"AIl governments derive

governed"
Hutchinson gazette., 1901-02-07

THERE 10 a strong feeling manifest
In the legislature toward the passing
OF u resolution to submit Rn amend
ment to the constitution to hold
county elections only every two years
and then elect all The clllcers at once,
This Ia a question upon which there
can hardly be party lines drawn, II
does not change the length OF term
II does not touch the question of ro'
tat ion In Ollce,, 1t only avoids the
trouble, expense, work and worry Of
an election of years when there Is no
need of one and when there Is seldom
a full expression OF the people because
the issues are not sufficiently import
ant, as many llInE, to cause them 10
leave their work and vote, Though
there can be no valid reason given for
opposing such resolution, II Ia very
doubtful II II will pass, The members
are too busy with the bills Of the cor
pOrations, and attending the threatres
and destroying the liquor in the Topeka
joints though different procesa from
that of Mrs. Nation TO take care Of u
resolution Of this sort.

THAT the republican majority Of the
legislature now In session would undo
as much Of the good work Of the popu-
lists as they would dare to do, was q
matter generally understood when II
was known they had a majority in
both houses. or course no important
bills have as yet been finally passed, /,
but the nature Of those introduced by
the members of the majority and the
committee reports upon them, together
with the comment Of the republican
papers, gives very good opportunity
for forming an estimate of what will
be done before adjournment ia taken.
Not only will everything be done for
the corporations that can be without
throwing the chance Of party success
entirely away, not only will everything
be done, fair or unfair, within the
power of lawmakers to legislate them
selves into perpetual control, but they
are preparing the State as far as is in
their power for the reign of wildcat
dealing and speculation, For exam
pie, Breldenthal's banking bill which
passed four years ago contained pro-
vision prohibiting banks from loaning
more than four times the amount OF
their capital stock. If u banks cap
ital stock is only $4,000 1t must limit
it's loans to $40 600. II 1t has secured
deposits to 80 large an amount that 1t
would wish to increase its loans TO
more than $40, 600 then 1t must increase
the protection to it's depositors by in
creasing its capital stock. The legis-
lature has now under consideration a
bill repeating this clause and permit
ting the banks to loan as much as they
please, with every prospect that it will
be passed. Then there is the law al
lowing eighteen months in which the
mortgagor may redeem his land after
foreclosure proceedings have been COM
menced. This law it is generally
agreed must get out of the way OF
the sharks who want the money made
"easy," Money is easy" enough
now. In fact there never was time
when it could be.obtained more read
lily or on easier terms than now. This
demand for easy money comes from
those who have money to loan, or per-
haps few wild and irresponsible spec
ulators This law has saved many u
poor farmer his home in this county.
But apparently it has sayed all the
homes it ever will. The money must
be turned loose. We must have
boom. Nothing must stand in the
way, That is the program.

Tho Temperance League,

Nearly year ago the good citizens OF
this town organized league for the en-
forcement Of The liquor law and eslah-
lishcd a subscription fund for the prose-
cutloO Of the iquorcascs, The subscrp-
tons were taken upon the stipulation
that only one ncpCIcent was to be collected
at any one assessment and not more
than three assessments were to be
made a year, The purpose OF this
arrangement was to establish perma-
nent fund. Up TO the present time
about S8,oco has been subscribed.
Organizations Of local leagues were ef-
iected in Arlington, Sylvia, Nickerson
and Haven, Then for various reasons
the work was allowed to drag until re-
Gently Now 1t is being taken up again
and pushed vigorously Tuesday even
ing Of last week Rev, Morgan and Al
bert Thompson went to Booth to organ
ize but as the weather was bad and not
many were present, they fixed a time
for another meeting and will 60 again.
Thursday night Dr. Irwin and 7, +.
Leidigh went to Pretty Prairie and
organized, They reported an enthusi-
astic and successful meeting. The same
night Rev, Morgan and Charles Rozell
organized at Partridge, They will also
organize in all the small towns and even
in school districts when practicable.
Albert Thompson, the secretary, re-.
quests that temperance workers in all
parts Of the county where organizations
may be effected or work done CORE
spond with him.
The league has employed Judge Will
liam Whitelaw as their attorney, and un,
der the law the county attorney must
recognize him as an assistant,
1t is learned that when the grand jury
adjourned there were nine members who
were dissatisfied with the action of the
jury in not bringing indictments against
some whom they thought the evidence suf
fficient to warrant the finding Of true bills,
They then went Immediately on their
own account and had warrants sworn
out against them, Two Of the men i'm
mediately left for parts unknown, The
other three are under bond to appear
for trial at the April'term Of the district
court. In working up evidence and try
ing the cases of all such as these the
Leagues attorney will assist, It is the
desire of the league to raise the sub.
scription 10 $4,000. so that the income
will amount to SI2oo per year, ltseems
to be the intention of the temperance
people of this county to prove that in
the enforcement of the law the dollar Is
mightier than the hatchet,

They Robbed Him.

