WICHITA AND TOPEKA.

Casual comment was made in these
columns some days ago of the fact
that the salary of the postmaster at
Topeka is larger than that of the
similar officer for Wichita. AS was
expected. it provoked a reply from
the Wichita Beacon which referred to
the statement concerning the post
masters as ''Topekas Only Claim and
which continued:
THE principal advantages Wichita
claims over Topeka are it's bank
clearings, wholesale and retail traf-
f1c, taxable wealth, population, civic
righteousness and freedom from par
tisan politics. 1t is a perquisite of a
political capital to enjoy larger pub
lie salaries"
There is no disposition on the part
of the State Journal to enter into "a
controversy of any sort over the re-
spective merits of Topeka and Wich-
| tia. Nothing of good is ever served by
such idle chatter. Rather would il

tions to the Peerless Princess on its
possession of so many and noble vir-
tues, as detailed by the Beacon. Any
