Severe Electrical Disturbance Accompanies Rain. House of Dr. U. W. Boby Struck by Lightning. INCH OF WATER FALLS Topeka Appears to Have Been Center of Storm. Hot Weather Continues Despite the Rainfall. The oppressive humid heat of the past three days was alleviated last night by a soaking rain of .80 inch which besan at 8:30 o'clock and fell until midnight. Three times m as many days the weather bureau forecast ed showers and as many times the sky clouded over without results. The jain last night came up from the south blown along by the drift of gulf ajr to the low pressure area in Missouri. Severe Electrical Storm. The storm last night was araora paniid by the most vivid electrical dis play ever witnessed. The sky was rent tram horizon to zenith every few sec onds by zigzag flashes of lightning while the roll of thunder was continu ous, varied occasionally by sharp crashes like rifle shots. The house of Dr. H. W. Roby, 2101 Kansas avenue, was somewhat dam aged. The lightning struck a tree near the house and Jumped' to a chimney which was torn to pieces. The tele pnone was also torn to pieces but no one was hurt. bolt also struck a tree on the Joseph Reed place on lower Kansas avenue near the house but the building was not damaged. The house of T. B. Hitching, 710 Clay street was hit. The chimney was knocked off and Mr. Kitching was stunned but not seriously hurt. A large cottonwood tree at Fifth and Buchanan streets was struck. People in the neighborhood were greatly frightened but no one was hurt. Many telephones were burned out. Last night heavy rain caused con siderable damage to wash goods stocks in the Warren M. Crosby Company's store. Recent rebuilding operations have made it impossible to keep the building covered and rains such as that of last night are sure to leak through. The work of getting the roof for the new building on is being rushed with redoubled haste today. Still Hot Today. While the night was cool as a re sult of the rain, the thermometer be gan its climb again early this morn ing and by 8 o'clock had reached $0 degrees. It probably will be a dryer heat and cause less discomfort than that of the past few days. With the thermometer at 88 yesterday, the heat was far more oppressive than during the scorching dry days of July, when the mercury was thumping the top on the tube. While the rain was light over most of the eastern half of the state, To peka received the heaviest fall, Baker registered .12 of an inch, Macksville .14, Manhattan .62. In Missouri, Kansas City got .68. Lexington .18, Harrisonville .04 and Brunswick .06. The Santa Fe reports the rain general over the eastern part of the state west to Newton. High temperatures were recorded Tuesday at Macksville. where the ther mometer reached 106, at Dodge City with 104, McPherson 104, Toronto 102, Wichita 102, Enid 100. The temperatures as they declined during the rain last night follow: 8 o'clock 9 o'clock 921 2 o'clock 76 3. o'clock 80 4 o'clock 79 5 o'clock 75 6 o'clock 74 7 o'clock 75 8 o'clock 80 10 o'clock 70 11 o'clock 78 12 o'clock 79 1 o'clock 77 The forecast is for cooler weather and local showers tonight or Thurs day. The wind is blowing 10 miles an hour from the south and the sky is at times clouded, making the day pleasanter. The thermometer reached 90 degrees, however, by 2 o'clock. 9 o'clock 8312 o'clock Rg 10 o'clock 881 1 o'clock 89 11 o'clock 86 2 o'clock 90 STORM AT LUDINGTON Tornado Does Da mace Estimated at a Million Dollars.

