gressive ticket says Prohibition
 does hurt business. It busted up
 many of our most prominent gam
 blets, paralyzed the beer gardens,
 and absolutely killed the bartenders'
 union. In fact, prohibition has killed about every industry in Kansas ex- cept the raising of wheat and corn
 and alfalfa and fruit and livestock
 and potatoes and peas and cabbages and garden sass and chickens and ducks and gees and horses and mules. Where once the thriving 1 business of the saloon sent the clam orous odor of it's prosperity out upon the sidewalk and clear across the street, we find nothing but shoe stores. clothing stores, dry goods stores, meat markets, grocery stores and other sordid activities of an un- happy people" That is the way prohibition ruins business.
 Mrs Stevens, many years national president of the w. c. T. U., and whose home was in Portland. Maine, not long ago gave some Illuminating facts concerning Maine. Before the enactment of the Maine Law Maine was one of the poorest states in the Union. It is now one of the richest. It is the only state in the Union that has more savings bank depositors than voters. One third Of the entire population of Maine, in Cluding women and children have d savings bank deposit, and not long ago it amounted to $146.14 per cap ita. Here again we see how prohi hition tends to bankruptcy. Mrs. Stevens tells how in license Boston , there a-e 426 arrests for every 10000 people. In prohibition Portland there are S4 arrests for every 10000 of population. In license Boston it costs $3 per capita to police the city. In prohibition Portland it costs 29 cents per capita to police the city. In license Boston it costs 29 cents per capita to support those in jail. In prohibition Portland it costs cents pe.' capita to do the same, That is the way prohibition tends to poverty. All that is needed to convince the intelligent American voters that economically the saloon is an arch enemy of our financial
 prosperity is a marshaling of the
 facts. Intelligence concerning the
 economic waste of the liquor traffic
 will start a battery of ballots such
 that no cunning or sophistry can
 save the saloon from it's deserving
 doom. Sober minded hard headed
 voters will sign the death warrant
 of this institution

OPEN FORUM F0R DEBATING
 STATE WIDE PROHIBITION

The very important issue of state wide prohibition has been raised. A campaign in favor of constitutional amendment will be shortly instituted. This, like all other important ques- tions has two sides, on each of which are found honest and intelligent per sons.
 The Republican has decided to pro- vide for a reasonable discussion of this issue in its pages, allowing to each side at least a half column daily for signed articles. for which there will be no charge. No anonymous article will be published.

TRIAL OF DICK TURPIN

Who has not heard of Richard
 Turpin. the highwayman, the Jesse
 James, of the English boy? The
 Prince of Highwaymen,' as he is
 called, has figured in thousands of stories, in which his character is shown to be spotless. He is generous, kind-hearted, and was in the habit of only stealing from the rich to give to the poor But in the following, the true character of this man is shown and his life. instead of being | made t. picture it, was most misei : able in it's ending.
 Turpin was born in Hampstead.
 Essex, the son of John Turpin, and put to school with a writing master, and later apprenticed to a butcher
 where he served his time. Even | when quite young he was frequently guilty of misdemeanors and often behaved in a disorderly manner. Tir- | ing of his life as an apprentice, he joined a notorious gang of snug glers and deer stealers who operated | in Essex. They soon had all the country terrorized, and they commit I ted many atrocities, but finally, all of the gang but Turpin, were arrest 1 ed in an inn, he making his escape | by diving through a window.
 | Finding the county of Essex toe hot, Turpin went further north and
 met his best friend" Tom King, q famous hghwayman, first making | his acquaintance by trying to hold him up, while King stopped TurpiI
 with the same intentions. Not long
 after, Turpin committed his first
 murder by shooting a man servant of a MT Thompson who tried to eff
 feet his capture.
 Turpin continued at this gentle oc-
 cupation for about three years when
 in a melee he, by mistake, shot King i After this, with large reward on
 his head, he travelled to Lincolnshire
 where he stopped under the name of
 Palmer the while posing as coun-
 try gentleman of means. He made 1 frequent trips to Yorkshire, where
 he [, was finally apprehended. Here also he posed as gentleman and
 upon every visit, he sold or eXchang- ed many thoroughbred horses. every one being a first-class animal.
 While staying in Borough Gave,
 Turpin was returning one day from shooting, which was at the begin
 ming of October, 173S, and seeing one of his landlords cocks in the road,

 It is suggested by The Republican that either side. desiring to avail it. self of this offer of space name a committee through which all matter relating to the issue shall be trans mitted. In such case, all communica- tions received at this office from other sources will be rejected. We believe that this arrangement Is ne- cessary to keep the discussion within reasonable lines.

