Failure to Enforce Prohibition Law In.
 S Topeka the Cause.

Failure to Enforce Prohibition Law I'm
 s Topeka the Cause. P Topeka, Kan, Nov. 21.-Suits to oust from office A. B. Kirkwood, mayor of Pittsburg, Kansas, and F. W. Odweil, mayor of Junction City, Kansas, for failure to enforce the State prohibition law and against the cities of Pittsburg and Junction City to prohibit them as lSnunicipalities and their officers from collecting licenses from "joints'' or il- 1icit saloons were filed here this after moon In the Kansas Supreme Court by Attorney General c. c, Coleman. These suits are similar to that filed against Mayor Rose, or Kansas City which finally resulted in his being busted from office.
 While Attorney General Coleman re- fused to discuss his future plans. it is generally assumed the filing of the suits today. means that other suits of a like nature will follow against the mayor of every city and town in the State, where the prohibition law is being violated. It Is known that pa- pers have alref(ly been drawn up in a petition to oust Mayor Goodlander of Fort Scott,
 The most fragrant violations of tho prohibition law are in the cities of Wichita, Leayenworth, Fort Scott and Topeka, but most towns in the State are Involved. In Topeka, however. con- trary to the custom in most cities and towns, the city does not derive any revenue from the joints.

SUGGESTIVE LANGUAGE.

For suggestive but thoroughly decent editorial expression The Brooklyn Eagle stands deservedly high, It is making a persistent demand for the resignation of Senator Platt. and in recent editor- ial it says; ...
 The cIeanest possible statement of the facts, which disquaiify him even from toleration, makes news columns "difRi- cult" The enforcement of the. demand in editorials requires that the tacts In news columnslbe referred to without re-
 New York never has been soiled with a senatorial offender of this sort be- fore. New York has been offended with York are practical, and have fortitude. The women uf New York are decent. delicate and religious. The children of New York should be able to converse with their parents about the state s legislators at Washington and Albany. MT. Plat Is Senator. He has made converse between parents and children about him impossible He has made Immigration. He has made the Senate the residence of a reproach to the de- gree that it Is a covert for him.
 Not a line or a word there to which the most refined reader could object, yet 1t leads the reader to imagine Platt as occupying one of the lowest levels of humanity. The language suggests that he is personally, as well as poiit- icaIly and financially, a being utterly without character. It leaves all to the imagination. but leads that imagIna- tion along paths of which 1t would not do for high toned journal to speak It makes no charge against him in words but, fills the miud with sugges- tfens of crimes too foul to speak of. It suggests a beast without describ- Ing any of inc beasts habits or char aeteristics.

An Article That Seems To Have Sanc-
 tiOn of Democratic Committee. Washington Special.
 cal letter, which is sent out under the apparent sanction Of the Democratic Congressional Committee, by the Com mittee's Secretary, Charles A. Edwards, and which goes to the Democratic weekly newspapers of the country, makes an attack on William Randolph Hearst. s
 overlook the Democracy in the recent campaign, Secretary Edwards speaks of the Independent voters and the part they played in the loss of the House of Representative to the Democrats.
 The man who is primarily responsi- ble for this condition, not only in New York, but in Illinois and California, is one William Randolph Hearst. His de. feat in New York and the election of overy other Democratic candidate on the ticket on which he ran is proof positive that the people do not want that kind of Independence which threw down the nominees of the party not calculated to do what he advocates
 MT. Hearst has placed himself out side the pale of regularity in the Dem' ocratic Party, and he must take the consequences of his defeat. While MT. Hearst has done as much as any other human being to call the trusts to ac- count sheT up thee hs n9Sie b ana Go ions of his so-called Independence League Party to inJure the Demoeratic Party that could have accomplished things, and he refused to call on his dogs of war"
 The writer invites the natonal Demo- racy to nominate in 1908, man like Charles A. Culberson of Texas, or John Sharp Williams, and win victory that will reverberate from Tadmore to Yubadam."
 MT. Edwards is clerk to the minority organization of the House of Represen- tatives, of which John Sharp Williams is leader. The letter was sent out un- der the letter-head of the Democratic Congressional Committee.
 The weekly letter is said to have been the idea originally or MT. Hearst and was financed by him until after the Democratic national convention oi 1904. Prior to that event, which marked the end of MT. Hearsts Presidential boom, he paid the expenses of sending out the letter and otherwise encOur- aged Secretary Edwards. When the convention was over MT. Hearst lost in terest in the bureau.

that he proposes to defy public opinion, to defy common decency, and hold to his office regardless of the opinion the world may form of him, So far as his acts as a Senator were concerned that opinion crystalized long since and it was far from complimentary to him as an official in high place. He has been plIloried before the country in q light that would have made 1t impos- sible for any man with high sense of hsnor to retain the position he holds, but his cuticle was imperyious to any darts that could be directed against 1t by people or press.
 We have not kept m touch with Platt's unofficial life so far as to know what he has been guilty of that clean newspaper could not put in print, but whatever it is, and whatever the charges may be at which The Eagle so plainly hints, it is not probable that they will have any more effect on him than did tho plain language of the newspapers when referring to his offi- cial lapses. He will hang on as long as the tenure of office will keep him unless the Senate should consider 1t necessary to declare his seat vacant. and that is not to be expected

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The President Was Right.
 Montromery. Ala. Nov.

