BONDING COMPANIES
EXPECT BIG BUSINESS
If Sign License Law Becomes Effective
They Will Be Happy.

Local bonding companies see in the
proposed sign license law a profitable
field, and are now busy inducing own
ers Of signs to patronize their particu-
lar company.
The new law, if indorsed by the
board Of aldermen, viii call for bond
from each sign owner and one from
the firms engaged in erecting signs.
There are at present about 1900 hang
ing signs in the city, so it can be seen
the new law will be a profitable one for
the bonding companies.
The bonds must be in the sum of
$4,000 each.

ANOTHER STEAL FOUND
Plumbers Ordinance Has an
Expensive Clause.

BY the provisions of an innocent
looking clause in the plumbing ordi-
nance passed by the city council in
August the board of education is pro-
indoor closets and plumbing now in
use In all the city schools where the
closets are located in the building.
The clause was evidently inserted in
firms that put in the style of closets
now in use from bidding and to make
the expense to the board. and conse-
quently the plumbers bills, larger than
heretofore.
The part of the ordinance affecting
the school buildings is as follows:
Every water closet, or each one of
group of water closets, within a
building, shall be furnished from a
separate tank or cistern for each stool;
the flush pipe to be not less than IA
inch
'All public urinals to be supplied
with flush tank, flush to be connect
ed to urinal and heel Of trap
The board of education has found
that the style of closets suitable for
the city school buildings is what is
known as the American Latrine system,
styles of which are manufactured by
various concerns. This is the system
the board has found to be the most
economical and sanitary of any system
and the Polk, Garfield. Clay, Lincoln,
Summer, Potwin and High schools have
all Deen equipped with this system.
In installing the American system
but one large flushing tank is used.
This does away with the large amount
of plumbing and appliances necessary
for each separate closet when the sys-
tenn of a flushing tank for each closet
is used. There is minimum amount
of plumbing under the American sys-
tenn and there is not a large amount of
piping and plumbing and joints to be
wiped for each closet. In putting in
the American system the plumbers can
not pile up a large bill for labor. For
that reason the local plumbers have
been opposed to the American system.
With the American system the board
has found that the closets are perfectly
ventilated and are sanitary in every
way. Local plumbers can bid on the
American system but the profit on lead
pipe and wiped joints is almost elm
mated. The cost of installing an
American system of closets in an eight
to IL room school house is from $3.50 to
81, 900 less than the cost for individual
closets.
The board wishes to equip the new
high school, the North Topeka and the
Lafayette buildings with the American
system of closets and to do so the
board will have to ask the city council
to revoke that part of the ordinance
prohibiting any system but that of
single closets.

BASIS OF COMPROMISE
Seems Likely to Be Reached in
Wood Promotion.

Washington, Dec. 22-To some of the
senators who have particularly inter-
ested themselves in the pending Wood
nomination with an eye especially to
the protection of some of the veteran
army officers, the president has ex-
pressed himself very plainly to the
effect that these officers have nothing
to fear in the immediate future. 1t
was pointed out to him that there was
considerable apprehension among the
friends of these army officers lest upon
the retirement of General Chaffee with
the rank of lieutenant general the
president might appoint Major General
Leonard Wood to be lieutenant general
involving the jumping of a number of
distinguished general officers who never
would have a chance to attain the
highest rank by reason of General
Woods incumbency in the place for Is
years.
The president has explicitly declared
that he has no such intention. Inciden-
tally that involved an undertaking on his
part to promote some of these general Of
GERS referred to after General Chaffee's
retirement. But he did not state that
when he made such promotions as he saw
fit he would not close the list by APP
pointing General Leonard Wood to be
lieutenant general The understanding
thus reached with the committee is ex-
pected to have an important influence up
on the action that will be had upon the
Wood nomination.

ROOSEVELT AND PRRcEDENrs

A Reader" of the State Journal
writes US a letter in which he quotes
from this paper as follows:
Those who believe history repeats it.
self are citing the fact that no vice
president ever yet was elected to the
presidency"
The writer continues:
ALLOW me to correct this oft repeated
error. John Adams was elected to the
vice presidency in 1889, reelected in
1892 and elected president of the United
States in 1885,
He might properly have added the
name of Thomas Jefferson to that of
Mr.. Adams.
The State Journal of course referred
to the vice presidents elected since 1904.
when the change in the manner of cleo
ton took place. Previous to that period
vice presidents were not voted for. The
person receiving the highest number OF
votes was declared elected to the presi-
dency while the one receiving the next
highest number became the vice presi-
dent. If that system had continued it
might have been quite the common thing
for vice presidents to succeed to the
presidency by election.
1t is noted in this connection that all
the vice presidents since 1904 have fail
ed to secure a nomination for the presi-
dency which easily accounts for the
fact that none was elected.
Another notable fact is that in every
instance but one. that of Andrew John
son, where the vice president has failed
to succeed himself, his party has lost
the election.
John Tyler, who succeeded to the
presidency on the death of President
William Henry Harrison in 1s41, was
not renominated in 1874. and Henry
Clay, who was nominated by the Whig
party, was defeated. Vice President
Willard Fillmore succeeded to the pres
idency on the death of President Taylor
in 1885, was not renominated by the
Wings in 1852, and General Scott, the
Wing nominee. was defeated. Vice
