make the police judge an autocrat as
to the powers of cities. Any ordinance
passed by a city may come before the
police judge Striking out this section
makes his decision against its validity
final. The city attorney, mayor ana
council, unite in passing ordinances, and
it viii seldom happen that their cOmbin-
ed legal ability is less than that of the
police judge.
Nor is it sufficient to allow review
Of law questions by the district court
only. Tenderness for criminals has gone
far enough when it grants the defend
ant an appeal from the lowest court GD
to the highest in case of conviction
While denying the city any appeal from
an aequittal without also giving the
defendant the benefit of every mistake
of the court as to procedure or the sub
stantive law
For instance. in the experience of
Topeka alone an ordinance requiring
boarding house keepers to furnish names
of 5carders to the street commissioned
for the collection OF poll tax. was held
bad by the district court The quaS-
ton happened later to get before the
supreme court in another form, and they
held it good.
THE district court held an ordinance
based on the Hurrel law bad because u
certain section of the Hurrel law was
unconstitutional This compelled the
dismissal of some scores of police court
appeals AS soon as the section in ques-
ton happened to get before the supreme
court from another county it was held
good
The police judge inadvertently made
his docket entries show, for example. a
conviction on, say, the 5th of numerous
identical court cases. The district cOuIE
on appeal held the errors incurable, and
this necessitated another wholesale dis
charge
The district court has held that
cities cannot. under their authority to

erty to be used for theatrical purposes

The last two rulings do not happen
to have reached the supreme court, and
may not be erroneous. But they are at
least doubtful, and cities ought not to

la Dor and expense, without having a
right to settle the legal question au,
thcritatively. The section merely gives
cities the same right to prosecute pro-
ceedings in error to the supreme court
that the state now has in prosecutions
under state law criminal code, section
283) The enacting and publishing ano
enforcing of ordinances in cities of the
first class is a matter sufficiently seri-
Gus and labOriOus and expensive so that
it ought not to be overthrOwn by the
mistake Of a district judge; much less
ought it to be exposed to the perversity

TO KILL THE DOGS.
Townships May Make Tax Levy for
That Purpose

The prairie dog bill got through the
house after a short but sharp fight by
a vote of y to 5. 1t was introduced by
Jones of Trego, but when the bin was
in committee of the whole it was not en-
tirely satisfactory and DR.. Jones pre-
pared a substitute which he submitted
when the bill came up for passage. The
substitute was intended to satisfy all
objections to the original bill, but Buck
lin of Thomas did not like it and tried
to amend it. but was voted down
The blu as passed provides that in
townships infested with prairie dogs the
township trustees shall estimate the
amount necessary to exterminate the
dogs in their respective townships and
report the same to the county commits
sioners, who shall make township tax
levy for the purpose of exterminating
the pest.
Representative Barnd of Ness, made
the principal speech for the bill. Buck
lin wanted the dogs killed by individual
effort, but Barnd said this had been
found to be impracticable. Ohio .own-
ship, Ness county, made a practical. sys-
tematic test of the township plan and
exterminated every dog in the township
for $3.50 while individuals in other town
ships have spent as much. said Mr..
Barnd, without accomplishing anything.

RIOT CARTRIDGES.
Federal Government Now Ready to
Supply Them to the States.

Washington, Feb. 24-The war de-
partment has sent notices to governors
of each state that it is prepared tc-Sup-
ply them upon demand and according
to their legal allowances with riot
cartridges" This is a new form of am
munition prepared by the experts Of the
ordnance bureau to enable officers of
the law and soldiers to repel rioters with
the least possible loss of life to the in
nocent spectators
The shell is like that of the regular
shell used in the army rifle, with the
exception that instead of the long nickel
plated and steel clad bullet. two balls
are placed in the mouth. The design
was apparently to secure something OF
greater range than buckshot yet not
dangerous to persons at a distance. The
cartridge is charged with about 81
grains of smoIeless powder. The balls
are made of a mixture of lead and tin
in the proportion of Is to l. and are
slightly coated with paraffin The d.
ameter Of the ball is 0.3S inch, and the
weight is AZ grains. The service primer
for smokeless powder is used. The
cartridges have sufficient accuracy for
effective work al 200 yards.

