Hands a Word
 To the Umpire

Dear Mir Editor: that Sundays game would be reported by a Fair Daughter of Thespis, assisted by your enthusiastic coterie of spherodal experts, I have hitherto refrained from submitting a gentle criticism of the umpring. as l did not wish to interject an inharmonious note into the diapason of graduation of the victorious heroes. Also, de- sired that my feelings attain a nor nal temperature before expressing again regnant: and to await the mo- ment when the flowing ink would seem less incarnadined.
 When I arrived in Phoenix a real estate man who has no land interests in the Hassayampa valley. informed me that the waters of that river have the peculiar power of distorting the mental and moral vision of whoever imbibes them, until he loses the faculty of the proper correlation of events, facts or ideas. The young gentleman who pronounced the ob- sequies of the Tempe warriors, is, am informed, a fine, outstanding cit izen, well liked by his contemporaries: so I can only infer that when he ap- breeze from some Eassayampian vale of iniquity must affect him as would some powerful potion-trans forming an erstwhile Dr. Jekyll into veritable MT.

Kansas has an assessed valuation of $2,S10, 961 092, Missouri has an assessed valuation of $1,765, ,476, 990. Kansas has a population of 1890, 949, Missouri has d population of 3,575, S62. This gives to the people of Kansas a per pita wealth of $1663, Missouri a per capita wealth of s493 Kansas has $50 in live stock per capita, Missouri has $133. Kansas has one man in the penitentiary to every 1886 of her popu- lation, Missouri has one to every 1,506 of her population. Kansas has but 22 per cent of her prisoners who are na tive, Missouri has 49 per cent of native prisoners. Kansas pays her school teachers an average wage of s75.07 per month, Missouri pays hers an average wage of $55.33. Kansas has death rate of 7.5 per thousand of her popula- ! tion, Missouri has death rate of 1S.2 per thousand. Kansas has but SIP pau pers, Missouri has 2,443.
 This showing is made in spite of the | fact that Missouri is an older state than Kansas and has had time to create 1 wealth. It is a richer state than 1 Kansas so far as natural wealth is concerned. It has more rainfall than | Kansas and has never had the numer- Ous afflictions of Kansas. It has three cities larger than any in Kansas and is nearer a profitable market. Missouri has an enrolment in her university and agricultural college of $500 while Kansas sends to the same schools ir her own borders a total of more thar 5000.

KANSAS AND PROHIBITION

Thirty-two years ago Kansas passed prohibitory law on the theory that half a loaf is better than no bread. It was as much of a success as any law the Kansas law did. It prohibited the manufacture and sale of alcoholic li- quors except for medical, mechanical and scientific purposes It allowed the importation unrestricted.
 The saloons and breweres and dis tilleries closed The drug stores sold liquor on prescription from disreput- able physicians. Blind pigs and holes in the wall secured supplies and backed by the liquor dealers made life bur den to those who wanted the law en- forced. There was no recall to hold over the heads of public officials. Five years ago her legislature walk ened up to the fact that the drug store must be put out of the liquor business. It passed a law prohibiting the use of liquor for medical purposes. There is now way to compel law enforcement and the law is enforced as thoroughly as any other law in the state It must not be understood that the prohibitory law was at any time fail | ure. It was always a success, but it was never so successful as now. While
 the law could be improved in many of i it's features, the worst omission is in | the failure to prohibit the importation of liquor. This hole in the law per- mits individuals to order it from out 1 side the state and as long as this is permitted there will be drinking and 1 selling to some extent.
 However, Kansas is the dryest state
 in the union. It pays only $1.25 per | capita for it's drinks, while the rest of the country pays nearly s30 per capita. 1 This saving pays for the education of
 the boys and girls of Kansas. keeping 25,000 of them in the colleges and uni
 versailles. over half a million of her

 Under prohibition the state has de- veloped. It has suffered from the af- | fliction of grasshoppers. It has had 1 drouth and hot winds and blizzards Il

 odds.
 In spite of all these draw backs

 in proportion to her population thai
 than any other state. She has nor,
 per capita wealth than any other state
 She has the lowest death rate of an, state All of these are directly due t,
 her sobriety. She has not wasted he substance in riotous living
 She has 96 counties without an in
 ebriate. Six of the nine remainin; counties are along the Missouri lin where the means of securing liquor ar at hand. She has 7S6 newspapers an : 9S per cent of them will not publish liquor advertisement More than hal , the jails in the state are empty Sixty , five counties have no inmate of tn penal institutions.

