Is Not Public Property.

Records furnished the county clerks
and county attorneys by express COM
panies and other common carriers un-
der the provisions of the Mahin law,
cannot be inspected by an inquisitive
public, according to lengthy letter
sent to the county attorneys by Attor-
ney General John S. Dawson. In his
letter. Dawson declares that he be-
lieves the Mahin act will bear court
inspection regardless of the constitu-
tionality of the Webb bill, passed by
congress over the veto of President
Taft, and which provides that ship
ments of liquors into dry states shall
be subject TO seizure by law enforce
ment officials
Dawson especially warns the Kan
sas county attorneys against permit
ting the public to inspect the records
of liquor shipments furnished to coun-
ty attorneys. Such procedure he de-
clares, would conflict with the federal
law and tend TO invalidate the opera
tion of the Mahin bill. In its general
provisions. Dawson believes that the
new Kansas liquor law will withstand
the tests in the courts and will en-
able the public prosecutors to secure
much valuable information concern
ing the violations of the law.
The Mahin act becomes law upon
its publication in the statue books.
AS the 1913 session laws will be issued
in record time this year, it is proba-
BILE that the new liquor law will go
into effect early in May.-Ex

MARkET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Tuesday,
April p, 1913. Cattle sold steady to
10 higher here yesterday, and the
market is steady to-day. Heavy fed
steers sell with least action, cows and
heifers sell best this week, and stock
cattle and feeders are unchanged
from last week. Receipts have been
fairly liberal, 1l.0OO here yesterday,
and 10000 to-day. More stock cattle
have been included, and fewer fed
steers, more desirable distribution
than last week, from the sellers
standpoint, which has helped to
make the satisfactory market. Native
steers sold up to $50, both yester-
day and to-day, sugar mill steers S7.90
to S9.40, and quarantine steers So. TO
to SS.15. Cows and heifers have re-
gained most of their loss of late last
week, native cows selling largely at
1925 to S7.25, bulk of the native
heifers at 500 to So 90, tops SS so,
bulls S. so to 1925, veal calves S.. 90
to $3.50. The crop of cake and grass
steers in north Texas is efficient this
year, and outside of the rather large
supply of distillery cattle pressing on
the market at Chicago and eastern
points, the outlook is satisfactory to
feeders. Nebraska has a good many
cattle to run yet, and the sugar mills
have not shipped very heavily so far,
conditions that will keep cattle
supplies here at respectable proper
tions this month and next, without
being burdensome. Some heavy feed
ers are going into feed lots from here,
at S7.75 to 1925, and desirable
stock steers move freely at S7.75 to
heifers exceeds the supply, indicating
that the desire to get into cattle
raising is widespread. Five cars of
that kind went to South Dakota
from here last week.
Hogs are 10 lower to-day, following
a 5 cent decline yesterday, tops SS. 35
to-day, bulk of sales 50. IS to $50, re-
ceipts $1,000 head. Range of sales is
narrower than a week ago, light
weights having lost part of their
premium Average weight here last
week was 218 pounds, Is pounds
heavier than the same week last
year Receipts here so far this month
are slightly greater than during some
days last April.
The sheep and lamb market has a.
gain surprised everybody this week,
ruling 10 higher yesterday, and 10 to
20 higher to-day, when lower prices
seem to threaten Receipts are light,
900 head yesterday and 1000 to-day.
Texas furnished wethers yesterday at
s6.l5, and to-day at $3.50, weighing
100 pounds, of the clipped variety.

As Long As the Wires Were Working

exchanges stood by their posts. The
winds smashed the windows, splinter
ed glass fell in a shower, death rode
the storm. The circumstances were
terrifying enough to try the stoutest
hearts. But no man, however brave,
could have acquitted himself more
finely than those Omaha telephone
girls, staying at their desks answer
ing calls, making connections, giving
out such information as they could
until the deadened wires rendered
further effort useless. The Dayton
flood tells the same story. 1t was
telephone girl that first flashed the
news of that disaster to Phoneton,
where another operator reIayed it to
Governor Cox of Ohio. Walls of
water swirled about both buildings
and tales of horror poured into the
ears of those telephone girls from
agonized lips. And they stayed at

THE LATEST PRISON HORROR.

The story of the smothering Of eight
Rcgroes in a cell in a Texas prison, does
not make good reading for the people
of Texas: and it does not make for The
honor and glory of the stat, among pco-
pie outside Texas: BY no means a pref
ty story. rather q horrible story. 1t would
be unfair to prejudice any individuals
mentioned in the press dispatches as
responsible for the horror. If
the press stories are true. a heavy res
possibility rests upon the people who
arc responsible Ifor that u~nSpeakable
for that almost inconceivable event.
Tie story, as given in the papers, is e.
this effect: Twelve negroes on the llar-
lem state farm were reported for Shirk-
ing work. They were placed in the pun
ishment cell-the dark cell" Ten feet
long; seven feet wide, seven feet high,
about two feet of the height being
above the ground. Air entered through
four pipes in the floor, each one inch
in diameter. -Four other pipes Of the
same size passed through the roof-f0r
ventilation Twelve Young men, negroes,
were thrust into this place for punish
ment-four of them were alive next
mOrning-barcly alive. that is to say.
for by great care they were brought
bark from a scmblancr of death to ac-
tual life next day They lived by vir.
of sheer brute strength. In that awful
place they were able to make good
their position near the air pipes, as did

death of these men? Let the commission

ant, but no one had 4 right to k;ll them F.;
no one had a right TO torture them
not even if they had fallen a few pounds
short of the cotton they had been st to
pick. That sort Of thing is not TO the
credit Of the state. but credit or no ere
dit. il is n case of gross, stupid brutality
for which those guilty of it should be
punished.

The Republicans elected a congress
man in Maine Tuesday. The significant
thing about the election was the slump
of fifty per cent in the progressive vote
Another interesting fact was the small
ness of the republican plurality as com
pared to the number of votes pOllcd.
Some Importance was attached TO this
election. 1t was supposed to be a sort
Of political straw, indicating the direc-
ton of The wind with respect 20 the

the republicans have won we perceive
that it was of very small Importance.
