AN ANSWER ASKED.
Does County Own Property in Which
joint Is Operated?.

A subscriber who gives her name and
address to this paper writes on the sub
ject;
To the Editor of the State Journal:
VIII you kindly give space in your paper
for a few questions regarding matter
that it seems every person in Shawnee
county and the city of Topeka has right
to be interested in?
In your paper of May 16 there was an
account of the police raiding a place that
you called a dive at the corner of FIT
teenth and Lake streets, on Sunday night
May "A. We don't know what was done
about it, but we do know the place has
seemed to be running since and a dis
turbance was started there Sunday, June
II, in which a man pounded a woman bad
" with his fists and she had him arrested.
We understand from the records in the
county treasurer's office that the taxes
have not been paid on that property for
eleven years and that the county holds
the title
Now the question is: Has the county
a right to keep such place or to allow
such place to be kept on county property
and are the county and city officials ig-
norant Of the facts, or are they helpless
in such a case?
Please answer through the columns of
the State Journal and enlighten the public

THEY WILL NOT FIGHT.
Swedish WorI1men VIII Strike if
Called to Take Up Arms.

Stockholm, Sweden. June 1.-THE at
titude of the laboring classes is likely
to prove a potent factor in overcoming
any possible disposition on the part of
a section Of the riksdag to suggest the
adoption OF coercive measures toward
Norway and in influencing the chamber
in favor Of accepting the dissolution of
the union Of Norway and Sweden.
Swedish labor unions are daily tele-
graphing to Norwegian unions saying
they will refuse to take up arms and
the social democratic party has issued
a proclamation to the working classes
reading:
1t becomes more apparent daily that
the upper classes and reactionary news
papers are attempting to cultivate
sentiment hostile to Norway with the
view to calling the people to arms
against her in her struggle for liberty
The proclamation says it is the firm
decision Of the working men not to re-
spOnd to a call to arms and asserts
that they intend to go out on strike
over the whole country if the riksdag
comes to such decision. In conclusion
the proclamation calls upon the laborfng
classes throughout Sweden to manifest
their opinion of the situation at public
meetings.

KENNETH WON HIS SUIT.
Was the other Mans Record That
was UnintelIigibIe.

The action of the supreme court
Saturday in the suit of Homer Ken
nett, of Concordia, against the Penn
sylvania railroad is favorable to Mr..
Kennett instead of to the railroad
company. The court DISMISSED the
appeal because the record in the case
was unintelligible.
Mr. Kennett had a claim against
the Pennsylvania road, but as he was
in Kansas and it operated a long way
from Kansas he could get no satisfac-
ton from it. One day he saw a
Pennsylvania car in the railroad yards
at Concordia, and he got out an at
tachment for it, tying the car up
there. That brought the company to
time. In the action in court Mr.. Ken
nett won in both the Justices court
and also when the railroad company
went to the district court. Then the
case was carried to the supreme court
by the company, and the dismissal of
the appeal there allows the judgment
of the district court in Mr.. Kennett's
favor to stand.
Mr.. Kennett, by the way, is himself
one of the leading lawyers of north
ern Kansas. He is the senior mem
Der of the law firm of Kennett &
Peck, his partner being Senator
Charles N. Peck of the Cloud-Repub-
lie senatorial district.

negotiations for peace is the extreme
reserve evinced by all having to DO
with them. Sources of news which
hitherto have been unfailing now are
closed to the 1nquiring newspaper
mind. Some officials decline to an
swer what appear to be the most in
nocent inquiries, If they relate in the
remotest degree to the peace nego-
tations.
As an instance of the cloaking of
all the negotiations with secrecy,
newspaper man, noticing a carriage
standing in front of the White House,
inquir I'd of a subordinate if the Jap
anese minister was in conference with
the president. The subordinate de-
clined to answer. explaining that he
had received explicit orders not to fur
nish to anybody information bearing
on the peace negotiations. Expecting
the identity of the caller, the news
paper man waited until he emerged
from the White House. 1t was Minis
ter Takahira. Even the officials of
the government occupying high posi-
tions, including cabinet officers, who,
ordinarily, exercise some initiative in
talking to the newspaper men whom
they trust, are as sealed books regard
ing the simplest phases of the pending
