QUESTION FOR WATER BOARD

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 4.-Editor
Herald-As voter and taxpayer I
would like to ask the water commits
sion If the bonds on which we are to
vote on September carry do they in
tend to follow the example set by the
outfall sewer in giving the work to
men who have no vote and pay no
taxes, or will they give the voters and
taxpayers who have to stand for the
expenses a chance? I think this is
very important and would ask the COM
mission to give us guarantee that
Americans profit by the project.

AftergloW

Swiftly the weary sun
Sinks to it's rest,
Adown the glowing sky,
Far in the west.
Up from the east, the dark
It's mantle filings
Over the blue, and night
Quiet brings.
See, tho, where now has fled
The golden day,
Streams UP glory soft,
Into the grey;
And as the afterglow,
Shivers in the sky,
Days chiefest beauty reigns,
Fen as 'twould die.
At my life's even tide,
My day complete,
When 1 seek lowly rest,
And sweet retreat,
Bright may a memory
Follow me So
Beautiful may be my
Life's afterglow!

KUEHNE WILL ENLARGE.
VIII spend $4,000 on His Preserving
Plant in Topeka.

The plant of the Otto Kuehne
Pickle and Preserving company will
not be removed from Topeka to Kan
sas City or any other city. Official
and final announcements to this effect
have been made.
Instead of taking the Otto Kuehne
plant away from Topeka, it is now an
nounced that an extensive addition
viii be built this yea The plant, al
ready sufficient to turn out an
nous product, will have its capacity
increased almost one-third by the
addition of q new building and ma
chinery to be erected at a cost ap-
proxmately $4,000.
While the amount which will be
spent in Improvement is not one-third
of the amount already invested. the
improved facilities and the additional
room which will be created by the
new building viii have h effect of
increasing the output almost a third.
The Otto Kuehne plant is one of the
most thrifty and successful in the city
and gives employment to a large num-
Der of people and furnishes a market
o the products -of-the farmers for
many miles around Topeka. 1t is a
matter of much satisfaction to those
who have the welfare and growth of
the city of Topeka at heart to learn
that this plant viii remain here and
that it will be enlarged.

HOW THEY'RE ASSIGNED.
Distribution Of the Committees in City
Council.

Councilmen Ryder and Holiday
came out ahead of the game in the re-
distribution of council committees,
while Councilman Swendson was a
heavy loser in the transaction. Ryder
and Holiday were given places on five
important committees, instead Of on
three, as they had been, while Swend-
son, who was on four committees dur
ing the -Bergundthal regime, is now on
only two
Howe, Griley and Hughes are each
given a plaee. on four committees, and
all the other members of the council
get in on three.
There are, altogether, forty-two
committee places to be passed around.
This would make three places apiece
for each member of the council and
six more places to be handed around
as special favors-
Swendson's assignment as chairman
OF n streets and walks commmittee
is probably the one which involves
more work than any other appoint
ment. Consequently it was natural
that he should be given light work sc
far as other committee assignment was
concerned. His place on the
committee is similar in the nature of
the work to that on the streets and
walks committee.
Councilman Ryder, who is evidently
going to be one of the big men of the
present administration, is on the ways
ana means BO1tCS5 Ju0ICidIys health
and sanitation committees, and is
chairman Of the committee on claims
and accounts. These are five of the
most important committees. C. K.
Holiday was one of Davis strong sup
porters during the campaign, and it
was natural that he should be given
liberal treatment in the assignment to
committee work. He vas slated for
the Craftsmanship of the streets and
walks committee, but declined to ac-
cept this place. Instead he was made
chairman Of the judiciary, and mem

JEMETT HIRES LAWYER.
WouIdx't Consent to Employ Gleedi
Ware and Gleed.

