A WOMEN'S CLUB.
IL Enters City Politics With Rules
and Regulations.

The Good Government club is now
in the thick of local city politics. This
organization will hold a meeting next
Thursday afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock
in the Y. w. C. A. building at which
time candidates for Office will be
quizzed by the women.
At meeting of the organization
held late Monday a platform was
adopted. 1t follows:
1. Inasmuch as Topeka has always
been noted as a city of homes. and
We have prided ourselves upon our
parks, lawns, wide streets, with wide
parkings. we believe that the greatest
asset, then, of Topeka Beautiful, is
that these lawns and parkings be kept
green in summer and this cannot be
done while water the most necessary
thing, is sold at the present rates.
Water rates are absolutely prohibit
tive of well kept lawns and parking.
The man who will buy hose ought to
be encouraged to use it. We therefore
declare for a reduced water rate
,. We will admit among ourselves
that the wind probably from over in
Nebraska does blow now and then
even in Topeka. 1t doesn't help the
opinion a visitor may have of us to be
met with perfect hurricane of dust
waste papers and refuse while trying
to do business on our main streets,
so we ask a more active street clean
ing force
for a municipal garbage plant. The
present system is to empty the can
into your yard and pick out, they
claim. that which is combustible. haul
it away and leave the litter for you
to clean up, and pay the bill regularly
at the end of the month. We believe
that we are now paying taxes enough
that we should have free collection of
garbage.
4. Realizing that our unlighted
state house grounds. Central park and
places of like nature furnish hiding
places for night providers and maraud-
ers, we have before petitioned our
mayor for better police protection
We ask this not alone for the protec-
ton of our women and girls. but for
the sake of the good name of our city.
Many things come to our knowledge
that are not made public. We feel
worth along this line and ask that we
have better police protection.
3. We believe that in w. E. Atchl- |
son we have a county attorney who is |
attending to the duties of his office |
in a most thorough and painstaking !
manner: and that in Sheriff l.. l.. !
Kiene we have another officer who will |
leave a record of integrity and hon
esty in the performance of duty that |
will be worthy of future emulation. |
Having faith in these officers, we do /
not hesitate to commend them and to-
ask that the officers of our city which |
work with them in the enforcement
of all laws and ordinances. We there
fore ask and feel that we may be '
granted better enforcement of all I
laws and ordinances, especially the
prohibitOry law.

liam Mead of Ware in Tertfordshire, England. who, on the authority of the headstone on his era,e appears to have lived 141 years.
 China has many centenarians and the statement of Dr. Thao-Chop who died after his arrival the other day in New YorI that he was 14O years old may no: be apocryphal. The death of q Chinese small farmer at Korti was recently announced in his one hundred and forty-fir year
 A Cornish beggar named Brown lived to be 120. Why not if as gossip has it his existence was en- tireIy free from care. and if, as an old popular song says. "Of all the trade going begging is the best?" A French rentenarian named Jean Frederic Waldeck died in 1876 at the age of 1O9.

Another picture which borders on the mysterious without any of the gruesome features that usually make up picture of mystery, is The Elixir of Youth" Powers comedy. To complete the trio of mysterious features on the Lions bill tonight. is the Woman of Mystery who slips in and out of the theater without anyone seeing her and sings.

One of the best pie lures, however. is the comedy bur lesQue from the Biograph studios, Cinderella and the BOob.' This is not only genuinely funny but is a well taken, well acted picture.

LONG LIVED MEN

Longevity is a subject the study of which has been too much neglected Most people have heard of old Parr," but even the facts of his life are not familiar to the general public. He was really far from be- ing the oldest of modern centenari- ans. He died in his one hundred and fifty-second year H. was twice married and was 12O when he took d second wife Until the age of 13o he was able to do his ordinary work. When he had reached tho mature age of 150 he went to London to see Charles I, but il appears that his rough treatment at court has tened his end.
 Long before the time when "Old Parr' flourished. there was Thomas Cain who, according to the parish records of St. Leonard's. Shoreditch. lived from the fourth gear of Richard IFS rule to the thirtieJh of EiZabeth's reign. His age is given as POT. Other persons more long-Eved than Parr were Henry Jenkins a Yorkshireman, who died it his one hundred and sixty ninth year. after a life of temperance and labor" William Edwards, q Welshmah. Whc died in l6S8 at tho age of 1G2, and Junaa Truxo. south Carolina negress who in spite of her love for drink lived to be 16o
 Indeed, women have rivaled men in longevity as is shown by the case of the gay Countess of Desmond who is credited with having once been Richards ITS partner in dance. She survived her husband. the Earl seventy years, anl a rhym- ing couplet informs an admiring world that

And in this case a decision as to which would be the best preceding, is difficult to make. Nevertheless he decides to take a long chance in dodg ing the hotel bill, and therein lies num- erous comedy situations which are well handled by Wm.
