The liquor traffic tries to deceive the public with the cry Prohibition does not prohibit, but among them selves they speak the truth. Listen to their own official organs:-
 "The anticipated revival of trade has not yet materialized, that is. there has been no boom, as it was expected there would be. Comparing the present demand for spirits and alcohol with that two or three years ago at this season of the year, the decrease is enormous. At present the distill- CTS are running on about 40 per cent. capacity, whereas they should be on 90 per cent. basis. ''-Bonifort' 8 Wine aud Spirit Circular. New York, Feb. 25th.
 Midas Criterion. Chicago, one of the leading western trade journals of the liquor traffic, says: "Mida' s New York correspondent, J. Tanning o Reilly writes: "It is hard to dis. guise the fact that the trade aa a whole is suffering from the effects of persistent agitation aimed against itl very existenoe. So far as the retail trade of thia and adjoining states Ia concerned, it seems to be "sick unto death" it has got to the point where it refuses to respond to treatment, for no day seems to know ] what the next may bring forth"
 Midas staff correspondent from Cincinnati adds this testimony : "Gee but business is dull. We may whistle to keep up our courage. We may explain away all we please, but the fact remains that very little buy ing is actually going on. Occasional ly bright day comes along which seems to give promise of something better, but the promise is just about where it stops.''
 The Louisville representative of Midas chimes in: "Business is not all that it might be. During the early days of the month jobbers began to get into the market to replenish the stock. Then Tennessee came along and hit the business in the eye."
 San Francisco's correspondent re- ports similar conditions: 'The general impression is that there is no decided improvement in the liquor business, and no very great change is expected in the immediate future. #. One by one the smaller towns are going dry and while there is liquor sold there, even then the market is becoming restricted. Re- tailers everywhere are on the anxious seat. Travelling men who have returned from Oregon and Wash ington state that the business there seems to be demoralized. It is the consensus of opinion that the temperance movement is largely re- sDOnsible.'

SUSPENDED THREE ROUTES.
Inspector Is Making q Rigid Inspec'
ton OF the Kansas Routes.

The farmers out Of Leavnworth
who lost their rural route last month
have presented petition to the post
master and their representative In
congress asking that they again be
given the route. The inspector who
spent some time In LeavenwOTth last
summer told the road bosses and
farmers to fix UP their roads. The
orders did not set very well with the
farmers and the work was not attend
ed to. Later a letter was received
from Washington stating that the
route would be discontinued and this
was looked upon as bluff. At last
mail carriers failed to go around, and
now they realize that Uncle Sam is
not a frivolous person. The Topeka
papers stated that three routes In the

ROADS ARE VERY BAD.
Holiday Trade Demands Some Better
Travelling Soon.

The roads in the country are very
bad, resulting from the rain, mud
and freeze, Farm work is delayed
and some stock complaints are heard
The bad weather and the roads
have caused much encouragement
among the business men. Every one
is trying to work up a big Christmas
trade, but the weather is very much
against business of all kinds. Farm
ers are not only kept away, but the
town people hesitate about ventur-
ing out of doors just to do shop
ping. There is hardly line Of bust
ness that is not affected by such
weather, possibly one exception, the
shoe business.
There is one man especially who
the people do not envy in such
weather and he is the rural delivery
mail man. No one cares to share
their experiences Of the week past.
However the Abilene carriers have
not been doing like the carriers out
of Clay Center. Up there the post
master has Issued orders that car
riers would take two days to cover the
routes, spending one night in the
country at the middle of their routes.

THEY DIDN'T BITE HERE.
Golfers Says the Lewis Club House
Scheme Is Doubtful.

Golfers for this week contains
an editorial paragraph of interest to
number of Manhattan women. Dur
ing the past summer local chapter
of the American Women's League
was established here and $4,000
club house was promised at once.
Golfers which was one of the first
publications to take up with the Lew
is scheme now says that Mr.. Lewis
has the promoters temperament to
an unsafe degree and that he has
made more promises than he can full
fill. And above all Golfers advises
the women in every case to see to 1t
that the title to the club house prop
erty is in their own name. The first
proposition of Mr.. Lewis to the Man
haitian women was that the club
house would be built as soon as the
lot was bought and the title placed
in his name-Manhattan Mercury.
Abilene and Enterprise women
came near being worked into the
scheme but are probably thankful
they did not. Anything that offers
something for nothing is seldom OF
much good.

Think It over.

Every line in a newspaper costs
the proprietor something. If 1T ia
for the benefit of the individual II
should be paid for. If the grocer
were asked to contribute groceries
to one abundantly able to pay for
them, he would refuse The proprie-
tor Of newspaper must pay for the
free advertising II the beneficiary
does not. It is one Of the hardest
things to be learned by many people
that a newspaper has space in its
columns to rent and must rent II to
live. To give away rent for anything
else than living. rates is as fatal to
a newspaper as for a landlord to fur
nish rent free.-Gardner Gazette.

MOTOR LINE FROM NEWTON
is HEADED FOR ARLENE
One Branch to go to Salina--Better
Get Busy,

Here is something for the CONNER
cial club to work on. Salina, you
will notice. is busy. The salina Jour
nal tells the story:
Frank Hageman and T. D. Fitzpat-
rick, representing the Salina COM
mercial club, returned today from
Newton where they attended yester-
day a meeting called by the Newton
commercial club for the purpose Of
starting an interurban railway pro-
ject, which will be known as the
Kansas Central railroad company"
This projected line would use
standard guage motor cars, or pos
sibly electricity, and would run due
north from Newton through Canton,
Spring Valley, Roxbury, Gypsum to
the south side of the river, where one
branch would go to Abilene and one
to Salina. This would not only give
a direct north and south line through
a rich unoccupied country, but would
give a fine interurban line between
Sa1ina and Abilene.
A meeting OF the Salina CONNER
cial club will be held sometime next
week, at which John c. Nicolson Of
Newton and the engineer of the road
will be present.
1t is proposed to incorporate the
company at once for 100000 and
there will be no money wasted in
promotion bonds" 1t is proposed
to raise the money to build the road
direct from the farmers and business
men along the line. The right of
way, 1t is thought, will be largely
donated.
The character of the country makes
it possible to build and equip a mo-
tor car line for about $4,000 a mile
An electric line would cost $4,000
mile. The proposed line is 10
miles long.
The total cost of the line will be
about $1,200,OO0, and 1t is hoped
that this money can be raised by
direct subscription of the people in
terested.
Among those present at the meet
ing at Newton yesterday were Messrs.
Nicolay and Brown of Abilene; DR..
Brennan of Roxbury; J. M. Simpson
and Mr. Law of Spring Valley; Mr..
Dole of Do1e's Park, and a number Of
Newton people.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick said this morning:
"The line should, of course, be large
ly passenger proposition. We were
informed by the engineer that the
construction cost would be very low,
on account of the level country. II
motor cars can be used, 1t will mean
a great saving. Such cars can be
operated for Is cents a mile, we are
informed. At night feight trains
would be operated. The Newton
people have gone into this far enough
to practically assure themselves that
they can build the line for 25 miles
north of Newton. They want us to
help them work it up the rest of the
way"
