THE CITY PRIMARY.

Altho it is very evident that despite
the choice of its political organization,
the Labor Union league, the organized
laboring men of the city failed to vote
solidly behind the endorsed candi-
dates. the results of the city primary
Monday threw into the race for final
vote next Tuesday, a good array of
candidates from which to select final
ly the occupants of the municipal jobs
for the next two years.
The union men of Topeka, of
course. cannot expect to control the
entire city ticket. On the other hand
the non-union voters are not entitled
to absolute power. The primary NOM
nations yesterday leave to the rank
and file voters of Topeka tn oppor-
tunity of choosing men representative
of both classes.
For mayor there is Tandy. endorsed
by the unions. Then there is Corwine,
not endorsed by union labor but evil
IDENTIFY well supported by union men
in the primary ballots. Neither of
these candidates "hoId a card" but
! they have the confidence of the men
who do. Also the confidence of the
men who don't.
For commissioner of finance there
is WATSON, another man outside the
! organization as a member, but inside
as friend. He is opposed by Wilson,
who is not supported by union labor
or union toll
For commissioner OF water and
1ic-h inld nd
a beautiful fight. Stanfield has re-
ceived the union pledge. He is a most
/ successful mechanic and an employer
of union labor. Shaw is at the pres
ent time superintendent of the city
water department.
For commissioner of streets there
is Garrett, a union member. He is
| opposed by Hancock, outside the labor
body but commanding a big vote and
confidence turnout the city, appar-
emily. His big primary vote would
indicate this.
For commissioner of parks and pub
lie buildings there is McGiffert, sol
der hero leading the field in the pri-
mary. He is non-union and is to be
] opposed in the election Tuesday by
Tresner, a union man, a most efficient
workman and a candidate who will
make a big showing.
1t will be seen that union labor is
gloriously represented on the ticket tc
be voted Tuesday-represent both in
favor and in fact. No matter how the
ballots run there is every reason tc
believe that the unions will have a
rightfuI hand in the management OF
city affairs for the next two years.

Reports from the peace conference
indicate that Germany will lose 49,
900 square miles OF territory and up
wards of 100000 of people, while
the Rhenish republic is to be set up
on the left bank of the Rhine as a
buffer state between Germany and the
French and Belgian industrial dis
tricts. More important still, Germany
is to lose the great iron deposits of
Lorraine and the coal districts of the
Saar, which means an enormous re-
duction of her economic resources.
Her army is to be restricted to a mere
constabulary of 100000 men subject
to twelve years enlistment, so that
she will be unable to build up huge
military machine as she did in the
days of Napoleon, who reduced her
army below the danger point, but
thru a system of short enlistments
Germany was able to train a huge
body of men. Foch has demanded
and will receive the greater part of
her merchant marine, for the tenn
porary use of the allies, at least She
heavy artillery and instruments of
war. and every bridge-head on the
Rhine is strongly guarded by allied
troops. 1t is being suggested that she
may refuse to sign, but whether she
do or not the result will be the same.

MEETING ALL REQUIREMENTS.

A great program of road building
thruout the country seems about to
be put in operation. Those who are
planning and promoting this work
should not fail to take into consider
alton the coming of the motor truck
or make provision for its require
ments.
For many years certain British rail-
ways have preferred to run vehicles
over highways into regions where
comparatively little business origi-
mates. rather than to construct and
operate branch railways. For some
time the engineering section of the
United States railroad administration
has been considering this subject. At
the January Is meeting of the New
York Railroad club. Charles a. Morse.
in charge of engineering and mainte-
nance i'll the railroad administration S
organization, indicated his belief that
under some conditions motor trucking
would answer all the purposes of a
branch line and save the railroad
company the almost invariable loss
which the operation of a branch en-
tails.
1t was pointed out by Mr.. Morse
that a branch railroad can often be
built at a lower cost than a highway
suitable for motor traffic, but this
branch can only be used by rolling
stock. The highway must be built
anyway. The economic problem is to
determine whether it is wise to put
enough money into the highway to
mage it fit for motor trucking, or
whether it is better to leave the road
fit only for light vehicular travel and
put money into a branch railroad for
the heavy freighting.
Mr.. Morse acknowledges that there
may be branches which should be
abandoned and their roadbeds turned
into highways. He points out that
long hauls by motor trucks may save
transfer charges and other expenses
which make branch lines improbable
to the company and the shipper alike
In short, he takes the position that tho
subject to study lis transportation as
a whole, and not the relative merits
of trucking and railway haulage as
unrelated, conflicting rivals.
It is refreshing, says the Engineer
ing News-Record, to have these COM
ments from an eminent railway engi
neer. It is gratifying to have another
dispassionate appeal for a comprehen
sive study of the economics of trans
portaion from the viewpoint of the
shipper and taxpayer and security
holder. The engineering features O.
both railroad and highway construc
ton are very simple. even elementary
compared with the economic problem:
which are presented by any real in.

When our wage-earners and sal
aried people begin to learn that saw
ings are profits ard that the process
of accommodating savings is substan-
TALLY the same as getting profits out
of a business, writes Carl Marshall in
the Thrift Magazine, we shall be on
the way to becoming a thrifty peo-
pie. But very few wage and salary
earners know this. Their mental
process IS to regard the pay checks as
profits, which is, of course, a mistake.
In the business of wage-earning. the
pay check is no more profits than is
the cash that comes over the counter
of a store or thru the receiving taller's
window at a bank. A wage-earner's
pay check is the gross receipts, and
his profits, if there be any. are found
by deducting from these gross receipts
whatever it costs to keep the wage
Garner going. In business there are
just two ways to increase profits: eth
er more money must come in over the
counter. or else less must be paid out
in keeping up the business. So with
the wage Garner, if he fail to save. he
must fit himself for better job. or
else lower his standard of living; there
is no other way.

Chairs might be divided into

in with deep content ard the
feeling that there is d kindly
upholding Of every part, such
as you might enjoy on a bed
of heather; and those you can't.
The chairs in The Little House
are as remarkable for this kind
of comfort as they are for
beauty of color and proportion
in fact, their perfect proper
tions have quite a lot to do with
the comfort. So has their up

stored purposely to feel, when
YOU sink into them, like soft,
beloved, well-cared-for old
chairs.
Their covering? Well, it may
be rare old needlework or vel
vet, or it may be some hne
modern reproduction, or merely
a quaint flowered black rep or
