Get UP TO DATE.
Topeka Should Inaugurate Her
New Mayor
And COunciImen as the Big
Cities Do
BY FLORAL DISPLAY
Why Not Make the Occasion a
Civic Celebration
In Honor of the Municipal
WaterWorks,
The Auditorium, the New Parks
and Greater Topeka.
BY FLORAL DISPLAY,

1t is the custom in many cities, par
ticuIariy Chicago and Philadelphia, TO
decorate the desks Of a new mayor and
couneiInen on their Inauguration night
with bouquets and set pieces of flowers
1t IS a graceful compliment from the
people to their public servants and
means that they viii appreciate good
service from their city government
The State Journal suggests that on next
Monday night, when Mayor Drew and
the new council go into office, that in
honor of the beginning Of q Greater
Topeka and of the three great projects
that are TO be taken up under this ad
ninistra ton - municipal waterworks,
the auditorium and public parks-that
the desks Of the counciInren and the
mayor be decorated with flowers, and
that the walls of the council chamber
be hung with bunting. MarshaI's band
might give a public concert in front Of
the city hall preceding the opening of
the session The inauguration Of a new
administration in a city of $1,000 people
is IN reality 4 matter of great moment
and an occasion TO be celebrated Too
often our counciInen are permitted 10
toll early and late for the benefit Of the
city. with practically no adequate rec
Ognition of their efforts. and many a
time they get only criticism and un-
pleasant remarks for their pains For
years Topeka has had scores OF good
OuuCiInAn-0uly here and there one
that fell short of public esteem-and 1t
IS no more than right that the city
should reward with its smiles those that
serve it Let Us make Of the Inaugural
ton an occasion OF rejoicing Our pub
lie officers viii work all the more dill
gently and cheerfuIly when they feel
that the public has kind words and a
helping hand for them II might not
be too much of a good thing TO sug-
gest fireworks and other evidences of
public enthusiasm
The Commercial club would do well to
look after the floral decorations and
the celebration il general. while friends
of the mayor and council could be de-
pended en- to contribute floral tributes
TO the desks of the officials
Let Topeka be up TO date and have
