To the Editor of the Eagle
Now that the packing industry has re-
ceived fresh impetus, and it won't be
long before more packers will be coming,
the next thing for the city to do is to
organize a strong local company, take UP
the preliminary work that has been done
by Engineer Jackson and push that
southeastern road to finish. 1t will be
worth a half dozen packing plants. The
Missouri. Kansas and Texas or the Choc-
taw stands ready to cooperate with the
| scheme TO its early completion and oper-
alton. Next spring, early, the dirt ought
to fly all along that route.
Miss Jetta Grover Campbell, who gave
a musical recital at the First M z.
church for the Ladies Aid society of
that church, was greeted with a large
and apprecative audience. She can Just
~ feel proud of the success of it, She
has a rare voice. So, too, Miss Emily
Torrington, who was her accompanies.
showed remarkable skill at the piano.
playing in the most artistic manner the
ing note. Both of these young ladies
received many congratulations for their
skill as artists.
If I were a member Of the legislature
from Wichita I would secure the passage
Of a bill granting the city privilege 10
levy small annual tax for the benefit
Of the library. Also a bill enjoining the
mayor, the superintendent of the city
schools and the judge of the district
court to elect and fill vacancies Of five
directors, two ladies and three gentle
men, for one, two, three, four and five
years. This would place the library in
the hands Of a thoroughly competent and
interested board who would be able to
make the City Library what it ought
to be.
There have been a number of families
moved to this city, business and profess
sional, coming from towns and localities
where they represented the wealth, the
religious, refined and social of their re-
spective communities. The older residents
of the city, the church societies and clubs
ought to take an interest in these new
Corners at once and make them feel at
home.
The domestic question is growing more
serious. There seems 70 be a great deal
of work done in domestic science teach !
ing girls and women how to cook. It
looks very much now as IF the coming
domestic will be a man. Won't it be as
well to include in the classes boys as Well
as girls?
would secure the passage Of a bill |
authorizing the city to levy a tax for
the sprinkling of the principal streets in
the city and the park. There is no rea-
son why a few persons should bear the |
burden for the benefit of the entire city.
People usually go TO the opera house to |
be entertained and amused, and when |
the curtain is UP they don't want to be |
annoyed by some giggling girl who has |
lost her head because she has a beau.
It's hard enough to stand between acts.
There IS a lot of careless driving on the
streets. There are a number of private
coachmen who do not know or act as if
they did not know, that pedestrians have
just as much right to the streets as
teams.
Since the introduction Of domestic sci
ence and the organization Of cooking
clubs, with their elaborate menus, it is
amusing to listen to the fellows who
were raised on sorghum, corn bread and
bacon, discourse on what to eat
7 saw a fellow taking apples from a
store and thought it might be a case of

he would not wash some windows for

There is too much carelessness upon
the part of the motorneers in the ring