and We regret that under this agree
ment, the men who mined the coal were
una bic to profit, but actually in some
instances, were losers. from the rise III
prices.
The distress of the ordinary consun-
erS mas been enhanced by the fact thai
the railroad companies have exercised
the power OF taking coal which was IN
their possession to be Transported, con-
signed to other people They have done
this without the exercise Of care Or
judgment and in many instances they
have taken and converted to their own
use state coal which was mined at the
state mines by state labor and consigned
10 state institutions. and in many other
instances they have taken coal which
caused great distress, when they might
probably have taken other coal. the loss
OF which would hardly have been felt
by the consignee
The railroad companies have taken
this coal on the assumption that they
had right to take coal whenever they
thought 1t necessary in order to keep
the road in operation, and especially to
keep the United States mails from be
ing delayed. They have taken it on the
same theory upon which was founded.
before the advent of the telephone or
telegraph, the right to take fuel by
transportation companies subject to
maritime law. We desire to submit that
there IS no analogy between the two
cases and we deny the right and de-
nounce the practice. A railroad COM
pany, with its telegraph facilities and
especially with its intimate connection
with coal mines, has every advantage In
the way Of procuring coal and laying in
an ADEQUATE supply thereof to meet every
emergency and we can see no reason
why a railroad company should not be
compelled to buy its coal the same as
anyone else
We, therefore, recommend that the
taking Of coal by railroad company.
which has been placed in its hands for
transportation, be made a crime, wheth-
er It is consigned to a state institution
or private individual.
The testimony before us has shown
that the state institutions have not been
adequately supplied with coal. for the
reason that the output of the state mine
is limited. and the state institutions did
not take the trouble and Drecaution to
lay in an adequate supply during the
summer time. Unless a reasona bic sup.
ply is laid by in the summer time, the
mine at the state penitentiary can not
provide sufficient amount Of coal un-.
der the present circumstances to keep
the state institutions supplied during
the winter. On account of the situation
of the coal lands owned by the state at
the present time, it is impossible to en-
In our judgment. other lands should be
purchased, so that more men can be en-
ployed when necessary and advisable in
mining coal
The evidence of experienced operators
shows that, with the proper precautions
and facilities, the bituminous coal IN
Kansas may be stored with safety and
economy by the state Institutions It is
our opinion that this should be done"

WON'T STAND IT.
Topeka Labor Unions Object to Mayor
Endorsanent

It does not seem likely that the eff
forts of the Trades Council to "en-
dorse" a candidate for mayor will
amount to much F. A. Lewis has the
endorsement all right. and the other
candidates say he is welcome to what
ever there is in it. The trouble is that
the separate unions refuse to stand
hitched to the dictates of the Trades
Council.
Three important unions held meetings
last night, and each one repudiated the
action of the Trades Council Union
men make the further claim, as stated
in the State Journal several days ago.
that the action of the Trades Council
is the result of a political scheme foist-
ed on the council by one or two men
who have political ambitions and hope
to ride into office on a union labor po-
litical movement. 1t is not likely that
the endorsement of Lewis by the
Trades Council Will be worth a great
many votes.
The unions which repudiated the en-
dorsement last night were the paper
hangers, BARRIERS and builders. The
builders and BARRIERS simply sidetrack-
ed the Trades Council resolutions by
saying that they do not want to mix up
in politics. The paperhangers passed
the following resolutions;
Whereas The Trades and Labor
council of Topeka did endorse the can
didacy of F. A. Lewis for mayor at the
Republican primaries to be held on
March II, 1903. and thereby sought TO
blind the labor unions of this city and
the individual members thereof, to sup
port the candidacy of said Lewis; there
fore be it
"Resolved, BY the Painters and Pa
perhangers' union No. Sc that we re-
pudiate said endorsement so made as
/ aforesaid: and be it further
Resolved, That the members of this
union are not bound to support said f.
A. Lewis for mayor but may support
such candidate as they may individ-
uallv choose to support; and be it
Resolved. That we condemn the ac-
/ ton of the said Trades and Labor coun-
ell in attempting TO drag the labor
unions of this city into party politics,
and that We believe such action to be
/ detrimental to the best interests of the
/ Ia boring interests of Topeka"

LEWIS Ar A MEETING.
He Attends Meeting Last Night at
Chiles' Hall.

Frank Lewis attended the meeting
last night at Chiles' hall. corner of
Twelfth and Washington streets in the
Fifth ward. It was not distinctly a
Lewis meeting, and no formal action was
taken endorsing that gentleman for
the office of mayor Secretary Joe
Clemens of the Roosevelt Republican
club. which managed the meeting. says:
Tt is generally understood that all
the members of the club will vote for
Lewis. The majority want Lewis, and
all the members vote as directed by
the majority
The principal source of excitement
at the meeting last night seems
to have been the fight which was
made on c. H. Kutz, candidate for
