McNeal and Smith are not the same
kind Of people; in fact it would be very
hard to find anybody much like Tom
McNea1. McNeaI is an older hand at
the political business than Smith, and
can call everybody who ever ran for an
Office in the state by his first name.
Smith is a quiet, good natured sort of
a man, who will make friends easily;
but who is not likely to equal McNeaPs
record as free-for-all mixer.
Smith is a clever, level headed and
Intelligent man, who will rapidly pick
up the acquaintance which is so desir-
able in the position which he will hold.
He is the kind of man Governor Hoch
needs at his right hand; one to whom
he can confide with the utmost freedom
all the matters of state which come be-
fore him. Smith will never betray
trust.

GOOD FOR THE CITY.
Municipal Water Plant Shows Healthy
Increase in Earnings.

The Topeka. waterworks system is
going to- prove one of the best invest
ments that the city ever made. The
only thing which will keep the city
money credited to the surplus fund
will be mismanagement on the part of
the board of commissioners or the in
lection of politics on the part of the
council
For the six months ending June 80,
the earnings have increased over the
corresponding period of last year by
$3,491.11.
The earnings, total for 1904, were
$8S,159.18; on a basis of the increase
shown by the first six months of this
year, 1905 should show on the evening
of December 81 earnings of approx
u1ately $4,000, or an increase of some
$4,000.
average of the past five years as a
basis, is $26,6S5.S9. The interest
charges which the city will have to
meet on it's 100000 bonded indebt-
$27,500. The bonds run for thirty
years.
The total expenditures for the year
should not exceed therefore $54,185.39,
not counting extensions. This would
leave surplus, not counting on any
increase in receipts over that of 1904,
of $2S,973.29, but there is an increase
and the surplus will doubtless hover
close to $37 1000. This would leave
ST, 200 which could be used each year
for betterments and extensions of the
plant and an additional $4,000 which
could be applied to q sinking fund for
the paying off of the bonded indebted
ness. The entire discharge of the
100000 debt could be made in that
time at the above rate.
The cost of extensions averages
about $500 per block; fifteen blocks Of
mains could be laid each year at this
rate and still leave $4,000 annual ex-
penditure for general improvements of
the plant. It is a good investment
either way you figure it.
The following are the monthly earn
ings, comparative statements of re-
ceipts for the six months ending June
80 in 1904 and 1905. 1t will be noticed
that only one month shows a decrease
this year and that is May where it fell
short 1888, all the remaining months
sh owing substantial increases:

ssWhen bought the machine and en-
plOyed FOote Ten days ago made only
two conditions with him." said Mr. Hill
t'The first was that he should never
take the machine out OF the garage
without my permission and the other
was that he should never run az fast
speed in the city under any circur1-
stances. He violated both rules within
a few days. I accepted his explanation
and his promise not to repeat the Of

for the second time when going out q
town to meet me. I told him wou1d
wait until knew how the court re-

HOW Topeka GROWS.
Big Increase in Residence Building Is
Shown.

Building operations for the first six
months of the present year are far in
excess of those of the preceding year.
The total for 1904. first six months,
was $360,43S, while for the CORE
spending time this year the amount
represented was $445.553. or an in
crease of $85,115.
The great majority of the permits
were for residences; this is true for
both years. 1.-THE business building is
an exception and only creeps in here
and there. 80
Both January and February were
heavy months in 1904, while in 1 sos
hardly anything was done. There was
an exceedingly big jump from Febru-
airy of this year to March. $138, 900. In
1904 the difference between the two
was about $4,000. ..
The Quincy street school building
and the Santa Fe freight depot, the
former for $4,000 and the latter for
$29,500 were the large building per-
mits which contributed to the first
months standing in 1904.
The following is the COMPARISON:

KAw RIVER CASE is ARGUED.
Court wfm Now Appoint a Special
- - Master. ~es1-

The Kaw river injunction cases
against Kansas CityrArzns obstructing
the river at its mouth, were argued in
the federal court Friday. The excep-
ton filed by the defendants were al
lowed in number of instances, but in
the main were turned down by Judge
Pollock. 1t will now be necessary for
the court to appoint a special master
to hear testimony.
The special master will probably be
announced on Monday. His duty will be
to proceed at once and take testimony
concerning the navigability of the riv-
err After that there will also be some
law points to settle. The taking of tes-
timony. will probably occupy the entire
summer.

