GODDARD SCORCHED.
Governor TrOutman Denounces
His Sudden Change of Front
on Trusts.

Ex-Lieutenant Governor James A.
Troutman said today concerning Attor-
ney General Godard's unexpected de-
lenses of trusts:
Viewed from the standpoint of Off
ciaI duty Mr.. Godard's position is in
defensibIe. AS a matter of party policy
it means inevitable defeat. The legis-
lature has given this state a very eff
cient and comprehensive antitrust
law. The law prescribes the duty of
the attorney general to diligently pros
ecute any and all persons violating any
of the provisions of this act The at
torney# general is empowered to have
witnesses subpeOnaed before any district
judge of the state to give evidence of
the existence of trusts or combinations.
The evidence thus given may be made
the basis Of proper prosecutions.
The duty of the attorney general is
explicitly defined If Mr. GODDARD is cor
rectly quoted in his newspaper inter-
views he comedies that the law is be-
ing violated, but instead of prosecuting
the offenders he argues the feasibility
of such proceedings. public officer
has but one duty, and that is to enforce
the law and let the consequences take
care of themselves.
In its political aspect the antitrust
proposition will be an important if not
a controlling issue in the next state and
national campaign. The platforms of
all parties. state and national will un-
dOubtedIy declare against trusts and
combinations, but in this state if no
effort is made to enforce the law such
a platform declaration would be a mat
ter of jest and ridicule- Every trust
and combination doing business in this
state can be driven out if the remedy
afforded by the law is properly applied.
This may occasion some inconvenience,
but it has been decreed that the trusts
must go, and our state administration
should aid in accomplishing this re-
suit.
The governor in public addresses at
banquets and elsewhere, and in his
newspaper interviews has grown elo-
quent and fervid in the denunciation
of trusts and combines but executive
EXAMINATIONS are a mere burlesque I'M
less followed by decisive action.
THE people of this state will not en-
dOrse the administration in do-noth-
ing policy respecting this question. Mr.
GODDARD is an able and conscientious
able lawyers to assist him in his work.
The governor is a good lawyer and
clearly comprehends statutory provis-
ions. Both the attorney general and
the governor have high ideas of official
duty. If the administration expects the
approval of the people let these officers
drive the trusts beyond the limit of
the state, as it can be done under ex-
listing statutes. If this is not done, or
at least, an honest effort made in that
direction, the abandoned barb wire fac
factory building at Topeka, the vacant
Iinseed oil plant, and similar institu-
tions, will appear in the next cam
paign as a spectre to embarrass and
defeat the Republican party of this
state

BRIDGES WERE BAD.
Several Over the Chicago River Closed
and Condemned Dangerous.

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-TwO bridges over
the Chicago river have been ordered
closed to traffic, seven others were
condemned as dangerous and two were
labelled very suspicious These last

All this came about today, because
the bridge over the Calumet river at

which was as follows:
There is an old couple at Alb East
Third street who are both sick and en-
tirely helpless. The old man has been
arrested frequently for liquor selling
and was released about three months
since, sick from the jail, after having
served Sc days, and has grown steadily
worse ever since. He is "a years old

''She was taken very sick last week.
Both are helpless in bed and no one to
take care of them. They have three or
four married children who either can
not or will not do a thing for them.
Now will the city have a nurse or can
the children be compelled to take care
of them? I can get a nurse if had

The persons referred to are Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Peet.
rs there not some way to compel the
children of these people to take care
of them? asked Mayor Drew.
City Attorney Bird do not know
how that can be done. There is only
one place for people of this class and
that is the poor house. There is no rea-
son why the city should be compelled
to take care of them. Some one is al

The case was then referred to Poor

THINK OVER THIS.
What Outsiders Say About
Coming City Hall Election.
[From the wichita Eagle ]

&
For some months past the question
of building an auditorium has been agi-
tated by the more progressive people
of Topeka, but the effort has been
hampered in many ways, by stfifes
over proposed locations, court injunc-
tiOns, and so forth. Topeka very much
needs such an edifice, and more par
ticularly because it is the capital of
the state, and such public hall should
be built, either as a joint stock enter
prise, as was the auditorium in this
city, or by the city as municipality.
While the investment would not prove
a particularly profitable one to individ-
ual stockholders, directly, yet Indirect
~ it would But in any event Topeka
can not afford as a city TO go much
longer without a cOmmodioUs, comfort
able and attractive auditorium. The
capitol and other state buildings and
institutions and interests located there
naturally draw large state assem-
blages, political, educational fraternal
and the like, and the lack of an AIDE
quate hall proves an annoyance which
sometimes amounts to a diScredit The
more attractive a capital city is, the
better, not only for the city itself and
its individual values and interests but
for the state and the people of the state
in a general way. However, to say
nothing of civic pride or of its obliga-
ton as the capital city. the people of
Topeka can not afford to let the audi
forum movement go by default

BURNED THE MORTGAGE.
First Baptist Church Celebrates It's
Release From Indebtedness.

The mortgage on the First Baptist
church was burned last evening before
a good sized audience at the church,
corner Ninth and Jackson streets.
In 1887 the Baptists mortgaged their
church and property for the sum of
$4,000. Until two years ago only 81, 500
had been paid. In 1897 the pastor, Rev
NJ. L. Thomas, with nine helpers which
constituted the debt committee. under
took to raise the amount of debt still
unpaid by securing pledges of sums of
money to be paid providing pledges
sufficient to pay the debt We're secured.
The pastor and the committee work
ed faithfully for several months and
finally received pledges for the desired
amount.
Last April the debt was paid and in
May the mortgage, note and the re-
lease of the mortgage were received by
the church.
Last evening before the burning of
the mortgage the members of the debt
committee spoke, giving a history of
the mortgage from the time of it's
placing in 1887 until the present date
Mrs. Jesse Shaw was selected to put
fire to the mortgage and note because
she was two years ago the first to pro-
pose to clear the church at once of the
mortgage. She held the papers in her
hand until they were nearly consumed
and then dropped the mimic a recep-
tacle.. While the mortgage and note
were burning the audience sang.
