No MARKET HOUSE BONDS.


The state Journal notices that the
city commission has a proposition be-
fore it to ask the taxpayers for $780,
600 in bonds to build and equip a
public market house and provide a
site therefor.
The State Journal is certainly OPP
posed to this proposition. Our taxes
are high enough without going to this
sort of an expense.
a good public market place can be
provided with practically no expense
What this city needs is to keep it's
taxes down, except for necessary i'm
provements- The high taxes form one
CT the items of the high cost of living.
It is suggested that a market place
would reduce the cost of living. Well,
perhaps it would. but we do not have
to vote 100000 in bonds to prove this.
Other cities are providing market
places without expense, and Topeka can
do the same.
A place can be arranged, say, in front
of the Auditorium, or by using the
area ways about the Auditorium ana
fire station, and farmers and hucksters
could back up their canopied wagons
to the curb stone, and people who de-
sire to ..go to market could go there
and be happy.
1t might be well to permit farmers
and dealers in butter and eggs and other
produce to sell on the streets or at
market place without a license, or if
there are certain privileges granted to
them at the market place, perhaps
they could pay a small license. That's
a matter of detail.
It might be a good idea to use the
section of Quincy street in front of
the Auditorium and close it between
Seventh and Eighth for certain hours
in the morning. and make that mar
ket place. We can have a market
place all right without spending $780,
600 for one.
No, don't vote bonds for a market
house. Topeka needs the money for
paving. for fine East side park. for
new metallic street signs and other
necessary things.

DHER Using TALKS
sY WILLIAM c. FREEMAN

1 reproduce here a letter received from
an osteopath in. Philadelphia, which
raises a very interesting point;
while not a patron of any advertising
medium I am much interested in the
subject, particularly in your Talks about
professional advertising.
"Osteopathy is where 1t is today sim
ply as the result of advertising, backed
by successful treatment. Now that we
have a start, associations are beginning
to follow the old school and a code OF
ethics that are ancient and worn out
To-day, in Philadelphia, man can
not be member of the Osteopathic as
sociation if he uses a newspaper as a
medium of advertisement. AS a former
newspaper man I believe this is a wrong
standard.
Il do not, of course, advocate the
blatant methods used by the clIre-alls.
but / do believe that a frank. honest
discussion in the paid columns of news
papers is a legitimate means of telling
people what professional men are &C
cOmpliShing.
One of the hardest things to accom-
plish is to get professional men to cut
loose from ethics. Organizations of pro-
fessional men do all they can to conceal
from one OF their number who may dare
to advertise all books, reports and every
thing that would increase his knowledge.
Good doctors good lawyers etc
should advertise to let the people know
to whom they can go with confidence.
Advertising Will kill off the quacks and
fakirs quicker than anything
The code of ethics that professional
men want to bind themselves to is one
that will not admit any man to a pro-
fession who Is not mentally equipped
a high degree and whose habits are be-
yond question.
Establish a code that will keep him out
If he does not advertise-but before he
can advertise he must qualify in the re-
spects referred to, and then the mere fact
that he advertises stamps him as o. X
Publicity is what the people want on
the part of professional men of ability
and character.

