To the Honorable, the Board of Police
Commissioners:

To the Honorable, the Board of Police
Commissioners:
While you have been maligned upon
every hand for your efforts to suppress
the drink habit and while the purpose
of this open letter is not TO pass upon
its feasibility, l still think there is one
matter, vital to the best interests of
this city you have overlooked. The
suppositiOn that you have our highest
good 1t heart is but natural and | enter
tain it. But while you are using Her
culean efforts to close and keep closed
that destroyer of youth and age, in
the form of liquor, do you not overlook
the fact that the hope of the nation is
in the home? 1t is but truth when I
say hundreds of lads, barefooted and
With trousers patched with the same
are roaming the streets nightly making
night hideoUs, ladies blush and all
rightminded people despair for the flu
ture moral health of Wichita. II is no
doubt well to enforce law. You are
sworn to do so. Yet does it not seem
perfectly clear to you that in following
the one enemy in his lair, you are leav-
ing the home unprotected. Many of
these youths are being debauched by
the poisonous cigarettes. Indeed last
night | saw dozens of them who only
removed the paper iniquity at such
times as a torrent Of profanity forced
an eruption that was awful to cOntem-
plate. North Fourth near the SAL
walton army tent is a favorite place,
and if a metropolitan officer was there
he did not interfere to save these young
gaminS from themselves. Do your or
ders to your force preclude their at
tendance upon such trivial 60 mat
tiers?
Are you mistaking a sucking lamb
for a roaring lion?
Are the boys not worth saving? Can
you overlook such a state of affairs as
allows boys of from six to twenty at
all hours of the night to profane our
once beautiful city, while you are seek
ing to accomplish what,to many. seems
TO he ''up-stumpibus. non-come-ati-
bus?" For the love of humanity, listen
DO the duty that lies nearest, God
will take care of the rest"

WHAT THE PEOPLE PAY.
County Clerk Carvin Gives a Few Facts
A bout the Taxes of Wickita.


There has been a good deal said
about taxes in Wichita said County
Clerk Carvin yesterday" but when You
come to the real facts the taxes are not
so very high in this city,
The tax levy this year is S4.S71a on the
500, and last year it was $5171a. There
was no assessment of real estate this
year SO you see the assessment is less
than last year.
The assessment is made on a basis of
80 per cent of cash values and if you
were to multiply our present assess
ment by three and one-third you would
get the cash value and we could raise
the same amount of taxes on that cash
hundred dollars.
Mr.. Carvin is doubtless right in his
calculation and there are very few peo-
pie who knew anything about the rate
OF taxation on their property. They
know how many round dollars they
pay and that is all. If people would
look more to the assessment and the tax
levy they would soon ascertain that tax
es are not high here as compared with
other cities
The main thing in the assessment Of
taxes is to make every property holder
to pay his fair proportion, and every
day men are heard on the streets max
ing unanswerable arguments in favor
of listing all property for taxation at
its real cash value.
1t would not make any more taxes to
be paid but would make the rate less.
Some assessors may make mistake in
getting the 80 per cent, and all could
come pretty near the cash value, which
would more evenly distribute the bur-
denS of taxation.

BLOOD WILL ALWAYS TELL
Boys at the Stock Yards Offer to Wager
Money on a Three Mon hs- Old Colt.

Sedgwick county is fast becoming IA
nous for its trotting horses and nearly
every year some new wonders are devel
oped.
They now have wonder up at the
stock yards in the shape of a three
months old colt that can pace nearly as
fast as a common horse can run.
The colt is the property of Robert
Peoples, the man who raised famous
Minnie p. and was sired by Russell D.
by Ellerslie Wilkes.
W. L. Dulaney has offered as good as
$500 for the colt and ]. 3. Blakemore is
willing to pay good round cash price
for the flyer.
Mr.. Peoples has just measured the
colt and he brought ii down TO the stock
yards where il can be mulched day and
night and guarded against accident.
The colt is as clean limbed as a cat.
with finely cut head and neck and full
eye, and is in every respect a perfect
picture of the thoroughbred. What
it viii do when IL is three years old is
problem. but some of the horsemen are
willing 10 risk some money on the
chances of its being fast. The boys at
the yards offer 10 put up money that
Crescent" as ii has been named. can
out pace any colt in the world OF its
age

THEY WANT THEM HERE.

