MIR. BILLIARD AND THE FACTS.

Mr.. ]. B. Billiard, mayor Of Topeka, is
entitled to his own opinions on prohi-
bition and every other question, for
that matter, but in expressing his
opinions on a matter of public concern.
like prohibition, he should not attempt
to bolster them up with statements
which are far from being facts. It is
just this thing that he has done in his
most recent interview to the effect that
prohibition is a failure and a farce.
The idea that ninety per cent of the
people of Topeka, or any other place,
use liquor is preposterous. Even the
brewers and the distillers do not claim
that they cater to any such demand.
Nor is Mr.. Billiards. claim that pro-
hibition hurts Kansas and Topeka
within the realm of fact. Here is a
specific instance of how it did not hurt
Topeka on one important occasion. A
few years ago the high officials of the
Santa Fe, when they needed enlarged
general shop facilities, discussed the
advisability of removing the greater
part of their shop plant from Topeka
and reconstructing and enlarging it at
Argentine, which, in reality, from an
operating standpoint, is a more desir-
able place for the Santa Fe to have its
main shops than is Topeka. 1t does
not take much perspicacity to figure
cut what the removal of the Santa Fe
shops from Topeka would have meant
to this city.
And the controlling reason for keep
ing the shops in Topeka and spending
millions of dollars on their enlarge
ment was that this city was a more
desirable place for the habitation of
shop men because of it's freedom from
saloons, gambling houses and other
dens of vice which are related so close
| ly to an open traffic in liquors. It was
the late James E. Hurley, of honored
memory who pressed this point home
with the officials of the Santa Fe. This
! is a fact ON which Mr.. Billiard can in
| form himself by inquiring among the
higher officials of the Santa Fe, if he
wishes to take the trouble. 1t is as
| important a victory as prohibition ever
won. 1t denies for all time the charge
that Topeka would thrive and prosper
better if it were not subject to prohibit
ton. For, if prohibition means that
the Santa Fe can get better work out
of its thousands of employees here,
that with no saloons for the cashing of
pay checks and the leaving of the bulk
of them, the shopmen are encouraged
| to take better care of. their families
and provide them with homes of their
own, it also means that all other work
ers and laborers in the city, no matter
what their station may be, are bene-
| fitted in the same direction.
| This would seem to be an effective
] answer to Mr.. Billiards. most serious

Called Him FederaIist.

In a paper on Log Cain Courts of
Long Ago. written for Case and Com
ment, David c. Baker tells the story
of an old libel suit in Franklin county
Ind, in which defendant was accused
Of calling plaintiff "a id old Fed
eralist." The witnesses for the prose-
cution, 80 Of them. were sworn all ut
one time.
1--WE will examine Mr.. Herndon first, -
said Gen.. James Noble, leading coun-
sci for the plaintiff.
''Mr. Herndon, do you consider il
libelous and slanderous to call q man a
federalism" asked Gen. Noble.
II do,'' the old man answered.
Which would you rather a man
would call you, 4 Federalist or a horse
| thief"
'I would shoot him If he called me
one or the other"
You have not answered the QueS-
tion." said Gen. Noble.
WELL replied Herndon, IT would
rather be called anything under the
heavens than a Federalist."
What damages would you say the
defendant should be made to pay for
this libel in calling the plaintiff a Fed
eralist?''
II would say a thousand dollars at
least"
Judge John H. Test. attorney for the
defendant, then took the witness.
Mr.. Herndon,"i he asked, what do
you understand by a Federalism"
my understanding is that 1t means
a tory. an enemy to his country" the
witness replied.
Gen. Noble again took the witness
and asked him one more question.
"Mr. Herndon, would you feel safe
with a Federalist by your side to
meet the Indians in a bush fight?"
ct would not. I would just as lief
have one of the hostile Indians with
his rifle and tomahawk by my side
There was a brief conference between
the opposing attorneys; then Gen.
Noble arose and said:
other witnesses that we are ready to
examine, but to save time 1t Is agreed
by counsel that they will each swear
to the same facts as those stated by
Mr.. Herndon, and that the publication
of the libel is admitted"
No evidence was offered for the de-
PENDANT Lengthy speeches were made
by the counsel on both sides, covering
in their range the history of the gen.
eral government from its organization.
The charge was given the next morn
ing The Jury, and in a few minutes
returned into court with the following
verdict:
1--WE find that to charge a man with
being a Federalist is ibelous, and we
assess the damages of the plaintiff at
81 o0O the amount sworn to by MI
Herndon, and would have been by the
other 90 witnesses that we're not ex-
ARMED as was admitted by the coun-
sell"
"The court are well satisfied with
vour verdict" said the associate judge

ners as YOU have not yet had your
