TIE ArcH1soN PLAN.

The Atchison rlan of electing city Of
heers might be adopted with profit by
every city in the country including To-
peka. There the people of all political
parties met and selected safe conserva-
tive men to run the city government.
without regard to party af1liation. The
theory is that a municipality should be
conducted like a private business, for
the benefit of those who are interested
in its welfare. No city ever profits by
a bitter political contest which always
means that the administration is to be
conducted according to the ideas of
particular man or few men. The city
may suffer but a certain man must be
rewarded and that is an end of it,
Topeka is on the verge of a campaign
which may or may not be bitter one.
Staunch business men have shrunk
from it because they felt that they did
not want to be made the objects of the
wrath Of their political opponents. It
has come to such a pass that 1t IS al
most impossible to find the right kind
of a man to enter the contest for mayor
either because he knows he must with
stand all sorts of personal assaults or
because he is expected to represent one
idea He must either stand as the
whisky candidate" or as the dry can
didate" He must stand tied hand and
foot pledged to do one thing and it does
not matter whether the city goes to the
dogs while he is doing that thing.
This has made the mayor question in
Topeka very serious one. What re-
lief it would be if the people could find
the right kind Of a man for mayor and
then elect him without regard to any
consideration except the welfare of the
whole city.

About 1000 people, most Of whom are

each succeeding change has brought
new grief to the concern. No doubt the
changes have been made with the hon
est purpose of improving the strength

legal obstacles were encountered which
have of late years been rising to haunt
the officers of the company. Attorneys
have bounded the company through the

rival insurance companies. It is the
misfortune of the company that it

trustees make a searching Investigation
into the finances of the company, and
give out a public report to set at rest
the rumors which are flying around
concerning the funds of the company.

that the hearts are drawn in our hours

THE GovERNOR's sALARY.

The proposal Of the legislature to in-
crease the salary of the governor to So
600 year is a good one. Kansas Is a
great state and it certainly is no credit
to the commonwealth that the executive
officer should be paid salary entirely
inadequate to the requirements of his
position.
1t is well known fact that 1t cost
". E. Stanley at least 1000 a year in
excess of his salary to be governor of
Kansas and Mr.. Stanley was a man of
simple habits with a family which was
by no means extravagant It Is Dossi-
bic that Governor Bailey. being a bach
elor, may live within his salary but il
should be arranged so that no man IN
Kansas can say that he can not afford
to be governor. Let the executive of
Kansas be paid a salary commensurate
with his position as the chief executive
of one of the greatest states in the
Union.
