Merchants of East Sixth
Optimistic About Future
Many improvements Made Recently by Progressive Bust
Men in This Secton-Every Line of Mer-
o4eeS s-sz. gchandise Is Represented.

Optimism is the prevailing note in
the East Sixth street business district.
Confident of the stability of business
thru the trying period of reconstruc-
ton and firmly convinced of the de-
STABILITY of their locations, the merz
chants of this district have made
much progress in the last two years.
Improvements by painting. refinish-
ing interiors. and more pretentious eff
forts such as building new fronts. and
the installation of entire new stores.
have each added their attractive feat
lures in the general steps of progress
which have gone to make East Sixth
street, always a busy trading center.
an even more active commercial dis
trict.
Many Improvements Made.
Each improvements added to this
district has meant further improve
ments by other progressive merchants.
not to be outdone in efforts to make
their particular business homes SO at
tractive that customers would rather
trade there than go to any other
store.
The district is unique in that prac-
tically every line of merchandise is
available to custom ers in a variety OF
representative stores. There are cloth
ing stores that can entirely outfit men,
women and children. from shoes to
the very latest IN hats. Hardware.
drugs, groceries. bakery products,
flour and seeds, leather work, meats.
real estate and savings. are all among
the lines that are readily accessible to
customers with a minimum amount of
walking and practically no loss of
time.
There is probably no other district
in Topeka comprising SO small an ex-
tent of territory that contains within
it's bounds so large variety of bust :
ness houses representing @thes actual
necessities of life.
To a person whose time is limited,
and shopping time is more or less linn
tied with the majority of persons, it
is a distinct advantage to be able to
find all the daily necessities -purchas-
able in a small district requiring very
little walking back and forth. - This
time saving feature seems to be more
appreciated by persons from the coun-
try and rural districts than by their
urban friends.
A Busy Shopping Center.
While on busy shopping days park
ing space is at an absolute premium
on East Sixth street; it is not far to
other places to leave motor cars and

among the stores in search of their
needs.
Many of the store fronts are now
equal in attractiveness TO those found
in any part of the city. Display win
dows are more pleasingly arranged
than was the customary practice sew
eral years ago. The progressiveness
of each individual merchant has the
progressiveness of all other merchants
and the whole has combined to work
out a business policy that spells sue
cess for the future.

Albert l.. Johnson, nephew Of Cleve-

way as the husband of Peggy Marsh,
will have a chance to tell Magistrate
Coyrigan in West Side Court to-mor-
row his version of an early morning
rumpua that marred the peace of the
Great Northern Hotel, Tuesday. At
the instance of Miss Mary Daily, New
York representative Of Canadian
bureau, he was held in $500 bail for
examination on her complaint that he
kicked and cuffed her because she had
told the hotel management several
times that he and his wife and friends
were making too much noise in their
suite, which adjoins hers.
Peggy Marsh is the mother of a
fouryear-old boy in whose behalf she
recently claimed share in the mil
lions of the late Marshall Field.
Her suit was withdrawn when the
Field family decided not to contest
an agreement she had with Marshall
Fields grandson, the late Henry Field
for the support OF herself and her
child. She was secretly married to
Johnson on January s last, at Green
wich, Conn. and they have since made
their home at the Great Northern.

Fight Over Croker
Family Trust Fund
Brought to Trial
Sons Lawyer Contends That,
With Death of Mother, the
Father Was Barred From
Taking Revocation Action

The action OF Richard Croker ir. to
have judicial ruling as to whether
his father, the former Tammany leader.
had right to revoke a trust created
by Richard Croker sr. and his first
wife. the late Mrs. Elizabeth Croker,
for the benefit of their children, with
the exception OF Richard jr-, came 60
trial yesterday before Justice Davis
OF the Supreme Court.
Max D. Steuer, counsel FOR the son,
contended that with the death OF the
first Mrs. Croker Richard Croker ST.
was barred from revoking the trust.
Richard Croker jr. on the witness
stand identified a seLcer written by his
father in Ireland in 1916. In part, the
letter read: s'Since I came over here
| sent Florence daughter Of Richard
sr.l 100 pounds and paid bills of her
amounting to 233 pounds. She has, so
have been informed, been married to
Major Morris, though not in church.
I'm glad for one thing; she can't go
under the name of Croker any longer
She told so many lies over here that
she is not wanted here. understand
Tat they are now in England. I am
informed at that, that Major Morris Is
really very fine fellow
Mr. Croker testified that the trust
fund now amounts to more than $780,
600, to which might be added accumu-
lations Of s11,o00 He was not bene-
hciary of the trust, said the witness,
paying the income to his brother How
ard and his sisters Ethel and Mrs.
Florence c. Morris. He ceased making
these payments when his father in
structed him TO turn over to him all
the income with the exception Of
1856, which was to be paid annually
TO Mrs. Morris.
Mrs. Mary Croker, wife OF Richard
Croker jr., testified that she had never
heard her father-in-law complain about
her husbands management Of the trust
fund. On the contrary, said Mrs. Croker
when her husband wanted to withdraw
as trustee, his father urged him to con-
tinue his trusteeship, voicing his sat
isfaction over the funds increased
value while in the hands of his son.
The trial will be continued to-day.

EDITORIAL AIMS

No editor or publisher who has a modicum of common-sensc
complains because people criticize his paper. Quite the contrary
ne is ever ready to welcome suggestions. especially when they are
OF a constructive character, such as will enable him to improve
his work. The conscientious editor is his own severest critic
because he knows better than anybody else how faulty his work
is and how lar he constantly falls short Of his own aims. The first
purpose OF every editor is to make his paper measure tip to his
own ideas OF what it should be and this he never accomplshes nm
less he happens to be a man of the conceited sort who foolshlv
tanc1es that ne IS the embodiment of all wisdom and excellence
On this subject William Allen White. of the Fmporia Gazette has
in our own language and we quote from a recent issue of his pa
per as follows;
Never has a single issue of this paper been printed which
Ud not seem to the pub1Sher-and to most of the interested nen
and women, whose hard work makes the paper-rather below the
mark. Sometimes an artice-generaly one written by the boss
hmselt-fans far below the mark; for it is often hasty, sometimes
too harsh, and at times rather more brutal than IS necessary.
sometimes this color gets into the local end Of the paper-uncon-
sc1ously. Sometimes an advertisement appears which should NOT
appear. we have never printed a paper that satisfied the people
who issued it.
But on the whole, take one item with another. one page with
another, one day with another, and one year with another, we
are trying, with considerable sincerity, but with human imperfec-
ton, to tell the truth according to the ethics of the newspaper
profession; and never to be afraid or in the least reluctant to
correct an error, or freely to admit a wrong. We are glad to
reverse ourselves upon a showing of new facts. We have nc pol
icy today that we would not abandon tomorrow. if the facts
change upon which yesterdays stand was taken. We have not
the slightest desire to be either consisten or wise OF TO land an
the winning side. Often we take up a losing fight and are as
happy in defeat as in victory.
What chiefly we are aiming at is to reflect in good. simple
English the events OF the day in the light of such truth as Provi-
dence has given us, and to comment on the events of the dav as
candidly and as honestly and as Understandings as the good Lord
will let us.
After that there is a desire to be cheerful; to spread good
cheer; to let into the moment a laugh, when it will come in with
out coarseness or impudence, and to be as gay as is decent in a
dreary world"
