Rooseyelt Would Eliminate the Ambulance Chasers. Favors "The Compensation of Employees for Injuries." MAKE IT COMPULSORY And Without the Necessity of a Suit at Law. IeEislation Helps But Does Not Alone Bring Success. Kansas City, Kan., Sept. 1. Speak ing to an audience composed chiefly of working men in this city. Col. Theodore Roosevelt today heartily en dorsed the passage of a federll workingman's compensation act. mis is one of the chief planks of the Kan sas state platform recently adopted. Speaking without notes In the au ditorium here. Col. Roosevelt was fre quently cheered to the echo. He was introduced by ex-Mayor Guyer, a pro gressive Republican, who has been re garded as one of the strongest sup- j porters of Col. Roosevelt in Kansas. In presenting Col. Roosevelt, he char acterized him as "one of the foremost men of all the world." "More than once we have had to in vestigate conditions in such businesses ns you have in this city," said Col. Roosevelt in beginning hia address. "Always when we have done so the employer has explained to the wage earner that if the government was suocesful in its exercise of its control it would result in the cutting down ot vases. That is not so. All we strug gled to do was to secure better condi tions of employment and of living among the men actually employed in industries. Doesn't Uke the Term. "Take such questions as what is call ed the employers' liability. I do not like that expression because I think the term should be 'the compensation of emplovei's for injuries.' I feel very strongly that in every industry where there is the slightest risk of life or limb, whether on railways or in any other industrv, that in the event of lows of life or injury we should not leave it to lawsuits to determine what shall be done and least of all should ivc allow the whole weight of the bur den to fall upon shoulders least able to bear it. If a man is killed In an in dustry, instead of leaving his widow and children to carry the whole bur den, I would have it distributed over the whole industry by making the em ployer pay a certain amount of com pensation. It is not fair that a man xvorking on a railway, who loses his prm. should pay all the penalty by being crippled all of his life while the railway Days nothing. "It is not fair that a girl working in a factory which renders her liable to suffer injury, shall go on in life maim ed and no one else bear the burden for her. The burden should be dis tributed when a working man is in jured or killed in his employment. There should be no question of respon sibility. He should receive compensa tion for the injury he has suffered and if he is killed his family should re ceive such compensation. lOliminate the lawyers. "It should be the duty of the goveYn ment to see that he is paid too. He should not be left to bring a lawsuit. There are admirable lawyers but not many are found following the profes sion of ambulance chasers. The lawyer who makes his living by hunting up accidents and by carrying on lawsuits which may be justifiable or unjustifiable is not as a rule one whose interests it is necessary to consider. "We should have the compensation act so fixed that the wage worker would get his share. And none of it should go to a man who gets him into the lawsuits in connection with it. "I do not want to penalize the cor poration by making it pay an excessive amount. I want to see that what is paid goes to the injured man and to the injured man's family. Therefore I want to eliminate the lawyer totally from the transaction. "I am emphatically for progressive legislation as regards the control of the corporations as regards the adjustment of our relations with the corporation. But friends do not forget that no leg islation will ever avail unless we have the right type of men and women on whose behalf the legislation is invok ed." "That is the keynote," shouted a man in the rear of the auditorium. "Tea, that is the keynote," continued Colonel Roosevelt. "We must have good laws, we must have laws that will prevent men oppressing others or taking an improper share of what is gained through the exercise of their joint energies. But the law is only a help. If the man has not the right stuff in him, nothing can be done for him. And if any man thinks the law alone or the exertion of anybody but himself will enable him to make a suc cess in life, then that man may make up his mind that he is due to failure from the outset. Law Only a Help. "Do not trust any man who tells you that any change in the law will bring about the millennium. That is some distance off yet. Do not trust him if he tells you that any system of law will serve as a substitute for both men and women doing their duty in the posi tion which they occupy. "If the man has not got foresight, thrift, and power to work hard, he is not going to make a success. You ran not make any corporation employ him permanently if he is not worth employing. Men Who Will Stay Put. "So it is with the woman. I want to see the woman's burdens lightened as far as possible. I have no sym pathy for the man who is always com plaining about the social injustice to which he is exposed and at the same time is In idleness while his wife takes in washing. "I think all know certain men to be found about the corner grocery and in saloons, who declaim on the in justice of our present civilization, but somehow leave their wives to do all the work for that particular working man. I distrust a man who talks about how society should be reformed, but who can not keep his wife and chil dren out of the poor house by his own efforts. It is -well to think of one's rights but it is still more important to think of one's duty. If a man is a good father, if he is not harsh, cruel, or violent in his dealings with those depending upon him, if he is a good neighbor and a good man to work be side, he is a good citizen. If he falls short in this respect he is a bad man. Men Who WUI Stay Put. "It is as it was in the civil war. What the man in blue wanted to know about the comrade at his side was not wheth er he was well off, or not well oft, not whether he was a banker or a working man, but whether if found in a tight place he would stay put. So it is with civil life. What is indispensably necessary for every man's success is that he should have these qualities that will inspire respect in whoever happens to work beside him. It is the man who does his daily work well, who gains your respect. "Much can be done by the law, much by the honest administration of the law, but much depends upon the char acter of the individual man and the in dividual woman. "Do not misunderstand me. There are plenty of people, plenty, of wealthy men, who will seize on what I have said and say 'that is what I have told you it depends upon the individual.' "But the law must not permit injus tice. It must prevent injustice. We must constantly work to make condi tions better in order that each man may show his best, in order to make the chances of success in life better for the average man to lead his life happily and well for himself, his wife and his chil dren. "We can not be excused if we fail to work in the interest of men whose hopes for the future lie along these lines. I can not say how strongly I feel that. I want you to remember that everything possible should be done by the law and by the administration of the law to bring about these results that will work for justice and prosperity. When we do this, conditions will be fix ed so that in the last analysis the chief factor in the success or failure of any man or woman will be his or her per sonal character." Messase to Kansans. In his introductory remarks, he said he wanted the people of Kansas to un derstand that he was far from being an enemy of great industrial enterprise. "I am their friend, provided thev are decently and honestly conducted." he said. There were cries of "Good." "good." 'I hail the success of the cantaJn of industry, provided only that his suc cess means the decent treatment to those under him, fair treatment to those with whom he does business. I ask that the big business man be fair to nis employees and fair to the peo- If he is that I will do 1! T r-r tn help him. If he is not I will do mv best to see that he is."

The Third reeiment rc militia, headed by a band, acted as. an caiuri ior col. Roosevelt. The ex-president's train arrived i:i Argentine. Kan., from Lawrence at 10:30 o clock. The colonel was taken by motor to the place where he spoke and after a short address was rushed back to his train and brought to the union depot here. A giant crowd greet ed the colonel upon his arrival at the union station. As this is the only point at which his train is to ston in Mis souri on his present trip, thousands of propie irom all parts of Missouri and the southwest Journeyed here to greet him. Kvery hotel was jammed with visitors last night and this morning, hours before his SDecial train arrived here, the station and the streets along w men tne parade will nass were linet' The reception committee had planned a compact program whereby if every- ininar went ott per schedule the ex president would have one hour between 5:30 and 6:30 o'clock to himself. Every other minute was taken up with speeches, receptions and motor rides. One of the chief events on the program was a riae or 26 miles by motor over tne city's boulevard system. But last night, at Col. Roosevelt's re quest, a message was sent to the Com mercial club here asking members to arrange for the ex-president to visit the county fair at Independence, Mo., 12 miles east of here, and also to grant him as much time to rest as possible. Futile efforts were made by Commer cial club members to get in communi cation with the ex-president and then it was decided to leave the matter to Roosevelt upon his arrival today changing the program to suit his wishes. Whatever happens, however, the following will take place: The colonel will be given a luncheon at the Baltimore hotel at 1 o'clock and he will make an informal talk there At 3:30 o'clock he will address 1,600 punils at the Westrjort hieh school Officers of the Commercial club will tender a dinner to the colonel at 6 o'clock. At 8 o'clock he will speak in Convention hall. From Kansas CHv Roosevelt will go via the Chicago, Bur lington oulncy railroad to omana. Every attempt is being made to make t.e visit of the ex-president as in formal as possible. The city is' deco rated in American flags not Dunttng, because the reception commitee frown ed upon this as being cheap."

The rule of first come, first served, will hold at Convention hall. No seats have been reserved for any one. Many cowboys and rough riders are mingling with the crowd here. The Third regiment M. in G., will act as the colonel's escort upon his arrival here. DR. HYDE GOES HOME. Permitted to See His Baby Boy That Wp.s Born This Morning. Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 1. The long expected birth of a child to Mrs. B. Clark Hyde, whose husband is under life sentence in prison for the murder by poisoning of Thomas B. Swope, took place this morning.

Nueva vizcaya is the central pro vince of Luzon and Bayonong is its capital. Washington Is Surprised. Washington, Sept. 1. The reported disturbance in the province of Nueva Vizcaya comes as a surprise to the offi cials of the bureau of insular affairs and the other officers of the war de partment. No intimation has reached Washington of any general discontent in this wild, sparsely settled province and it is believed here that it was a surprise likewise to the officials in the Philippines. RAINFALL IS GENERAL. Excepting Southeastern Kansas Only, Precipitation Is Reported.

