hundred dollars per year, then that
official could afford to devote his entire
time to the duties of the office.
So far as sending all the criminal cases
to the public judge is concerned, the
county attorney has the entire control
of the matter. No fees can be collected
by any justice or constable in a criminal
case unless the action is authorized to be
brought by the county attorney. II,
therefore, the county attorney desires to
save the taxpayers of the county from
the evil results of the present mode of
charging fees in criminal cases, he will
send every criminal complaint to the po-
lice Judge, as he has the legal right
to do.
do you suppose the taxpayers of
Shawnee county would not be anxious to
save over $1,000 per year in Justices and
constable's fees. when it can be done
legally? The actual sum paid to justices
and constables by Shawnee county in
1894, as costs in criminal cases only, was
$5,25615. OF this sum $2,845 Is was for
justices fees in criminal cases; the bal
ance being for constsbles' fees. Could
not the citizens of the city of Topeka
we'll afford to give their police judge a
salary of $1,000 per year if they could
thereby save to the city alone three
fourths of the sum paid to justices and
constables last year, for certainly three
fourths of all the justices and constables'
fees arising from criminal cases in Shaw
nee county were chare ed for in such
cases originating within the city limits
of Topeka.
"If the legislature had not intended
that some such plan as this might at
some time be necessary, why did it enact
a law giving the police judge jurisdic-
ton concurrent with justices of the peace
of all offenses arising in the county I'M
der the laws of the state? It seems to me
that this plan is feasible and that there
is no further legislation necessary to put
it in practical operation in every county
in Kansas having a city of the first class
within its boundaries
"By following this plan this coun-
ty would not only save upwards of
five thousand dollars each year, but
the office of police judge would be dig
nified by increased work as we'll as sal
airy, and its jurisdiction extended to the
bounds of the county, instead of the linn
its of the city.
by additional legislation comforting
civil jurisdiction to the police judge
there would be no need of an additional
judicial officer as proposed by some bills
now before the legislature"

AGAINST YANKEE METHODS
The Staid Germans Object to "Fire'' and
"Quit Business Sales.


"Quit Business Sales.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-THE bargain
sale" SO dear to the American woman
has been introduced into Germany with
results SO disastrous to conservative Ger
man business methods that the govern
ment has been appealed to to cure the
evil. A bill has been drawn for submis-
sion, first, to the federal council and then
to the reichstag, intended to check the
practice. United States Commercial
Agent Sterne at Bamberg has supplied
a copy of this bill TO the state depart
ment with extended comments upon the
conditions which have caused its prepa-
ration.
The proposed law ia directed first of all
against those instances in which the
managers of so-called bargain sales by
means of fraudulent advertisements eff
feet q sale of merchandise of indiffere Mt
value, thus supplying the demand of a
section or entire district for a consider
able period, during which of course, the
legitimate business houses have to suffer,
and the welfare of the whole commune
ty is injured. A number of the cham
bers of commerce have complained of
this unfair competition.
The action is very sweeping in its
ton is attempting to place business
offers in a particularly favorable light
by means of incorrect declarations re-
garding the nature of prices Of articles
of merchandise; the amount of stock on
hand or the cause of selling out, hinder
ing the business or credit of merchant
by incorrect statements as to his bust
ness. person or wares, using names of
firms or persons, or trade marks, or
signs as to lead to confusion, or infringe
upon another merchants trade. and the
betrayal of trade secrets by an employe
within two years after leaving his en-
ployer.
Mr.. Sterne says that owing to the great
difficulty that would be experienced in
constituting the application of this act in
Individual cases. it has already been Sc
verely criticised, and he expresses doubt
of its passage by the reichstag at least
this Vaar.

IF any change in the constitution is de-
sired it would seem to be the sensible
thing to do to submit it in the form of an
amendment to be voted upon next year.
Even if the pending resolution providing
for q constitutional convention should
pass, it will be six years before the con
vention can be held. We might not want
any convention by that time. The United
States has managed to get along more
than a century with their first consti
tuition, why cannot the people of Kansas
do az much?

