GOODBYE TO TIN" BRIDGES
Dozen Old Bridges Give Way at
Same Time.
Shunganunga Creek Response
BILE for Most of Bridges.

The death knell of tin and wooden
| bridges in Topeka will be sounded TINS
evening when A. r. Young, city en-
gineer, completes his plans for oozen
and a half REINFORCED concrete struc-
lures over the streams inside the city
limits. The plans calling for an eXpen-
diture of more than s150,00o will mean
the renewal of practically every brldge
south of the Kansas river.
Fortunately for the city all OF To-
peka's old bridges began showing signs
of old age at the same time. Timbers
rotted, steel spans rusted and deterl-
grated, floors We're ruined and pillars
tcttered. 1t is admitted at the city nan
today that not one old tin or wooden
bridge in Topeka today is safe Toy
heavy traffic. The city officials sit i'll
constant fear that the giving away of ?
bridge will cost life and heavy finan-
clal loss.
The preparations for the bond issue
that will be submitted to the tax pay
ers began early this spring rs an
ncunced in the State Journal at that
time. Today the city engineer has COM
pleted his plans. The bond issue will
come up before the August primaries
save Money on New Bridges.
1t is estimated by w. C. Tandy, city
commissioner, A. r. Young, city en-
gineer, E. G. Gibson, assistant city en-
gineer and Cecil A. Forter, office en-
Sln6ff, Tie cOnCfSLe pEIuSSS III AO-
peka will pay for themselvt in few
years. In the first place the engineers
feel that the danger of lawsuits will
he worth the expenditure to the tax
payers. In the second place. the con-
slant repairing and ren1odeling of the
old structures will cost more in five
years than the construction of new
bridges.
The Shunganunga creek is the most
expensive stream of water in Kansas,
tically every bridge must be built over
III every instance must be widened. The
stroys the value of hundreds of lots
and eats away the support of many
bridges.
heavier loads in wagon and truck traf-
fic have added to the dangers of the old
hon and pile bridges in the city. Now
that the timbers in the wooden bridges
Rave outlived their usefulness, that the
tin structures are of old design and
weak and that it has been decided that
the water way is not sufficient, the ne
cessity of spending at least $3.50 900
stares the property owners of Topeka
in the face.
The larger bridges. to be renewed
are: Davies street (pile); Fourth street
pile); Lake street Cpile); Chandler
street (iron); Sixth street Cpilel;
Seventh street (pile): Eighth Street

grandparents and attempting to compare

they were about to travel to that in the
basin, James Mohler, the 6-year-old s"n

day afternoon. His life was saved by a
travelling man.
The little boy had gone to the station
with his mother, to bid his grandmother,
Mrs. J. c. McClintock. and his aunts, the
Misses McClintock, bon voyage on their
trip to Europe. He eIuded his mother and
grandparents and slipping over to the
park across from the depot, was enjoying

dreaming, he got seasick and toppled

was rescued by travelling salesman who
was waiting for a train. The rescuers

arrived just then and the man hurried
aboard, after turning the dripping boy

not the cause He vented one thing
he wanted the nomination. And yet
he did not have enough votes to NOM
mate himself upon any honest basis.
He did have enough delegates in that
convention ultimately to have nomina-

strong progressive platform. He could
even have nominated Hadley on such
a platform and progressive Republl-
cans could have supported Hadley in
much the same spirit as hundreds Of
thousands of them will now support
Wilson. Neither Hadley nor Wilson are
veterans in the progressive ranks.
Neither of them has been tried by the
severest tests. Both appear to be men
of high ideals whose records, though
short, give promise.
None But Himself.
But Roosevelt would not consider
Hadley He would have no one but
himself. At the first suggestion of
Hadley he ordered the third party
maneuvers, lest he lose his followers
eff he had the evidence to prove that
Taft could not be honestly and fairly
nominated, why did he not direct his
lieutenants to present that evidence 10

convention and the country so clearly
that the convention would not nave

could not, in honor, have accepted the
nomination, if made.
1.-The reason is obvious. An analysis
of the testimony will, am convinced
show that neither Taft nor Roosevelt

He Feared the Light.
This explains the extraordinary con-

upon such an analysis of the evidence
as would prove Taft's regularly elected
delegates in the minority, without in
evitably subjecting his own Spuriously
credentialed delegates to an examina-
ton so critical as would expose the
falsity of his own contention that he

the convention by storm.
That this is the true psychology Of
the Roosevelt proceedings becomes
