necessary to build a new bridge. Why,
a Pennsylvania bridge company built a
vastly greater one than this little affair
for the British government, in compe-
tition with the world, carried it across
the ocean and put it over the Atbara
river in Africa in less time than is
asked to put in this one. Specifica lions
and materials for all kinds and sizes OF
bridges are already abundant, and no
great railway company in the country
would need or ask more than six
months time to build a larger bridge
than this.
The milk in the cocoanut, probably.
is the fact that delay is advantageous
because of present condition of North
Topeka. Time will give it a chance
to recuperate, when railway service
will be more profitable. Besides this,
the company has much other work to
do in the way of repairs and extern
sions. so that time with temporary half
service is worth considering.
Another thing: there is strong opposi-
ton to granting the use of the bridge
at ALL The passage of this ordinance
without the most careful restrictions
will almost surely defeat the whole
scheme and there are those who claim
this to be the real purpose. since 1t Is
made to appear to favor the railway
company and so keeps its promoters
in harmony with them, while at the
same time it makes injunctions and
legal complications more certain;
thereby forcing the company to hasten
the building of its own bridge.
Tet some kind of reliable service
across be demanded in the meantime
and the Garfield park line be oullt
track or no track, over the bridge.

TIE "NEWSPAPER FEVER. -
Once a Man Acquires It, It Never
Quite Leaves Him.

do you know there is such a thing
as newspaper fever and that it just
worms and burns its way into a fell
lows system, and remains there as long
as life lasts?" said an old-time news
paper man to a group of younger work
ers. 1T is a fact. Men who work
around newspaper offices know it to be
true Thew know it is true not only OF
the men who work in the business. but
of many others who never happen to
get into the business at all. You Will
find a great many men who have the
news instinct so strongly developed In
their makeup that they cannot resist
the tendency to drift to the centers of
interest, though they have other things
to 90. and are in no way interested IN
the event or happening which attracts
them Accidents. murders, suicides,
catastrophes, anything of a violent
kind will attract these fellows always.
They have what may be properly
called the newspaper fever 1t keeps
them UP to a high tension, too, for they
are always on the lookout for some
thing With the fellows who have been
in the harness newspaper fever or
course is common enough. Once a

The country is practically certain of
a large volume of business this season,
SAYS the Wall Street Financial Review.
Our farmers are likely to be prosperous
for another year; because, while crops
are not particularly heavy, prices are
high and afford good profits. Labor is
also well employed at good wages
Manufacturers are feeling the high
cost Of production somewhat, and there
is likely to be less expenditure for ex-
travagances than when the boom
was at it's height, yet the country, as
whole, is in satisfactory condition. Our
basic industry, the iron trade, is in bet
ter shape than supposed. 1t is true
abnormal profits are disappearing, but
there is a big demand for all sorts OF
iron and steel products at the more
reasonable prices and no signs OF
cessation are vet in sight.
