A SORT OF "BABY" PLAY.
Onslaught on the Slot Machines
When There Are Many Worse
Evils.

The nuisance law is to be used against
the slot machine. OF course, there are
joints, gambling houses and other evils
running in Topeka but the awful wick
edness of the poor little slot machines
is what challenges attention and makes
the world stand aghast. 1t is very
much if the vices of drinking, smok-
ing, morphine taking, etc, were over
looked while all the ammunition of re
form were turned on gum-ch chewing.
An action was commenced in the dis
trict court today against George Burg
hart who has a cigar store at Eighth
street and Kansas avenue and the court
is asked to declare the slot machine a
gambling device and nuisance and order
it destroyed.
Other suits will probably be COM
menced at once against other proprie
tors who allow slot machines to be OPP
Grated in their places of business.
The druggists and other business men
who use slot machines to stimulate cigar
and soda water trade are organized to
fight the movement. Several meetings
have been held, attorneys employed, and
everything is in readiness to have the
question tested in the courts.
The whole question will hinge on
whether the slot machine is a gambling
device. 1t will be interesting to know
what the courts will do about the mat
ter. 1t was at first intended to begin
criminal prosecutions under the Cubbi-
son law but as that law makes gambling
a felony the managers of the anti-slot
machine movement thought it would
not be wise to bring an action under
that law.
