An INQUIRY.-We are not versed in legal lore
as well as we should be, and sometimes get an
idea that law is thus and so because it seems to
us reasonable and common sense that it should
be so. We now ask for information. They
have been holding liquor trials before Uncle
Chester Thomas, Police Judge of Topeka. They
have spent weeks at it, run up heavy expenses,
convicted several persons, and cleared others.
What we want to know is, where the Police
Court gets jurisdiction over whiskcy cases :
They are State cases, under State laws The Po-
lice Court was created to try offences against
the city ordinances. Topeka has no ordinances
under which TO try eases o. that class, but they
are tried strictly under the State temperance
law. If the Police Court has no Jurisdiction,
why do not those who are arrested kick against
the proceedings, and move for dismissal ?
Judge Webb has expended good deal of elo-
quence and legal learning in these cases. Here
is chance for another communication, after we
have published the one now on hand, in our
next issue.