THE strikers at Brooklyn appear to be
making it interesting for the companies
as far as possible in the courts. Judge
Gaynor has issued 8 writ of mandamus
compelling the companies to operate
their lines or show cause why they don't
do 80; the attorney general has begun a
suit to annul their charters on account of
violations of law, and President Norton
was before the police court yesterday on a
charge of violating she ten hour law. OF
course all these proceedings are meeting
with the customary delays incident to
anything with which the courts are in

The story from Topeka to the effect
that Governor Morrill, will enforce the
prohibitory law in spots over the state
and establish license system in other
spots is no doubt the product of fervid
Populist imagination. The constitutional
law OF Kansas establishes one system for
the entire state, and Governor Morrill,
has no power to change or modify it in
any way. It is true, of course, that the
liquor law, like any other law, Is better
observed in some places than in others.
but so far as Governor Morrill, is concern
ed, he will use what power is given him
to secure the best possible enforcement
of the law in every part of the state, as
he said he would do in his message. He
may not succeed as we'll in Leavenworth
as in Topeka, but that does not signify by
any means that he will pursue different
policies in the two places-Emporia Re-
publican.
It is to be hoped he will not. If the
governor finds that the saloons are being
run openly in Wichita, Leavenworth and
Atchison, no doubt he will remove the
police boards of those cities. Having
sworn to enforce the law, the people of
Kansas look to him to do it In the mean
time we are informed that no saloons
have been closed in Wichita, Lea7en-
wsrth and Atohison.

THE PILGRIMS AND PURITANs.

Last evening there was celebrated in Sc
attic as well as in many other places IN
the country the anniversary OF the land
ing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth. Fore
fathers day is one quite commonly cele-
brafed in whatever cline the descend
ants of the hardy New England colonists
have cast their lot 1t is in the nature OF a
tribute not only to the bravery and hero
ism OF the venturesome settlers who nrst
put foot on Massachusetts bleak ana
stormy coast, but also a respectful hon.
age to the virile qualities and character
istics to which the followers of the PHI
grim fathers owe so much for their strong
and rugged natures
There is much in the early history Of the
early New England Puritans 20 show that
they were IN some respects narrow. bisoted
and unworldly, but these faults were OF
head and not of heart. Their instincts
were good, their love of Justice and right
intense, their powers OF self-sacrifice for
honest beliefs unexampled. and their NOR
atty and ways of right living above Ques-
ton. The motives by which they were
actuated to seek cherries homes with
every sort Of privation, in the midst Of
savagery and inhospitable forests, stamp
those early New England pioneers as peo-
pie whose fibre and makeup was of the
sterling and enduring kind. They suf-
fered for no mean or mercenary causes,
and the resoluteness by which they bore
up for years under trials and misfortunes
which would have overwhelmed less hardy
and courageous people is evidence that
they had mental and physical attributes OF
no common kind.
The strength, vitality and wholesome
ness of the New England character can
be traced to the Puritans. For all that
the New England people have attained in
fame or fortune they should largely give
credit TO the splendid qualities inherited
from those who first settled in Massachu-
sets over two hundred and fifty years
ago. Although driven across an ocean be-
cause Of intolerance. they themselves at
first were not tolerant. and yet. for thrift,
honesty. courage, energy, good moral
character patriotism and other splendid
essentials that make good and upright citi-
zens the New England man, bred and
born, can give thanks to his early Puritan
ancestors.
New England blood has, with national
growth, been diffused throughout all the
land and the leaven introduced has invar-
iably added to the strength. reputation and
reliability OF the community with which
It has become identified. Wherever the
stout, rugged New England character has
asserted itself, there Will be found an
American life the fullest. the freest and
the sturdiest; there one Will see good
society, healthy public sentiment and a
progressive and enlightened people. The
men and women from New England. and,
for that matter. the entire country, may
well do honor to the Puritans. for to their
admirable qualities is due din no small
measure the strength and stability of the
nation and many OF the best characters
tics OF that nations people.
