SECOND ESCAPE FROM eALLows
Giant Austrian Under Sentence of
Death at Large

Allentown, Pa. July 2l.-Though
every law officer in Pennsylvania is
looking for him, Martin Laskowski,
who has escaped a second time from
the Mauch Chunk gail has succeeded
in eluding his pursuers, Laskowski eff
fected his escape by saving through
the bars of his cell and coming down
the side of the wall on blanket rope.
1t is thought he had been gone sever
al hours when he was first discovered
missing.
Laskowski has had a meteoric car
eer. He is a man six feet. four in
ches tall and is known TO have been
captain in the Austrian army. 1t
is believed that his story that he was
member of the Austrian nobility is
true. He was once head of the Cen
trail of New Jerseys detective squad
engaged in strike breaking. His COM
mon-law wife told some of the strike
breakers that he was a detective and
he killed her. He was arrested but in
1905, while awaiting his hanging he
seized the daughter of the sheriff as
she walked through the jail, choked
her into insensibility, seized the keys
and made his escape. He went west
and married but beat his wife so sew
erely that she revealed his hiding
place to the police and he was brought
back and re-sentenced to death.

prescribe the amount, they can pres
cribe nothing per week; If there be
danger in a barrel, there is immorali-
ty in a glass. We glory in the pluck
of Kansas, and we want to see how
far the law can go as well as how
much goodness the people will stand.
Kansas always possessed more NOR
atty than sac needed for home con-
sumption. and we would earnestly
commend her devotion to home pro
ducts--let her set the limit to which
we may attain the millennium. Logi-
cally, the English and the Germans
and the Americans should have been
ruined long ago; but it may be still
possible to save us all, provided the
Kansas theory will work in practice.
The chances are about a hundred to
one against the general enforcement
of the Kansas law. Public sentiment
made the law possible, of course, and
from that fact it might naturally be
argued that public sentiment will be
strong enough now to compel the
strict enforcement of the law in every
nook and corner of the State. But
logic falls down when it comes to the
prohibition of the sale of Intoxicating
liquors People don't do what they
are expected to do or are supposed to
be bound to do. In Maine there are
thousands of men who are in favor of
the prohibitory laws but opposed to
their enforcement; wild horses cound-
MT pull them to the polls to vote for
taking prohibition out of the State
constitution: but when 1t comes to
prosecuting rumsellers under the law
tleir supreme Indifference is the
most impressive thing about them.
Kansas Will no doubt make a
bluff at enforcing her new prohibit
ton law. But the popular sentiment
behind a law necessary to its rigid
enforcement will probably be found
lacking-"for the law, but agin' en-

NO HEN PICKED NEED APPLY

A judge out in Missouri decides that
a man who allows himself to be boss
ed around and nagged by his wife is
failing in his duty and isn't entitled
to consideration.
"A man should be the boss of his
own household. | doubt very much
whether woman entertains very
much respect for a husband who will
submit to ner constant nagging, not
resenting it. She grows to look upon
him as sort of molly-coddle and the
woman never lived who could love a
molly-coddle."
Judge A. M. Romjue gave this ad-
vice to Thomas Farmer, who admitted
having deserted his wife but who
claimed his better half nagged him to
such an extent that she made his life
miserable
THE whole trouble between these
two people seems to be want of self
assertion on the part of the husband"
the judge went on. HE is really the
party at fault, because when his wife
had made a household nuisance of
herself by her continual fault-finding
and criticism, it was his duty to shut
her up. She got so much in the laLit
of lecturing him that it became a
sort of second nature with her and
she did it mechanically, not malicious
ly. but because it was the customary
and natural thing to do.
"All the evidence shows the defen-
dant in this case is an unusually Qui-
ct man; you might call him subdued.
guess he is. But a subdued husband
is a mighty unpromising piece of fur
niture in a happy home. The hen
pecked husband gets no sympathy at
home or abroad and deserves none.

PROHIBITION IN KANSAS
Drastic Laws That Make FIorida's
Ridiculous and Names Trivial.

anu mdlUC IiNidls
Under the new prohibitory law in
Kansas druggist is not PERMITTED to
fill physicians prescription for whis-
key; and if whiskey or alcohol is
found in his store, the law looks upon
the fact as a prima facie evidence of
selling it. TIE attorney general of
the State has announced that he is
going to clean all Intoxicating bever-
ages out of the private clubs-that
the locker" must go because, where
they contain intoxicants in a cluO
house is a place wherein people as
semble to drink and do drink in CON
tempt of the law" Acting under the
advice of this official many towns IN
Kansas are limiting the amount OF
beer that resident may purchase IN
another State and have sent TO MN;
as. for instance, q Leavenworth man
may have two cases a week; a Wlchl-
Ia man one case a week; but a Tope-
ka resident only half case. And so
the absurdity goes on.
In proposing to make every drink
err carry a license one might nave
thought" says the Florida Times-Un-
ion of Jacksonville, that Florida has
gone tne limit; but Kansas sees even
this one better and leaves Maine out
of the reckoning" Our Southern con
temporary expresses a hope that all
the drastic features of the Kansas
law will stand the constitutional test
so that an unlocking world may see
and study the effects of them. And II
adds, commenting on the matter OF
limiting the beer supply and so forth:
Why not saut off the supply entire
i w. If the municipal authorities can
