THE WATER RATEs.

This matter of establishing an equit-
able system OF water rates in Topeka
is a perplexing one under circum-
stances which prevail. There can be
no good objection to the contention
that the same proportionate rates for
water should be charged to every one
in town using the water supplied by
the city. This is no more than just.
But at the present time there are two
kinds of rates in the city-the flat ana
the metered rates-and there is nat
urally objection from those paying the
flat rates against the expense they
would be subjected to if they are COM
PEELED to install meters. On the other
hand the people who have gone to
this expense would suffer a dead loss
If the meter system were abolished and
flat rates for everyone were put In
operation again. Perhaps way out
of the dilemma would be found In
placing metered rates on all water
used in houses. and establishing low
flat rate for water used outside the
houses for sprinkling lawns and other
usages. Certainly under the present
meter rates it would be out of the
question for most people to use water
for their lawns. None but the very
rich could afford it.
1t is refreshing to see that the city
commissioners are giving the matter
their earnest attention and that they
have in mind a reduction of the rates.
This is something to which the people
are entitled, no matter how the rates
are levied. publicly owned utility,
like the water department, should not
be operated to make a large yearly
profit which can be turned into other
city channels. Instead of piling up
such a profit the water rates should
be reduced to the point where just
enough revenue will be obtained from
them to operate the water plant.
And another thing. There should
be no minimum monthly charge in
connection with metered rates. Or If
one is necessary it should be mater
tally lower than the 40 cents now
charged. No minimum rate of this
sort was charged by the privately
owned water company which operated
the plant here before the city took
charge. Unless it is absolutely nee
essary to support the water depart
ment a minimum charge is indefensi-
ble 1t does not appear to be neces-
sary for this purpose in light of the
profits which the water plant has been
making of late.

waving his hands in the or with the
palms up. The lobbyist laughs again.
shrugs his shoulders, draws a roll of
bills from his pocket, picks a bill out
Of the middle, pulls at it to make sure
that two haven't stuck together, and
throws it across the table. Tears came
into the other mans eyes but do not
prevent him from noting the denomi-
nation of the bill by sidelong glance.
He wrings the limp hand of the still
laughing lobbyist and shamhles out.
The lobbyist is really a good-natured
fellow. He recalls the beggar as a man
who once was fairly prominent in the
infantry following of the celebrated
black horse cavalry A friend who
has watched the transaction comes up.
"A touch, Bill?' Yes says the lobbyist.
I remember the first hundred I ever
give that Teller. He was so grateful
you'd we thought 1t was a thousand.
His bit was five hundred, but I didn't
want to spoil him, so I held out the
other four. Before he was through he
took all that was coming to him and
then some. But it never done him any
good, poor feller."

WOMEN IN TUBERCULOSIS WAR


What women have done in the last
tuberculosis, is discussed in an inter-
esting report issued recently by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis.
-Four years ago the only active wo-
men workers in the anti-tuberculoSis
movement were a little group of about
&c women's clubs. Today 100000 women
under the health department of the
General Federation of Women's clubs
In every state and territory of the Uni
ted States are banded together against
this disease, and more than 1000 clubs
are takino a special interest in the cru
SADIE. Not less than 100000 is raised
annually by them for tuberculosis work
besides millions that are secured
through their efforts in state and NUM-
cipal appropriations. Mrs. Rufus P.
Williams is the chairman of the de-
partment that directs this work.
In addition to the work of the Cen
eral Federation of Women's clubs, the
public health education committee of
the American Medical association, COM
posed largely of women physicians has
carried on an educational campaign OF
lectures during the past year in which
thousands have been reached. The
Mothers congress. the Young Wom-
ems Christian association, and many
| unattached clubs bring the number of
| men united in the tuberculosis war to
well over a million. There is not a
state in the Union where some work
has not been done.
Through the activity of women, sana-
toria and hospitals for the treatment of
tuberculosis have been erected; travel
| ing libraries have been circulated, post
ers, circulars and other kinds of litera-
| ture have been distributed to the mum
Der of millions of pieces; thousands OF
lectures have been given, large sums
of money have been secured, hundreds
of needy cases have been helped; tuber-
culosis work has been started in many
communities where no movement had
existed; and millions of women have
learned the dangers and methods 81
| prevention of tuberculosis.
The work of the women extends from
the drawing room of the rich to the
homes of the poor, and embraces al
classes, including the factory girl and
millionaire. During the coming year &
special campaign of lectures to womer
will be carried out in all parts of tn,

SOMETHING TO READ.

The brewers year book for 1910
was issued a few weeks ago, and re-
the literary editor of the Gazette, who
explained that he would write an ex-
haustive review of the magnificent vol
unle later. His object was to wait
until winter before reading the year
book. Such a work as that should not
be eiassed with light summer reading
1t should be reserved for the winter,
for the blazing hearth.
The literary editor looked forward
to the reading of the year book with
of anticipation has been ruined by the
brewers themselves They nave a
common human weakness They don't
know when to let well enough alone.
They have issued a supplement- TO the
year book, and threaten to issue fur
Their supplements, as new facts are
discovered, and new arguments occur
to their editors.
This foolish enterprise is a great dis
appointment to those who love art FOR
arts sake. The year book Is com,
plete and satisfactory work, giving all
the information about beer that a
thirsty man could reasonably ask, and
nothing should be added to 1t, and
nothing should be taken away. A
supplement to the year books is as in
Paradise Lost or an additional
twelve inches to a yard of Roses"
The literary editor has so lost inter-
est in the year book that he is using it
to prop open an Office window. and
when the cold weather comes he will
sit in the inglenook and read the Saw
buck acknowledgements Gazette.

SOME THINGS FOR THE LEGISLA-
TURE.
There are a number of things for the
common good that 1t appears to the
Telegram the next legislature should
do.
1t should adopt a state immigra-
ton commission law and arrange for
state immigration commissioner.
Pit should submit to the people a
constitutional amendment for state aid
to roads and bridges.
At should dignity the office of
servation commission, Kansas is one
Of only four states now without such
commission.
At should degnify the office of
state highway commissioner and state
forester by making them separate state
departments not amenable to any edu-
cational institution, and give them Of
fees in the state house at Topeka.
SIT should provide for state tuber-
cular hospital.
These are all important things, In
line with real conservation, with pub
keeping with legislation heretofore err
acted by most states of the union
