The national Republican convention today spent the hours from 10 to 13:45 o'clock in a Ljscussio'n of the plat form, which was finally adopted as al ready set forth in full in these dis patches. "The next business is the presenta tion of names of candidates for the office of president of the United States," said Chairman Lodge at 12:45, and there was a great cheer. "The clerk will call the roll." The clerk ran rapidly down the list of states and there was no response until Illinois was reached. Then Representative Boutell of Il linois stepped to the platform to nom inate Speaker Cannon. The enthu siastic cheers were quickly hushed as Mr. Boutell held up his hand for at tention and began his address. Just as Mr. Boutell commenced his address Chairman Lodge handed the gavel to Senator Heyburn, ot Idaho. The mention of the name of President Roosevelt by the speaker called out a burst of cheering which soon however, died away. The mention of the name of Cannon was the signal for an uprising of the Illinois delegation. They mounted their chairs for a few .seconds, cheered and sat down inside of a few seconds. Here and there throughout the hall a flag or handkerchief was raised, six or seven of the New York delegation joining in. Illinois cheered in loyal fashion, but its following was scant and the entire demonstration was over in two minutes. Crowd Shows Impatience. While Mr. Boutell was in the most Impassioned period of his speech the Taft and Fairbanks men who occupied peats almost at his feet were busy in preparing for their turn. They brought in bundles of small flags, dis tributing them throughout their own delegations and to all others who would agree to wave them at the critical time. The convention finally broke in on the speaker with cries of "time" and Chairman Lodge was compelled to In terpose with loud whacks of his gavel. Cries of "time" and "stop" continued and he hastened to conclude his ad dress. Illinois was up again as soon as Speaker Cannon was formally placed In nomination and Ohio and a few del egates from New Tork who paid to Hi -nols the tribute of cheers and the wav ing of their flags. The explosion of en thusiasm however lasted only about a minute. Representative Fordney of Mich igan, made the seconding speech of Speaker Cannon, taking the platform Immediately after Mr. Boutell had concluded his tribute to the candidate of Illinois, as "the strongest and bravest ally of President Roosevelt." Mr. Fordney's speech was brief, but he did not escape interruption by the exclamation of the galleries. Mr. Fordney concluded amid some ap plause. Silence soon was restored. Indiana Called. "Indiana," called the clerk and with an upshot of colored bunting the delegates of that state were on their feet with cheers for Vice President Fairbanks. The Connecticut delega tion lent practically all of the outside moral support that was given the Hooslers. Governor J. Frank Hanly of Indiana, who was to present the name of the vice president to the con vention, mounted the rostrum and was greeted by Chairman Lodge who asked what his name was. The gov ernor introduced himself and the chairman presented him to the con vention. Governor Hanly is a tail black haired, clean shaven man with a clear ringing voice. His delivery was de liberate and one word was well on its way before its successor was pro nounced. He drove home the points of his address by stabbing the air with the first finger of his right hand and by nervous sharp Jerks of his head. After Governor Hanly had been speaking 15 minutes, the gallery again grew restive and began to cry "Nom inate him name him." Chairman Lodge rapped for order and when it was restored the speaker resumed. The cries broke out afresh, five minutes later, but Governor Hanly paid no heed to them. Finally, however, Governor Hanly mm THURSDAY EVENING. rvi 1 Tlio Secretary ot War, Who Will turned to the noisest section of the gallery just back of the stage and shaking his finger in that direction shouted: "You keep quiet and I'll nom inate him when I get ready." A period of silence followed this, but the galleries were held in order only with difficulty. Hanly Had to Stop. Cries of "boo boo" came from sev eral sections of the hall and Governor Hanly had to cease speaking for some little time. One of the characteristics of his de livery was the constant clapping of one hand on the other. The crowd caught this up at last and every time the speaker's hands came together there was a resounding crash of hands all through the galleries. As Governor Hanly raised his right hand the crowd prepared and amid roars of cheers and applause continued its uproarious mimic of the speaker. "I will be heard." shouted Governor Hanly. "I demand protection," he ap pealed to the chairman. "I am doing the best I can," re plied Senator Lodge, as he pounded vociferously on the table. The official stenographer could not hear Governor Hanly and made his way to the stage to take a place im mediately at the speaker's side. Chair man Lodge went to the front of the platform, where he conferred with Ser- geant-at-arms Stone and then ne spoKe briefly and to the point, admonishing the people in the galleries that they were present as guests, adding: "A gentleman presenting the name of any candidate is entitled to as much time as he sees fit to use." He closed with the announcement that unless respectful attention was given the speakers, the police would be ordered to clear the gallery. A tremendous cheer broke from the delegates, the Ohio men leading in thu demonstration of approval by waving their hands wildly. When orr der was restored Governor Hanly resumed his address, turning first to the galleries which had so long itner fered with his speech, saying: Will Need Hlra in November. "You may not hear me now, but before November you will want to hear me and you will want to hear from Indiana." When Governor Hanly concluded his address by naming Mr. Fairbanks and declaring: "Nominate him and the victory in November will be ours," there was a demonstration in the Indiana delega tion in which several of the Ohio dele gates generally participated. Mayor Bookwalter, of Indianapolis, then made his way to the stage to sec ond the Fairbanks nomination. He spoke extemporaneously and in open ing made reference to the disorder that had marked the speech of Gov ernor Hanly. "It dawns upon me," he said, "that the slow movements of the road roller no longer satisfy the gentlemen in charge of this convention." There were some hisses at this and with livid face Senator Hemenway of the Indiana delegation jumped to his feet and turning toward the Ohio del egates across the aisle, he said: "Indiana has a right here Ml WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT. Be the Standard Bearer of the Republicans In the Campaign of 1908. Senator Beveridge reached up and putting a restraining hand on Hem enway'a arm, pulled him back to his seat. "In Indiana" resumed Mr. Book waiter, "we have only two things that hiss snakes and geese." Mayor Bookwalter then said the In diana delegation came into the con vention as Republicans from a state which has electoral votes to give to a Republican president, realizing that a large percentage of those who refuse to listen came from states that have never in 20 years done so, and never will unless they get a little political courage. "Mr. Fairbanks," he declared "was no reactionary, but still a con servative," and his record was such that it was not necessary for any ele ment in the party to be outraged