Spring must be lurking somewhere
in this vicinity. Topeka's realty mar
ket has become active again, and, best
of all, the real estate dealers report
that many families from other parts
are moving here. Topeka's growth
is as steady as it is substantial, and
that's the kind which counts in the

derstOOd that have not endorsed or
encouraged Mr.. Houses candidacy"
This is somewhat stilted and truly
forced statement A number of prom
inent women of Topeka with Mrs. d.
w. Nellis as chairman of committee
appointed for the purpose, went to
Mr.. Capper late Saturday evening and
demanded that he publish a state
ment in the Capital in some way dis
avowing any responsibility for Mr.
Houses candidacy. The ladies told
Mr.. Capper that the temperance work
ers in Topeka would not stand for a
member of his staff who was a can
didate; they also told him that unless
he made the statement requested that
they would get out and work against
for governor.
A prominent minister has openly
and by name quoted great deal from
the bright utterances of Mr.. House in
the Capital to show that the can
didate for mayor is not in sympathy
with the prohibitory law. Whether
this preacher went too far or not is
an open question but the fact remains
nevertheless that whether or not the
minister should have uttered these
things from the pulpit, he had the
facts on his side and he placed Mr..
House in the very attitude which Mr..
Houses own sayings placed him. The
latter has not denied he said these
things and he really should not object
to stand or his record. There can be
no question that Mr.. House has slurred
the prohibitory law of Kansas again
and again; has declared in unques-
h. Il a6
the prohibitory law as interfering
with personal liberty" and more or
less of a joke to him.
To be sure, he has announced that
he will enforce the prohibitory law
and do all he can along that line. So
did Mr.. Billiard, but Mr.. Billiard did not
enforce it and his appointees were in
with the breweries and
liquor sellers. Mr.. Billiard made a
state issue of the prohibition question
last November and was overwhelming
ly defeated.
1t is perhaps unfortunate that the
wet and dry issue continually comes
up in city and state affairs. Mr.. Bill
lard's running last fall seems to have
settled the question so far as the state
is concerned for all time. 1t may not
be bad idea to settle this question
so far as the city is concerned by the
defeat of Mr.. House at this opportuni-
ty, if we must have this question
again dragged into issue and there is
no doubt that the question is there
and will be there between now and
the election day next Tuesday.

In the conflict and may render It less
rude In appearance, but cannot change
its nature. Doctrines and
creeds are forms; the will supplies
their contents. Just as q vehicle may

Flemish terms that were perhaps
brought back to England by soldiers in
their campaign in the low countries
may be mentioned 'furlough,' cashier

'domineer.' 'Comrade' Is Spanish