WANTED MOTHER'S HELP Lad Frustrated From Daring Attempt to Get Out of Charge. Kansas City. Mo., Sept. 1. Frus trated in a cool and daring attempt to bring his mother to his defense on a charge of burglary, Jacob Barney Mlze, 16 years old, of Ottawa, Kan., this morning blamed a friend, who took him to a Sunday baseball game, for his downfall. Mize was arrested in a pawnshop by J. J Raftery and John Sheehan, city detectives, while he was trying to pawn three revolvers A few minutes before he had pawned an automatic pistol at a neighboring pawnshop When the boy was taken to police headquarters, he readily enough ad mitted that he had stolen the weapons, but said he had stolen them from his stepfather. "My stepfather is Gus Martin," he said. "He has a hardware store at 123 North Main street. Hutchinson, Kan. He whipped me the other night and I decided to run away. I took the guns, some chewing gum and a suit case." The boy was locked up in the hold over. In the jail he wrote a letter to Mrs. Martha Mize, 223 Walnut street, Ottawa, Kan. He gave the letter to a fellow prisoner who was to be dis charged, the man promising to post it. Instead, he betrayed the boy, giv ing the letter to the turnkey, who turned it over to Edward Boyle, In spector of detectives. The letter read: In the Kansas City Jail, Aug. 30. Dear Mother: Come to Kansas City as quick as you can. Tell the police you came from Hutchinson and your name is Martha Martin, and your husband's name is Gus Martin and I am his stepchild.

HITS HIGHJLACES L. S. Naftzger, Wichita Banker, Faces Serious Charge. Claimed That He Helped Dis pose of Loot. CHIEF OF POLICE, TOO. Head of Wichita Department Is Under Fire. Accused Men Brought to To peka and Arraigned. United States District Attorney Harry J. Bone, In discussing the de velopment of the Kansas poetoffice robberies In which Chief of Police Frank S. Burt and Banker L. S. Naftz ger of Wichita are named, today said that Mr. Naftzger, who is accused of disposing of stolen postage stamps, will not be arrested for the present. John Callahan Arrested for Being the jjeaaer or a Gang or rostomce Rob bers. "After I have investigated the evi dence against him," Mr. Bone con tinued, "the case will be presented t the federal grand Jury September 12, if the facts warrant such action. "We have been making a strenuous effort to break up the gang that has been operating from Wichita, and at Wymore, Neb. The Wichita fence has existed for several years. "The fence is the thing that makes the postoffice robberies possible. With out a sure way to sell his stamps the yeggman is helpless; he doesn't dare to be taken with stamps -en his person. Whenever a rapid succession of post office robberies are noticed in any sec tion it is proof that the robbers har.j obtained a safe 'fence' through whicn postage stamps can be sold. There have Deen nearly a dozen postal robberies in' Kansas in the last three months and we expect to prove that many of the stamps have gone to Wichita." The five men arrested have been brought to Topeka to be arraigned be fore Commissioner Campbell. They are John Callahan, charged as being the "fence:" two of his alleged part ners, Ray Templeton and Edward .ari. charged as postoffice robbers, ana William Wilson ana jonn .cicKenruu, held on charges of passing counterfeit money. Wilson and Eickenrod are not connected with the case in which stolen stamps are said to have been sold in Wichita. TTnited States Marshal W. H. Mackey and Inspector John A. Elvin have for two or. three years insisted mat w iun ita contained a clever "fence" through which postoffice robbers and other criminals doing business in the terri tory surrounding this city were given aid in escapes and were enabled to dis pose of their stolen goods. Nine Robberies Since June. For several weeks Marshal Mackey and Mr. Elvin. postofflce inspector lo cated in Wichita, have been working hunt to develoD the case. i ne omcers were assisted in their investigations by A. M. Steadman, postoffice inspector lo cated at Salina. and K. s. uruer. post office inspector located at Hastings, Neh Since the first of June there have hpn noKtoffice robheries at is.anopoiis, Woodbine, Dorrance, Paradise. Hope, Ronanm. Burdick. Timken and Fred erick. all in Kansas. The. last robbery was nt Frederick, on August 17. From these robberies about $5,000 in postage stamps and over 7UU in money were nhtntned. The robbers were traced to Wichita, where many of their stamps were disposed of under circumstances which make the present capture sensa tinnal almost beyond belief. Ten rohher susDects are under arrest and several hundred dollars worth of unsold stamps nave Deen capiurea. Similar arrests have happened many times before in varioes parts of the TTnited States, and for tnis reason uiese circumstances do not constitute the sensational part of the story. A Sensational Accusation. The sensation Is in the fact that the federal officers accuse Li. Ss. Nattzger, president of the Fourth National bank nt Wichita, and a man of wide busi ness prominene in the southwest, of having received stolen stamps, tnus making it possible for the postofflce robbers to dispose or tneir piunaer. Although Mr. Naftzger has stated that the stamp sales he had made to other parties were made only in small amounts, there is claimed to be evi dence that one of his sales was made to Prof. H. "Samuels, the eye specialist, and that $1,192 worth of stamps were disposed of in that transaction. There are reports also that two other sales said to have been made by Mr. Naftz ger aggregated about $700. Another sensation developed in the fact that Mr. Naftzger received the stamps from Frank S. Burt, chief of police, who got them from John Callahan, who is the head of the gang and who has for years enjoyed a strange immunity in Wichita, where he has been recognized openly as a notorious criminal, and where he now operates a Joint known to the criminal element as "Callahan's Dump." Made Deal ith sir. unrt. The federal officials intimate that Chief Burt, in acting as a go-between from Callaaun to Naftzger was pur suing a deliberate course with their knowledge, the objeii being that Chief Burt by reason of the intimatj asso ciation, which could only be acquired in this way with the robbers, would be able when the time lor the government to strike its crushing blow arrived, to place his hand. unon all th; members of the gang. They say that Chief Burt's work with Callahan was in a large measure responsible for capturing the ten yeggmen whose arrests have been made. Mr. Mackey says he made a deal with M. Burt a year ago at the time he came to Wichita to inves tigate the shooting of two soldiers dur ing the 1909 Jubilee in this city. Frank S. Burt, Chief of PoUce of Wichita, Accused or Disposing oi Loot. The oDerations which have been go- ine on between Callahan and his gang and Chief Burt and Mr. Naftzger have resulted in disposing of something JiKe $5,000 in stamps during the past few months, according to estimates made hv the officers. This has made pofct office robbery a proiitable business fir the Callahan gang. The difficulty in postoffice robberies is not in getting Dossession of the stamps from postof flees where they are notably unpro teeted. hut in disnosinsr of the stolen goods under the watchful eye of the government. The situation created in Wichita was ideal for the Callahan gang. When an yeggman had robbed a postoffice he hurried to Wichita knowing that he was not going to be molested. He de posited the stamps with Callahan, who sent for Chief Burt, and Burt took the stamps to their market. The stamps were generally sold at about 75 cents on the dollar. The yeggman got about 50 cents on the dollar. How Detectived Worked.. For a long period the postoffice de partment has been vexed to solve th numerous robberies at tne posioinces in Kansas, and became convinced that the work was that of an organized gang. To John A. Elvin, a postoffice in spector, fell the burden of ferreting out the gang. Mr. Elvin immediately applied himself to the task of locat ine the headquarters of the gang, and set himself to the problem of solving the most important question of what was being done with the loot. Postal inspectors have a way of reasoning, always, that it does no eood to caDture inferior members of a gang, because the depredations win go on regardles oi the loss oi a man now and then by deatn or capture. They reason, however, that when the leader is caught, and tne system is broken up, that the lesser lights in the organization are then put out of business. In getting on the trail of the post office robbers, the postoffice depart ment did much studying. They watched the statistics of all the offices in the larger cities, and made careful comparisons of the stamp sales over various periods. They reasoned that if all of the stamps which were being stolen, were being used, that this ought to diminish the normal sale of stamps at the other of flees. With this idea the sale of stamps in Wichita was carefully observed, and the detectives believed that for the matter of stamped matter sent out, there was not enough stamps sold from the Wichita office. When this suspicion was confirm ed, the detectives began making a study of the under-world in Wichita. Every criminal knows, and every detective knows, that the actual com mission of theft is the simple part of the work, but that the real work con sists in disposing of the loot in such a manner as to avoid detection. It is in disposing of plunder in sufficient quantity to make its connection prof itable that tasks the ingenuity of rob bers. The postoffice department knows that its most effective warfare is not against the yeggs that do the actual violence to the primitive defense c many of the "marks'" throughout the country, especially in the sparsely set tled districts: but that the best way to fight depredations is to make it impossible to dispose of goods that are stolen. Watched Wichita Mall. The inspectors working on the mys teries of the robbed offices therefore did not spend their time in trailing the yeggs who travel about the coun try doing the actual work, but they worked on what they regarded as the "men higher up." The postoffice inspectors made a study of users of large quantities of stamps in Wichita, and informed themselves of the amount of mail sent out by various concerns. Among the largest users of the mails in Wichita is Prof. H. Samuels, who has a large correspondence with patients to whom he sells medicine for treatment of disease through the eyes. Inspector Elvin is said to lwtve made a study of the number of stamps used by th.is business office, and to have com pared this with the source of supply which was accounted for by postoffice informa tion. By skillful detective work it is stated that the postoffice official connect ed this concern with Mr. Naftzger of the Fourth National bank. From Mr. Naftzger the postoffice in spector kept on tracing the history of the large quantities of stamps until he con nected Chief of Police Burt with such property. Front Chief Burt to John Calla- n an it Is said to have been easier to ran- nect the chain of transactions. The men arrested are Dan Carney, Wil liam Carson and "Blank" Ryan, taken at Wymore, Neb., Frank Williams, Smith Wilson ana one omer arrested at Mays ville. Kan., and John Callahan. Rav Tem. pleton and Edward Earl, who were caught In Wichita by the federal officers. Callahan, Templeton, Earl.

