NORTH SIDE NEWS
Families Are Moving Into the
First Ward.
Some of Them Come From
Other Cities.
AN OPTIMISTIC SPIRIT
Shown by Business Men and
Residents Here.
Improvements Attract Atten-
ton of People.

In today's paper mention is made of
several families moving to the North
side 1t will be noticed that some of
them are from out of the city. These
facts show that people are beginning
to have confidence in the future of the
North side and are preparing to make
their homes here.
It is not uncommon for people to
begin to move to the First ward at
this time of the year, but real estate
men say that there are more moving
over now than ever before at this
season. They also say that they have
been receiving more inquiries about
locations from people in the city and
from residents of other towns than has
ever been known before.
Among the business men and resi-
dents of this section of Topeka there
is more of an optimistic spirit than
has been felt for many years This is
evidenced by the Improvement which
his been made in the way of painting
and repairing of their stores and
homes.
And trade is increasing This morn
ing several North side merchants re-
ported that Saturday was their biggest
day for a long time.
In this connection a North side man
said today: This spring and summer
has witnessed a radical change both
materially and mentally on the North
side A spirit of cheerfulneSs and CO.
operation has grown which viii be of
great benefit to all concerned That
the bridge bonds were carried mainly
by the First ward voters shows how
much can be done by working togeth-
er. Truly in union there is strength
On all sides 1 hear expressions of con-
idence in the dikes- People are pre-
pairing to make their homes here per-
mannetly. And this spirit, together
with the numerous improvements go
ing on is attracting the attention of
the rest of the city toward US as we'll
as the interest of people who contem-
plate moving here from other places"

DO WOMEN MARRY FOR A HoMET

Do women marry for homes and for support?" The question follows naturally on President Taft's express ed wish that every woman were so situated that she did not think it was necessary for her to marry if she did not want to-" Interviews with repre- sentative women in The World reveal virtual agreement with Mir Taft's ideal of marriage, but a diversity of opinion regarding existing conditions of matrimony.
 Dr. Eugenia Handbook does not be- Iieve that 'any woman in America today is forced to marry for home and a provider" Mrs. Clarence Burns finds that among the poorer classes a great many do certainly get mar ried with the idea of having a home all of their own" Mrs. Raymond Rob ins thinks that "a great many women still marry for homes if not for sup port" desire for companionship in dUcing them to do so where actual poverty is not a factor. The great advantage enjoyed by self-supporting women, it is pointed out, is their ability to delay the choice of a hus- band until it represents their mature judgment. Miss NJ. Carey Thomas recently noted a similar disposition

THE .PRESIDEN- rnL JOURNEY,

According to the schedule President Taft will reach the end of his thirteer thousand mile journey through tke country today, when he arrives il Washington From start to finish nothing has occurred to interfere with the success of the trip and there has bee no startling incident connected with it. On one or two occasions suspicious cranks were temporarily taken in hand by the secret service men.
 The president during his long jour ney has learned much about the coun' try and seen much of its wonderful industries. In the northwest he saw wonderful progress and this feature marked his observations down through California and through the territories and the South
 In Arizona he was impressed with the magnificent resources of the ter ritory. He was told of the magnitude of our mineral industry, and of the future possibilities for reclaiming the richest agricultural lands to be found in the world by the development of water for irrigation by the govern ment, which has already been started with signal s"ecess at Roosevelt, where the reclamation department is just finishing a dam which will bring water to more than two hundred thou sand acres of fertile land.
 Other sites ior storing water in the territory are numerous and will make of Arizona an agricultural state when ever the government undertakes to build the required dams. On the Gila there are two excellent sites for stor- age reservoirs-at San Carlos and at Guthrie. At Charleston on the San Pedro in this county is another good site which has already received the attention of the reclamation depart ment to the extent of being survey ed.
 The president was deeply impress- ed with the opportunities of Arizona and was delighted with the high class citizenship which greeted him at Phoenix, Prescott and at the Grand Canyon, where he made stops, so much so, that he repeated the prom ise wherever h event that his influ- ence and support could be counted upon in the effort to be made next winter for statehood.
 As a result of his long trip through the country the president win be bet ter equipped for directing the gov ernmeRt and the departments which are closest to the people.
 Everybody will rejoice at the safe return of the president to Washing. ton. While there was no reason for real alarm from the time he left Bev- erly until he arrived at Washington today, still the loss of Lincoln, Gar. field and Mckinley has left some un. easiness with the people on occasions when the president is exposed to large crowds.

application to himself of the tradition al policy that the servants of the crown must be nonpartisan.
 The new chancellor's speeches on social questions while minister of the interior were liberal in tone This was particularly marked in an address in which he condemned certain aspects of morality in Berlin and defended warmly the need of the German work man of proper recreation. He has de- voted himself to improving the condi- ton of the artisan class. whereas al most all social legislation has been ap- piled mp to the present time to the working proletariat. As minister of the interior he distinguished himself by preparing an imperial insurance law and a law controlling n right of assemblage. both of which passed the reichstag. He possesses an excellent knowledge of the English language and is student of American affairs.

The law which was passed by the Legislature three years ago which pro vides for a commission government should be brought o~t and looked at carefully again by the citizens of Douglas. The mere mention of a com mission to have charge of the water department of the city was met with enthusiastic support by our citizens. Under the commission government a commission would have charge of the |entire city government, the city coun- cil appointing all other city officers and becoming directly responsible for every condition of the public service. The Internationa would be pleased to see the commission government law invoked by Douglas before the time arrives for tn" next city election. We believe it would result in a more per feet and a more economical govern ment of the city.

When the team work is completed on the Naco line the work will be started on the Doug. las line if it is to be built in the near future. A favorable indication for the Douglas line is the frequent appearance of the Southern Pacific surveyors in the vicinity of this city.
