Whatever effect it may have on the
enforcement of the prohibitory Law,
Judge Hazen's position on ''spotter" evil
dence must commend itself to every self
respecting citizen. The evidence of a
man who will go into the business of in
ducing another to violate the law for the
purpose of reporting him and obtaining
fee is not worthy of belief and his evil
dence should not be taken in court.
Better an occasional violator of the law
should escape punishment than that such
class of individuals should be encour-
aged But there is no necessity for
either. There are officers of the law
elected or appointed and paid TO see that
the laws are respected and obeyed, and
if they can't do il. it would be better to
find others who can.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1895-10-05

THE advocates of the gold standard say
the owners of silver mines are the only
people who will be benefited by the res
toration of the white metal to its former
place in the currency. But there are a
few other people who might get some
thing out of it. Among these are the
builders of engines and hosting works,
drilling machinery and reduction works,
and those who live by such industries;
the miner and laborer who dig the ore
from the bowels of the earth; transport
ers of the ore, and all who take part in
handling it; the smelter and re6ner, and
their dependents; the powder works, the
mechanics in all branches, the producers
of mine supplies; the farmer and stock
man who produce the food for everybody
concerned; the textile manufacturers
who provide for clothing them; the mid
die men of the several classes who bring
p all these factors into harmonious action,
and even the banker, who advances
Money in all the different relations-for
a consideration.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1895-10-05

THE idea has been generally held for a
long time that the federal Offices have
been used for the purpose of perpetual
ing the administration in power. This
has been one of the strongest arguments
against the extension of government
control to the telegraph, railroad or any
other branch of the public service. That
this view is not warranted by experience
is shown in the fact that the last three
administrations with all the federal
patronage presumably at their backs,
have been whipped at the polls, and
there is every reason to believe that the
present one will meet the same fate.
Conventions may be controlled throug h
federal appointses, but the people vote
as they please. The Democrats would dc
well to remember this next year.
