To the Editor Of the Eagle:
would sell the grass growing in the
park to the highest bidder. instead Of
having the park workmen spending their
time hauling it of on a cart.
Why don't the Country club invite the
Braeburns on some special day TO their
grounds and entertain them-a friendly
contest and luncheon?
There is a decided inclination on the
part Of many people who drive along the
avenues TO pay no attention TO the white
authority and cary club. as well as a
shovel and broom.
I would run summer cars 10 Paramount
and do twice or three times the amount
OF business that they now do in the closed
car.
I would take lot Of livery peedees ard
coon coachmen in the town who abuse
horses which they drive. transform them
into the poorest, knock-kneed. fy bitten,
flea bitten. rinsboned. spawned plug that
could be thought of and then turn them
into field fun Of cockleburrs, where
they could do penance for a summer sea-
son.
London and Paris have taken up the
crusade against the men who spit in
public places. IN Paris the latest popu-
lar demand is for nothing more or less
than public cuspidors, not only in public
buildings but at convenient intervals IN
every street and boulevard. This demand.
be it said, is III eresult of hte last order
Of the project being posted on every dead
wall in the CITY. forbidding expectora-
ton on a public walk The same demand
IS being made in London. They are more
sensible over in Paris and London than
Wichita. where the law that f0rbids you
70 spit on the car floor makes no proTis-
ion for a cuspidor.
I thought that golf was a game for
recreation and pleasure rolliclIing ram
bic over the prairie with friends and
neighbors to the end in a lunch and
smoke. and then home physically tired
enough after a tub to sleep well. But
when it comes to change the color and
smell Of the air over a foozle, please ex-
cuse US.
would commence tomorrow morning
to arrest and fine any person who burn
ed leave or trash in the city limits As
soon as the leaves began 10 fall the peo-
pie begin to burn them and from Sep
TENDER until December we are RECALLED
with a smudge so that at times the city
seems TO be enveloped in cloud of
smoke.
There his been a great deal Of disap-
pointment expressed by residents Of
North Lawrence ayenu north of Eleventh
street that the resolution for guttering
and curbing did not reach as far north
as Thirteenth. Lawrence avenue should
be made of uniform width. graded. curb
ed. guttered and widened to conform
with the balance of the street and the
same as Topeka avenue.
I would get up a remonstrance IL I
lived on Topeka avenue against cutting
down the width of the parking. They
are entitled to the same amount of
ground for the purpose of identifying
their homes as the residents of Lawrence
or Emporia avenue. The street railway
was forced on them and they ought not
TO be further imposed upon.
I would appoint a city fool killer with
full power to act. making one reserva-
ton, the city poet laureate.
1 would not allow the livery stables TO
make wagon yards out Of the streets.
I would establish the Delaware whip
ping post for the special purpose Of fog
ging gossips and the people who stir up
neighborhood broiIs and quarrels. am
quite sure that the first half dozen that
would get basted would be men not
withstanding so much is said about wo-
men gossiping.
The attempt upon the part Of the men
and women to initiate the Salvation army
seems to possess zeal without discretion.
The holding OF street meetings belong 20
the Salvation Army with their flag, drum
and horns. tamborines, with the words
OF their songs set to the popular songs Of
the day. Attempts upon the part Of 9th
ers with their whsns doodle style only
excites momentary curiosity from the
passing crowd. bringing ridicuie on rell-
gion. II their chief desire is the better
ment of humanity and not a collection.
then let them 90 TO the resident part Of
the city among the mothers and children
who have no opportunity Of attending

and give them an earnest and respectful
hearing which viii result in good. instead
OF jest. idle curiosity and ridicule Tor
the Christian religion from the moving
crowd on the main thoroushfsre.
I understand that the Kings Daught-
ers are taking steps 70 locate Davis. the
paralvzed man who was so unceremon-
iously bounced from the maia street