RAIN IS FALLING. Fires Are Checked in Montana and Idabo Is Out of Danger. Spokane, Wash., Aug. 24. Forest fires continued to advance throughout the mountains of Idaho and Montana today, but more slowly, and although thousands of majestic pine trees are destroyed, it is believed that the strat egy of man has triumphed over the fury of flame and wind. In the state of Washington the fires still burning are of no consequence.' The list of dead in this state has been reduced to six and the loss of property was not large except in the timber of the Pend D'Oreill valley. In Montana, where the number of Are fighters has been greatly increased and whither large numbers of United States soldiers are hastening, rain has fallen with promise of more. In Idaho the hoped for rain did not come but the towns and ranchers are out of danger and with human life no longer threatened the fire fighters are able to wage war directly upon the great fire masses in the woods. The most disagreeable news today came from Sand Point, Idaho, to the effect that the fires at the upper edge of Pend D'Oreill lake were increasing. A fire on Independence is approaching Athol, which is also threatened from another direction. Destructive fires are still raging in the mountains and there will be much mutton roasted un less the sheep men can drive their great flocks to safety. Forest Ranger Joseph B. Halm, with a small crew of men, has been missing since Saturday, when he was fighting fire on the big fork of the Coeur D'Alene river. Halm was formerly a star athlete of the Washington state college. Near Cabinet, Idaho, J. Harris and J. Plant, fire fighters, were burned to death. Their bodies have been recov ered. At Tuscar, Mont., A. G. Bourett was burned to death and his body was recovered and buried. This makes Montana's deaths total two. At 11 o' clock today rain was re ported falling copiously Jn Paradise, the farthest western point reached by the local officials of the Northern Pa cific. Saltes and Stregis send similar reports. Latest reports indicate the storm is continuing. Supervisor Kin ney of the Missoula national forest has received word from more of the ranger stations in his district, saying the storm is general. He has sent out word to all rangers to keep the fire fighters at their posts. WORSE THAN DEATH. Prisoners Denied Hearing Ejection Re turns Attempted Suicide. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 24. Two prison ers in the county Jail here attempted to kill the.nselves when denied the privilege of hearing the election re turns. They said that to be in jail on election day in Georgia was insupport able. Both attempted suicide at the same time. A. J. Hammond strangled him self into a si li-conseious condition with a knotted handkerchief and Er nest George was found hanging to the ceiling with a pair of suspenders. A DANGEROUS RIVAL. Crop reports indicate that the time holding her own tola season, NOPiNK LEMONADE Delights of Old-FashionedPump-kin Fair Pass. Delicate Shade of Pink Now to Join Standpatters. DR. CRUMBLNE'S ORDER "Crying" and "Harking" Drinks Violation of Law. Statements Made by Vendors Declared Misleading." The delights of the old one-ring, wagon circus and the old-fashioned pumpkin fair have passed away never to return, but there remained the bark er and the dispenser of pink lemonade as a last link between the middle-aged man and his lost youth. Now these are to go, and there will be no balm left in Gilead for the remainder of the sum mer. Dr. Crumbine, the man who swatted the flies and banished thi drinking cups and made life a burden for careless grocers and hotel keepers and druggists, has decreed that the pink lemonade man must come down from the place he has occupied for over a generation to mingle with the common herd. The county fair has lost the remainder of its glory. The doctor today sent out word to the food inspectors over the state to make ihe pink lemonade man at the fairs sell real lemonade. The delicate shade of pink only obtained by the judicious use of certain ingredients must go to Join the standpatters and the mound builders. Saccharine and tartaric acid and cyanide are barred henceforth and forever more. This sor row might be borne, but there is more to come. The doctor says in his last mandate: "The 'crying' or 'barking' of lemon ade or oranseade or cider, when imi tation products are served, is held to be in violation of Regulation 18, para graph e which extends to 'oral state ments by the seller calculated or liable to mislead or deceive the purchaser in any respect, and cause him to believe that he is receiving goods of a differ ent character from that of those actu ally delivered.' Such practice is, there fore, illegal." The old order changeth. The state proposes to carry its policy of protec tion of its citizens even to the