THAT FAMOUS TAVERN.

And now Bishop Potter explains why
he dedicated" certain saloon In New
York He says he regards the saloon
as necessary eyil. and he believes that
there is, at present no other ehiectual
way Of nghtIng IT, than by substituting
for IL some respectable institution.
But this explanation does not satisfy
some Of his critics. who regard Il as
mortal Sin not TO view the question

The entire question is really the old
one, between temperance advocates and
total abstainers, Both have the same
aim both recognize the EVIL OF intem-
perance. But the temperance people
claim that the evil must be gradually
rooted out by educational methods and
good example while the teetotalers
maintain that nothing hut total abb
stinence win ever reach the evil They
are IN favor Of force through laws and
statutes, while the others believe In the
force OF moral suaslon. II IL the ques-
ton that was so generally discussed In
connection with the army canteen.
Some demanded It's abolition, while 9TH
ers held that the canteen was less dan
gerous less degrading to the soldier
than the low saloon that was sure to
take It's place.
Bishop Potter happens 10 be on the
temperance side Of the question, and
no. on the abolition side. which he con-
siders impractlcable We can see no
reason Tor condemnlng him to Tophet
on that account, even If II must be adj

never be regarded az legitimate cler-

IS 1T PossIaLE 3?

We must confess surprise al the con-
templated action Of the city Council, M
regard to one provision Of the ordinance
regulating the sale Of intoxicating
drinks. II is well known that there
has been a fierce dispute between thu
saloon-keepers and the druggists and
restauranterB over the discrepancy
between their respective license fees.
An attempt was made to bring them
together for a mutual arrangement,
that might be adopted by the City
Council But this failed entirely, and
the parties representative separated
without coming to any basis Of settle
Inent.
One OF the grievances Of the saloon
Keepers was and Is, that women are
barred from entering their places OF
business after o'clock in the evening,
but may go to restaurants ana drug
stores where drinks can be obtained
up to any hour OF the night, those
places paying only reduced licepse
fee. They charge that intoxicants are
sold at these places and thus they have
an unfair advantage over the saloons
the latter paying $1,000 year license
and the former only $500 year,
The proposition is nov made that
white the present provisions regulating
the sale of liquor at drug stores and
restaurants shall remain and be en-
forced, the ordinance shall be so
amended that women will be allowed
ia enter and frequent saloons until
midnight! Is Il possible that there are
enough members Of the City Council
elected to voice and carry out the will
OF the citizens, to pass such an amend
ment? We hope not, II would settle
their status with the people for
ever. II would be flying directly
in the face of overwhelming general
sentiment 1t would raise r storm OF
indignation and show disposition TO
pander 10 the lowest saloon element
The remedy for the unfarness COM
planned Of by the saloon keepers is the
present form Permitting women to
frequent saloons as well as restaurants
TN midnight Will not reach the point
presented as a grievance. It win but
aggravate the evll said TO exist IN rrs-
tnurants. II cannot fan TO prove de-
moralizing We do not believe that Us
what even tho saloon keepers desire.
They want to shut on the flow OF
liquors In places that are not licensed
tu do saloon business. They have
a real grievance This proposed change
viii not meet It at all
We hope that the members Of the
city Council who have respect to the
wishes Of the majority Of the people
Of this city and regard Tor order and
morality, win rise against this propo-
sition 10 throw cpon tho saloon doors
FOR women tll midnight and then SIT
down so hard upon It that It win be
nattened 10 rs death,
The whole difficulty lies in the alleged
Nrong of permitting drug stores and

THEY ARE BETTE R
Mr.. and Mrs. w. j. Black to
Leave This Afternoon.
Will Be I'm Topeka This
Evening.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. J. Black, who were
victims of the Missouri Pacific wreck
at Upton, Mo-, Sunday morning and
who have since been at the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas railway hospital at
Sedalia. Mo-, will reach their home in
Topeka tonight. They were to have
come to Topeka yesterday but at the
last minute the doctors advised against
Mrs. Black making the trip at that
time, so the return to their home was
postponed until today. The special
train consisting of an engine and Gen
eral Manager H. u. Mudge's private
car left Sedalia at 2:30 o'clock and will
reach Topeka tonight at about 1880
O'Clock.
At 1920 o'clock today the State Jour
nal talked with DE-. E. F. Yancey, chief
surgeon of the hospital, over the long
distance telephone. He said:
'Mr. Black is doing nicely. Mrs.
Blacks condition is possibly a little i'm
proved over last night, although her
condition is not as encouraging as we
would like to see. Her temperature is
no immediate danger, and 1T now seems
likely that it will not be necessary for
an operation for the amputation of the
right foot
The special train bearing Mr.. and
Mrs. Black and party is scheduled to
arrive at Kansas City from Sedalia at
5:15 this afternoon. The train will at
once be switched to the Santa Fe
tracks, and within 5 minutes of the
time it reaches Kansas City, it will
again be en- route to Topeka. The
train will make no stops and it is an
ticipated that the run will be made
from Kansas City to Topeka in about
an hour and a half. Possibly longer
running time will be required, but the
train will reach Topeka about
O'Clock, or not later than 1880 o'clock.
Preparations have been made at the
Santa Fe hospital for the reception of
Mr.. and Mrs. Black. The special
train will be stopped near the Sixth
Black may be taken to the hospital
with the least possible annoyance.
In the party with Mr.. and Mrs
Black on Mr.. Mudge's private car are:
DR.. J. P. Kaster. chief surgeon of the
Santa Fe; Nat Black, brother of the
injured man; Mr.. and Mrs. Atchison
of Leavenworth, parents of Mrs. Black,
and Mrs Blacks sisters, Miss Lottie
and Miss Gertrude Atch1son; George
T. Nicholson, general traffic manager
of Chicago; George Hagenouch OF
Kansas City, and others.
A general feeling of relief is felt
among Mrs. Blacks friends in Topeka
at the report that she Will nkeIy not
have to lose her right foot. No little
anxiety and regret has been heard
upon all sides on account OF tne SER
Gus accident and a number OF social
functions which were planned in To-
peka by friends of Mrs. Black, nave
been called off
Everv possible move is being made
to make things pleasant for Mrs. black
unon her return to Topeka. Rooms
have been temporarily prepared at the
hospital for her and sne VIII receive
+he hest medical attention and care
that is possible to secure.

