The Way Law is Enforced.

The Kansas City, Kas, preachers have shown
that the cloth has not altogether gone over to
q condition of crankdom.
They passed q resolution at their Minister
ial Union last Monday commending the pres
ent State administration for its efforts to
enforce prohibition.-TOpekG Mail, Jan. 10.
There are forty men connected with the
police Department in Kansas City, Kas. Dur
ing the last eight months the department has
been self-supporting and converted q surplus
oflss4OOOOO into the City Treasury.-TOpska

Readers of the ADVOCATE will note
the fact that the expenses of these
forty policemen are paid out of a fund
created by monthly fines assessed
against the jOintkeepers of Kansas
City. This is In lieu of a license fee.
Yet the preachers of that city com.
mend the present administration for
its efforts to enforce prohibition.

overmyer Ridicules the Decision.

David OVermyer made as careful
study of the Snow. Hudson case as any
other person in the State, and for that
reason recent interview in regard to
the decision will be read with more than
usual interest.
To Kansas City Times reporter he
said:
"Msjor Hudson gets the Office by
arithmetic, not by law. He gets 1t by
the well known rule that two beats one,
but not by any proposition sustained
by the court in the case. The opinion
of the court may be stated thus;
"First-One who is lawfully State
Printer holds his office until his sue
cessor is elected and qualified.
"Second-SnoW was lawfully elected
and was lawfully State Printer, and
entitled to hold the Office until his sue
cessor was elected and qualified.
"Third-Hudson was never lawfully
elected, and, therefore, no successor to
Snow was elected and qualified, hence
Snow is entitled to the office, but two
of US prefer to give the office to Major
Hudson. Judgment will, therefore, be
rendered for the defendant.
Fourth-SnoW wins every point
necessary to hold the Office, but when
we come to vote on the question Of
judgment for the plaintiff or defen-
dsnt two of us can never consent that
the plaintiff shall have that Office.
"The glsring sbsurdity Of such de-
cision is apparent to the common mind.
1t is such decisions as this which make
anarchists. Enough such will breed q
great army In time"

commit. This Is no time to be playing
polltiCs--to be sparring for party ad-
vantage. 1t is the time to act. If we
are opposed to the issue Of bonds that
the President is about to make, let us
be honest and say so.
"The Democratic Senators should at
this hour put patriotism above party
instead Of wasting time in replying to
the Senator from Ohio Mr.. Shermsnl
as to who is responsible for the coun-
try being bankrupt. They should rise
to the duty of the hour and pass this
bill which have offered calling upon
the President Of the United States
and his Secretary Of the Treasury not
to issue more bonds without the con-
sent Of Congress. Every Senator
should vote for this resolution; we can
pass 1t in an hour, and we ought to
do it.
II say we cannot afford to discuss
other questions here for party sdVsn-
tage when we see In the morning
papers that the President is about to
issue 100000 of Understanding
bonds. We are informed that he will
wait q day or two to hear from Con-
gress. Let us not keep him waiting.
Let us give him our opinion and do it
unanimously. Let us tell him not to
issue any more bonds without the con-
sent of Congress. Let us call upon
him not to bankrupt this country with
debt. Let US repeal the Republican
law under which this Democratic Pres
ident Is about to commit another great
wrong upon the people. Let us call
upon him to preserve the credit of
this country by not plunging it deeper
In debt"
The Senator was again interrupted
as the hour for the consideration of
unfinished business had arrived. SEN
stor Peffer's Congressional funeral
bill was laid over without objection
and Senator Butler proceeded:
~ do not want to talk about funerals
to-day. 1 am trying to prevent fu-
neral. / am trying to keep the liberty
and prosperity of the people from be-
ing murdered. If this policy of con.
tracting the currency and piling up
debts in times Of peace is not stopped,
we will soon be forced to attend the
funeral Of our republican form of gov
ernment. If Congress will pass this
bill Ito prohibit the further issue Of
bonds without the consent of Congress)
then the President will be forced to re-
fer this whole matter to Congress.
"Mr. President, there are two things
which it is highly important for this
Congress to consider now, and which
In my judgment are more important
than the questions raised by the Sens.
ator from Ohio or any other questions
at this time: First, shall there be
more est-besring bonds issuedp ?
Second, If they are to be issued, how,
in what manner, and at what price ?
Congress is the sole power that should
decide these questions. The constitu-
tion delegated this power solely to Con.
gress, and we have no right or power,
in my opinion, to delegate it to another
branch Of government. In my opinion
Congress has not done so; but the Presi-
dent claims that he has the power
