Il VIII BE Reached When Science
Has Whipped Us Into Line.
The smokeless city will be the In
evitable consequence of the application
OF modern science and advanced ideas
from both an economic and hygienic
standpoint. But the smokeless city
must be, by implication, an electrical
city. 1t Is therefore here that the
theme is best considered and some of
the satisfying and encouraging ele-
ments composing its analysis best set
forth.
To have smokeless and electrical
cities we must provide huge electrical
centers at the mines. We must trans
NIT hlgh-tension electricity from the
central stations there to the various
cities around. The limits of transmits
sion are well recognized as dependent
upon the limits of insulation. These
limits have not as yet been reached.
1t has been noted by the observers Of
electric progress that electric power
lines are radiating farther and farther
away from the home supply. 1t can
not be said that science would have to
be better known to reach the zenith
Of accomplishment in this reaching-out
process.
1t is not this by any means, but more
the fact that precedent has not as yet
established its basis of argument on
large enough scale. 1t is more a case
Of where the doing Is delayed, because
1t Is still to be done. A futile reason,
indeed. but still the one frequently Of
fered. The cost Of ton Of coal at
the mines and the cost of the power
equivalent Of that ton in New York
City could not represent a great
enough difference but to sweepingly
compete with the price we pay at pres
ent But 1t Is not the social conse-
quences Of a revolution like this we
have to deal with, but the engineering
possibilities involved, If It were not
the means even of considerably lower
Ing the power or electrical equivalent
OF ton Of coal 1t would still be the
only method left to follow.
The fact that mems minds are now
dealing with vaster problems than be-
fore is Indicative of the time when
this will be the one to interest them.
The development of millions Of kilo-
watts and the coal-mining centers Of
the country and the transmission of
this electricity to large and small
cities for distribution is no more diff
cult to understand than the attitude
we have accustomed ourselves to with
regard to our water supply. The reser-
voir Is indispensable, the pipe lines
through the streets and in the houses
the same. Why not coal energy in It's
converted form? This is the next great
problem Of the century and one not to
be too highly relished by the railroads
that carry coal. They as well as our
selves hold this power of transforma.

and though his breath was labor

self reaching out to her from his house

"I'm pretty sick. I'm glad you came,

"He's been good to me-"

talk now. Go to Sleep"
II don't want to sleep. I've slept
enough. 1t makes my head ache
worse"
In the end the boy ceased to groan
and twist and at last slept, but Ann re-
fused to go to bed. Her anxiety and
the many questions pressing to be an
swered engaged her so deeply that she
felt no need of sleep. Toward mid
night Braide, in despair of inducing
her to sleep, stretched himself in a
low chair and fell into doze.
1t was exactly o'clock when a
single gunshOt rang out sharply, like
the voice of sentinel questioning the
silent night. AS the girl listened tense
ly, three others, deeper throated, an

silence again interviewed for moment,

tat-tat of assault which brought Braide
to his feet.
Ann hurried to Raymond, calling
sharply, Rob, they are shooting!
Don't you hear them? Quick! Quick!'
Raymond rose to his feet dizzily and
looked at her blankly, the mist OF sleep
thick in his brain. Other shots and
cries followed, and though faint and
far they cleared his vision. Catching
a belt of cartridges from the wall and
turning to Braide he sternly asked,
"Can you shoots"
Before Braide could answer another
shrill chorus of yells, fierce as the out
cry of wolves, arose, a vivid light
filled the room, and a second later a
dull conclusion shook the earth be-
meath their feet. Ann shrank and
covered, but Raymond, menacingly
quiet, remarked: "Well, our turn has
come. They've blown up our shaft
house."
"Oh. no." cried Ann. "They wouldn't
do that. They daren't do that"
"That's what they've DONE" he bit
terly assured her. Then thought en-
tered his mind which staggered him.

