To the Editor of the Eagle:
think Mrs. Carter has the hearty sup
port and commentator of every intelli
gent citizen for the course Of lectures sh'
has so admirably arranged for. The frs
is an earnest of those to follow.
would name the new waterworks parl
Island park.
I heard man making the air blue Fri
day morning with a dissertation on boys
If he had his way about il, there would
be no boys this morning. 1 felt sorry
for him. He has neither boy nor girl and
it has been so long since he was boy
himself he has forgotten it.
would not allow farmers TO drive their
teams into downtown alleys, unhitch and
feed.
I would decide that the time for the
temporary laying OF the stone between the
street car rails was up and it should be
done permanently.
1 would not allow these tree cutters who
90 about town to cut down a tree and
| leave an old scraggy stump TO decorate
the front yard. The way to have tree
chopped down is to dig the earth away
from the roots and pull the tree over,
roots and all.
would stop the teamsters, coal haulers,
lumber and dirt haulers, from driving
over the sidewalks in the city. The city,
through the Vaccinations of the side
walk contractors, compel people to build
walks where there are no improvements,
on the green prairie and yet furnish them
no protection.
Just take Kansas and Oklahoma map,
! draw a line down the Arkansas river to
keystone, TO the junction of the Cimarron
and Arkansas rivers, then in the same
general direction to South McAlester on
/ the Choctaw railroad. Twenty-Five miles
east of McAlester the Choctaw will run
a branch line south through Paris, Texas,
to the Gulf The route between Wichita
and McAlester is one Of the best railroad
propositions in the limited States.
II there is one man more filthy than
the man who spits on the sidewalk or
street car floor, it is the fellow who spits
in the hot air register OF a church-and
there are such fellows.
Hello, central! Give me Abilene, Kan
sas I will be back in time tomorrow to
talk with him, unless you conclude TO
send an A. D. T. boy after him.
I would build a cold storage building in
this city that would be large enough to
keep a part of the fruit crop that is
shipped out each fall. The facilities we
have at present are not sufficient to hold
one-tenth OF the product.
I would have a board Of examiners be-
fore whom applicants for marriage
license should appear. and unless they
could pass a welI-establshed standard.
physically and mentally, a license should
not be granted.
If you want to take q real trip that

amount, take the Rock Island to Hobart,
then hire a team and drive through the
Wichita mountain country. among its
parks. along its winding. clear-running
streams, see the blanket Indian that has
almost become extinct, the mining town,

I would tear that bulletin board down
on North Topeka avenue. between First
and Second. I would not allow it 10
stand there over night. The party who
put it there had no right to do it, and if
allowed TO remain there it won't be but a
short time before the town viii be COW
cred with them. All the principal cities
in the country are fighting bulletin
boards. and this city can save itself lot
of trouble, expense, and preserve the
beauty of its resident streets by calling
a halt at the very beginning. If it is not
stopped every vacant prominent lot in
the resident portion of the city viii soon
be occupied by one. and every child in the
city, from the Kindergarten up TO the
college, will be- on their way TO and
from school, compelled to face a lot OF
nasty bulletin board literature.
The school board or some one made a /
tremendous hit when they changed the /
hours of the High school. There viii be I

Every day boys with three-wheeled /
wagons are allowed to propel them along f.
the sidewalks. Il IS to be hoped that f.

men.
