ways discuss each other from one Of
three standpoints and decision is rem

cussion is musical, impressionabIe or

It is probable that means a little
more than impressionable and not as
bad as hysterieal. Kansas had a fur

peeted to be, for from them are its
characteristics derived in the first
place. If illustrations in the flesh are

ACT IN THE OPEN.

Public officers are expected to be open
and above board. They are supposed to
have an open record of what they do
for the inspection of the public Star
chamber proceedings always give the
idea Of some underhand work that will
not bear scrutiny
The county commissioners are expect
ed to come under the same unwritten
law as others who hold positions of
trust. It may be true that the COM
missioners have committed no act that
will not bear probing and public scruti-
ny but the actions of the board would
certainly Indicate as much. The secret
agreement with a law firm to assist in
the prosecution of the antitrust insur-
ance cases may have been a perfectly
good business move but the county
fathers spoiled any credit they might
receive for the act by locking the
agreement in a strong box and not
placing it on record. Such things al
ways leak out and the commissioners
would have done themselves much
more credit to have openly announced
their action and placed it in black and
white in the minutes of the meeting.
When the commissioners awarded the
contract Tor a county DrluSe TO a DID,
der who had not complied with the
regulations governing the competitive
bidding they may have done a wise
thing which win save the county a neat
sum Of money but why did they get
their heads together and whisper so
that no one attending the meeting
could hear word? Why did they gath
er in corners and Railways with other
bidders and go through whispered con-
situations? Was there anything wrong?
If there was not then why were the
commissioners so mysterious and secret
about their actions?
Anyone attending a meeting Of the
board Of county commissioners might
imagine that the commissioners en-
ployed every resident in the county
and that they. the commissioners. own
ed the property instead of giving the
idea that they are public servants and
working for the property owners and
residents of the county. Would not a
little more straightforwardness and
business principles be a good hypoder-
mic dose for the county fathers?

Isn't it about time for Kansas to do
something on broad principles and put
a statue on TOP of the state house dome
that will be a credit to the state? There
has been entirely too much chrome
work about the state house and too
much tawdry decoration The bas re
lief work in the interior of the dome IS
enough to make one think of the Aztec
Indians, and the cheap and highly col
ored limitations of the female figure are
calculated to give a. weak individual
nervous prostration-it is certain that
no person like them ever existed in
Kansas. The ceiling of representative
hall might be mistaken for d job lot of
cheap oil paintings from a second hand
store, and except in the senate chamber
the interior Of the state house shows
evidence Of an utter lack of taste and
a cheapness that does no honor to one
Of the greatest states in the union
The question of a statue to surmount
the dome is one that deserves serious
consideration. 1t will be where it must
be seen. Once there it's ugliness and
] lack of symmetry can never be yelled
1t should be symbolical of the beauty
and vigor of Kansas womanhood, and
/ by all means should be executed by a
sculptor of renown. The question OF
expense is not important, for Ceres
must stand in the most prominent posi-
ton in the state for ages to come
Then why should not the executive
council meet the question in a broad
and comprehensive manner? Why not
select some healthy Kansas girl to
typify the health, vigor and grandeur
Of the state. 1t certainly would not be
a difficult task in Kansas.
The executive council is made up OF
men with broad minds, and they should
meet this question in the proper spirit.