Higgins has three more pitchers to bolster up his staff. One of these is Sam Hueston, the military school twirler, who was tried out by the Champs, but sent to Regina in mid season. He has been recalled. Trans portation is said to have been sent two unknowns and they are expected in camp at an early date. Manske, the pitcher turned loose by Jack Holland a short time ago is finishing the season with Hiawatha in the Eastern Kansas league. Four years ago he pitched Des Moines Into the pennant, and that for seventy-five bones a month. Sioux City has nurchased Outfielder Wooley and Shortstop Reilly of Cooley. wooiey win join the team in a few days, r Reilly will be turned overwhen wanted. Sioux City Tribune: This Is "Buck" Weaver's last year in baseball, accord ing to reports from Denver. The lengthy catcher ia afflicted with asthma. He says he will not attempt to play in 1811. Three members of the Denver club are expected to be in the THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE MOORE. majors next season, "Cozy" Dolan has been recalled by Cincinnati, and Pitcher Bchreiber and Shortstop Cran ston are likely to go to the big show. In the mad scramble for the flag this season the question is often asked. Does such and such a team want the pennant? It is a pertinent query. Sometimes winning pennants isn't pro- fitable to the club owners, especially if they continue ownership the fol lowing season. If a team lands second or even third and has made a hard fight all the way, fans as a rule, are as well satisfied as if the bunting came their way. If a club annexes a pen nant the same feat is expected the sue ceeding year, and if the team does not hold a high place in the race the games are poorly patronized. Sporting News: George Johnson, the Drummers' Indian pitcher, was) a member of the "varsity team at Car lisle one year. He was an outfielder. ine manager wouldn't give him a chance in the box, saying he was too young he was only 17 years old then. George was going to play foot ball there, but Bender, the Indian pitcher with the Athletics, advised him to stay off the gridiron if he intended to play professional ball. St. Joseph News-Press: Those Rourkes can't well afford to lose very often now, if the Drummers win, or Holland's boys will be nestling in fifth place at the head of the second division again. We believe that the Drummers have a fine chance to finish fifth. After this road trip ends they will be at home for the remainder of the season, providing that the Topeka series, which is scheduled there Sept. 18, 19, 20 and 21, Is transferred to St. Joseph. Cooley has been shifting series right and left, and Holland believes he will be more than glad to transfer to St. Joseph. The Drummers will have twenty-five games at home to wind up the season, counting the Topeka series transferred. Lincoln, Omaha, Topeka, Wichita and Denver will play final series here next month. St. Joseph Gazette: Roy Corhan is the unluckiest player in the league when it comes to making errors. It seems that every time he makes one it is costly and generally affects the out come of the game. Recently while on the road Corhan made a costly boot in a game and on the way back to the hotel he was. bemoaning his luck. "Why. Buddy," spoke up Tex Jones, "you don't want to look at it that way. Look at the bright side of things. Every time I boot a ball I don't get blue. I laugh and say to myself, "Tex, you're mightly lucky to be out here when you boot them that way. COLORADO E. BREAKS A RECORD Owner Estabrook Refuses Offer of $75,000 for Three-Year-Old. Readville, Mass., Sept. 1 Colorado E., the bay stallion owned by George H. Estabrook of Denver Colo., smashed the world's record for three-year-old trotters at the grand circuit meeting here by lowering the time of 2:06, made by General Watts at Lex ington, Ky., in 1907, to 2:064. By winning the second heat of the Ameri can Horse Breeders futurity in 2:07, he also made a new world's record for two consecutive heats. It was a most remarkable achieve ment, as the wind was blowing almost a gale in the face of the horses on the home stretch. Colorado E. reached the quarter In 32 second, the-one-half in l-.OShi and three-quarters in 1:33. Undaunted by the strong wind on the last quarter, the grand colt swept to the wire ten lensths .ahead in 2:06. With the pole, Colorado E. led all the way in the second heat, making- the time of 2:07. William G. Bradley of New Tork to day raised a previous offer of $50,000 for the three-year-old to $75,000, but Mr. Estabrook would not sell if Colo rado E. was to be driven by any other man in the race except Macey, and Mr. Bradley refused to accept these conditions.

Burgh, a special agent of the treasury department, has arrived here and ar ranged to transfer the Kansas and Oklahoma internal revenue office from J. M. Simpson, the present collector, to Fremont Leidy.,Leidy is expected here today. The arrival of the government official and the summary removal of Simpson created surprise. Simpson was asked-to resign July 27 and re fused to comply. He wanted to know on what basis his resignation was asked for, but received no satisfaction on this point. It was the plan to hold on until congress meets in December and the taking of the office out of Simpson's hands was unlooked for. Mr. Simpson has been collector eight years. There is no fixed term for the office. The office pays $2,800 a year. When Mr. Simpson was asked if he had tendered his resignation, he said: "No, I did not resign. I know of no legitimate reason why I should. The office ranks in grade number one. I was appointed revenue collector by President Roosevelt and unanimously confirmed by the United States senate and I do not owe either Senator Cur tis or President Taft anything politi cally. Revenue collectors are appoint ed by the president, by and with ad vice and consent of the senate and I fully expected the name of my suc cessor to be sent to the senate before its adjournment."

The Hungarian government is about to take steps to check the wnoiesaie emigration iu America of its more desirable citizens among the middle and lower classes, ac cording to Morris Cukor, a New Tork lawyer wno was some time ms ay pann ed legal adviser to the Austro-Hun p-arlan consulate in this city. So alarm ing has the emigration to the United States become in the view of the Hun garian authorities that Mr. Cukor was recently summoned to Budapest to con fer with Count Hedervary, the prime minister, regarding possible methods of stemming the tide. "Hungary must in self defense find some way of keeping its people," said Mr. Cukor. "Hungarians who have been successful in business over here have gone back and brought their relatives to the United states until a point nas been reached where the Hungarian gov ernment is feeling the drain upon a desirable class of citizens." "CHURCHES MUST STUDY." Secretary Justis Declares They Don't Know How to Work. "The churches of Topeka must study social conditions in Topeka," said Guy T. Justis, secretary of the Provident association, "if they expect to gain a foothold among the poor of the city. I believe they are -willing, but they don't know how to work to the best advantage. "It is the plan of the management of the Provident association to start a movement in the near future with the object of getting the churches and young people's societies interested in intelligent and systematic work among the poorer class" in Topeka. "Definite work will be offered to the church members and the young peo ple's societies and a training class will be established to teach the good peo ple interested in benevolent enterprises just how to go ahead in social work. The young people especially ought to study social problems. "In Buffalo the churches sign up an agreement with the charitable institu tions to be responsible for furnishing someone to take an interest in each needy family. "A meeting is called every two weeks for the purpose of getting all the workers together. A general dis cussion of methods takes place,". Secretary Justis is preparing a map of the city which shows the exact lo cation of the families which have been given relief since last November. The map shows that there are three sections of Topeka which have re quired an especially large amount of aid, including a part of the flooded dis trict of the North side, the section ly ing between Fifth street and the river and Kansas avenue and Adams street, and along the Shunganunga, on the East aide. being Santa Fe Watch Co. 106 W.

RAILROAD HEWS. Santa Fe Makes Test With Con crete Boadbed. Superintendent Tice Makes Local Exptrimtnts. SOLID AUD DURABLE. Railways May Adopt Universal Cement Crossing. Other Items of General Interest in Traffic World. If the ideas of H. A. Tice. superin tendent of the western division of the Santa Fe. work out successfully it is but a question of time until the rail road roadbeds, through the towns and cities will be made of 5on.cJee-ir i3 At this time Superintendent Tice is completing in Hutchinson. Kan., a large bed of cement just beneath the many tracks crossing a street in th s citv In this bed of concrete the su perintendent has placed the regulator, treated tie, on the ties the big lou o?nd rails with the famous screw BPIt said that this piece of roadbed and track construction is the most dur able and the smoothest in the country or along the lines of the Santa Fe. If the scheme put in practice by the division superintendent meets the re quVrements and stands the Pou"" and tearing of freight andtXT fhl trains together with s itcmng. the Santa Fe will investigate into a similar work all over the system. Bothered for many years with the Incessant grumbling on the part of the city officials of Hutchinson because the crossing at the street and track inter action was in bad shape and could not be maintained in good repair. Su perintendent Tice thought of the con crete crossing scheme. A solid bed. 12 inches thick was placed under the tracks, grooves made for the ties, and the track replaced All left for the Santa Fe to do is to make a thorough test of the road bed and see by practical experience if the scheme is a success. Every railroad has trouble with city street crossings-as well as road cross ings in the outlying districts. The pres ent practice is to lay planks between the rails or pave them. The former idea is the big bugaboo to the railways Horses stumbling and breaking their legs, continual wrangling with county end city authorities and constant re pair have made them a nuisance. In Topeka the city officials have pass ed ordinances and threatened arrest be cause the railway lines did not keep up their crossings according to the ordin ances. To maintain a crossing it is necessary to have a man on the Job at nil times and small usage will ruin them for public safety. But what are the railroads going to do The cities and the counties have offered no suggestions they sim ply holler for repairs. The Santa Fe, through the ideas of its division superintendent. H. A. Tice, has devised this concrete bed and it is believed that this will solve the mys tery it will be expensive to a railway in the beginning but cheaper in the end. Some railroad men are claiming that this concrete bed for the ties will ex tend to the roadbeds in the country as well as within city limits. They say that it will mean a big protection to the ties, will do away with the con stant ballast and roadbed trouble and will mean smooth and safe traveling for all trains. The old belief among railroad build ers was that a rather soft springy roadbed was necessary. They claimed that a stiff setting for the ties meant hard riding and dangerous travel. But with this concrete base a roadbed can be made level and smooth as well as solid and safe. Railroad men all over the country will watch with interest this test by the Santa Fe in Hutchinson. BRADFORD CAUGHT CAR THIEVES Santa Fe Special Agent of Topeka Captured Man and Wife. Olathe, Kan., Sept. 1. For several days Oscar Estes and his wife had been breaking into cars along the Kaw river. They had as the result of their illegal industriousness accumulated a large pile of various articles which they could sell for money. This pile of valuables they had covered with a tarpaulin in order to hide the stuff from view un'.il they could make away with it.

