THE DIFFERENCE Is THE DTF-
FERENCE

Governor HOCh was z country news
paper man and was publishing "Our
paper" the Marion Record. Cover
nor MorriH was in the GOVERNOR s
chair and had made a splendid rec
ord" He had said, however, that
It was exceedingly difficult, II not i'm
possible, to enforce the prohfbitory
law in the large towns and cities
where the public sentiment was
against its enforcement"
Hoch OF Marion had long heard the
buzzing Of the gubernatorial bee in
his bonnet The little bird" Cthe
Record) said:
''f was governor, would call out
the state militia, If necessary, to en-
force the prohibitOry law"
Honest Governor Morrill, failed Of
denomination for governor and Bailey
was elected, each only serving one
term, thanks to Governor HOch and
the boss busters Burton, ct al
Exit Bailey, enter HOch-
Did HOch enforce the prohibitOry
law during his first term Of Office?
Did he call out the state militia 70 ell
force the law2 Did his attorney gen
eral, c. c. Coleman, proceed against
any mayor for the nOne-enfOrcement
Of the law, except Rose, a democrat Of
Kansas City, Kansas2
How about AtchisOn, LeayenwOrth,
Wichita and Topeka, and other large
towns Of the state? Were not the
conditions in Topeka, right under
Hoch's nose, worse by 100 per cert
than under Morrill, or Bailey? HOch
is renominated and succeeds himself
by about 1000 votes, over Harris, who
said he would enforce the law, and
Hoch, falling or in his majority only
about $4,000 votes from his former
majority.
Who elected Hoch? Mrs G. C.
Burton, a prominent republican lady,
in an article published in another col
umn, intimates very strongly that the
liquor interests elected Hoch and that
they were worked" Everybody at all
informed on political conditions,
knows that this was the fact. And
the little bird''-the parrot-said
sneak out"
Attorney General Jackson is show
ing the people Of Kansas that the pro-
hibitOry law can be enforced Really,
isn't it Jackson rather than HOch that
is doing this? Couldn't HOch and the
brilliant Cd Coleman have done this ?
There IS a no need Of mention Of the
Katy and the book trust The du-I
pIicity OF HOch is a master piece
Governor HOch, his ''phiz" in can
vas and oil, will hang among the gov
ernOrs Of Kansas, in the 'represen-
tatiYe's hall" If canvas could put on
life expression OF cOuntenance, one
would naturally look at St John,
Click, Martin and Morrill,. The leg
islature should provide for a segrega-
ton Of the portraits Of governors, and, |
as in the grand assize, separate the
sheep from the goats.

A GOOD JOB FOR Some one
RECEIVER FOR BREWERTEs TO
BE APPOINTED.
Kansas Supreme Court Dealing Death
Blows to Property Interest Of
Booze Concerns.

An order was issued by the su-
preme court late Monday afternoon
providing for the appointment OF re-
eelvers for the Kansas property Of the
following concerns:
The Helms Real Estate company.
Eerd Helm Brewing company.
kansas City Brewing company.
Rochester Brewing company.
Imperial Brewing company
PabsC Brewing company.

Val BlaLz Brewing company.
Joseph Schlttz Brewing company
The case OF the Mahan Supply com
panys the Wichita concern which
packed up its entire stock and left the
state between two days" and before
service could be secured on IL, was
passed over for the present
Although there were q score OF at
tOrneys in the supreme court room
representing brewing companies, only
one solitary concern adopted the
policy Of entering an appearance
and making motions as though il
would like to fight the cases. This
was the Anheuser-BuSch company by
". H RossingtOn-
Chief Justice Johnston caused the
names Of each defendant company 70
be called, and put the question, ANY
one present to speak for this defend
anti" after each name was called, but
the Anheuser-Busch Brewing
company was the only firm to reply.
". H ROssingtOn Of the firm Of Ross
ingtOn & Smith, Topeka. appeared in
behalf Of Anheuser-Busch
Mr.. ROssingtOn asked for a con-
tinuance Of the Anheuser-Busch case
for a few days, and the court allowed
ten days time in which Mr.. ROSSing-
ton will prepare to fight.
As there was no opposition to the
appointment Of receivers in the other
cases, the justices retired to their con-
sultatiOn room, and very soon ap-
nounced that receivers would be
named for these concerns within few
days.
Justices Burch and Clark A. Smith
were not present at the hearing which
was set for 2:30. 1t was nearly 3
o'clock when the court entered.
There was a formidable array Of at
torneys at the states end Of the bar.
They were Attorney General F s.
Jackson and his assistants, John Daw-
son and J. S. Shukers. Q. ". Trickett
Of Kansas City, J. K COding, attorney
for the State Temperance union, and
John Schenck, county attorney Of
Shawnee county
other attorneys present in the court
room, most Of whom represented some
brewery concern, but who were pres
ent only to watch the proceedings and
not to enter an appearance, were
these:
z. T. Hazen, Topeka; G. a. Magaw,
Topeka; B. T. Gatiskill and John Car
penter Pittsburg; S. 3. AmidOn,
Wichita; r. b Dawes, LeavenWOrTh;

