When Deputy Superintendent of Streets
Andy Donovan said this he said it as
though he meant t. and, moreover, gave
his reasons for so doing. 1t simply means
that there has been fliction between the
Board of Supervisors and the Superin-
tendent of Streets. and that it has re-
suited in clash that has left the advant-
age with Mr.. Ambrose
There are mum Der of resolutions passed
by the board that the Superintendent has
refused to recognize and will not under
any circumstances carry out. He has
been advised that any public official who
commits an illegal act is responsible for
the same, and he does not propose to un.
dertake anything that will place himself
or his bondsmen in the line of financial
loss.
Some time ago tho board passed a reso-
luton, in response to a petition from
property owners asking that a house on
Brady street between Valencia and Mis-
sion be rem owed, authorizing and direct
ing the Superintendent of Streets to re-
move the structure forthwith. The
resolution stated that the board would
indemnify Mr.. Am brose for any suit that
mlRht be brought against him.
Mrs. ORourke, widow, and her fam
lily OF little ones occupy the house, and the
widow claims an interest in the property.
The superintendent pigeon holed the reso-
luton because he did not desire to take
chances on getting into legal tangle, and
the board, or at least some of its m m bers,
desires to know the reason why and to
force the Superintendent to explain his
reason for failing TO obey.
1t was when informed of this latter fact
that Deputy superintendent Donovan
said, The Board of Supervisors be-
"The board, said Mr.. Donovan, seems
to think that all it has to do is to tell us to
do thing and that we will blindiy obey.
We know better, for on more than one
occasion the Superintendent has been
dragged into legal squabbles that have
been expensive and annoying.
"On one occasion ne had to prove the
title OF a man to a piece of properly in
order to escape paying big damages. In
this case as in many others that we nave
recently refused to handle there is a aues-
ton as to the title of the property and
Mr. Ambrose does not intend to pull any
ones chestnuts out of the fire.
THE proper course for the board TO pur-
sue if it wants Mrs. O'Rourke and her
little ones removed is TO instruct the City
ana County Attorney to begin suit that
will settle the rights OF all parties.
"Mr. Creswell knows that the board has
no right 10 put such burdens on us. We
are not going TO move Mrs. O. 'Rourke or

WANTED TO BE RESCUED.

Two Chinese Women Taken From Vile
Surroundings Last Night.
Two Chinese women living in a low
house on Bartlett alley, near Sullivan al

the Presbyterian Chinese Mission that
they desired to be rescued from the life
they were leading. They stated that they
were under l8 years of age and that their

Outlying Sections.


Representatives of various sections of
the City called on the Buildings and
Grounds Committee of the Board OF
Supervisors yesterday to tell of the reeds
of their districts in the way of school
buildinEs.
Messrs. Hubbs and Moloney of the
Richmond District spoke for that section,
and stated that 1t would take an eight
room brick building to accom- odate the
pupils. They wanted it built on the
Twelfth-ave school lot.
Presicio Heights citizens wanted the
Madison Prim ary School turned into an
eight-room building, and Precita Valley
representa- YES asked for a four-room
building to be erected near Holly Park.
Sunnysi de- the Excelsior Homestead
and the Five Mile Improvement Club also
asked for school facilities, and it was the
con sensus OF opinion among the CO N nit
teemen that all the applications should be
favorably reported to the board.
Provision will be made for these build

There is every prospect that the old

of the Board of Health, will be allowed to
resume business after it has heen put in
sanitary condition. The edict OF the
Health Department conten plated tearing

William Wolf, the proprietor, had
conference with DR.. Fitzgibbon recently
and the latter agreed that if Wolf would
carry out certain plans proposed he would
advise the board to permit the house to be
tenanted.
Plum be-s are now at work and will put
in an entirely new sanitary system. The

tirely satisfactory to the board. 1t is ex-

read at next Mondays meeting of the
board and action taken permitting Wolf
to continue his business.

can, with just enough Performers" to
keep up noise and constant kick.
They have done nothing but kick ever
since, until finally through the assist
ance of crop failures, democratic mis-
management, and consequent unrest
among the people generally, they have
become the majority party, and are
now in power in all branches of the
government Of Kansas. The republic
cans are now minority party, and
thisg gang of kickers who have assumed
control, not being able to find any mis-
deeds among them to kick at have sue
ceeded in tiUding all kinds of buga-
boos in their own holer-than-thou
outfit, and are accusing each other Of
having received brides, broken pledges,
and the charge of traitor is one of
their favorite epithets when having a
love feast, Well, of course they will
fight. No reasonable person could eX-
pect a party made up of such a con-
glomeration Of back-number politi-
cal mis-fts to do different. A party
born of discord, reared on reputation,
and now feeding on crop failures and
the general shortcomings of their fell
low man, could do no less.

nartY of Promises.

