Prohibition aid Prosperity in
a,nsas.
In response.o a request tor
information Ylative to Prohlbl

Hoch kindly fFvors us with the
following:
Il am Overwhelmed with

have been a 'esident of this
State for IS years, helped to
put Prohibition iuto our constl-
tuition in 1880 and have been
IN the thick Of the fight ever
since. 1t has been a hard tight
and an unfair cne. Every State
surrounding Us has been op
posed to our policy and con
tributed in every way possible
to it's defeat. The powerful infiu
ences Of the brewers and dls.
tillers, with unlimited money,
have been arrayed against US.
Every conceivable technicality
has been invoked in the courts
against the law, but to-day in
one hundred out of one hundred
and five counties of the State
the law is as we'll enforced as
any other penal statute, and IN
the remaining counties the
atmosphere is getting quite sui
try for it's violatora. We have
the only State capital in tho
Union abs lutely without a
saloon. We have q quarter of
a million young men and young
women over 2l years of age who
never saw a saloon. I believe
we have the most prosperous
people on earth. They have
over 800 per capital in the
banks and a poor house is a
Joke in Kansas. Prohibition
has been a great benefit to this
State morally, educationally and
financially. Prohibition is the
only logical attitude Of govern
ment toward a recognized evil,
and that the liquor traffic is a
recognized evil is attested by
every license lkwv high or low,
and nd-basAs&aaalee.sssaa lee.sssa-bby every
court from tH lowest to the
highest.
II believe the victory won in
Kansas City, Kan, is the great
est single victory ever won for
temperance in the U nj t e d
States. Right across a street is
Kansas City, Mo-, but the joints
are still closed on our side and
the city was never before 80
prosperous. Later reports from
the banks are even better than
those given by Mr.. Trickett.
With $84, 900 revenue from the
joints the city ran $4,000 be-
hind the last year Of the old
system, but under our new sYs'
tenn it is self-supporting and the
city has increased in population
13, 900 the last year"

Loss Of MILLION
IN CHICAGO FIRE
Mcneil and Higgins Grocery
Company Building De-
stroyed Early Today.

CHICAGO, Jan. IS.-Losses which will
amount to nearly 100000 were sus-
taiRed early today in a fire which
destroyed the six-story building of the
Mcneil and Higgins Grocery Company.
In addition, heavyt damages were sus-
Jaired by Reid, Murdoch & Co., the
Banner Supply Company, the Union
Stone Ware Company. and the Aianship
& Boltz Envelope Company, which oc-
cupied adjoining structures.
A section OF the Illinois Tunnel Com
pany's system had just been completed
under the grocery house, and tons Of
water were poured into this.
The fire is believed to have gained
Roadway by spreading upward through
three elevator shafts at the center and
AT each end OF the Mcneil and Higgins
building, reaching the roof in a short
time. Within half an hour after the
first alarm had been sounded the roof,
as well as a part of the wall at the
alley, fell in. Capt. Frank Oswald. Of
Engine Co. 13, was near the dangerous
point, and was injured on the right
hand by glass.

HARTFORD, Conn. Jan. 1S.-The Taft

Connecticut in his list OF States which

resentative Butterworth Of Ohio, has

The Ohio Middle

The end of the first weeks cam
paign in Ohio for the United States
senatorship between Taft, Burton
and Foraker leaves the contest in a
very uncertain state. with the
chances now favoring the Cleveland
man. There is a growing feeling
that the candidacy of Charles P.
Taft is going to involve the President
elect in many ways, and his true
and the followers of the Re
publican party believe that the cleo
ton of his brother to the senate at
this time would be a great mistake.
This feeling is losing some votes for
Taft and making the contest much
more uncertain.-Charles Mail.

A Prfnary EIeetion La,v.

For state. congressional and sem
atorial nominations there appears to
be a growing sentiment for pri-
mary election law, and as the Repub-
Iican party in its state platform de-
clares for Legislation along this line
there is a belief that such a law will
soon be in erect in West Virginia.
1t is subject that must be thor
oughy threshed out, owing to its
vast Importance, ana Governor-elect
Glasscoek wisely suggests commits
sion for the purpose instead of re-
ferring it to the usual election COM
mittees of the two branches Of the
legislature. After a bill has been
carefully prepared, the state solons
themselves and the State press as
well may thresh it out and make
such suggestions as they deem best,
so as to make such law as perfect
as is possible
The magisterial district unit plan,
as suggested by the Wheeling intel
Iigencer, seems to be the best, ex-
cept that there may be differences
of opinion, when it comes to the
nominations of county candidates.
Explaining the object of primary
election law the InteIligencer states
editorially:
The object of a primary is 10 as
certain the will of the voters, under
the most favorable conditions. The
state wide primary would be the ideal
method of deciding an issue between
two candidates who were evenly
matched and had equal power and
opportunity TO develop local organiza-
tfons. In the very nature of things,
however, this cannot DE when we
have many candidates for many diff
fereut Offices. and few of them have
the means or the tins to visit each
county and perfect an organization
therein The Intelligencer has not
so far lost it's confidence in the fair
ness and honesty of Individual men,
that it fears that any great harm
will come 10 the party or the state
from conven tions made up of dele
gates who have been honestly and
fairly chosen by their friends and
neighbors in their own magisterial
districts The abuses of which we
have had cause to complain in West
Virginia have not arisen from dele
gates chosen in this way.
The primary law should require aal
primaries to be held on or about the
same day; and the primary should
have all the sanctity and protection
that pertain TO an election. Primar-
les so conducted win insure harmon
ious party action. insure a high grade
of candidates for office, and will be
free from some very Objectionable
features that are certain to attend
81 tie wide primaries.
