BirdsaIl Home Robbed.

Thieves who added the malicious
ness of wanton destruction to the cuss-
edness of cupidity entered the Bird
sail home ON south State street Thurs
day night. Mr.. Birdsall is merchant
policeman and was absent on the
streets when the robbery was commit
ted. Mrs. Birdsall and one of the
boys were at home, but sound asleep
and heard nothing. The thief secured
a box at neighbours house and,
standing ON it, raised Il window Mrs.
Birdsall's plants stood in the window
and he lifted them outside and set them
on the rain barrel where they were
found frosted to death next morning.
The house was entered and a watch
belonging to one of the boys, and sew
cral pieces of mems clothing were
taken. No clue as yet has been found

tied cranberry ,on one Of his corns

disappeared and hasn't been back

cluded that cranberry is fatal to the

in the lengthy past some barefooted

For Shooting Into a Train.

The preliminary hearing of NAL
colin Bliss, the young man who con-
fessed in order to clear the two boys,
Arthur oliver and Ed Smith from all
completely in the blame, was held be
fore justice Gard Saturday
Bliss fired u load of shot into the re-
ceding north bound passenger train
Thanksgiving day. The shot did little
damage but the company feels that
such practices should be suppressed.
Afterwards the same boy emptied "a
barrel into a south-bound freight, out
of pure boyish wantonness.
Quickly captured the boys we're ex-
amined at the time and Bliss honor
ably and honestly cleared his com
panions. Several Santa Fe trainmen
were here to attend the trial
and in view OF Bliss's confession and
the fact that the case must go to the
district court, the use of the prelimi-
nary is questionable. The charge in
cludes tresspass, wounding passengers
and several other vague things. The
law provides a penitentiary sentence,
but owing to theyouthfulness of Bliss,
about II years. the reform school
would be substituted. While nobody
wishes to condone the offense there is
general sentiment in town that Sc
we're reprimand would he sufficient to
correct young Bliss and at the same
time passenger trains be secured
against being used as targets by AL
len county boys. 1t is Il peculiar
case.

College are conducted with so little

there are right now forty students TAX

ka, while the drug store sales are sus-
piciously large and an occasional
iointist appears in police court, there
are no open saloons, and so far as we
remember the city has never made the
traffic source of regular monthly
revenue after the manner of the other
cities of the State.
The law has not been enforced in
Topeka, any more than in any other
places, without fight. There have
been men just as anxious to violate it
there aselsewhere, and they have been
defeated only by constant,vigilance on
the part of the good citizens who,
whatever their individual sentiments
on the question of prohibition, have
yet stood by the simple and unanswer-
able proposition that so long as a
law remains on the statute books 1t
should be enforced. The contest has
been long one, and it Is not over yet.
Right now the forces of law and order
are confronted with situation as
grave as any with which they have yet
had to contend, and they have need of
all the wisdom and courage they can
command. They have need too of the
encouragement that may come from
the knowledge that their efforts are be;
ing noted with interest and sympathy
by many friends of temperance outside
of Topeka.
As matter of fact, it is not only
with interest and sympathy tn at their
efforts are being noted, but one might
almost say with apprehension also.
For If the struggle is given up in To-
peka, the question may well be asked.
What use to continue it elsewhere? If
the law cannot be enforced in the capi-
tai of the State, where public sentiment
is known to strongly favor it, where
that sentiment finds constanteXpressio
through thecolumns fthe leading daily
paper of the State, where the counsel
and the power of the executive officers
of the State may be always availa BILE
and where the state Temperance
Union has its headquarters, then it
will certainly avail little to attempt
its enforcement elsewhere. This is the
situation as every candid friend of the
law outside of Topeka views it. And
it is because this is the situation, be-
cause the fight they are making is not
only to keep theirown city clean and
decent, but also to save prohibition
the state, that the brave men who are
leading the contest at Topeka should
have and do have the heartfelt sympa-
thy of every man and woman who be-
lieves that the law is just and
righteous and should be obeyed.

PROHIBITION IN TOPEKA.

1t is probably safe to say that To-
peka is the only large city now re-
naming in the State where any effort
is being made to enforce the prohibit
tory law. In all the other big towns,
and in many that are not so big, there
is no longer any pretense of enforce
ment, and what were once "ioints, =
hidden away and operated by stealth,
have become to all intents and pur-
poses licensed saloons, doing business

SUPPOSE WE SWEAR OFE.

After all it ought not to be forgot
ten that there would be no trouble
about enforcing the prohibitory law
il there were nobody to patronize the
joints. The REGIS TER knows a man
who would really like glass of beer
once in awhile, and when he Is in Mis-
souri, he sometimes takes one. But
he has never bought a drop in Kan
sas since the prohibitory lawwent into
effect, for the simple reason that he
did not think it was the part of loyal
and law-abiding citizen to tempt an
other man, or connlve with another
man to break the law. And that is
the REGISTER 5 idea of good citizen
ship. Nobody who pretendo at all to
be a good citizen would think for Il
moment of helping a thief to break
the law prohibiting larceny by con-
cealing the things stolen until they
could be safely disposed of; then why
should good citizen help Il man to
break the law prohibiting the sale of
beer: If there was nobody to buy
liquor the iointist would 20 out of
business mighty quick: and then there
would be no temperance cranks' to
worry the people, and no big taxes
to pay for grand jury, and the coun-
ty attorney could be elected two terms
in succession, and there would be no
wounds without cause, and no ragged
children and no unhappy women to
speak of. To he sure the police Judge
would have pretty thin picking, but he
would worry along somehow. is
only little while now until the New
Year and the New Century. Suppose
we all swear off and get rid of this
everlasting Joint question!
