Are We Law ABIDING oltlaona9


EDITOR GAZETTE: am not chronic
XIX ker but events that have recently come
under my observation have set me to
thinking along the line suggested BY my
question. AT first though there is likely
to come an emphatic indignant Eyes" in
re0ponoe. But think again. A few days
ago accidentally saw a street gamin
throw stone In very emphatic manner
at yellow dog that went ki-yi.ing down
the street. Stepping up TO the lad l said
''See here, young fellow, don't you know
that it is against the law for boys to throw
stones in the streetP' "Huh! what do /
creT the gamiu responded. "TheY
don't never enforce nothin, in this town.
aud yelling like a young Indian he ran
down the street. 81 wonder if there is
any truth In that" thought to myself
and began to investigate. 1t was not long
before discovered that there were quite
a lumber Of ordinances of the city ''more
honored in the breach than in the obeerv-
spG-."
Among them may be noticed playing
ball on the streets; dogs running without
collars; chickens scratching up their
neiRhbors gardens; hogs pertaining the
atmosphere within the city limits; domes-
tic ANIMALS picketed in the streets, or Oc-
asiOnlay running at large; leaving horses
clnhitched OF hitching them To shade tree
or to hydrantsi putting no numbers on
houses; obstructing sidewalks; riding BIZ
cycles on the sidewalks; opening mRu.
holes to escape cyclone without permits
sion. (See ordinance No, 1877, tiue $25 }
There are some of the minor laws for
the violation of which offenders are so
seldom punished that many people VIC
late them ignOrantly. Is it not true that
failure to enforce law educates the people
to ignore and belittle the lawP Itmay be
said that some of these laws are oppres-
sive and ought not to be enforced.
Granted, but would it not be better to
modify the law or repeal it entirely than
never 10 enforce itP In some instances
the law is unjust because incomplete
1t prohibits hitching to trees and by
drants and prohibits leaving horses un-
hitched yet supplies nothing to hitch to.
There are whole blocks in which there is
scarcely post or proper hi:ohing place
to be found thereby compelling the team
sters TO violate the law. ALI bicycle rid
ers feel that the ordnance prohibiting
riding on the sidewalks Is unnecessarily
severe aud that it ought to be modified
sufficiently to permit careful riding on
the side walks of back streets in muddy
weather Because of this feeling 1t is ig-
Dored almost entirely. There certainly
should be exceptions in favor of news
boys, police officers while on duty, ply
sicians visiting patients in haste, tele-
graph messengers and ali persons using
the wheel for business purposes and not
for pleasure. Few people know that
they are liable to be fined for not keep
ing the numbers on their houses, but ig
nOrance of the law is not recognized
excuse To enforce one law and not an
other is unfair. All people should be,
and think the most of the people in
tend to be law-abiding, but nou-enforce-
ment is easy to breed contempt for all
law. A word to the wise is sufficient.

Proposeh Ordinance.

The city council at meeting Mon
day night received report from it's
ways and means committee that is Gre
ating considerable stir. Among its
recommendations are some Juat are
very cOmmendable and some that are
very much the reverse. Among the
things that may be classed in the for
mer catalogue are some reductions in
salaries and some increases in licenses,
such as on circuses etc Among the
latter, we must say is a tax on the
drsys, trans er and baggage wagons,
belonging to poor men, whe working
day and night can make only the poor
est kind of a living as it is. 1t
amounts to tining man Tor doing
something. However, we understand
that such a tax is unconstitutional and
cannot be collected. Another bad
feature is the taxing of peddlers who
sell on back streets, vegetables Of their
own raising. The second hand stores
are also to be taxed but the amount
was not fixed The police profess to
believe that they receive much stolen
property and this is done to compel
them to register it aud where they get
it etc. FROM the character Of most of
our second hand men at least, it does
not seem that such a claim could be
justly made. A tax upon them for
what they do is unjust. However, if
it is only to show where and from
whom they get their goods it may not
be so bad, yet for honest dealers to be
treated as the consOrts of thieves is
surely Insulting enough to arouse their
Indignation.
The ordinance committee was in.
structed to draft an ordinance In &C
cordance with these recommendation

The meeting at Topeka the last OF
the week, AT which it was expected the
various appomtees to The RfofmatOry
would be decided upon. did no. mater.
ialize in whole This was owing to the
death of Senator WALLACE Of Atkinson,
the new member Of the board, and
much of the work had 10 be postponed
till his successor is appointed. The
wife of T. j. O'Neal, another member
of the boar1, was also 50 sick as to be
almost at deaths door and Mr.. O'Neal
could not be present. However, Two
or three appointments have been made.
1t is understood tnat Captain Arnold,
ex sheriff of Cherokee county, Ia to be
Mr.. Morse successor as superinten-
dent. lie is not here yet however,
and it is not authenticated. Senator
Armstrong was his strongest rival and
the general feeling is that he might have
been the man had it not been for his
record on the railroad question.
Mr.. W. 7. Hopkins Of Harrington,
editor of the Herald at that place, is
he 9 and has assumed his duties as
assistant superintendent Mr.. Hop

OF business sense and experience, and

out Monday to give him possession.