HAS MOTHER EARTH GOT THE
AGUE2

The eruption Of volcanoes and the
occurrences Of earthquakes in differ
ent parts Of the earth in recent years
would suggest the idea that our dear
Mother k-arln'' has the ague IN ar
aggravated form
Among these occurrences might be
mentioned vesuvius, Mount Pelee, and
spasmOdic activity in many other
vent holes in the earth's crust.
Among earthquakes, might be men
toned san Francisco, and Santiago,
Chile, the recent shakeups in jana
lea, the Philippines, Mexico, Arme-
mia and the trans-Caspian country IN
Russia The recent seismatic disturb
ances reported indicate that there is
a worldwide relation between these
for distant disasters, and, indeed, that
this zone OF trembling has extended
around the world. Last week the fol-
lowing were reported:
Madrid, April 17.-Severe earth
shocks were felt today at TortOsa and
at Murcia. Much damage was done,
but no casualties have been report
ed"
"ConstantinopIe, April 17.-An
earthquake shock was felt here and
in the suburbs at 4;3O o'clock this
morning. It was especially sharp in
the upper part Of the Bosphorus."
'Askabad, Russian Trans-Caspian
Territory, April IA severe undu-
latory earthquake occurred here at
1926 O'Clock this afternoon and last
ed i've seconds
Askabad is the capital Of Russian
Trans-Caspian territory. It is situated
on the Trans-Caspian railway, $50
miles south-southeast Of Mikhailovsk,
the seward terminus. Since the con
struction Of the railroad, Askabad has
become an active commercial center.
IN 1907 it had a population OF about
10000, composed OF Persians, Rus
slams, Armenians, Kurds and Jews.
We are not saperstltious, nor alarm
ed. but must confess that we recall
with vividness the words Of the Man
OF Nazareth: There shall be earth
Quakes in divers places"

Nay Be Eined $4,000 for Violating
Stock Shipping Law.
In the United States circuit court
suit wiz be Ned BY the government
against the Rock Island Railroad com
paHy for &20,500 for violation OF the
tWenty-eight hour law There are
fOrty-One counts in the suit which IS
the largest number fled at one time
against any railroad company. A sim
lar suit viii be fled against the Santa
re for a smaller amount
The suits were brought at the fnstf-
cation OF the department OF agricuI-
are with one exception, like the suits
fild ever a month ago, which were
the first to come I'D for trial in the
country At the last term Of the fed
eral court In Topeka, which term
closed last week. Judge Pollock de-
cided one Of the cases for violation OF
the twenty-eight hour law against the
Rock Island and placed the me at
1900 The attorneys for the railroad
made no defense
The tWenty-eight hour law was pass
ed by congress about a year ago and
provides that live stock be not kept
in cars after being loaded for ship
ment more than tWeuty-efght hours
without being UnlOaded for food, wa
ter and rest It IS a humane law and
IS also in the interest OF the stock
shippers
There is one new feature in the
suit against the Rock Island which
has not been brought I'D heretofore
That is the violation OF a portion Of
the law which provides that when
stock in transit IS unlOaded for food,
water and rest, that the stock must
be out Of the cars for five hours.
It is stated in one Of the counts in
the new suit that stock was loaded in
Texas consigned to a firm in Kansas
City. The stock was unloaded at
Enid, Okla, after being in the cars
less than twenty-eight hours after the
unloading and shipped on TO Kansas
City. In all Of the other counts the
charge is simply that the stock was
kept in the cars more than twenty
eight hours The violations alleged
run from thirty minutes to twenty
hours over the tWenty-eight hour IL
nit
The stock mentioned in the bill was
shipped from different points in Okla
hOma and Texas. It was unlOaded in
either Wichita or HeringtOn, but in all
cases II was more than the time limit
before II was unlOaded.
During the last term Of the federal
court in Topeka the first case under
the law came up against the Rock Is
land The attorneys for the railroad
assessed a fine Of $500 for the offense.
The penalty is fixed at not less than
800 fine nor more than $500 fine for
each Offense. In the suit fled yester-
day the government asks fine Of $500
for each count
There viii be several new cases
fled against the Santa Fe Railroad
company on the same charge. There
are now several suits pending against
this company for the violation Of the
twenty-eight hour law
Similar suits to those fled in Topeka
have been fled in different federal dis
TrictS over the country, but in no case
so far called before the courts for
trial have the railroad made any de-
tense They will probably do so be
fore the new cases are disposed Of.

Casting Tn-

A Detroit woman said Of the late
General Russell A. Alger:
I'm company with a half-dOzen 9th
er women committee, in fact
once waited on General Alger to Try
to interest him in woman suffrage.
He was interested. He admitted
the truth Of many Of our arguments
But in the matter Of supporting US he
would not go as far as we wanted
him to go. One Of our ladies got, I
am afraid, a little overexcited. In her
address to the general she imputed to
woman more virtues than any merely
human creature could possess At the
height Of her elOquence General Al
ger, chuckling, interrupted her. He
said he had once attended a woman
suffrage meeting where the lady lee
turer on the platform had bOasted
about woman just as this lady was do
ing. The lecturer, he said, ended
striking climax with the question:
60 Where would man be If it had not
been for wOman2'
she looked around the crowded
hall The silence was intense She
raised her hand and cried again, i'm
pressively:
I repeat, where would man be il
II had not been for wOman?'
Then a coarse voice from the rear
replied:
In Paradise, ma'am.'"

Brewers Begging for Mercy.

for the Kansas property Of eight brew
cry companies Incorporated in other
states but doing business in Kansas
Contrary to expectation, the brewers
are not putting I'D any fight; there's
Jackson has all the law and plenty Of
evidence, and they want TO get out
OF the state as cheaply as possible.
There's great news from Wichita
She is sending in petitions requesting
that the attorney general, Mr.. Jack
son, withdraw his suit against the
Mahan supply company Of that city
The saloons Of Wichita had subscrib-
ed literally toward the erection Of a

I that putting these men out OF bUsi-
ness will delay the building.
