should Billiard win it is not, and he
viii no doubt be the party nominee
then On a resubmission platform, and
then we will find where the state
stands. Our observation is that the
state is against a resubmission
proposition, although We believe this
county, Barton, will be for 1t. An
other observation we have made is
this: If men will vote as they act
1T is likely to be a close case, be-
cause we have seen many men take
a drink, when at the same time they
would be in favor Of the prohibitOry
law on general principles, Some
men desire to prohibit every one
from INDUCING in the cup that cheers
except themselves. At any rate,
the lines win be drawn now, and we
shall see what we shall see, and we
shall see once and for a long time
how the state stands on the ques
ton. That the pendulum may be
swinging away from prohibition in
the nation is our belief, and If that
infection has caught Kansas she may
swing.

THEY DON'T JleE.

At the Connecticut state fair
last week President Taft made a
speech strongly supporting the Arbi-
tration treaties signed between the
Unied States France and Great Bri-
tain, but which so far have been held
up in the senate. At the same time
former President Roosevelt in an edi-
torial IN the Outlook in equally strong
language, If not stronger, condemned
them. He described the treaty as
being merely tumble of words, says
is is worthless and fuu of hypocrisy,
and that they tend to sacrifice nation
al honor and right eousness. 1t has
been known for some time that the
Progressive wing of the Republican
party had been endeavoring to get
the former President to line up with
them as against the man he forced
on his party three years ago, the pres
ent president, but no intimation had
at any time been given as to what
he would do. This may be straw
to show the way the wind is veering.
At any rate the former president and
his protege are very far apart on
the treaty question.

THE ISSUE WILL BE MADE.

The announcement of Mayor ]. B.
Billiard Of Topeka as a candidate for
Governor on the Democratic ticket
on a resubmission platform, will
bring the prohibitory question to a
straight issue in the next campaign.
For years the Democrats Of Kansas
claimed that prohibition was a fail
uTe, and that the question should be
submitted to the people, which is the
only way It can be wiped out, as It
is a constitutional provision. The
strongest argument that was
brought in favor Of the law was that
the population of the state had I'M
dergme a great change and that
few of the many here in 1880 when
the amendment was voted on, were
here now. However, in the Demo
cratic state convention held in To-
peka in 1906 when Senator Harris
was named as the candidate, Senator
Hodges as the preliminary chairman
of that body came out against re-
submission, and in favor of the en-
fOrcement of all laws. This resulted
in a law enforcement plank going in
to the Democratic platform, and since
then it has stood that way. Sena-
tor Harris made his campaign on
the law enforcement issue, and al
though he lost by few votes, since
that time the law has been bet
ter enforced than before, and you
might say that the only genuine ef-
fort to enforce the prOhibitory law
dates from that campaign. Again
in Topeka in February following that
election Hodges, as the president of
the Democratic state club emphasiz-
ed the anti-resubmisSiou proposition.
Now then with BLIZZARD a candidate
on that issue. it Is more than likely
that Senator Hodges will be the can
didate in opposition to Billiard, and
we shall see whether or not, as
Hodges claims, that a great major
ity of the Democrats are in favor of
the prohibitoy law! No doubt but
what Mayor Billiard will draw a
great many independent votes, and
some Republican votes on his plat
form, as no Republican will be a can
didate on That issue. The last time
any Of them tried 1t was in 1890,
and they did not get very far. Should

ONE GOOD LAW.

When the Blue Sky law was be-
fore the legislature last winter Bank
Commissioner DoFey made the state
meut that its passage would save the
people of Kansas a million dollars q
year. There were others who argued
against the law from the standpoint
that every man ought to be sharp
enough not to be caught in a fake
scheme. We all know that the best
get caught however, occasionally, and
the fact that over three hundred con-
Germs have been prevented from sell
ing stock In Kansas. because their
schemes did not look good, and only
about thirty have been authorized to
sell because they could satisfy the
banking department as to their being
honest, goes to show that the pas
sage Of the law was a good thing.

WHAT MAY HAPPEN.

Unless Kansas selects it's delegates
10 the Republican national conven-
tSOn by the primary system. we are
apt to be treated to an unusual spec
tacle in the next campaign. Arthur
Capper, who no doubt win be the
candidate for governor, is a progress
sdve. but has not mixed much in the
delegate matter. Joe Dolley, state
bank commissioner, also chairman Of
uhe Republican state committee, is a
progressive, but has announced for
Tart. So with about all the other
progressives except Brisbow, who is
out fiat footed for La Toilette. A
convention to select delegates means
a Taft delegation. A primary would
undoubtedly mean a Taft delegation.
Anyone who has nosed around the
rank and file Of the party knows that.
If Taft is nominated, we will have
the unusual, no, not quite unusual,
but We win have the spectacle of
set Of progressive candidates for gov
euOr, senator, and other offices sup
porting Taft, a reactionary of the
reactionaries, for president. Then
what will happen. With Wilson the
candidate of the Democrats, the
Democrats win carry the state.

