roNIGHrs MEErING.

Every voter in Topeka who has the
best interests of his city at heart, as
all of them should, ought to make it
point to attend the mass meeting
which will be held at the auditorium
! tonight. 1t has been called by public
spirited citizens for the purpose of
organizing a non-partisan movement
for the esta blishment of the commits
sion form of government here in the
best possible fashion.
Great things are possible in the
placing of civic activities on a proper
footing under this modern method of
municipal rule, as has been evidenced
in nearly all of the cities which have
given 1t a trial. But these possibilities
cannot be accomplished by entrusting
the commission plan to other than
the most capable and efficient hands.
At tonights meeting there is going
to be no move to launch the candi-
dacies of any man or set of men or to
endorse the candidates. of any of the
many men already in the field for the
mayoralty and.the commissionerships.
This meeting will merely concern the
perfecting of an organization of citi-
zens with the object of securing the
services of the right kind of men to
run the city. Nor should it be con-
strued by any of the candidates now
in the field as a slap, even of the most
indirect sort. at them. All of them
are gentlemen of integrity and varied
attainments and It might be possible
to select a mayor and commission
from among them which would fill
the bill in every particular.
Too much care cannot be exercised,
however, in the selection of these Of
ficials AS the commission form of
government is essentially one of
business methods it would appear that
up-to-date and progressive business
men are the ones that would come
the nearer making the ideal commits
sioners. 1t is a pretty difficult task
to get such men to run for office.
Their lucrative businesses are grow
ing all the time and if they under
take the business of conducting a city
properly it is done at considerable
personal sacrifice. But those are the
kind of men that are wanted. Those
are the kind of men that the organi-
cation to be formed tonight will try
to get in the contest. Several such
men are already. in 1t, but there can
be no harm in numbers in this par
ticular. The larger the list the
greater will be the latitude given to
the voters in making their choices.
And so this citizens movement
which is going to be started on its
way tonight should receive all pos
sible encouragement. That can be
given by large attendance. 1t will
be. we'll worth everyone's while, too,
for among the speakers will be Mr..
Henry Allen of Wichita. He will have
something to say about the way the
commission form of government has
worked out in Wichita and will prob
ably have some good advice to give.
His speech will be an interesting one.
That can be counted on. All of his
speeches are.

RAILWAYS AND THE PUBLIC.

In a recent issue of the Railroad Age
Gazette is a symposium of the views of
many of the higher officials Of the lead
ing railroads of the country On the out
look in the railroad world for 1910. On
timism in respect to all features of the
railroad business is the underlying
sentiment in the great majority of
these views and it is the consensus of
opinion that an improvement in rail-
road affairs will continue steadily.
These views were obtained by the
journal in question in response to let
ters it sent out to the railroad officials
during the waning days of the old year.
A number of categorical questions We're
asked and among them was this one:
SIS local popular feeling in your ter
ritory more or less anti-railway and
anti-corporation than it was in last De-
cember? Chat would be December,
19OS.) Do you see signs of reaction to-
wards a kindlier feeling?''
A majority of the replies express the
opinion that popular feeling is swing
ing around to a less unfavorable atti-
tude towards railroads and corpora
tons in general. This is particularly
true in the east and south. Reports

from the officials of the western and
transcontinental lines are to the effect
that there is less change for the better
in this respect although conditions are
improving all the time.
These statements can be considered
as conservative of the conditions exist
ing and also as authoritative since no
men are closer to the pulse of the COM
munities in which they do business
than the wide-awake railway officials.
And that things are gradually working
out in this way means much to the rail-
roads as well as rejecting the good
sense of the people generally. It is safe
to say that much of the popular feeling
against the railroads in the past has
been stirred up by designing politicians
who have been grinding large size axes
Of their own on the side.
There is no doubt that the railroads
have been guilty in times past of in
fiicting many injustices on the people
in the way of unfair and discrimina-
tory rates and In variety of other
ways. Nor is there any doubt that
some such conditions prevail to lesser
extent in some parts of the country to-
day. Perhaps an outcry of clamorous
proportions was needed to bring the
railroads to their senses. And certain Ii
is that during the development of that
crusade considerable of injustice was
attempted against the railroads by I'M
thinking legislatures. But those times
are generally of the days that have
gone. Most Of the railroads have re-
formed their ways wondrously of late,
and there has been a corresponding re-
turn Of good feeling toward them on
the part of the public.
Adequate methods for a necessary
public control Of the railroads by the
federal government and by the states
have not been devised as yet. But
there is no need of a warning over them
on the part Of the public and the rail-
roads. In fact the better the feeling
that prevails between the railroads and
the people the easier it will be to hit
upon such measures as are necessary
to establish such q control AS far as
the federal legislation is concerned
many people think that it will be
brought about If the suggestions of
President Taft are followed. And no
serious protests from the railroads have
been levelled against them as yet.

YOUTHFUL INVENTORS.

Never in the history of the country
have so many boys and girls been in
terested in practical scientific and me-
chanica1 inventions and experiments,
writes F. w. Splint in the Van Norden
Magazine for February. From coast
to coast, from the Lakes to the Gulf,
come report of achievements that are
positively astounding.
The records of the patent Office
show that during the last year many
boys and girls, from IL to 20 years of
age, applied for and received letters
of patent on a variety of inventions
ranging from a corn-husker to a new
signalling device for which the young
inventor refused $4,000!
OF course, the early training that
the modern boy receives does much to
stimulate his inventive faculties. Man
ual training is now taught in many
schools and the boys and girls are en-
couraged to make tools and instru-
ments of which they may be in need.
Wireless telegraphy has hundreds of
devotees among the boys, but it is CIV
ing away to aeronautics, which has
such a hold on the Juvenile inventor
that a large club of juniors has been
organized for the purpose of further
ing the manufacture of miniature
aeroplanes and dirigibles.
Wonderful as is the record of these
boy inventors their sisters are not far
behind them in the exercise of their
inventive faculties. The compartment
tray for holding eggs safely while in
transit was invented by Ella Marsh,
the 15-year-old daughter of an Illinois
farmer. 1t proved so successful at
home that Mr.. Marsh realized its value
and had the idea patented for her. 1t
was then put on the market, with the
result that the girl made a consider
able sum of money.
Miss Sophie Heilbrun, a young wo-
man of 20 years, has patented a ma
chine which will open 400 letters a
minute. Some time ago she saw that
it required too much time and labor
to open the days mail. The present
machine is designed to obviate this,
and opens 10000 letters a day.
