'DRY'S'
GAIN ;
VOTES
BY Gibson Gardner

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 16.
Three prohibition votes were
added to the house of representa-
tiyes by the November elections.
Five congressional vacancies
were filled, three in New York
state. The prohibitionists made
an issue in the case of the New
York candidates and all three
pledged to the constitutional REM
edy against liquor.
In the election of William S.
Bennett, whose margin kas mar
row, his success was undoubtedly
due to the support of the Anti
Saloonleague. OF New York's
43 members, only three voted
last winter for submitting the
prohibition amendment.
These three will now be REIN
forced by three more and pos
sibly by others who have begun

Subsidies Won't Do,

Now the quesrion-why not
subsidies?
The answer is very simple.
The subsidy is fine thing pro-
vided we can be the only country
to give subsidies. Now that Eng
land, Germany and other coun-
tries are SO well intrenched, it
would take $10O,000,000 and a
generation of time for us to Sc
cure a footing by their methods.

A GREAT PROPOSAL.

Topeka and Shawnee county have
the opportunity of their lives in the
proposal of the Topeka fair manage
ment to establish a free gate in the
event that the people authorize the
county commissioners to levy a small
tax to provide fund to assist in pay
ing the fair premiums, or, to be more
explicit, the premiums exclusive of
those that are devoted to the horse
races. This tax is limited by the new
law, which makes it possible, to a
single quarter of a mill. This means
an assessment of only 25 cents on each
$1,000 of taxable property. But in the
aggregate it would raise something
over $4,000 for the purposes of the
fair. This would mean, in turn, that
the permanency of this institution
would be assured. 1t would tell all of
Kansas and the neighboring agricul-

The man or woman who fails to vote
merely because of don't caredness is an
undesirable incubus on the body polite
Such folk, too, are generally the ones
to wall the loudest over the election re-
suits, or any undesirable administra-
ton OF public affairs that may come as
a consequence. If nearly all of the
people would speak at every election,
there is little doubt but the public
business would be transacted in way
that would be entirely satisfactory to
a good majority of them. And this is
the aim of our system of government,
local, state and national. Under pres
ent conditions, due to the extreme
of General Apathy, there is
too much minority rule.

HIGH PRICES,

Speaking of high prices, which has
been next to the weather as a favorit e
topic for discussion in this country for
a long while, recent issue of the
Mexican Herald stated that since the
shortage of flour has been so acute in
the City of Mexico, there has been a
run on every kind of crackers, both of
local and imported brands. Soda
crackers are to be found in very few
stores, and sell at $40 for square
tin box, even for the local product.
The ten-cent boxes of sea foam or
saltines, for which housekeepers for
merly paid 60 cents and felt very
much abused, now are held at $2.50
in few stores that still have sup
ply. English sweet and fancy crack
ers and biscuits sell for from $40 to
$40 a box. These prices are presum-
ably in Mexican currency, but they are
exceedingly fancy even in good mon
ey, as the Mexican dollar is now quot
ed as being worth 3S cents in Ameri-
can coin, which happens to be the
best money in the world today.

tural commemorative that Topeka and
Shawnee county, through their own
enterprise, are able to maintain an
agricultural exposition that is superior
in every essential detail to the official
state fair at Hutchinson. The free gate
would be sure to draw crowds to To-
peka, the like of which have never
assembled in Kansas before to attend
a fair. There would be material re-
turns from these crowds far in ex-
cess of the trifling burden that such a
fair tax would impose. From the
purely business standpoint. the people
of Topeka and Shawnee county could
not make a better bargain. They
could not invest any of their public
funds to a larger advantage. And
there are mighty few persons in the
community whose fair tax would be
nearly as large as would be the cost of
fair admissions for himself and family.
With a free gate, he and his family
can go as often as they please. A fair,
with a free gate, is also the ideal fair.
Its entertainment and instruction are
open to all. Surely there is not the
slightest doubt how the people will
vote on this question when it is pre-
scented to them. as it will be soon.