by the insertion of a plank that will cure the errors in his record on any ques tion. "You gentlemen of Ohio," said the speaker, bending forward toward the Ohio delegation, "you've done us, and you've done things to us, but we will be for the tickets just the same." A volley of cheers followed this and the speaker, taking it for an inter ruption, said: "Bear with me for a minute. I am going to nominate the longest candi date in the shortest speech." New York Is Called. A roar of laughter and applause followed the remark and Mayor Book waiter after a few additional remarks. left the platform with a generous tribute of applause following him. When Mr. Bookwalter finished the call of the states was resumed and there was no response until New York was reached. Then General Stewart L. Woodford arose to nominate Governor Hughes. He was cheered lustily by members of the New York delegation in which several sections of the hall Joined. During the nominating speeches the Coliseum was filled from wall to wall, every aisle, all the stairs and entrances being packed to the utmost. So dense was the throng that the city building Inspector was compelled to issue an order forbidding any more people to enter the place. General Woodford was greeted in the most hearty manner as he descended from the rostrum. The delegation gave a few lusty cheers for Hughes and the Incident was closed. Hot words emphasized with menac ing gestures passed between ex-Governor Herrick of Ohio and Governor Hanly as the latter descended the steps from the platform to take his seat, after his much interrupted speech. Governor Hanly complained that he had not been treated right and to the disclaimer of responsibility by Mr.. Herrick. the governor was heard to ejaculate: "I can make it burn for you and I am going to do it." Mr. Bookwalter also complained of his treatment by the audience as he took his seat after seconding the Fair banks nomination. There was no seconding speech to Governor Hughes so the roll call was resumed. "North Dakota," called the clerk. "North Carolina," and then with ex tra emphasis: v "Ohio." v Tribute to Taft.' The response was electric. Ohio TO-PEKA, KANSAS, JUNE 18, 1908. gave a yell, the neighboring delega tions except Illinois and Indiana fol lowed and for a brief period the up roan was deafening. The galleries joined in with enthusiasm' and the cheers rang from one end to the other of the building. Among the spectators on the platform was Alice Longworth, who in company, with her husband, joined in the tribute to Sec retary Taft. She mixed her enthusl astic tribute, however, and waved a blue Knox banner instead of the little red badges bearing the name of Taft which, had been scattered through the hall, Back in the South Carolina delegation a little girl handsomely garbed in a light blue dress was held aloft.. She waved a small national flag with each hand and caused a re newed outburst of cheers. Representative Theodore Burton, of Cleveland, the chosen orator for Taft, went to the front of the platform in the midst of another wild demon stration from the Ohio delegation and their friends. Texas Trousers Raised. The scene continued undiminished in its fury. A large banner with Taffs portrait thereon was paraded through the aisles while the Texas trousers were raised on the top of a pole. Sev eral delegations. Including Missouri, Arkansas, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Virginia. Washington and Minnesota, lifted the state standards and started marching through the aisles. The demonstration grows more voci ferous having now lasted ten minutes. 2:56 p. m. Unabated the noise continues after 16 minutes duration. All the state standards finally joins in the march and the aisles were con gested with a wild cheering mass of delegates. The states in the march represented 33 states, with a total of 554 votes in the convention. 3:00 p. m. The demonstration has turned into one of song, singing various melodies in different parts of the hall. TRAINS ARE RUNNING. Are Back on Schedule Time Once More. All the railroads in Topeka are run ning trains on their regular schedules at the present time. The Union Pa cific road which has been experiencing the greatest trouble is now able to run trains from Armstrong to Denver. The washout just west of Topeka has been fixed up and the only place where the-trains can not run is the bridge over T the Kaw at Armstrong, which will have to have a new ap proach of about a thousand feet of piling. This will be completed in a few days. The Union Pacific plugs are running west from Armstrong while the through trains are run over the Santa Fe from Kansas City to Topeka, and continue west over the Union Pacific. The Rock Island Is In good shape to handle all its business, trains being run over the Santa Fe between here and Kansas City. The Santa-Fe open ed Its main line yesterday and the tracks which were well ballasted show but little effect from, the high water. Latest Portrait of President TODAY'S STATE JOURNAL Superb Associated Press Service Supremacy Evening Paper." Today's paper again demonstrates, beyond the possibility of a doubt, the great supremacy and superiority of the evening paper' as a newspaper of the people. Day after day the morn ing papers' reprint two-thirds of the news given by the evening papers the day before. Yesterday's State Journal In giving the proceedings of the Chicago conven tion, including the story of the marvel ous Roosevelt demonstration lasting forty-five minutes, showed this graphi cally. V Look at this evening's paper. It speaks for itself and for the wonderful Associated Press service coming into the State Journal office today and every day. Morning papers are all right and good in their way and we need them that is a -few people need them but everybody needs, and nearly everybody seems to read "The evening paper" The Topeka State Journal. STiii FALLING. Little Rain Is Reported in the Kaw Basin. The river conditions at Topeka have xonuofl to be the all absorbing topic as It Is well within its banks and falling slowly. At 8 o'clock this morning the river gauge recorded 15.9 feet of water, a fall of 18 inches during the 24 hours preceding that time and since the 8 o'clock measurement the govern ment weather bureau has not thought enough of the situation to take an other reading of the gauge. Several light showers have fallen In the Kaw watershed during the past 24 hours but the precipitation has not been sufficient to retard the rate of fall In the river at this point. The only precipitation during the past 24 hours In this district that Is worthy to be classed as a rain fell at Concordia and amounted to one and twenty-six hundredths inches. The government forecast indicates the proximity of rain and a likelihood of showers in this section of the state during the next 24 hours, as unsettled weather conditions prevail at the pres ent time. A stiff breeze has blown all day from the south at the rate of 25 miles an hour and this will have a splendid effect on the water soaked fields, for this is what the farmers refer to as a "drying day." While the temperatures are a number of de grees higher than those of the past week or ten days, they are about what should be expected at this season of the year, at any rate they are not above normal. The following table tells the story or tne temperatures in figures: 7 o'clock 75 XX V IV .....ox 8 o'clock .....77 9 o'clock .78 10 o'clock 80 12 o'clock .....82 1 o'clock 84 2 o'clock 85 Weather Indications. -Chicago, June 18.

