In speaking on the rudeness and
recklessness of children, one of our
exchanges says: There is every
reason to believe that the conduct
ofchildren is conditioned very large
ly upon their home training. 1t is
true that heredity counts for some
thing, but it is beginning to be in
creasingly believed that it is COM
paratively unimportant when con-
trasted with environment. The
reason many children have no sense
OF the meaning Of discipline is be-
cause they control their parents.
When parent finds himself obliged
to confess that he has no influence
over his I2-year-old son he acknow-
ledges himself a failure. No greater
misfortune can befall any child than
to be born into a home in which the
parents are weak and helpless, with
out the feeling of responsibility for
the futnre of their offspring and
without either the inclination or the
ability to train their children.

FROM DIR. MANCHESTER.

I have read the Topeka Daily Capt.
tall with considerable pleasure. 1t is a
good, clean paper, such as one might
place before his children confident that
it would produce only beneficial results.
To my mind the average newspaper
caters too much to depraved tastes, is
too irreverent toward sacred things, and
uncovers too much of the nastiness of
crime
'The Capital is to be commended be-
cause it does not do these things, and
yet even Mr.. Sheldon is not entirely free
from strong partisan bias, but has al
lowed his prejudices to sway his judg-
ment in a very few instances. Upon
the whole, the paper is excellent. 1t is
upon an elevated plane, it's morality is
pronounced, but it is not especially val
liable as a newspaper. Perhaps this is
true because it is a new departure
While saying this, permit me to remark
that 1 think it offers a suggestion to
what newspaper might be. Especial
ly do l APPROVE of Mr.. Sheldons solution
of the Sunday paper problem. A good
helpful issue, printed and delivered Sat
urday night, is great desideratum in
this particular.

BOTH COMPANIES
LOSE FRANCHISES.
Commissioners Get Tired OF
Waiting For the Lines.
AKRON AND ALLIANCE ROADS
Both Cut on and If they Want to Build
Now They VIII Have to Get a
New Franchise Had
Done No Work.

The county commissioners on Tuesday
morning took up the matter of street
railway franchises and revoked those Of
the Stark Electric Railway company
and the Canton-Akron Railroad COM
pany. The resolution declares that
whereas, the commissioners had, on
February 10, passed a resolution and
notified the companies that unless they
complied with the terms of their fran
chise and constructed the roads, that in
thirty days the franchise would be de-
clared void, and, inasmuch as the COM
missioners were satisfied that the COM
panies had not complied with the terms
of the franchises, therefore the fran
chises OF both roads were revoked.
The Stark Electric Railway company
was TO build a line from this city TO AL
lance and the other was to connect
Canton and Akron.

church of today does not preach 10th
century theology. and that to be a
Christian it is not required of one to
swear by the Nicene creed or any other
creed of the middle ages The church
mission is to make Christians. not to
force people to accept any Anselmic or
Calvanistic theories about Jesus. What
is a Christian? One who follows Jesus,
endeavors to get his life and character,
and who looks up to him as humanity S

FROM REV. HATHAWAY.

Editor News-Democrat: My opinion
as to the value in moral and religious
way of Rev. Sheldon's venture:
1t has set the world to asking-What
would Jesus really do in the newspaper
business? 1t has put one of the finish
ing touches to the thought and purpose
of his book. In the year 1900. 1t has
caused the name of Jesus to be exhib-
tied as the standard of every name.
However much he may have failed in
his editorship, this fact cannot fail of a
rich general moral influence and a deep
ening of the religious convictions of
Christians. No one will think, perhaps,
that the Lord Jesus would have edited
the Topeka Capital as Rev. Sheldon
has edited 1t. Herein lies the greatest
value of his venture. 1t makes people
enquire, who was Jesus" and what
did He do?" In the light of such ques-
tions, had you asked us to answer the
original one, proposed by Mr.. Sheldon,
1 should 'have answered, He would not
have gone into the newspaper business
at ALL He Is reported as having said
even when good was done: go tell no
man." His policy seemed to make the
news so good that people could not keep
from publishing 1t, even though COM
manded not to do so, and so abundantly
good that the eviISwould be seen to be
entirely overcome by the good. Then
news readers would be as He would
have them, and not as he would do
them. Meantime, think that he would
have us know that there is evil to over
come. e"Let both grow together until
the harvest" Rev. Sheldon's venture
and this kind request for opinions, ETC.,
prophecies at least or the harvest"
Respectfully,
JAY G. HATHAWAY.

In response to this request, we have
received the following:
REV. BREWBAKER'S OPINION.
Editor News-Democrat: Having read
''In His Steps," by Rev. Charles M.
Sheldon, l became anxious to see and
read the ideal daily, which he pictured
so graphically in that little volume.
Considering the age in which we live,
our surroundings, and that Mr.. Sheldon
is human like the rest Of us, think he
gave to the public last week, in ''The
Topeka Daily Capital" to a large de-
gree, a realization of his ideal.
His stand against the Sunday daily is
a sufficient rebuke to one of the greaest
evils of our day. The paper is clean in
it's editorials, news columns and adVer-
tisements. 1t cannot help but elevate in
morals and religious thought and also
give an exalted idea of good citizenship.
Any person can read IL and not have his
finer sensibilities destroyed or the niger
nature debased While the paper may
give room for some criticism and may
not please the popular mind and eye
because it lacks that sensational spirit
and attractive mess by which the mod
ern paper is characterized, yet taken as
a whole I think Mr.. Sheldon is to be con-
graduated for it's clean face and health
full contents.
Joyous the day when every newspaper
of our land shall wash it's hands and
face from blood-curdling murder and
war stories, prize fights, divorce cases,
unchaste and sensational illustrations
and advertisements. and cry out with
undaunted courage against existing
evils and will no longer be a menace to
the Christian Sabbath, society and the
home. Sincerely yours,
CHARLES w. BREWBAKER.

BRIDGE FUND TO
BE REPLENISHED.
Floods of Two Years Ago
Cause an 0verdraft.
THE LEGISLATURE PROVIDES,
Permitting the Commissioners to Issue
Bonds to Take Care of Depleted
Fund, and 1t VIII Require About
S3S,OOO to Fix the Fund Up.

The county commissioners have been
wrestling since Friday with the ques-
ton of disposing of $3S,00O worth of
county bonds to replenish the depleted
bridge fund. A short time ago the leg
islature passed a bill permitting the
commissioners to issue the bonds to take
care OF the overdraft in the bridge fund,
caused by the floods two years ago. 1t
will require about $4,000 to fix the fund
up in good style and the commissioners
on Friday last voted to issue the bonds
to straighten up the account. These
bonds are to run for two years when
they will be paid off. The first payment
Will be made next December, at which
time $1,000 will be cancelled. After that
$500 will be paid every six months till
all are paid. A special levy of taxes will
be made to pay this amount. The COM
misiOners voted to pay per cent inter-
est on these bonds. 1t was the intention
to distribute them around to the differ
ent banks, giving each bank a portion.
Saturday the matter was brought to the
attention of the Peoples Savings bank,
and that institution agreed to take the
whole lot at Az per cent. A meeting of
the commissioners was hastily called
and they voted to accept the offer and
award the bonds all to the Peoples Saw
ing's bank.
After this had been done. the First
National bank heard or 1t and agreed to
take the whole lot at per cent. Other
banks also intimated that they would
like to have chance to bid. The COM
missioners had already passed resolu-
ton giving the bonds TO the other bank,
however, and the Peoples bank objec-
ted TO having the bonds take n from them.
