FOR THE EDISON FRANCHISE.
;. e. Armstrong Thinks That 1t
Should Be Granted.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
beg to express my views as to the
Edison Electric company of this city,
and its great Importance to the manu-
featuring and other business interests
of Topeka, from my point of view.
The power it furnishes to both large
and small manufacturers helps to hold
the manufacturing interests now To-
Gated here and attracts others.
/. The manufacturer is saved a
large expense for installment of en-
gines, boilers, repairs, ETC., and the
power is always ready; no time is lost
in trying to keep up steam. We turn
on the electrical power just when
needed and turn it off when done
2. When all things are considered
we find it cheaper and more steady
and even. 1t does away with the fire
risk connected with boilers and steam.
3. The ability of Topeka to furnish
this kind of power to not only large
but small factories puts her in a posi-
ton to secure all kinds of manufac-
tories. That is what induced US to
locate here.
A. 1t is in no sense a monopoly, as
we can at any time change over to
use of steam or gasoline if they should
be cheaper to us.
The Edison company has to compete
with every other kind of power, and
that is also so as to heat and lighting,
and whenever that company fails to
their DF1CSS anu SERVICE SuCn as
to satisfy US We can use something
else.
There does not seem to be any one
thing in Topeka, except the large rail-
way interests. quite so important to
its business interests as that of this
company, and any injustice or burden
ing of its business would be very detri-
mental to the present interests of the
city and an embargo on the increase
of manufacturing interests.
"a mr. civ
them cheaper money to enlarge and
extend their plant. They should have
it, and 1 am opposed to the city ask
ing or receiving free light or power or
heat, or anything cheaper for the
same amount used than the indi-
viduaI customers That policy would
increase the cost to the individual con-
sumerS, and any tax or toll or demand
for part of the earnings different from
what the law allows them would sim
ply tend to increase the cost to the
consumers of their product.
The city needs cheap power, and
whatever will tend to help this COM
pany to furnish it is directly in line of
the public interest, and whatever
tends to embarrass and cripple them

Will Defeat CounciImen.
1t is almost certainty that the at
titude of hostility which some of the
members of the city council have as
sumed on the waterworxs question will
result in their defeat for reelection.
1t is certain to be an issue in the cam
paign, unless the councilmen get right
in a hurry and vote to buy the plant
at once.
S. r. Kutz, of the First ward. is one
of the councilmen who might just as
well give up his hopes of reelection,
unless he can break away from the
Hughes Holiday combine. Kutz was
elected as law and order man, but
his record in the council has not been
especially brilliant, and he would stand
a very good show of defeat even If the
waterworks controversy had never
come up. But the people of the First
ward want the waterworks, and are OPP
and delay. They will turn down Mr..
Kutz at the next election unless he
does as the people instructed him to
do on the waterworks question.
Joseph Griley, down in the Second
ward, is another councilman who hopes
to be reelected, but the sentiment in
the Second ward is simply Overwhelm-
ing in favor of the purchase of the
plant. Griley will have very hard sled
ding for a third term, and it would not
be at all surprising if he should see the
handwriting on the wall and refuse 10
run.
J. c. Sinner in the Fifth and George
Neil in the Third, whose terms expire
next spring, are thought to have chang
ed their position now on the water
works question and will vote right in
opposed to the purchase of the plant,
but they have been hearing from their
constituents.
l. NJ. NeIns in the Fourth and s. A.
in iXfh hax
in favor of the purchase of the plant.
Try to Inject Politics.
1t seems to be the deliberate plan of
Hughes and Holiday to delay the pur-
chase of the plant until after the next
election, in the hope that Hughes Will
be elected and can fill up the water
works with his friends a fat salaries
Hughes fully realizes that the city
will ultimately buy the plant. He
knows that if it is not bought by the
present council, the people will elect
councilmen next spring who will carry
out their instructions. There is not a
single note of sincerity in the plea that
Hughes is making for more delay. 1t
is simply a selfish political game, and
the wonder of it is that men like
Councilman Ryder of the First ward
should have SO long been bamboozled
and hoodwinked. The city has delayed
too long already. For ten years the
question of municipal ownership has
been uppermost in the minds of the
people. They nave cOnSldered 1t tnor-
oughly, they have decided it fairly, and
1T is treason for members of the city
council to repudiate the instructions of
the people.
1t is this same clique which gave
away the gas franchise, and which is
now apparently trying to give away
an electric light and power franchise.
The time has about come when the city
should have a new deal and put in
new set of councilmen to replace some
of those who seem unable to protect
the city'S interests.

Republican Papers Full of COndemna-
ton for Treasury Methods.
The Kelly Matter.

From the Mail and Breeze (''Dem.")
owned Jointly by Arthur Capper'
Topeka Capital ("Rep.D.
We remarked two weeks ago that
the matter of the cashing of the Car
den City coupons needed explanation.
So far no satisfactory explanation
has been given.
AS the matter stands now the evil
dence shows that Mr.. Kelly cashed the
coupons, that the money must have
been paid to him and that for year
and more it was not in the school
fund where it belonged. At the time
of the examination of the treasury by
the state accountant the money was
sent in by some mysterious person by
the name of Brown.
Mr.. Kelly has made a statement
which does not explain anything and
will not tend to increase the conf
dence of the general public in him.
There is a sort of vague animation
that he collected the money for some
other person. If so the other person
was evidently intending to rob the
school fund and in that event Mr.. KEEL
Iy must tell who the person was or
else he himself must bear the conse-
quences of the theft.
So far as the public is concerned
the public official who shields a thief
is as damaging as the thief.
If an investigation should show that
Kelly through desire to be accom-
modating had shielded some person
who was attempting to rob the state
treasury and especially the school fund
Mr.. Kelly would be held accountable
just the same as if he himself was
the thief. Furthermore, it is exactly
right that a public officer should be
held so accountable if he shields a
thief. a public officer has no right
TO protect a scoundrel at the expense
of the public.
We frankly own up that we can
not understand the matter. 1t is,
however up to Kelly. He either took
money that belonged to the school
fund and held the same for a year or
else he is shielding some party who
robbed the school fund. At least that
is the way it looks from the evidence
so far produced.
The above is the way it looks to
the Mail and Breeze. The editor of
the Mail and Breeze is not a Bailey
man or a Leland man, but a rabid
bossbuster of the most extreme type.
If there was any plausible defense for
Tom Kelly's course, Tom McNeal
would certainly defend him. How
many Republicans of Jackson county
will vote for a man for state treasurer
of whom his most Jealous partisans
and fractional friends have to admit
that either he is a thief or that he
is protecting a man who he knows
tried to rob the state ?-Holton Re-
