Dr. Evei hardy says it will he several weeks before the thought of a general anti-hash Tho members of tho legislature who vote to cut out the weekly papers from taking contracts to do legal printing would do well con-Hidcr seriously what their acta will mean. The idea was concieved in the oflioo of a well known daily jjnp'r ant the plan if (tarried out means a bold piece of highway robbery, to the taxpayers. There is practically no competition in Leavenworth among the papers, except that the weekly papers have thus fas stood between the taxpayers and the avarice of the owners of the combine of morning and evening paper, in tho matter of public printing.

If the members of tho legislature from Leavenworth vote to deprive tho weekly papers of tho right to bid on and take contracts for public printing, it will betaken as connivance to defraud the public of any Bafegmrd whatever, and will give the daily combine a clear field in which to perpetrato any outrage it may deem proper. It will mean the political death of every member who votes in favor of it, for the weekly papers are becoming a power in local affairs, especially those which are not afraid to tell the truth about the grafters who are setting traps at all times to plunder the public and ran out any one who dares to try to prevent their nefarious work. Tim Union ha not made bids for any of the public printing because its editor has not felt that it had grown sufliciently strong to enter the lists in that regard, but nevertheless it sees the injustice of giving all the opportunities to do business, to the only only daily paper in the city. It is a scheme to legalize one of the worst monopolies ever attempted sn the state of Kansas and it ought to be beaten and stamped oat and killed ho dead that it never will be heard from again. strike.

DON'T MISS THE GREAT SALE At Kesnper The water company is leaving no stone unturned to carry every point which will guarantee it safety for the future in its efforts to continue the enjoyment of its immense profits from the taxpayers' plant. It has agents in Topeka, so well paid that there is no fear they will go astray and thy are watching every point.

Thin is evidenced by the following letter sent by Mr. Bird, Secretary of the State Municipal League Topeka, Kansas, January 14, 1903. Hon. J. I).

Ryan, Mayor Leavenworth, Kansas. Dear Sir In response to invitations to all cities of the first class, on yesterday, legislative committees responded from Atchison, and Fort Soott. These committees, in conjunction with the committee from Topeka, took up the bill prepared. On motion it was referred to a special committee with the object of striking out everything relating to the city ownership of water and other utility plants. Just when this committee will report, I do not know.

I am sorjy your city was not represented. If your city is interested in reflating these affair, YOU HAD BETTER APPEAR ON THE SOWN IS VERY SOON. Yours truly, W. A. S.

BIRD, Secretary Kansas Municipal League." Now what does this letter mean if it is not a timely warning of the approach of a very great danger Topeka is not the only place where the fixers" are at work trying to throttle tho will of tho people. They are hard at work in Leavenworth with a vigor inspired by the hope of aid from the legislature and the machinery of the courts, that they will succeed. Did it ever occur to you that the suit brought to enjoin the city from the issuing of the bonds voted for the building of the High School has a very important bearing upon this question of the city ownership of the water plant Is it certain that the bonds which figure in this injunction suit are not owned by a stockholder in the water company? If you are not certain just impure of the city treasurer who it was who collected the interest on the bonds for the last quarter. Do you Hee how it is working The water company did not dare to openly attack the issuance of the High School bonds, because that would have made its purpose too apparent. If a precedent can be established however, by some one not openly known to be in the interest of the water company, that the city cannot issue bonds for more indebtedness until the old bonds are paid, then it is eaHy sailing, for it can then say there cannot be a new debt created for the building or the purchase of a water plant until the old debt is paid.

The law applies to auy kind of debt. A suit to stop the issuance of the new bonds must be brought by dome one holding one of the old bonds, to show that he will be in-fared. It is generally believed that few persons outside of three interested in the success of the water company as against the people bold uny of those bonds. Another thing. Indebtedness has been created since those 1 879 bonds were issued, notably the gas well bonds, Soldiers' Home, Riverside shaft, Len T.

Smith railroad bonds and others and they are all valid and perfectly good. As a matter of fact it will be found that the law to prohibit the itv from creating a debt at any time is unconstitutional, as such a law takes away tho power of a firm to extend its business on credit in order to continue in business and be able thereby to meet former bligations.