Glenn H. Curtiss of Hammondsport, N. established a new record for over water flight by traveling over Lake Erie, from Euclid Beach, nine miles east of this city, to Cedar Point. Ohio, approximately 60 miles distant. The announced time consumed in the passage was one hour and 18 minutes. His average time was 45 miles an hour, although one stretch of 20 miles was covered at the rate of a mile a minute. Curtiss used the eight-cylinder, fifty horsepower biplane of his own construction, in which ho made his recent flight down the Hudson river from Albany to New York. a special agent for the company, dis covered the pile of stolen goods and caught Oscar Estes and wife standing guard over it. RAILROADS FEEL COAL STRIKE. Soon Be Necessary for All "to "Use Crude Oil. Wichita, Kan., Sept. 1. The Mis souri Pacific railway is having a hard time to manufacture enough steam for the running of its trains. It has plenty of water to so into the boilers but scarcely enough coal to keep the fires going under the boilers. The difficulty arises from the coal miners strike in the eastern part of Kansas. This has been on for several months and practically all of the stored supply of coal has been con sumed by the Missouri Pacific. For three months this summer the officials of the road have been at their wits end to buy sufficient steam coal to keep their engines going. The Rock Island is said to be simi larly affected by the shortage of steam coal. Locally many of the manufac turing plants have been unable to get sufficient coal and are using oil or gas. The local coal men say that there is little likelihood of their getting stock ed up with furnace or steam coal be fore cold weather. The strike is still in force at the majority of the mines in eastern Kansas while supplies are light everywhere. The indications are that all kinds of coal will be higher this fall and winter. Some grades are already $1.25 higher than at this time last year. ROCK ISLAND IS IMPROVING. Hutchinson and Vicinity Get Two Gangs of Workmen. Hutchinson, Kan., Sept. 1. Two big gangs of workmen are busy on certain improvements which soon will be com pleted on the Rock Island in Hutchin son and vicinity. One of these im provements Is the reconstruction of the railroad bridge over the Arkansas river just west of the city and the other is the building of a driveway north of the freight warehouse and dock. The new driveway that is being con structed has been planned for a num ber of months. When completed it will be twenty feet wide and will ex tend from the east end of the freight office to Main street. The driveway will be made of broken stone and cinders. A number of car loads of material arrived in Hutchin son this morning and the job Is being pushed as fast as possible. It is ex pected to have the drive finished with in three weeks. For some time it has been difficult for drivers of teams to reach the freight dock in muddy weather. In the future the old trouble will be en tirely done away with. SANTA FE DECORATES FOR FAIR. Pueblo Procures Brilliant Electrical Display From Road. Pueblo, Colo., Sept. 1. W. D. Davis, assistant chief electrician of the Santa Fe system, has arrived in Pueblo and started the plans for an extensive decorative lighting scheme the Santa Fe will have on their general offices in the stone depot on Union avenue during the Irrigation congress and state fair. Seventeen hundred lights will be placed on the building and a huge trademark sign on the roof. Three hundred and fifty lights will be placed on the sign which will be ten feet square and which will be a replica of the familiar Santa Fe sign. The en tire front of the offices will be strung from ground to roof with lights and the effect will be a great addition -to the attractiveness of that portion of the city. Wiring will be started today and the work will be finished in ample time to try it out before the fair opens. See J. THOMAS LUMBER CO. fof lumber and DEWEY PORTLAND CE MENT.

Former Populist Leader Comments on Republican Platform. Taylor Riddle, candidate for railroad commissioner on the Democratic tick et, was in Topeka today, having at tended the party council which met yesterday. He was asked what he thought of the Republicans taking all of the old time Populist platform ex cept the subtreasury scheme, and usiug it for their platform in the campaign of 1910. "Well," he said, "I don't just under stand why they did this. I know that when I was state chairman, and these things were in our platform, some of the Republicans who are now ardently supporting them and advocating that they be in their platform, denounced us In unmeasured terms as cranks, calamity howlers, and destroyers of the credit of the state of Kansas, and especially as to that part of the plat form declaring for the recall. They said a man would never know when he was elected: that there would be no tenure of office, and, although elected, a man might be called back at any time. All these fears, however, seem to have vanished. "Some of the editorial writers who became famous by outdoing their as sociates in writing denunciatory edi torials about the Kansas 'Pops' and 'Calamityites' were the leaders in this movement to put all these things into the Republican platform of 1910. "Of course," continued Mr. Riddle, "as a man grows older in political war fare he should become more charitable. It is possible that these men believed these measures were right at the time they were denouncing us for advocat ing them, but then if the had sup ported them at that time they wouldn't have got the offices, and that seems to be one of the leading principles of the Republican partv of the present day; 'Get the offices; get 'em fair if you can, but get 'em.' It does make an old time Populist feel a little weary to think that after working for twenty years for principles that he believed to be for the good of the people, and for advocating which he was unmercifully persecuted by the Mandarins of the Republican party, he is to be robbed of what glory there might be in writing them into laws, to say nothing of tha pleasure of enjoying the emoluments mW4 :K3 K S Hay be permanently overcome by proper personal efforts with the assistance of the one truly beneficial laxative-syrup of Figs and elixir fSenna, which enables one to form regular habits daily, so that assistance to nature may be gradually dispensed with when ko longer needed, as the best of remedies. when required, are to assist nature and not to sup plant the natural functions, which hust depend ultimately upon proper nourishment, proper efforts and right living generally.

PIHCE SO A RTITTI lr MILES, of the offices while doing the writing.' "I think the Democratic platform de cidedly stronger than that of the Re publicans in one particular at least, that of the ballot reform. The princi ple of the Australian ballot is a crude imitation of some veT ancient meth ods of public expression. I am certain the people of Kansas do not believe that the principal attraction at the head of a voting column as an induce ment to vote that ticket should be a picture. Then again, voting a straight party ticket should not be encouraged. Often bad men are mixed up with good ones in party nominations and voting In the circle often carries into office men who would otherwise be defeated if the voter was required to mark each name separately for which he waa casting his ballot. A modified form of the Massachusetts ballot law which was adopted in the Democratic plat form and will become a, law in case of its success. I believe is the best form of ballot devised for political expres sion that has been put in use by any community. Then again one of the complaints of the primary ballot is that no provision is made for an independ ent voter, and as the Democrats be lieve that Independence In voting should be encouraged both in the pri mary and the election, they have ex pressed themselves as favorable to a change in both the primary and the election ballot, so that an independent vote will be as easy to cast as that of the party vote." "I suppose you think, of course, that the Democratic ticket will be elected?" "Yes. I believe it will. If the people of Kansas make up their minds that the Populist doctrine which has been advocated by the Democrats for years is to b enacted into law, that they would rather intrust the writing of them into the statute books of the state to the Democratic party than to the Republican party who are such re cent converts to this line of political thought."

It was the largest gathering that the vice president has faced on his tour ot tne soutnwest ana it responded heartily to his enuncia tion of party doctrine. No Time for Quarrels. "This is no time for quarrels in the party." declared Mr. Sherman. "It is no time for a division of feeling on this point or that. It is the time for Republicans to stand shoulder to shoulder in the fight against the com mon enemy." Just at this point the vice president made a third swift grab for a pestifer ous night-flying insect that had been playing tag with itself on top of his head. He captured it and exclaimed: "Now these bugs are pretty near as annoying as one of those 1877 green backers or a real-for-sure Kansas Populist." At another point in his address he was speaking of a period just before the election of Taft and he said: "There never was any doubt as to who would be elected. There never will be a doubt if Bryan is the candi date of the Democratic party." The crowd shouted. "In Iowa the other day," said the speaker, "Senator Cummins said there never had been a time when he was willing to intrust the destinies of the nation in the hands of the Democrats and that he felt, much more strongly that way at the present time." At the beginning of his speech the vice president complimented his hear ers on the splendid growth of Okla homa, on her prosperity, on her fu ture and then touched in a veiled way GUT GARDINER, Passenger Agent.

