Messengers" Will Be Kept.

a second effort to bring the Nc
Kinney baby case to a new trial failed
in the second division of the shawnee
county district court this morning
when Judge A w. Dana overruled for
the second time motion to re-argue
the appeal of an application for a writ
of habeas corpus which had been re-
fused in the probate court of this
county several months ago.
For the first time in all the Court
proceedings relative to the custody of
the founding children taken from the
home of G. w. Mckinney, self styled
christian Messenger, Mrs. McF<in-
ney appeared in court this morning.
At former trials of the application she
had not appeared. various excuses for
her absence being offered at first At
the first trial in the district court. on
appeal, her husband refused to tes-
tify to where she was After the
trial she personally presented herself
to Judge Dana in his chambers.
Today Judge Dana, in overruling
the application for a new trial said:
Il have been convinced by the con-
duct of Mrs. Mckinney that she pur-
posely absented herself from the for
mer hearing because she wished to
avoid facing women witnesses from
Kansas City who were familiar with
her past record"
Mrs. Mckinney, who listened to this
statement, shook her head violently
Several months ago officers of the
Humane society started an invest1ga-

Topeka is a great corporation. II
is run by q board of directors of five
men, called commissioners. of whom
the president and general manager As
the mayor.
Every man and every woman in the
city is a stakeholder in the enterprise
and has a vote for its directors and
the general manager. Would any
company or corporation doing a bust
ness of over half a million dollars and
employing several hundred men
think of selecting for. its executive
head a man who had not put his good
money in the property of the COM
pany, who did not pay any levies or
assessments on its shares, who had
purchased no material interest in its
company, who had no experience in
the mana cement of men or of money
or one whose principal reason for
wanting the office of executive of this
great corporation. Topeka, as an
nounced by himself is:
Il am running for mayor primarily
because l believe if elected l can make
good; it will help me; give me recoe-
milton. additional prestige; did | not
believe | could help myself by being
mayor would not take the job
The above sentiment is from the
platform of one candidate
Would they select man without
experience in the executive manage
ment of even a much smaller business
than that conducted by Topeka?
On the contrary, would they not
choose man who had actual work
ing experience in city affairs, who
public affairs in the way of personal
work, such in the membership of
the Commercial club or upon public
welfare committees?

Topeka Capital, April 1st.

Mr. BlakeIy is a business man who
has made his way to success and who
entered the mayoralty race not because
he wanted an office but only on the
urgent pressure of men and women
who were not satisfied with the may
orally situation. Not only do his bust
ness experience and his relation to the
city as a taxpayer qualify him for the
responsible work of head of the city,
but he has served the city as a mem
Der of the council, becoming familiar
with its various departments and work.
Further than all that, we think it
just to Mr.. Blakely to say that there is
some obligation due to him from the
fact that in all the years he has lived
here he has freely given his time, his
energies and best thought and SYM
pathy, as we'll as generously of his
money, to every good thing in behalf
of the city. No man has been more de-
pendable more ready to respond to
every call the city made and for this
reason no man has been called on
oftener for free giving of time, money
and work.
When Mr.. Blakely entered the coun-
ell nearly ten years ago it was the out
come of his personal investigation of
sewer contract in which the contrac-
tors We're cheating the city Nobody
took any particular interest in the
fraud except Mr.. Blakely. He brought
it to the newspapers, got into the
ditch and measured the levels, agitated
the issue and refused to be silenced,
dragged others into the fight, made it
so hot that Mayor Green appointed
him councilman to carry it forward.
Mr.. Blakely's fight prevented a white
wash CT bad steal. Through his eff
forts the city got rid of an engineer
who soldiered on his job, and recover
either in collision with city employees,
or took advantage of the city's want
of vigilance in watching its contracts.
A good deal has been said of that
sewer fight, but not more than ought
to be said 1t still stands out as a fine
chapter of service to the city, sue
cessful piece of work without much
dea of ridicule, misrepresentation and
popular apathy. 1t sufficiently testi-
flies to the quality of Mr.. Blakelys cit
izenship and his nerve and persistence
in a good cause.
We support Mr.. Blakely's nominal
ton because We believe the kind Of
citizenship he has given this city for
over 20 years entities him to our sup
port at this time. He is we'll quail
fled by his business experience and
his interest in the city's welfare and
his active participation for many
years in public and semi public eff
forts for the city to fill the office of
mayor. AS to law enforcement, his
record and his sympathies go hand in
hand with his official duty. There
can be no doubt in the minds of any
one as to Mr.. Blakely's attitude on
this question.

British Wares,

An analysis OF government statistics made by
the Fabian Society shows that in the United King
dom there are 100000 persons whose incomes
exceed S35oo year; 4,5oo.ooo with incomes be-
tween $500 and S. 5oo and 100000 who receive
less than $500 annually 1t is calculated that the
average wage of the adult laboring man equals
$3.50 week, and of the adult woman worker but
SAYS weekly.
Since 1905 the purchasing power of pound
has declined to little more than half that is, S.
now goes no further than $2oS did in Great
Britain in 1895.
Out of national income of $I1,ooo 600 600.
something more than $1,000, 100000 is absorbed
in rent, S2,5oo,oooooo goes for interest, and
S2,75o,ooo,ooo for profits and salaries.
Peace has its tolls less than war, for in IoI,
there were 4So3 persons killed and 2aeo6I injured
in industrial accidents, with 62s cases of poison
and anthrax in factories, resulting in thirty-four

were brought into the place indicated
by me for their reception. They were,
of course. in a condition which COM
manded pity; such is the condition of
all soldiers who are captured and made
prisoners of war. Some of them were
so feeble that they could hardly walk.
Some of them were still suffering. their
wounds slowly healing. Eet 1 did not
hear a single word expressive of vim
dictiveness or resentment; not one SOL
dier complained. All realized that IL
they lacked substantial food that was
also the prevailing condition in the last
years of the war in the armies of the
Confederacy. All realized that their
capture and imprisonment were Incl
dents of the war. 1 was rejoiced at
this revelation of tolerance and pa
thence, and 1 realized at that time that
whatever political agitators might at
tempt to do for their selfish purposes
in stimulating hard feeling the soldiers
who fought. on either side felt no bit
terness and that it would make it all
the easier for perfect reconciliation ulti-
mately to be secured"
