To TIE Editor of the Eagle:
I would send the railroad committee to
Emporia and get that railroad which
the NJ +. & T. is going TO build from
Emporia to Omaha. Then build it from
here southeast. to intercept with its
Texas line.
! I would stop the free lunch counters,
and in this way drive the fake newspaper
correspondents out of town
I would change the architecture of the
city building so light could be thrown
on the stairway from the second 10 the
third floor.
I would not elect any more men 70 the
| legislature who used their position to
place their property outside OF the cor
porate limits Of the city-but would elect
/ man and instruct him TO get an act
passed bringing property back into the
city limits TO where it belongs.
I would build an electric railway from
Wichita TO Gueda Springs. The farmers
and towns alor the line would give q
right of way. and many of them would
do grading. In fact, 1 think that com
biration could be gotten up so that it all
could be graded free o fcxpense TO the
builders.

in city. and he SAYS he pays 90 cents
for gas. and that the company which fur
nishes it says it costs the company IS
cents to deliver the gas. That he vnl
take the contract 20 furnish this city with
gas at one dollar. If this city gives a
franchise without specifying that gas
shall not be sold for more than one
dollar. they will make a mistake-for gas
can be furnished the consumer ct the
cost of thirty-fve cents. with the present
price of coal. and when the Choctaw road
reaches this city Il can be made Tor

Speaking OF the Choctaw railroad and
her coal fields. how long 60 you suppose
the Rock Island is going to keep ont of

What we want is manufacturers to

If the city council can secure !ele-
phone exchange at a maximum ra.e. the
same city council can secure gas at a
maximum rate of one dollar per thous
and.
The street car company are 10 be
corgra tulated on furnishing extra cars
evenings. So Ear SO 5000, but they fail
utterly to accommodate the theater gcins
people, crowding fifty passengers into a
neutrality-suspicious. car-then an awkward,
clumsy collector ceiling to the passen-
gers to "crowd up They crowd up. and
make room. and he follows Up the crowd
ing process with pushing his way
through the crowd to collect-and not in
a single instance does he announce the
streets or pay any attention to the exit
of the passengers.
Just tear away and burn up those
herbacious vines which grew in front of
your houses last summer. They are I'M
slightly.
They say the new telephone system has
one grievous fault. That is, that you can
hear too well.
Some one sent me a bulletin Of the
National Council of Women. An item was
marked. May SeweH Wright spoke
braveIy on the right of woman to equal
place on the right of divorce" I think
the records Of the court will show that
nine-tenths of the divorce cases are
brought about by the women seeking
them.
one of the most fashionable dressed,
fy fellows in this town. who does nothing
hut loaf and pose, has no other visible
means of support than his wife who is
correspondingly shabbily dressed and
earns the living for both. Shame,
How quickly the stopping of the work
Of the white wings was noticed. K must

Almost every day. rain or shine. there
can be seen a horse standing in front OF
an establishment near the corner of Mar
ket and Douglas. south side-a horse with
both of his ears torn off close up to the
I head. The wounds are not healed up. and
/ there seems to be no interest taken to-
wards relieving him. Give Us humane
society.
Guess who it is Hundreds and nun
