A deal was consummated yesterday
whereby a syndicate Of Wichita men be-
came the owners Of the Kansas National
bank building, securing it from the for
mer owners at price Of $4,000. The

and the location could not be improved.
The wichita men at the head Of the
syndicate are Mr.. c. G. Chandler and
Mr.. z. Z. Maste-mau, both connected
with the Kansas National bank
The building was owned by a syndi-
cate Of eastern men, and they were rep
resented here by Mr.. Coler Sim. The

men to make q permanent home for the
Kansas National bank.
The property is not old by any means,
and was erected some ten years ago, It
is substantially built Of two stories with
a basement. well fitted for Offices. The
bank has the greater part of The first
floor, and the upper floor is used for Of
hlces.
The Kansas National bank has been in
that building for number Of years, and
to think of it being at any other place
would seem very peculiar.
The price that it bought is in advance
Of any other corner near it. The oppo-
site corner sold a year ago for a lower
sum. The corner south Of it has price
much lower, but in accord with the
amount paid for the Kansas bank build
ing.

WHAT THEY ARE DOING
President Howard Tells of Plans OF
Associated Charities.

To the Editor OF the Eagle
The attention Of the people OF Wichita
is earnestly invited to the Associated
Charities, an association with headquar-
ters in the basement Of the court house
in charge of Mrs. Couch.
Wichita, by virtue Of its size and I'M
portance in the great southwest, IS the
Mecca at all times of the year OF hosts
of tramps and professional beggars, who
come here to do the town with various
plans Of begging both for money and
for clothing. After some success, greater
or smaller according to circumstances,
they pass on, and in the same manner
do" other towns in the neighborhood.
It is needless to insist that these tramps
and professional beggars are a burden to
the city. and carry from It every year
wealth that may run into hundreds Of
dollars. But this is not all Of the re-
suit The citizens Of Wichita, being
thereby so much poorer. have at the
same time encouraged a class Of para
sites that are danger to the body po-
ltc a class from which IS recruited a
large per cent Of the criminals Of the
country. Now, the object Of this associ-
alton is to do acts Of charity, not in
sentimental, but IN a rational. scientific
manner, so that the unworthy may be
discouraged from fattening on the pub
lie and that the worthy poor may at
the same time be helped and encouraged
70 help themselves.
Most Of the so-called charity that is
done that is, in the form OF meals given
and lunches handed out, and sometimes
in the form Of gifts OF clothing and Of
money. is not charity at all. but is rather
a vicious way OF easing ones conscience
vicious in that such charity Is an en-
enlargement to the recipient to live com
fortably without working. Meals are
easily got for the asking. and old cloth
ing nearly always finds its way from
the beggar's hands into the secondhand
store. BY promiscuous giving many an
inprovident person Of weak character is
hardened into tramp or PROFESSIONAL
beggar, and becomes a danger and a
parasite to society.
Rational. scientific charity IS that char
fly which helps a man to help himself.
The worthy poor we have always with
us the victims Of ill-fortune through
sickness. death. accident or hard times.
and these It IS the duty OF the commun-
ity to relieve and 80 encourage and as
sist toward seif-help. with this object
IN view. Of separating the worthy from
the unworthy, the Associated Charities
begins its work. It has the support OF
all the churches. or most Of the secret
societies Of the city and Of the Kings
Daughters. and asks the support Of all
citizens by donations Of money. OF cloth
or not can aid the society. by refusing
to give promiscuously. and hy sending
all applicants to its headquarters In the
court house. J. z HOWARD
