plaintiffs had no cause of action,
thus sustaining the city and its

that police officers are clothed
with all the authority necessary
to make arrests under all sorts
and conditions of reasons and
causes. The better way is to
obey the laws and show a whole

The entire country has awaken
ed to the idea that to enforce all
the laws would be a good thing,
and the result of elections the
last four or five years has proven
that when the people do wake up
and demand the enforcement OF
laws that the laws are enforced.
And it is right that the people
should wake up at this time.
True, some laws may be obnox-
ious, but il these laws are strict
ly enforced they will either be-
come popular or they will become
so odious that the people will rise
up and demand their repeal.
A man may say, I am not In
favor of such and such a law.
He may be honest in his objection
to the law, but he is an anarchist
if he refuses to lend his aid to
the enforcement of a law which
has been put on the statute books.
The horse thief may be opposed
to the law against his occupa-
ton. but nevertheless It is the
law, and he must be made to re.
spect it.
Witnesses may be placed on
the stand to testify as to viola
tions of the law. If they testify
falsely they are anarchists for
the reason that thew are against
good government-against the
majesty of the law. A jury takes
an oath to render 4 verdict accord
ing to the law and the evidence,
but does not do it-that jury is
composed of anarchists. That
jury is guilty of perjury if it al
lows the private opinions of its
members to prevail as to whether
the law is a good one. The pri-
vate opinion of a juror as to the
good or bad of a law has nothing
to do with the case. If the law
says such and such a thing is the
law, if they are good citizens
they will obey it.
The way to get an obnoxious
law off of the statute books is to
rigidly enforce it. Then if a
majority of the people are against
it they are strong enough to force
its repeal.

AS To Registration.

Quite a little controversy mas
arisen as to whether it is neces-
sary to register, not having vo-
ted at the primary election. The
law provides that person to be
entitled to vote must have voted
at each general election, and the
question as to whether or not the
primary election was a general
election has been raised. Some
men claim that it was necessary
to have voted at the primary cleo
ton in order to be entitled to-
vote at the coming election with
out new registration, but Attor-
ney General Jackson says that is
not true. However, in order to
be safe it would be we'll to regis
ter. The attorney generals
opinion follows:
Topeka, Oct. 6.-Some quer-
les are now coming into the attor-
ney generals Office as to what
effect the state primary law has
on the registration of voters.
Mr.. Jackson today prepared the
following statement:
1.-THE primary election law has
absolutely nothing to do with
the general elections laws OF the
state, and consequently has
naught to do with the law con-
corning the registration OF cleo
tors in cities of the first and sec
ond class. The primary law re-
quires registration to vote at
the primary, but the general
election laws do not require one
to vote at the primary in order
TO vote at the general election.
1.-THE primary of August 4 was
not an election, at all. II was
lust a primary. The registration
law requires an elector to vote at
each general election, and to re-
side at the same street number,
or to register, but as the primary
is not a general election, it is Of
no consequence whether an cleo
tor voted at the primary or not
Putting this matter in another,
and perhaps in simpler light il
a voter has not changed his resi-
dence, and has voted regularly al
the annual city elections in the
spring, and the biennial election:
in November, he does not ueee
re-registration. And as for the
primary law. forget it until the
time comes to 10 innate candi
dates again"

has the geological survey the right to
impose it. It may, however, endeavor
to ascertain the facts by investigation,
and then set them forth for the bene

Last year 5000 men were killed in
the mines and the year before 2,061
The rate for 1906 was 3.34 for every