The subject Of bringing John r. Gen

fair is being discussed by local horse
men. The scheme that finds most fav-
or seems to be to raise sufficient sum

CAME FROM ALBION
FIVE SUBJECTS OF GOOD QUEEN VIC
ARRIVE IN WICHITA.
They Came Here to Go into the Fast Horse
Business and Get Pointers About How
to Make Turf F1yers-Their Appearance
Very Suggestive Of the Good Old Days
Of the Runnymead CoIony-Couldn't
Understand Prohibition or the High
License on CigArettes-Theya are Young
Fellows Who are Up to SnufY.

The fame of Wichita as a horse center
has Travelled for and near. 1t has trav-
eled as far as England, the little home
of the empress Of India.
Yesterday four young gentlemen
dressed in the usual garb of their ma
ton, alighted from the train at the
union depot and were taken charge of
and located at the Hotel Carey by Har-
~ Dietrich.
Their presence reminded one, and
very forcibly Of the days when Runny-
mede fiourished, when some seventy or
eighty of the younger sons of England
brilliant career of farmers.
The young gentlemen who arrived
yesterday are w. w. Keat ting of the
County of West Meath, Ireland, and CT.
II. Eldrid, Thomas Scruley and ]. NJ.
Steel of England. Sam Estridge is the
fifth man of the party, but he did not
arrive, having been detained in New
York to await mail of Importance.
Today the boys will visit the Toler
horse farm if Mr.. Steele, who is sick,
will be able 10 travel.
The young men came here to engage
in the business of raising blooded horses
having heard in England that this was
very well fitted for such a pursuit. Their
determination TO locate here became
more fixed when they ascertained that
Wichita was the home of John r. Cen
try, or a least his birth place.
After visiting Toler they will also Wis
it the Jewett stock farm at Cheney and
after that they Will visit the stock
farms of Mr.. Kitzmiller and others.
The introduction of American horses
and the American principles of develop
ment Of speed has created quite an in
terest in England, and it is deemed a
part of the education OF young gentle
men to come over here and study in that
line
What they will do after seeing these
stock farms is not definite as yet, but it
is safe to say that the young men will
eventually invest considerable money
in horsefiesh.
q. II. Eldrid was partly educated in
this country, but for the past few years
has been in Australia, and in several
other fractions of the vast territory ov-
er which Victoria yields her scepter.
Mr.. Heating, the Irishman, naturally
drifts into the affairs of the Emerald
Isle in his conversation. He says the
country is very quiet at present, being
entirely free from the disturbances that
characterized it a few years back.
The young men We're inclined TO think
that good deal of prejudice existed
against Englishmen in this country, but
they We're surprised at not observing it
to any great extent. 1t was no easy
matter TO get them to thoroughly I'M
derstand the fact that the sale of liquor
is illegal in Kansas and they were SIM
ply dumfounded when they ascertained
that the sale of cigarettes was practic-
ally prohibited in Wichita.

WHY THE STORES FOR SALE.

A man profound and seeming wise.
Who made name
And business fame
With printers ink
That made folks think
Went hereto: why advertise,
And day by day
Just throw away
The hard-earned rocks?
My name now talks:
My growing trade my stores vast size,
VIII draw the crowd
And talk more loud
Than columns wasted every day
On ads I'm sure no longer pay"
He cut the printers down one-half:
The saving made the old man laugh;
But day by day
Trade fell away.
Success had made the old man mad
His business soon got awful bad
But still he wouldn't advertise.
And store for Sale" caused no surprise.
