ANNOUNCING srunRs.

Kansas has had and is still having agricultural de-

pie would like to have their difficulties solved and go
ahead again in the direction of old time prosperity. In
similar situations Kansas has turned to her strongest
They have lad to be dug out of a variety Of political
quagmires, but the digger has always turned up at the
proper time The Emporia Gazette has found the
Moses for the present occasion and thus rejoices:
HsThe announcement that Walter r. Stubs of Law
renee, former governor of Kansas, win run for COVER
nor IN the Republican primaries, may be expected soon.
It IL a refreshing piece of news. Stubs is a giant in
the race. BE brings to the situation the experience of
the governor who made the pioneer fight for the big
things and good things which gave Kansas leadership
zrnong the states of ehe nation. He comes out indie
pendent Of any faction or clique or crowd IN the Re
publican party. He has just gone through a terrible
business experience, in which as a cattleman he lost
an OF his fortune. His experience has taught him
much. Through no fault of his, but through the in
adequacy of the time to look after farming, he finds
himself now a poor man, but rich in wisdom. He
knows what should be done. And he has the capacity
the one best fitted for the work before the people of
Kansas. It is not a matter of penny pinching and
cheese pairing. It Is a matter of statesman-like con-
sideration Of the great economic burden which the
Kansas farmer is bearing.
'Stubbs is the man of the hour. The old Roman still
is a better man than the whole passed. of kids that are
opposing him. He win make a campaign that win

IF Ind HAD BEEN GRADUAL

Among reasonable and sensible views on prohibition
is that expressed by Mr.. Wesley Jones IN discussing
.politan newspapers. His idea is no doubt the correct
one and most of US believe it ut this stage of enforcing
prohibition Our hindsight in this case is better than
our foresight. But prohibition had been working for
her of years, and it is doubtful If anyone could have
been made to see any virtue in a po-stponement, for
any reason, at the time
Mr.. Jones delivers his view in this fashion:
when in September, 1917, the federal Law s-ent
into effect prohibiting the importation of foreign and
the production Of domestic liquors, there was a very
large supply in bond here. The Eighteenth amend
ment should not have became effective until after these
bonded liquors bSd been tax-paid, withdrawn and dis
tributed in the usual way. THAT would have taken
perhaps two or three years. The public mind would
have been gradually prepared for the final complete
exhaustion of domestic spirits fof beverage purposes.
Government would have collected an enormous sum
in taxes, and licensed dealers would have had an Up
portunity to hquidate in an orderly manner.
"roo much was attempted to be accomplished in SO
short a time. A period of at least Eve years, from
September, 1917, should have been allowed before con-
stitutiona1 prohibition went into effect. The time had
come for a change from the old days and the old ways.
Each year the ranks of the abstsiners were augmented
by thousands who saw the folly of indulgence and the
expect the lifelong habit of using alcoholic beverages
to be suddenly or completely suppressed in all sections
by federal or state laws
1.-THE advantages Of abstinence-not necessarily Of
prohibition-are everywhere apparent The deplor-
able conditions that some of your correspondents re-
fer to are also in evidence. There are always seine
weak ones, and these unfortunates in this generation
at least must suffer. The next generation, perhaps,
up by pouring spirits down. Incidentally two ounces
Of good whiskey in four ounces of water is n safer
and more wholesome drink than five or six glasses of
beer.
"a greater mistake than any that has yet been made
would be to sanction the production and sale of beer.
We would soon have a nation of puzzlc-heads."

TO BECOME GOSHEN FARMER.

The latest issue of the Torrington Telegram con-
tzins this item of news concerning a gentleman who
has lately come in for considerable publicity in Wyo-
ming:
"H- M. Lux, state organizer for the Nonpartisan
league, with headquarters at Cheyenne, has filed a
homestead contest against Johannes Honse, on a tract
of land in the Phillips community, some thirty miles
south Of Torrington- If Lux is successful he will be-
come a resident Of Goshen county.
@As Lux has been preaching on the woes and vicis-
STUDIES of the farmer, IN his endeavor TO further the
league in the state, II is bard to follow his line Of rea-
soning. Perhaps, if he becomes q citizen Of our coun-
ty, he viii eventually become a good Republican, like
a great majority Of those already living here"
Mr.. Lux simply must have both the money and the
land of the farmers. he is not content with taking
only their hard earned cash for membership in his dis
credited league. He ought to be a very popular fell
low among the agriculturists.
