UGLY STORIES AFLOAT.
Scandal stage in Desiccating Situation
Is Reached.

That one or two of the city officials
are Interested in the city contract
which one of the three desiccating
companies is trying hard to get is the
charge that is going the rounds
1t is stated that these city officials
nave interested themselves unduly in
the interests of the one company. Not
that any graft has been banded about,
but It is claimed that one of the city
officers expects to become a member in
one Of the desiccating companies and
Is endeavoring to use his influence in
securing the contract for his company.
The fight to secure the contract
promises to be as warm a one as has
been participated in in the council for
three months. The Topeka Desiccat-
ing company proposes to stand on their
claimed rights and will not surrender
their contract without a struggle if
the council attempts to cancel it by
resolution. The contract has until
next July before it expires and with
the advantages which this carries with
II, the owners do not propose to throw
them away. The council will therefore
have to dicker with the Topeka Desic-
eating company willy nilly. The com
Dany has had the contract, through
varying partnership for the past three
or four years. and have never had any
decided competition to secure the
garbage contract until this year. Now
an opposition has sprung up which
seems to be pooling its interests.
The councilmen of Oakland claim
that it is a mistake to state that they
are fighting the proposed new location
of the Topeka Desiccating company
east Of Oakland. They claim that they
are opposed to the sites contemplated
by Hill & Son and the Engle Crema-
tory company.
Councilman 7. NJ. Orner, one of those
protesting to the Topeka council, said;
we have no objection to the site of
the Topeka Desiceating company. The
company is far enough from Oakland,
so we haven't any kick coming. They
are about two miles east of us here.
They have acted like perfect gentle
men, But we are fighting against the
location of this home company and
that other new company that we learn
are trying to locate on the Ludington
tract and the Farnsworth tract. Both
of these tracts are near the city. The
Ludington tract joins Oakland on the
north and the Farnsworth is right here
next to US on the south. We don't want
the city of Topeka to give contracts to
these two companies If they intend to
locate right here by us

you in her home and the pick of the
best girls and God to honor you with
long life walk into this church with
your old mother on your arm and treat

the devil gets in between. NO boy or
girl will go very far along that keeps
right on kissing mother
DO not have a room too nice for the
boy to have romp in When yous drive
him from the best room there is Sanger
of driving him to the saloon

The binder course consisting OF as

FIFTY MILLIONS "ro THE GOOD"

| Correspondence from Washington and
! the figures given out by the treasury,
| indicate that the government Is in pref
| ty good shape financially to go into the
winter and term of congress. Re-
trenchment has been the rule. Last
year when congress met the public
business for the first four months Of
the current fiscal year showed de-
felt Of s14,421,462. This year when
congress meets the public business for
the first four months of the current
fiscal year will show surplus of re-
ceipts over expenditures OF s10,422,S06,
or gain of almost s2500o,000
In the first four months of the fiscal
year of 1906 the civil and miscellaneous
expenditures OF the government reach
ed almost $50,000,000. In the first four
months of the fiscal year of 1907. just
closed, these expenditures were more
than $2,000,000 less The navy depart
ment made reduction during the same
time of nearly sS,000o00 In expendi
lures for pensions the same tale can be
told, nearly 100000 being saved thru
the reduction in the number OF PEN
sioners. The only departments or sec
lions of the government not showing a
reduction in expenses, outside of the
postoffice department, We're the war
department and the Indian bureau OF
the interior department. The net saw
ing was over $5,000,OO0.
During the first four months of thu
fiscal year Of 1906 the revenues from
the customs were $J0b,500,0 900 During
the same months of the present fiscal
year they are $114.6S1,Oo0, or "a gain Of
$9,1S1,000. The internal revenue made
gain Of over s6,O00,000 in the same
period, and the miscellaneous receipts
Of the government likewise showed an
increase of more than S3,000.0o0. IN
asmuch as the government receipts are
half of each fiscal year than during the
first half, 1t is estimated by the treas
call year Of 1907, on June 30 next,
the surplus from this years business
will have reached the neighborhood @!
$4,000 600

all the officeholders in the United
States who have furnished the price Of
drinks for election purposes were to be
ousted tomorrow, 1t Is likely that very
annoying stagnation of public business
would result. If all the crooked ball
lots and false counts and purchased
votes were to rise up in accusation
against the men who procured them or
permitted them to be procured, there
would be something doing in America.
Under the pressure of aroused senti-
ment we may expect to see some
stringent limitations of the privileges
of candidates for office soon enacted
into law. 1t would appear that no pro-
vision could be more effective than one
that renders crookedness OF no avail!

GORKy WAS IMPRESSED.

Maxim Gorky, getting away from this
| country with his actress and bad rep
utation has got very busy knocking on
| the American conception of liberty. Mr.
| Gorkys statement is that we haven't
| 1t; that he was here and knows and
that the boasted freedom of America is
only form of slavery very distasteful
to himself and other opponents of the
wide open, that Gorky calls liberty.
These are part of the Impressions he
carried away from the shores OF the
land Of the free and the home Of the
brave.
Maxim Gorky HAS done good work in
Russia as an agent Of wider freedom.
This country was alert to welcome and
applaud him. Had Gorky come to Am
erica as the representative of the
down trodden and oppressed, his well
come would have been warm and con-
tributions to the cause generous. But
he came unblushingly with con-
cubine among a people to whom such a
connection is criminal. Gorky, the
genius and sufferer for human rights,
was one thing; as the immodest expon-
emit of an immoral vice he was an
other. America retains the memory of
kossuth and other exiles for liberty's
sake. 1t fell away from the man whose
public and private morality We're SO
widely separated. Decency drove him
and his paramour from the hotels. Pub
lie opinion refused him hearing. His
gross immortality lost him the recep-
ton he achieved and cost the cause he
came to plead the loss of sympathy and
assistance. The American public was
ready to hear and help Russian need.
Gorky killed sentiment and locked the
money chests. The public could not
trust a man that it despised.
1t is well enough that Gorky should
retain and give voice to the Gin
pressions made on him in America.
This country should be satisfied. 1t is
well rid Of him and can afford to have
him suffering at distance better
than it could to keep him and his ilk
on this side Of the water, posing as
apostles of liberty and living in license.
