surpassed by the crimes Of the foreign

MRS. NATION AS A REFoRMER.

The Tacoma Evening News is moth
ing II not illogical Thursdays issue
contains an editorial under the head
Reverence for the Law Of the Land,
in which the evil effects Of the disre-
gard OF the Kansas prohibitory laws
by those sworn to execute them are
skllfully portrayed. The News says;
Respect for law because 1t is the
law is a primary requisite Of good cit
izenship. and its prevalence in a COM
munity is an absolute essential to sue
eessful self government CaA-
dren who are born and reared in a town
or city where the law is held in open
defiance are unfortunately euyironed.
Woe TO the community where there is
no reverence for the FUNDAMENTAL law!"
Ir these statements the News win
have the sympathy Of every weil-oal-
znced American. The law must Be re-
spected. Without such respect there is
no safety to life or property and justice
ceases to exist. After so pre-eminently
sound a defense OF respect for law. the
News goes on to defend the lawlessness
Of Mrs. Nation in the following Ian
guage:
Mrs. Carrie Nation, as it appears to
US. may prove a most potent reformer
for Kansas. Let her WELD the battle
axe with all the vigor that she may.
IT, as we suspect they will, the saloon
keepc.s close their doors in terror at
her approach. and the sheriff and po-
lice find themselves powerless to with
stand her and the constitution. the law
will be enforced, and It's enforcement
will hasten its repeal and its repeal
will pave the way 20 high license and
proper regulation Of the liquor traffic,
and Kansas win cease attempting the
impossible, the constitution and laws as
amended will command respect and
obedience. and out Of the chaos Of law
Iessness. civic degeneracy. riot and dis
order win spring obedience TO law, or
der. peace and good government. This
is a consummation devoutly TO be
wished. Mrs. Nation de-
serves pension for lnaugurating a
crusade which will force Kansas to an
amendment 0f her constitution and the
sensible regulation Of the liquor traffic"
The pension which Mrs. Nation de-
serves and will receive, II there be
any justice ir the courts Of Kansas, /
Is free board and lodging at the states
expense. Granted that her criminal
course may call the attention Of the /
state to the reinforcement Of its /
Jaws ana hence aid in he repeal Of the (
statutes which the News deems OBJ |
Iectionabc or bring about their en-
forcement, the fact remains that Mrs.
Nation has given the country an exhi-
bition Of unbridled lawlessness. which
is already bearing fruit in other states
than her own and which will counter
act the good effect Of all the appeals
ior respectful submission to law which
the well -wishers Of orderly admins
tration o: justice may make for months
10 como. The property rights of a
saloonkeeper, as well as Of anyone else,
must be respected 4 we are to remain
a free nation in the best sense Of the
word, II matters not whether the sa-
loonkeeper be a law-breaker or not.
That is for the courts TO decide The
idea that evil leeds are legitimate as
means of bringing about good ends
has been long since abandoned by the
conscientious and law-abding.
