Topeka Should Spruce Up in
Honor Of Mckinley.

THE business houses along Kansas
avenue should undergo a transforma-
tion." said Major T. J. Anderson to a
reporter for the State Journal this
morning.
1T is an undisputed fact that we have
some very disreputable looking business
blocks along the citys best business
street. and the appearance of these
buildings could at least be improved hy
the expenditure of a little money and
tie use of a paint brush
President Mckinley will visit Tope-
l<a on June s, and viii be driven through
the city. We should be very particular
to make the best appearance possible
and the only way to do that is to use a
liberal supply of paint.
Upon the event of the first fall festi-
val in this city in 1896 the business
men and property owners fairly outdid
themselves in fixing up and the changed
appearance of the street was more than
enough to repay the cost of the inn
prOvements.
THE matter of again cleaning up and
taking on some style is a matter worthy
of the most careful attention of our
people and should by all means be look
ed after
