DRINKING AND LIBERTY.

DR.. c. J. Hexamer, president of the
National German alliance, declares that
the right to drink liquor is an "at-
tribute of liberty" He uses this as the
basis for an argument that therefore
any legislation which strives to wipe
out the saloon and prohibit the indis-
criminate sale of liquor to whoever de-
sires it and has the price to pay for it,
is a blow at liberty, one of the great
pillars on which rests the foundation
of the United States.
All of this would be quite true if the
promiscuous sale and drinking of liquor
only affected the individuals who en-
gage in them. But the trouble is that
liquor selling and drinking has many
and varied ramifications of disastrous
character which make it a menace to
society. Saloons are the breeding places
of crime of all sorts. 1t is the members
of the drunkard's family on whom the
burdens of his liquor drinking fall most
heavily. Numerous other instances,
which are known to almost every one,
could be cited to show that the pub
lie sale and drinking of liquor bear the
most severe on those who neither
profit or have their cravings satisfied
by them.
These conditions being true the argu-
ment of DR.. Hexamer is easily torn

A CIVIC DUTY.

During the first year of the operation
of the commission form of government
in Des Moines. Iowa, a saving was
made in the administration of the
public funds of that town of 100000 as
compared with what they were during
the preceding year when the old system
of government prevailed. one that was
built on the same principle as that
which now exists in Topeka.
1t would not be a difficult task to go
around among the property owners of
Topeka and find many of them who are
dissatisfied with their bills for taxes,
and especially that portion of them
which go to city purposes. 1t would be
harder to find an occasional taxpayer
who was satisfied with them.
And yet, among all of those property
owners in this city who think that their
municipal taxes are onerous there is
only so per cent of them who are now
registered and qualified to participate
in the special election to be held on
November to decide the question as
to whether or not Topeka shall try
Lew method of government similar to
that one which has worked with so
much success in Des -Moines.
Perhaps it's workings here would not
result with such financial advantage as
it has in Des Moines. But surely
scheme of government which works so
well as the commission plan has in
Des Moines and in about every other
of the many cities which have tried it,
is worthy of a trial in Topeka which
rightly considers herself to be one of
the progressive cities in this western
section of the country.
The advantages of the commission
form of government are not confined by
any manner of means to the saving of
money in the conduct of a city's af-
fairs which is made possible because
under the plan the administration of
a city's activities is put on a bust
Eess basis and in the hands of few
men who are responsible to the will of
the people at all times.
But this saving of municipal moneys
is an essential feature. Isn't it one
which is worth striving for? And if it |
is, do not the property owners and
voters of the city owe it to themselves
and their neighbors to take some in
terest in the special election which is |
There can be only one
