Makes Suggestions as to
How 20 Build a Wichita.


To the Editor of the Eagle:
II I was going to raise sugar beets I
would raise corn to feed TO the hogs to
sell to raise more corn 10 feed 10 the hogs
to buy mere land. and let the man in
+ Colorado and western Kansas, where
they can't raise anything else raise the
/ beets.
What a lovely place the consistory
+ is for receptions and other like social
events I am very glad the barrier has
been taken down. At least the parlors
may be open TO the ladies for their club
meets II is an ideal place. The Ma
sonic brethren could not do more
graceful thing than 20 grant their wives
this privilege.
When I stroll along the avenue enjoy
ing myself looking at the beautifully
kept lawns and see block after block
with beautiful grass and flowers and wo-
men and children out working ard beau
tifying the homes and now and then
come 10 place on prominent corner
o in the middle OF block with q. shack
i
I wonder that the people IN the block
don't turn out and tear the old fence
away. Why don't such people move over
to Stringtown to what would seem a
more congeniaI atmosphere.
IF were a girl and intended to get
married, and I certainly would, 1 would
have the very best there is in the mar
ket. This town has scores Of nice, clean,
temperate refined young men engaged in
honorable pursuits that don't make
smokestacks of their heads nor beer bar
rels out of their stomachs, that have no
use for cigarettes, would scorn to smoke
one. These young men are the coming
business men of the community. Twenty
five years hence the men who will be
doing the business of the country, and
the smokestacks viii have long since
died and shriveled up and been forgotten.
Girls. take the best; you deserve 1t.
I would pass an ordinance against
smokers striking matches on the fronts
oe buildings. Owners of property will
paint and varnish UP the fronts of their
buildings at a big expense. and in a very
short time they are all marked up by the
Ioafers striking matches on them.
see the Unitarians are building one
Of the walls of their church on the side
walk. The attempt Of the surveyor to
straighten the avenues where they meet
on Central avenue will fail. The next
surveyor viii come along and report the
building in the street, which it IS, and
viii make some one. some day, trouble.
I see no reason why the gentlemen re-
ferred to should not change their suits
once a day. They must have something
tc give them a standing in the commu-
nifty.
I would appoint a smashing committee
in each one of the city's business clubs. |
and so after the men who are appointed
on committees and members who begin to
clog the wheels and oppose anything in
the way of securing new additions to the
interests of the city. if it
looks in the least way that it might in
terfere with their graft. or that they |
might not get a benefit for themselves |
personally. or for their corporation. Such |
men ought TO be furnished a seat so far 1
back that they could not hear the pro-
For SaIe-A fine crop of dandelions; |
good for brain food. Inquire of the por-
ter of the Commercial club.
1t will be a mistake not to have a fail |
festival Of some kind this year There I
arc q dozen men in the city who, If /
given the hearty cooperation of the bust
ness men of the community, that can |
plan and carry out to successful termina-
ton a two or three days program.
