.1. T. .M'.cusv.orth, a lawyer of Lin
coln, said:
"While attending tho U.iitcd States
circuit court for the tiisirict of Kan
as at Leavenworth for three or four
lays this week I learned considerable
regarding the enforcement or rather
non-enforcement of the prohibitory
liquor law of that state. Leavenworth
is now in the second year of her ex
perience under the commission form
of government, and the city appears
io ue prosperous, aim in me uianer
of public improvements is in appar
ently a better condition than at any
time during the last twenty-five years,
for which period I have been ac
quainted with its history. In the
matter of the enforcement of the
law against the sale of intoxicating
liquors, the condition is deplorable
and seems the more so possibly be
cause of the impression that the peo
ple elsewhere generally have that the
law Is being strictly enforced in that
state.
"Within two blocks of the business
center of the city I saw four 'joints,'
as such places are called In that state
where Intoxicating liquors were being
Bold without any attempt whatever at
concealment except that the room In
which such sales were being made
was In the rear of another room which
fronted on the street and which ap
parently was a cigar store.
"Tuesday of the present week was
the soldiers' pay day and the city in
the evening and night of that day, In
the vicinity of the 'joints' referred to,
was the scene of more drinking and
drunkenness than Leavenworth could
have rivalled In her palmiest of ante
bellum days. Between the houra of
5 o'clock on Tuesday evening and 3
o'clock on Wednesday morning the
'Joints' In question were filled with
men of all grades and descriptions
and a constant stream of them was
flowing In, and out of these places in
a fashion that resembled a bargain
sale. On Tuesday night before the
hour of 10 o'clock I saw not less than
twenty drunken men upon the Btreet,
some of them so drunk that they
could not avoid colliding with people
whom they met.
"During the forepart of the night
the police of the city attempted to
arrest a drunken soldier because of
some altercation between him and a
private citizen. About one hundred
soldiers from the regular army at
tempted to prevent it and did prevent
the arrest until a special call was
sent to the headquarters of the army
at Fort Leavenowrth and a detach
ment of armed soldiers came to the
city and put down the riot.
"I was Informed by one who knew
whereof he spake that no less than
two hundred 'Joints' were being op
erated In the city of Leavenworth,
and there Is absolutely no attempt
whatever to prevent tho Illegal sale
of Intoxicating liquors. To say that
the 'lid is on tight' In Leavenworth
is an untruth.
"I am a prohibition republican and
believe that Kansas has ideal law
upon the subject of Intoxicating
liquors, but I do not approve of mis
representing the facts relative to Its
enforcement simply to relieve public
officers who fail to do their duty from
the censure which they deserve.'
The North Dakota Farce.
Hon. D. R. Stroeter, editor of the
Emmons County, North Dakota, Rec
ord, published at Linton, writes:
"The manifold evils of the prohibi
tion law In this state are on the In
crease rather than the decrease. Mind
pigs exist In most parts of the state
and no sooner is one of these
squelched than another reckless per
son steps in to take Its place. The
drug stores are doing a flourishing
business and there are probably a
third more In the state than there
Is a legitimate demand for."
North Dakota Blind Plgi.
The Grand Forks correspondent of
the Fargo Forum Informs us, says
the Bismarck Palladium, that there
are at the present time 1,791 blind
pigs in North Dakota assuming
doubtless that the possession of a
government tax receipt for the retail
sale of intoxicating liquor Is prima
facie evidence that such liquor Is be
ing sold, Is correct. Manufacturers
carry on a cash business with their
North Dakota customers and there U
no complaint heard from these out
side houses that there is any falling
off In their trade. On the contrary,
North Dakota accounts are the very
best that many a Minnesota and Illin
ois wholesale house has on his books.
And so the farce goes merrily on and
Is made the medium for personal and
political exploitation by cowardly
politicians, who are often themselves
hopeless victims of the drink habit,
and who care nothing about the moral
aspect of the question, so that they
can continue themselves in the lime
light of personal notoriety.

WMWWWMII Ul IIUII I
(Omaha Dally News, November 14.)
County option will not be written
'nto the platform of the Nebraska
lemocracy next year, regardless of
the position of W. J. Bryan, If Gover-
lor Shallenberger can prevent It
"County option means prohibition."
leclared the governor on his arrival
In Omaha this morning, "and Mr.
Bryan is illogical in hla statements
;hat he is a county optlonlst. but not
a prohibitionist
"Mr. Bryan has intimated in numer
ous conferences that he is an optiou
"st, but not a prohibitionist, but the
very principle of county option is pro
hibition. "The liquor problem will be one of
'.he main Issues of the campaign,"
said the governor, "and I do not deem
It advisable for the democratic party
to adopt a county option plank.
"The liquor laws, with the daylight
saloon act passed by a democratic
legislature, are being more rigidly en
forced than ever before and I believe
that a rigid enforcement of liquor
statutes Is to be preferred to county
option.
"It Is too early to draft a platform
and I believe that we should wait un
til the situation develops."
Attitude of Democratic Press.
(Columbus Telegram.)
The Telegram prefers the method
af law rather than the method of
the bootleg. And when we say we
prefer the method of the law It la
vlth the understanding that all laws
governing the sale of liquor shall be
tniorcea to the letter.
We favor obedience to the law for
two reasons:
1. Because it Is right.
2. Because only by strict enforce
ment of the present Nebraska liquor
Jaws can Nebraska escape prohibition.
We are glad to be able now to
state that this Is the view of the
great majority of the country demo,
cratlc press in Nebraska and Tho
Telegram always feels safe when
traveling the path which the major
ity of the democratic editors are
pointing out as the right path. ,
Bishop Scannell's Admonition.

