The resolution adopted by the council
to replace the decayed cedar block pave
ments with a layer of macadam is a
questionable expedient. There is mac
adam and macadam. Limestone mac
adam has not proved a blooming sue
cess in any city east or west, and granite
macadam is if anything more expensive
than brick or sandstone paving blocks.
The experience of St Louis, where lime
stone is abundant and cheap, has not
justified the investment. The limestone
macadam disintegrates very easily and
in dry seasons is blown away by the
wind, and the lime dust is not conducive
either to health, cleanliness or broad
cloth suits. ..a.

other man who occupied a similar position,
has prepared for a correspondent a state
ment Of the number OF accounts and
amounts involved in the settlements made
by the various divisions Of the auditors

very materially when the auditor comes

Kansas CitS Journal.


Governor Bailey has issued another ap-
peal for outside aid with which to relieve
the distresses of the flood sufferers of Kan
sas City "It is true" he says. that Kan
sas is prosperous and her people generous
and charitable and will meet to the limit Of
their ability the demand upon their charity,
but when the limit OF Kansas generosity is
exhausted the fact will still remain that we
WIFI be hundreds of thousands short of
having the means to meet the demands of
those who have a claim upon our charity"
When Governor Bailey penned the lines
which we have Just quoted, the total Of
Kansas contributions to the Kansas relief
fund was less than $4,000. Up to this date
the people of Kansas have not contributed
to this fund as much as the generous peo-
pie of other states. The statement of the
newspapers at Topeka is that contributions
are coming in slowly. The appearances are
for an even slower rate OF contribution.
And the verdict of disinterested observer
must be that Governor Bailey is gravely in
error when he states that the people Of
Kansas will meet to the limit of their
ability the demand made upon their char
ity"
The news sent out OF Topeka Sunday was
to the effect that Governor Bailey was ex-
acting from the members OF the legislature
a pledge that they will not appropriate pub
lie funds to the aid of the flood sufferers

A crazy man from Chicago appeared at
the White Hosse one morning last week
to urge the president to cause tradesmen,
mechanics, merchants and others to adopt
a system of naming themselves according
to their business. The doorkeepers quickly
passed him over TO the secret service men,
who had him explain in detail his mis-
sion. This he did with interest being
completely wrapped up in his scheme.
Much confusion could be avoided If pro-
prietors of dry goods stores were known
as Mr.. Linen or Mr.. Calico or Mr.. Silk;
every undertaken should be named Coffin

with the recommendation that he go home

Mr.. McDermott Freely De-
clares It Was and Offers !.

Libel Suit With
CIergymen for
Jurors.
WAS THE VETO IRsTIGATEDP

Congressman Allan L. McDermott
hurled challenge at Mayor Pagan to-
day in a communication to the Street
and Water Board, relative to the alleged
mismanagement of the city's appeal
from the decision of yice-Chaneellor Pit
aey il the fight with the Laekawanna
Railroad for the possession of Thirteenth
street, now pending before the Court of
Errors and Appeals. Congressman Nc
Dermott has charged the law department
of Mayor Fagan with improperly present
ing the appeal te the higher court. The
Congressman Instituted the proceedings
against the railroad company when he
was Corporation Counsel.
In today's communication he charges
Corporation Counsel Record with evasion
of the questions of the street and Water
Board relative to the misconduct of the
case that had been in court for several
to pay the Congressman to argue the
case in the Court of Errors and Appeals
Congressman McDermott says:
When resigning the Office of Corpora
ton Counsel l recognized that q would
be difficult for my successor to take UP a
case that had been in court for sevarl
years, and | volunteered to argue the
case in the Court of Appeals. 1 wrote
Mr. Record a letter in which it was
distinctly stated that | was not to receive
any compensation from the City.
Mayor Pagan advised the Board of
Finance to accept my services. The
Board passed a resolution to do so, and
he vetoed it, without giving any reason
for his veto. He did not, and will not
give his reason because ne was and is
both afraid and ashamed to do so. He
did not give it in his veto, and he will
not give it now, because its very state
ment win show that he is unfit to hold
the high Office of Mayor.
Il have heretofore stated to your board
that I am not at liberty to make public
my knowledge of his reasons, but as
his advocates have, knowing that could
not doNso, frequently challenged me to
state the reasons he refuses to disclose,
the following offer is submitted:
81 waive all right to consider this
communication as privileged, and sug-
gest that, if the Mayors reasons were
not SUCH as an upright official should be
ashamed of, / am most certainly guilty
Of libel. If the Mayor will institute a
suit on that ground, / will agree to a
trial two days after the summons is
served.

WHY MURPHY
Will WIN
Close Observer Contrasts the
Condition Of This and
the Last Mayoralty
Campaign.
EVERYTHING FAyoRs MURPHY
He is More popular Than
Pagan With Their Own
Element and Hoos
Controls the Ger
mans. {,
EVERYTHING FAyoRs MURPHY


The campaign is becoming lively. Mr..
Pagan and many of his devoted followers
imagine he will be reelected. Shrewd
old observers are looking the other way
even men who put up their money on
Fagan's election in the last Mayoralty
campaign.
One of these old observers who put up
money on Fagan's election last night,
said:
THE conditions now are not the same
as they were in the Smith-Fagan cam
paign. / have wateheds closely and am
ready to put up money on Murphy's elec-
tion over Pagan. The Democratic or
,ganization did good thing when it put
up Murphy against Pagan. In the very
element that did most to elect Pagan
over George Il. Smith Mr.. Murphy is
even more popular than Mr.. Pagan. 1t
Mr.. Pagan. Many of them, as consci-
entious young Democrats now realize their
mistake, seeing that Mr.. Pagan, al
though he promised non-partisan ad-
ministration, has been led solely by the
managers of the Republican machine
''Then We take peep at the National
ity aspect The Evening Journal
when it saw that Murphy was to be the
man, and that Street and Water Com
missioner Hauck would, like a good or
ganization Democrat, withdraw from the
Mayoralty race, tried beforehand to Gre
ate a sentiment among the German
American element antagonistic to the
Democratic party's welfare. Luckily this
was headed off by Former Mayor Hoos,
by whom the Americans, ire
spective of party, swear, who, though
he did not take very active part in
the last Mayoralty campaign, isl now
out stamping for the election of Mr..
Murphy.
the greatest majority any Mayoralty can
didate in this city ever received. Up
there in the Eleventh and Twelfth
Wards-the Hudson City sections Dem
ocrats and Republicans swear by him.
As he goes, so go those two wards,
Those two wards figure largely in bal
loting results. It's only safe to presume
that the German American element in
all other sections of the city, especially
in Greenville will follow his advice. One
thing that I am figuring upon in offering
to wager money on Murphy's election is
that the snub that Mayor Pagan gave to
Prince Henry of Prussia while passing
on several occasions through this city,
will cost him many votes.
AS I said before, Mr. Murphy is more
popular among the same element that
elected Mr.. Pagan than Mr.. Pagan is
himself. Conditions have changed The
city has a normal Democratic majority
of nearly 5000. So how can you figure
it out that Mayor Pagan can possibly
win out under such conditions, especial
" when the Democratic party is united?
Right on top of Mayor Fagan's election
as Mayor it carried the city by over
5000 majority. My money goes on Muir
