THE SANTA FEE SHOPS.

News that the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railway company has let
some fifty thousand dollars worth of
contracts for continuing the work of
extending its shop system in this city
deserves more than g. passing notice.
Topekans seldom stop to think
what the Santa Fe shops and their
extension mean to the city and them
selves. There will be no greater fac
tor in the growth of Topeka than the
enlarged Santa Fee shops. the plans
for three years, although the extern
sions already made during the past
year have been large and Of i'm
portance.
When the enlarged shop plants has
been completed about two thousand
more men than were employed regu-
larry at the shops up to six months
ago will be needed to operate them.
This means an increase in the popu-
lation of the city of eight or nine
thousand persons, for the shop man Is
a family man and q family averages
four or more. And the shop folks are
thrifty persons, home making per-
sons. the most desirable sort of citi-
zens for any community to have.
Such an increase in the population
will mean a decided increase in every
field of endeavor in the city. Business
houses of all sorts will enjoy an en-
larged trade. There Will be room for
new ones. More schools viii be need
ed. In fact there will be a needed
moreness of everything which win
tend to increase the prosperity of the
city and its people.
Another of the resulting benefits
will be the development of the north
ern and eastern sections of the city,
south of the Kaw river. as a resi-
Dental district. district of homes
and in a territory which is handy to
the shops and in easy touch with the
city proper through two car lines.
Surely this action of the Santa Fe
In making Topeka the big shop center
of it's entire system is one that should
be deeply appreciated by the whole
people of the city for it means so
much to them and the progress of the
commonwealth.
In a way this action of the Santa Fe
is also a great compliment to the city.
Some time ago when the officials Of
the road thought that the main shops
might be located at a more advan-
tageous point in connection with the
operation of the system than at To-
peka-and this was before the plans
for the new shop improvements here
were undertaken a year ago-one of
the arguments used by the Santa Fe
officials who favored Topeka was that
1t was such a fine city for persons to
live in. They pointed out the unsur-
passed school system that would be
placed at the advantage of the
children; the free
dom of the city from sa-
lonos and joints and other dens of
iniquty; in fact, the many well known
advantages that the city possesses as
a place where shop folks or any kind
of folks for that matter, can make
most desirable homes. And these
arguments. 1t is known. had great
weight with the high officials of the
road in deciding to make large shop
extensions here and making the To-
peka shops the main ones for the en-

GLOBE SIGHTS.

LFrom the Atchison Globel
All the tears in the world will not blot
| out bad action.
There are so many things you can do
without and want.
The smaller the woman the more she
loves to impose on big man.
A terrible lot of the hospitality met
these days belongs to the homeopathic
school.
If you want criticism of your own
work, tell your friends 1T is the work
Of someone els.
After you have said you are sorry in
a sick room, get out. The doctors and
the nurses will do the rest.
How loud the voice of the man who
hates us, and how weak and trembling
the voice Of the man who admires us!
A woman never calls another woman
"a snake in the grass" unless they have
had trouble over some man.
Nearly every town man believes
some farmer should think enough of
him to give him Thanksgiving tur-
key.
A man may die for a woman (indeed
the story books say it is often done)
but before he dies he will insist upon
sleokins through his mail *,
Much as children admire their par
ents, at the bottom of their hearts they
think when they are grown they will
be great improvements on them.
About the only thing an old man
learns by experience is not to wear too
tight shoes: You never hear an elderly
man complain that his shoes arc too
small
When there are a lot OF chickens
lying around a grocery store, with
their legs tied together, the hens
squall on slighter provocation than
the ROSTERS.
If a woman has the happy knack
of being able to dress in a hurry, she
must never tell 1t, for such a boast
leads other women to think, Yes,
you look it,
Fashion Note: Girls are wearing not
only all their combs, but also ali the
combs belonging to their sisters. and a
few look as if they had robbed their
cousins and their aunts.
Don't defend your bad habits with
the excuse that people are charitable,
the charity people have for the faults
of others is not as strong as their dis
position to pay tribute to the men who
succeed through honesty and industry
Charity may permit an erring man 10
go his wretched way without moIesta-
ton, but 1t will not associate with him.

Rather remarkable, isn't 1t. that as
soon as the majority of folks get into
jail, it develops they are afflicted with
some chronic disease that not even
their closest friends were aware they
were suffering from? Aaron Pigg, do
ing two months bit, is in this class.
The county commissioners have been
asked to parole him because he is i'll
with pleurisy. That's hard luck. But
Pigg was convicted of attempting to
influence Jurors and two months in Jail
I'm little enough punishment for such a
crime, even though the criminal may
have pleurisy or any other ailment.,

That dispatch from st. Petersburg TO
the effect that hundreds. of Russians

must be joke. In the first place the
United States and Japan have no in
tention of fighting and in the second
place the conduct Of the Russians in

made no mistake; that whatever en-
couragement criminals may take-1I
they take any-from the exercise OF

FROM OTHER PENS
FOOD FOR THOUGHT.


In a letter to the national commit
tee of the peoples party now in ses-
sion at St. Louis Tom Watson says:
Roosevelt makes motions like a
populist and Bryan accuses him of
borrowing his ideas. but Bryan and
Roosevelt. as well as Senator La Fol-
lette, Cows Folk, Conner, Glenn and
Hoke Smith, have appropriated those
principles for which you and I con-
tended in days that tried mems souls"
Here is what serious people call
food for thought. Is Mr.. Watson In
error? Mr.. Bryan accuses Mr.. Roose-
welt of appropriating his policies, and
Mr.. Watson accuses Mr.. Bryan of ap-
propriating them from the populists.
Is populism, in this indirect way JUS
titled of her children? The populists
think SO, and next year they will ask
the country by means of presidential
ticket and a platform to pass upon
the question. Mr.. Watson may go in
to the matter more fully when he

cember.-Washington Star.
