Also Continued Attack on Bil
lard and City Officials.
Hundreds of persons were disappoint
ed in not being able to see the pic
tures of alleged joints shown on a
screen by the Rev. Robert Gordon at
the First Baptist church Sunday nignt
Long before the hour of service it be
came necessary to turn the crowds
away.
The address which accompanied the
pictures was characterized by sensa
tional and uncomplimentary statements
concerning present city officials. That
J. B. Billard, mayor of Topeka, is
"saturated, soaked and submerged to
his chin and frequently lower in a
sea of beer suds," was his declaration.
He said: "Every mother's son out
as a candidate is pushing new cards
cards saying, "I'm for a renovation of
the police force. I'm for a new police
matron. I'm for the enforcement of
all laws.' But to cap the climax that
strange thing happened from which
we have not yet recovered our surprise.
Billard himself stepped into the lime
light to say, 'I protest against being
called the wet candidate.' I knew the
meetings would result in conversions
but I'll have to confess I didn't ex
pect we were going to see this miracle
wrought. But then we have turned
considerable light on the old gentle
man and one can never tell what the
steady concentrated rays of Kansas
prohibition sunshine will accomplish in
the way of drying things up. 'I'm not
the wet candidate' it sounds too much
like a death-bed depentance to be con
vincing. I'm afraid the mayor might
have another radical change of heart
were he elected.
" 'The wet candidate' he is as wet
as the rainy season in Hollo; as wet
as a devil fish in the sea. Saturrated,
soaked, submerged to his chin and fre
quently lower still, in a sea of beer
suds, he calls to our youth, 'Boys come
on in. the booze is fine.' I do not need
to report the speech he made at a keg
party in the basement of a cheap hotel
awhile ago to establish his position. I
did so last Sunday night when I read
his statement published in the brewers"
annual for last year. I did so when
I called attention to his record as a
law enforcement official. He has the
effrontery to remind us he promised ti
enforce the law. I should think he
would like to have us forget that. He
not only promised to, he took an oath
that he would. He stands before us
tonight a man whose oath is worth no
more than his word and whose word is
absolutely without value. In fact my
experience with hfm has led me to
conclude that when he says a thing
there is reason for suspecting the op
posite to be true and when he swears
a thing is so then you may know the
oppose is true."
Commissioners Stotts and Miller came
in for a share of the criticism.
In making explanation of the pic
tures shown the speaker said: "There
may be places shown here where you
can't get liquor today, but liquor has
been bought at these places recently.

which permits the sale of liquor."

Dr. Charles M. Sheldon, who was
asked to speak prior to the address by
the Rev. Mr. Gordon, made the pre
diction that a large proportion of the
police force of cities in the future will
consist of women. He said:
"Tremendous advancement is being
made along the lines of law enforce
ment and betterment of life in our
country," said Dr. Sheldon. "The civ
ilized world has begun to realize that
vice is not necessary to civilization.
America has said to the world that
the social evil is not necessary through
the reports of two great vice commis
sions of Chicago and Portland.
"We are begining to realize that
half of the police force should be
women, and that the business of the
force should be to save life and not
simply to detect crime.
"The men will be big brothers to
the boys of their district and will
teach the boys the laws of sex. The
women will be big sisters to the girls
and will teach them."