THE POOR JoTNTTsTs

The liberal towns of Kansas are
evidently in a quandary as to which
candidate for governor to support this
fall. Governor Hoch is a prohibition
ist, but not a move has been made to-
wards law enfocement in Leavenworth,
Atchison, Wichita, or any of the no
toriously wide open" towns, except
Kansas City. Kan, during his first
term, but Governor Hoch's friends
hope that during his second term he
will do something" The Democrats.
on the other hand, have usually been
opposed to prohibition, but now they
are pledged to its enforcement So
what is the poor jointist to dc?
Here IS the advice of the Leaven-
worth Times on the subject
In the event that I am made gov
ernOr Of this state and David Over
myer is made attorney general, we
propose to see to it that every mayor
of every city, every county attorney of
every county, every sheriff OF every
county, every marshal of every city
and every police judge of every city
shall do his full and entire duty in the
enforcement of this and all other laws
The foregoing is Colonel Harris
most recent declaration with regard to
the prohibitOry law. There is no long
er any excuse for speculation as to
what Colonel Harris will do in the
event of his election. He will demand
the county machinery. If It fails he
Will remove it. What will be the
result?
Every Kansas town or city that now
licenses saloons through the fine sys-
tenn would be deprived of its present
police court revenues. LeavenWOrth
would lose annually sum OF from
$4,000 to $50, now used toward
the maintenance of the police and fire
departments and toward public i'm
prOvement. The situation here would
be identically that at Kansas City, Kan.
We should have no funds with which
to meet the interest payments on our
| obligations and the taxpayers would
1 be compelled to make up the def
4 cheney. The tax levy in LeavenWOrth is
/ already abnOrmally high, but with the
| splendid revenues We are now receiv-
/ ing the time is in sight when we may
make a material reduction in the rate
| of assessment. Interference with the
! present adjustment in Leavenworth
and each of the liberal towns of the
state would introduce a condition of
1 chaos. And for what?
For compliance with an impractical
/ promise made in the endeavor to Sc
cure votes. No one believes that the
1 sale Of liquor could be stopped in
i Leavenworth. Atchison, wichita, Pitts
+ burg, or a dozen other towns. even If
! the police court dnes were cut OF.
Such action has had no such effect in
Topeka, nor at any other point Prac-
/ tically, the annual consumption would
not be disturbed.

knows what are saloons and what is
the alternative Of dives and bootleg
i gers. It has worked out its own

Mr.. GREENS CANDTDACY.

The action Of William Green in con-
senting to become a candidate for
mayor is matter for congratuIation
to the citizens Of Topeka Mr.. Green
is an ideal candidate. He combines
personal integrity, sound business
judgment, and progressive yet con
sentative ideas. He stands for the
consistent enforcement Of law. He is
himself a successful business man. and
his advice is valued in all commercial
matters. He has had four years ex-
perience on the city council which hes
made him thoroughly conversant with
the city's business. He is not a hide
bound partisan. but he is a thorough
Roosevelt Republican.
No more representative candidate for
the mayoralty could be found than
William Green. His record as council
man from the Third ward is excellent
How the people Of his ward regard him
is shown by their action in electing him
first as an independent candidate over
the regular Republican nominee, al
though the ward is strongly Republi-
can. Last year he was persuaded to
allow his name to be used in the Re
publican primaries and he was nomfna-
ted by big majority. although previ-
ously he had been an independent in
politics.
The city of Topeka will be fortunate
in securing a mayor like Mr.. Green. It
is a personal sacrifice for a good bust
ness man, with interests of his own to
look after, to give to the city the time
the mayOralty demands, and Topeka is
therefore to he congratulated that Mr..
Green has consented to the request of
many of the leading Republicans and
representative business men Of the city
to become a candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for mayor. He should
receive it by big vote. after which his
election next spring viii be a mere
formality

orIgln Of the Postage stamp.

Quite recently there has been more
or less discussion as to the origin of
the postage stamp.
Perhaps the most authentic story is
that which comes from the postofffce
department at Washington
1t appears that about sixty-five years
ago. Rowland Hill was travelling
through one of the northern districts
Of England, and for a time was So
journing at an inn where the postman
came with g letter for a young daugh-
ter of the inn-keeper. The young miss
turned the letter over and over in her
hand, and after examining the en-
velope minutely inquired the price of
the postage. which was a shilling. She
sighed sadly and returned the letter
to the postman, saying that it was from
her brother but that she had no
money.
Mr.. Hill was an onlooker and was
touched with pity. He paid the post
age. and his action seemed to embar-
rass the girl. When the postman had
gone she stated to Mr.. Hill that some
signs marked on the envelope conveyed
to her all she wanted to know and
that as fact there was no writing en-
closed. In extenuation she said that
she and her brother had contriVed
code system of communicating, as
neither Of them were able to pay post
charges.
Mr.. Hill thought of the results of a
system which made such frauds posi-