But just watch the manner in which the plague will be handled and checked by the Germans. No matter which party is successful in Kansas this fall. Its legislature will have to work overtime if all of the pledges in its platform concerning state questions are enacted into law. George S. Myers died In St. Louis the other day and left a few million of dol lars behind him. He did nothing more than to make a certain brand of chew ing tobacco famous. But this was something. The Republicans at Marshfield, Mo., have made known their presence on earth by launching a boom to make Vice President Sherman the next Re publican nominee for the presidency. Some people are always doing strange things to get themselves in the lime light. That it Is pretty hard work to break up a habit once formed is evidenced again by the recent arrest of General Jake Coxey at Massilon, O., for tres passing. General Coxey. it will be re membered, was arrested several years ago for trespassing on the capitol grounds at Washington, D. C. According to cable dispatches Dr. Crippen Is in collapse as well as in jail. And, by the way, what has be come of that theory of Hawkshaw Dew that the murder of Mrs. Crippen is a hoax cooked up by the doctor so that his wife can get a luprative Job on the vaudeville stage as soon as she sees fit to put in an appearance? Labor Day happens along on Mon day of next week. In name, this day Is a perfect paradox. It is the only week day in the year, under ordinary circumstances, when the workingmen Indulge In nothing that has any sem blance to labor. Still, taking part in a parade or devoting one's energies to a picnic is pretty hard work for many persons. Loura Jean Libbey, who is making a dash Into the realms of vaudeville, is nothing if not prolific. She has no less than sixty plays written and ready for presentation on the stage. And an other thing. Sister. Libbey has un bounded confidence in her ability as a playwright. Even the best of them would probably try out a few plays to Bee whether or not thev would be suc cessful before sitting down and writing Bixty. j A lot of fault is being found with the customs officials for the way they an noy passengers on the steamships which arrive in American ports in their search for dutiable goods. The other day they came across a rich woman who had a valuable pearl necklace sewed in her hat and which she was trying to smuggle in. It is just be cause this woman and otheVs of her kind seek to evade the law that all the honest travellers are subjected to dis agreeable inconveniences. With the Republicans, the Demo crats, the Socialists and the Prohibi tionists of Kansas all demanding the initiative and referendum, 'it looks as though this state ought to have legis lation along that line before many more moons have passed. Still, be tween party platforms and legislative enactment there is quite a gap. It is ao difficult to agree on details, you know. Everybody may be for a thing But generally everybody has a differ ent Idea as to how it should be brought about. And the result is that nobody gets it.x "The sense of humor is the 'saving sense' principally because it saves us from ourselves," says the San Fran Cisco Chronicle. "The person who can not laugh at himself now and then is to be pitied. Moreover, the person who can not take good naturedly the occasional bantering of others is in the same class of disagreeables. A well directed shaft of raillery will often find the vulnerable point in our armor of self-complacency and show ua where our self -satisfaction is all wrong. True humor, however, musrt spring as much from the heart as from the head. Its essence must be truth ahd friendliness,' not contempt. There never was a good Joke yet that told a lie or besmirched, a reputation. Humor which carries with It a sting to wr the sensitiveness or delicacy of one who does not deserve to suffer Is not true humor." THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM, After reading the platform adopted by the Democratic party council It may be pardonable to suggest that Barney Sheridan, of Paola, who presided over the deliberations of the council, mixed his' metaphor a bit when, in his opening address, he said that 'the Insurgent of today Is the Democrat of tomorrow. Rather would it seem that the Insurgent of today Is the Democrat of yesterday. For the Democratic platform takes es pecial pains to atate that several of the propositions now advocated by the Re publicans who are to the front in Kan sas today have been good old Demo cratic doctrine for years. Be this as it may, though, the Demo cratic platform is a strong and virile document, expressing terse but pointed views on the solutions of the questions which are pressing these days for set tlement. As was to be expected it ex presses condemnation of the manner in which the affairs of the state and na tion have been conducted by the rep resentatives of the Republican party. Outside of such criticism, it presents pledges to bring about much remedial legislation that can be commended. In deed, many of the planks In it are rep licas, almost, of similar planks In the Republican platform, although different ways to bring about the results aimed at are suggested. Take the matter of the control of public utilities, for In stance. The Republican platform urges that they be placed under a state com mission, and although it does not so state, the impression is left that this involves the doing away with the present railroad commission and substituting another commission in its place. This was the plan that was attempted by Gov. Stubbs and his friends In the last legislature. On this point the Demo cratic platform urges extending the power of the state railroad commission over all state-wide utilities. This is but another way of accomplishing a similar result although the Democratic plank does not seem to intend that purely lo cal public utilities shall be subjected to state control. It is evident from the Democratic platform that the state campaign of that party is to be waged on the main issue of the alleged extravagance of the Republicans now In control of state af fairs, and who, for the most part are candidates for re-election. This was the issue between the Republican fac tions in their hotly contested primary. It is to be the chief issue of the Dem ocrats, apparently, and so it may be cor rect to say that the Democrats of to day are the "regular" Republicans of a few days ago. Anyhow, it is evident that both par ties m Kansas are going to make their tight for good government. And this showa.that all Kansans, irrespective of party lines, are working in their own way for the best interests of the whole people of the state, and all of Its activi ties. I THE RATE FIXING PROBIjESI. The commission must consider the probable effect of its orders on rail road earnings, both because, as an ad ministrative body, it is its duty as much as that of the president, to use its authority to promote the public wel fare, and because the supreme court of the United States has held that rail ways cannot constitutionally be depriv ed of the right to earn a "fair return," writes Samuel O. Dunn In the Ameri can Review of Reviews for September in an article entitled "Ought the Rail roads to Advance Their Rates." The supreme court, in the Consolidated Gas company case, indicated that 6 per cent Is the minimum to which a public ser vice corporation can be restricted. Just what return the interstate commerce commission regards as the maximum which in the interest of public expedi ency railways should be allowed to earn, it has never said, but In its or iginal opinion in the recent Spokane rate case, it did express the view that the net earnings of the Northern Pa cific and Great Northern, which for five or six years had averaged from 12 to 15 per cent, were excessive. The rates of all competing railways must be the same; otherwise all the competitive traffic will go to the road whose rates are lowest. But the 'net earnings of competing roads vary wide ly; in the same territory there are found roads which are earning 20 per cent and others that are earning noth ing, or perhaps 2. 3 or 4 per cent. Now, if the commission reduces a rate it re duces the- earnings of the weak as well as of the strong competing lines; and if it permits a raise of rates the earnings of the strong as well as of the weak lines will be increased. The commission has repeatedly said that where the earnings of an entire group of roads will be affected by its order, it must take into account the entire situation; it will not reduce rates be cause the earnings of some one road or roads in a group are high nor re frain from reducing them because the earnings of some road or roads are al ready low. DECORATE FOR THE FAIR. This is a suggestion thrown out to the business men and people of To peka by Mr. H. L. Cook, secretary of the Kansas State Fair association. And like all of Mr. Cook's suggestions, which are going to be responsible in the main for the great success that the state fair is going to be in all particulars, it Is a mighty good one. With favorable weather conditions J and H is understood that the weather man una oeen nxea to deliver the goodsr there will be thousands of visi tors to Topeka during the fair week. There are any number of things in and about the city which will show these visitors that Topeka is a fine city, a good place to live in and do business. But attractiveness can be added to the town if the merchants and the business men will decorate their buildings. Not only will the decorations be pleasing to look at, but they will show the visitors that Topekans are wideawake and up and doing. State fair week is going to be a gala occasion. Every possible thing should be done to put it in that category, to make It a most memorable occasion, to make the visitors feel glad they came and to make them want to come again, Decorations on the buildings on the business streets will help out a whole lot. Most of the business men have flags and bunting stored away for use on special occasions. This state fair is certainly going to be a big one. And the decorations should be placed where they can be seen. It won't take much time or money or labor to put them out. Let It be done. JOURNAL ENTRIES The ideal lover is. usually- worthless for anything else. People who enjoy their own society often have a difficult time In getting the chance to do so. Tour friends are not interested to the extent you imagine in long dissertations on how you are feeling. Many a woman considers it great luck to be out when some of .her par ticularly "dear" friends call.

JAYHAWKER JOTS A mustard plaster may be depended upon to do something smart, says the Atchison Champion. "It is all right to stop and think," says Verd Napier of the Blue Mound Sun, "but it is better to be able to think without stopping." "Drag the streets and cut the weeds" admonishes the Garden City Telegram, and it is good advice for the people of all other towns besides Garden City. The White Cloud Globe is advertised for sale Commenting on the fact tha Wathena Times says: "The editor is now in the undertaking business, and he will have the last say with his former delinquent subscribers." "I don't object to a girl' chasing "a, man if he doesn't try to get away from her," says Tom Thompson. "But no modest girl will chase a man who is trying to get away." Our staff physiognomist, saya the Wichita Beacon, after a careful study of Dr. crippen's features as they ap pear in the newspapers, declares that the doctor was intoxicated when he had his whiskers shaved off. He may have premeditatedly killed his wife, but he never ordered a clean shave when in his right mind. "A hundred times," says Bert Wal ker, "I have buckled on my sword and gone forth to battle for some fellow. Then in a few days when I had a big fight of my own on hand I would look across the way and see that same fel low lined up with the enemy and fight ing like a Trojan." Nor is Brother Walker alone in his experiences of this sort. A farmer brought five ears of corn to Atchison the other day to show. "It's fine." a reporter for the Globe commented. "Oh, I've got better than that," replied the farmer. Thereupon the Globe man took the matter up with the Lancaster Literary society, and at its next meeting the members of that organization will debate this question: "When a farmer brings five ears of corn to town to show, doesn't he bring the best he can find?" GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe.J A man might as well be an infidel as to oppose Teddy. Old fish are about as good to eat as old women are good to kiss. If you go to church and like the singing better than the preaching, that's not orthodox. There Is a whole temperance sermon in the saloonkeeper's advertisement for a sober barkeeper. There is quite a difference between fore sigh and worry; part of it is that the for mer is mighty scarce. A four flusher, considering his ability to turn failure into victory, has. never been fully appreciated. Next to the coroner's verdict, the com mittee's report is about as unimportant as anything you can think of. When a man is talklmr as unfair as a man can talk, he always says: "Why not hear both sides? Why not he fair?" When a woman doesn't care to slave to keep her house immaculate, she says of a woman who is: "She Is nasty clean." It la the proud boast of an Atchison woman that her husband can make a bet ter prayer than any preacher she ever heard. Doc Robinson, town drunkard and horse doctor, never worries. We sometimes think a little worry would do Doe good. "God knows," we often hear people say. "I have trouble enough already. And usually the poor devil tells the truth. "Poor as I am, I always feel important when I receive a bank advertisement through the mail," an Atchison man said the other day. After a man's business has been losing steadily for a year or two, it is as sure to go to bankruptcy as a man Is sure to reach old age. A woman likes a "great masterful man" fyou read about that kind in novels); she likes to show the world that she can boss him. It frequently happens that the man who hurls defiance at his enemies, hurls it from such a safe distance that he knows it won't land. The only advantage a private detective has over the umpire is that the private detective works in secret; he Is hated just as cordially.

