BRIDGE PROPOSITIONS.
What the People Will Vote on at the
Election Tomorrow.

Two propositions involving the con-
struction of new bridges will be pre-
scented to the people of Topeka at the
election Tuesday. On both of these
propositions, women, as well as men,
are eligible to vote. The questions as
they will appear on the ballot are as
follows:
Question No. shall the following
be adopted: shall the mayor and
council of the city of Topeka be au-
thorized to construct a steel concrete
patiently about 200 feet in length,
across the Kansas river on Kansas
avenue, in the city of Topeka, at the
north end of the Melan arch bridge,
so as to connect said Melan arch
bridge with the north bank of the
Kansas river and borrow the sum of
$24, or so much thereof as may
be necessary, and issue the bonds of
for?"
Question No. 2.-Shan the following
be adopted: Shall the mayor and
council of the city of Topeka be au-
thorized to construct five new bridges
in the city of Topeka, the description,
location and cost of each of which are
set forth in ordinance No. 2535. ap-
proved October 26, 1904, and borrow
dollars ($1O. 100000, or so much there
of as may be necessary, and issue the
bonds of said city in that amount to
pay therefore,
It is practically certain that the
bonds for the much needed extension
of the Melan arch bridge will carry
In this proposition, not only all the
people of North Topeka are interested,
who have a desire to see the magnifi-
cent Kansas avenue brigde put into
proper shape.
The plan is to build two new arches
at the north end of the bridge, to take
the place of the present temporary pile
structure. The spans will be built in
exact conformity with the present
bridge. Another thing of importance
should be remembered; the estimate
of $24,295.S5 includes the cost of re-
pairing the sidewalks, ornamental
work and other places on the present
bridge which are in any way damaged.
1t is also probable that when bids are
called for on the construction of the
bridge, the city will not have to pay
the full amount of the bonds author
lied The sum of $24.295.85 is the
maximum limit, and City Engineer
McCabe thinks that the bids on the
hundred dollars.
The proposition to build small
bridges in the Fifth, Second and Sixth
wards will, if carried, clean up a lot
of bridge work which the city has long
been delaying because of lack of
funds. Some people have been heard
to make the statement that the city
should pay for the construction of
these bridges out of its general funds;
that it was an evidence of bad finan-
cial management that the city should
be called upon to vote bonds for this
purpose. While the city may be
rightfully accused of bad financial
systems, the voting of bonds to build
bridges is not an evidence of it. for
the law does not allow the city to
spend more than $4,000 to build a
bridge. The cost of the bridges which
it is proposed to build is as follows:
Across Shunganunga at Kan
sas avenue ..............$ 3,400
Across Shunganunga at Twen-
tieth and Van Ruren z 600

Total amount of bonds. 5000

Total amount OF bonds. $1O, 4OU
The bridges which the proposed new
structures will replace are all very old,
and are in the last stages of repair.
The city would have to spend several
thousand dollars in fixing up the old
bridges to last a few years longer I'M
less the bonds are voted for the new
structures.

Tools Tell Their Nations.

."Show me a piece of machinery or tool and I'll tell you what nation made it." said member of the steel trust to a Philadelphia Record man. Every nations character is very strongly marked upon the tools that it turns out.
 "The English and the Scots are con- servatve. They cling, in their ma chimes, to rigidity. Hence their out put has for its earmark heaviness that might be called cumbersome. These machines are reliable and strong and massive, like dray horse. They have no finish, no style, no elegance. The English and the Scots leave such considerations out of their minds alto gether.
 "The French are q nervous, delicate, sensitive people, with highly devel- oped sense of the beautiful. Hence their mach mes and their humblest tools have style, an air of elegance. The finish of the cheapest French tool is' good For elegance and good taste the machinery Of France is unsurpassed. This trait the French automobile shows.
 German tools are good, but not ele- gant and not light. They incline to- curved surfaces. This trait is well, shown in them by contrast with the angular, racehorse-lke contours of the American tool.
 American tools and machinery are characterized by their direct plain,. simple design; by the use in them off the lightest, best alloys and the new- est steels; by saving of weight that results in hollow structure wherever possible; by racehorse leanness of ap- pearance. In simplicity the American tools are by far the best. In elegance and finish they excel the tools of all other nations but the French"

Pie at Any Cost

Most people like pie, apple pie, pumpkin pie, mince pie, especially about Thanksgiving and Christmas. During these seasons boys have an eye to the cupboard, and resort to all sorts of devices and stratagems to get at its guarded treasures of toothsoms pastry.
 But 1t is doubted if any boy or girl ever devised anything more ingenious to get piece of pie than what well-known naturalist tells of some ants that he had been observing. A pie had been placed on shelf in cupboard, with wide ring of nolss' ses encircling the plate.
 The ants discovered it. and want ing pie for dinner, set out to get it. They first marched carefully about the ring, leaving an ant here and there at places which were seen to be less wide than the rest of the ring. Then selecting the narrowest place, and go- ing to an old nail hole in the wall, they formed an endless stream of porters, each bringing grain of plaster.
 Thus they built causeway of these bits of lime over the molasses, and in three or four hours from the time of discovery were eating pie.

PARENT AND SON.

THE old theory of parental authority
u has been relegated to the scrap
heap whero lie many customs and SUI
perstitions that may have served USE
ful purpose. but which this generation
has no further use for.
A writer in one Of the magazines re-
Gently devoted considerable space to
proving that fathers in these days re-
gard their sons more in the light Of
companions and conhdents than as In
feriors. and that the old spare the rod,
spoil the child" theory has been almost
displaced.
The trouble with the old theory was
that fathers never seemed to realize
that the days of childhood ever passed.
and when boys were approaching man
hood and needed to develop self-respect
and self-reliance, they were stnl re-
garded as infants to be corrected and
reproved. and taught that fear and
awe in the presence OF parents and eld-
crs were the signs of regard.
We complain these days Of a lack of
reverence on the part OF the American
youth. but we doubt seriously whether
It is half as real as it appears. For a
child to occasionally treat his parents
with undue familiarity Is not crime,
and is not TO be regretted half as much
AS open respect. but secret dread which
prevents an manifestation OF trust and
affection. To seee mother and daugh-
ter or mother and son manifestlng mu-
tual trust and confidence IS a beautiful
thing, but there is no reason why such
bonds should not exist between fathers
and their sons.
Two stories in a daily paper furnish
/ lessons for all parents one tells Of a
boy of ten who had received an Injury
which made the amputatlon Of his leg
necessary. He fought the physicians
who wanted to remove IT, Then one
told him that his father wished it, "All
right said the boy III my father
wishes it, it ought to be done. Go
ahead" one can guess the relations
that existed between that father and
son.
Another story tells OF a Philadelphia
mother who urged a judge TO send her
youn g son to Jail because he had taken
IS from her bureau. The boys father
seems to have been favorable to that
solution, but the judge read the mother
a lecture and discharged the boy. I'm
der such training It is next to impossi-
BILE for that boy to keep from stealing
and from forming mental habit of
looking at the world through colored
glasses. lie will learn to despise and
distrust his parents. and Il viii become
a part OF his purpose in life to DECEIVE
and thwart them. Truly if there could
be one generation OF good. sensible par
ents the old world would undergo a
revolution.