be held in 1912, / do so feeling that
the paramount issue will be the re-
submission of the prohibitory ques-
ton. Candidates and legislators have
for years lodged the question and
the voters of Kansas have been de-
MED the right to express their Senti-
ment at the polls. Thirty-one years
ago prohibition was adopted by a
majority of but 1898 of the votes
cast for and against the amendment
If the adoption of the amendment
had not contained a majority of all
votes cast for governor it would have
been defeated by 1853.
AT that time the prohibition wave
was at its crest and a thorough Or
ganizatiou of the forces barely car
ied the issue against which there
was no organized opposition.
81 shall make my. campaign on the
theory that Kansas is tired Of the
prohibition farce and from a platform
openly and strongly advocating a re-
submission of the question. l be-
heVe that a large per cent of the
voters Of Kansas are opposed to. the
present prohibitory laws and want
an opportunity to again vote on the
question and l want them to have a
chance to express themselves.
1T has been a long time since a
prohibition law was placed on our
stututes and many changes have oc-
cuTTed-the population of the state
has nearly doubled. There will be

plank in my platform.
If should be defeated as a result
mission candidate, the prohibition
cause would be strengthened and on
the other hand; if I am nominated
and elected, it will show that a ma
jofty should rule.
While l am opposed to prohibition
and in favor of resubmiSsion, if elect
ed Governor Of Kansas will enforce
the prohibition law just as l would
any other law and just the same as
l have been enforcing it since II
have been mayor of Topeka.
Il shall make my campaign as an
open advocate of reSubmission and
feel that with this as a platform I
will receive the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor. If nominated | |

voters will express their sentiments
at the polls in favor of resubmission

SCOUT ACTIVITIES ENCOURAGE,
BLIND BOYS.

The Boy Scout movement has help
ed the blind boys greatly. This fact
was made clear by Miss Susan BuckS
ingham Berwin, teacher in the Ken
lucky Institution for the Blind IN
Louisville, who recently called x
National Headquarters. She spoke
glowingly of the inspiration that the
Scout movement has given to the
blind boys. you have no idea,' she
said, chow blind boys have been en-
couraged since they took up scouting
1t has not only provided lots OF f0
for them, but 1t has proved an inspf>
ration. It was a new thing for
the blind boys to start on hikes and
to cook their meals in the woods.
Previously, because of their unforto>
nate condition they felt confined with,
IN the institution and they missed
the sense Of companionship with The
great outdoor world. But scouting
has opened a new life to them and
has brought them more in touch win
the outside world and has aneviatea
to a certain extent the discourage
ment Of their lack Of sight
While the blind boys have a salute
of their own in addition to touching
theit cap and giving the regular scout
salute they also use the Indian sala-
tation. The reason for this is, thai
the boys in greeting one another d
course cannot see the salute win
the hand and the Indian greeting
has been taken up by them.

hess, we have the spectacle presented
of a community torn to pieces caus-
ed by the wagging Of tongues in the
mouths of women whose time might
have been better employed. A young
school teacher, employed during the
summer months, rather attractive,
with pleasant smile for all, was en-
ticed, under the disguise of accom-
panging young man to a dance, to
a lonely spot in the country, where
she was bounced upon by a set of
ruffians composed Of men and BOYS
representing the best families in the
neighbOrhOod, because some gossiping
tongues had said something deroga-
tory to the young lady, whose char.
acter has been unblemished, and
whose home has been in the county
since her childhood. These goSsips
kept the stories going the rounds I'M
til they got the men, or the crea-
lures that should have been, excited,
and the drive to the country, where a
coat of tar was applied to the nude per
son of the young lady. This happen
ed some weeks ago, but it seems that
the wheels of justice have just be-
gun to move, and one young man, the
one who took her buggy riding. is
in Jail for twelve months, the strong
est he can get, some ten or fifteen
others are awaiting trial at the next
term of the district court. 1t is a
sad state of affairs and all due to COS
sip and nothing else.
The habit of censorious thinking
about Others says a we'll known
writer, may become a pernicious one
and it is altogether too common. OF
course If one prefers to do so, he
may find spots even on the sun, and

COMING TO 1T.

The Republican would IKE to make
a suggestion to the Board of County
Commissioners. and that is that they
publish the list of personal property
tax payers within the county together
with the amount they pay into the
county treasury each succeeding year
Several counties within the state are
doing 1t and we are told that it is hav.
Ing a wonderfully benign effect to-
wards smoking the tax dodgers out OF
the brush. One county official told
us that 1t had more than paid his
county for doing it. More people will
be wiTlfully dishonest in tax matters
than in any other one thing. Staffort
county evidently has its full quota of
tax dodgers and this method of pub
licity would surely help to uncover
them.-Stafford Republican
