MUNIcIPAL pRoBLEMs.

There is always one thing to do, no
matter how bad the situation may be,
| and that is to make the best of it.
Topeka has great confidence in the
ability of Albert Parker as a financier,
and it is the opinion of everyone, even
Mr.. Parker's political enemies, that he
will make the best of the bad financial
condition of the city. The people expect
Mr.. Parker to curtail expenses in every
way consistent with a careful admin
istration of the city's affairs. The pro-
posed revision of the license ordinance
should be carefully considered, and men
appointed to collect the licenses who will
give the best results in cash. The cost
of police court prosecutions should be
kept to a minimum, and there should be
no mutations of the city pay roll to pro-
vide succulent jobs for political hench-
men,
Topeka is running along on borrowed
money for about three months out of
every year. 1t takes three or four hum
bred dollars a year to pay interest on
the current expense loan The condition
has been getting worse for some time,
and has become especially serious dur
ing the Hughes administra ton.
Friends of Col. Hughes have criticised
the State Journal for printing the facts
about the city's financial condition.
Friends of the city, who are anxious
for the welfare of the community in
stead of the welfare of Col. Hughes po-
1itical future, are glad to be informed
as to the exact condition of affairs.
The people of Topeka have a right to
know the facts about the city's hnan-
cial condition, and all the efforts of Col
Hughes friends to keep this informa-
ton covered up will avail nothing.
Never has the State Journal init
mated that the financial condition of
the city is hopeless. There might have
been good ground for this charge, how
ever, had the Hughes administration
remained in power for several years.
In the eight months of its existence
it got a splendid start on the road to
financial distress. 1t was piling up ad-
ditional expense at reckless rate, and
would have raised the pay roll of the
city by thousands of dollars month
if the supreme court had not fortunate
ly interfered and chopped off its head
There could have been no other result
for the Hughes financial system than
a raise in taxes to pay current expenses.
Every city administration has its
good points, and the administration of
Mayor Hughes was no exception. But
from a financial standpoint, the eleva-
ton of Col. Hughes to the position of
mayor was disastrous. 1t was blum
der which cost the city considerable
money. Just at the present time it is a
fnancier that the city needs in the
mayors chair, and most people believe
that Mayor Parker is a man who will
not be found wanting in this crisis of
municipal affairs.

A USELESS PROJECT.

There closed recently in Basel. Swift

CARDS the ultimate attainment of it's
object, about as little practicability as
any on record. That was the Zionist
convention. intended to promote the
home-gathering of the Jewish people to
the land of their fathers, Palestine.
For the most part, it seems to have
been the object to subserve some fad
dish ends rather than otherwise that
this matter has been undertaken. Espe-
cially is this applicable to the Jewish
people of the United States. What rea-
son is there for taking them back to the
Holy Land? They never lived there and
at heart probably have no attachment
for it farther than could be satisfied by
a visit of a few weeks. 1t has been so
many centuries since the Jewish ma
tionality was dissolved, that the mem
bers of that race have become scatter

for them to turn back to land SO ex-
tremely limited in its possibilities as is
Palestine? Why have them dwell in the
shadows of the past failures and be per-

SPREAD OF BUSINESS DISTRICT

There seems to be a tendency just
now to centraliZe the business districts
of Topeka and instead of having all the
business houses on Kansas avenue
stretched along a distance of fifteen
blocks to have some on the side streets.
The particular boom for new bust
ness street seems to be Jackson and
Quincy streets from Fifth street to
Eighth avenue and Sixth avenue from
Quincy street to Van Buren,. Sixth av-
enue is established as a business thor
oughfare for certain lines of trade. The
increase in the amount of business done
on that street has been steady. Now
the attention of the pioneers in business
locations is turned toward Jackson
street especially. There are several bus
mess firms which would seriously con-
slider moving their stores to Jackson
street if there were anything like de-
cided move in that direction. No bust
ness man cares to go alone into the
scheme of building up a new business
section. A little energy in the right di-
rection would probably induce several
large business houses to seek new To-
cations on Jackson street. Kansas ave-
nue., in the principal business district,
is crowded. Many firms who wish
larger and better quarters can not Sc
cure them on Kansas avenue. They
would go to Jackson street if they had
company.
All that is necessary to the establish
ing OF a business district on Jackson
street is for some one to start the stam-
pede. There used to be one large whole
sale house on Kansas avenue near the
river. Now there are several and more
being built

Senator Hanna today received a letter

great ironmaster says that years ago he
had been induced to invest $4,000 in the
Nicaragua canal, and that he had in

could not spare it as easily as he could
now. That subscription led me to take