OPEN FORUM FUR 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 an 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 it's 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.
 It is only stipulated that the com nunications for and against prohibit

tion be just and fair and that in no case shall there be any wild and ex- travagant statement that will in any Phoenix for good order
 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.

arch set out to make "a tour of the countries to acquire such in the knowledge of arts and sciences that would up:ift and civilize the people of his own do- main. Before his departure he visit ed his son, who was on his sickbed. Swearing terrible oaths, the prince promised to retire to d monastery, there to lead better life, but when Peter was gone, seeing that he could TO longer keep up the pretense, he resolved to elOpe.
 Setting out as if his destination was Copenhagen, the prince, to throw possible pursuers off the track made for Vienna. Once there he put his destiny in the hands of his brother in-law, Emperor Charles VI. Peter, as soon as he heard of the elope- ment. sent his councillors, Roman off and Tolstoy to solicit the return of the profligate prince.
 On the fourteenth of February, the three arrived in Moscow where the prince was conducted to the pres ence of the czar minus his sword. He presented to his father paper containing confession and threw himself at his fathers feet begging for mercy. But for all his Oaths, the CZar could not now believe Alexis and so, seeing that after his death, the son might make jest of his paths of the remuneration of the throne, he ordered him to be tried
 His trial took place before the sen ate and states assembled. each of the judges desiring to suit his own purpose rather than that of justice The scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, the military and con- stitutional laws of the empire were all consulted and discussed in the passages that were read. The sen ate resolved that the ordinary judges should be brought in one by one and each should be heard on his decis- ion. When this was through the ministers did the same, and, although heard apart, they were nearly all of the unanimous decision that the pen atty that was deserved was death The prince on his part implicated
 
 when he had said that he wished his fathers death, James answered. !. God forgive you; we wish that event as much as you.
 The czar was merciless in the eX animation, showing all the crimes in the strongest light, that no one could say that they had been minimized The unfortunate prince entangIed himself in the suit and at last the fatal sentence was pronounced to | the effect that it was with an af- | flicted heart and eyes full of tears. that we servants and subjects, pro- ! nounce this sentence of the prince being guilty of having formed bare 1 design ,o kill their sovereign and to I Usurp the empire
 l The Czar ordered the sentence to be taken to Alexis. and there made him read it. The death sentence 1 together with the poison which is 1 said to have been administered, caus- ed the young man to fall into 8

Peace at Home

We who infest this favored land
should happy be, and doubly
grateful; we need not, at some
chiefs command, engage in war
fare, grim and hateful. No can
mons thunder Oh our shores, we
see no fierce, bloodthirsty faces,
but we can do our daily chores,
and not be shot in fifteen places.
No reckless soldiers fire our barns,
no tyrant DER the wreck rejoices,
and says he doesn't care three
darns, when we protest, with tear
wet voices. Oh, everywhere is
balmy peace, in this fair land, be-
loved of heaven, and man, who
uses elbow grease, may earn three
bucks, or maybe seven. Sleep has
for us its pristine charms; we go
to roost, our prayers once spoken !;
no danger here of night alarms ;
we wake at morn, our legs un-
broken. We feed old Dobbin in
his stall, we milk the COW and
herd the pullets; we are not
backed against a wall and then
shot full of rusty bullets. So let
us thank our divers gods, that we
may live our lives serenely, work
out Our plans, increase our wads,
and die IN bed, in manner cleanly.
