SHAKE, NEIGHBOR.

We are glad to note that our es-
teemed contemporary, the Topeka
Capital, has seen the light. 1t is IN
derstood that various large and influ-
entail delegations of prominent gen.
tlemen and ladies have visited the
Capital office in the last few days, al
though their names have not neces-
sarily been published in the daily list
of VISITORS
At any rate, it is not often that we
can agree with every word that is
printed in the Capital, but of what it
says editorially this morning about
Mr.. Blakely, candidate for mayor, this
paper can come pretty nearly endors-
ing every word.
Under the conditions, as they are
now in evidence, probably the most
serious handicap Mr.. Blake1y has at
present is the combined support of
both papers. Mr.. House may possibly
consider this a situation favorable to
him. At any rate there have been
times in the political history of To-
peka when a candidate who was op-
posed by both papers has been
elected.
We wish to assure our readers that
we are not debating who shall be
mayor. We are simply giving our
views and opinions as to the better
man under all the conditions for the
position. 1t is to be hoped that the
readers will take these views in good
faith and vote accordingly. f.
The Capital says this morning:
"Mr. House makes the emphatic
statement that he will enforce the
law. We believe his pledges are made
in good faith, and if elected he will
carry them out as far he is able"
This is all very well, but the fact
that it will be more difficult
for Mr.. House to enforce the law than
for Mr.. Blakely for the reason that
Mr.. House will be in position unlike
that of the famous gentleman from
in that his heart will not
be right there" Mr.. Houses inten-
lions will be good undoubtedly, but
good intentions are sometimes used
for paving blocks in bad places.

In some quarters, bouquets are be-
ing tossed at the recent legislature
because it created only s new jobs.
And while this may be much better
than any other legislatures have done,
it might be we'll to remember that the
administration leaders were emphatic
with their announcements that they
intended to legislate jobs out of exist
ence on a wholesale scale, and their
accomplishments in this direction APP
piled the jinx to only three positions.

POPULAR GENERAL APATHY.

General Apathy did exceedingly well,
a little better than usual, in the mayor
atty primary. In fact, he ran a strong
second, polling approximately $500
votes as against the 5,951 gathered by
Mr.. House and the 1890 obtained by
Mr.. Blakely. In other words, the pri-
mary stay-at-homes hold the balance
of power at next weeks election, if
they are not too trifling to use it. And
they should bestir themselves. Civic
Incidence of this sort is ineXcusable.

 But in the decision rendered by the highest court in the land, written by Justice McReynolds and concurred in by all the justices, it Is held that in the absence of a national law a state has a perfect right to enact whatever laws it may see fit in relation to the automobile Furthermore, Justice McReynolds holds that "the movement of motor Vehicles over the highways is attended by con- stant and serious danger to the public, and is also abnormally destructive to the highway itself" Further on the jus tice states: "In the absence of national legislation covering the subject, state may rightfully prescribe uniform regu- lations necessary for public safety and order in respect to the operation upon Its highways of all motor vehicles-those moving in interstate commerce as well as others''