SELL THE SANTA FE BONDS

What has become of the beautifully
engraved, richly colored, $1,000 bonds,
issued BY the city Of Topeka for the
purpose of buying land to be used for
new santa Fe shops2
why have not the bonds been sold2
These two questions are of interest
to the people who voted for the issuance
of the bonds mentioned. The people
have a right to know what is being done
with the privilege which they delegated
to the city officials.
The bonds, or by far the greater por-
ton Of them. are safely slowed away in
the vaults of various Topeka banks.
They are there as security for $4,000
which the city has borrowed from the
banks, and on which it is paying 6 per
cent interest. This amounts to $3.50
a year. That is the answer to the first
question
To the second. it can only be said that
the bonds have not been sold because
the city has not found a purchaser.
Whether or not the city has used the
proper efforts to find a purchaser, is an
other story.
The city has done with its bonds what
an individual does with his watch when
he needs money. The bonds are in
soak" The city is obliged to do just
what an Individual is compelled to do
when he does business with men who
loan money on valuables." 1t is
obliged to pay extremely high rates Of
interest. 1t is of advantage to the city
to sell the Santa Fe bonds. and get
them out of soak as quickly as posi-
bic, for the bonds themselves draw only
4 per cent interest, while the loan for
which they are the collateral costs the
city per cent.
Twice the city has advertised the
Santa F'e bonds for sale in the columns
of financial papers. Only one bid was
received, and that one required a. COM
mission for the sale. The city is not
allowed to pay a commission, and the
bid was rejected.
The members Of the council think that
it will be unwise to advertise the bonds
a third time, and SO efforts are being
made to dispose of the bonds at private
sale. The mayor asked permission to
sell the bonds at private sale. but the
permission was refused by the council
It was limited that the council was
afraid the mayor would try to get a
rake off, out of the transaction, while
some Of the councilmen We're planning
to accomplish the sale Of the bonds and
get the rake off themselves.
The reason that there are not more
bidders for the bonds is thought to be
due to the increased stringency in the
money centers, due to large failures,
and some unfavorable trade symptoms.
The city of Boston recently issued
bonds at 80 per cent, which would be
eagerly purchased under ordinary con-
ditons, but Boston is still hawking its
bonds about the market without pur-
chasers. The Topeka shop bonds. at 4
per cent. are in the same fix
It is to be hoped that the council Will
find some way to dispose of the bonds
at once and stop the piling up of large
interest bill which viii have to be paid
in addition to the interest which is ac-
cumulating on the bonds themselves.

RISE OF CHARLES M. HAYS.

The retirement OF Charles NJ Hays
from the office of president OF the
Southern Pacific railroad has been
strongly limited at, and although there
has been no formal announcement Of
the fact it is undoubtedly assured.
Such a move can not help creating
some regret among western railroad
men and those who have watched the
career of Mr. Hays. Beginning rail-
road life in 1873, he did his first work in
that line as Office boy for the Atlantic
& Pacific at St. Louis. Since then his
advance has been steady, and without
anything to be put down to his dis
credit After leaving the road under
which his apprenticeship was served he
went to the Missouri Pacific later to
the Wabash and finally after a stormy
session of the British directors of the
Grand Trunk he was made general
manager of that system in 1886.
He found a railroad system that had
not been paying dividends for a long
time. as a result of wrong or incom pc
tent management. Stin the lines Of the
system tapped a vast fertile country,
and it did not take the new manage
ment long to size up the situation and
proceed to make improvements. The
pay of the employees had been kept
down, and recognizing the fa.llacy of
this practice wages We're at once in
creased. New equipment was pur-
chased. the old renovated. and at the
first meeting of the board of directors
in London after the change of admins
tration it was indeed fortunate that
the young general manager was no
nearer than the other side of the At
lay had been astonishing, but the in
come had not increased corresponding
". Two years later though when the
directorate met, there was q decided
change for the better and a large divi-
dend was declared This Improvement
of conditions continued until Hays left
the road
A few months ago he was summoned
to the head of the Southern Pacific,
succeeding the late Coils p. Hunting
ton This was before the Hartman
syndicate secured control and merged
that road with the Union Pacific. Al
though from reports, Hays and Harri-
man have disagreed as to the policy of
operating the Southern Pacific, it must
still be said to the credit of President
Hays that under his direction that road
has greatly strengthened. Huntington,
his predecessor, was a great railroad
man in many ways, but in others he
seems to have lacked sagacity Through
a policy usually regarded as greedy and
selfish he became thoroughly hated by
the people of California. His successor.
however, from the very start has won
the people of that state by an admin
istration magnanimous while at the
same time possessing the character
istics Of good business. His manner of
facing and solving the weighty prob
lens which come TO the head of a rail
road system Of the extent of the South
ern Pacific shows his ability and the loss
which the west is to sustain in his
withdrawal, no matter who may be
| named as his successor.
