FOR A SISTERS HOSPITAL.

One of the most commendable
moves recently made in Topeka is the
proposal to locate a hospital here
under the control and direction of the
Sisters of Charity.
At present Topeka is poorly supplied
with charitable hospital facilities. Few
cities of Topeka's size in the United
States are not equipped with a Sisters
hospital, and the need for something
of the kind here is great. Other To-
peka hospitals do some charity work,
but the need Is much greater than they
have facilities to supply, and scarcely
a week goes by without demonstrating
the necessity of an institution where
the poor who are in want of hospital
treatment can go. The. Sisters of
Charity are noted for work of this
kind. They never refuse the needy
when it is in their power to give aid.
Yet it is not pretended that it will
be entirely a charitable institution.
Patients who are able to pay Will be
charged regular hospital fees-for
without some income it would be i'm
possible to do charitable hospital work.
The Sisters of Charity give their lives
to doing good and ministering to the
wants of the needy, but they conduct
their hospitals on the principle of
charging those who are able to pay,
which enables them to care also for
those who are not able to pay.
1t is proposed to build this hospital
on the J. B. Johnson property on West
Sixth avenue. and the citizens of To-
peka are asked to furnish the site. It
will cost $4,000. The Sisters Will do
the rest. erecting a $4,000 hospital to
start with. A committee of business
men has been appointed to raise the
amount necessary to purchase the site.
The need of this institution in this
community must appeal to every
thoughtful Topekan to such an extent
that the amount asked will doubtless
be forthcoming.

In the securities issued upon railroad
property. He does not believe in

interested only in dividends and the
effect these dividends have upon stocks

Isn't the Beacon inclined to be a
trifie extreme with Mr.. Hartman? To
be sure, a great many people agree
with Uncle Shelby Cullom in the opin-
ion that Mr.. Hartman ought to be in
the penitentiary as a result of that
Alton deal, but few people who have
followed his career will question Har-
riman's ability as a railroad operator.
1t is true that this so-called
wizard is a stock manipulation. but
there is doubt as to whether gam
BIER could be applied to him. A
gambler takes chances; Hartman
does not. His is a sure-thing game,
and Hartman always wins
But he is undoubtedly a manipula-
tor. He juggles the finances of his
railroads so as to bring him more
power and greater profits, and some of
his juggling is exceedingly question
able.
AS a railroad executive, however,
Mr.. Hartman really has few peers.
His ability to see the future of the
Union Pacific and the manner in which
he reorganized and rebuilt that wreck

career
Hartman is a master of transporta-
ton He grasps the great problems of

the cost of transportation that the
great battles between the railroads
are being fought. Hartman built the
Lucin cutoff on the Union Pacific, he
cut down its grades and Strengthened
its curves-and that is one of the
things that has contributed largely in
giving Hartman his present place in
the railroad world.
Mr.. Hartman is truly a stock
manipulation. and in that respect he
should be restrained, but his ability as
a railroad operator is worthy of adj

all about any responsibility out west,

that one other beside Nick had played
fair too, fair to Little Brighteyes.-
