Nearly 1,15O Cases Are Handled
in One Year.
More Litigation Than in Both
District Courts.
THE CREDIT EVIL IN Topeka
Careless About Pay
ing Their Debts.
GarniShmentS and Attachments
Are Popular Here.

Growing in a few years from a little
unimportant court created to re1eVe
the congestion and Encouragement OF
half a dozen justice of the peace courts
the court of Topeka has quickly De
come one of the most important in the
county and handles more cases than
both branches of the district court
combined. And the majority of cases
at this time are small civil cases.
Within the last six months only few
criminal cases have been brought in
that court. There is less petty crime,
according to the court officers, or the
offenders have grown wise in evil dong
and are not caught. Since early last
summer the court proceedings have
been almost exclusively of civil nature
Along with this pleasing information
must be taken the fact that there are
more garnishments and attachments
for debt than ever before in the history
of the county and city. hundreds OF
such cases are filed within year.
Whether it is because Topekans are
less prompt about paying their debts
or have less money to pay with than
before court officers do not say.
Easy Credit Causes Trouble.
For a lot of this litigation the grow
ing custom of giving credit to all who
apply for it is blamed to no small de-
gree. The merchant giving the credit
often sells to the customer running an
account, high priced Iuxuries. AS the
time to pay for them draws near the
customer finds he needs money for
other purposes and in many times he
allows the account to stand against
him until his wages are tied up by
suit.
Sickness too plays a leading part in
this feature of court work. Many or
the cases of garnishment brought with
in the last year can, by taking time,
be traced back to the smallpox cpl
demic of a year ago.
One feature of the work in the court
of Topeka is the fact that in ninety
nine cases out of a hundred the decision
in that court is final. One years rec
ord of appeals from decisions shows 20
cases carried to the district court. In
some of these cases the appeal was
taken merely that more time might be
secured in which the money needed
could be raised and paid over.
Since one year ago today the court
of Topeka has handled 1,132 cases. The
number of litigants and witnesses, who
were involved in the hearing and settling
of these cases run into the thousands
There is no case with less than four
such persons and the number ranges as
high as twenty. From 5000 to 1000
persons have probably appeared in this
court within the last year.

Principal Stout today. I'VE haven't the
necessary teaching force"
Fifty students have asked for book
keeping This is more than twice the
number that have applied at any previ-
Gus time. Seventy persons desire to
enter the new class in commercial
spelling which takes the place OF the
class in word analysis. One hundred
students have asked for civics and
economies which are in the business
course Thirty-five wish to join the
new class in commercial law.
The most popular of all the high
school studies is second term English
Two hundred and fifty-two students
have asked permission to take this.
An unusually large number of girls
have applied for sewing. This is prob
ably due to the fact of the popularity
of the class under Miss Lydia Bolmar
in design work as applied to dress
making.
