GIVEN TOO MUCH.
Judge Hazen Doesn't Like Jury Award

$50, while the verdict was for $3.50. Judge
Hazen viii hold up the motion for a new

NO ADDITIONAL SALOONS.
Wichita Now Has a Sufficient Num-

Der.
Wichita has handled the saloon ques-
ton for some time past in a very salts
factory way, so far as the average tax
payer is concerned, and in a way the
least Objectionable TO those who would
rather take chances with the secret joint
and Illicit hole than with a licensed sa-
Icon under any conditions. There has
been no Sunday selling, little If any
street drunkenness and no rowdyism, not
so much of these things as are found
in towns and cities of bootleg and drug
shop traffic The saloons have been con-
fined to certain limits, or rather forbid
den the shopping squares which women
and children frequent. 1t is said that
a petition is out, or will be out, or that
an effort is to be made to locate or open
a saloon inside the prohibited district.
This should not be permitted by the au-
thorities. or it otherwise should be shut
out in some other legal manner. The
fact is Wichita has enough saloons now.
too many for profit to some Of the pro-
rrietors. we suspect. To increase the
number of saloons is liable to weaken
the present surveillance and good order.
ANY looseness, stopping over, or dodg-
ing the prompt payment of fines will re-
suit in trouble for all those now engaged
in the business. Any increase in the
number of drinking places, especially on
business streets, in rendering those who
are paying stiffly for their privilege dis
satisfied, will lead to such looseness in
the traffic as will engender disorder and
legal trouble. The slot machine is gone
not be increased seems to US a propo-
sition which will not only be endorsed by
business man and taxpayer generally
but even by the saloonkeepers them
selves. Let those who want to break
into traffic buy out some place already
established. In short, under the policy
by Mayor Mclean Wichita has been the
most orderly city in the state, so far
as drinking and drunkenness are con-
cerned and we make no exceptions. We
should keep it that way, and the surest
way to do is to stand pat, by letting good
enough alone.
Our informant may be mistaken as
to any movement being made to increase
the number of saloons or as to the sup
where there are none now, as he was
unable to prove names or designate the
localities. If such be the fact this warn
majority sentiment of the city, will do
no harm or prove at all untimely

COMES UNDER
LOTTERY LAW
Trading Stamps Alleged to be
Gift Enterprises.
CITY COUNCIL TO ACT
Ordinance Being Prepared to
Prohibit Their Use.

City Attorney Helm is preparing an or
dinance to submit to the city council
meeting Monday night that will prohibit
the managers of trading stamp concerns
from operating in this city. This action
was taken at the request of the larger
number OF the most prominent merchants
of this city.
The owners and managers of the larger
stores met and appointed committee TO
see Mr.. Helm and investigate the mat
ter and see what steps could be taken
to put a stop to the trading stamp bust
ness. Some of the merchants are said to
have found this an expensive and inef-
fective way of advertising and those who
did not use the stamps found that it
worked hardship on them.
The city now has an ordinance making
the license to do business in this city
by trading stamp concerns twenty-five
dollars per year. 1t was thought for
time that a license tax could be made
so high as to be prohibitive. but some
Of the merchants have said that in talk
ing over this matter with trading stamp
managers that the letter stated that they
could pay license Of one thousand dol
lars a year and prosper. If this was
so the city could not enforce this ordt-
nance without q long legal battle and
some other means was necessary. Mr..
Helm began looking up the law on the
matter and he is OF the opinion that the
trading stamp business can be prohibited
in Wichita under state and also q ma
llonal law prohibiting gift enterprises or
schemes OF the nature of lotteries and
it Is under this law that the city ordi-
nance viii be prepared and submitted
to the council and 1t is believed that II
can be enforced. The state laws give
cities of the hrst-class some options in
these matters and although the trading
stamp business has never been before
the courts as a lottery scheme this will
compel them to go out OF business or
begin proceedings to have the law defined
and what enterprises are and are not lot
teries or do not come under the head of
prohibits