1hoF0 is PROBABLY very pOlSHdlt
reason why the call from the fields
has not been so marked this year, and
that is because a rate was made from
the cities west of Kansas, particularly
Denver as well as from Kansas City,
Topeka and like places east Of the
counties where the help was needed.
''That helped out very materially"
said Major Anderson this morning. 81
think it was a very good plan too.
The putting in of the same rate of one
cent per mile from Denver supplied
to a great extent the counties up in
the northwest and left those farther
east for us to fill. I think it an emf
all points, for it will give the farm
ers better class of workers, for they
will have more to pick from"
Major Anderson makes a very good
employment agent. He didn't just send
everybody who applied. A man had
out OF him which at least indicated
that he might be eligible to mix it
with wheat shocks under broiling
suns. He took especial delight in send
ing out college students. There were
altogether eight in the list which went
from here.
It seems a little strange that help
was found SO easily this year, mas
much as there was much manual labor
to be had close around here. Much
sewer work is going on in this city.
The Union Pacific is building double
tracks. Contract jobs where lots of
1aborers are needed are quite numer-
Gus, and work is anything but scarce.
But the men were gotten away to the
farmers and they seem to have enough
help. Secretary Anderson says he has
no demand for harvesters, with the
exception of a few very small instances
on his books right now.

WEATHER WAS Too HoT.
That Is Why Trade Train Meeting Did
Not Materialize.

Because of the sultry and oppressive
weather last night, the attendance at
the Commercial club meeting of those
who will probably go with the Topeka
trade train was very light. Neverthe-
less the interest in the proposed adver-
tisement is very marked, says Chairman
w. L. Taylor of the trade extension
committee, who has been canvassing
the situation during the past ten days
Another meeting will be held very
soon. at which time everyone who is
planning to take part in the train, will
be asked to attend. Mr.. Taylor will
announce in a few days when that
meeting will be held. 20

Bicycle Craze Again =?

There is revival of the bicycle craze in England All
the bicycle factories working overtime keep up with
orders.
It's happy revival of a sensible craze. Would that it
might extend to our country!
good strong revival of the bicycle craze would revo-
utionze the lives of millions of people 1t would put oxy
gen into their lungs color into their cheeks and new life in
their whole bodies.
1t would take hundreds of thousands of young men
from the city streets Sundays out into the fresh air of
the green country 1t owuld take hundreds of thousands
OF young women from the confines of home and
from the silly rounds Of social gayees out where the
world is big and bright and beautiful.
bicycle would make millions of CITY peope ac-
quanted with the pregnant fact that their own block is
not the whole world and that beyond their street are other
streets and lanes and fields and groves and that beyond
their little social set is boundess domain of happy h
mankind.
w is impossible to estimate the good the bicycle once
dld for the people of our cities. Many and woman
owe their fine health today the fact that they once were
victims OF the craze" The lives of many more were
made fuller of sunshine by it. Not only the lungs but the
hearts OF unnumbered men and opened to in
halaticns that were fresher cleaner, purer
revival of the craze would bring these nestimabe
blessings to millions now growing into manhood and
manhood 1t would give broader vew better health and
brighter spirit to the manhood and woanhood OF the fu
ture.
Get wheel and pedal out into the green country It
may not start craze, but will stir up your blood and
spirit

Conservation of the developments
of childs soul shows that it has
no connection with the divine.
THE belief in the divine origin
of the soul is closely connected with
the belief in the immortality of the
soul. The theory of the immortality
of the soul is indefensible. The idea
of immortality is by no means uni
versal, as is often stated. The Ionic
philosophers knew nothing of the i'm.
mortality of the soul.
THE idea of immortality was not
part of the Mosaic religion, but ap-
peared after the period of the Israel
ties exile. Plato and Aristotle intro
duced the theory of Immortality.
what is known as mans sour is
contained in his cerebral matter If
the lowest types Of the human race
are compared with apes. the con-
clusion Is inevitable that the differ

the soul of apes is matter of
quantity and not IA matter OF quality.
The human soul and the soul Of apes
are absolutely Identical in character"