Interesting Lecture on Mathematics by Miss Erne Graham. wOf uncommon interest, both to members of the teacher's, profession and the laity, was the lecture given by Miss Effie Graham before the 'county teaehers'; institute at the high school auditorium Wednesday morning on the subject of "Living Arithmetic." You may think. If you didn't hear Miss Graham, that "figgers" couldn't be interesting to anybody except a mathematician, but although Miss Graham has a natural genius for "math," the science Is so' real to her that she can make It real to people to whom the subject has always been as dry as dust, and who have forgot ten what little they ever knew about the binomial theorem and the square of the hypoteneuse. Miss Graham's lecture treats of the origin and de velopment of arithmetic applied to the vitalizing of its present day teaching. It is illustrated with more than forty lantern slides prepared by the lectur er. The humorous side of the history of mathematics is illustrated by origin al sketches and the tables and other technical illustrations are all original. The entire conception Is novel and the lecture is entertaining throughout. Present day problems of arithmetic are compared with the old time prob lem, showing the close relation of the history of arithmetic to social and po litical history and illustrating the lec turer's interesting theory of mathe matics as a living science, developing with the race and reflecting the changing aspects of human life al most as vividly as the arts. The lec ture might wel Ibe given the subtitle "The Romance of Mathematics." Miss Graham is the head of the department of mathematics at the high school and Is an officer of the Kansas Society of Mathematics. She Is one of the cleverest women in Kan sas and is an unusually facile and en tertaining public speaker. CHOIR OF 100 VOICES. Sings at Opening of Internationa Sunday School Convention. Louisville, Ky., June 18. The twelfth tri-ennial convention of the International Sunday School associa tion opened here today.. The exercises were opened with a memorial service for the late Rev. John D. Potts, for mer head of the international lesson committee. The singing was led by a choir of 100 voices directed by the Rev. E. O. Excell, of Chicago. The real business of the convention will be gotten under way Friday. MONAGHAJf MOVES UP. Topeka Man Appointed Fuel Inspect or for Santa Fe. Martin M.

These chairs are now enroute-.to Denver and will be receiv ed early next week. NEW YORK ATTACKED. Invaders Win an Advantage m BtffznJo Warfare. New York. June 18. The "attack upon New York city by- a supposed foreign enemy which has been so eagerly awaited for several days by the regular and national guard troops engaged In mimic warfare in the forts was begun in earnest today. The first onslaught brought partial victory to the Invaders, who fell upon Fort Han cock at Sandy Hook by sea and forced that stronghold to capitulate almost before a snot naa Deen nrea. men, with the outer fortifications effectually silenced the "enemy's fleet" started up the channel toward the city In the face of a withering fire from Forts Hamil ton and Wadsworth. The great ten and twelve inch guns at the forts opened fire while the fleet was miles away, and an Imagin ary storm of shells went sweeping down the bay. In the vicinity of the forts the din was terrific and even miles away the roar -of the great guns could be heard. It was at the very height of this warlike storm that hundreds of Immi grants got their first sight of this western land from a big Cunard steamer that steamed up the bay. As she came within sight of the forts her decks were swarming with passengers, who looked and wondered at the demonstration, which they might easi ly think was intended for them tVone. Many Lines Used Santa Fe. What Is said to be a record break er in the handling of foreign trains, is reported by the Santa Fe for Tues day. In r the territory which was af fected by the high waters the Santa Fe lines were used for forty-one for eign trains. The Chicago Alton. Burlington, Wabash, Rock Island and Union Pacific were detourlng ovec the Santa Fe on this date.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUttllAIrTIIUBSDAY EYHPIKO, JTJ1T2 13, ljZX HELD THEM SAFE. Hagerman Too Much for the Oklanomans Had No Difficulty in Shutting Them Out. ONLY A SINGLE SCORE. Was All That Topeka Conld Do. That Toung Mr. Folbre Gave Good Account of Himself- Too much Hagerman! This alone tells the story of yester day's Fame, of how the haughty ath letes from the metropolis of the Soonei state fell prey to the Cooley tribe for the first time this season, and of, how the Oklahoma City hoodoo was cast to the four winds. Folbre's Wonderful Gyrations. Mr. Zarah Zacharlah Hagerman, the tall and youthful slabman of the To peka pennant chasers was very much in evidence in the closing epoch of the series Just passed. The tall lad had everything his way. But four stingy singles scattered like the Foraker vo.cs at the Chicago convention, were se cured from the delivery he offered for the Mets' solution. Only two men were left on base and for the nine innings of the affray not a man saw second T-firn Higg9Tir"" was a steady -as "an Elgin" with a 21 jewel movement and only-one pass-to 'iflrst'oosed -from his delivery. He hit1 Kelsey- on the hand at one time but bKtflsey i is partly to blame as it is an oW trick of his. IWhen Sylvester Olson Got One in Uis Solar Plexus. r ioi mucn Demna Hagerman was Patricius Folbre, a youngster late from the wilds of Arkansas. The little south paw had things all his own way in Da.c mo mim inning, xae allowed tne same number of hits as Hagerman but was unnerved in the third act and three of the hits were bunched. Folbre is one of the best pitchers seen in To peka tms season and a little exrjeri nee,, coupled with the assortment has, will make him a valuable man. he The Arxansaw Kia nas a delivery which re sembles- a Dutch windmill and aeriai gyrations amused the fans con siderably. aiih enure same was just such a one as the fans like to witness. The home boys played in grand form all the way through. It was the kind of game that is spiced with ginger and pepper. Every one was In the samn w the time and. two fast doubles pulled the home team out of danger at criti cal times. The new arrangement look ed mighty good to the local fans. Kahl had only two chances at third but he handled tnese in good style and formed very gracefully, like one who had always played there. And Emory Olson! The little Swede lust looked swell back at his home on second hasv Emory looks like a lost child at third but at second no one could look better. Cooley was out on account of the malice of the league's head, but Walter Bol.ts took his place and performed credita bly. And now for the game.

