nOEs TT APPLY

Carr Taylor, attorney for the State
Board of Railroad Commissioners, says
he doubts if the Kansas law prohibit
ing determinations by the railroads
applies to the giving of passes.
Mr.. Taylor's opinion is entitled to
consideration. inasmuch as he is sup
posed to give matters pertaining to
railroads special attention, but some
very eminent attorneys are inclined to
differ from Mr.. Taylor.
If Mr.. Taylor's theory is correct,
why should the law proceed to make
an exception of certain classes to whom
it says passes may be given? IL the
law were not intended to prohibit the
general giving of passes, why does 1T
make the proviso that special rates
or free passes may be given to the
Kansas National Guard, ministers. rail-
road officials and employees and in
mates Of charitable institutions?
This exception makes it very plain
that the law prohibits the giving of
passes to any except these classes.
with the further exception, provided
for elsewhere. of the officials con-
nected with the Board of Railroad
Commissioners.
The exception is contained in Section
- CAoptcA oFV' oSsSloaa Laws VI 1SDo'
The law prohibits the granting of any
special privilege to any person, or any
other form of preference. but the ex-
eeption says:
Nothing herein or in the act to
which this is supplemental shall !.

special rates or free transportation to
the officers and members of the Kan
sas National Guard to ministers of re-
Hgion. Inmates of hospitals, eleemosy-
nary or charitable institutions. or to

CTosTNG THE JoINTs.

The most important point proved by
the closing of the joints Monday morn
ing is that Chief Goodwin can close
them. He could have done so long ago.
Having demonstrated this fact there
will be no possible excuse if he allows
them to run openly in the future.
The State Journal must confess that
it has little faith in a method of law
enforcement which simply requests
iaw-breakers to stop their Illegal ac-
lions and which does not punish them
for crimes already committed. 1t is too
much like asking a professional thief
to stop stealing and not Furnishing him
for past thefts. The jointists themselves
also seem to have little faith in the ae-
tion of the city administration and they
think it will soon pass over, but the APP
pointment of Judge T. F. Carver as an
assistant attorney general may change
the aspect of the situation for them.
No one doubts that Judge Carver will
do his utmost to not only stop liquor
selling in Shawnee county, but also to
punish the law-brealzers. The severe
punishment of the persistent offenders
would do more to break up liquor SELL
ing than any amount Of notification to
stop. There must be a little Governor
sulting in landing the law-breakers be-
| hind the bars.
While Judge Carver is assistant at
torney general it is not probable that
there will be any attempt to run open
joints, but there will be more or less
! of the hole-in-the-wall and "blind
tiger business, and the joint drug
stores will probably try to run as
usual. Upon Judge Carver will de-
volve the more difficult task of put
ting stop to that class of violations.
1t cannot be denied that it is extremely
difficult to entirely stop bootlegging-
it is more difficult even than to stop
thieving. for the average jury requires
far stronger evidence to convict OF
liquor selling than to convict of theft
In some counties it is almost impossible
to get a jury that will convict q joint
