ooUNrnws LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

According to census figures, the Unit
ed States has 1850 establishments for
the production Of liquor, in which the
money invested amounts to the sum
OF i5767l.OS7. The output included L.
1885. 6O2, iOl gallons Of malt liquors. lO3,-

2S425567 gallons Of wine, giving q to-

Is calculated that this means

ton Of 1913 gallons, or omit

The efficiency Of the present Topeka
police force as criminal catcs-ers is
such that a very snail percent OF crimes
go unpublished. The officers catch the
offender. but do not stop there. they
gather evidence of a substantial nature
and convict him On several occasions
Chief Donovan has been compelled to
swear to the complaint himself and en-
gineer the prosecution when It was the
part of some one else to do it. as in the
case OF the three young toHghs, the Lar
son brothers and Hix. who we're q con-
slant trouble to the police. The A. T. &
S. f authorities charged them with
stealing brass hatracls from chair
car on a side track. A policeman caught
them in the act of selling the racks at
a junk-shop, and Santa Fe men identi-
fed the property. The boys were held
at the police station, and as special law
is provided for stealing from a. passen-
ger coach. it was a state case. The
chief told the Santa Fe watchmen who
had Identified the property to secure
state warrant. but they did not. and it
was up to- the chief to either attend
to the matter or release the culprits.
He handled the case himself, with the
result that three very bad boys win not
bother Topeka for quite awhile
Since Donovan has been at the head
of the force he has delivered 42 eri1ni-
mails to the state. and q few to ethef
states. Only two cases, both OF the ma
ture of a holdup and assault, have es-
capped. The assailant OF Mr.. Frank
Squires was never found. and the al
legged assailant of Mr.. John Grief eseap-
ed for lack of evidence in district court
The efficiency of the force may further
be illustrated by an incident of last
month. One Of the detectives found
some iewelry which had been sold faI
below it's real value. He also found a
peculiar cost mark attached. and made
a still hunt for the owner Of the mark.
After locating the owner of the goods,
he suspected an employee of the store,
and kept him in sight until he had posi-
tive evidence. Then came the hardest
part of the job. He had to first prove
to the owner that he had been robbed,
and then prove that the suspect was
guilty. This differs somewhat from the
usual mode of procedure. Tt is custo-
mary for the owner to discover his loss.

TIE MODERN SOLDIER.

In an exceptionally interesting dis
cussion of the Modern Soldier" in a
current periodical. Col Charles W.
Larned of the United States Military
Academy makes some observations
worth much not only to military men
but they also furnish food for reflection
to the common people who furnish in
one way or another the great armies of
the world.
The most striking idea about the dis
eussion at a rapid glance over it is the
way in which he develops the thought
Of individual responsibility and interest.
in the soldier himself. Furnishing the
first type of this was our forefathers
who came here and settled with the
odds all against them: much they had
to do was to see that a savage horde
did not wipe them from the earth But
in all this was the exemplifieation of
what hard necessity could do in making
warriors out of them. trained for the
occasion when it should come. And one
point with Col. Larned seems to have
overlooked is that the first real appear

man who can shoot straight if he be sin

rounds of ammunition. will win over
mere drill tactics and a show of fine
uniform. In our second struggle with
Great Britain was this same truth
emphasized time after time.
Then in the Civil war of this country
was enunciated the principle more clear

But it is the fact that men are coming
to realize that they must combine this
industry with that of agriculture if they
are to get the most out of each. It is
only by this means that the soil of our
farms is to be held up to the fertility
which causes it to produce paying
crops, at the same time furnishing the
farmer a means of laying out his prod

Tt is not likely that the producer of
beef is to get any big profits out of the
business now. but if he can hold himself
to it until a return of better crops and
cheaper feed. then he may hope to reap
the reeompense of patience which hath
its reward in all things.

SHOULD BE 4 GLANCE.

The condition Of things at the Topeka
pest house is such as to warrant radi-
cal chsange in the present management
of that institution
To say nothing Of the extravaganza
with which the institution has been
managed. the city owes 1t to its reputa-
ton to have the place cleaned out and
new men appointed to take charge Of
it. A man sent to the pest house is al
most helpless He can not communi-
cate with his friends outside. He is for
the time being ostracised- Even his LETT
ters can not safely be sent out If he
is stranger in the city. his condition
is pitiable. He can make his complaints
only to the city health officers, who for
ten months have been listening to such
complaints and have done nothing.
The city has opened its purse literally
to take care of the unfortunate people
who have to go to the pest house. The
city physician has been allowed to spend
money as he deemed best to provide for
the patients there. His bills have been
paid without murmur. And the bills
have all been large enough to insure
first class accommodations for the
patients If they had been 5adiciously
contracted.
It is not 1ikely that there would be
any complaint about the expense Of
running the pest house if the people Of
the city We're confident that the hospital
was run on q proper basis. Now that
the facts have been brought to light, it
must be admitted that things are in de-
pIorable condition, and the eity's liberal
expenditure Of money has been in vain.
The present city physician gives evil
dence of being a man whose intentions
are all right, but whose business ability
is defective. He has perhaps allowed
some of the employees of his department
to impose upon him as to existing con-
ditions. He no doubt sincerely regrets
the present state of affairs at the pest
house But he has allowed the present
condition to go undisturbed for ten
months. He has put his approval on all
the bills which have been paid for the
maintenance of the pest house. BY al
lowing the waste Of money and misman-
agement to continue, he has virtually
endorsed such things.
It has been decided that a new deten-
ton hospital shall be purchased. When
the change is made from the old house
to the new it will be an excellent op-
portunity to inaugurate a new regime.
Leave behind the unsavory events
which have trauspired for the past ten
months, and start anew. New officials
should be placed in charge. The city
physician should see to it that the BUSH
ness is done wisely and with economy.
