tinuously.
I would not allow little children to go
to public funerals unattended.
see the telephone exchange has
furnished its Wichita patrons with a new
Kansas City telephone directory. 1t
bears the same old and appropriate trade
mark for Kansas City peoples taste-a
donkey.
OF course, as long as those poor half
starved newspaper fake reporters can get
a square, 25-cent meal from a grain
gambler. in addition TO 50 cents from a
newspaper for their stuff, they viii write

have been watching the slot machines
that are on the sidewalks. with gum and
peanuts, and out OF every one hundred
boys that pass one Of these machines,
ninety-fve of them viii give it
yank without dropping a penny-think-
ing, possibly, they might catch it, or get
something for nothing.
Despite the fact that there is city
ordinance forbidding hay wagons from
travelling the principal thoroughfares of
the city it would not surprise me to hear
any day of a policeman being crushed
by being run over by. loaded hay or
straw wagon.
Great is our supreme courts. On the

] am glad TO see that the city is going
TO purchase ground for a new park. It is
just the spot. That part of the city IS
growing rapidly and viii grown faster

Phoenix Park lies just north Of the
Cudahy packing house. The mill race
runs through it, There is a ravine in the
grounds. which leads to the race. We can
have a dam just below the entrance Of
the ravine and a park by dam site.
I suggest that every voter. Immediately
after casting their vote. go to Schneu's
nursey. near the park. and buy a tree and
plant it. Three sensible things 70 do
plant a packing house. a park and
tree.

We again hear the roaring Of the dam.
and there is a lot of other roaring be-
