declared that Mrs. Gould is undergo

Mrs Gould is generously allowed for

Mr. Gould started to provide for her at

A SENSIBLE PLAN.
MFR. Jordan Would Stop Cars on
"Near" Side of Street.

Councilman Jordan will introduce a
resolution at the next regular council
meeting looking to the introduction of
an ordinance regulating the stopping
of street cars The idea is to have all
cars stop at the near instead of the
far crossing at the street intersections
The death of Mr.. Marble, who was
struck bv car at the corner of
Laurent and Kansas avenue, in North
Topeka. last week was due to the fact
that Mr.. MARBLE, who came out of a
grocery store at the corner and started
across the street, did not see the ap-
preaching car. He passed behind
car going north which had stopped
lust across the street. The car going
south, which struck the unfortunate
man. passed the car standing on the
north side of the crossing and killed
the pedestrian, when If it had been
stopped at the near side of the cross
ing such an accident would been i'm
possible.
Mr.. Jordan's idea is to have the cars
here observe the rule practiced in near
ly all large cities. which is to stop
when approaching street crossing in
stead of crossing the street and then
stopping. Street cars always stop
when approaching railroad crossing.
Why? To insure that their cars shall

WHAT COULD TAFT DO?
Bryan Says Republican Leaders OPP
pose Reforms He Proposes.

Brockport, n. Y, Sept. 21.-In a
vigorous speech at this place today de-
livered to big crowd from the rear
platform of his special car, Mr.. Bryan
attacked the Republican party on its
record of things accomplished. Presi-
dent Roosevelt he said, was not salts
fed with the ability of Mr.. Taft to
present the Republican cause and rep
resent the Republican party and
therefore he had given two endorse
ments of his former war secretary.
But" he said, sit will require more
endorsement then that from the presi-
dent to convince the people of this
country either that the Republican
party has done all that it should do or
that Mr.. Taft will do what ought to be
DONE"
Mr.. Bryan declared that whatever
Mr.. Taft's inclination may be he must
cooperate with the Republican lead
ers in the senate and house and if
he did not have influence enough to
secure the kind of a platform he want
ed at Chicago, If the Republican lead
ers at Chicago were willing to DEFY
him in the very presence Of the cam
paign il they were willing to reject
popular proposals in the face of the
voters are they likely to harmonize
with him after election when 1t is not
necessary to consult public opinion?
Mr.. Bryan called attention to what
he said was the conflict which has been
going on for four years between tne
president and congress.
1.-The president, himself" he SAID
"has not been able to secure from a
RenubIican congress the legislation he
sYacificaIIy asked for and when he
osks that Mr.. Taft be elected to con-

decision speedily after the case IS
called before MIN. If he decides to
DENY the jury trial Thaw will have to
return to Matteawan unless the bank
