STOP AUTO THEFTS
Officers Make Progress
Catching Thieves.
Three Youths Plead Guilty to
Stealing Cars.

With the arrest of three youths who
confessed to stealing eight motor cars
in Topeka recently. officers believe
they have taken a long step toward
discouraging auto thievery and joy
riding in other peoples cars in To-
peka.
The three youths-Ray Bray. Lee
Roy Asher and Ernest Rodicker-
this morning pleaded guilty before
Judge james A. Mcclure in the dis
trict court to the charge of stealing
two auto tires from John E;lliott's car,
but sentence was deferred until Jan
uary in order that the boys may
spend the holidays with their reIa-
tlveS The penalty for the crime is
from one to five years in the state
reformatory and this will probably be
the sentence of the court.
Prosecution Is Pushed.
The Topeka Auto Dealers associa-
ton and various auto insurance com
panies pushed the prosecution of the
youths It is asserted that two in
surance companies alone in Kansas
have suffered the loss of $4,000
worth of uncovered cars in two
years. Ten Kansas companies write
S5 per cent of the auto insurance in
| the state.
Clarence Jordan. of the Jordan In
surance agency asserts that in the last
kIiAoc ears $oVV,VoO mas Deen paid
out in theft losses. OF this amount
100000 has never been recovered and
is absolutely a total loss, he says
May Affect Insurance Rates.
Fortunately. our company did not
! lose much in this last local case" he
said, but nevertheless the evil is
, there and the public should wake UP
and realize what it means If this
condition continues insurance rates
/ will become so high that car owners
Will not be able to insure. There is
! only one way to cure the evil-prose-
cute the offenders
Taking other peoples cars to go
/ joy riding in has become a popular
pastime among certain Topeka young
tended. But it often happens that the
car is injured, for which the owner
must pay. Or, if the car is insured,
the insurance company must pay. I
am afraid it often happens that the
owner sometimes takes advantage of
ance companies pay for other, or old
damage, in addition to that the joy
riders have done. We have had many
cases of this kind.
Evil Should Be stamped Out.
so there is more than one reason
why the evil should be stamped out.
Young girls who accept invitations of
young men to go joyriding should
know in just what kind of company
/ they are about to place themselves.
The girls names are usually kept Sc
cret when the youths are caught, but
some day something more unfortunate
will occur.
TT is hardsto see these boys go to
i the reform school, but on the other
average lock that comes with a car is
no protection against theft

MOB'S ACTION SELDOM JUST
Henry Watterson Wrote FeeIingly on
the Brute Nature of Mankind,
When Herded in Groups.

The people en- masse constitute what
we call the mobs. Mobs have rarely
been right-never except when capa-
bly, led. 1t was the mob in
Paris that made the Reign of Terror.
Mobs have seldom been tempted. even
though they had small chance to go
wrong, that they have not gone wrong.
The people" is a fetish. 1t was
the people, misled, who precipitated
the South into the madness of seces-
sion and the ruin of a hopelessly I'M
equal war of sections.
This is merely to note the mortal
fallibility of man, most fallible when
herded in groups and prone to do in
the aggregate what he would hesitate
to do when left to himself and his
individual accountability.
Under a wise dispensatlon of pow
er, despotism, we are told, embodies
the best of all government The trou-
BILE is that despotism is seldom, if
ever, wise. 1t is its nature to be incon-
siderate, being essentially selfish,
grasping and tyrannous. AS a rule,
therefore, evolution-usually of force
has been required to change or re-
form it. Perfectibility was not de-
signed for mortal man. Henry
Watterson in "'Marse Henry an Au-
