PROPOSED NEW MAP
OF wichita by &. X. Alien,
ANNOUNCEMENT.

1t has been thirteen years since the
large map of Wichita was puphsheu'
Since that time many changes nave
taken place in the city. One hundred
plats Of divisions and subdivisions nave
been filed for record, many miles OF new
streets have been opened, and several
miles more have been paved. Some out
side additions have been vacated.
The fine public buildings have been
erected. new railroads have entered the
city. and new factories have been
located
The prospects today are good for an
era Of advancement and prosperity New
railroads and new factories are talked
Of and the prospects are good for sew
eral additions in the near future 10 the
number already here. Real estate Is be-
ginning 10 change hands, and an era OF
building seems to be near at hand.
Unde- such conditions a map is one Of
the first sources Of information sought,
and only one up to date would be OF
much value.
In compiling the new map we will have
recourse to the county records and to
private surveys and examinations. We
hsre arranged with the city engineer for
TIE use of such data as that office
affords. among which may be mentioned
he opening, widening or narrowing up
Of streets and alleys. and many other
items Of official information.
We shall survey the rivers and show
comparison with Z. S. surveys. and show
acreage Of lands abutting thereon.
We have had twenty-five years expert
ence in compiling maps, and have be-
come experts in such matters, and we
can assure the public thai every effort
Will be made 10 produce a map that will
be accurate, up to date. and one that
Will be standard authority for years to
come
This will only be done in case a sufi-

vance TO justify its publication.

Atlanta, Ga, April 27.-The action of
Popuhst conventions in several northern
states in endorsing Hon. Thomas E.
Watson of Georgia and naming him for
first place on the ticket, has caused some
thing Of a stir in political circles all over
the south. The association Of Mr.. Wat

into politics took the form in one in
stance Of a report that he had decided
to accept the nomination and that he was
considering who should present his
name. Mr. Watson has stated several
times that he was out Of politics, but in
view of recent rumors connecting him
prominently with the Populist nomina-
ton, the distinguished Georgian was ask
ed for a final declaration The following
was received from Mr.. Watson today:
Under no circumstances would 1 accept
any nomination or any office. Please
number me among the politically dead
and let me henceforth rest in peace"

BELIEVES N TRUSTS
Carnegie Says They are Good
for the Poor
AS WELL AS THE RICH
Tendency Should be Encour-
aged, He Thinks.

New York, April 27.-Andrew Carnegie,
in an essay In the May Century, en-
titled Popular Illusions About Trusts"
advocates great aggregations of capital
says: Every attempt to monopoiize the
manufacture of any staple article carries
within its bosom the seeds of failure.
Long before we could legislate with much
effect against trusts there would be no
necessity for legislation. The past proves
this, and the future is 10 confirm ii.
There should be nothing but encourage
ment for these vast aggregations OF CAPT
tai. for the manufacture of staple arti-
cles. AS for the result being an increase
of price to the consumer beyond a brief
period, there need be no fear. On the
contrary, the inevitable result of these
aggregations is, finally, and permanently,
to give to the consumer cheaper articles
than would have been otherwise possible
to obtain: for capital is stimulated by
the high profits of the trust, for a season,
TO embark against it. The result is very
soon capacity of production beyond the
want Of the consumer. and as the new
works erected are of the most improved
pattern, and capable of producing
cheaper than the old works. the vulner-
able trusts are compelled to buy and
capitalize at two or three times their
cost. There is thus no danger ahead to
the community from trusts, nor any
cause for fear.
Competition in all departments of hu-
man activity is not to be suppressed. AL
ready the ghosts of numerous departed
trusts which aimed at mono2olies have
marched across the stage of human af-
fairs, each pointing to it's fatal wound,
inflicted by that great corrective compe-
tition. The only people who have reason
to fear trusts are those who trust them.
1--WE conclude that this overoOwering,
irresistible tendency toward aggregation
of capital and increase of size in every
branch Of product be arrested or even
impeded, and that. instead of attempt
ing to restrict either, we should hail
every increase as something gained not
for the few rich. but for the millions of
poor seeing that the law is salutary,
working for good and not for evil. Every
