Pittsburg Dispatch: The manifesto
ton Of the anti-liquor crusade at To-
pela. kan. reported in OR news col
umns, illustrates a curious and by no
means reassuring aspect Of our public
affairs. The meeting shows that Mrs
Nations sensational initiative has
aroused the public sentiment Of that
place in favor OF enforcing the prohib-
tory laws. A meeting of imposing num-
bers forms an organization which de-
mands that the saloons be closed, and
conveys no covert hint Of the forcible
measures that viii be resorted to if the
order - not obeyed- This calls for the
comment that the people OF Kansas are
entitled to have their prohibitory law
enforced. But If they are strong enough
TO back this demand by mob law they
should certainly be strong enough to
elect public officers Of a stamp that viii
make the enforcement Of the law per-
manent The situation displays a COM
mon fault Of the day. The moral eie-
ment grows careless and permits the
election to public position Of politicians
who maintain a lax enforcement of the
laws. if they enforce them at all Then
when the abuses become fragrant the
people. instead OF amending their own
neglect. resort to mob law. Such situa-
ton demands a remedy, but the remedy