WORKED THE LIVERY MAN
Two Little Girls Enjoyed an Afternoon
at His Expense.

E. w. Newell the liveryman at 922
Kansas avenue, is spending his spare
moments in meditating on the uncer-
tainty of first impressions.
Monday afternoon two little girls.
neither of them more than eleven years
of age appeared at his establishment
and said that mamma had sent them
for a horse and buggy, and would he
please have the horse gentle?
Certainly. Mr.. Newell hitched the
gentlest nag he had to a nice little
stanhope. and then said ne would drive
out to mammals for them. oh, no. He
needn't go to the trouble, said one OF
the Cherubs, because she could drive.
When she used to live on the farm she
always drove. As he was alone at the
barn, and knew that the horse was a
safe proposition even for infants,
Newell let them drive away with his
rig. He watched closely as they start
ed, and saw that the little girl knew
how to drive, and then, for a few hours,
dismissed the incident from his mind.
After while Mrs. Newell chanced to
go down town, and she saw tne Two
angelic children driving around on
Kansas avenue. When she reported this
to her husband, he began to read be-
tween the lines. Why was mamma not
with them? And the echo answered,
Why. So Mr. Newell waited with re-
newed anxiety for his rig. Night came,
and no rig. Then a colored druggist
from across the street came over, and
said that some child. had telephoned to
him to tell the liVeryInan that the horse
and buggy were at Fifteenth street and
Topeka avenue. Newell went out, but
found nothing. 1t was a false alarm
About 9 o'clock a boy drove the rig into
the barn. and said that a little girl. he
didn't know her name, had commission
ed him to deliver the goods AS an ex-
cuse for not bringing it herself. the girl
told the boy that she was afraid the
liveryman would charge her for over
time she-cames-A-<~>- <~>----------.sz- =
Its the queerest case of the. kind l
ever heard Of says Newell. Think OF
those two cherubs. not big enough to
be away from their mother, but big
enough to work a ffim-fiam game. Just
think of it."

POLITICAL GOSSIP
Apathy Stories Not Borne Out
by Appearances.
RegistratiOn Larger Than 1t
Was Two Years Ago.
GREATER THAN IN 1900
Estimated Increase Is Over Five
Per Cent.
Comments Bearing on the Pres
sent Campaign.

The registration figures from most
Kansas towns do not seem to bear out
the belief that there is SO much apathy
among the voters this year that the
vote will be extremely light. Almost
without exception the registration is
considerably larger than that of two
years ago, and taken as a whole it
seems to be greater than that of the
last presidential election.
Leavenworth and Newton show a
considerable falling off from the re-
gistration of 1900, and Salina and OF
tawa lack a few votes of as many as in
that year, but all show an increase
over the registration of two years ago.
Pittsburg. Atchison, Wichita, Win
field and Hutchison report the largest
registration in their history, while the
gas belt towns have of course, many
more than ever before.
The registration in Wichita this
year is 1853, which is 1850 more than
ever before.
In Hutchinson the registration is now
2.7S3, which is 453 more than it was
in the spring of 1908, when it reached
the highest point heretofore, owing to
big fight in a city election.
A list of seven towns where the re-
gistration is given for 1904 and 1900
1904 as against 25,13 four years ago,
a gain of 1,402 over the last presiden-
tial election. This list does not in
c1ude any gas towns.
A list of five towns showing the re-
gistration this year as compared with
1902, gives a total af 16, 075 this year
as against 1880 two years ago.
This would indicate that the regis
tration in the towns this year is 511
per cent greater than in 1900, and 712
per cent greater than in 1902 If these
figures hold good the apathy is not as
great as the campaign managers have
been led to believe. People may not
have been as enthusiastic as they have
been before, but the fact that they reg
lister indicates that they intend to vote.
These figures, of course, apply only
to the larger towns. 1t is possible that
the farmers and residents of the small
er town may take less interest in the
election than those in the big towns,
but that is doubtful. If the registra-
tion is any criterion it would look as
though the vote this year will be up to
that of 1900.
The following table shows the regis
tration this year in some of the larger
towns of the state. with the compara-
tive registration for 1902 and 1900 where

PEPPER IN EYES.
BIanch Boies Treated Fritz Durein to
a Surprise.

Miss Blanche Boies who is serving
80 day sentence in the county jail Tor
Joint smashing treated the prisoners to
a Halloween entertainment last night
by throwing a handful of red pepper
in the face of Fritz Durein who was
visiting the Jail to see women VINO
are confined there. Miss BoieS had re-
quested him not to pause at her door;
this he persisted in doing, and he re
ceived a shower of pepper full in the
face.
Fritz retreated using. what Miss Boies
calls profane language and keeping up
the flow and rubbing his eyes to the
amusement of the others until Jaller
Patterson called him down.
When Jailer Lawson came TINS morn
ing he called Miss Boies onto the carpet
and treated her to long lecture
threatening her with quarters in the
lower part of the jail if anything or
the kind should occur again. Miss
Boies, undaunted as usual, made no
promise, but said, IF he is allowed 10
stop at my door there is likely to be
consequences"
