GAR TRAoKs ON BRIDGE.

The statement of the attorney for the
Topeka City railway concerning the use
of the Melan arch bridge was a scholar
ly as well as a unique document. To the
uninitiated it would appear that the city
railway is anxious to give the people of
North Topeka street railway service but
is prevented only by the people who in
sist that there shall be no trolley tracks
on the bridge.
There is one phase of this question
that is entirely overlooked by the at
torney for the company. That is the
fact that the city railway has done alb
solutely nothing to give the people Of
North Topeka street railway service
since the disastrous flood. Not only was
nothing done to put the line in operation
but nearly all the tracks were taken up
and at this late day-nearly three
months after the flood only one car is
running in North Topeka and that from
the Kansas river to Gordon street, a
distance of about four blocks. If the city
railway was anxious to accommodate
the people of North Topeka why did not
the company inaugurate a system of
transfers as was done when the street
car bridge was weakened by the flood q
year ago. Then passengers were taken
across the bridge in express wagons and
the cars were run so that there was no
trouble about connections. If the COM
pany would have inaugurated such a
system of transfers this year there
would have been no complaint.
Although it is three months since the
food. little If anything has been done
toward the construction of a bridge to
take the place of the one destroyed.
Since bridge is to be built why could
not the company have devoted a part
of the large force 1t employs to its con-
struction and allowed the Kansas ave-
nue. tracks to wait a short time If the
bridge is really to be built 1t would
take no longer to construct it now than
in one or two years from now, and it
would give the people of North Topeka
confidence in the protestation of friend
ship on the part of the city railway
The city railway is greatly Handicapped
in its service and appears to be doing
all in its power to give the city first
class street railway system. The owners
who are energetic and enterprising men
should be encouraged In their gigantic
undertaking. But they should not at
tempt to shift the responsibility for the
poor street car service onto the people
of the city.
The people of North Topeka are enti-
tied to street car service and they ought
! to have it. The City Railway company
can give it to them without jeopardiz-
ing the lives of the people and perhaps
the safety of the beautiful Melan bridge
by running cars across 1t.

MR.. A1BAUaH's CHARGE.

The prepared statement issued by
State Chairman Albaugh of the Repub-
lican state central committee, published
in the State Journal today, in which he
shows by incontrovertible figures that
State Treasurer Kelly has deliberately
planned to make the people of Kansas
pay taxes aggregating a half million
dollars at least more than is necessary
to run the state government, may be
something of a revelation to the people
of this state. Mr.. Kelly has laid the
blame for the increase in taxes at the
door of the legislature, but Mr.. AL
baugh shows that the state taxes levied
by Mr.. Kelly and his associates on the
state board of equalization. in addition
to the fees turned into the state treas
ury, and other sources of revenue, will
raise a half million dollars more than
the appropriations of the legislature
for 1904 call for, even If they should all
be expended.
AS a matter of fact, the appropria-
tons are never all expended. Several
hundred thousand dollars are always
turned back into the general revenue
fund in the state treasury. Mr.. AL
baugh's figures are too conservative. It
will eventually be found that Mr.. Kelly
has planned to raise about $4,000 more
than the legislative appropriations call
for.
There can be little question why it is
desired to collect this great sum of
money from the people and leave it I'M
expended in the state treasury. 1t is
well known that there is ON an average
a half million dollars in the various
funds in the state treasury, which the
treasurer keeps on deposit in banks
contrary to law, and on which it has
been asserted for years the banks pay
interest to some one on daily balances.
$40 900 a year. If another half million
dollars is added to it the interest will
amount to double that sum. In other
words, if 100000 in state taxes more
than is needed can be collected from
the people of Kansas, it will be deposit
ed in the banks and the interest on it at
two per cent on daily balances will
amount to $4,000 a year more than
what the daily balances of the state
treasury would now bring.
Two ways have been devised to raise
this half million dollars: The state tax
levy has been increased. and the asses
sed valuation as made by the local as
SCISSORS has been raised more than "a
million dollars. The railroads, too, have
not been compelled to pay a bit of this
extra assessment except what falls on
them through the increased levy. The
burden is placed on the farms and per-
sonaI property of the state.

why Polar Expeditions Fail.

New York American:
There is evidently pressing need for
a good level-headed business manager
to take general charge of polar expedi-
tons, if that kind of enterprise is to be
continued with any prospect or success.
At present these explorations are too
often conducted in Il haphazard man
ner, which can only lead to failure, if
not to disaster. A striking example of
the unbusinesslike proceedings charac-
terizing such adventures is furnished
just now by the setting out of a search
ing party from Russia on the track OF
Baron Toll, who sailed for the Arctic
from st. Petersburg three years ago and
who, if not actually lost, has long been
unheard from. A year ago last May
the baron, with an astronomer and two
Yakuts, for companions, left his ship,
the Zaria at the New Siberian Islands,
intending to make his way across the
ice roofing to seat to Bennett Island, so
miles away. Nobody knows whether he
reached his destination or not, for his
ship, which was to have followed him,
has been penned in by the ice, and so
the only thing left to do is to send an
other expedition to hunt him up. This
sort of thing is repeated over and over
again in Polar explora ton, and it only
results in the loss of time, money and
sometimes life.

to need city legislation to enable her

good reason why, in dairy country

small towns should be compelled to
consume milk that has been tempered
with either to make it go farther or to
last longer.
In great cities it may, perhaps, be
natural to look for milk adulteration,
but is never excusable. Topeka has
had convincing evidence that her milk

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Charles E. Norton Against the World.


New York Sun:
Rather late in life it occurred to Prof.
Charles Eliot Norton to turn away from
Dante and Dante Rossetis drawings
and Italian cathedrals and become the
censor of the American people He had
learned from his friends, Carlyle and
Ruskin. the art of bilious speech and
the habit of spanking the world. The
annual dinners of the Sanderson Acad-
envy at Ashfield, Mass, have been for
some 25 years the scene of Prof. Nor
tons public admonitions of his country
men. These admonitions must have re-
lieyed him of much bile; so they have
been good for his health; and they have
amused students of the professional
manner. We are sorry to hear that
Prof. Norton has given up his Ashfield
chair. He will preside no more at those
dinners of the gods. 1t is some conso-
lation to find that in his farewell address
he surpassed himself. as this delightful
dictum shows: 1T is we of the white
race who are barbarians and the infer
ior." If we remember right Prof Nor
ton sat apart from the anti-slavery agi-
tation. Prof Norton's present view of
the colored race merely reflects his de-
termination to find the most unpopular
and impossible opinions and hurl them
at world gone wrong. We shall miss
his yearly bowls.

Should Janitors Be Licensed P

New York Times:
A correspondent calls attention to
the fact that the janitors' society of
New York will make application at the
next session of the legislature for the
enactment of a law requiring that per-
sons serving as janitors of tenements
shall be licensed. The tenement means
in law every house, building or por-
ton thereof which is rented, leased. let
or hired out to be occupied IS the
home or residence of three families or
more living independently of each other
and doing their cooking upon the prem
ises, or by more than two families upon
any floor, so living and cooking, but
having common right in the halls,
stairways, yards, etc, or some of
them" Evidently the Janitors to be
licensed are not alone the custodians of
the typical tenement houses under
the immediate care of Commissioner
DeForest, but as we'll of the middle and
high class apartment houses where the
conditions are very different Indeed,
we suspect that the tenement house
janitors are not to any extent repre-
scented in the membership of the JAM
ftor's society, and that those who are
members are willing to confess them
selves tenement house janitors only be-
cause it suits their present purposes.
