WHEN is A MAN DRUNK?

Judicial authority in Topeka has
ruled that a man is drunk If police
man can detect the odor of liquor on
his breath. If, in addition, he talks
and laughs boisterously he is drunk
and disorderly and guilty of breach
of the peace. If this standard were ap
piled to the city of New York IL is es
timated that 100000 people would be
arrested as drunk and disorderly
every day. In Chicago the number
would be 100000; In Philadelphia, 300,.
600. The claim of the liquorites that
Topeka has a high percentage OF
drunkenness will not hold water-or
any other kind of liquid.
In this connection It may be noted
that Topeka, with a population of A.,
102, has 20 policemen. The average
for 20 American saloon-infested cities
with a population of $4,000 to $4,000
is 46 policemen.

WHO is RESPONSIBLE?

WHO is RESPONSIBlE2
Judge Pollock of North Dakota, pro-
nouncing sentence upon a man con-
demned to spend the remainder of his
natural life in the state penitentiary,
made scathing denunciation Of the
liquor traffic. The man had murdered
his wife while under the influence Of
liquor procured across the river in
Moorhead, Mimi.
Il do not know, and under the pres
ent state OF our law / never want to
know" said the Judge, "who sold you
the liquor under the influence of which
you committed this unnatural crime.
Let that mans conscience bring such
remorse that its energizing power will
never let go, until the largest possible
reparation be made. Whoever he was,
and wherever he may be at this sad
moment; whether his place of bust
ness is in the welladorned and highly
decorated room where tempting viands
appeal to the taste, where sweet music
delights the ear and lulls to sleep the
reasoning faculties; or whether 1t was
in the lowest, dirtiest, man-abandoned,
God-forsaken and death-dealing char
mel house of despair, where only
abides the thoughtless and sullen
greed for gain, 1t matters not; be-
fore the bar of God, II not Of man,
he stands alike with you morally re-
sponsible for this horrible crime. The
trouble is he is not here with you to
receive a merited punishment.
IF your partner in this offense were
here he would plead by way Of de.
tense that he did not by fraud, con-
trive or force occasion your drunken
ness-a plea which would have to be
sustained. An enlightened and long
suffering public will some day, and
that day very soon, rise in the majesty
of its power, and demand that the leg
islature strike out the words by fraud
continuance or force and for the pur'
pose of causing him to commit any
crime and boldly declare that he who
in any manner sells Intoxicating
liquors to another, under the influence
of which a crime, whether Of murder
or of some lesser offense is commit
ted. is equally guilty as a principal In
any such crime committed

SALOON VS.. MODERN BUSINESS

1T isn't the crank who is putting

the Wichita Beacon. Its the bust
ness man, the railroad man, the bank
er, the lawyer, the merchant, the men
who have to depend upon someone else
for efficiency in the various depart

have observed the killing effect Of
booze on the men who have to be
responsible for important work.
"They are the men who are getting

such report as that of Prof Taylor's Is likely to
make that particular line of real estate stable that
1t won't change hands in 40 years It would be
pected that the business people the towns such
Carlsbad, would also be concerned about it. But maybe
they are also farm with definite money

If the beneficaries do not?
From the very beginning of the reclamation work
there nave been some IN congress who have held to the
prediction that the reclamation expenditures would
be returned the treasury: that land owners
would refuse 10 pay and that ultimately congress would
have to act upon foreefu demand for direct appro-
prlations to relieve the land Of any further
obligations under their contracts The advocates Of
the system have maintained that the contracts would
be carried out in good faith, and that the reclamation
fund would be TepleniShed. But in truth If must be
said that during the last few years there has been
manifest in number of places a disposition on the
part Of land to break the contracts under which
the funds were expended.
So far as the Taylor report Is concerned, in this
particular 1t directly contravenes the original reclama-
ton act Of 1902 and is contrary the letter and the
spirit of every contract far entered into between
the reclamation service and water users associations
The original act contemplates the permanent ownership
and operation of the storage and diversion works by
the government although they shall be paid for by
the beneficiary land owners Every contract has been
made this basis and every cent has been invested
this basis
Every water under government project has
known from the very start that he would have to pay
for the storage and diversion works that he would
never have share in their actual ownership What

Then he saw some black, fluttering
wings, and he said; 7 guess that

fallen out Of the nest again"
And so the dear. old maid crow lady
had. But she had fallen on some Of
the sofa cushions from Uncle Wiggily's

asked Uncle Wiggily, when he had
