Paddock Trickett, the famous hard
ware booster of Wyandotte, has order
ed Bill Martin to come into his pres
ence today and repeat the assertion
that the border town is simply wormy
with gambling and booze joints. This
Is not a square deal for Bill Martin.
Perhaps he stated as facts few things
he didn't know, but he is new in poll
tics, and can not be blamed for taking
his cue from the rest of the house. The
Kansas house of representatives Is the
largest hot-air factory in the state. an
it is considered good form to make as
sertions therein which can not be ver1-
fed.
Wyandotte Bill can not be blamed
for following the prevailing fashion.
OF course there are not 'steen gam
bling joints in K. c., Kansas-Tr1ckett
says there are not. but it was Bills
turn to speak, and he had to say some
thing.
When he appears before the i'm
perial dictator today, he should de-
pose thusly: Nov, Trick, before you
move the previous question and hang
the paddock on me, pause and con-
slider. Remember the story of the
hunter who met a stranger and con-
fided to him that he had that day
slaughtered 81 quail, and the apt re-

trenchment he made upon discovering
that the stranger was the game war
den. Remember also that I have my
fingers crossed, and that I should not
be held responsible for anything I
said in the Kansas house OF lords.
Remember also that you. yourself, shot
off your mouth before Chicago gath
ering, and told a. lot of things about
the way you had squelched the booze
trade in ourscounty, the same being
assertions which you would not like to
repeat under oath. Remember the
many other things you have said which
you. would not like to be compelled to
prove"
A talk along these lines may soften
the cast-iron paddock Mr.. Trickett
wears as a substitute for a heart, and
save Mr.. Martin further embarrass-
ment.

1t is not denied that there should be
divorce laws in the country. 1t seems
inhuman to compel two persons to
maintain a nominal state of matri-
mony when they are wholly estranged.

to the most liberal laws. But there

men who have been so widely quoted
evidently know little of the world of
women. They have placed themselves
on record after very superficial and
