A DUTY TO THE PUBLIC.
The Investigation Set On Foot Should be
Thorough.


That there has been rottenness in the
administration of the affairs of this
city, stealings, bookings and BLACK
mailings within the past few years,
the Eagle has often enough asserted
and the people have believed. The rot
tenness which has been upon the part
OF officials was made more easily pos
sible under the laws governing cities
OF the first class by a commission ap-
pointed by the chief executive of the
state. Happily such possibilities for
the present. are not 10 be feared. But
pre- hahl, NJ one vas prepared for lhe
condition of affairs which is now cllarg-
cd To exist in connection with the adj
mIiliStI Attn Of Inv, equity and JUS
tice around the court house, the facts
so far as developed having appeared IL:
these columns. That there should be
an intimation of crookedness among
the members of the bar of the district
court astou1ded the people without
integrity, the strictest integrity upon
the part of the bar the court itself.
however able and conscientious is GER
tain to do great wrong and 10 outrage
justice An attorney is as much an Off
Ger OF the court into which he has peen
admitted to practice, under cath as the
judge himself. All that the Eagle
knows of the charges, and of the sub
seouent proceedings il has made pub
lie. For the sake of public trust ard
the public conscience, for the sake OF
not only the litigant and his innocent
heirs, but of that of practicing attor-
neys and their future, the charges OF
officials and counter charges of attor-
neys touching the receiving and apph-
cation of fees and costs ought TO be
cleared I'D. The judge and the commit
tee of inquiry appointed by him, owe
IL m themselves and to the public, to
clear the atmosphere of its present un-
certainty and apprehension Wbatev-
er arm of the public service may fall
beneath the han of suspicion hope Will
not fail so long as the people are assur-
ed that the courts, their judges and OF
ficials are honest and upright in the
administration Of its legal processes.

THEY ALL WANT IT
LIVE TOWNS UNITED IN FAVOR OF
THE STATE NORMAL
Many of the Best Towns In Kansas Favor
the Purchase of Garfield by the State
They Want a Great Normal School ut
Wichita Broad Minded Patriotic Men
Sign a Petition to the Legislature
Local Committee is Doing Good Work
Much VIII Depend on Effective Work
by Wichita People.

There is every reason to believe that
great state normal school will be
established at Wichita
The committee appointed by the citi-
zens meeting is doing a good work
and the movement is assuming prac-
teal shape which promises good re-
suits for not only Wichita but all south
western Kansas.
1t has been demonstrated since this
movement started to have the state
purchase the Garfield university build
ing and to establish a state normal
school here that other surrounding
towns are taking an interest In the
good cause.
The local committee delegated W. F.
ScheIl to go to some of the surrounding
towns and learn the sentiment of the
people in regard TO the movement and
Mr. Schen was surprised at the senti-
raent in favor of a normal school at
Wichita.
MIR. Schell found that the people or
the cities and towns visited by MIN
looked at the matter from patriotic
standpoint. They believed that SOUTH
western Kansas needed a normal schooi
and if Wichita had The building suit
able for the purpose, which they be-
lieved it did, they were in favor of the
state buying it and especially SO since
it could be got at a great bargain.
Mr.. Schell visited Hutchinson, New
ton, Kingman, Anthony, Wellington,
Caldwell, Ell Dorado and Nickerson and
found the people willing to give Wich-
tia a lift in the enterprise, claiming
that while they would be helping Wich-
ha hpiy a
NAL school near their own towns.
At Hutchinson, Newton, kingman,
wellington and FL Dorado the county
officials, district judges and prominent
business men all signed petition to
the legislature asking that state nor
NAL school be established in Garfield
university.
The enterprising business men Of
Nickerson and Caldwell also showed
their good feeling for the enterprise
by signing the petition. And the peo-
Die of their towns like the others visit
ed showed themselves to be broad mind
ed and took a sensible view of the at
fair.
The cities represented in this list are
among the best trade centerS OF Kan
sas and whether anything comes OF
this movement or not Wichita people
will remember the generous action OF
these people and will seek an oppor-
tunity to return their favor for their
unselfish devotion in good cause.
A petition of this kind is of much
value because the members OF the leg
isIature from those counties will feel
it a duty as well as a privilege to help
along the good cause when they see a
petition by such an array of prominent
men from their own counties. II the
normal school is not secured at Wtchi-
ia il will not be because we have not
the assistance of good people.