Umpire Alloway- gave., a good exhibition of how to run a game yes terday. He hurried the players all the way through, and the game was played In lers than an hour and a half Fast playing Is what the fans like and if the players will hurry it makes the game much more popular. Once when Emory and McCormlck were loafing on a foul just outside the line Alloway called to them and hur ried them up. Folbre did not seem to have the left hand hitters on his staff yester day. -Both Landreth and Wooley hit safely and Folbre was sufficiently alarmed to walk them in close places. Running bases was poor business I yesterday. Both Kelsey and Brennan had .their arms in fine condition and not a base was stolen. The Mets have a kick to register and no one can blame them. Last night the team left for Webb City for four games. Before coming to To-' peka the Mets were in Joplin. eight j miles from Webb City and are now i going back over the same route, when the transportation could have been saved at least one way.

When the Met were in the mining burg Ragan worked the old trick of hiding the pail on Kelsey. "Wonder if Cooley cussed the um pire." This is the heading the Okla homa City Times gave the write-up of last Monday's game. For the benefit of the Times it might be said that Cooley did not and we can also edify the Times, by stating that the Mets did not try to pulverize the umpire either. as they did on their former appear ance in Topeka. The Mets are im proving In their demeanor. Webb City has a new pitcher in the person of Dickinson, a star from the University of Chicago. Dickinson is both an outfielder and a slab per former ana Milton will give him a thorough tryout in either place.

The State Journal la a member of the AmnfiatA Prase and receive the fuH nay telegraph report of that great new or ganisation ror tne xcjubot pobllcatlon In Topeka. The newa la received in The State Jour nal building over wires for thla sole pur pose. HOME NEWS WHILE AWAT. Subscribers of the State Journal away during the summer may have the paper mailed regularly each day to any address at the rate of ten centa m week or thirty cents a month (by mail only.) Address changed as often aa desired. While out of town the State Journal win be to you like a dally letter from home. Advance payment Is requested on these short time subscriptions, to save bookkeeping expenses. That report that Chairman Bur rows speech would be short was something of a bluff. Mr. Coburn ought to invite Jere Wilson to visit Kansas now. He might get eome new ideas on the semlarid region of the United States. The Kansas wheat harvest would be In full blast if it were not for the wet weather. It Is better to have it that way than to have no wheat to harvest. Mr. Dolliver must believe that the old theory that the position of vice president puts a politician on the shelf still holds good and he doesn't want to be put there yet. The next Kansas legislature will be relieved of the most strenuous part of Its duties the choice of a United States senator. The people will do that themselves this year for the first time. The Standard Oil -company has been convicted in the federal court at Ro chester, New York, for violating the antitrust laws. It seems that the anarchist courts" are not confined to the west ater all. Secretary of State C. E. Denton finds that nearly all the nominating petitions filed in his office are faulty. Mr. Denton Is showing a commendable degree of fairness in announcing the fact in time for the candidates to have the errors rectified. New York sports are in great straits. They will no longer be per mitted to gamble at the race tracks. But there is still a chance for them, for no steps have yet been- taken to carry the antigambling campaign into Wall street. One of the first motions in the Chi cago convention was made by a Kan san. Senator Chester I. Long. As it was merely a routine matter it isn't likely that William Allen White will charge that It was in the interest of Wall street. No doubt the numerous doorkeepers and sergeants-at-arms appointed from Kansas were largely responsible for the good order and decorum at the Republican national convention. Of course they didn't want to stop the Roosevelt demonstration. It is pretty plain that' the city council of Wichita wants the saloons opened but before It does anything more the members ought at least to consult Attorney General Fred S. Jackson. He might be able to give them some valuable pointers. Bishop Muldoon, who was assigned the task of offering the opening prayer at the Chicago convention, probably gave more satisfaction when he simply repeated the Lord's prayer than if he had spent ten minutes imploring divine aid xor tne delegates. That crusade against Sunday thea ters in Kansas City, Mo., which was started some time ago by a 1uds-e riamedWallace has smothered down to a fizzle. 80 does every other reform or crusade that is established with the great fanfare of trumpets that this one was. It kept the theaters closed while the Judge was ordering the man agers, employes and actors arrested, but that was all it accomplished. A very small number of those arrested have been convicted, and only recent ly 28 cases growing out of arrests of managers and employes were thrown out of the trial courts for lack of evi dence. From the way things are turn ing out, it is not likely that Judge Wallace's spectacular stunt will .help him much in his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for the office of governor of Missouri. Borne people say that this gubernatorial bug of his is the real reason for the Sunday thea ter crusade. He wanted to let the peo ple know that there was such an ln dividual on earth as himself. Ho want ed to get Into the limelight. And he did, but the light has developed Into such a peculiar one that it will proba bly have Che effect of a boomerang on his chances for political preferment at 3b hands of the people. WTTJLIAM H. TAFT. The nomination of William H. Taft by the -Republican national convention at Chicago was not unexpected. It is the logical result of the situation for he is pledged to the policies that have made the administration of President Roosevelt popular with the people of the United States. It will probably be. said that the Taft personality is responsible for his overpowering victory and the tremen dous enthusiasm which his nomina tion today engendered. Still it must be acknowledged that if he had not received the endorsement of the pres ident and had not pledged himself to the Roosevelt theories of government the result at Chicago might have been different. The people of the country and the sentiment is not confined to members of the Republican party by any means believe in President Roosevelt, they approve his manly courage and his stand