WILL HELP PLAN THINGS

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Railway company, according to
an announcement from the office OF
President e. P. Ripley, will, through
its division superintendents, give
local public officials in Santa Fe
territory the benefit of its knowl-
edge and experience in matters per-
tanning to the construction Of build
ings, highways, bridges, sewers and
other work of that character, when
invited to do so. There will be no
charge for the service.
President Ripley takes the posi-
tion that the Santa Fee being heavy
taxpayer in every city and township
traversed by its lines, Is interested
in all public Improvements to the
extent of having the best work done
with the funds available. Many
townships and small cities in which
public improvements are contemplate
ed are not in position to engage for
their needs the high priced engi-
neering talent found on the mar
ket. To these localities the Santa
Fe suggests cooperation, and will,
upon request to superintendents,
furnish Information from compe-
tent engineers and architects re-
garding the work in hand. The
new policy is effective at once and
is one that will be greatly appre-
ciated by the territory along the
road.

TINE rEDKRAL RESERVE BOARD
The next important step IN the
inauguration OF the national cur
rency act viii be President wilson's
selection OF the federal reserve
board. Kansas city's capture OF one
OF the regional banks gives the oues-
ton OF these appointments more
than ordinary local interest.
Tremendous power and response
bility win be in the hands OF this
board. Very much OF the success OF
the new currency system. ct the
outset, will depend upon the char
acter and standing OF the men chos-
en-. John Shelton williams. by vir-
tue of his position as comptroller OF
the currency, will be one member;
Secretary McAdoo will be another;
no information has been vouchsafed
as TO the identity OF the other five.
President Wilson has had no
graver responsibility since he went
TO the head OF the government. II
will be much like appointing the
first supreme courts duty which
fell to George Washington after the
ratification Of the constitution. In
a sense, the board will be supreme
court in the realm OF banking. No
one else, of course, appreciates this
quite SO keenly as does
the president himself, and one may
readily credit the statement that ne
has given to these appointments as
painstaking attention as to any
which has confronted him as CHIEF
executive.
The country now awaits the an
Of these appointments.
II they are Of the right sort-and
there is general confidence that they
will be-their selection will go Tar
toward quieting whatever OF uneasi-
ness remains in business circles.

MExICo,s PROBLEM

The Mexican situation is becoming
acute. Huerta is a drunken fool
but he is shrewd enough to know
that his power Is nearly ended. The
chances are that he wishes to un-
load his troubles on the United
States and will with the money he
has taken from the banks and rich
Mexicans sail away to Spain or some
other parts unknown. It will not be
difficult for the United States to
take charge-the problem is what
to do after in control. Wilson has
undoubtedly tried his best to avoid
doing this. A country with 100000
whites, 100000 mixed bloods and
IA, 100000 Indians is not one than
can establish a permanent govern
ment in a day. 1t would have been
better had this country stood back
of the president of Mexico, no mat
ter who he might be, and help give
that time has passed
and now there is before President
Wilson the biggest task he has yet
met. His diplomacy" has not yet
shown very great measure OF vir-
ility or of strength. 1t is to be
hoped that the next steps will be
positive and really get somewhere.

Coming from an ex-congressman
of considerable pulchritude this
comment by c. F. Scott may be term
ed expert testimony: Congressman
Medley says that beautiful but
wicked women are constantly lying
in wait in Washington to ensnare
innocent and unsuspecting con-
gressmen in order to extort money
from them. That may be one of the
dangers to a handsome fellow like
Medley who looks as If he had loads
of money and was merely looking
for facilities to unload it; but the
average member needn't worry.

This from the State Journal Of
Saturday indicates that commission
government is not SO popular in To-
peka as it was: Topeka adopted
the commission plan of city govern
ment four years ago yesterday. To-
day was the first day any action
could legally be taken toward a
return to the old council system,
and one hundred men and women
are said to be out today over the
city circulating petitions asking the
mayor and city commissioners to
call a special election to vote on
whether or not the commission plan
shall be repudiated and the city re-
turn to the old way Of doing things"

Topeka reformers are queer
bunch. An unfortunate woman was
ON trial the other day and acquitted
but a minister jumps into print
complaining that her lawyer read to

the jury took the same view of a
