Richland Reporter. R. E. SEWARD, Editor. PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY AT RICHLAND, KANSAS.

winked at this gigantic scheme and went it one better by placing on sugar a small tariff, as much as he dared without creating a popular remonstrance, and when McKinley stepped into of. fice he placed a high tariff on sugar, and the sugar trust has a bigger bonanza than ever. Entered at the postoffice at Richland as second-class matter. from his conscience wThen votes for a political party that will license and encourage the liquor manufacture and sale, and he diminishes his regard that much for his religion as well as shakes what confidence the outsider may have in the church. If all such men would use their influence together with their vote to destroy the liquor source they could probably accomplish it.

They would be much better thought of and respected as christians and it would help to strenghten the faith of his fellow members as well as the skeptics. They would come that much nearer living up to their religion, which the world is entitled to expect of them. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. One year, $1.00 Six months .50 Three months .25 Payable in Advance. If on are interested in downing trusts, don't let party prejudice get the upper hand of your good judgment, no matter what party you have leaned toward.

A man is a poor temperance man that will advocate the cause and when election day comes not vote for the party that he knows is directly advocating and working for the cause. A certain person graced our editorial sanctum by their presence Saturday morning and gave vent to their pent up reflex feelings, the result of a little five line article of facts. They have decided to boycot us by stopping their subscription when the time expires. To be plain, we care nothing about that; but hereafter the editor of the will run the paper according to his own ideas regardless of the dictations of any one, and our readers will get the benefit of something more than personals and locals. No subscriber need think because he or she has paid us a twenty-five cent subscription they will muzzle our pen.

When anyone becomes so prejudiced that they want to boycot us, boycot! We would gladly lose, such a person's patronage and good will(?) just to find them out. We must be respected! and who. ever is impertinent enough to overstep their bounds in matters concerning the Reporter will get their just deserts. There is a bull-dog in Richland that seems to be religiously inclined. We are not sure about the immortality of his soul, but he makes a distinction between the churches.

His spirit seems to be moved and he howls when one church bell rings, but not for the other. He prefers to go on the Methodist train. Were he to attend a revival meeting he probably would shout. We can't deny the efficacy of religion when it will move a dog as well as a The creamery officials came to this office last week and ordered a notice published as an advertisement, and we published it as such. A couple of parties seem to now "have it in" for the editor.

This is a sure indication that they were hit. "Cast stones among a lot of dogs and those hit will howl." The creamery board is right and has the sanction of all honest citizens in taking steps to avoid the imposition of having an inferior quality of milk putin-their cheese. The qualities of the cheese made from adulterated and pure milk are readily discernable and the sale of the Richland creamery's cheese wTould soon be greatly, injured. The creamery has done well by the farmer. It has paid them a higher price for butter fat than any other creamery in the state of Kansas, and it is not right that it should be sold milk other than which is pure and fresh.

Weakening the milk not only injures the creamery, but its patrons who bring it pure milk; yes, and injures the good reputation of the cheese maker. If all of the patrons practiced selling the creamery skimmed milk it would soon be compelled to quit business. Those who have been guilty of skimming milk have a serious matter before them to consider. It has always appeared singular to us, yet it is a fact that so many members of churches will vote to mantain parties and their congressmen and senators who will encourage the manufacture and sale of intoxicating. liquors when they know that many men are out of the churches on ac-count of their incessant appetite for liquors, and what an obstacle it is to the churches' progress.

Ah! how prejudice so often gets the best of one's judgment. To do away with liquor anyways successfully its source ought to be reached and do. stroyed. The church member who is a voter surely deviates When Harrison was president the duty was taken off of sugar 'for the benefit of the laboring classes" and a large bounty has been paid ever since to the manufacturers; but the large amount required to be produced kept out manufacturers with moderate means. They were discriminated against by not being paid bounty in proportion to the amount they could manufacture.
