To the Editor Of The Eagle.
I would name the new park Mckinley
park. and would put it in the incest condi-
ton possible; bunG a dam in the creek.
raise q fund for a Mckinley monument, to
! be known as the Sedgwick county school
chidrens monument. There are ten
| thousand children IN the county of school
| age. If each child would give one penny
d week during the ten months of school
/ it would make fund sufficient TO erect
/ quite a creditable monument. L would
issue TO each scholar contributing in full
/ TO the fund a nicely printed certificate
| bearing q picture of the late president.
! stating that the holder was a member of
the Mckinley Monument association, as =
souvenir. The county superintendent could
arrange for the fund in the district schools
and the superinterdents of the town and
city schools could form an organization
and in conjunction with the county super
intendent and the presidents of the col
| leges arrange matters in an hours time
TO start the fund. Let US 90 TO work and
be the first county in the state to erect u
monument % the memory OF this great
and good man. The City Regulator viii
take one membership in each district
school in TIE county. Let Us show our
loyalty. patriotism and love of country
and help inspire patriotism in the youth
of our county by doing patriotic things
and this viii be one means.
It is now time for the First Methodist
church and the First Presbyterian church
official boards to build sheds and stalls
over their stable ground. as winter is
coming. The two churches that have the
best opportunity, on account of grounds,
to beautfy and make attractive without
any perceptible extra expense. allow
them to represent barn yards. and the
congregation is often regaled with a barn
yard chorus.
I would introduce into all the la6ies'
clubs and organizations of whatsoever
kind a resolution making it a INSIDE
meanor and against The rules OF the or
ganization for any member TO wear
skirts or gowns that sweep the sidewalks
and thus prevent the gathering of germs
Of every form and description, and carry
ing them to the home
I would make the grade of the side
walk between First and Third streets on
Topeka avenue conform with the grade on
the balance Of the streets. There is no
practicable or legitimate reason why it
should not be done The toboggan slides
on that street are an insufferable NUS
anee and should be promptly abated.
I would leave no stone unturned to pre-
vent the introduction of smallpox or Gu
ban itch again in the city this winter.
Owing TO the fact that it is seldom fatal,
there is entirely too much laxity in en-
forcing the quarantine laws 1t is entirely
too expensive. The city and county need
the money for other purposes.

Wichita Board of Trade. It's motto was:

I would. after cutting a limb from a
shade tree, paint it with something that
would stop the leakage of the sap, and
prevent it from cracking again, and thus
prevent it from rotting and disintegrat-
ing, and finally reaching and rotting the
body Of the tree.
I would. in view of the experience and
success of the United Charities work last
year, renew my diligence for the coming
winter Careful and intelligent work VIII
