Ims particular place is-s very good example of what can be done with a piece of desert land under the Buck eye canal.

 It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and it's component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objection able substances.

WHY PUT 1T OFF?

DELAY is an excellent spelling for
disaster. And there is no more certain
a way of killing outright a proposition
of public moment than to delay It.
This is almost such a well-known fact
that it might be termed an axiom, a
self-evident truth. 1t applies with pc
culiar force to the present situation as
to whether or not the people of this city
are to have a chance to decide by their
votes whether or not they are DESTROYS
of having the city administered under a
commission form of government. Even
some of those who are favorable to the
movement appear to be willing to have
its contamination postponed for the
time being. They might as well I'M
sheathe a knife or two and stab it in
the back.
AS for the reasons for this delay,
none of any particular force have been
presented. There is no doubt that
among the amendments which the leg
islature will make to the law providing
for the government of cities by COM
missions will be one that will enable
the cities to make use of the law in the
April elections. If the people of this
city would like to try this method of
government, as it is believed that a
great majority of them would if they
had a chance to express their opinions
on it, why not have a special election
called at once to settle the question a.;
to whether Topeka will, or will not, at
tempt to run her city affairs in this
new and up-to-date. and likewise ade-
quate fashion. If this question is de-
cided by the people in the negative
why things can run on as usual, bue
if it is decided in the affirmative, as il
probably will be, why then there will
be plenty of time for candidates for
the commissionerships to get out in the
field and get nominated. They can
be selected at the regular spring
election time and the change of gov
eminent can be effected when they are
indicted into office.
Few people will surely be found who
will argue that change in the method
of governing the affairs of this city is
most desirable. And in making these
arguments no criticism will be leveled
at the present city officers. Thew have

The best friend a boy has, never
doubts that he is guilty.
Counting your blessings doesn't nee
essarily mean counting your kin.
Everyone has to think to be polite:
the first impulse is always to be i'm
polite.
Men have their faults. but they seem
to be more popular than women as
roonlers.
When a woman has no diamonds, she
says it is vulgar for other women to
wear them.
Every man considers a promise
mighty sacred when it is made by
someone else.
When a girl passes %, she stops
thinking of the men, and begins to
have thoroughly good time.
Some of the women are wearing such
big ruches around their necks they look
as if their halo had slipped down.
AS soon as a woman begins to store
up things against man, and he knows
it (and he always does), she might
as well give up hoping that he will
ever again be her honey boy.
Were you the First Child? Then you
had your pictures taken once a month,
and all your clothes were new. If you
were the Fifth, Sixth or Seventh Child,
you didn't have your photograph taken
till you were old enough to pay for it
yourself, and then none of the kin adj
mired it.
The Pennsylvanians have a way of
making pie out of cottage cheese,
which, they say. is delicious. If you
are ever offered a slice of this pie,
made by a Pennsylvania, don't scott
at it. Pennsylvanians regard a distaste
for cottage cheese pie as great am Of

Complaint is made that Atchison wo-
men wear ALL their hair to the thea
ter. The man who sits behind a wo-
man wearing ALL her hair has a just
cause to demand his money back. 1t
is pardonable for a woman to wear her
head covered with hair; indeed, Ma
ture demands it. but there is no ex-
cuse for her wearing a ton. If she
has on her braids, then she should
leave her puffs, pompadour, and mar
cells at home. The woman who wears |
ALL her hair looks like a freak: She
doesn't know it, perhaps, but she looks |
like the fuzzy-headed woman from
Borneo at the circus.

discharged their duties, generally, in
most acceptable fashion. and there are
several of them who are well qualified
by their experience and ability to serve
on a commission entrusted with the
city government. 1t is not the men
who are at the head of the city gov
eminent who are to blame for its in
efficiency in many ways. 1t is the
antiquated methods which they are
compelled by a variety of old WORKOUT
statutes to employ In the discharge of
their duties that is responsible. The
responsibility for doing things is divid
ed amongst them in a way that is little
less than distressing. This alone is the
reason for such ineffective government
as exists. And this is the chief evil
that would be eradicated If the city's
government were placed in the hands of
a commission.
Naturally among those who are most
ardent In urging a delay in this under
taking are men who have decided to
become candidates for various of the
city offices under the present form of
government They see in the adoption
of the commission plan a shattering of
their fond hopes and ambitions. They
should be public-spirited enough to dis
regard their personal prospects in the
premises and join hands in giving the
commission scheme trial at the
earliest opportunity. The time to do
this thing is now.

FISHING FOR FACTORIES.

Kansas towns are betraying an ad-
mirable spirit nowadays, in the matter
of boosting things, and this spirit will
be more conspicuous than ever now that
the success of the Republicans in the
national election gives promise OF con-
tinued and increased prosperity.
There is much clamoring for new
factories, and committees and CONNER
cial clubs and such organizations, are
being appointed or organized, to secure
such things. This is all well enough,
where some judgment is used; but 1t is
always a good plan to profit by the
lessons of history, and refrain from
running amuck.
There was another time when Kan
sas towns were frantic for factories,
and got them by the score; there were
cotton mills, and paper mills, and shoe
factories, and moonshine laboratories,
and all sorts of things; and raw mater
ial had to be shipped across the con-
tinent, and the finished product ship
ped back again, and it didn't pay.
You all remember how. for years, the
prairies were dotted with dismantled
and desolate factory buildings; no
smoke came from their chimneys-it
came from the mouths of the people
who had bought stock in the enter
prises, and whose language smelled of
sulphur.
they are not bad things.-Emporia Ga

Kansas City, Mo, never loses trick
of any kind to boom itself in all ways.
One of its organs, the Kansas City
Star. is now calling attention to the
fact that the town is really the fruit
farmers paradise. 1t contends that the
soil there is wonderfully adapted to the
culture of fruit, especially cherries and
that an acre of cherry trees planted in
the city will yield return of from 800
TO $500 season in three or four years
time. 1t is safe to say that it was not
generally known before that Kansas
City had such surplus of spare land
that it could be planted profitably to
cherry trees even with such alluring
returns per acre. Prolific and versatile,
indeed, are the possibilities in the burg
at the mouth of the Kaw.