for a pure democracy where no individual Is- any greater In the eyes of the law than any other Individ ual. They have felt that the reins of government are in safe hands and are reluctant to give them over to anoth er. When the Republican voters be came convinced that Secretary Taft more nearly approaches the presiden tial standard set by Theodore Roose velt than does any other man, they turned to him with a unanimity Jhat disconcerted his opponents. His vic tory wu swift and sure. Taft is generally liked by Kansas and the country, because of his own individuality and views, and be cause Roosevelt admires him and has Implicit confidence In him. Taft has a very interesting per sonality of his own. While he is an enthusiastic supporter of the Roose velt policies, it must be remembered that he shaped, modified and even in stituted, some of these very policies for his chief. It is a well known fact, by those familiar with wasmngton affairs, that Mr. Taft has not always agreed with Mr. Roosevelt's first im pressions; that the president In con sulting with Taft has not infrequently modified his own views and sometimes convinced that he was wrong, adopted the course that Taft advised, rather than the one he himself "first con sidered. In other words, Roosevelt and Taft are great admirers, one of the other and in the exchange of their political views and policies, one has influenced the other, the president, of course, be ing the dominating spirit, as he is the president, Just as. Taf t will be the dominating spirit of his -administration, should he be; elected to succeed Roosevelt Taft believes In the Roosevelt theory of government, which after all is the same theory of government that was given to us when the republic was founded. He is strong-willed, In dividual, honest. The people have confidence that his will and courage will guide the ship of" state in the channels which lead to the Old havens of the true republic. The nomination of Taft is therefor the only logical one that could have been made by the Republican conven tion at Chicago today. It is one that the Republicans of the country may well endorse and it should receive the endorsement of every Republican who believes in the future of the Ameri can republic and Republican Institu tions. MELAN BRIDGE AND THE FLOOD. There is a disposition to place the blame for the floods In Topeka to the melan bridge and other obstructions in the Kansas river, the inference being that if there had been no bridges across the Kaw there would have been no flood this year and none five years ago. It is natural for people who have suffered to search for the causes that have contributed to their misfortune but often In the stress and excite ment of the occasion they hit upon the wrong thing. Mayor Green says that the melan bridge Is too low and another correspondent says that no one ever heard of a flood In Topeka until after the bridge had been built. It follows that if the bridge is to blame for the conditions this year and five years ago there should have been no overflow where there was no melan bridge to Interfere with the flow of the waters. Consequently If the melan bridge would explain the cause for the flood in Topeka It would not explain why Manhattan, St. Marys, Junction City, far away from the in fluence of the bridge above Topeka and Lecompton, Lawrence, Eudora or Kansas City below Topeka suffered from the flood as well as Topeka. The fact is that in both floods the channel of the Kaw was entirely In adequate to carry the waters that came down the valley and whether there were bridges or not there would have been floods Just the same. more man mat, me situation would have been much worse five years ago if there had been no melan bridge for It afforded an avenue of escape which prevented great loss of life. xne peopte must look for some other remedy. Adequate dykes would have without a doubt prevented the disaster this year to a great extent but it is doubtful if dykes could be built strong enough and high enough to have prevented a disaster like that of five years ago. SWEDISH VIEW OF PROHIBITION. The Investigation of the prohibition question in Kansas by Mr. N. P. Math iasson, vice president and general manager of the Swedish United Spirit Rectifying company of Helsingborg, Sweden, is certainly amusing. Mr. Mathiasson admits that he is frighten ed at the temperance sentiment in his country and evidently he fears that It will result In national prohibition for Sweden and then, alas, what would be come of Mr. -Mathiasson- and his business?. So the general manager of the wholesale liquor monopoly of Sweden hies himself to Kansas to prove to his own satisfaction that prohibition Is a failure. He will take the message back with him to his native land and hopes by that means to be able to check the growing sentiment Which Is threaten ing to destroy his business. It seems that Mr. Mathiasson is put ting himself to a great deal of. unnec essary trouble and expense for so far as prohibition is concerned his ver dict was made up before he left Swe den. Prohibition was a failure then and it is still a failure and will r con tinue to be a failure. in the eyes of the general Manager of the United Spirit Rectifying company Of Sweden.- Mr, Mathiasson tells how well the li quor business is managed in his country. For Instance he -says that no one Is permitted to sell liquor to drunkards. Without wishing to start a controversy it might be suggested that the foreign gentleman has the wrong Idea of the question. Would it not be better to sell liquor to drunk ards than to sell it to people who are not drunkards with the chance of making drunkards of them? Our visitor says that he found To peka dull and at the same time he says that he saw more drunken men on the streets of Topeka than on the streets of Kansas City. If he was looking for the kind of life that is engendered by the drinking of liquor he should have therefore been pleased with the activity in Topeka. The chances are that Mr. Mathiasson wore blue goggles while he was in Kansas City, for Missouri is not a prohibition state and he was not Interested in such evidence as he could have se cured there. The statement that more drunken men are seen on the streets of Topeka than in some other city is not suscep tible of proof. It Is at best an im pression and a thorough canvass of the situation would probably show that the statement of Mr. Mathiasson Is Just as groundless as that made a few days ago by Mr. Arthur Brisbane concerning Topeka and Paris. The report of the Swedish emissary of the liquor interests will not sur prise any one and even the people of Sweden probably understand that this is a case of a "fixed" Jury. Chief Murphy of New York now ad mits that W. J. Bryan will be nomi nated for president