Neighbor Says Charles Heck's Abode
Is IAN Right"

From Charles Heok's home at 1925
Central avenue, North Topeka, comes
a denial of the recently published
statement that Charles Heck's home
was fitted up for gambling purposes.
When arrested Heck had on his person
several sets of dice and some skeleton
KEYS commonly used for housebreak-
ing.
4 person who has known Mrs. Heck
for several years denied the statement
that Heck's home was used for gam
bling purposes.
Mrs. Heck has lived in Topeka for
a number of years" the neighbor said,
and seems to be an excellent woman.
We have visited the home on several
occasions. 1 believe the statement
placed Mrs. Heck in an embarrassing
situation as she is an entirely innocent
party to any gambling scheme or the

MILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR.
New weights and Measures Law Saves
People That Amount.

It is the belief of Dr. Crunbfne of
the state board of health who also has
charge of the enforcement of the
weights and measures law, that the
people of Kansas were cheated out of
a million dollars a year by short
weights and measures before the new
law was passed. The doctor has a
mass of evidence to support his con.
tention, and he claims that even now,
under the rigid system of inspection
the discoveries of his inspectors show
that losses running into hundreds of
thousands of dollars are being borne
by consumers through the trade sys-
tenn of short weights and measures
The doctor makes the charge that
cheating devices have been sold all
over the state by the statesmen of
scales coTuDaufes.

A WHOLESOME SENTIMENT.

II there is anything pleasing in
connection with the late pugilistic
outrage in Nevada, II is the very gem
erai disgust IT has engendered. Men
who witnessed the exhibition are in
clined to the belief that It was
foregone conclusion that there could
be no real contest OF physical strength
and skill between the two; tina; the
condition of Jeffries was well known
to all concerned, and that money
making was the only motive Of the
promoters. They are Inclined to the
belief that johnson could have walk
ed over his opponent in one OF the
carly rounds, and would have done so
but for the contract they both were
under with the moving picture con-
Germ; and that consequently the
greater part OF the contest they had
paid from SO to $50 TO see, was
more or less OF a fake. Believing
that they were imposed upon. they
are not so enthusiastic about the
manly art as they were before. This,
We say, Is pleasing. 1t speaks well for
the victory OF the btlNtl StHNlhi'HR
OF the American people
For many reasons we hope the
efforts at suppressing the moving
picture exhibitions OF the light
whether fake or not--will be success
full such exhibitions are more harm
full than the original itself. because
the moving picture shows are
patronized principally by young folks
and children, upon whose plastic
minds the details are deeply en-
craven. If the law prohibits prize
fight 1t certainly also interdicts the
public exhibition OF one upon the
canvass. one follows from the other
II prize fights are conducive to
the development of manhood, as has
been claimed. one could overlook
some OF the excuses and dised-
vantages. but II has been proved
again and again that nations given
to brutality. be 1t in the form Of
prize fights, bull fights, or any other
kind of bsrbarous pastimes, decay
and go under in the struggle against
those who are more civilized. We
should take warning from history.
There should be no more prize fights
In this country, And the picture
owners should not be permitted to
parade before the people spectacle
that may promote race hatred and
further acts OF violence.