THE JUBILEE.
Opens Tnesday Morning. AuSpi.
clos for Success.

| opens Tuesday MORNING. AuSpA
clos for Success.
1t was gracious sky and a balmy
breeze that greeted both guests and
hosts that assembled for the jubilee
Tuesday morning. 1t is said that
never have the indications for a sue
cessful jubilee been better than at the
opening this year. The building was
filled, except the reserved ats, and
they were sold. The program Of the
first day was one Of the most interest
ing of the entire session. 1t was the
contests of the school chOruses.
First WAS the Maple Street school of
Hutchinson, Joe FOntrOn principal.
This consisted of children of the ages
from 10 to IL mostly and contained
fifty voices. The next was the Fourth
Ave school with smaller children and
thirty-siX voices, Miss WOOdson princi-
pal. Tbs Iext was Sherman Street
school, fifty voices, Prof. L I. Gibbons
prircipal, Then The Allen school
chorus was called cons sting Of forty
three voices. Miss Brown director.
These children were not as large az
some of the Others but was one of the
best. A chorus from Newton was next
and lead by Mrs. Boyd 1t showed tie
most careful and exact training. If
criticism is to be made it would be
that it was too noticeable and was over
done. This chorus was composed
largely of mature and well trained
voices. Ore of the leaders was strong
member of the Presbyterian choir.
Ave A school chorus, Hutchinson,
was then in turn, consisting Of fifty
voices, director, Miss Willard. 1t
measured about with the others. A
chorus OF FIFTY voices from the North
Side school, Newton, was next. 1t was
not az full voiced as the other for the
reason that the contestants were
younger but showed about the same
training, nevertheless both we're more
mature than any others. Fred Robin
son Of the North Side building, Hutch
insOn. with chorus of fifty voices
came next as the last Hutchinson
chorus but not by an ymeans the least.
The contest was closed by the Wichita
chorus of tn rty eight voices directed
by Miss Jessie Clark from the IrvingtOn
school. These contestants were not
nearly SO large or mature as those
from Newton. They sung very plainly
and nicely.
These Newton chOruses could hardly
fairly compete with the Hutchinson
choruses, if our information is correct,
that they were only two ehOruses
chosen from among all the schools.
We have given more space TO the
school contests for thereasen that every
one is interested, rightly too, in the
training of the children.
Each chorus rendered first America"
then followed with some other selec-
ton.
We would be glad to comment at
length upon each item on the program
since Tuesday morning but space for
bids. Since then have been the usual
contests in other departments Of music
both vocal and instrumental and there
has been no lscE OF interest either on
The part of spectators or contestants.
Musicians are here from all over the
State and some from out of the State
while visitors pour in on every train.
From general appearances one might
guess that this will he one of the best
jubilees ever held and will encourage
TO another next year.

The Bank matter has been dragging
along with no news OF an encouraging
nature, On Friday it was given out
that Mr.. Breidenthal would be here
Monday and would do something def
nate. He came but the Kansas City
people with whom he was to do bust
ness did not come till next day. Then
they we're here with host of attorneys
but no money. Mr.. Breidenthal con-
ferred with them during the day but
not liking their tactics and fearing that
they might sue in the federal courts
for the collateral which had been put
up to secure them but which he got into
his possession to hold for the benefit Of
the depositOEs the first day he was
here, he applied for receiver. Judge
Simpson came up on the SIX O'Clock
train Tuesday night from Newton and
Assistant Attorney General Smelling
came in on the same train from Topeka.
That evening the judge appointed a
receiver. Commissioner Breidenthal
had recommended that man thor
Oughly acquainted with the banking
business and with bank books be- APP
pointed. But number of the deposit
tors we're present and got together to
select a man. The judge then decided
if they could unanimously agree on
man he would APPOINT him. They agreed
on John Kinkel. The judge put him
through some sharp questioning and
appointed him.
Another thing was done which is not
usual which will be of great assistants
to the creditors mainly the fixing of
his salary. There were even those
present who plead for high salaries but
it was finally fixed at 1925 per month
which. 10 our mind, is about $25 to
high HIS bond is fixed at $50, OOO
There are good reasons for expecting
that the duration aud perquisites of
receiver will be less under the new
banking law than formerly. A re-
ceiver is subject to examination by the
bank commissioner twice a year, and
his reports are to be made public,
which gives the interested parties an
opportunity to have something to say
if all is not done we'll.
The Metropolitan National of Kansas
City is not now in an enviable posi-
ton. They sent Canterbury out here
and represented him to be man of
means when in fact he bad nothing
and they were supposed to stand spon-
sOr for the bank. They can not sue
for the recovery of their collateral
witheut the consent of the Judge here
and they are liable to be sued by the
receiver on several of their deals which
are said not to be without shadows and
shades.
Mr.. Breidenthal is still in hopes that
the Metropolitan will come up with the
cash rather than go into the litigation /
to which they are liable with its bad
effects. RELYING on this hope there
will be- no arrests made on criminal
charges till Monday the parties in the |
meantime are under guard.

A woman burned at the stake Is a martyr.
A woman tortured and dragged down to
death by the pains and misery Of diseases
distinctly feminine, Is just an ordinary ev-
eTy-day woman. Her case is so common that
little Is thought of it. She had better be
burned. Her agony would be sooner over.
Many women suffer in silence because
they dread the abhorrent local treatment
invaTiable insisted upon by physicians -
and because they dread the truly appalling
charges these physicians make. Nowoman
need submit to either of these evils. The
problem of womanly health was solved 20
years ago by the preparation of DIR. PieTce's
Favorite Prescription. Tens of thousands
of grateful women have written to DR.. Pierce
TO thank him for restored health, love and
happiness. The "Favorite Prescription"