The stories of the big fees extracted from the Indian tribes are greeted with much condemnation by a people who have robbed the Indians at every turn. From the time of the discovery of the western hemisphere by Mr. Columbus down to the days of Senator Gore the red men have been treated as if they had no rights that white men were bound to respect. Columbus kidnaped Indians and was rewarded with titles and honors. Thi English colonists in Virginia took the red man's lands and broke treaty after treaty as soon as more was needed. The Puritans who settled in New Eng land robbed the original inhabitants right and left. The Dutch cheated them in the deal for Manhattan island. The good Quaker William Penn, author of a popular cigar, skinned the natives although he was so smooth about it that they did not know it and called him their friend. From the time of the organization of the government it has always been the policy to take the In dian reservations and open them for settlement whenever the land was needed, regardless of what the Indians wanted or thought. Originally all of this country belonged to the Indians. Now they are down to a few reserva tions and the white man is getting these as rapidly as possible. After the Indian has been robbed of a continent and has nothing much left, here comes a holler about "robbing the Indian.'V Of course it Is wrong to take the In dian's land, to work him for extortion ate fees, to cheat him with bad blank ets and poor grub, but it is a little Iat3 to begin the outcry when Lo the Poor Indian has lost all his possessions ex cept a few claims against the govern ment and an equity in Oklahoma.

THE EVENING STORY A Solitary Picnic (By Clarissa Mackie.) ,The wide piazza of the farm house was deserted save for Helen Rogers swaying gently in the' hammock near the door. The entire household had gone to a clambake three miles dis tant; buxom Mrs. Blake, the farm er's wife; her maid servant, and all the summer boarders had rumbled away in two large hay wagons at 11 o'clock. Helen had stoutly refused sacrifice on the part of her mother and sister. If her sprained ankle forbade her to take the jolting ride to the clambake she could enjoy herself quite as well in the hammock with her books and needle work. She was not afraid. Ponto, the big collie, was her slave and the day would soon pass. When the last wagon had rumbled away and she had cheerfully waved her handkerchief as long as the pic nickers remained in sight, Helen picked up her book. But her eyes strayed from the open page to the cool shadows on the grass under the drooping elms; to the distant sunlit fields where the men were garnering a belated hay crop, and with a little sigh of contentment lingered on the preparations that had been made for her comfort. A small table at her elbow held water pitcher and glass and a bottle of lime juice, Ned Freer had dropped a tempting box of chocolates within her reach, someone else had brought magazines, her mother had laid a gray shawl across her pretty little foot, its slender ankle now swollen beyond belief. Farmer Blake had propped his cane against the door jamb and Mrs. Blake had packed a little basket of lunch in order that the invalid might enjoy the flavor of picnicking if nothing more. An hour passed. The night before had been a painful one with many wakeful hours. Helen's book dropped from her fingers, her lips closed. In her white gown, there was no color about her Just a tinge or rose in the delicate lips and the blue-black luster of her hair. The tall clock in the dining room chimed noon and the long hands swung around to the half hour. Bees tumbled in and out of the hbllyhocks. a humming bird poised trembling above the honeysuckles. These were all the sounds save a cautious step on the grass. Ponto lifted his nose and sniffed as a vountr man approached the house, scanning the many windows with a swift, searching glance. He mur mured some words to the aroused dog and Ponto's head went down on its towsy paws. The man paused on the top step and stared at Helen Rogers, asleep in the hammock. With a sharp in drawn breath the stranger turned his eves awav from the sleeping girl and laid his hand on the knob of the screen door. Ponto growled, the clock struck the half hour, and as if watching for these signals, Helen's dark eyes opened suddenly on the vision of a dusty, travel stained youth about to enter the empty rarmnouse. She sat upright with a stifled cry, and he withdrew his hand from the knob. He faced tier. "What do you want?" she de manded. "I er really, must I explain my errand?" "Of course." Helen's voice was crisp and did not harmonize with her soft eyes and winsome face. "Of course you must explain whom you wish to see. You have no right to enter the house." "I won't argue that question with you," he said firmly. "As a mat ter of fact, I shall enter the house now and give my credentials after ward." He stretched forth a -hand to the knob. Helen tossed aside the shawl and swung out of the hammock. Her left hand grasped Farmer Blake's cane and held it across the door, bracing her self against it. Her injured foot barely touched the floor. "Don't you dare to touch that cane," she cried. His low laugh defied her. "Sort of 'enter if you must, but it will be across my dead body' is it really worth all this fuss?" A little angry light gleamed in his blue eyes and he took the cane and very gently withdrew it from her grasp. With a cry of pain Helen tottered, and her weight falling on her sprain ed ankle crumpled her into a white, motionless heap on the floor. "Oh, by Jove! What have I done now I didn't guess the child was hurt! Plucky little girl!" He bent down and lifted her carefully into the hammock. "Gee, a sprained ankle no wonder she fainted away." He picked up the bottle of lime Juice, eyed it critically and then poured some on a handkerchief. He mopped her forehead with the sticky mess and some of its pungent Juice trickled into her eye and brought her to consciousness. He poured out a glass of water and held it to her lips. "I'm very sorry you see, I didn't know you had a bad foot. Do you feel better now?" He replaced the glass on the table and leaned against the porch pillar, looking down at her with friendly eyes. Helen with a swift upward glance noted that the intruder's face was not a villainous one; indeed, there was an air of en gaging frankness about the dark blue eyes. "What makes you do it?" she asked suddenly. "Do what?" "Burgle for a living. It's so wrong, you know. A man as big and strong as you are should work." A quiet smile curved his lips. "But you see I do work. As a matter of fact I'm a Jolly old grind you see I'm a doctor Interne at the the Civic hospital and "You must know Mrs. Blake's son oh, dear, of course you are Jack Blake!" Helen's face was crimson now. i "At -your serviec." he said, with a sweeping bow. "You can't blame me for the mis take," returned Helen saucily. "You certainly are a suspicious looking character." He glanced down at his dusty blue clothes and rumpled his hair into worse untidiness. "I don't know what's got into the village not a vehicle of any sort at the station nor on the road. Lost my straw hat climbing a fence and a hungry cow bit into the crown, so I let her have the rest of it. It s a hot, dusty walk from the station to Locust farm three miles!" He looked appealingly at the lime Juice, and at Helen's quickly voiced invitation he prepared himself a cooling drink. "Have some?" he asked, holding out the glass. "No, thanks. I'll Just remove this from my face and then you may share my lunch. Everybody's gone to the clambake and I was keeping house alone." i "I forgot to explain that I wanted to get in and surprise mother; she wasn't expecting me until next week." He brought her a basin of water from the kitchen and a clean towel and watched admiringly as she removed the traces of his restorative. "Is lime juice one of your reme dies?" she asked. "I use whatever is at hand you should be thankful it wasn't ink." "I am," said Helen demurely. "Now, let us have lunch your mother has prepared a picnic basket for me but wait you will want to join the clam bake. They are to serve it at 1 o'clock, and if you hurry you will be in time. I know they left Brownie in the stable, 'and there is the Beach cart." "No, thanks," said Dr. Blake with emphasis. "We'll have our picnic here, and then perhaps when It is cooler I may drive you down to the beach so we may come home with the folks. I've been to plenty of clambakes but this Is the first time He did not finish the sentence nor did Helen need any explanation of his meaning. In silence he deftly laid the little table for two and then sitting down smiled across its breadth. "Oh, I forgot I'm Helen Rogers. We have been here since June. Moth er says she shall come every -summer." "And you?" "I suppose I shall, too." "I'm sure you will." said Dr. Jack In his slow drawl. There was strength and purpose and an underlying tone of authority in his voice; the color flickered in Helen's cheeks and her eyes evaded his and looked over into the sunlit fields. But wherever she looked the saw nothing else save the deep, steady glance of his friendly eyes, so her glance wandered back to his and met his smiling gaze. (Copyrighted 1910 by Associated Literary Press.) A Free Churcn. Mr. Canalejas was doubtless right in saying the other day that the re actionary clericals who signed the manifesto against the Spanish govern- men did not comprehend the meaning of modern liberty. The same reproach might with scarcely less propriety be directed against many others, and we are not so sure that Mr. Canalejas and his colleagues, admirable as their attitude is in many repects, would be found entirely immune. Certainly the conception of liberty, particularly between the state and church, which has long been a commonplace in America, seems to be little compre hended, or, at. any rate, not practical ly applied by even the liberal and ad vanced governments of Europe. "A free church in- a free state" was Cavour's ideal, and his expressive phrases have been the order of the day of many liberal statesmen and parties ever since in Italy, France, Spain, and elsewhere. In -a measure, no doubt, progress toward the attainment of that ideal has been made more free from ecclesiastical influences. But in France, Waldeck-Rousseau did not, and Mr. Briand today does not, aim fairly at complete divorcement- of church and state; nor does Mr. Canale jas in Spain. The church is still to be subsidized by the state, or it is to be subject to state supervision and con trol; there is still to be a minister of public worship; the liberty which pre vails here is unknown and unsug gested. Perhaps it would be impracticable, at least for the present. The tradi tions and legacies of centuries of or ganic relationship between church and state are not to be got rid o' in a day. We started our national course prac tically free from any such handicap. In that respect we had and have a great advantage over European countries, which must be taken into just consid eration when we contrast their clerical problems with our immunity there from. But it may at least be hoped that the real meaning of modern liber, ty, the meaning of the American sys tem of complete separation of state and church, with its confessed and in disputable advantage to both, will gradually and irresistibly dawn upon the European mind until it trium phantly prevails.- Surely there is no European statesman, perplexed with interminable "clerical problems," who does not envy the freedom of the American state from all such compli cations; and we believe there are few observant prelates in the Old World who do not perceive that greater free dom, greater prosperity, and greater real power are enjoyed by the church here than it possesses or can hope to posses in European lands under any of the systems which prevail there. New York Tribune. Many Rare Shakespeares. The first four folios of Shakespeare from the library of the late Dr. Gott, bishop of Turo, which sold at Sothe by's, in London, the other day for $14,780, are the same copies which realized SIS, 250 at the original sale in the same auction rooms of Bishop Gott's literary treasures in March, 1907. At that time the four folios were bought in by the Gott family, presumably because the bidding did not go as high as expected. The four folios at this recent sale were disposed of by the bishop's son, W. M. Gott. It is said that the falling off In the public market value of these Shake spearian copies of the first folio have appeared in the present book auction season. It was only a few days ago that a first folio sold at Sotheby's for 110,000, the same copy a few years previously realizing in the same rooms S12.200. The record price for a first folio. London, 1823, is $18,000, obtained at Sotheby s three years ago fcr the Van Antwerp copy. Although the edition is believed to have consisted of 600 copies, of which 200 survive, less than 20 copies are perfect. Bishop Gott's copy, slightly imperfect, brought $9, 000, or one-half as much as the Van Antwerp copy. The Gott second folio. London, 1632, wnicn also had a few imperfections, fetched SI. 050. The bishop's- copy of the third folio was the interesting and vary rare va riation bearing-the 18 imprint, and, as originally issued, without the por trait and the seven spurious plays, al though these latter had been inserted. Many collectors consider this as equal in rarity to the first folio. It brought $4,350. The fourth folio, printed In 1685, realized S80.

