We have 40 ordinance against
the throwing ofrubtish. trash, tin
cans and such in the alleys and vet
we woefully and wiltullv neglect
paying attention to the law. We
need TO have general cleaning up
and the ordinance should be en-.
forced. The alleys are in some
instances almost impossible. straw.
hey. in some instances part Of
fences and in almost every in
stance wire. tin cans, screen and
every other kind OF wire and
manure piles. The alleys belong
to the city and there is no more
authority for throwing anything
in them than there is in allowing
the streets TO be a public nuis-
ence, and at this time Of year
there should be a general cleaning
on account Of sanitary reasons and
also on account Of appearances.
Look at the alleys anywhere as
you pass them and see if you do
not agree with US.

The recent visit OF Major I. j.
Anderson of Topeka to this sec.
ton Of the stste TO investigate the
Hessian Ely and Green Bug stu
tation. is one Of the biggest jokes
of the season. 1t shows to what
extremity some people will 90 to
favor a politician. As far as Maj
or Anderson is concerned. he is
a very estimsble gentleman. but
wh N it comes to sending a retired
railroad passenger official. and
borken down politician out to in
vesigate crop condition. th. limit
has been reached. There is no
doubt about what the Major one
time lived on farm. and that
after the threshing season is over
be can tell wheat from oats. but it
is ridiculous to think of him as
an expert to investigate the DAM
age of insects to growing crops
and to advise practical farmers
as to what they should do with
their crop. 1t may oe money vel
spent for a politician. but it is
the tax payers money spent Z

Red Tape of the District Government

Stotts great act Of kindness the cats
owner showed a crisp dollar bill in the
officers hand as he relieved him of the
pet.
Aside from being a brave and cour-
ageous policeman, Stott is stickler
for duty, and after receiving the dollar
he hurried to the commander of his
precinct, Capt. BoyE, and told him OF
his good fortune.
This was the starting point or the
big ball of red tape that was to wind
around that crisp dollar bill before
Private Stott could really call it his
own.
The next day Maj. Sylvester re-
ceived letter from Capt Boyle re.
lating the facts in the case. Capt
Boyle in turn forwarded the document
to Commissioner West
After carefully reading tho commu-
nication and looking up the laws upon
the subject Commissioner West placed
his stamp of approval on the docu'
ment The paper was sent to Com.
missioner Macfarland and Commits.
sioner Morrow in turn, who, after dus
official consideration, followed the ex
ample of Commissioner West and gave
their rubber stamped approval.
Then the jacketed document started
upon it's return journey, and some day
Stott will get his dollar.
