Il liirthei says a complete stagnation of Iiukim'x hus over ciiiue the city, nhliii lias oeen dune by the live hundred gie shop in opernlitu within lis limits iiinlwiiiiU up with "nothiiig but pioliibuiuii can save It finin financial ruin." Does the Capital ever think of the tbousuiiils of dollars that goes out of Kansas every mouth right to Kansas City und in return, tho most vile sliifl called whisky and beer is sent to alleviate the thirst of the prohibition Kansas citizens. Talk abou', a city like Kansas City being on the eve of financial mm. will venture tho assertion there is many empty homes mid as many idle men in Topeka to-day according to the of the two citiei astbt-ro is iu Kansas City. We have no love for ttie Saloons and grogshops, but the Capital is trying to make "capital" through a prejudice again Kansas City- and lakes Hie cheap side of prohibition to do IL Times may be hard in Kansas City. There may be hundreds of laborers out of employment.

But show us a city, town or hamlet in our vreat prohibi tion State of Kansas ivliere tin same as is laid at the door of Kansas City (ex cept saloons) Is not predominant. If there is no licensed saloon iu Kausa) there is not a village ol'oiie-huudred in habitants to a city of tweuty-flve-lhou sand or more ot what has a "joint" or a "boot-leg" in operation for the same amount of inhabitants pro rata, to any town or city in Missouri or any other State not having prohibition. It is just as well to come out and tell the truth about those things, as to preach prohibition and know at the same time it does not prohibit. Until does worse, it causes men to lie, perjure and even steal to procure the article that is claimed by two-thirds of the Kauia? papers, is prohibited from being sold here. We ask the question, if the business of Kansas City is ruined by the grog shops? Where in th name of God would the businessof the majority of Kansas towns be, if grog shops were allowed to run open here.

The argument of the Capital is very thin in many instances ami art we are as much opposed to grog shops as any one, we like to see people give both BiJes of tho question which is nothing but fair. A newspaper that will preach prohibition when they know that within a stone' throw of their oflice intoxicants can be had, is doing nothing better than up holding the element that carries on the illegal traffic. If the newspapers in Kansas that have so much to Ray in regard to prohibition prohibiting, would come out and liuht the "joint" and hoot leg" as linn! as they work I impress the idea, there woulJ not be hall' Ihv jniiiU and hoot-leg establishments in Kansas as there is. There is too much of this covering up of the evils which is contrary to law by Kansas new. -papers.

A large number of Aspirants to the different county officers in this county, have come out and announced themselves as willing to obey the dictates of the convention this fall.

The Free Press is a good paper to announce in, as in the next four weeks if, will be read by over two thousand voti of Cowley county, and they are the ones who are anxious to know who are in the field. Send in your little gentlemen and announce in a paperthat is generally read by the farming class. The Capital's expose of the moral and financial condition of Kansas City will hardly succeed in inducing a very large emigiation from Kansas City to the Kansas capital. The public know full well that Kansas City has Uh uied for years on tho tribute paid hex by the Kansas liquor And there may be empty housrt In that ctfyliiid many crimes commited, we doubt if either are in greater proportion than in Topeka. To make out that Kansas City is pining for prohibition is ridiculous.

There seems to be an intense feeling which Is being largely agilatetl by the American people again what might be termed, "land monopoly," This feeling is. when looked at with an unprejudiced eye, a just one. It would be far better lor the fanning population of any state to have the land in tracts where it could be farmed to a profitable advantage.

While one man has 40 acres and by judicious labor lie makes a respectable living, another man has 4,000 acres and iu nine cases out of ten this man is the poorest of the two. On tho other hand there is many other men who are able to buy a small tract of land which would enable them to sup-their families, but are not able to purchase largely and are compelled to work and give others a large per cent of tht value of their labor. There is one peculiarity in farming, that there is only certain lines that can ho conducted successfully. That one feat lire is ranching, which in the near future will be a tiling of the past. Those large farms ill he sooner or later of a necessity he divided up into smaller Iraels to make them profitable.

As the conn-try grows older and manufactories in-civase. fanning will take a change in many respects anil the small industrits wlil bo the ones 11. nt will be the most profitable. Kvery thing points now to Hie side of small fauns and f.uui illi profit that hich is done. ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

Kansas is looming up to the front this year in the way of building sugar mills. farmers and those who are' investing their money in tin? sugar business have lost all hope of ever celling sight of the pure Orlean sugar again. Or if they do they expect to pay twice what tho sugar is worth for the privalegetf seeing it. Kansas can just as ell raise all the sugar she consumes eacii year and have one-million dollars worth to sell as not. With afewfirst class sugar mills and rafineries, Kansas will have no call to use foreign sugar.

They are not at the present time under any obligations to other states for their salt and why uot, when it is iu their power, be independent on the sugar question. G.P. Physician, Surgeon, AND AOOOUCITBUH, Dextku, Kansas. Jamks McDkhmutt. Ai.hkut P.
