Every Topeka man will do everything
in his power to make that part of the
city handsOmer and cleaner. The To-
peka of 1903 will be far different from
the Topeka of 1898. Ten years will work a
great regeneration and all should put a
shoulder to the wheel. Kansas ave-
nue. is the finest street in the world,
and Topeka should bend every energy
to line every part of it with handsome
and substantial buildings. This change
Is sure to come, and by united effort
it can be brought about many years
sooner than it would otherwise.