Monday night tall, rather large and
innocent looking man came in from
Missouri,and fell linwith a couple of young
men of this city or county who thought
he ought to be showed" One of the
men came in with him on the train from
Newton, His name is Mike Spradley
and is brother to Jim Spradley who
was sent 10 the pennitentiary about a
year ago for highway robbery. The
other young man was Tom Johnson who
lives here. The man from Missouri
gave his name as Philip Maier, and he
is from Cooper county. On the train he
became quite friendly with Sprdley
and he was lured up to Johnson's rooms
over the office of the Interior Herald
Then they wanted to play euchre or
something Of that sort The man from
Missouri didn't know how. They fin
ally performed some operation that
made him show his money. Then they
jumped onto him, one of them holding
a pistol and made him deliver his
money to the amount Of about thirty
dollars, In the scullle his nose was
skinned and he got two or three blows
about the head, This is his story in
short, They will no doubt tell different
one. Next morning he went to the po.
lice and they soon arrested Johnson at
the stone building just north Of the Rock
Island depot where his wife was work
ing. Maier identified him positively,
Spradley they were unable to find and
it is supposed he has absconded, The
The Spradleys were raised near Nicker-
son by parents who taught them to
swear, and ii is perhaps nothing strange
that they are now engaged in such bus
mess. The story Of a Missouran playing
the passive part in robbery seems to jar
the sensibilities of some citizens OF Kan
sas, but it nevertheless seems to be so.
Mr.. Maier is a well dressed, honest ap-
pearing man who came here to visit his
brother who lives in the country.

STATE Superintendent Nelson has
changed his mind about two dozen
times or more in the last two weeks
about the sort Of school legislation the
State needs. In fact he seems to have
changed it about as many times as he
has been seen by different people who
had a notion, especially if that notion
were in any way to the interest OF
the book trust. Prior to the State
teachers association during the holi-
days he was for some law that would
destroy uniformity, and which was
palpably in the interest of the trust,
Then the teachers seem to have hauled
him close to the fire and he finally
promised to support anything they
should endorse. Then he got Off again
after an arrangement which the trust
was using to destroy uniformity and
to kill the effect Of the present law.
But the teachers committee AMI other
pressure made life miserable for him
till he last Saturday concluded to get
right and then write letter saying so
in order that he might not change his
mind. So as it stands now he has con-
cluded that the present law is not
bad but that the book trust is very,
very bad, 1t is little surprising and
slightly humorous to see this high Of
Gcer who in common with the big mo.
guls of lis party no doubt told the
people during the campaign that there
were no trusts low writing letters
giving as his reason for opposing GER
tain measure the fact that it is urged
by the representatives Of a trust.

EICRI Institute.

The success which the Illinois Medi.
cal and Surgical Institute have met since
they came to Hutchinson is certainly
encouraging to tfcm il their efforts to
give people best treatment that science
and skill can afford. The numbers
that have consulted these physicians for
diagnosis Of their aiment, and have
them return for course of treatment
certainly speaks well OF their merit,
They have made life, study Of the vari-
Gus chronic diseases, and have success
fully treated and cured thousands of
cases. These physicians are noted for
the cures they have made and the cures
they are making every day, right here
in Hutchinson. II has been this varied
experience in all parts Of the country,
n oustant, practical application Of all
the hest and approved discoveries Of
medic,l science that gives them an ad-
vantage in the treatment Of disease.

On Monday mechanics liens to the
amount of somewhere in the neighbor
hood of $1,000 were filed against the
Shaw Theatre, 1t was understood about
the time the building was commenced
that the New York Life Insurance Co.
was TO build it. But 1t now seems to de-
velop that the New York Life had moth
ing to do with it, and the title as shown
by the deed rests in Shaw and w, S.
Thompson, Of this city, The two front
rooms have been boarded up ever since
the theatre was opened and have not
been finished. This has put a bad ap.
pearance upon the front of the building
and seemed TO indicate financial em-
bauasment Of some sort,
The heavy liens were filed by the
stone contractor, one of the lumber
yards and the decorators, The other
liens are for small amounts mostly for
labor, which were assigned to w. H..
Eagan, Arrangements were made
some time ago for issuing bonds to the
amount Of $4,000 against the property,
but they may not have been sold, The
amount in mechanics liens now filed is
not so great that the owners should have
any trouble in raising them il there is
not something else back of them, What
ever the result, the city has the opera
house and will be likely to continue to
have it, But there seems to be some
mysterious things about it. This paper
has not taken sides in the ups and downs
OF the scheme and will not for the pres

last it is alleged by Nicola Dimorco, Petro's
brother Jutner drew long knife and made a
lowed by Jutner. who. il is said, attempted TO
strike him. In a few minutes both were
fighting mady and IL was seen that Petro also
