body, and if you hurt him the whole city
should feel it.
'How many of the hard headed bust
ness men who are noted for their saga
city, understand that the distribution of
wealth makes any difference to them. If
you told them it did, they would not be-
lieve you.
"Now we will say a man has
$4,000 year income, and there are
100000 other men who make barely
enough to live on. Will the man with
the 100000 income consume that
amount? Will he buy more corn, or more
wheat? It is evident that he will buy
only what he needs, and then quit. But
how about the other 100000 men? They
will buy what they can and then stop,
and the business man suffers in conse-
quence; and yet the people cannot under
stand how the concentration of wealth
can in ure trade. If II million men have
no money to buy with, the millionaire
merchant has nobody to sell to.
"The business man is very busy. He
must attend to his business and he has no
time to vote, no time to go to the prima-
res. The result is that quite another
class of men make politics their business
and the city passes into the control of
the politicians and we have the Crokers,
the Tweeds, the Boss Platts. The
people must get beyond themselves,
they must take an interest in something
else than mere business and then the
problem of the city may be solved"
A vote of thanks was rendered Prof
Will for his address. The next meeting
will be held July 3, but the programme

WE ARE TOO SELFISH.
That's How We Bring Municipal
Evils on Ourselves.
PROF. WILLS LECTURE LAST NIGHT

Business Men "DOn't Have Anything
to do with Politics" but Politics
quentiy Has Something to DO
with Them-It Breaks Them Up in
Business.
Thomas E. WIN, professor of political
economy at the state agricultural college,
lectured before the Municipal league
last night on "Problems of the City"
Prof. VIII knew what he was talking
about and his lecture should have been
heard by more of the representative
people of Topeka. He is a small man
with a pleasant intelligent face and
wears full beard carefully trimmed in
the English style. While he makes no
attempt at oratory his language is forci-
ble his points clear and his logic fault
less.
The lecturer compared the modern city
to the cities of centuries ago rather I'M
favorably to the modern city.
THE problem of the city" said he, sis
the problem of civilization. The great
question now confronting the people of
the cities is how to avoid the frightful
poverty; how to get rid of the hideous-
ness of the slums with all their terrible
results; how to present a clean bill of
health.
different men assign different causes
for these conditions. Some say it is due
to rapid growth: yet. still We see the
same or worse conditions exist in the cit
les of the old world. Others attribute it
to immigration, and all our trouble is laid
at the door of the foreigner.
81 think that one of the prime causes
of the trouble is our ignorance. This
statement may startle people who have
always considered themselves very wise,
but they are wise in some things and
ignorant in others. They do not have a
proper appreciation for our civilization.
You cannot live among ssvages and re-
main civilized yourself; you can't stay in
the slums and remain as you now are.
The people are too selfish. They do not
understand how they are concerned in
the welfare of the citizen who may
live in another part of the city. They
do not understand that each individ.
uai in the city bears the same relation tc
the corporation as the finger does to the

THE decision of the Illinois SUI
preme Court declaring the Whisky
Trust an illegal combination in
restraint of trade and in contra
vention Of sound public policy is
not the first judicial declaration
against trusts, but it seems to be
the first rendered by a court Of
last resort which smokes out a
trust from its attempted conceal
ment behind a corporate charter.
The Whisky Trust calls itself the
Distilling and Cattle Feeding
Company, but the court holds that
this is only another name for the
old Distillers' Cattle Feeding
Trust.

one of the planks Of the Iowa
platform is indicative of the in
creasing wrath Of the Populists at
the fact that so many contracts
are being made payable in gold in
order that the creditor may be
sure that he will be paid finally in

cent silver or 5-cent fat scrip ones,

Iowa farmer who sells his land on

ings Of his lifetime, and he stipu-
lates for payment in gold. The
Iowan who has saved up a little
money and lends it to a neighbor
to improve his property with, lends
dollars which are as good as gold
and he stipulates for repayment IN
gold dollars. In the hope Of stop.

contracts, which will protect some
