favor Of the enforcement Of law Whens
within 80 feet Of where the delegates
sat, a bar for the sale of Intoxicating
liquors was in fun blast with its three
bar tenders busy supplying drink to any
and all who paid the price. Yet, with
such conditions well known to all, it is
impossible for the assistant attorney
general to obtain a conviction of a joint
keeper by jury, supposedly drawn
from the taxpaying reputable citizens
OF Shawnee county.
This state Of chronic rebellion is be-
coming tiresome to the law-abiding cit
liens Of the state and the query is be-
ing asked more and more every day.
why the immunity enjoyed by the Grim
inal classes Of Shawnee county? Is
there a political deal whereby, IN con-
sideration Of protection from prosecu-
ton. these people cast their votes and
give their influence toward the continu-
ance Of certain elements in control of
the affairs of this and other counties
where the same condition exists, and al
so hold the balance OF power in state
affairs?
why not suppress this rebellion? It
can be done. There is no more hypo-
critical, knavish cry than that old stale
lie sentiment is against it, Nonsense
Public sentiment has not been aroused.
It is still sleeping. True, it has spas
modic housings from its slumbers, and
threshes around like a boy in a night
mare, but the people have grown so ac-
customed to letting the bosses do their
thinking and voting in other matters
that they have forgotten to take hold of
this. All that is needed is for the real
public. the church going. law abiding,
property owning people to combine and
demand that the law be enforced ana it
VIII be.
This is a question that affects the
welfare of the entire state It is NOT
merely local issue for Topeka alone.
but it is matter of vital concern to
the great commonwealth Of Kansas.
because from this center OF disobedi-
enee to law radiates q poisonous at
mosphere that vitiates the moral tone
of the political life Of the state. Let
Topeka clean house and rid herself of
her saloons and places of i'll fame, and
then her press will have right to talk
of conditions elsewhere in the state"

The recent acQuittals of known law
breakers in the Shawnee county district
court Is. resulting in much unfavorable
comment concerning Topeka over the
state. Topeka is the state capital and
aside from the wrong that has been
done in encouraging the violation of
law. this city can hardly AFFORD to gain
the sort of a reputation that the joint
acouittals are giving It.
A number of Kansas newspapers have
commented on the way things are going
here in Topeka, and have warned US
that IL Topeka expects any favors at the
hands Of the state, it must insist upon
obedience to the law. And the Topeka
newspapers can make no defense. For
instance, here is an editorial under the
heading. Law Enforcement" from the
Olathe Mirror:
Topeka is calling upon the remainder
of the state to aid her In the establish
rnent of a semicentennial exposition and
her. papers are spelIbinding for a clean
er city, and a greater city. but the peo-
pie Of the state at large WIN not be very
enthusiastic IN these directions until
they see evidences of an effort on the
part Of Topeka to become a law-abid-
ing city and enforce the laws of the
state impartially, without fear or favor.
The condition Of affairs in Topeka on
the confession OF its own papers. and
the reported trials of criminals Is a
disgrace to the community which calls
itself Christian and pretends to have q
regard for the rights Of others.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

The only way most Of US can get rich

not letting others have any.
It makes a man awful proud to feel
he has no pride the way other people
hare.
No matter how many times you lose

A man who stays unmarried is a
good deal smarter than ne viii ever

they probably fret him as much as
ErewE people do.
