These persons, it is true, may attempt

tremely hazardous, and penalties pro-
vided are very severe. A commend
able feature of the law is that owners
Of the property, wherein an illegal
traffic of this sort is conducted may be
held responsible and the Dow tax is
made a lien upon the property. 1t
is hardly probable therefore, that land
lords will take the risk of harboring
irresponsible tenants, who are at
tempting to evade this tax. 1t is
probable that certain property owners
in Canton will, even now, be held for

other cities of Stark county and he
proposes to take advantage of the op-

Wares Political uaxims.

Eugene +. Ware, the newly ap-
pointed commissioner Of pensions,
does not believe in stepping stones'
in politics. He once said: "The
doctrine OF stepping stones is delu-
sion. The only endurable way 20 get
an office is to grow up and fall over
into it sideways"
That's the way he got the pension
commissionership. Continuing Mr..
Ware said: "Availability is the only
test. A nomination is a matter OF
availability. Sometimes bad man
on one occasion is more available than
a good man on another
Then Mr.. Ware laid down the fol-.
lowing propositions:
"First. There are no prizes In
Kansas politics.
Second. The people will let you
know il they want you.
Third. You will not be called
upon If not presently available.
"Fourth. You may be at one par
ticular moment available, and never
so again.
"Fifth. No man by taking thought
can add q cubit to bis stature.
"To these might add that the
man who thinks that he will 60 right,
straight, plumb down into Gehenna
II he don't hold some kind Of an office
has diseased mind"
Mr.. Ware gave expression to these
views two years ago-when he did
not dream Of succeeding H. Clay
