MAYOR ROSE IN CONTEMPT
Sapreme Court of Kansas Assessed
His Fine at $1,000.
4ad Been Caster from Office il
Kansas City, Kan, for ViO-
IatiOns of Law.

Topeka, Kan. - The supreme court
of Kansas handed down an opinion
Friday morning in which it found w.
W. Rose, mayor of Kansas City, Kan :,
guilty of contempt fo~ holding office
from which he had been ousted by the
court. For this breach OF respect to
the highest legal tribunal in the state
the court fined Mayor Rose $1,000, to
be paid within 20 days If the fine
is not paid within that time Rose is to
be committed to the Shawnee county
Jail at Topeka and be kept there until
the fine is paid.
The final paragraph of the opinion
in which the judgment is contained
is as follows: 1.-THE contention that
to deprive the defendant of the right
to hold the office for the remainder
of the term is to take away a right
from him without due process of law
is not well founded He is Only made
to suffer the penalty imposed for mis-
conduct in office and violating the
law. The office is created by statute.
The grounds of forfeiture are de-
scribed by statute and the statue pro-
vides the method by which the forfeit
IRE is declared. He has no vested
right to the Office, and especially
none which may not be forfeited and
lost by misdeeds. Having violated
the statute he must suffer the penal
ty which the statute prescrjbes. Hav-
ing disobeyed and violated the judg-
ment lawfully rendered and still in
force. he is in contempt Of this court
and will therefore be adiudged to pay
a fine of $1,000 and the costs of these
proceedings. and if the fine and costs
are not paid within 20 days he SHALL
be committed to the Jail of Shawnee
county until they are paid"
Mayor Rose was ousted from his
office by the Kansas supreme court be-
cause of his failure to close the liquor
Joints and also because he knowingly
permitted a system of police fines on
the iointkeepers which virtually Ii
censed them to sell liquor in the city
IN violation of the Kansas prohibitory
liquor law.
The custer decree, given April, 6,
clearly specified that Rose was ineli-
eible to hold the Office of mayor for the
entire term of two years for which
he was elected, dating from April u,
1903
Mayor Rose anticipated such de-
cision, and three days before it was
given he sought to evade it by re-
signing his Office.
A special election was called to fill
the vacancy at which Rose became a
candidate for the position and was
elected. He has since continued to
perform the duties Of mayor in de-
finance of the courts order

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