Chicago, Sept. 1. When the inter state commerce commission rate hear ing was resumed today F. O. Melcher. second vice president of the Rock Island system, continued his testimony. Questioned by W. F. Dickinson, attor ney for the road, Mr. Melcher said the estimate of wage increases to which he testified yesterday was substantial ly correct. From 1906 to 1910, he said the increase was $1,451,800 as based on an estimate of the increases grant ed organized labor. Replacing old rails with new. Mr. Melcher said, constitutes another heavy expense. "When the Rock Island replaces an 80-pound rail with one of a hundred pounds," he said, "a charge of $1,134 per mile is put vgainst the capital ac count of the road. When that 100 pound rail is worn out and replaced by a rail of the same weight the charge of renewal. $2,100 a mile, goes Into the operating expense." A pension system, put in operation at the beginning of this year, he said, costs the road $2,000 a month. Re verting to the cost of maintenance, Mr. Melcher said: "The Rock Isiland should spend and continue to spend $1,450 a mile each year. In the hard times year we spent only $1,011 a mile." The annual budget for permanent improvements, he added, is based on what Is most needed. "Last year the budget was $6,000. This-was-etrt in -two.- I should say that the amount culled for In the budget each year are usually cut in two. He placed the total value of the Rock Island at $404,000,000. Attorney F. 13. James of Cincinnati, representing the shippers, cross ex amined the witness as to the value of the road. Tlw latter said his figure was based on a valuation of $40,000 per mile.

"Do you want to make him out a liar?" asked the court. "No, but I want to know what he knows." "Our accountant has the figures you want and is here to produce them," said Mr. Melcher. Further in the cross examination the witness said he believed the In stallation of the pension system now in effect on the Rock Island would tend to make better employees of the roads.

Judge Lewis in the federal court this morning, refused to grant the injunction asked for by holders of bonds of the Denver Union Water company against the holding of an election on September 6, for the purpose of issuing $8,000,000 in bonds for the construction of a municipal wa ter plant.

An interesting case, a reminder of an interesting will filed in the probate court of Shawnee county a few months ago, appeared in the district court this morning, its purpose being a friendly one of carrying out one or tne provi sions of the last testament of Charles Oehms. an eccentric Topekan who died this summer at his home at 715 Chest nut street. The suit was filed by Isaac Moore, who lives near the corner of Madison and Crane street. Dr. H. H. Keith, administrator of the estate, and several relatives of the late Mr. Oehms are named as defendants. The petition asks that the title to the prop erty on which Moore lives be cleared and that he be given a clean deed to it. The attorney for Mr. Moore ex plained the occasion of the suit, which was not evident in the petition. The Oehms estate included several pieces of property in Topeka, several of the tenants having been in continuous pos session for a long period of time. When he died Mr. Oehms declared that every one of his tenants who had lived for longer than three years continuously in one of his houses should be given ac tual possession of the property by deed. Moore has lived in his present home for about six years and there fore is entitled to complete possession under the Oehms will. His suit now is to have confirmed his title in the property bequeathed him by his for mer landlord. USES NAME OF ANOTHER MAN. 11. C. AVelch Has for Alias the Cogno men of an Illinoisan. Deputy Sheriff Bennett Judkins, who returned from a trip to Parsons, where he placed Charles Reed, an insane pa tient from Rossville, now is absent again on his way to Manhattan :o -ring back H. C. Welch, arrested there on a charge of forgery. Welch's prose cution is being conducted largely on the initiative of the Union Pacific rail way for it is an employee of that corn- pany that he is said to have offended. Not long since Welch was arrested in Riley county on an embezzlement charge of small proportions, being taken to Clay county. In the course of his examination in the Jail a check was found, purporting to be an order on the Junction City First National bank to pay $50 from the personal account of J. A. Hubert. Hubert Is an agent of the Union Pa cific at one of the small stations be tween Topeka and Junction City. In vestigation proved me cnecK to ue worthless and the forgery charge re sulted That Welch, whose alias is Ralph W. Laws, the real name of an Illinois Central operator in Clinton, 111 Is an old offender is the belief of the railway and county officers. He will be placed in jail here to await ex amination. DRY GOODS DAMAGED. Water Plays More Havoc With The Warren M. Crosby Stock. This morning at 5 o'clock, W. W. Whitney, manager of The warren M. Crosby Dry Goods Co., received infor mation from the store that the steady downpour of rain had started many new leaks in the store building now being remodeled and tnat tne mgnt force of five men were unable to cope with the situation and protect the stock of goods. Mr Whitney called an tne neaas of the departments, the porters and every available man and hurrying to the store round damaging nine rivu lets trickling from shelf and counter into the main aisles where great pools of water stood. All morning long the large force of clerks and employes were kept busy sweeping, bucketing and mopping the water from the big department store. One side, tne norm room, wnere the wash goods, domestics and linen goods are kept, was closed temporarily until the water, the fallen plastering and the wet and damaged goods could be removed. J. T. Bell turned carpenter wniie ne bored holes in the floor to let the wat er through into the basement. The force of clerks are kept busy moving the stock, displayed, from one shelf to another, from counter to counter and in covering with canvass and rub ber to protect it from the leakage. It requires more than patience to cope with tne conditions causeu uy the Inclement weather in at Warren M.'s. Hopefulness for the tuture when the big store will be completed and remodeled, inspires the manage ment to keep on working. The enormous stock of goods held in reserve in the basement was not so badly damaged as tne gooas on the main floor. Even there bolt after bolt of rich satin, silks, woolen goods, purchased for the fall and winter trade are slightly damaged. The loss sustained throughout tne long spell of wet weather will be great however, and bargains will De found at Warren M. Crosby's in a few days. READY TO HEAR MARTIN. Preliminary for National Guard Cap tain Set for Tomorrow. The case filed at the request of the attorney general of state against Cap tain Guy R. Martin of Clay Center, an officer in the Kansas National Guard, charging giving liquor to a minor, is set for preliminary hearing in the court of Topeka, September 2. The charge is based upon liquor drinking said to have been done on the avia tion field in June, last, when National Guardsmen did duty in handling the crowds which gathered there. Martin is charged as having actually given whisky to minor boys, although his own statement and that of others fairly familiar with the circumstances is that the liquor in question was sent to the grounds as a present to the boys who had done night and extra service. Martin is expected to be here tomorrow to appear in court. There is a possibility that postponement may be taken as the court is rushed with work. BOOM FOR HOKE SMITH.

