MINISTER'S WISHMORELAW
Would Compel People to Attend
Church or Stay at Home.

The Ministerial union of Topeka met
today at the Y. M. G. A. rooms and de-
cided that the Sunday theater must go.
There were 13 ministers present at the
meeting. President NJ. L. Thomas was
in the chair.
subject before the meeting in the fol-
lowing words: There was a commit
tee appointed by our church to see
what could be done about the Sunday
theater in Topeka. The committee re-
ported yesterday that the city Ordi
nance is not sufficiently specified. We
have a statute which covers the case,
however, and it will be easy to frame
an ordinance. The police commission
erS refuse to proceed against them I'M
less warrant is issued for their arrest.
If we let the Sunday theater open in
Topeka it will lead to something worse.
The committee recommended an
ordinance to cover Sunday base ball
games, theaters and other entertain
mentS where an admission is charged
Rev. M F. McKirahan:-A few years
ago Crawford tried to have a Sunday
theater. 1 introduced a resolution be-
fore my congregation condemnatory OF
it, and the papers published it. The re-
suit was that it was stopped. These
people make a strong plea that there
are lots of people who do not attend
church in Topeka, and that they might
as well be allowed to attend a theater-
Rev. Pickney Price, think this I'M
ion should take some action to ask our
congregations to vote on this question.
tack this scrub who was here a short
time ago and had that woman hypno-
tized in the store window, and you've
got to use a club. y mere resolution
wouldn't effect him. These are the peo-
pie we have to deal with now. You know
this thing is looked upon as being
funny thing; sensational. You see, if
we attempt something here and don't
carry it out, it's as good a thing as
these fellows would want.
Rev. c. S. Shefield:-I think what
ever is done, should be done before the
spring election.
Rev. Linus Blakesley:-I think we
should appoint committee to confer
with the city attorney to frame an or
dinance that will hold water 1 move
that Brother Chas. NJ. Sheldon be ap-
pointed as that committee to confer
with the city attorney.
The motion was carried and it was
decided to submit the ordinance when
completed to every congregation in To-
peka for ratification. Then with the
recommendation of the Ministerial IN
ion and the backing of the church peo-
pie of Topeka the ordinance will be
presented to the city council for pas
sage.
The next meeting of the Ministerial
union will be held two weeks from to-
day at which the election of officers
will be held.

INGALLS, ON TRUSTS.
Says They Can Be Destroyed by Tax
alton, if People Will

New York March 1.-The Journal prints
the following:
The evaporation against trusts and
monopolies does not arise from hostility
to capital, hatred of wealth or envy of
successes, but from the belief that the in
evitabie effect of these combinations
whether intended or not, is to restrain
competition, impair the dignity of labor
of the labOrer and make liberty the hertz
age of the few instead of the many. for
liberty and pauperism are not compatible.
The trusts must 60 1t is written. They
will not depart voluntarily They will
protest at every step. They will stand
upon the order of their going. They will
denOunce all inquiry as Ubiquitous, inquisi-
torial and inspired by partisan malignity.
But this will not deceive the people. They
want the truth. The object of Lexow com
mittees is to disclose the existence and the
methods of the cOnSpiracieS to limit pro-
ductiOn. control prices. depress wages
and strangle competition. Public opinion
will do the rest.
The problem is not insolvable; the pow
er of the people to suppress injurious
trusts and monOpolieS is ample already.
The state can outlaw them as public
enemies, and through the courts. forfeit
their powers, annul their franchises and
declare them against public policy and
void in accordance with the presidents of
many centuries.
But the nation can WELD a mightier
weapon still. When the supreme court
declared in the state bank cases that the
to destroy. it delegated a forrnidabIe wea-
pom to discomfort, and placed in every
bOndsman'S hands the means to cancel
his captivity. JOHN ]. INGALLS,.