the women to eschew politics. H6
criticised the activities of the woman
temperance crusaders. On this point
he said:
"Instead of these women striving
for total abstinence they should be
working In the cause of temperance,"
said Bishop Scannell. "Men have a
practical Judgment in this matter and
do not look for the ideally perfect
Therefore, I see no advantage to be
derived from the women being ad

The prohibitory brethren should

Effects of No-License Booze.
(Worcester Post.)
' "It is easy enough for me to see
the effects of no-license," said a drug
gist to Saunterer this morning. "Ev
ery morning there is a line of men
at my soda fountain waiting for thelt
bromo, a drink that is supposed to
take down the head of the morning
after, and they come In here In an
awful condition. Their hands some
times shake so that they can't lift the
bromo to their mouth without using
both, hands. This no-license booze is
certainly the stuff that kills. And
the most pitiful thing about It Is the
number of young fellows that hav,
gone to the bad this year. I don't
believe there were ever so many be
fore. They come in here every morn
ing with their faces pale and their
hands shaking, after some drug that
will straightened them out It cer
tainly Is a shame." With that he
turned to the soda fountain to mix
a bromo for a man waiting there.
Thirty-Four Murders.
Discussing the subject of crime In
prohibition states, the Chicago Record-Herald,
in an editorial, makes this
statement: "In Jefferson county, Ala
bama, the county, that includes Birnv
ingham, there were thirty-four mur
ders in the first twenty days of
April." '
Cannot Understand.
(Alma Record.)
Considerable agitation is heard re
garding one of the two big political
parties adopting the county option
plank, but the writer fails to under
stand Just why either the republican
or democrat party should wish to
steal the prohibition party's thunder.
J. W. Larkin Speaks oil "What
Are You Worth" to Young
Men at Methodist Church
The regular winter course of lec
tures In the young Men's Bible class
of the Methodist church opened last
evening with an address or rather an.
informal talk to the members of the
class, an address which was highly
appreciated. Few people know that
Mr. Larkin was formerly a Congre
gational minister but such Is the case,
and his address last evening was the
result of many years observation.
That it was a most pleasant affair la
certalnond the members of the class
unite In expressing the hope that the
remainder of the course will be as
good as the initial number.
These lecture courses or talks as
they are called, are a regular feature
of the Methodist Bible class and they
are something well worth listening
to. It is only a brief time back when
the class was organized and it leaped
into popular favor at once. The talks
are upon sound methods of living and
merit the closest attention as they
are full to the bVim of good ideas.
Mr. Larkin, who has been engaged
In business in this city for only a )
short time, and really was much of a
stranger to the assemblage, delivered
a most excellent talk. His address
was purely Informal but it had the
attribute of being delivered in a forci
ble manner which impressed itself
upon his hearerB and clearly demon
strated that the speaker was a good
thinker and had the highest of ideals.
Taking for his topic the 'subject,
"What Are You Worth," Mr. Larkin
plunged into the theme and pointed
out to his auditors that wealth does
not in the slightest make a man.
Character, he said, was the fountain
of actual life. Without character a
man would live and pass away and
leave no trace of his being behind.
The Interpretation of Christ "being
and doing," as constituting life was
well exemplified in Mr. Larkin'B talk.
He spoke of the four essentials to
human life work, pleasure, growth '
and religion. Of the former he said i
that work was the absolute necessity I
for the true man. the second featureV t
pleasure, followed as a necessary ad
junct and with these two came
growth. Growth was the development
of man but growth without the final
step, religion, was as naught. Ia
the latter the highest development
of the man was exemplified. It was
the expression of God reaching out
through man and penetrating to the
human soul. The address in Its en
tirety was highly appreciated by all
present and stamps Mr. Larkin as
one of the class best speakers. In
auuiuun io ine aaaress mere was o
nost excellent musical Droaram wnic
was well worth listening to and
great apple feed closed what was one
of the most auspicious openings the
class has had in years.
The next number on the program
includes an address by Rev W. L.
Austin on next Monday night when
he wil lspeak on "Wit and Humor"
Those who know Rev. Austin will ap
preciate the fact that this will be well
worth listening to as he Is a man
with a fine sense of humor and is
capable of furnishing a most Interest
ing evening for all who attend. Next
Monday night promises to be one of
the best occasions the class has had
yet and a large attendance is pre
dicted. Wedding at Louisville.