The pops, in their campaign last
fall, promised radical railroad legisla-
tion; they are not going to give us any
of it. They also pledged themselves
to cut down the fees and salaries; it is
now about even chances they will not
ut down any salaries. They said that
they would abolish lot Of Offices and
thereby cut down the enormous eXpen-
ses;they have not cut down or discOn-
tinued single Office, but, on the 9th
er hand are trying to create score
more. They promised to rip the stuff
fin out of the Kansas City stock yards
and the combine of the commission
men; they haven't ripped anything
and will not They promised to cut
down the rate of interest and give
bankers and money sharksa black eye:
the rate has not been cut down and
there have been no eyes BACKED. They
were going to stop the free pass bust
ness; one of the few laws that have
been enacted provides for some more
free passes, and none have been abol-
ished. They are great on promises
and pledges, but are very small on ex-
ecution. They can't blame their fail
ure to do these things onto the repub-
lican members, for there isn't enough
republicans in both House and Senate
to be classed as scattering. Still the
rank and file, the common herd of their
party will believe "they did the best
they could" and will continue to
whoop it up for that kind of reform"

corruption.

1t should not be a source of sur
priseto any one that bribery has been
attempted in the Kansas legislature.
Every populist candidate for Office told
the people last fall that legislation is
secured by means of money paid tC
legislators. This declaration in itself
caused many men to seek legislative
offices, for the sole purpose of of secur-
ing some of the DOODLE. 1t goes with
out saying that some Of those who
sought found. There was majority of
both houses elected with the ayowed
intentention Of ''doing up" the corpo-
rations. If threatened legislation was
enacted, it would practically drive out
of the state many of its institutions,
and would cripple the others. 1t was,
if the legislators were.honest, a fight
to the death with them. The MAORI
ties i'm both houses were hostile. The
corporations must do one of two
things; they must either buy some
members of the legislation or they
must quit business. They could not
quit, but they have been given ample
ground for believing that they could
do the former. A corporation has nc
soul to lose by way of wickedness, and
the decision between death and Doodle
was soon made, and made in such a way
that the legislators who did not 60 to

Kaw were greatly pleased. tits appar-

the corporations to die by the acts of

reason that they are given lease of
life may be easily guessed, even if one
is not very good guesser. Lawrence

Kansas Politics.


There is something peculiar about
Kansas politics and politicians. In
the first place, nine-tenths of the pop
ulation are politicians, more or less
mostly more. In the second place,
there are so many offices to be filled,
and the terms of Office so short that a
large per cent. of the population are
Office holders. In the third place, when
a man once gets a taste for Office, he is
an exception to the rule if he is ever
satisfied to become a common, ordin-
airy citizen again. Neither the impor-
tance of the Office nor the size of the
salary cut much figure. Elect man
pathmaster this year, and he must
head the ticket for trustee next, and
county commissioner the following.
If you start him by electing him to
the legislature, he must run for con-
gress at the next general election, and
if beaten for that, try governor, and If
again beaten, will ask the endorsement
of his state for minister to England,Or
something bigger. Itseems that lit
tie office is"a dangerous thing" When
an average man gets the nomination
of his party for an Office, if elected, he
wants it again and something better
when his time is up; if defeated, he
thinks he must be appointed to some
thing. He is never grateful for past
favors, but must have another boost,
and if he don't get it openly, joins the
enemy or sulks in his tent, which is
worse. or course this thirst for office
is the corner stone of the populist par
ty, but the idea Of thinking because
you have had one term and been de-
feated for a reelection or re-appoint-
ment gives you lifetime pull among
the fixers, pervades all political par
ties.

T.eedy'S Veto.

Ia The Harris railroad bill which
passed both house and senate by res
pective majorities was vetoed by Gov
ernor Leedy Tuesday as being too con-
sentative and uncertain. The bill was
prepared by State Senator NOW U. S.
SENATOR Harris, and was sup
ported by the republicans and the con-
seryative pOpulist, Jones and Farrelly
of this county both supporting it. No
one need feel disappointed. Governor
Leedy quit farming and entered poll
tics as he himself said because he could
not make living farming. He is now
making the effort Of his life TO make a
living out Of politics and as he repre-
sents the reputation elements Of his
party, it is not to be wondered at that
he wants to cater to their wishes. BY
this veto, Mr. Leedy has made himself
solid with the noisy element of his
party, the element who talk and work
at politics for a living, and cultivate
their farms as a kind Of side issues
Mr. Leedy bythis coursecan be renomi-
mated for the element in the party
which he has catered to, while not in
the majority, always succeed in getting
themselves on county and state dele
cations and can capture and control
the conventions. This party of broken
promises will be showed in so deep at
the next general election that they
will not know they were in the race.