grounds of the county fair. These picnics now must be conducted under the rules and regulations. In the past when a man took his family to the fair he did not expect the most hardy to recover for a week. They all drank pink lemonade by the quart and listened with dose attention and delight to the fervent ap peal of the man in the stand, "All you kin drink fer a nickel, a half dime; the best lemonade in the world, ice cold and fresh and fine, a whole lemon in every glass and a pound of ice each time." The pink lemonade man was the last leaf on the tree. And now he, too, is gone. W. J. PEET KILLED. Wliile Driving an Automobile He Han Into a Ditch. Kansas City, Aug. 24. W. J. Peet, a wealthy soap manufacturer, was killed in an automobile accident ten miles south of here last night. Henry E. Long, his wife and Mrs. Peet were injured in the mishap. None of them is dangerously hurt. Three of the Long children, who were riding in the car, were unhurt. The accident happened when Mr. Peet, who was driving, turned out of the road way for a wagon and ran into a ditch. The car overturned, throw ing out all of the occupants. Mr. Peet died two hours after the accident. OLD TIMERS LOSE. Support of Cannon Rules Causes De feat of Two Congressmen. Atlanta, Ga., Aug.- 24. Hoke Smith of Atlanta probably will be the next governor of Georgia. Two of Georgia's oldest congressmen- in point of ser- typical Kansas Dead) w ill have a hard vice, Leonidas F. Livingston and Wil liam M. Howard, were defeated for renominations in, campaigns in which their alleged support of the socalled Cannon rules at the organization of the house last winter was made a prin cipal issue. These were the most no table results of yesterday's Democratic primary. THOMAS LAID TO REST. Simple Services Mark La Rites for "Ideal Rich Man." No music, no address, just the sim ple scriptural reading and prayer of the Quaker belief, constituted the. fun eral service for Jonathan Thomas who was buried-this afternoon. The-simple service was in accord with the. life long retiring manner of Mr. Thomas. His charities and eduation.n; d mations always had been unobtrusive. The funeral services were in charge of Dr. S. S. Estey, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, and were held at 4 o'clock. The services at the home were public and many mourners were pres ent to hear the simple words. The body was laid to rest in the family vault at Topeka cemetery and the ser vice there was held privately. The pallbearers, all of whom were em ployes in the Thomas Lumber company, were Paul Huycke; John Steele, George Erickson, Henry J. Buechner, Edward May and D. J. Bair. The body of Jonathan Thomas, which arrived In Topeka-Tuesday from Rye Beach, N. H., laid in state in the north east room of the home at 515 Harrison street this morning. The room was a mass of floral offerings which continued to arrive throughout the day. Great rose wreaths and designs of lilies pre' dominated but every flower and design of the floiist's art was there in token of love and respect. Tearful men and women came and went from the Thomas home where "last look "at the body was offered. In almost a procession the friends and former employees of Mr. Thomas took advantage of the per mission between tUe hours of 9 and 10:30. Even in front of the closed doors of the offices of the J. Thomas Lumber company, workmen" and their families, whom he had befriefided,. stood in mourning. i At Washburn "college, where Mr. Thomas is most appreciated because he had shown the higher usefulness of wealth, the chimes of the Thomas memorial gymnasium, the gift of Mr. Thomas, were silenced in the after noon. Only one period was excepted. Beginning at 5 o'clock the 6S- years of Mr. Thomas' life -will be tolled by min ute strokes of the large bell. The sim ple ceremony was adopted by the col lege authorities as the most fitting and significant memorial which they could devise. LET STATE INSURE. New Plan for Protecting School Buildings) Proposed. Ei T?.-Stratford, anrattorney living at El Dorado, has written Superintend ent Fairchild to protest against the excessive rate of insurance charged by the different companies for taking the risk on the school buildings- of the state in general and in Butler county in particular.