Should Keep Up Boxes.

1t is very probable that shortly
after the first OF January notice will
be given to the patrons Of the rural
delivery service on the five routes out
OF Abilene, that all persons receiving
their mail on these routes who do not
have suitable boxes or who do not
have their boxes put up in such q
manner that the carrier can, without
inconvenience put in or take out the
mail will after o certain time be re-
ouired to call for their mail at the
post office. Excuses are made time
and time again for delay in getting
the proper box or for not placing the
box convenient for the carrier that
the patron does not have the time.
He should bear in mind that 1t will
take great deal more Of his time to
20 to the post office to get his mall
than it will to spend a few moments
or few hours even in fixing up q
good box and making 1t convenient
for the carrier. Each carrier has to
make from twenty-six to thirty miles
per day. BE is required to make this
in q given time. This time is fixed
on the superstition that the proper
box has been obtained and convent
entity located II the carrier is COM
PEELED to get out Of his conveyance or
90 out Of his way or drive through q
mud hole to deliver the mail OF two
or three or more Of the patrons, this
increases the time necessary to cover
his route and is an injustice to the
large number who have the proper
boxes and have them conveniently
located. An important letter from
one of these patrons may be delayed
twelve hours in reaching Its place OF
destination because Of the careless
ness and negligence Of a few patrons
on the route. This the government
will not submit to and the patrons
Who do not show an interest in the
general good Of the rural delivery SER
vice, will be deprived Of IT, The only
safe and sure way to retain the ser
vios is to see that your boxes Is well
a. the location Of them, assist instead
Of rs.srd the discharge Of the carriers

About City Sidewalks.

A correspondent flom Minneapolis
asked the legal department OF the
Mail and Breeze this question:
Can a person be forced to build
sidewalk In a city Of the second class
by resolution Of the city authorities
and have the cost charged up to the
owner Of the property aud collected
as taxes on the sameP Does that
clause in the constitution where 1t
says, "that private property shall not
be taken for public use without just
compensation" have any bearing on
the question:
The reply is: 1t appears that the
old law Of Kansas authorizing cities
to construct sidewalks when provided
for by ordinance has been so amended
that city council now has authority
to compel the erection and construc'
ton Of sidewalks by resolution, pub.
lished for four consecutive weeks,
when the council shall, deem such
construction necessary. The words
In the constitution referred to have
nothing to do with the matter. The
building Of q sidewalk in front Of q
mans property and the lsvying Of
taxes on the property to pay for the
same Is not taking Of private prop
erty for public use without just COM
pensation. The sidewalk Is Of more
use to the owner than anyone else and
the right to require him to build or
pay for the same is construed BY the
court as a duty, enioined upon the
owner as a police regulation.

rho ai..Oreemeut between Abilene

The disagreement between Abilene
and the iarmers'mutual telephone COM
panies ought to be settled. 1t Is not
only somewhat undignifed but 1t can
result only in detriment to the city
The 800 farmers who have farm tele-
phones are sll within Abilene's trade
limit and they are among the most
prosperous citizens OF Dickinson
county. Their friendship and their
trade are worth having and Abilene
cannot afford to lose either. Inc
way to build up town is to win 40.
ditional business, net to lose any Oh
that already possessed. 1t 10 easy to
let little differences cause large losses
and Abilene should be careful that no
such event occurs in this instance.
A fair and generous settlement snoulo
be made speedily. one that Will DC
satisfactory to all-and 1T should DC
