City Regulator
Makes suggestions as to
How to Build a Wichita.

| To the Editor of the Eagle:
1 would have the wives and girls be-
lieve that their husbands and sweet
| hearts are good and true men, and not
to believe for one minute the fairy tales
| of an overworked and distorted brain
| Our community is not made up of g
| foreign element that infest the slums OF
| the large cities.
One of the greatest needs of the town
is clothes cleaning establishment, a
regular securing concern, where ones
garments can be cleaned thoroughly with
ference in the methods of cleaning clothes
and washing them and running them
through the wringer and hanging them
out on a hickory limb to dry.
1 would save yourself additional trouble
by not telling your troubles to some one
else.
To avoid accidents on street cars. in the
absence of regular conductor, l would
forbid passengers from ringing the bell to
start the car. The motorman should take
the time and know for himself that the
passengers are off the car before start
ing.
AS the auction stand has been estab-
lished at the hay-market / would also
confine that foghorn to the same limits.
It is time to commence operations get
ting ready for flowers. What are prettier
than single and double hollyhocks? Sow
the seed in box next month. get them
sprouted nicely and transplant them and
in July you will have them in all colors
and tints. You can sprout sweet peas the
same way but if you prefer to plant them.
dig a ditch five or six inches deep, cover
them with about half an inch of earth,
and as they grow, keep covering them
until the ditch is filled. Then water them
well.
I would reuire every person building
in the city to obtain a permit from the
city clerk and in this manner derive a
revenue and make a record of the build
ing that is being done.
/ see the legislature Is attempting TO
take our personal liberties from us by
attempting to pass law prohibiting us
from eating snakes, taurantulas and SIGH.
Now, Mr. Big Taxpayer and busy busi-
ness man. if that high school bill that
has passed the lower house OF the Kansas
legislature becomes law. giving Wichita
authority to build a one hundred and
fifty thousand dollar high school building.
that amount of money and more will be
spent for that purpose The erection Of
this building. the expenditure OF the
money, is done through the school board.
Ii Is for you TO determine who the mem
bers of this board shah be-whether they
shall be men who pay no taxes. coming
below the exemption clause. and who are
chasing the Office. or men OF successful
business careers. One hundred and fifty
thousand dollars rightly expended will
pay for the erection of an exceedingly
beautiful and comnodioCs structure
There will be an unusual number Of can
didates for the Office Of school board.
What are you going to do about it-take
no hand in the selection Of men. refuse to
accept OF the nomination IL your varI