EVENING CHIT
Are you growing =?
BY RUTH CAMERON

Are you growing
OF course, don't mean growing physi-
cally. I mean are you developing in any
way, or are you standing still, or even
retrograding?
1t seems to me that is a question which
| each one of us ought to ask himself at
| least once year. And what better time
than this, the end of the first lap of the
New Year, to ask it?
I'll tell you what made me think of this
subject. college girl who had been
out of college ten years went to a re-
union At that reunion one of her class
mates who is a music teacher played a
piano solo. The first girl Is a teacher,
but she understands good deal about
music and she realized at once that her
classmate had improved to a wonderful
degree in her playing. And not only did
she play infinitely better than she had
during her college days. but even better
than she had three or even two years
ago.
Then the first girl said to herself
Gertrude has been growing every year
since she left college she hasn stood
still and rested on her laurels-a although
she has had plenty of them-one instant
am l doing that? Am L as much better.
as a teacher, than 1 was the first year
left college. as Gertrude is as a musician
Am I a better teacher now than was
two or three years ago?"
And after she had put this question she
wasn't at all sure what the answer ought
to be.
Are YOU growing? Are you developing
every year? Would anyone, who could
understand be able to see a distinct ad-
vance in your proficiency over your
standard of two or three years ago2
Are YOU, each year. a better teacher,
q more accurate proofreader, mere ef-
ficient business man, a more gripping
preacher?
Are you've saved this for a separate
paragraph. because I knew there would
be a large class of people who would
want to remind me that they did not need
my question, because they had neither
talent to develop, nor profession or bust
ness to master-are you each year a bet
ter ho1ne- naler, are you each year a
more livable member of society?
You, who follow that most humble and
vet most exalted profession OF home
making you whose talents are the talent Is
of the soul and character rather than of
the brain or fingers, remember that there
is Just as much technique in home-mak-
ing as there is in piano playing Remem-
Der that there are just as many grada-
tions Just as vast possibilities for de
veIopfng and improvement In the art OF
vableness as in the art of painting or
writing.
The greatest principle of life is per-
r1etuaI growth. When anything in the
Vegetable world ceases to grow it begins
To a certain extent this is true in the
material world also
So if you want to guard yourself and
vo117- powers from decay and decline, take
the only sure method-keep on growing
all the time.

says UNCLE CAV

He who is proud of inherited wealth
is proud of his own imbecility. Brains
are proud of nothing but virtue and
achievement. Brains know that there
is as much credit in being born to a
fortune as there is in being born with
harelip- Brains never go about in
dead mems shoes Boosting of their
foOtgear. They know that unearned
money is only another obligation to
make good and recognize as utterly
asinine idiOcy that tendency of the
pampered scions of sturdy sires to
brag about the money they have not
the strength to win nor the wit to
spend intelligently.
We don't care what you have, or
who you are, or whence you sprang.
We are not even greatly interested in
what you have done. What we do want
to know is: What are you doing?
Time was when the possession of
wealth and d family name justified in
public opinion a life of idIeness. That
time is gone. A wealthy parasite is
just vicious as a poverty stricken
parasite and by example a good deal
more dangerous. Also he is quite as
disreputable. The fact that you can
exist without labor doesn't justify you
in sliding through life without the re-
sponsibilities of manhood. The fact
that you are alive imposes upon you
the obligation to live-and while you
may exist without toll you can't live
without work.
The ability and the willingness to be
of service make the difference between
the man and the parasite. And there
was never enough wealth in the world,
from Midas to Rockefeller, nor a name
glorious enough, from the flush of the
first dawn to the setting of today's
sun, to make the one appear the
other.
If you have inherited wealth and
have proudly made it an excuse for
idleness, you have very little advan
tage over the imbecile who boasts that
he no longer goes barefoot. having
begged or stolen a dead mans shoes.

flood of "Reminiscences. many of
which will be found in another part Of
this paper. No man was more public
spirited. The older he grew in years,
the younger he appeared in spirit His
disposition was always lively He en-
joyed a joke and his face wrinkled in

occasion. He was never too tired to
trudge the streets of Topeka in the
interest of movement to promote
the welfare of the city he loved. His
which has come to the capital city,
and in the steps forward taken by the
city in its advancing welfare, Major
Anderson was generally in the van.
He did noble. unselfish, laborious,
successful work in alternating the suf-
fering in Topeka, due to the flood of
1908. and in the rescue work of those
direful days.
His name should be chiseled upon
the Melan Arch Bridge, the Auditor
ium, and in the pavements. These
and scores of other civic things are
monuments to Major Anderson, a
general passenger agent for three roads,
a brave soldier. a good postmaster, an
able secretary OF the Commercial club,
the leader of the Modocs, whose songs
were a surcease of sorrow and jubi-
liant notes for joy. Long will his mem
DRY be held dear by Topekans. Peace
