To the Editor of the Eagle:
The ladies say the best window down
town TO see themselves in from head
down TO their feet are the Eagle Office
| windows when they are clean but that
is not often
Speaking of the Beloit reform school.
I. heard a person say who was on a
committee TO visit the state institutions,
that when Mr.. Stanley took his seat as
governor of this state that they would
rather send girls TO the city slums than
I 10 that institution, but that is much
better now. Heven pity the girl that
enters its portals. He who enters here
leaves hope behind.
! I would instruct the policemen 10 take
/ the names and address of all the small
/ boys that are wandering around the
| streets and alleys during school hours
who evidently do not attend school and
give their names to the clerk of the
school board to place in the hands OF
the proper person 10 visit their homes
and learn why these lads are not attend
I ing public school. Judging from the
looks of some of them they have no
clothes good enough to wear viii be the
reason in some cases and parents are too
poor liz other cases to buy them books.
IN the former instance the United Char
tiles should exert itself and furnish cloth
ing and the school board can do no bet
ter work than to furnish the books for
them. There are a number of boys and
occasionally a girl TO be seen in our alleys
down town daily scavanging. It should
not be so.
I would drain that lake at Hydraulic
avenue, south OF Chisholm creek bridge
and oil it with brick bats from the
brick kiln near by
I would grade up and fill in Maple
street at the west end of Maple street
bridge.
It always strikes me when 1 hear
married man. who has no children Of his
own and never viii have. who has no
conception Of the happiness and great
pleasure it is 10 a father to look down
into the soul of a beautiful boy through
his eyes-the counterpart of his mothers.
when he wooed her-fnding fault. criti-
cising, saying what ought 10 be done
with this boy and that lad that they
ought not to be so catuse with their
advice. for there is no one on earth less
fit TO serve advice about how to deal
with boys than the person who has no
chick bone of his bone and flesh of his
flesh.
If I was woman ] would not go along /
the street with a toothpick protruding |
from my lips. 1t gives one away.
I have been wondering what kind of /
hocus pocus an individual can take pos
session of a bank of a stream which has /
been declared by the government navi-
gable and made its banks boundary lines |
IN surveying and locating section lines.
and holding island III the stream subject
to premption-and pile up some sand
from the bed of stream and give a clear
title to it. The whole proceeding is
breeding a lawsuit.
l think anybody that viii buy a poison
and conceal it an an inviting morsel for
a dog and place it where he can get it is
a dangerous citizen. The same spirit car
lied to its ultimate conclusion will put
torch to a neighbOrs house. l am sorry
hat anyone lives in Wichita who will do
such a thing.
1 would organize a railroad company
md build a road from Wichita along the
)anks of the little river TO Mcpherson
md sell it to the Union Pacific.
I read in the Eagle the other day that ,
Wichita water is getting a national repu-
alton for purity, and l wonder if we APP s
reciate the fact of its purity and great J
bundance We let it run through fau- 7
cts unchecked and pour it on our lawns r