- Mr. Stratford has a plan something like the bank guaranty scheme, which he thinks should be ap plied to the school property of the state in relation to insurance. He thinks that the various school boards ought to draft an insurance idea along this line: "Suppose a tax of a small fraction of a mill was collected in each city and school district for an insurance fund. It is raised by taxation as it is paid department of the state. Suppose there a policy Is issued by the state or some department of thestate. Suppose there is a loss, the amount would be appor tioned among tho different school boards or districts in proportion to the amount of insurance they carry and the rate which their risk would call for. I think it is safe to say that the cost would not exceed 60 per cent of the present cost, and it might be much less than that" Superintendent Fairchild does not en dorse the plan, nor does he repudiate it. He would leave it to the meeting of boards of education and school boards which will meet in state convention next fall. The superintendent admitted that the insurance rate on school prop erty In this state is excessive, and said that it had been explained by the com panies by the fact that the buildings are unoccupied part of the- year, there by, in the nature of things, increasing the risk. WANT ANNEXATION. Moras Get TTp a Demonstration During Dickinson's Visit. Zambango, Mindanao, P. I., Aug. 24. A demonstration in favor of the an nexation of Mindanao to the United States took place here today. Two hun dred Filipinos had presented to Secre tary of War Dickinson, who is visiting the Philippine islands, a petition ask ine that the Moro islands be placed -un der Filipino control and the entire archi pelago granted maepenoence. Secretary Dickinson replied that tne American government was not willing to entrust the government of 335.000 Moras to 66,000 Filipinos living In widely scattered regions. He feared that such a move would lead to a rupture of peaceful conditions, when the Ameri cans would bo left the task of restore ing order. Four Dattos or Moro enters represent ing 40,000 Moros. at this point dramati cally tendered their allegiance to the United States and announced they -would fie-ht if the Americans withdrew. A wild demonstration followed and the cry that the province must become American territory ran tnrougn. tne crowd which had gathered to hear Mr. Dickinson. Kappa Kappa Gamma Meets.

The Document Providing for Annexation Already Signed. Becomes Effective When Formal" Proclamation Is Made. Tokio, Aug: 24. The text of the convention under which Korea is an nexed to Japan, was communicated at 11 o'clock this morning to the repre sentatives of the powers. The document which, according to now established. facts, was signed Au gust 22, will be effective when officially promulgated. This will be, according to some of the ministers, August 29 or August 30, when the independent existence of the hermit kingdom, the struggle for whose control started the Russo-Japanese war, will cease. Baron Hirata, minister of the Inter ior, summoned the proprietors of all the Japanese newspapers to his cabinet today and requested them to publish no unauthorized information regard ing the situation in Korea. He point ed out that such publication under ex isting conditions would only make the task of the Japanese government more difficult. The newspapers agreed to his wishes and nothing regarding the annexation, beyond official statements, will be published here before the pub lication of the promulgation of the convention. The Japanese government, which al ready has a large number of repre sentatives in Korea, will be prepared to take over the machinery of admin istration in Korea without delay. Considerable uneasiness is reported at Seoul, owing to the circulation of threats of disorder following the an nexation. These emanate, according to the view taken here, from malcon tents who have not received the con sideration which they think their due in the provision made by the conven tion for the future of the Korean royal family, nobles and officials. Sporadic outbreaks in protest against the ab sorption of Korea by Japan are antici pated, but serious rioting or even wide spread objection from the Koreans to the annexation are not expected. MEADE IS IN CUSTODY. Suspended Officer Terrorizes Neigh borhood. With Shotgun. Two hundred North Topekans wit nseed the arrest of William W. Meade, until recently a. member of the police force, after he had terrorized his neighborhood with a Winchester re peating shotgun, threatening to kill his wife or anyone who interfered. He was taken in custody by Patrolmen Wilt and Woods after he had been persuaded to go out of his house by an acquaintance living in the neighbor hood. That Meade was under the in fluence of some drug is the belief of the police. He was locked up about 7:30 o'clock last night and has been held on a charge of disturbing the peace. Meade has been in a deal of trouble of late, dating to his suspension from the police force a month ago on the charge of intoxication. He was rein stated but was permanently suspended last week. His last suspension follow ed a disturbance he created in his home at 1431 North Quincy street, he having left his beat without permis sion and had driven his frightened wife from their home in terror of physical injury. She immediately brought