by the Democrats. It took him a long while to find out what every one else in the country knew. Mr. Murphy should wake up If he Is going to continue his career as a successful politician. Something unusual In the divorce line has cropped up in Rhode Island. It bespeaks of a condition which is hardly imaginable. A wealthy man who was divorced by his first wife married a chorus girl. He has start ed a suit for a divorce from her and names his own son as one of several corespondents. A report from Washington says tfiat a contribution of 18,000 to the con science fund of the government has Just been received from a New Jersey man, making a total of $40,000 from the same source to repay fourfold what was stolen by the unknown sender many years ago. If the thief has squared himself with his con science the government ought to be satisfied. Hard Times and Bad Money. Counterfeiters are unusually active Just now.. Ever since the "hard times began last fall bad money and the men who make it have been more than ordinarily abundant. If hard times were good and work was plenty some 01 tne men wno are now making imitations of our small coins and small bills would be turning their hands to honest toll. "The counterfeiting business is a pretty good thermometer of the times," said one of the secret service officials today, "and even if I did not read the papers I would know that business was not first class lust at present by the number of counterfeits that are being sent to this office and the number of complaints we receive from business men. When business is good throughout the country only the big counterfeiters, the experts In the business, keep at It. The fellow who makes quarters and dimes in the New York tenement house from metal that he has bought at the. Junk shop around the corner has work then that is safer and easier. "During the last five or six months the quantity of counterfeit money turned up by our men or sent to the bureau was more than double the amount taken during the five or six months before. Under the law we are compelled to keep In the office all counterfeit money of every de scription, and all apparatus and ma terials used in making the counter feits that fall into our hands until ex amined and inventoried by the secre tary of the treasury. ALier me inventory Is mads the counterfeit notes are sent down to be macerated like the real money that is destroyed when) it returns to the treasury; the di$ lithograph plates, and molds are burned up In" the treasury department furnace, and the silver and feoid counterfeits are taken to a local smelter's cupola and there melted. Although it has taken two years to fill our store room with the counterfeiters' Junk this time, it will, if the present activity continues among the; makers 'Of- the 'queer, be all loaded up again within the next six months." Washington dispatch to New York Tribune. JOURNAL ENTRIES -Fish may be scarce in Kansas, but the early spring Kansas liar has not fallen off in his batting average. Out or a dozen "nab. lies" entered in a Denver paper's contest, four of the best and largest lies were mailed from Kansas points.

There is nothing disgraceful about the average wedding, but It seems natural for the principals to get out of town at the earliest opportunity. Just as though they had been detect ed stealing clothes from a line. The "hotenoughforyou" Idiot has been superseded by the "wetenough foryou" chump, who is no less a pest. Every cloud has its silver lining. In many of the rural districts of "Flpody Kansas," during the past week, the natives did not have to "look out for the .cars" while crossing railroad tracks. Yes, it rains once in a while In Kansas.

Wonder what J. R. Burton thinks of that Roosevelt demonstration at the Chicago convention. Carrie Nation must have had a good time in Hinkey Dink's saloon at Chicago, where three bartenders were required to put her out. JAYHAWKER JOTS Little George Waters, of Louisville, was badly injured last week by cutting his foot. Dr. Cutright was called in, and It is to be hoped that he dressed tne cut right. A man In Junction City is alleged to have killed a bullsnake seven feet long, and the Salina Journal says that any man from Indiana can tell of black snakes that beat this a mile. You are cordially invited by U. G. Stewart, the Rossville boomer of Delia, to spend the Glorious Fourth in that barely-preceptlble addition to the map. The Delia police will make no effort to restrict the shooting of firecrackers. The state university has appointed a committee to mark the spots of his torical interest in Lawrence, and T. B. Murdock says: '"This committee will not have completed its work until it marks the building on Massachusetts street, west side, where Bill Hazeltine sold Lincoln pie to the Union soldier camped In and about that! town In '61. We can taste it yet." Upon turning ,ver the Effingham New Leaf, the following flood echo was discovered: Effingham experienc ed the heaviest rain, of the Spring Sun day morning. There must have been at least two Inches ,'of water fell." A careful examination of this direful par agraph may give some idea of the des perate conditions 'at Effingham. The Haskell County Republican's boost for the visiting thespians: "My Fard" presented by the Ulysses Dra matic club Saturday night was a suc cess in every way and speaks well for the members of the club. The attend ance was very good considering ihe unclemency of the weather. We hope this will not be the last time these good natured people of Ulysses will visit our city. i Holton Signal: WA lady who did not give her name called up the Signal last week and said that the editor had wheels In his head. We knew that there was something in our head, out thought It was scrap iron, barbed wire or cinders. We are glad to learn that nothing worse than wheels constitute the filling." Your attention is called, Frank, to the fact that the lady's re mark Is of antique origin. She should take a correspondence course in mod ern slang. Unless the order is revoked, the Mos cow postoffice will be discontinued July 1. The reason for the office being discontinued is that no one seems dis posed to act as postmaster up there. The pressing need for an office in that vicinity is great and the discontinu ance will work a hardship on the pat rons. In place of the office the patrons have begun to agitate, a rural free de livery and may get it but in the mean time the office at Zella will handle the Moscow mail. