The other evening as his daughter
approached the house In which this
physician lived she heard the strains
of "Home, Sweet Home" proceeding
from the library.
Fathers at it again." she said to
herself softly. 81 wonder who he has
coerced into playing for him now?'
glance disclosed the fact that he
had bribcd three street musicians, two
violinists and harpist into giving
him a private recital. They finished
the air just as the young woman enter

with beaming face. THAT Nearer,

1t was the first time he had commit

that moment, for his daughter told the
incident as what she considered IN ex-

five minutes before Mrs. Gallup volun-

that he had neither anxiety nor sym
pathy, she hitched her chair into the
doorway, used a fresh spot on the
apron to wipe her eyes and finally said:

NON-PARTISAN POLICE.

Several things have been learned from
the police controversy in Topeka, the
most important being that a police off,
GER requires special fitness and that a
man may be a good politician and not a
good policeman.
The mayor deemed it necessary to dis
place the chief of police but he found
himself in a most serious dilemma. There
was no one to take his place. He search
ed the town over but found no one he
considered satisfactory and this gave
rise to the controversy concerning the
purpose of the mayor to appoint a man
who did not live in Topeka.
There. are men in Topeka who are
qualified for chief of police and it is not
necessary to go out of the city to find a
man but it is evident that he is hard to
find. People resent the attempt to name
an outsider but back of it is an entirely
different motive for the objection.
If the police department had been d.
vorced from politics ten years ago there
would be no trouble to find a chief of
police now When men are made police
men because of a reward for political
service it is not surprising that good po-
licemen are hard to find.
Topeka's police force ought to be put
upon a civil service basis and men
should be trained for the work just as
the firemen are trained When a man
is found who has the elements of a good
officer he should be encouraged by pro-
motion and when a man is engaged who
lacks the qualifications which go to
make policeman he should be at once
discharged. The safety of the people is
poor thing to tamper with for the ben
eft of politicians.
-.s--
department from politics but Topeka
follows along in the old beaten path the
victim of partisan politics and petty po-
litical methods.

The cooperative movement in Great
Britain continues TO show healthy and
vigorous growth. According to reports
submitted at the recent annual meeting
of the labor association. there were, at
the end of 1899. 1862 registered co-opera-
tive societies in Great Britain (Ireland
not included), with a membership of l.
100000, a share and loan capital of S27,-
O0O, 900, and a reserve of nearly 92,000,-
600. The profits for the year. on trade
of 969.000,00O, amounted to G7 800, 900,
after paying per cent on a capital of
nearly e30, O00, 900. Out of their profits
the societies voted during the year Geo.
900 to education, and s25,000 to charity.
The cooperative stores employed about
10000 committee men," chosen by the
members to manage the business. and
over $4,000 other employees, while the
population directly affected by the
movement is estimated at 10000

B. OF L. E. HERE IN 1904.

The Topeka Commercial club and the
citizens of Topeka generally should be
interested in the union meeting of en-
ginemen to be held here in the new audi
torium October 8. In starting arrange
ments for this meeting the members of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers in this city had in mind the cap
ture for Topeka of the national conven-
ton of their order in 1904.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers have never held national conven-
ton III Kansas. This, notwithstanding the
fact that for several years Kansas has
numbered within its borders as many
railroad men proportionately as any 9TH
er state in the union. There is not a more
up-to-date, wide awake class of men IN
the country than the Kansas railroad
men, and it is only. fit that the most
powerful of the railroad orders should
take cognizance of the fact by holding
it's general sessions here.
The year 1904 will be that of the Kan
sas seni-centennia1 celebration. 1t will
be particularly appropriate that an or
ganization drawing delegates from ev-
cry portion of every state in the union
should hold forth here during that time.
If the Topeka public will show sufficient
enthusiasm over the meeting next month
it will start a movement which will
undoubtedly land the joint meeting of
the B. of L. E. and Ladies' Auxiliary in
this city four years hence.

TEARING UP STREETS.

The city ordinance relative to the plac-
ing of lights at night to show that
streets are INSTRUCTED or that excava-
tions have been made in the street is not
being observed
Serious accidents may result from
such carelessness. The ordinances require
that danger lights be placed to warn
people who are driving of any danger
GUS places in the streets. A large amount
of street grading had been done this
summer and streets have been left in a
dangerous condition with no lights to
warn people of the danger. No attempt
has been made to enforce the ordinance.
People who have contracts for street
grading should have forethought enough
to place danger lights but some of them
do not have that forethought and for
them the ordinance has been passed.
Three times this summer the fire de-
partment has had narrow escapes from
serious accidents from streets being dug
up and material being piled in the streets
with no lights out. Such conditions are
most dangerous to the fire department
on account of the speed at which the
companies have to go but such obstruc-
lions and excavations are dangerous to
all people who drive at night.
1t would be well for the police depart
ment to look after the enforcement of
the ordinance or the city may have some
just damage claims to look after.
