TIGER BILLS COURT.
Silk Blazers and Wool Sacks and q Sure
Cinch.

1t may be little bit discoura ging to
the defendants attorneys when they re-
fleet that the police judge is a creature
Of the prosecuting attorney, but it will
not only discourage them but make
them sick when the assistant attorney
general of the state goes off into room
to privately consult with the Judge. A
star chamber council is not in it with,a
court thus organized Nobody doubts
for moment that Tucker, like the COM
missioners, was appointed at the insti-
cation of Tiger Bill. What seems to
bother most people is how did T. Bill
secure his own appointment. His ap-
pointment came from Dawes. Dawes
lives in a town where T. Bills brother
John lives, who is a great factor in To-
cal politics. The brother had a pull on
Dawes. The claim that the community
asked for T. Bills appointment is nom
sense. 1t is doubted if he even had the
800 girls and boys Of the Y. N. c. A,
Epworth League and Christian Endeav-
orers whose petition was for Mr.. Low
rents, and the other fellow whose name
has slipped our memory. Tucker ought
TO provide himself with a Justices gown
Of black silk. A blazer of that charac-
ter would add dignity and solemnity 10
the appearance of the court and some
what relieve the strain given the sur
roundings by T. Bills lip. Having a
court constituted to suit themselves
they ought to make up jury from the
members of the Law and Order league
Any objection that its members are in
terested and therefore legally prejudic-
ed parties would cut no figure or have
weight a
1t will be different from what it was at
the other end of the street and not only
the defendant, but his attorneys and
the newspaper reporters are all liable to
land in the bastile addition to the city
building, a place of bolts and bars and
bread and water Dawes has been
heard from again. He declared no
later than Wednesday evening that he
would never let up on the town so long
as he was attorney general. When
asked about the result to the Republic
can ticket Dawes wanted to know what
difference it made to Morrilrs admins
tration whether the Republican ticket
of Sedgwick county went up or down.
What they wanted was the control of
the Kansas delegation to the national
convention next year, and they couldn't
set that except through the prohibition
"city buns" would fall in with the ma
jority. That is all settled. But from
whence is T. Bill drawing his rations? is
stull mooted question. He has not Sc
cured a single conviction yet, and if he
gets one before his own judge it will be
and if the apeal-bond is made
high there is the district
court which can lower it, But all this
does not answer the query who is put
ting up?" Bill Campbell is not the man
to fight day and night for simple glory
when there is no glory in it in this COM
for him. Still, and however,
the maneuvers of this court, whose
judge and prosecutor claim 10 be inn
PEELED TO duty only because Of the right, !
backed as they are by the churches,
will be noted with interest by the prop
erty holder who must go down in his
pocket for the expense or permit his
property to be sold for taxes TO pay |
them.
