AT COPE'S MARKET TONIGHT
PEOPLE SHOULD VOTE.
advertise the City, says One of the
Candidates.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
The result of the primary election of
the 2Sth instant shows some peculiar
things. The city of Topeka has 5000
legal voters, 1881 were registered
and 9,448 votes were cast. In other
words, so per cent of the voters were
registered and only so per cent voted.
This is a discredit to the loyalty and
patriotism of our people. We are
starting a new system of city govern
ment, enlarged powers over the old
policies that have been considered set
tied may be overturned and the good
name of the city imperiled and there
fore it is the duty, the bounden duty,
of every voter to turn out next Tues
day and vote People as a whole favor
law and order. decency and good gov
eminent, but fail to manifest it at the
polls, where their opinions are made
effective We claim $4,000 people on
a basis of four persons to the vote. The
late vote would show that we had but
$1,000. If for no higher motive than
advertising purposes we should have a
larger vote. Yours,

EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON.

1 had my pencil all poised to make
crusade against posing of any kind,
good or bad, when someone presented
me with a new point of view
So instead of making the crusade
I'll just pass the point of view along
to you.
Isn't a good pose an attempt to live
towards ideal?
And isn't that a desirable thing?
Isn't it better to try to be some
thing fine that you are not than to be
satisfied with just being genuinely
what you are, however undesirable?
remember a girl who used to go
to school with me, who was much dis
liked by many of the girls because
she, as they put it, pretended to be
SO terribly good"
That meant that she was always ex-
tremely nice to the unpopular girls,
that she always wrote letters to and
went to call on anyone who was ill or
shut-in, frequently helped the extra
stupid girls with their lessons and
said all sorts of nice things about the
extra clever ones.
It's just pose" the people who
disliked her said. Marion likes to
patronfze people and have them al
ways thanking her and so she takes
this pose
Now all that may have been very
unjust. 1t may have been simply envy
of someone better than they. I'll ad-
NIT she sometimes struck me as too
good to be true. but l won't attempt
to judge as to Marion's genuineness.
But the point I want to make is
simply this: If it was a pose, wasn't it
worth while?
Didn't she deserve more credit for
posing than the girls who prided
themselves that they didn't pretend
to be angels like Marion but they
were genuine" did for being genuine?
There is a man in our office whose
pose is the cultured newspaper
man." In the pursuit of this pose he
says bin and ware" and "colyume."

but he takes care to dress in the best
of taste, tries to use perfect English
and grammar. cultivate good manners,
table and otherwise, never uses pro-
family and takes an interest in music
and art and such things that really
cultured people care about.
Since his pose makes him do
things that are good in themselves
isn't it a good thing that he poses?
Isn't his pose of culture decidedly
preferable to the genuine uncouthness
of some of those who make fun of
him for assuming a pose?
People say that if you tell a made
up story enough times you come to
believe it yourself.
If you hold a pose long enough you
are apt to grow into it so that it will
become natural and no longer a pose.
Considering that, don't you think
a good pose is a good thing?

board with a view of having the plant
furnish lights for these buildings and
in the meantime the committees were
given p"wer to switch the contracts for
lighting of these buildings to the Ke-
ncsha Electric Railway Company pro-
vided it was shown that saving could
be made by such change.
The question of providing aid for
sick and disabled fremen was brought
up by the committe on fire department,
the committee recommending that in
the future the salary of any fremen
disabled in service or sick be paid for
a term not to exceed four months with

council. The usual amount of routine
business was transacted after which

Annual Report of Business
Done by Post Offices Shows
No Change in Position
CROWD CLOSE ON SUPERIOR

