A great deal is being said pro and
con on the prohibition question nowa-
days in tbe fair land of Oklahoma. The
most popular argument we hear in,
•Prohibition Does Not Prohibit, Look
at Kansas," and in every instance a
town or city j8 sighted where either
corrupt or incompetent officers have
failed to do their sworn duty, and, of
course, because of perjured officers,
Prohibition Does Not Prohibit" in said
towns. Since —'
how often have ^Juweil anQ
Kansas City, Kansas, as well as many
other town?, cited as examples of "Pro-
hibition Does Not Prohibit." But alas!
they cite these towm3 no more.
After many years of an unenforced
prohibition law, a Joseph Folk, in the
personnel of Assistant Attorney Gen-
eral C. W. Trickett, who regarded h s
oath of office as sacred, drove two hun-
dred joints out of Kansas City. Kansas,
compelling the property owners to give
a surety bond in the sum of $500 that
they would never permit liquor to be
sold on theii premises, while the saloon
keeper was required that be would never
■gain sell liquor in the cotinty. The
good citieena of Caldwell county, Kan-
sas, fought their way to victory by the
election of officers who would enforce
the law. w. S. Wilburn.

I heard of Caldwell and' ;Rppubli,,ao made its appearance y°*-
ansas, as well as many ter,*ay afternoon, and is owned and ed-
ited by Roy Benedict and A. W. Ral-
ston. Mr. Benedict has for years been
identified with newspaper work in this
city, whi'e Mr. Ralston has been editor
of the Mountain View Republican.
Both are clever gentlemen, good news-
peper men and should succeed. Thb
Democrat hopes so.
The plant of Mr. Ralston will be
moved to this city at once from our
neighboring city on the East. In tbe
meantime the Hobart Republican is tie-
ing issued from the office of TheChipf.
The newspaper business serms to
have taken on a new impetus in Ho-
bart tbe past week. It is now stated
that the fourth paper will soon make its
appearance and will be born in a Re-
publican atmosphere. It begins to look
like t Will be a case of the survival of
the fittest. In the meantime, The Dem-
ocrat will continue to sing the nraies
of Hobart, Kiowa county, and the good
people residing therein.

"PROHIBITION JOHN" CALLE.
AN APOLOUY.
Thw Democrat will not be in the
■abit or making apologies to its read-
y's, but it feels at this time, an expia-
tion should be made relative to the
ippearance of the daily the past few
lays. At limes it has been almost im-
>oss:bls to read certain portions of tue
per. This is caused by a climatic
mdition upon the press rollers. New
nes have been ordered and when they
rriV9, it is hoped to send The Demo-
UT out W8" P"cted front a nieheani-
U s aadpoint.
