THIRTY YEARS LATER

II might be inferred from much Of
the talk heard in these days that the
Unied States Is pursuing a downward
course. and that a comparison of the
present with the past would give many
reasons for Encouragement. The re-
verse of this idea is true, says the
Globe Democrat, after admitting that
the country has for four years been
passing through an unsatisfactory ad-
ministration. The memory of the ma
jority OF men reaches back to the year
1867. That was flush year at the
end OF the war. The government had
paid out immense sums in closing up
military accounts, and hundreds Of
thousands of soldiers had received pay
ment in full. II Is, therefore, sharp
test of 1896 TO put It under definite an
alysis beside 1867. Persons who are
celebrating the good old times and
grumbling about existing conditions
should welcome the deadly parallel,
and not find fresh cause for complaint
il this trial by simple arithmetic goes
against then.
The figures are from the nineteenth
annual abstract Of the Bureau Of Sta
It's tics. which has just come from the
government printer. Let the much
discussed per capita" open the tour
ney. All who can recall the year 1867
have the impression that the circula-
ton of money was then lively. In that
year the per capita was soil; in 1896
is was S32.S6. The per capita of money
in circulation in 1867 was SlS.2S, one
half Of it valued in gold at 72 cents
ON the dollar; in 1886 the per capita cir
culating was $2l.lO, all valued at par
nj gold. The per capita Of the national
debt in 1867 was 1926; the year 1896
saw il reduced to S13.A. Between the
same years the per capita Of interest
on tha debt declined from 1884 to 40
cents, and the annual national tax on
each citizen from 1897 70 S4.s4. These
changes for the better are so striking
that no disgruntled citizen VIII ven
ture to mention the subject of per cap
ita unless he is thoroughly misinformed
about It.
In other directions the comparison
comes out quite as we'll Our ppulation
has about doubled since 1867, when
the estimate was S6,211,O 900. Now it is
l.26S,0O0. Each citizen now averages
an annual expenditure of $1.16 on the
postoffice, against AZ cents in 1867. The
average expenditure on public schools
Is so per cent greater than in 1867. These
two items show positive advance m
civilization. Imports are about the
same per capita, though the volume
has doubled. In thirty years duties
on dutiable goods have declined from
1857 per cent to 4O.1S per cent. and
on all imports from I44.56 per cent 20
sO.s7 per cent Exports are greater
per head in the proportion Of s12.11 to
1913. The average American uses more
than twice as much cotton as in 1867.

1t is said that every hearty laugh

a new and different stimulus TO all the
organs OF the body from what Is in

THE NORTH TOPEKA sEwE&.
Why it Should be Built-Leading
Men Who Favor Tt

A party reading the article in the
Daily Capital of Thursday morning, the
29th inst, reporting a meeting held at
the fire station for the purpose of re-
monstrating against the building of a
sewer in the First ward, might posi-
bly-having no other information
form an opinion that said meeting was
quite a successful affair; such, however,
is not the case. Quite number of the
gentlemen present were decidedly in
favor of some system of sewerage in
the First ward. It was not a repre-
sentative meeting of taxpayers by any
means, and of those present probably
not more than twenty were opposed to
the sewer.
This opposition is nothing new. In
any community where public improve
ments are agitated or talked of by the
progressive citizens there will always
be found some who rise up and attempt
to stand in the way and oppose all works
of such nature. Such people are but
stumbling blocks in the paths of prog
reSS. but, like the poor, they are al
ways with us.
At this meeting many statements
We're made that were misleading and
untrue, made either through ignorance
or a desire to conceal the truth. The
statement was made by one person who
had great deal to say in opposition to
the sewer-and said person, by the way,
does not live in the proposed sewer dis
trict and owns no property in it, and
the building of it will not cost him one
penny-that 1.-The cost not to exceed
S25 per lot average only provided for
the main sewer and lateralS would cost
extra This statement is untrue. The
resolution adopted by the city council
that said sewer shall not cost to exceed
SIS per lot average provides for all lat
erals, touching all property in the dis
trict, and the cost will probably fall
considerably below this amount, but at
least cannot go above it, and is pay
able in ten equal annual payments.
For many years there has been q
continued effort on the part of our
business and professional men to see
put in some system of sewerage. The
class of men who have connected them
selves with this movement should GER
tainly preclude any possibility of any
personal gain to be derived in the fur
therment of this project. They are
public spirited and successful business
men, who feel that the interests of
North Topeka would be greatly benefit
ed by a modern system of sewerage
They recognize the fact that to hold
their better class of citizens and first
class tenants who are able to pay good
rents residence property must have
these modern conVenienceS; that if we
do not provide them they will go where
they can be found. Modern improve
1nents always increase the value of real
estate. Added to this are the state
ments of our physicians that sewerage
