CITY POLITICS.
Chairman.
Secretary,

On the fifth day of next month al
election will be held to choose one
member of the city council and one
member of the sch Dol board from each
ward.
SO far us the school board is con
cerned, there are no issues involved.
In city matters, however, there are
those who long 30 see change In the
method of administering the police
department. They want police
force which cannot find Il joint often
er than once month. Periodical
fines, with intervening immunity from
espionage, is their idea. 1t has been
har! shedding for the joints the past
few months. Some of them have left
town, and the res retired from bust
ness in disgust, so that now parties
who desire to bowl ND are reduced to
the extremity Of sending away fGr
"orig NAL packages, OF of going on
the sick list and making II drug store
affidavit. Our city is now, however,
gradually filing MP with people who
prefer to live where the law lis en-
forced and wish TO have their children
enjoy the graded school system which
is becoming an important item among
the advantages of this community
The fact that the law is now enforced
is owing to the vigilance Of our city
police force. They are the only off
GERS who are paid for their time in
this line of duty The sheriff and
county attorney cannot afford to
stay Oh the streets, watching
for whisky joints. 1t is true no
one could run an unlawful liquor place
without being prosecuted by the coun
ty authorities, but jointists generally
have no horror of Jail life and do not
kick much at staying behind the bars
half the time if they can purvey coffin
varnish at intervals between times.
Therefore now is the time to settle
the joint question for the ensuing
year.

ON THE UP GRADE.
From the Topeka Capital.


Over IA million dollars of farm
mortgages have been released of rec.
ord III Kansas in the last twelve
months, and in many eastern coun
ties farms are selling at the rate of a
farm day. In Marshall county a
half million dollars haye been paid
out by resident farmers in the pur-
chase of more lands in the last six
months. In the same reriod more
farms have sold for cash than in last
three years, and they bring from $40
to $50 per acre. Similar reports
come from every part Of the state.
Farmers own nearly all the bank
stock held in Kansas, and their bank
deposits are enormous. It is an every
day occurrence for Shawnee farmers
to come to Topeka to pay off mort
cages not yet due or to seek advice
about how to invest their money. Not
only are the farmers all over Kansas
paying off their own debts, but they
have lifted lot Of indolent shysters
into office and enabled them to pay
