The defense of the plan of reorganisa

Charles S Oleod to the Hoild Itecoul for
Mnv is a masterl.v statement of the sit

reader with un assurance that the w tit
er has not only a full nnd riady com
mand of the facts conceinlng his sub

powers Mr sound rciiFonlng as well.
Passing over nny question as to over
consttuctlon, for that has nothing what
evei to do with the ptoblem with which
the committee or the stnckliohb is them
selves now lrive to deal, nnbudy will
question the lensons given, bv Mr. Oleed
foi the collapse of the compiny on the
sotting In of the business and financial
panic which swept over the mutiny
two years ago. I'ncnlled for and un
reasonable inmpetltloii nmldt such de
piesslon could have had no oilier elfrcl;
and nt the ,imc time, the loss of tialllc
from climatic mlsfoitums to n thousand
miles of its tcriltui nnde It useless
to hope for the letllrn of cundlllons that
would win rant saving action by the
tockhobleis.
Ml. Oleed does not claim that there Is
muih hope for the owners of stock In
the proposition now presented. They
have nothing whatever of promise In
sight except as the may elect to com
ply with the terms of settlement sug
gested. If they elect to do that they
may continue to be stockholder, and
with the prospect that sometime In the
futuie their holdings may be of some
market Milue 1 tut. tho settlement sug
gestid at least .issuies the gie.it
system against any repetition ot its
piesent embati.issment In the ne.n
future, nnd will. It can led out, reinstate
the company In the confidence of the
public to nn extent that cannot fall to
bo beneliclal to all the Inuiests of the
road and to those of the countiy
through which II passes.
With tho multitude of conlllctlng In
tel cms to satisfy It may well be re
garded as doubtful If a better plan of
tcorganizatlon could be chosen.

It's a big thing to be able to cover the

with the gorgeous gatlands of soulful
metnphois and It's not every one who
can do It. It's a great faculty to pos
sess to be able to See In the piosaic le
vlv.il of business, the inciease of week

tuies, something exquisitely beautiful,
to bo nbln to see In a mere mutter of

resignations under lire are tantamount
to confession of the truth uf the charges

on condition that all furthni investiga

for a moment to such a cmditlon, and
it U not clear that it should "do so in

the fact that the accused oil clrtls nre

There U a chance for n display of

n question of taw which I to lie de

The legislature should adjourn when It
has accomplished the woik for which It
was called together nnd not till then.
It should not quit a dny befoic it has

It should not remain Hi session a d.ij

ple nn honest elections bill It has more
than "paid Its board" and the people
will not complain ul the bill. Hut there
lire a few more "chotes" It ought
to do before It leave0. The peo
ple expect it to pass nn equitable
fellow servant bill and it the bennte does
not succeed In Its evasive tactics this
will be done. The house has foiced the
passage of tho elections bill nnd It has
tho.power to force tho senate to show Its
hand on the question of a fellow scrvnnt

When It comes to the enactment ot leg

nnd thnt clrtaln political pledges had been

of sev ernl Kansas eltle in their nefarious
pursuits CerUiin ministerial nsfoditlons
over the stnte have adopted resolutions
condemning Governor Morrill for not better

or iriore preachers hive preiched sermons

All of these preachers have gathered their

To-dny Governor Morrill was seen by a
reporter of the Journal and very fMclv
talked over his atlttudo tijion tho prohibi
tion eitiestlon, ns follows:
"I am much amazed at the utterances of
these ministers who nre nssalllng the pres.
ent administration for not enforcing the
prohlbllor) law. They have gathered to
gether certain statements which I am al
leged lo have uttered and they took them
from hostile newspipcrs They nscrlbe to
me certain things which I have never said
at nil, nnd woefully misinterpret such
things ns I hnve said. Hy these men who
should, hold truth sac red and to whom wo
look for a. doctrine of fairness, justice
and mercy, It has even been assorted thnt
this administration was In league with tho
liquor men and that It was the deliberate '
Intention of myself lo collude with cvnd
crs of the liquor law. I am mule to say
that tho prohibitory law cannot be en
feu ccd In communities where the senti
ment Is not pr.ictlcilly unanimous for Its
enforcement, and that It Is uev natt of the
dut) of the chief executive to aid In Its
enforcement.
"Tile sole nnd onlv foundation for this
perversion of my views on the liquor ques
tion mnv bo found In a statement which I
mndi! In a general wnv when the prohib
itory law was not under discussion nt nil
1 said that the effectiveness of nn) law
depended upon n favorable sentiment In
the community In which It was attempted
to enforce It, nnd this proposition Is ns
old nb the book of Job nnd ns Immutable
as the ele cues of Providence. I have nevei
said that the prohibitory law- could not be
enforced In any community, but 1 have,
freely stated th" fact that It was not
enforced and attributed this fact to the
further fact that the people did not seek
to enforce It. Police commissioners are not.
the only element required In tho enforce
ment of the prohibitory law. Honest Jurors,
truthful witnesses and upright Judges are
more essential, and, until a community
rises to the ncqulicment of these no law
is certain of Its enforcement In the frank
statement of these unalterable truths lies
the height and front ot in) offending. In
the state of Kansas there- ate ninety -nine
counties which have no police conunis
sloneis. If there Is a failure of the pro
hibitory law In any of these counties, It
is because of tho lack ot honest public
sentiment or the inactivity ot tho moral
ists. "1 nm In favor of enforcing tho prohib
itory law, and at this time, .us In ull times
lust, I am remlr to lend the full power of
the state of Kansas to the enforcement of
that and every other 1 ivv These picucheia
who are sei valiantly denouncing the stnte
administration have never been near me
with any complaint of the non-enforcement
of the prohibitory liw. None of these
gentlemen has sought me out with coun
sel, suggestion or gilevance, nnd, so far as
I have any oillclnl Information, they weio
content with my appointments
"When delegations of citizens came to
me from Kansas Cllv, Topeka and Port
Scott nnd presented the names of certain
citizens whom the) wanted for police com
missioners because they would mike a
special!) of enforcing the prohibition law
I promptly appointed them In the ap
pointment of police commissioners at Atch
ison, Leavenworth and Wichita I pursued
the same pollc) and named the men who
pnctlml!) had received the unanimous In
dorsement of their fellow cltlens In tho
last named cities, except Wichita, the
question of prohibition was no more raised
than vvas the eitiestlon of horse stealing
I do not know the vv hereabouts of the rev
erent! gentlemen who have suddenlv be
come so alert in enforcing the prohibitory
law, but thev- certain!) did not come near
mt with cither complaint, counsel or re
quest The pulpit orators have harangued
me at a distance, but so far as I have been
able tn discern thilr temperance efforts
have there ceased
"It set ms preposterous thnt a Kansas
olllclal should be er.lied upon to sav that
he Is favor of the enforcement of Kansas
law. So long ns the hostile newspapers
cho-e to misrepresent my attitude upon
the liquor question I chose to bear It but
when the ministers of tl . ciosprl seut(i