Editor Advertiser: .
 1t is a fair inference to say, that if it eaapeSH ead egsn of %hife soldiers that left their camp 7atF sBIownsville, Texas as did the negro company, or soldiers or the negro company, and shot up the town, murdering and wounding the white people,, as the negro soldiers did, that the officers of the white Company or battalion could have round out the guilty ones.
 Every soldier of1t he gnitsd States ,..s IS to truthfully answer all questions from those who have a right to ask them questions s. && ehIt# 1,i occurreneer at the hanas sofgthe sol- diers, wearing Uncle Sams uniform, ever took place in the United States. Had white soldiers committed. this, the first outrage of the kind ever conn mltted by soldiers wearing the United States uniform, and the officers of the battalion, and the men in the same, re- fused information as 70 those commit ting the outrage, President Roosevelt would have undoubtedly taken the same course with them as he did with
 Any man who ever had army service, knows that the men guilty of the Brownsville outrage, are known to when this battalion refuses to give the information then every man in the battalion becomes a party to the crime, and the President would have been re- creant to the army, as it's commander in chief, if he had failed to order the muster out of the battalion, just as he did.
 And now, Taft, a candidate for Presi- dent, says halt. The nebroes will de- sert the Republican Party, if this or der is carrier out and then how far will Republican politicians not go to hold power?
 The future alone can tell.
 It is now up to the President to mus ter Taft out. Will he do 1t?

Our Railroad Problem

Birminghahm Age-Hera1d. N.
 The address of Samuel Spencer President of the Southern Railroad, de liyered before the Alabama Agricultu- ral Association at Montgomery, deserves consideration. MT. Spencer speaks from wide experience. He was born in Columbus, Ga, and his entire active life has been given to the management of railroads chiefly in this, section oi
 He discusses the @ate question ir the hroadest manner, admitting US complexity and asserting that the in- terests of the railroad and of its pat rons are identical. "One" he says ''canrlot prosper without the the other The railroads must do justice to the people. The people should do justice to the railroad" Difficult as the rate problem is, it loses some of it's per piexities when approached in the broad spirit suggested by MT. Spen- cer.
 Iature of Alabama should read and in- wardly digest Mir. Spencer's Montgom- cry addres. He calls for spirit of Justice, forbearance and moderation, and he suggests the lines upon which that spirit can be attended to.

TnURsDAY, NOVEMBER 2z. 1908.
TIT IS ALI POLITICS.

Under the leading, Enforcing an ab- 6urd law" The New York Commercial calls attention to the action of Attor- ney General Moody in turning over G Rhs Department of Justice the duty ok pushing cases against alleged violators lof the Federal eight-hour law. It is shtated that during the last two months about three hundred complaints of the non-enforcement of this law have been keeeived, and this is probably the cause of Mr. Moody's activity. The Commer- lEial is of the opinion that Gompers and She various Federations Of Labor are behind this movement and says:
 In his circular letter on the subject Hhe attorney general says that the gov ernment is determined upon a strict enforcement of this law" That means prosecutions all over the eountryand, Deas ns that %i Ss very iEeiy to resat eitAer in e declaration of the statute'S Mnconstitutionally or it's amendment in . way to make its meaning and purpose That a3 mechanics and laborers employ ed upWn the public works" of the United States and of the District Of Co., sunbia shall be restricted sto eight hours of work daily under heavy penal ties for violation by any coutractor or nub-contractor. The expression pub. 5ic worixs'' Is altogether vague and in- 1erpreted by labor leaders as applying to a second, a tenth or even a one- hundreth remove from the actual pub lie work in hand as, for instance, in the ease of a man contracting for the hand les to go with the axes with wslich trees are to be cut down to furnish piles with which to construct wharf for the Uni- Bed States navy yard In Brooklyn.
 The Commercial is correct in saying Shat the law is vague and unmeaning," and the example 1t gives is but one of the many that might be adduced. But lpne. as The Commercial suggests. and we will add that it is unjust, illiberaI and intolerant More, than that, it is a snatter with which government should have nothing to do. The Congress which enacted such law and the Pres 1dent who approved it were meddllng with matters which did notaoonceFh Rhem. The law was simply yielding to Ahe supposed political power of the la Dor unions. and the same influence is behind this revival of zeal for it's en- tRorcement. We doubt if it can be fairly EHnforced, and we are sure it should not tbe. Better let it remain a dead letter ko be at some future time repealed hghen we have a Congress and a Presi- .ldent not afraid of labor unions. Con gress has just as much right to say what the people shall eat and wear as St has to say how many hours a man may work. The fact that the law ap- plies--or is supposed to apply-only to work done under the direction of the government itself, public work, as 1t is Hermed. makes no difference. It is an Interference by the government with private rights and privileges and Is all wrong. But it is politics, and that Is all There is about it.

 Black walnut is produced in this country at an annual rate of about 9S 00O 0OO feet The larger portion of if now comes from Southwestern Mis- souri. Arkansas, Oklahoma and Indian Territory, although there is some scat fering growth stil picked up in Indi- ana. Ohio, Tennessee, and West Vir- ginia. The most considerable stand of the wood remaining east or the Missis- sippl River Is on the upper waters of ia. The home demand for black walnut lumber is only for comparatively small quantities. It's use is largely confined fo gun stocks, novelties, electric work. stc. The chief demand for walnut comes from Germany ,and Hamburg is the commercial center of the market

The results of the late Congressional elections have caused some of the heretofore immovable. stand-patters to sit up and take notice. as the saying Is. Among the most persistent of that class we may mention Congressman McCleary, of Minnesota, who was cleo ted two years ago by a plurality of nearly ten thousand, but was defeated this time. Another conspicuous exam pie Is Congressman Lacy, of Iowa, who was left this time, although his plu- rality in 1se4. was something over nine thousand. Another notable example of man who was left behind was Bab- cock. of Wisconsin, There were other surprises. but these are conspicuous ex- amples going to show that there is a spirit of unrest and classification among western Republicans, and the tariff has much to do with it. Revis- fen sentiment refuses to be put down. there as we'll as in other places.
