TAGARIES OF KANSAS LAW.
WHEN THEY CANNOT ENFORCE EASY STAT
UTES THEY PASS HARD ONES.

The lawmakers of Kansas find that they cannot
enforce the laws which they have against the
liquor traffic. and therefore they make more laws.
absolutely everything which anybody cares to do
guilt and will all leave the State and then no mora
laws will be broken
There was a law against the sale OF liquors. and
the officers of the State and the cities were SO
helpless to enforce it that private citizens had
take the matter into their hands and break
other laws. and other things besides laws with
axes. in the hope OF getting this partially
carried out Now the attempt Is made TO reach
the root Of the matter by passing law that
man shall give drink to any other man even In
his house.
How 1T is expected that officers OF the law are to
apprehend those who give and take quiet drinks in
their own homes, when they cannot get at those
who sell openly. Is OF those questions which
can be solved only by a mind akin to that OF a
Kansas lawmaker. The end will probably be that
women will feel compelled by their consciences to
so about breaking in the doors OF private houses
with hatchets and wreckfng the furniture and thus
the public peace will be maintained.
Another clause OF the law makes 1t an offence to
be found in place where liquor Is sold. The saune
KIND or logic IS evident here The officers Of the
law have found themselves utterly unable to catch
can apprehend those who present where they
are sold Surely. the simplicity OF mind which can
UeVlse such methods these Is a fascinating
study. and IT Is TO be hoped that the people OF
Kansas Will go on with the same kind OF IegisIa-
uoh' IN order that naturalists may have an oppor-
tuhty TO formulate some OF theory as to their
mental processes