suit for divorce on grounds of drunkenness and cruelty. The attention of the neighborhood was drawn to the Meade house last night by Mrs. Meade's calls for help and neighbors found the husband armed with a shotgun with which he threatened to "blow up" anyone who bothered him. It is believed he was in an irresponsible condition from the use of drugs, says Chief of Police Mor ris Jenkins. He is held for trial In police court. LAYS OPEN HER SCALP. Fred Collins Held on Charge of Hit ting; Ills Consort. A row in the Collins-Copeland estab lishment at 924 Kansas avenue, an old stone dwelling house occupied for years hy negroes who have made much trouble for the police, ended this mnrnlnar when Fred Collins laid open the scalp of .Laura. Copeland, his con sort, with a blow from a beer bottle. Seven stitches were required to close the gash. What the fuss was about no one seems to know, but it is not trie first in which one or the other mem ber of the household has been badly used. Collins, now In the police station on a charge of disturbing the peace, uses crutches as the, result 'of a bullet wound said to have been inflicted by a revolver -in .the hands of the Cope land woman about two weeks ago. A number of months ago it was reported that she had shot a third negro in the Jaw while endeavoring to hit Collins, but as not even the injured man would testify against her the case was dropped. Beside the charge of disturbing the peace filed against -Collins, the Cope land woman is held on a similar count, also on a charge of selling intoxicating liquors. BIKES ARE LOSING OrT. The Export Trade Has Fallen to Al most -Nothing. Washington, Aug. 24. Bicycling as a pasttime 18 rapidly decreasing In oopularity abroad as well aa in this country. Government statistics show a tremendous falling off In exports of bicvcles from the united States. Ex planation of the decrease is found in the fact, it is saia. mat Dicscies are now used chiefly for business. When bicycles were at the zenith of their popularity in 1897, they were ex- ported to the value of $7,005,323. In 1900 the exports decreased to $3,553, 149. During the last fiscal year bi cycles exported aggregated only $620, 760. The greater share of them went to the United Kingdom. In Japan local manufacturers are largely sup plying the demand for the bicycles. as guktToTtaft. Spanish Yachtsmen Witness Presenta tion of Trophy. Beverly, Mass., Aug. 24.

CoL Boosevelt Places Himself in Opposition to Sherman In a Public Way at the Tlce President's Home. TALKS Off BUBAL LIFE. Addresses a Crowd of 11,000 at Grange Picnic In Summit Park, Overlooking the Mohawk Biver. Utica, N. Y Aug. 24. Theodore Roosevelt wound up the first day of his pilgrimage into the west by plac- Ing himself directly in opposition to Vice President Sherman. Speaking in tA ..In. I J i warmly endorsed State. Senator F. Davenport, who is a staunch progres sive and whom Mr. Sherman has said that he would not- mntinrt. Mr. Sher man was out of town today and aid not see Colonel Roosevelt. It. was late in. the afternoon when Mr. Roosevelt reached Summi Park, a summer re sort overlooking the Mohawk river. Ten thousand persons who attended the Granee nfonie there -were waiting for him and raised a cheer as the ex president appeared upon the platform. Colonel Roosevelt spied Senator Dav enport at once and he greeted him speech he turned to the senator and said: "I am glad to see you on the plat form, Senator Davenport, The only kind of nolitics I care for is the kind or pontics in wnicn aecency is com-,. bined with efficiency. I hold that the only way in which a politician can really serve his party is by helping that nartv efficiently -to serve the neonle. Because the senator and the men who have acted with him have stood for this principle I am glad to be On the platform with him." There was more cheering as the col onel uttered these words. When he could be heard again he added. "You win at least nouce mat my utterances are free from ambiguity." Then the colonel proceeded with his talk to the farmers. Colonel Roosevelt's move in endors ing Senator Davenport is regarded as his first step in the New York state fight. In leaving .New York he said there would be no compromise so far as he was concerned. He has let it be known that he was reluctant to take part in the struggle, but now that he is m ne win ngnt nara. In his prepared speech ColorieV Roosevelt dealt with the problems of life in the country and how 'to solve them. The colonel kept the crowd in good spirits 'with his epigrams, some of which were not down in his speech. "I think a good man and a good wnmnn can ff-e to "Heaven in a Hnxfn different ways," he said., ."but I do not think they can get J here unless they are good." "The only- motto for Americans should be 'all men up and not some men down.' he said. And