IN EIGHTH DISTRICT.

Down in the Eighth congressional
district Kansas is staging the only real
political fight in the state. Every
available speaker from Republican
and Democrat national headquarters
is being routed to Wichita for the
Ayres-Bird fight.
Congressman w. A. Ayres is the one
Democrat congressman now in Kansas
from this state. The district is nor
mally Republican by 5000 to 10000.
Recently the Republicans sent Roose-
Welt and Robins into the district to
separate Ayres from some of his sup
port. Now Governor Cox is carrying
the Democrat banner back TO the
voters. Next week Senator Harding is
going to Wichita to answer Cox. 1t is
battle royal in the district and the
states platform talent, including Sen
ators Curtis and Capper and Governor
Allen for the Republicans will be pit
ted against Sam Amidon, Jonathan
Davis. "Troniaw' Brown, Ed Murphy,

arise at any time. A big fire would
tax the present wells to their capac-
ity, an especially large one probably
necessitating pumping direct from the
river Topeka's health and immunity
from fire danger are at stake.
The most convincing argument for
filtration plant is the situation in the
| two Kansas Cities. Kansas City, Kan.
on one side of the Kaw, has a filtra-
ton plant and a good one. Kansas
City, Mo-, just across the river, has
, the settling basin system. Kansas
/ City, Kan, always has a supply of
clear, pure water. The Missouri me-
| tropolis is continually endangered by
the condition of the city water. When
break occurred at the Missouri cfty's
pumping station last spring, the water
was absolutely black and many indus
/ trial plants on the Missouri side had to
be supplied whitewater from the KAN
sas City. Kan. filtration plant.
The city government has hired ex-
/ pert engineers, who, after a thoro in
vestigation. urged a filtration plant for
! Topeka. The civic water committee
of the Chamber of Commerce, after
inspecting the reports of the engineers
and making private Investigations of
its own, formally approved the plan
, for a filtration plant. It is seen as the
| only adequate and permanent SOLUTION
to the city's water problem, and in the
end it will be the most economical.
| Topeka must have better water and
a sufficient and permanent supply of
water. A filtration plant will give it.

rHE FIIrRATIoN PLANT.

The proposition of whether or not
Topeka shall have a filtration Plant is
before the people of the city. They
will be asked to vote on a bond issue
of s535.OOO for the construction of a.
new water system and for the CONSOLE
dauon of the city water and light
plants at the November election.
Topeka needs a filtration plant.
Even critics of the filtration idea con-
cede that some remedy for the pres
ent critical water situation is needed
and needed badly. Filtration is recog-
nized as the most modern method of
water publication and. where a good
supply of water is available, as in To-
peka's case, he most logical method.
At present Topeka's maximum daily
water supply is four million gallons,
and usually runs several thousand
gallons under that figure. With a fill
tration plant. the daily production
would be ten million gallons. To-
peka's present water supply depends
entirely upon chemicals for purifica-
ton. The filtration plant offers sew
eral means Of publication. including
settling basins. airifiers and the filtra-
ton basins themselves. Between 9S
and 90 per cent of the bacteria in wa
ter is removed in the filter beds. &C

only will the filtration plant purify

No increase in taxation or special levy
will be needed to raise the bond issue
The revenue of the plant, with a pos
sible slight adjustment of rates. will
meet the bonds, according to water
experts. The filtration plant. it is es-
timated. will cut the cost OF produc.
ton to 2 cents per 1000 galloQs, and
the plant is expected to make a profit
of approximately $50, 900 a year. under

His M-ife,s Keeper.-a

He recognizes that it is his duty to
feed and clothe her, but only too often
he fails to perceive that he is Just as
much bound to provide for her spirit
ual needs as he is for her bodily ones
and that it is just as important to
protect her against the temptations
that beset her as it is to protect her
against the danger of cold and starYa-
ton and homelessness.
This duty of keeping the woman he
has married safe from harm lies all
the more heavily on a man because
the husband is usually older than the
wife, and he has necessarily seen much
mere of the world than she has. BY
observatidn. or experience. he knows
to what bitter ends so many pleasant
looking paths lead.
The man, for instance. who is mar
ried to a woman who must have some
man to lean upon, some man upon
whom to lavish her affections, some
man to pet and flatter her, is a fool
not to realize that If she cannot have
love honestly she will take it dishon-
estIy.
Nor is she any moro to be blamed
than the starving wretch who steals a
loaf of bread. II her husband would
keep her safe. he must give her the
tenderness that she is bound to have,
and that she will instinctively ask of
some other man if she is denied it at
home
Every day we meet gay and pleas
ure-seeking young wives going their
giddy ways alone. They are dancing.
and dining. and flirting with other
men, while their husbands are at their
( offices or their clubs.
| One wonders If these absent hus-
bands are voluntarily. qualifying as
/ first aids to a divorce. or whether they
are so besotted with vanity that they
think that no woman could ever pos
/ sibly cease to love them, and prefer
them above all other men. Also one
wonders how they can be so little
mindful of their duties towards the
! women they have sworn to love. honor
and protect
/ The husbands excuse is that his
wife loves society and he hates it. that
( she likes to go around at night and
! he Is tired and wants to be left in
/ peace. So he delegates his duty as
escort to some other man. Now no
man has a right to marry a human
butterfly without having made up his
mind to fit about with her from
/ flower to flower to at least a reason
able extent After that he might re-
strain her. but he has no right to turn
her into a grub entirely and stin less
right to let her SINCE her beautiful
wir gs against the bright lights as she
is sure to do if he is not there to pro-
teet her.