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. Nearly every man has his list of outrages. There is everything in quitting be fore you have tired everyone out. One sort of fool is the man who be lieves he can get a ten cent cigar for five. The homelier a man is, the more he has to say about how the women run after him. There are not so many wicked things for married men to do as most people imagine. If a man pronounces a word wrong he usually lugs it in every time he opens his mouth. Every time the women say anything about cigarettes, the men should come back with corsets. A woman will take abuse from her husband through love of him that a clerk will take for money. When a man falls to make a suc cess as a fakir, he says that the great trouble is that he is honest. A great many of the new ideas do not amount to anything. Mutton tal low, is better for sore lips than vase line. When a man has managed to save a little money, people think he is childish, and don't know how to take care of It. If a woman confessed to being one million years old, there would be some one present who would say: "She is older than that" Every woman, according to her marriage notice, is pretty and every woman, according to the announce ment of her death, was kind and good. If it pleases you to hear a friend say he would do anything in the world for you, don't prepare a thorn for yourself by mentioning one or two things you want done. People who look at themselves In the glass, get their' faces ready Just as if they were going to have their pictures taken. No one takes his scowls to the mirror. If people did, and saw how ugly they looked, there would, be leas scowling. KANSAS COMMENT ACCORDING TO THE BENEFIT ONE RECEIVES. The new tax law may prove crude and satisfactory this year, but the prin ciple underlying it Is right Every dol lar or every man or corporation's mon ey should be assessed at its full value. in me ena tnis will be the rule in Kan sas as it now is In many other state. Kingman Leader-Couier. Taxation in Kansas has long been spoken of as an irksome burden.' The reason has been because of its unequal distribution. Dwellers in the cities have been compelled heretofore to pay a tax that is out of proportion to that paid by the dwellers in the country, and the ocuuiia m turn nave paid more than tne corporations. There are very few per sons who are inclined to minimize the benefits they receive from government and there is no proper protest against each bearing his proper share of its cost. And this is simply the end at which the new tax law aims that ev ery man shall pay according' to the benefit he receives which is directly measurable In the amount of money or property he has. Leavenworth Times. RAIN AND FLOODS IN OKLAHOMA. It is hoped by the friends of Okla homa that the damage from floods Is exaggerated in the press reports. We are inclined to think so, for outside of a comparatively limited valley country the rains that caused the floods will add millions of dollars to the wealth and income of Oklahoma. The Washita' river seems to be the chief center of the torrential Overflow. The rains began there Friday morning and were incessant until Saturday night. The country needed them, and we believe that when the results axer summed up the profits -to the country will far. exceed the damage:. Along the- Washita there are towns and cities that could not be damaged to any great extent, for only a very few of them are built on sites so low that they could be reached by high water. The valley itself is of a nature that floods cannot remain long in It, and the probability is that within a few days there will not be a sign of water on the ground, which is remarkable for its porosity. Blessings often appear In disguise, and the floods Just reported may be the means by which riches will be ad ded to our neighbors on the south. They may cause some individual loss for the present, and of a.:- temporary and transient nature, but the good that will come out of the rains that caused the floods will be general and. will have more than a temporary Influence on the great prosperity that is observable everywhere In that country. Wichita Eagle. PNEUMONIA SECRET FOUND. That mystery pneumonia, which has baffled the medical world so long is, it was announced last night, being solved by the commission of eminent phy sicians from all parts of the country appointed by the health board In an effort to combat the disease. Pneu monia's death ratio in recent years has become greater than that of the fatal rival, "the white plague." Dr. Herman M. Biggs, who has led the fight against the spread of tubercu losis in this city, and at whose sugges tion the pneumonia commission was appointed, told last night of the prog ress made. To a reporter Dr. Biggs said: -"At the outset of our investigations some of us believed a great many things about pneumonia, and many of those beliefs have been proven to be true by actual experiments In various cities, as well as in- different country sections.- "It has been proved that pneumonia is infectious; that it is caused by a germ, the Pneumococcus, and that It attacks the normally strong as well as the weak with like fatality. "The pneumonia germ, which is a lancet-shaped -creature, as germs go. generally travels in pairs and is taken into the system through the nose and mouth. It remains, waiting its Chance to descend into the lungs and begin its havoo. This chance comes when the physical condition of the person is de pressed from an insignificant attack of influenza, measles, bad cold, catarrh, tonsllitia, or the like. Once in the lungs it propagates with marvelous rapidity, and the lungs soon become congested. If the congestion Is not relieved death Is sure. "In many respects there is great sim llnrltv between eonsumDtlon and pneu monia, and the accepted treatment for the former in many instances proves Ben eficial to the latter. However, the tuber culosis germ works slowly on the lungs of the victim, "while the pneumonia germs works with amazing rapidity. "Pneumonia has no terrors to the per fectly well man, but those who think themselves in the best of health some times are its readiest victims. "The germ may be carried in the mouth of a .perfectly well person for as long as six months, waiting for him to catch a cold or something of the kind. Instantly It makes the most of Its opportunity." New York American. A TOTTERING DYNASTY. Reports from the Balkans indicate that a serious upheaval may occur in Servia before very long, which will be directed against King Peter and the brood of assassins that takes refuge behind his throne. The -priests In the churches and the newspapers in their columns do not hesitate to warn the King that the country will no longer permit the assassins of the late King Alexander and of several loyal soldiers who have sought to bring the king's murderers to Justice to escape the just punishment of theSr crimes. They do not hesitate to advise the king to re tire from Servia rather than lose his head. Little sympathy will be felt for the uncomfortable position in which