WHAT WOULD CRITICS nor

The United States is into the Philip
pine war and it is difficult to under
stand how this country is going to get
out of it till AguinaldO and his band are
first whipped into submission. 1t goes
without saying that if this government
backed out now it would place itself in
q ridiculous and humiliating position
before our own people and before the
nations Of the earth. The eyes of the
civilized world. and the uncivilized
world too, have been centered on the
United States since Dewey went into
Manila bay. To retire from the Philip
pines now would be Ikened unto our
forefathers had they given this country
over to the Indians after getting it from
England and other nations. The events
Of the last sixteen months have pre-
scented problems which will require the
wisest craftsmanship to solve.
But the problems can not be ignored.
They must be brought to a solution AS

to use the name of the state in bring

city council to delay the building of the

the petition sworn to and filed some

Mr.. Jetmore makes the excuse that
he granted the request as a matter Of
courtesy, and upon a petition signed by
80 residents of North Topeka asking
him to do so. It would have been con

other 10000 voters in Topeka if Mr..
Jetmore had refused aid to the OBJ

City Attorney Bird is out of the city

Judge Hazen will also be out Of town

It was a hot afternoon. The men at

possible, to keep cool In the stalls the
horses were stamping viciously at the

away at his desk in his shirt sleeves
with his favorite meerchaun, a present

forth a ring of blue smoke which went
curling upward toward the great fire
bell in the tower. Everyone about the
place looked lazy. Even the chief, as he
tOiled over columns of figures and bills
and vouchers, looked worn and weary.

Rural Free Delivery Experiment
Proving Satisfactory.
Rural

cumseh rural free delivery route has
been in operation, Carrier A. P. Round
tree has delivered Alb papers and 81 let
ters. He has also collected So letters to
be sent out.
Postmaster Guthrie thinks this is a
good beginning, considering the fact
that carriers are not allowed to take
out any mail except for persons who
have their boxes up. The farmers are
all glad the route has been established,
but they are slow in putting up their
boxes, expecting the carrier to bring
mail to them, but he is not allowed to
do this.
Judge Guthrie says that he receives
inquiries from people in the most re-
mote parts of the county, asking when
the service will be extended to include
them.