Postmaster E. W. Reyes ofg&Tadi-
son Monday gave out his annual com
parative statement of the gross receipts
of the twenty principal postoffices in
Wisconsin during the last three years.
The statement shows an increase in
the total receipts of the twenty post
offices named, of $211, 290.92 during the
year 1909 as compared with 1908. No
better evidence of the general bust
ness prosperity which has been enjoy
ed everywhere throughout the state
during the last twelve months could
be had.
The Kenosha postofice remains in
ninth place but it is crowding Superior
hard for eighth place.
1t is significant fact, also, that
this year, for the first time since Judge
Reyes undertook the compilation of an
annual statement of this kind, several
years ago, every postofice in the list
shows a substantial gain. Following
is the table complied by Judge Keyes:

FOUND DEAD IN BED
Solomon Blandin, Old Resi-
dent of Salem, Died in His
Room at Silver Lake
WAS WIDELY KNOWN IN SALEM

Solomon Blandin, an old man widely
known in the town of Salem and other
portions of the western part of the
county was found dead in bed at his
room at Silver Lake Monday. The
old man had not been seen for sew
eral days and this morning residents
of the village went to his residence to
see what had happened to him and
found him dead. 1t is thought that
he had been dead since Saturday.
Clerk of the circuit court Frank Waldo
was called and he selected Jury to
investigate into the case. It is not
thought that BIandin met with foul
play, but it is thought that he died
from one Of the forms of heart disease.
The inquest over the remains will be
held by Justice Blum of. Salem late
this afternoon.
Solomon Blandin was quite a charac-
ter in the western part of the county.
He was little over sixty years of age
and he had been making his home in
this county for the past forty years.
He was bachelor and so far as is
known he had no relatives in the
county. Many years ago blow on
the blow left him simple minded and
since that time he had earned a liv-
ing by saving wood for the people in
the vicinity of the villages of Silver
Lake and Salem. The old man always
had a good reputation and he was
respected by the people of both COM
munities. 1t is thought that he had
saved up, considerable money as a re-
suit of his long years of labor and it
is thought that it is concealed in the
place where he had lived alone for
many years.

Property Owners to Make An
other Fight Againt Paying
for Market st., Paving
WILL ENJOIN CO. TREASURER.

The old fight in regard to the Mar
ket street pavement is to be re-opened
and attorneys have been employed to
enjoin the city and county from the
collection of the special assessments
made by the city for the work of paw
ing the street. Already three proper
ty owners have employed attorneys to
fight the collection of the assessments
and it is understood that others will
be brought into the case before the
action is started in court The com
plant in the case will be practically
a rehash of the suit brought some time
ago which was decided against the
property owners. Under the inter
probation of the new law by the su-
preme court it will be necessary for
the suits to be brought singly and At
torney r. V. Baker will bring all of
them. The allegation of the plaintiffs
in the suits will be the same in all
cases so that trial of one of them
will practically bring settlement of
all.
AS the matter stands at this time a
successful outcome of these suits would
result in the cost of the paving being
paid by the city as under recent rul-
ing Of the circuit court the city clerk
and mayor have issued the bonds for
the pavement of the street and these
bonds have been turned over to the
contractor in payment of the work and
he has disposed Of them to disinterest-
ed parties. 1t will be impossible for
the city to recall these bonds and
should the property owners be able to
prove that the paving was irregular
ly done or done in manner other than
provided by the contract the cost of
it would be charged up to the city.
The assessments for the work are a
part Of the tax roll for the present
year and the property owners in
terested have refused to pay these
assessments and the property will
be returned to the county treas
urer to be sold for taxes. Be
fore the date set for the sale the treas
urer will be enjoined and in this man
ner the matter will be brought before
the court.
Attorney Baker in speaking of the
matter this morning said: "I believe
that these property owners have a good
cause for action against the city under
the mixed up conditions of the Market
street paving and it is settled that we
will take one of these cases to the SUI
preme court for a test. There are al
ready three of the property owners who
have expressed desire to get into the
fight against the collection of the as
sessments and expect that there will
be others before the suits are started
in court
Several fundamental questions are to
be tried out in these cases and for this
reason the outcome of the suits will be
watched with interest by city officials
and others interested in public i'm
provements.
