men cashed their
checks in the grocery and clothing
stores. The merchants found trade
much better and they did not lose so
many accounts. They concluded that
the city wouldn't go to the bow-wows
after all, even If the revenue from the
saloons were cut of. Men were more
sober, their families were better pro-
vided for, and all classes We're happier
except tho jointists.
That is why Kansas City, Kan,
voted on Tuesday to keep the saloons
closed by electing a dry mayor, and
that is why ex-Mayor Rose did not get
his "vindication."
The situation in Wichita was differ
ent Wichita has never tried the ex-
pertinent of electing a dry mayor
and closing the saloons. In fact, the
"drys' have been so disheartened that
they have not made an aggressive
campaign for years. The joints have
controlled both parties.
But this year an independent league
was formed and a movement started to
dethrone the clique that has always
controlled in city affairs, and the first
clared in favor of obedience to the
state laws and in favor of closing the
joints and other dens of iniquity. 9th
er things entered into the campaign,
but the independents declared in ia
vor of improved conditions generally,
and the independent candidate won by
a majority of 1899.
Never before have the "drys" had a
newspaper which would give them a
hearing. but when Henry Allen bought
the Beacon a few weeks ago, he not
only gave them a hearing, but he as
sumed an independent attitude in the
contest. not taking sides because he

however, he found that the "wets'
were padding the registration and that
something like $500 month had
been collected from the joints and 9TH
