CURE THE sHUNGANUNGA.

Favorable action would appear to be
the only kind the Shawnee county COM
missioners can take on the petitions 70
be presented to them for the establish
ment Of a drainage district on the east
side Of Topeka. Assuredly this is need
ed to cope with the flood situations
which develop in that section every
time the rain spills a little water into
Biddle creek and the hckle Shunga-
nunga. The people in that part of the
town have been harassed long enough
by the floods which almost overwhelm
them two and three times a year. The
time for action has arrived.
1t will cost money, much of 1t proba-
bly,, to make this part of the town
fiood-proof 1t will be money well
spent, however, and the property own
ers, who will have to foot the biggest
share of the bill, will have the value of
their possessions enhanced most mater
tally. The east side of Topeka would
be quite as desirable a residential sec
ton as any other part of the city if it
were not subjected to flood every
once in a while. These floods only last
a few hours to be sure, for when the
waters of the Shunganunga become

rise. But when they are up they get
high enough to fill the cellars OF the
homes with water and cover the
ground floors of the cottages, not built
on unusually high foundations, with
water and mud. And the damages done
by these floods to house-owners and
renters are far from being immaterial.
Many people who would be glad to
live on the east side of the city feel
compelled to forego their desires in this
particular just because Of these condi-
tions. In the northern section OF the
east side is by far the largest Industry
in the city, the Santa Fe shops. 1t Is
especially convenient for the shop men
and their families to make their homes
in this section of the city. But many
of them are compelled to give up this
convenience because they don't like the
idea of having to fight floods every
whip-stitch. Many other people besides
shop men make their homes in this ter
ritory and more would if these treach-
erous foods could be averted. They
can. The problem of Strengthening out
the Shunganunga or fixing it up in
some other way so that it can carry off
the waters dumped into it by heavy
rains is one that any competent engl-
neer or set of engineers can work out
And there should be no further delay

for the eradication of this evil. are

CHILDREN OF THE DESTITUTE.


Unintentional error was made in
these columns recently in discussions
of the problem concerning the care Of
the children of destitute parents in the
broad statement that once a child of
such parent was admitted to the
State Orphans home it was impossible
for the parent to recover the child
again in case fortune smiled more
kindly and the parent got in a position
to care for his or her children. AS has
been pointed out by Commissioner
Bowman of the state board of control
in his admirable letter on this subject
to the State Journal, the children adj
mitted to this home whose parents are
able to pay for a part of their keep
can be taken out by their parents any
time and children admitted to the
home whose parent or parents are alb
solutely destitute, and who are not
adopted out by the home. can be re-
claimed by their parents when they
get on their feet again.
But the important fact yet remains
and this was the point aimed at in the
previous discussions here, that If
destitute parent places children in the
state home, signing away all rights 20
them as has to be done, and the chill
dren are adopted out by the home,
then it is impossible for the parent
| ever to get the children back or find
| any trace of them unless through
merest chance or accident. Such a
condition of affairs ought not to pre-
vail. 1t seems inhuman and not in line
9Th the pretensions of civilization.
| There would appear to be but one
remedy. That would be to prevent the
adoption out of any children admitted
! to the home who have a parent alive,
and maintaining them as state charges
until they are old enough to shift for
themselves or help their parent keep
up a home, in case the parent does nor
get in position to take them from the
home before that time.
Suggestions were made in these COL
umns that perhaps it would be wise
charity for the state to allow deserv-
ing destitute parents a sum for the
support of each of their children not
in excess of the amount it would cost
the state each week to care for the
children in the orphans home. In this
way, a worthy. but poverty-stricken
mother could keep her little family to-
gether and do better by them than Il
is possible to do in any institution. Mr.
Bowman calls attention to the fact
that a Kansas law permits county
commissioners to do this very thing
And Mr.. Bowman says: IF the news
papers would agitate this matter, thu
county commissioners would wake ur
and become more humane and refuse
to any longer separate a worthy
mother from her children
Why wouldn't it be a good plan fol
the Kansas newspapers to start sucI
an agitation forthwith? They are
pretty strong when 1t comes to agitat
| ing, and especially the cause of theil
political friends. But here is mattel
which would appear to be more wortl
: while, one which would bring i'm
measurable happiness to many moth
err whom circumstances might other

. through life without her loved ones.