D. W. MuIvane has been retained by
E. B. JeWett, warden of the p~entIentiaFy
as his attorney IN the suit brought
AGAINST Warden Jevett and Treasurer
Kelly in the supreme court TO test the
validity of the state oil refinery Donds.
Mr.. Mulvane was retained Tuesday al
ternoon after Mr.. Jewett had talked the
matter over with Governor Hoch.
Warden JeWett doe not recognize
GIeed, Ware & Gleed in the case but
that firm does not pretend to represent
the warden. The answer which they
filed in the case was for Treasurer Ael-
The story of how GIeed, Ware &
GIeed got into the case, as now told, is
as follows:
One day before the bids were opened
J. w. GIeed met Treasurer Kelly on the
street. Tt seems that Mr.. Kelly knew
that there was a condition attached TO
some of the bids that b validity OF
the bonds should be tested. Gleeds Ware
& Gleed a represented Kelly IN the
Bailey-kelly litigation, and j. w. Giseo
offered to represent Kelly in any llt1ga-
ton that might arise ver h bonds
without charging anything for his ser
vices. Kelly said he had no objection.
Subsequently Mr.. Gleed drew up a
contract whereby he was to represent
Kelly n Warden JeWett in the case
for a fee OF one dollar, which was, of
course only nominal, and he sent it to
Kelly But when Kelly showed the
contract to JeWett h warden objected
to it. He said Mr.. Gleed was evidently
looking to some one else for his COM
pensation and he did not believe q state
officer ought to enter into a contract of
that kind.
Mr.. Gleed heard nothing from Kelly,
and expecting to represent Kelly in the
case he went ahead and prepared an
answer in the suit. which John l. Hunt,
of the firm Of Gleed, Ware & Gleed,
took up to the supreme court and fled
while Mr.. G1eed was out of the city.
That is the way it all came about,
but now that the firm of Gleed, Ware
& G1eed is in the suit 1t is announced
Will probably be allowed to stand.

LET THE ERRING BROTHER GO.
Democrat Committee Sentiment Re-
garding Councilman Griley.

It is now up to Councilman Joseph
Griley Of the Second ward, to accept the
invitation of his colleague, c. K. HolIi-
day, and join the Republican party. for
at he meeting of he Democratic city
central committee Monday night. a res
olution generating Griley was with
drawn without action because. it is
claimed, such a resolution could not
have been passed.
Redhot speeches roasting Griley were
made by N. Is. Arnold and Dave Nor
gan, and the charge was made that the
Democrats did not have anybody to rep
resent them from the Second ward in
the council; that Griley allowed Ho1If-
day to vote him, and that consequent
" Holiday had two votes.
When Griley was asked today what
he would do about it, he said: This
whole fight has been made on me by
Dave Morgan. I viii show him that he
can't drive me out of the Democratic
party"
Chairman H. P. Miller. of the Demo-
cratic committee, said: Their was just
a little informal discussion. all good
natured, about the attitude which
Griley a taken. No action was taken
on resolution"
who introduced the resolution2''
duced."
Il thought you said there wasn't any
action taken on the resolution?'
We'll, 1 tell you: all that was done
was done in the executive committee,
and We agreed not to tell anything
about it. That's the whole story"
One of the members Of the committee
Who was lot SO inclined to be %secretive,
said:
The sentiment of the meeting was all
against Griley. A resolution endorsing
him and practically giving him a clean
bill of health was discussed. and the
members of the committee practically
were unanimous that if Griley wants to
leave the party IA join Holiday and
the others, he had better go. If there
are any other Democrats who want to
go with him, it is Up to them to act.
The people who introduced the resoIu-
ton saw that it had no show of pass
ing. and they withdrew 1t from the con-
sideration Of the meeting"
The whole fight on Griley started be-
cause it was claimed he had sold out''
Blair, the Democratic nomfnee for
mayor in exchange for votes for him
self. Griley's majority was $50 and
Blair's was only 30.
But the charge is also made that Cri-
ley is too much under the influence of
Councilman Holiday, and votes as Hol-
hday dictates. Holiday is the Republi-
can member from the Second ward.
