provemenr. I am for the south side
dixie want our business interests
protected. 1 have never opposed the
erection of the dixie nor has anybody
else The opposition is to the cost of
the dixie and not the dixie itself. The
question resolves itself into the simple
proposition of money Shall the city
pay large sum to be turned over for
the building of a levee, when for
much smaller sum a dixie which would
last forever and serve all purposes
could be built? 1 think not. 1 am in
office to protect the peoples money
and I am going to do it. The North
side has fine dixie. but il was built
at reasonable cost Now If such
dixie as North Topeka possesses can
be put up for fair figure, why in the
name of common sense and business,
should a vast amount of money be
expended on the like project for the
South side? There is no valid reason
for such action. AS a citizen I stand
ready at any and all times to do my
full duty by Topeka
I am for any and everything that
Will help our city both as property
owner and mayor. but 1 do not like TO
see money wasted. There is no sense
in paying a fancy price for a dixie when
one can be erected at a cost which Will
work no hardships."

GOV HUGHES FOR THE BENCH

President Taft never made a more
diplomatic appointment than when
ne named Governor Charles +.
Hughes for the position OF Associate
Justice of the United States and we
are OF the opinion that Governor
Hughes was never wiser than when
he accepted II. The position is in
keeping with his temperament and
disposition. He was on the eve OF a
battle royal" with the political
leaders Of his party and he lacked
the facility OF harmonizing conflict
ing interests.
AS TO the leaders in the political
camps, there is but little doubt that
they are having a regular "clog
dance" in celebration OF the event
They may have breakers ahead in
another direction. but they are look
