THE FAIR GROUNDS PARK.

| Nothing quite so attractive for the
| development and Improvement of To-
peka has been presented as the plans
which have been worked out by John
| p. Rogers, former city engineer and
| a candidate for one of the city COM
| missionerships, wherein he suggests
the creation of a park and pleasure
retreat out of the present fair grounds
after they have outlived their useful
| ness for exposition purposes.
If the state fair to be held here this
year is the success it promises to be
and should be. larger grounds will be
needed for the next one. In fact, there
has even been some talk of getting
new grounds for the location of the
fair this year. But when the fair is
finally moved from the existing
grounds they will have outlived their
usefulness for any purpose whatsoever,
except those of a park or to be cut up
into city blocks. These grounds be-
long to the county and when it comes
time for the county to dispose of them
in some way the city should buy them
at all costs and turn them into a park
as suggested by Mr.. Rogers.
Excellent as his suggestions are for
the laying out of such a park, it may
be possible to improve them and also
kill another bird with the same stone.
Some men in enthusiastically discuss
ing the prospects of turning the fair
grounds into a park, developed the
suggestion that perhaps it might be
better to provide the needed lakes by
damming up the fickIe Shunganunga
into a series of artificial lakes which
might be most serviceable in control
~
stream. More land than is now in the
fair grounds would be needed for this
purpose, but the land needed is the
chea pest in the county If this were
done the localities in the city which
are now subjected to the sudden floods
of the Shunganunga would have their
property values greatly enhanced.
With the needed lakes for boating
swimming and fishing. provided in this
fashion, the large space in the center
of the fair grounds which Mr. Rogers
SUGGESTS turning into a lake could be
devoted to free baseball diamonds
tennis courts and football fields, which
are part of the equipment of all of
the large public parks in the larger
cities of the country and which are
needed in this city if proper means for
recreation are to be afforded to the
youngsters.
1t would also be possible to build a
driveway along the lakes made out of
the Shunganunga. 1t could be made
a part of the boulevard scheme which
has been suggested to sweep around
the city to the south and west, take in
Cages park and continue on to the
river. All of these improvements
would cost money. but the city could
less of the price that would have to be
paid.

COUNTY BRIDGES.

Because of the ravages wrought on
bridges by the recent ice gorges in the
Kaw and an error of judgment on the
part of the last legislature, Shawnee
county is confronted with a serious
predicament. Under the laws as they
stood until the lawmakers of 1909 got
busy county commissioners were au-
thorized to expend in the repair of a
damaged bridge an amount of money
equal, if necessary, to the original cost
of the bridge. But the wise-heads IN
the last legislature got busy and sub
stituted this reasonable law with one
which limits county commissioners to
the spending of not more than $4,000
for the repairing of any one bridge.
So extensive was the damage done to
several of the large and costly bridges
in this county by the unusual ice foes
of a month ago that it will be impos-
sible for the county commissioners TO
put several of the bridges in proper re-
pair with the amount Of money the law
authorizes them to expend. There is
one loophole. The commissioners can
call a special election for the voting of
bonds to any amount desired for bridge
work. This is the very thing they
should do. They realize the necessity
for such action but are slow to take it
because the voting of bonds are not

TAFTS WAY.

So much unjust criticism has been
directed against President Taft of late
about his alleged prediction for TAX
ing things easy, for having little or no
backbone and for permitting crafty
politicians to impose on him that any
thing on the other side of the subject
ought to be welcomed by those who
are disposed to give the president
anything like a square deal. Some
thing of this order appeared in a re-
cent issue of the National Magazine.
1t is a pen picture of President Taft
and his methods of doing business and
was written by Joe Mitchell Chapelle.
An excerpt from it follows:
1.-The Taft plan is to hear both sides.
He insists upon why a thing should not
be done we'll as why it should be
done. Recognizing the hypocrisy of the
agitation of some radicals, he braves
even their Scorn to focus his efforts on
ultimate results, even seeking the aid
of confirmed reactionaries, who may
be under the suspicion of sympathizing
with predatory interests. His field
glass sweeps both TANKS of every po-
litical party. He has firmly determined
that his term of four years shall be
marked with specific legislation, no
matter how he may fare when it comes
to a denomination. He is aggressive
and amiable in carrying forward deter
mined legislation, regardless OF po-
litical maneuvers for convention dele
gates in 1872
This is a method of presidential pro-
cedure that i going tc get something
in the way of definite results. And
that ought to be far preferable to the
other kind where there is much shout
ing and tearing of hair, and calling of
hard names, without the accomplish
mcnt of anything of consequence.

! overly popular with the people OF any
community. The commissioners have
suggested that it would be desirable
for the people of the county to formally
petition them for the calling of such
an election. And while there is really
no actual necessity for the voters of
the county to make such a petition
they ought not to be slow in voicing
their sentiments in the premises.
The bridges across the Kaw that
have been built by this county were
among the community's most valuable
assets. They have played an important
part in its development. They will
continue to do so If those which have
been out out of order are rebuilt.
And the longer the delay in rebuilding
just so much will the growth of the
county and its prosperity be retarded.
1t will take a considerable sum of
money to rebuild these bridges in the
way they should be so that they will
be immune to the floods and ice of the
future. It is roughly estimated that
10000 would be required to do the
work and also construct two or three
new bridges which are sorely needed.
But Shawnee county can afford to
spend this sum of money, and twice as
much if needed, on such projects. Con-
sidering the wealth of the county, its
bonded debt of $4,000 is rather in
significant. Let there be a bond cleo
tion by all means to pave the way for
the rebuilding of these bridges. The
voters of the county have sense enough
to know that in voting such bonds they
will be making an investment that is
not only necessary but one that is OF
exceedingly great value.

THE GRE ATEST EXCELLENCE.
To him who strives comes the ques-
ton, when shall my work be well
done? What IS the difference between
the mediocre and the work which a
genius has fin'shed?'
These questions are never really an
SWered, but they foster a desire on the
part of the success seeker to toll for
triumph.
There is such thing as the great
est excellence but it is of the indi-
vidual, not of the mass. In fact, there
honor greater than his fellows; his ex-
cellence can only be in proportion to
what he himself is in mental or spir-
itual intellect.
Who, in your opinion, is the great
est writer that ever lived" is q fool
ish query often heard. What is more
absurd is that many endeavor to be
ready with an answer. Did one stop
to consider the hundreds and even
thousands of great men eulogized in
the pages of history, greater hesitancy
would be the result.

self. He cannot apply the excellence
of another to his own life. When will