a little lat er he said: "We hear a man tell his wife that she does not do as his mother did, but that man is frequently a man who does not do the way his father ought to have -done." What pleased the grangers most of all, however, was this: ."I will never go with the type of farmer who says: .'I am down on lawyers and bankers, I am against the business men.' I will go with him when he says,. I am against a bad type of lawyer, or bad type of banker.' "In other words, I will go with him when he pronounces judgment on a man not in accordance with his occupation, but .in accordance with his conduct. This is good American doctrine. "Sometimes we hear a man say he is the poor man's friend. I am the poor man's friend If the poor man is straight and I am the rich man's friend if the rich man is straight, hut I am against the crooked man, rich or poor." Colonel Roosevelt's Address. He spoke as follows:'. "There are no two public questions of more vital importance to the fu ture of this country than the problem of conservation and the problem of the betterment of public life. More over, -these two problems are really interdependent, for neither of them can be successfully solved save on con dition that there is at least a measure able success in the effort to solve the other. In any great country the prime physical asset the physical asset more valuable than any other is the fer tility -of the soil.- All our industrial and commercial welfare, all our ma terial development of every kind, de pends in the last resort upon our pre serving and increasing the fertility of the soil. This, of course, means the conservation of the soil as the great natural resource? and, equally, of course, it furthermore Implies the de velopment of country life, for there uau ,uuk uts a. jjci iiia.ut:iii improvement of the -soil if the life of those who live nn it.

We are now trying to preserve, not for exploitation by individuals, but for the permanent benefit of the whole people, the waters and the forests, and we are doing this primarily as a means of adding to the fertility of the soil; al though in each case there is a great secondary use both of the water and of the forests for commercial and indus trial purposes." In the same' way it is essential for the farmers themselves to try to broaden the life of the man who lives in the open country; to make it more attractive, to give it every adjunct and aid to development wnicn nas been given to the life of the man of the cities. Therefore, friends, the con servation and rural life policies are really two sides of the same policy; and down at the bottom this policy rests upon the fundamental law that neither man nor nation can prosper unless. In dealing with the present, he steadily take thought for the future. "In one -sense this problem with which' we have to deal is very, very old.- Wherever civilizations have hitherto sprung up they have, always tended to go through certain stages and then to fall.

One thing is certain, there will not be $40 worth of players on the team at the end of the season. There will be nothing left to sell but the franchise. Perhaps O'Neill will say something concerning the former To peka -team before October 3, but it is not likely that he cares. either. Base ball fans naturally are not enthusias tic over a team which loses 19 out of 21 games and particularly when plans for Its further weakening are reported every day. It's mighty low-class com edy being staged now. Why it draws 50 cents and 25 cents for a seat is due simply to the fact that the home town likes to beat somebody. Cooley fig ures on selling the franchise either to Joplln or Oklahoma City, but it may yet be bought in Topeka. The Sioux Indians demonstrated their doings in their own pill-box Tues day when they clouted the Denver pitchers for a total of 29 hits in a double-header and took everything. If the. Packers keep that up for a week the Grizzlies will, have little chance of overtaking them. St. Joseph iews-Press: Richard Kaufman surely wasn't born under a lucky star. Monday he pitched a grand game of bait just as he has done several times before, only to lose out because his mates failed to sup port him with the stick and in the field. Kaufman's inability to win is not because of any discord. He is well liked by his team mates. It is sim ply ill-luck. Al though Goodrich' is credited with los ing Monday's game to the Rourkes, and probably deserves the blame, it is unfair to style him a "lemon" or a 'bone head." It Was his first appear ance In' the outfield with Holland's boys and he may have been a trifle nervous. Riggert, who scored on Goodrich's bobble, is a mighty fast man on the bases. Kane was cred ited, with a bingle,. and as a general rule a fast base runner can score from second on a blow. Even though Good rich had fielded the ball