the Tmwetit Servian king. Peter Kara georgevic, finds himself. While it has not been charged that King Peter was In the conspiracy that hatched and carried out the horrible murder of his predecessor and his unhappy queen, he did not hesitate to take advantage of the opportunity to mount the vacant throne and as a recompense for the bloody crown offered him, he has since shielded the regicides and the assassins of Voyal officers. What would happen were King Peter driven from the throne or done away with it is hard ot say. There, are no direct legitimate descendents Of the Obremovivch -dynasty to which the late Kins: Milan aad -the murdered Alexan der belonged, hence if the monarchy were to be continued a prince of a foreign dynasty would have to be se lected or some nonroyal native of Servia would have to be elected king, which would be no novelty, as both the Obremovitch and Karageorgevlc dyn asties were of plebeian origin. It Is not probable that the European powers would permit the formation of a re public, wen if the Servians, who are no more fitted for democratic govern ment than the Turks, so desired. New Orleans Picayutte. FROM OTHER PENS THE EVENING STORY Sally. T. C. By W. F. Bryan.) Sarah Henrietta Westervelt was the name entered in the register of the ivy-clad church, and in her baby days she was called Sally. 'But from the day her Cupid's arch of a mouth learned- to frame Intelligent sentences Jack Hardy had dubbed her the "Town Crier." ,N The nickname was so apt that it stuck, being reduced for simplicity's sake to T. C. Even during those stern minutes in the library with her father, he often dropped the sober "Sarah" for the more universal. T. C T. C.'s nickname was due to her genius for the dissemination of bits of gossip best forgotten. Her mind seemed naturally to empty itself of all imormation, and young Hardy., al tered an old saw into "What goes in x. j.-s ear comes out of her mouth. As T. C. grew in understanding the naDit got ner more firmlv in its srriD. Instead of 'learning to sppreciate the value of reticence, her wider scope of knowledge served only the better to equip her for the gathering of sundry bits of gossip which she would blurt out at tne most inopportune occasions, until not only her family, but their friends came to regard her with an affection that was not unmixed with terror. T. C. being a sensitive little soul, grieved In secret and made earnest vows that she would tattle no more. She meant to mend her ways, but at the first opportunity her store of knowledge would roll out unchecked ana unrealized. It was to Jack Hardy that she al ways went for sympathy and advice when these revelations and their con sequences hung heavy over her head. Though Jack had given her the odious nickname he made partial atonement Dy never employing it To him she was "Peterkin," and though frequently he was a sufferer from her disclosures, he was ever ready with advice, sympathy or candy as tne occasion seemed to demand: for he alone apparently realized that her fault was temperamental and not the result of maliciousness. T. C. fairly worshipped Hardy, yet all the little intimate details of his courtship of her sister Nell leaked out along with the rest of her chatter, and? there were times when Hardy's forbearance was put to a hard test. It was characteristic of the man that even the personal experience did not abate his sympathy for T. C, not even when he proposed to Nell and was given a negative answer. When Nell made hysterical refer ence to another girl, he felt that he had T. C. to thank for this, yet his office still was her haven of refuge and she Stoutly denied that she had said anything about some other woman. Hardy's questions had to be dls creetly framed if he did not wish the fact of his rejection to become com. mon talk, and he could not press the investigation. Instead he sought absorption in work, but the practice or a country lawyer seldom proves absorbing, and Hardy grew thin and white while he waited and hoped for a Clearing up of the trouble. He was sitting idly at his desk one afternoon when T. C. poked her head into the doorway, and finding that he was alone, entered boldly. "What Is It, Peterkin?" he asked, printing a kiss on the. child's troubled face. "Have you been telling the minister what your father said when he was asked to contribute to the chancel fund, or did you explain to the guests at the party that the salad was made with canned lobster?" "Worse 'an that," was the doleful declaration as T. C. snuggled against the broad shoulder. "The school committee visited this afternoon. Mr. Sprague asked us what love was, and I told him it was the way the princi pal .acted with Miss Sounders. They all laughed but Miss Squires got red in the face and I was expelled. It Is the truth." she added defiantly. "He kisses her when he thinks no one can see him, and she calls him 'Georgie.' I wouldn't call any man with whiskers 'Georgie,' like a little boy." "Wait until you grow up," ad monished Hardy. "But see here, Peterkin, I know Mr. Torrance very well. Perhaps, I can beg you off If you promise to keep out of his love analrs in future." "You Just bet I will." declared T. C. with unction. "Lovers are funny people. There's Nell just crying her eyes out because you carry some other girl's picture in your watch." "What do you know about that pic ture?" asked Hardy tensely. "Did you tell Nell about that?" "I saw it one day when you left your watcn on tne desk, explained T. c I didn't tell Nell. I just said It was funny that you had another girl's picture in your watch when Nell's new pioturea are so much prettier." Hardy sprang up from his desk and set T. C. upon her feet "Look here, Peterkin," he proposed. "You take this dime and find a place where you can get ice cream soda. Don't be in too much of a hurry to drink It. Better get two. Meantime, I'll slip over to the house and sort of prepare them for the news that vou are expelled." T. C. gurgled a delighted assent and presently they emerged from the office building, and T. C. went skipping along to the candy store, while Jack made for the Westervelt home. Nell was sitting on- the shade piazza as he came up the path. As she saw him she rose to her feet but It was too late for a graceful retreat He sprang up the steps and caught her hand. 'Don't go in," he pleaded. "Let's sit out here. It la more pleasant." "Shall I call father?" she asked. "He is in the library." "I hope to see him before I go," de clared Hardy, meaningly. "But first I want to speak to you. Nell flushed at the suggestion, but she resumed her place in the rocker and Jack drew a chair to her side. "When I asked you to marry me you said something about another girl," he began, plunging directly into the subject h. iim, i auaoected that T.
