A "CARD OF THANKS

The newspapers sometimes slur the
card of thanks. but when it comes
from the heart and carries with it a
depth of meaning instead of being a
mere formality, it is not always desery-
ing of censure.
Such a communication appears in a
recent number of The Outlook. It was
penned by the master hand of Jacob
Riis, and its references to Immortality
are so simple yet so sublime that they
cannot fail to touch everyone who has
felt the weight of the hand of The
Reaper. It was written in response to
multitude of letters which Mr.. Riis
received concerning the death of his
wife, and its faith is so great in its
simplicity and its sublimity that it
must prove a solace for many an aching
heart. Here it is:
so many friends have written to
me and mine words of love and SYM
pathy and of tender appreciation of her
whom every one loved, as truly she
gave of her full heart to all Gods chill
dren, that I am constrained to ask you

write to them all in reply is not posi-
BILE. I do thank them from the bottom

MORE KELLY LAwLEssNEss.

Another instance of T. T. Kelly's re-
gard for law is shown by his action in
taking money out of the state treasury
| intended to apply on the Payment for
the treasurer's bond under the new law
and using it to reimburse himself for
what he had paid for his old bond and
bonds for his employees.
Here is the provision concerning the
states paying for the new bond:
Within twenty days from the taking
effect of this act, the state treasurer
shall give another bond, with good and
sufficient sureties in an amount to be
fixed in writing by the governor. If
surety company's bond is given by the
state treasurer, as required by this Sec
ton, the expense OF such bond or
premium charged therefor shall be paid
by the state treasurer out of the gen.
eral revenue fund, and there is hereby
appropriated for this purpose the sum
of two thousand dollars, OF SO much
thereof as may be necessary, for the
term of the present state treasurer
This appropriate can only be used
If the treasurer gives a surety bond
under this new law, yet it turns out
that Kelly has already used this money
to pay for his old bond given last Jan
uary, some time before the law was
passed. He took this money in April.
This is merely another sample of the
way Kelly abuses the trust put upon
him. He knows no state law when it
comes to handling the states money.
He uses it as best suits his purposes.
He is a law unto himself.
How long do Attorney General
Coleman and the other officials whose
duty it is to protect the state and to
prosecute Iawlessness propose to allow
this lawbreaker to defy the law and go

THE WHOLE TRUTH.

A peevish kansas paper says: "Of
course the depositors in the Kansas
City bank which failed this week are
mostly Kansans." Why not be candid
and tell the rest of it? The president
of the bank is a Kansan; the failure
was caused by C. J. Devlin, a Kansan,
and the debtors are mostly Kan
sans" too.-Kansas City Star.
Why not be more candid and tell
some more of the rest of it2 Kansas
City is supported by Kansas. A large
number of the leading business men
of Kansas City are Kansans. 1t has
been Kansas money that has built
Kansas City, and Kansas money keeps
it going. Kansas City demands and
receives much of the best that Kansas
produces. A large portion of the de-
posts not only in the Kansas City
bank that failed, but also in all other
Kansas City banks come from Kansas.
If Kansas City had to depend on its
Missouri trade it would be about the
size of Lawrence. but with the aid OF
the railroads it compels all of Kansas
to pay tribute to it, and that is what
has built it uD.

1t is a praiseworthy action on the
part of the people of North Topeka to
take the initiative in a move that will
make Garfield Park a part of the park
system of the city of Topeka. To be
sure it will be primarily a North To-
peka park and the residents and prop
erty owners of the First ward will be
the ones that will profit by it chiefly,
but they also propose to pay the first
cost by creating benefit district of the
First ward.
1t Will not be necessary to wait for
trees to grow in Garfield Park before
it will be available for children's par
ties and picnics. There are already
Improvements in the way of buildings
in the park which are said to have
cost seven thousand dollars; almost as
much as the entire park will cost the
benefit district. 1t has for years been
favorite resort for Topeka people,
but being a private enterprise it has
not been improved simply as a place
of pleasure and beauty open to the en-
tire public.
The cost of improvement will. of
course, be borne by the city as a
whole, the same as are those in other
parks, but the shade and trees already
make Garfield park an attractive spot,
and it can doubtless be beautified at a
comparatively small cost.
Its effect on North Topeka cannot
help be other than to increase the
value of property in the First ward
and to make it a more desirable resi-
dence locality. The danger of foods
in that part of the city has been great
ly lessened by the dykes that have
been built and there is little probable
ity that the next generation will see
such a disastrous overflow as North
Topeka had in 1908. There is there
fore no reason why the First ward
should not build up and become To-
cality of as well-to-do homes as any
part of the city, and the Improvement
of Garfield park as a public park will
be big help in that direction.
