It seems to be about time that a crusade with a hatchet as a weapon of attack was waged by the temperance leaders of the town. A ’still” hunt would no doubt reveal sev- eral persons interested in dis pensing the stuff—such is the effect of a bad example one or two having had the reputation for handling such traffic since the early days. In regard to rumor we are in clined to be skeptical as to the so general breaking of the law. There are a good many who no doubt are unjustly suspected. There are others who always will be suspected, no matter what the evidence to the contrary, Thus . it is evident, as in all such ir-| regularities, a few had men be- smirch the entire town. 9 New vide* nrv adopting the tlalvea- ton or th»* Molnea plan of governuteut every day At this writing 133 have It In force.

A good many question able things need attention. We were informed the other evening that there are too many big mouthed boys on the streets in the evening. It is customary for boys and men to say things at night that they would not say out loud in day light We heard a lot of blackguard talk last eve ning. uttered without the sem blance of excuse, just to be smart. Here is something for the constable to look after. Blackguarding talk is at all times inexcusable. It constitutes a breach of the peace when re sorted to for ordinary swell head ed usage. The fellow that black guards because he thinks it is smart is just about as low as the Lord lets live. We think per haps there is just one fellow EXPERIENCE OF KANSAS CITY worse and that fellow is repre ORE than passing notice is sented, so they say. right here i Commission System Wipes Out City due the girls of the Queen Debt In Nin.
