" WHAT GOOD Is THE LAW9"

The Peoples Herald, Of GlenwOod
Springs, Colo, says that a free bar
room" was open in that place on
election day where drink was dis
pensed in the interest of candidates.
The Herald very truly observes:
When a candidate for an Office of honor
and trust viii throw his private Office open
for the dispensation Of free whisky and
cigars as stemptation to weak and depraved
men and as a deCoy TO draw them on to sell
their votes for few miserable cents, there
is hardly anything in the calendar Of crime
that he would not be guilty Of.
This Is the legitimate work of the
saloon at election time, and as long, as
the people permit the saloon to exist,
they should not complain because it
fulflls its mission. Not the saloon,
but the people themselves are respon-
sible for these things.
The Herald further says:
The law says saloons shall be closed on
election day.
Very true, but what does law
amount to When not only voters but
state and national legislatures and
courts can be bought with whisky
and with money obtained by the sale
of the stuff? When the people take
the whole business of the msnufac-
ture and sale of it out of private
hands and thus dlsorgsnlze the force
that controls the business to corrupt
voters, legislatures and courts, they
will take the longest step toward the
purifcatiOn of politics that it Is posi-
BILE to take at the present time.

EXTRA SESSION TALK.

There is considerable talk about an
extra session of the Kansas legisls-
ture for the purpose of ensctlng a
law relating to railroads and freight
rates. While we recognize the great
Importance of the right kind of rail-
road Legislation to the people of Kan
sas, we have not one particle of faith
that any law could be passed by the
railroad house of representatives that
would not be more advantageous to
the roads than the law as 1t now is,
and hence we are opposed to the re-
convening of this body. If any action
in relation to railroad matters is con-
templated that may be hoped to be of
any benefit to the people, we suggest
that instead of monkering with Geo.
T. Anthony and w. M. Michel in a
corporation court, that steps be taken
to have them pitched into the street
and the legally elected commission
ers installed in their Offices The
hearing in these cases has again been
postponed, and if there is no other
method of evasion of the plain pro-
visions of the law there is no reason
to doubt that this method of post
ponement will be continued indef-
nitely. How long will the state
administration submit to be bulldozed
in this manner by two republican an
archists? If there was any ambiguity
about the law or any doubt whatever
as to it's unmistaksble meaning the
case would be different but there is
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-04-19

not republican newspaper in the
state that has the sudacity to claim
that Anthony and Michel have any
legal justification for their defiance of
the legally constituted authorities of
the state. They are SIMPLY holding
these places in order to prevent any
thing from being done under the law
as it now exists that might be of bene-
fit to the people, and they are sus-
tanned in their defiance Of law by the
dilstory tactics Of Judges Horton and
Johnston. Yet republicans talk about
anarchy! Let us have no extra $685.

road commissioners that is not in the