perfectly, it is no certainty that he could have thrown Riggert out at the plate. The real secret of the Drummers" defeat was their inability to hit when hits meant runs. And the same applies to their loss Saturday. Although they made six safe hits off Rhodes, not one counted in the run getting. Fox's lone ly score came over on a pair of rank errors. Lincoln News: Perhaps Dick Cooley, after all. was cuter than David Harum when he auctioned Pitchers Kaufman and Wright to the highest bidders in his own league. Kaufman brought in $1,500 of Jack Holland's hard dough while Frank Isbell separated himself from a thousand bucks In acquiring Wright. Since then neither tosser has come up to expectations. Lincoln Star: Isbell, by the way. claims that Durham Is the best pitch er in tne Western league. He has not as big a percentage of games won as Aitchison, but has all the goods and. by the way, has never failed to trim Lincoln this season. He used a slow ball Monday, over which he had per fect control and the way the heavy batters looked foolish swinging on that floater was a sight.; Not a walk either, and but four hits. St. Joseph Gazette: Johnny Baker, the St. Joseph boy boy who has been pitching for the Drummers all season. has been farmed out to the Superior club In the Nebraska state league by Manager Holland, The -Drummer boss was forced to dor this as- he has too big a pitching stff-and he had to cut down some way. Baker has won the majority of his games this year and he took part in more games than any other twirler around the circuit. It is almost certain that he will be recalled because, if he isn't, some other club will buy. He is easily capable of pitching in this league. Baker is now at his home in St Joseph. .870 .833 .333 .296 .286 .250 .231 .211 clubs .251; Des REMOVES ALL HUMORS FROM THE BLOOD The causa of all skin diseases can be traced to some humor In the blood.

Stansfield. 32 Kansas avenue. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 24 Joseph L. Bristow, junior United States sena tor from Kansas, was at the Union depot Tuesday for a few minutes, on the way to his home at Salina, from Ottawa, 111., where he spoke Monday night" He had not read the dispatches from New York regarding President Taft's letter to Lloyd C Griscom,' in which the president says Theodore Roosevelt was not opposed by him as acting chairman of the state convention. "I will give no opinion on President Taft's stand in this matter until I have read his letter," he said. "Further, I wish to say that it seems to me as if the worm is turning for the progres sive Republicans. If President Taft has declared himself in favor of Roose velt instead of Vice President Sherman it may be possible that the break in the New York situation is between the president and the latter and not the former. Exactly what this will mean is a hard matter to figure offhand. Voters Want Honest Men. "The political situation has reached the stage where the voters of the na tion are only going to vote for' men who are honest and who wiir work for the best interests of their constituents. "The good news from California is a big help to the -progressive Republi cans. With good organization this ele ment of the party will carry Washing ton, Illinois, Wisconsin and New Hampshire. Unless something unfore seen happens, Senator LaFollette will go down to defeat. The thinking voters are against him, yet his friends are doing everything in their power to pull him through." senator Bristow said that in his opinion the "standpatters" had no pos sible chance' of renaming Cannon as speaker or the house, should the Democrats win, he says Champ Clark will be the next speaker. Regarding the situation in Kansas he says the progressive Republicans will sweep the state. He believes in a change in the primary law which will give the gover nor the power to name the insurance and railroad commissioners so the people, if they have complaint to make, can obtain speedy action. Senator Bristow does not believe that the term of governor should be longer than two years. If a governor makes Rood his first term, he says, he will be re-elected by the people hands down, but if he should De allowed to hold the office four years, and early in his administration prove to be corrupt, the-"taxpayers would have no come In speaking of his controversy with the senator from Rhode Island, he said it was no personal matter with him. but one in which the PUDUC in general was Interested.

In days gone by It was said that only the small fry was crooked, but now there is evidence every day that the men higher up, connected with the corpora tions, are the most corrupt. "The corporations, which for years have been defrauding the people, are beginning to realise that the majority of their trusted employees are corrupt and the day of awakening is near."
