to the defense OF the jointists is some
perance people Of Topeka, but to the
public generally. Chief StahI said yes
terday; Joint smashing is the crime
committed by Mrs Nation, if there be
such q crime She will be prosecuted on
that charge The police will watch her

would arrest anyone else for such a
deed"
OF course this is Chief StahFs duty,
but why is he so suddenly anxious To
protect the joints when he has been 50
slow heretofore about moIesting them
What Mr. Stahl is reported as saying
today is still more remarkable. He is
quoted as saying, after making the
rounds of the joints: I demanded that
the joints close their doors for the sake
OF the peace Of the town and for their
own safety Things are SO guarded now
that it is almost impossible for Mrs. Ma
ton to do any more damage Sheriff
Nichols and myself agreed that the
safest thing to do was for the 5ointists
to close their doors, and the jOintists
with whom talked are inclined to take
the same view of it
We are told that as a result of the
consultation it was decided to appeal to
the Jointists to at least close until the
storm blows over.

special purpose of closing out the

he visits them; he consults with them:
he appeals to them: he acts like an at

We do not believe at all that he is in

entirely along this line. Sheriff Cook,
Judge Hazen, County Attorney Nichols
