AUTO FIRE TRUCK
City Buys One for Use at
Headquarters.
Additional Motor Wagons Will
Be Purchased Soon.

The first fire apparatus with motive
power has been purchased by the city
Mayor Billiard has signed contract
with the Webb Motor Fire Apparatus
company of st. Louis for the purchase
of one motor combination hose and
chemical car. This new piece of fire
fighting apparatus will be delivered
to fire headquarters in about so days.
The new motor wagon will be used
at the headquarters engine house,
Seventh and Quincy streets. A motor
car for the chief of the department
will be purchased soon, and this also
will be placed at the No. 2 house.
Later the city intends to buy large
truck for use at No. 3 station.
Ultimately the fire horse in Topeka
will be a thing of the past. The move
taken by the mayor in signing a con-
tract for a new combination car is the
first sign of the new methods in fire
fighting. Chief Wilmarth has spent
several weeks in the investigation of
motor fire wagons and he reports sue
cess with them in other cities in the
country.

program of maintenance and expan-
sion, is much better for the country
as whole. than a policy which is
bound to result eventually in a lack
of facilities and all that the term i'm
plies.
THE situation is not unlike a quar-
rel between two friends-each of
whom Is willing to make up, but waits
for the other to speak first. Who bet
ter could act the part of peacemakers
than the distinguished governors who
have honored US with their presence
this evening? Who can estimate the
weight of influence exercised by such
a body of men and for such a pur-
pose? Let them send first, if they
please, for those who can speak for
the roads and ask them if the state
m ents have made concerning the sit
uation are true. If the answer is mo-
then I have been mistaken and my
fears are groundless. If the answer
is yes then I submit there is no
more important duty confronting a
chosen servant than that of inform
ing himself concerning all the facts
and then using such influence as he
may possess to bring about such an
understanding as Will allay the feeling
of doubt and uncertainty, which rests
upon the railroad managers today, and
which serves to chill initiative and dis
courage enterprise"

NO MONEY; NO PRAYER.
When One Does Not Pay He Does Not
Pray, Says Rev. Moses Breeze.

Kansas City, Dec. 9.-''When a per-
son can not pay, he does not pray"
said the Rev. Moses Breeze of New
York, special representative of the
Presbyterian board of foreign mis-
sions, addressing a meeting of Pres
byterian church officials here today.
The Rev. Mr.. Breeze has been styled
the Doctor Of Sick Churches" He
said that financial carelessness in the
churches and sometimes their inSolv-
ency, prevents many persons from
coming into close contact with the
spirit Of Christianity"
IF the average man did business
like the church does it he would go
bankrupt" he continued.
THAT fact is proof of the divinity
of the church, for if God did not have
a hand in it it surely would go broke.
I would not trust bank one month
if it had to have an oyster supper
every little while to. pay the cashier"

TRADE REMAINS GOOD
Recent Gains in Industries Are Being
Maintained.

New York, Dec. Or. C. Dun &
Company's Weekly Review of Trade
says:
Recent gains in the leading indus
tries and trades are maintained. Re-
tail trade, particularly for the holt
days, is expanded by the generally
favorable weather, but jobbing trade,
quieter.
The year draws to a close with steel
production at PittSburg equal to that
of any previous time this year, local
plants rolling plates and steel bars
operating IS per cent of capacity.

has been pronounced in all markets of
late, especially in foundry grades.

markets are still somewhat irregular

prices on by 4 bleached cottons is
announced and new business is broad
ening on these cloths. Export trade
with miscellaneous ports is still good.
In mems wear circles, leading mills
are we'll employed. Dress goods mills
making cream and coIored serges have
booked a good spring business, but

Hts WARNING NOTE.
President Of the B. & O. Sees
Prosperity Ahead.
He Fears the Railroads Cannot
Handle the Business.

Baltimore. Dec. 9.-That there is q
possibility that the next period of great
industrial activity in this country may
find the railroads utterly unable to
carry the greatly augmented burden I'M
posed upon them, and that their par
tial failure to meet the situation in
1906 and 1907 has furnished a sufficient
foretaste of what such a condition
would mean was the warning note sound
ed by President Daniel Willard of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, in an ad-
dress at a dinner here before the visit
ing governors and railroad officials.
Mr. Willard continued in part as fol-
lows:
To-day the presence of a surplus
above interest and dividend require
ments as the result of a years opera
ton is looked upon in many quarters
as evidence of such degree of pros
perity as to justify a reduction of rates
or an increase of wages, or both, and
it has come about that the railroad
is well nigh unable to effectively resist
either.
The capital requirements for the
next five years will not be less than
$500, 000,0 900 per year and we have
most excellent authority for believing
that they may approach the enormous
sum of $1,0O0,00O,0 per annun. The
roads at the present time is where and
by what means is to be obtained the
great amount of new capital needed to
provide the additional facilities and
new mileage necessary to properly
meet the requirements of growing
country-and when finally obtained,
how will the additional obligations for
interest or dividends be met? There
is little, If any ground, under existing
conditions, for hope of large reward
in connection with railroad invest
ments, and even the stability of mod
crate returns is frequently questioned
When the people decided to exercise
their right to regulate-hy law pro-
vided, they took upon themselves at
the same time the responsibility at
tending the exercise of that right.
There can be no evasion Of the respon-
sibility accompanying the exercise of
power.
Fairness the Remedy.
1.-The men in charge OF the railroad
nearly all worked their way up slowly
from the ranks. They appreciate fully
the opportunities afforded them by
their position to be useful to people
and communities served by the prop
critics with which they are connected.
But who can blame them=who can
criticise, If, in view of all have said,
they hesitate to recommend expendi-
lures which would add largely to capt.
tai liabilities, while feeling uncertain
about their ability to meet the in
creased charges? The remedy which
I have in mind rests Upon no other
foundation than the inherent fairness
of the American people.
The people, I believe, are begin
ming to recognize that II policy based
upon ample and efficient transporta-
ton facilities, with such rates and
conditions will permit the roads to
pursue liberal. but not extravagant

of society are due to their Efforts

FoTrth of July, the doing away with
Objectionable biIlboards and many
other improvements are directly trace

Work of Few Leaders.
This work has been done by a few
women. So also has the Equal Suf-
frage movement been brought about
by a few indominitable spirits, such as
Susan B. Anthony. Mary A. Livermore,
Frances E. Willard and fcore of 9TH
ers who have toiled for years in the
cause. Those leaders mentioned did
their work well and have gone to their
reward. but the work goes on. Rev
Anna H. Shaw, Miss Jane Adams and
a galaxy of others just as determined
and fearless are working for the cause
now.
