DRUG THEFT TRIAL ON
Two Boys Accused of Making Daring
Haul in Sixth Street Store.

Whether the wholesale or retail
value of drugs should be taken into
consideration in estimating the value
of stolen property will have a great
deal to do with determining whether
Howard Groggins and E. Matheny
will serve a sentence for grand or
petty larceny should they be convict
ed in Judge Whitcomb's division of
the district court. The two youths
are charged with stealing morphine
and other drugs at Miller's drug store,
Sixth and Topeka avenues.
The two lads are charged with steal
ing more than $40 worth of drugs
Douglas Mote, their attorney, declares
that in estimating the cost of drugs
the retail prices are quoted and that
the wholesale prices should be those
worth of the drugs. According to
Mote. the wholesale prices make the
drugs less than $40 in value and
throws a petty larceny instead of
grand larceny charge on the Shout
ders of the youths.
According to the story told by the
prosecution, Groggins entered the
store and purchased an article and
then retired to a rear room to try it
on Then Matheny entered and while
the druggist was waiting on the lat
ter, Groggins took the drugs. A ply
stefan was in the store and the drug
gist became suspicious when he heard
bottles rafting and sent the physi-
clan back to watch Groggins. The
two boys were trailed down Harrison
street by the physician while the
druggist notified the sheriff and the
lads were arrested with the drugs in

WHY NOT ENFORCE THE LAW?

The best and easiest way, it is said to repeal a repugnant law is to enforce it. If that certain law on our statute books which provides for the isolation of person afflicted with contagious disease is repupnant to Us, let Us enforce it and it shall soon be repeaed but so long as it is on our statute books, by all means let Us enforce it.
 While it is regrettable we may as well admit that we have somewhat of an epidemic of meas les in the city; disease that while not necessar- ily dangerous and much less fatal, it is a cOntag ious disease nevertheless, and before we allow it to spread all over the city it would seem timely that the town authority wake up.
 Under the signature of four prominent physi- cians, notice of the epidemic was formally given to the Mayor and other members of the council over ten days ago. Since then numerous cases have made their appearance yet the council Is still indifferent This is not said in the spirit of fault finding on the contrary. it is said with all good intention and only as 9 reminder that something should be done, unless we wish to have the federal authorities step in. But this would only show that We are unfit to govern our selves which is the last thing in the world that anyone of us wants to admit.
 It is no disgrace to have the measles; but if we are stricken with the malady. we gain nothing by exposing others. and those who are so careless as to expose others should be restricted. That is the purpose of the law. The law does not in- tend to punish person for having the measles but to prevent its contagion. Every case of measles should be isolated and strict Quaran- tine be maintained.
 Chapter 42, page 69 of the session laws of the territorial legislature of 1913. provides for the punishment of all those who may disregard the law enacted for that purpose.

end of 1917 with light hearts. We have all promised to be good and by reason thereon we expect to sprout wings during the year In oth- CT words we have all joined the Good Word Club which means that we shall neither find fault nor commit any act that may cause others to ind fault with us and have a good word for everybody Even for our political opponents, including the democrats.
 Imagine how beautiful and pleasant thls old world will become. Without any fault-tnders; !; any reformers; therefore no lawyers and no preachers. If we have no quarrel we need no lawyer and if we are perfect we need no preach CT; and there you are. What paradise It snail be. If we are really good, we see no reason why we shouldn't all sprout wings and become angeis by the end of 1917. The only doubt in our mlnd in that respect is that men have never repre- sented angels. Angels have always been repre- sented by women, exclusively it seems. They claim there ain't no such animals as men angels. However. it won't hurt to be as good as men ca' be-which is not saying much either. Yet, We dare say it will help some.

 never safe to be satisfied with success level we must climb the hills and mountain; then each day will express the best that is in spiritually, mentally physically This is the road to attainment.
 So if in the old year have been wrong, been torn or bruised by the way if resolve to believe in our selves shall try again and find that genius is only energy intensified and this is thought expressed in action With this resolution firmly fixed in minds we shall win happiness, concentration and success. We must have faith in ourselves the faith of others is too week So come, New Year; fear not your resolute step will keep step with you, and you will be ripe, rich mellow genial year.

HOW TO BE THANKFUL.
(New York World.)

To thankful without arrogance; to be grateful With out hypoercy: to acknowledge obligations without a thought of come appreciate blessings without
 hint of merit that may have drawn them forth to ae- cept the good things of the world not altogether as due but as the bountifu and perhaps nexpicabe favors Of fortune to rejoice without seshness and contemplate the future without pride of the meaner sort-how are these considerations possible?
 Regionists maroists and philosophers will have many answers to the question all it's aspects at this season. but rom the human point of view there can be but one response who share their abundance with others those who seek and help the afflicted those who can say truly at the day that somebody less hap py situated than themselves has reason to praise them and bless them for generous deeds and words-they only will have found in the spirit of the American festival any thing beneficial or lasting.
