that an arrangement could be made
whereby the county could use the
top of the dam for a roadway. The
commissioners declined to do this
and Mr.. Graves and his associates
had to come further upstream than
they had planned.
Placing a dam at the bridge site,
or possibly a little below it. would
have enlarged the storage capa city
of the reservoir above the dam, but
there Is considered to be plenty of
back water space as 1t is. At the

by the river Is about 80 feet deep.
A suggestion of the situation may

County Surveyor Cummings as to
the bridge. 1t is $50 feet long and

depth of the river at low water
has been ascertained to be 10 feet.

SUPPRESS TIE CLUBS.

Isn't it about time that Topeka was
suppressing. once for ALL the so-called
clubs that bring disgrace upon the fair
name of this city?
If reports which are told about them
arc true-and they are not disputed
some of these places are as bad as
those which disgrace some of the big
cities that make no pretensions to civic
virtue along such lines.
A few weeks ago a number of minis
tiers, after a personal investigation one
Saturday night. made assertions con-
corning these dens of iniquity that
startled the good people of Topeka. 1t
was alleged that these so-called clubs
were the loafing places of gamblers,
tougEs and couitesans. and that boys
and young men from good families fire.
quented them and associated with these
low characters. The people OF Topeka
who see nothing of these things could
scarcely believe that they exist, and a
good many were inclined to think the
facts were overdrawn and exaggerated.
But they may be true. A few days
ago the news columns of this paper
contained a description of one of these
places secured from authoritative
sources. and it IS alleged that not only
boys. but also girls. are inveigled into
them and started on the downward
road. It is asserted. too, that courte-
sans and other evil characters not only
mingie with the patrons of these places
in the barrooms. but that there are
private rooms provided for them.
AS corroborative evidence that wo-
men are allowed in these places, comes

men in one Of these joints on lower

apparently. but many Of the big cities
Of the country do not permit such
places as these to exist Resorts such
as the ones described are little better
than the wine rooms and low dance
halls Of the worst American cities. Why
should they be permitted to exist in the
capital of Kansas?
It is true that when they become too
notorious they are put out of business
by the authorities. and the fact that
they are operated behind locked doors