IS THE SALOON AN ECONOMIC
 BENEFIT?

It has been well said that there is no better weapon in the struggle against evil than knowledge. The temperance reform depends upon our getting at the facts. This temper ance campaign is not to victimize persons, but to see the facts and then apply principle
 The saloon is at the bar of judg- ment, and when the people know the facts concerning this institution, we doubt not the decision that man. kind will render.
 The arguments fo- the punishment cf the saloon are legion, but we will briefly present but one: THE ECONOMIC.
 Concrete illustration concerning the economic argument for the elim ination of the saloon is vastly su- perior to theory. The writer com municated with Judge Pollock Of Fargo, North Dakota, asking him concerning the effect of state wide prohibition upon the taxes. His re- ply was: The tax rate shows a marked decrease from what it was when we had open saloons under the license system
 Major Edwards, editor of the Fargo Forum for many years, the leading newspaper of the state, says: The buildings made empty by the abol- ishment of the saloon have been turned into empo.iums of trade, a credit to the city and to the people. jennings in other directions, is a homelike city to live in, and 1 at tribute it largely to the fact that the prohibition law is enforced as nearly perfectly as it is possible for hu . manity to walk in d straight line am convinced that the prohibition law is stronger in this state today than ever before, and that it will grow in the hearts of our people as time rolls on.''
 When the saloons were banished from Kansas City, Kansas, people wondered where the money would come from to run the city. I heard Attorney General Trickett say that $25,00O were saved the first year in the criminal prosecutions, and that another s25.000 were saved in the reduced police force

STEERING GRAPHICALLY

QUEBEC, June tl.-Evidence in tended to corroborate some members of the crew of the liner Empress of Ireland that the ship was steering CT radically just before she was rammed by the collier Storstad, when she went down in the St. Lawrence on the morn ing of May 29 with loss of more than thousand lives, was presented before the Dominion commission Investigating the disaster.
 Members of the crew and the pilot of the collier Alden which passed the liner but few hours before she went down testified to the Empress zig-Zag- ging in her cOurse so that they had been forced to turn the Alden aside to avoid what they believed would have been a collision.

he shot and killed it, and for this little misdeed he was put into the house of correction. As he would give no account of himself, except that he came from Longsutton in Lincolnshire. he was held while d messenger was sent to that town to discover anything that he could about Turpins character.
 The messenger returned with the news that John Palmer mad lived there and that he was once arrested for sheep stealing, but had made his escape, and that also several of the best horses of the county had been stolen from the squires, and of this crime the same Palmer was sus- pected.
 Turpin was. upon this news. com mitted to the York Castle. After he had been there a month some gentlemen came from Lincolnshire and identified some horses as their property, among those which Palmer had tried to sell Four months later his true personality was discovered and although it could not be proved many people flocked to the castle to see Dick Turpin, the famous high wayman.
 On the twenty second of March, 1739 he was tried at York Assizes before Sir William Chapple on two indictments for horse stealing and upon evidence was soon committed. The charges of being the highway man, Dick Turpin. and of shooting the servant of MT Thompson, were then laid against him. Two wit nesses. James Smith and Edward Saward, who were both brought from Essex by order of the justices of that county were called upon as fol- lows:
 Smith deposed that he had known the prisoner since he was child, that he had married one of his fathers maids and that he, James Smith, had taught the prisoner for about nine months, in which time he learned from him the art of writing He also said that he had sold to him gray mare the last time he had seen him. which was about five years ago, and was positively sure that the prisoner. John Palmer, was none other than the famous Dick Turpin.
 Saward upon being called, deposed that he had known Dick Turpin and his father for twenty-five years. and that he was sure that the prisoner and Dick Turpin were the same. as since he was in York he had spoken %n and said once to him, Let us bung our eyes in drink" at wnlci, tney ac- cordingly "bunged for considerable time.
 At first the prisoner denied this, but seeing that it would do him no good, he owned up. He was then convicted of horse stealing and sen fenced to death. From the time of the sentence right up to the last min ute when he jumped off the scaffold, Turpin kept up his spirits, and, as old writing says. was as Jovial. as merry and as frolicksome as if he had been perfectly at liberty and as- sured of a hundred years of prosperi- l. ty to come" The day before his exc cution he bought new suit of clothes which he wore to his death, shared his money amongst tine men who were to follow his cart as mourners, and gave two pairs of shoes to a poor woman of the town. After his death he was carried and laid in his grave which was dug very deep. Curious as it may seem, even here he was not to rest in peace, for two days later his body was dug up by the anatomizers and carried away, but the mob, hearing of it. went and rescued the corpse and put it back
