Among members OF the North To-
peka Civic club who will attend the
next meeting of the city planning
board to discuss plans for the con-
struction of another bridge across the
Kansas river VIII be V. f. Parkhurst.
Fred Buechner, z. 0. AIoFuS. D.
T Gabriel and ". H Thomas.
When the MeIan bridge was closed
for repairs last fall all traffic
across the river was forced to go over
the Sardou avenue bridge or the brick
yard bridge. neither one Of which is
strong enough for the traffic carried
OF between North and South Topeka.
Citizens of the North side realize how
business interests Of the whole city
would be handicapped If the main ar
terry OF communication between the
two sections Of the city should be
cIesed for any length OF time, and are
anxious to avoid such a contingency
by the building of another bridge
equally as strong as the present kan
sas avenue bridge. at some point to the
west OF Kansas avenue, preferably at
Topeka avenue.

The following editorial from the
Shawnee Chief of recent date concern
ing the North Topeka Community
house and the North Topeka Civic club
will meet with the hearty approval of
North side citizens who are Interested
in civic improvements in the First
ward.
The Community house is a compare
lively new thing here The purchase
OF the property by the Civic club was
Questioned. booted at, made sport OF,
and variousIy estimated by the people.
But in the few brief months Of its ex-
isteuce IL has become a feature of life
in Nerth Topeka 1t has made a rally
ing point for the live wires" OF the
North side; it has provided an open
forum for all who care to express
themselves; it has become a social
center in fact it has become an edu-
catfonal base in civics, in sanitation, in
home nursing, in domestic art The
press eagerly attend upon its acttv1-
ties and herald them The city dads
feel its influence, and the politicians
have learned to hover about the place
1t is now being beautified. and wired
for electricity 1t graceS the same
block that contains the new federal
building and the Masonic temple OF
this side. 1t will be seen.. it will be
heard from, and become an fucreas-
ing power in the life OF Topeka as
whole.
Out OF the pow-wows at the Com
munity house have come speed in the
realization OF the federal building;
recognition Of the water and sanitary
needs Of this section Of the city; the
creation of new paving districts; the
elimination Of the dangerous crossings
on the Calhoun Bluffs croad; the
probable settlement OF the conflict be-
tween Santa Fe and the Union Pacific
as to how to assesses the cost Of main
tenznce of a modern Semaphore sys-
TEN for the junction crossing. And
now the movement for another bridge
across the Eaw within the city limits;
the speedy fixing Of the North To-
peka leg OF the Lower Silver Lake
road. further repair OF the MeIan
bridge. etc.
The Civic club meetings at the Com
nunity house are a near approach to
the '-town meetings Of an earlier day.

Make Washington Safe for W..hingtonians.

There a man who fancied,

He would miss the engine by an inch

There was a man who fancied this,
ButAvthere isn't any more
Just newspaper doggereL alleged poetry. 1t is,
but did you ever realize that it is what the great
mass of the people read, and did you also realize
that this doggere newspaper verse, usually carries
and drives home wholesome moral and appeal
to the better part OF men2 1t does and does it in
the most effective way.
Monday started safety campaign in Wash
ngton. The Lord knows it is needed. The amount
of reckless driving this citys streets is still ap
palling though it has been lessened by the activity
of many agencies, the least of those being The
Herald.
1t would be mighty good thing If those who
drive would occasionally walk and have to
dodge driven by others, to streets trying
to look four ways at once and note the reckless
speed of most motor cars in turning corners from
streets to avenues, and vice versa.
1t would be almost if not quite equally helpful,
if those who have to walk could something's drive
and see how pedestrians fail to observe the
commonest rules Of caution; how children suddenly
appear in front of cars and experience the heart
stopping terror of even the careful driver. There
are two sides to most and this safety cam
paign aims to cover them BOTH
If Washington can be made to take this week
seriously much good will be done. But in the end
the effective remedy, especially for speeding
in the sections distant from business districts, will
be found to be the law, not exacng fines which to
most chronic speeders is but part of the game, but
period of thoughtful contemplation in the work
house. Make Washington safe for Washingtonians.

On the Subject of Shopping.

The great department stores Of the city and all
other shops big and little, ready to receive
Christmas gift purchasers. Their clerks on the
job, articles display, the prices arc right.
Reader, there only seventeen more shopping
days between and the holiday. Give TO your
friends and relatives and give until it hurts, the
President said about something else. If YOU have
not done your Christmas buying, do it now. For
the days will como when the stores will be so
thronged that you can hardly get around Already
they are we'll packed, but the sellers there in
numbers large and it is easy for trained statesmen
to handle half dozen purchasers at time.
Remember the poor, too and remember those who
arc not poor. 1t often has been said that persons
will buy better things to give away than they would
for themselves; this is right. Poor articles
should be given others 1t also is well to remem-
Der that wisdom should be used in selecting gifts.
Give not books to those who never read, and give
no drinking glasses that once were intended to hold
wine and strong drink to any one; for no one may
use them nowadays. To the poorer friends useful
gifts should be given, and to the more opulent
trinkets and things that come handy" such as
cigarette cases, opera glasses and canes can be
given. However, our last word is to give presents
to people, make others happy, cast your bred upon
the waters and think not that it will return after
many days. Do your Christmas shopping now, and
do not wait until the eleventh hour.

Strange, Passing Strange.

In the light of events, it seems passing strange
that there was time when the Democrats hoped, if
not expected, to win the last election the wet
issue More than that the Republicans feared this,
The resonant voice of the governor of New Jersey,
who at San Francisco, voted his State as "wet"
seems echo from the Dark Ages.
The Republicans at Chicago did not dare be
fish, flesh nor fowl even passable red herring on
this issue The Democrats wanted to be wet and
elected Mr.. Bryan almost unclean, because so
arid. Yet they took out in longing while hesitat-
ing to the point of inacton.
1t reads like fiction that in that period New
York, New Jersey, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts,
and other States reckoned at least in the
doubtful column because of unquenched thirst. Yet
that was fact 1t was believed that thousands upon
thousands of men would drown all other issues
in sloppy will and morals.
But Mr.. Bryan right and all the rest were
wrong He best knew the substantial character Of
the people They may grieve and mentally rebel at
prohibition. but they will not vote what is both
immoral and economic folly. To this extent he was
not politician for a politician never has courage
and seldom has that moral conscience which ,recog-
nizes that he is alone in its admirable possession

pital. slightly wounded. One thou
sand of his army refused to retreat