In the probate court this afternoon ia being conauciea me ewumuauun of Mrs. Minnie Kettering by a lunacy commission upon an application tor her admission to the state hospital for the insane at Topeka. A rather pe culiar combination of circumstances make the present examination neces sary as she once before has been an inmate of an institution of this sort in this state, the Parsons asylum, and she has not been regularly discharged as cured. At sometime after Mrs. K.ettering s former committment to the i-arsoT3 institution she was released fey paroie and returned home to be looked after by her children. She continued at home by this arrangement until the return of her disorder made her care difficult in the- family and a request to the state board of control for a transfer to the Topeka asylum was granted. Her temporary improvement at that time prevented her actually being taken to the Topeka asylum and after thirty days the authority of the order lapsed. But she had been or dered discharged from the Parsons asvlum so that now she has no legal right to admission to either without a new examination.

ALL CASES ARE CONTINUED. One Side or the Other Responsible for Court Session Condition. Continuances were taken, at the re quest of one or the other side, in all the criminal cases set for hearing in the court of Topeka this morning. Judge E. R. Simon, who returned from a three weeks' vacation last night, appeared at the court house ready for business and looked over a full docket which he hoped to clear up before night. The first case called was that against Felix and Wesley Dotson on a charge of highway robbery. The next case was to have been the preliminary hearing of Nan Ewing and George Stovall on the charge of the murder of Joseph Rice, an old soldier, who died after an overdose of morphine taken at the Ewing house in the "Bot toms," several weeks ago. The Ewing woman and stovall are charged as hav ing given the morphine with the in tent to stupefy the old man, while they robbed him of his pension money. The failure of Dr. J. M. Amis, who was called before the old man died, to be present necessitated another postpone ment. The case against John Newman, on a charge of attacking a little girl, is being heard this afternoon, having been continued from this morning's session. Drowned in Fox River. Oshkosh, Wis., Sept. 1. The body of Frank Tucker, assistant attorney gen eral of the state of Wisconsin and candidate for the Renublican nomina tion for attorney general at the pri mary election to be held Tuesday, was taken from the Fox river here this morning.

Last year for the same period permits issued at the office of the fire chief aggregated- upwards of half a million dollars.

Pattison, has turned in his annual report to the city commissioners. It reveals nothing startling in city affairs and is com posed of hundreds of pages of figures and facts.

Will Hold First Fall Meeting Friday Night. HECK AND MARSHALL. German's Plan for Both to Win Glory. Other Items of Interest in the First Hard. The paving of North Quincy street, from the river to Garfield park, prob ably will be discussed at the meeting of the Civic club tomorrow night. The club, according ;to the talk lately,, may recommend to the city commissioners that this street be paved. With J. B. Billard, who is president of the club, as mayor of the city, and M. C. Holman, one of the active mem bers of the club, as one of the commis sioners under Billard, it looks that North Quincy street should get its share of paving in a reasonable time. It is probable that the old GrantviHe road graveling, which has been thresh ed out several times at the meetings of the club last spring again will come up. In addition to this the proposition t afford surface drainage to the North side likely will come up. A plan has been proposed by V. R. Parkhurst. It is hoped that some way may be de vised and executed tq relieve the flood ed condition of the north part of the i- irst ward' after hard rain storms. The present sewer system seems inadequate to carry off the superfluous water. For the first time in several weeks the whistle of- the Western Woolen mills blew at 7 a. m. and the mill hands assembled for work. It is' said that there are enough orders ahead to keep the mills busy for some time to come. The funerals of John B. Marshall, leader of Marshall's band', and of Prof. Lewis Heck, a Topeka musician, both of which were held Wednesday, recall an incident concerning them. Before Marshall's band began to win laurels Prof. Heck had an organisation of horn blowers which was gaining consider able fame. However, the former or ganization began to get away with more glory than Heck's boys. This worried the professor considerably and he studied a long time to think of a way to regain lost ground. Finally one day he went to the North side, hunted Marshall up and said: "We are both great musicians anil have fine bands. I will tell you a way by which we both; can become- famous. Let's combine out" bands. I will be di rector and you may be leader." However. Mr. Marshall couldn't see how one man could be director, the other leader and-both become famous, so the plan fell through. Heck's band gradually disbanded. i ,,N6te awA Personals. Mrs. J. 0!..

Dear Old College Days. II. (CROSS SECTIONS OF SCHOOL LIFE.) "The end of the first week found me well launched in my work at the of fice and in college. Every newspaper has its own style as to punctuation, etc., as well as doing things, and it took some time to adapt myself to the change. I had never worked outside of the office in my home town before. "The greatest difficulty was to do the mental quick-change act and switch my mind from class and study to setting type and puzzling out coun try correspondents scribbling which when deciphered sometimes read like this: 'John Jones went to Lawrence to day and visited in that Metropolis. What is the attraction Ha, ha.' "When I first went to work I was told that I would have to set Tal madge's sermons which appeared in the paper of the very religious town, but I found out that was a joke as the sermons came already set up in plate forms. This was one of the foreman's pet jests. He was one of the best natured men I ever knew and stood for all kinds. of breaks from me. The editor-did not altow him to smoke, a favorite habit with the F. M., but he did so when the editor was away, keeping close watch on the door of the 'editorial rooms' and snuffing out the cigar and stuffing it in his pocket when the man's step .was heard. "I spoke about the foreman's good nature. He was one man who could operate an old-fashioned Washington hand press three hours and not lose his temper. Any old time printer will now realize his beautiful character. "However, there was one thing that got on all of our nerves. "Our office got out the college pa per. The staff of the sheet, with great importance, would assemble in the composing room, discuss the policy of the paper as well as class politics and other school affairs. Their talking annoyed us all but as they were well-meaning-youths we put up with lots of it before hinting them away. A Sailor-Printer-Student. "One of the boys who worked in the office was especially interesting. He was a good printer and a little of ev erything else. He was working his way in the college and specializing in English. He was red-headed. One day he remarked to the foreman: "I have a notion to write an article about the inland se. of Japan.' 'What do you know about the in land sea of Japan Do you know there is such a thing?' asked the foreman. 'I ought to,' replied the red-head. 'I worked and sweltered on its banks for a week one time. "I don't doubt I it now. I learned that he had run off to sea and had been in nearly every country on the globe. He called himself David W. Haaen. Only a few knew where his home was or anything about him. I have heard that he is now in newspa per work in Oregon. I know that he will make good." -"Selling Bibles." "At Baldwin his great delight was to snocK people. One day he was seen walking on the outskirts of the town by a company of grave seniors. 'What are you doing here?" they asked. "'Oh, I am selling Bibles,' was the reply. "Another interesting student at Baker was a Chinaman of the higher class. He was always dressed in native cos tume, but was as bright as the prob verbial button. A Japanese girl, who was also there, dressed in the Ameri can costume. I .imagined that she looked homesick and sad. I wanted to get acquainted with her, but lacked courage to introduce myself or to ask for-; an introduction. Perhaps she .was more cheerful than she acted and' my sympathy was wasted. It generally is. "Speaking about the college girls. I 'got in bad' with a bunch of them my first school week. I was so worn out by the end of the week that I retired early Saturday night. I was awakened by sounds which I thought were made by cats discussing politics. However, it was the 'cli-o, cli-o, cli-one-i-yun yell given by the girls of the Clionian soci ety as they were on their way home from the society. Being half asleep I made the fatal error. I mentioned the supposed cats to some boys. They re alized my mistake, but immediately told the Clionian girls about it. The ladies all said I was 'a horrid thing' and nev er did forgive me. "Oh, well, it will all be the same a hundred years from now." Bill Black. (To be continued). EXIT THE STRAW HAT. Will -Not Be the Tiling to AVear One Now. Died twelve o'clock last night, Mr. S. Traw Hat. Cause of death was the intervention of Father Time and the fatal nagging of Dame Fashion. Mr. Hat was considered seriously ill the first of the week and by yesterday noon he was given up. The last few hours of his life were spent with pain and misery and at the stroke of twelve the faithful servant who has been "with us" so loner exnired. S- Traw Hat came to Topeka the first of June and was here for several days before recognized by the teneral populace. He was on the verge of inaKing a sweeping acquaintance in the city when the weather nhni.H and he disappeared as mysteriously as lie uaiiie. It was several days before Hat re turned to the citv and on the streets He was seen at times in the clothing store windows and on the hat racks out retirea instantly. ADout the first of July A. S. Traw Hat came again. This time he came with a rush and with the blowing of ii uuiycu sua me opening oi the soda fountains. He visited all parts of the city and was seen at every corner on every street, i-iis popularity was grow ing and he was welcomed by all. Topeka was not the only city that honored Hat. He visited every city in this country and in other countries and in every case he was the crown leader of them all he crowned the heads of the rich as well as the poor The little boy with his fishing pole and his can of worms was a friend of S Traw Hat, The millionaire In his motor car would have no other mem ber of the hat -family with him he couldn't do without S. Traw. At ball games S. Traw swarmed the grandstand, he stood guard over thou sands of perspiring brows and he shut out the heated sun rays from many a billiard ball pate. Peanuts sputtered upon him. canes crashed across his crown and he was at times thrown high into the air by the howling mobs but S. Traw was ever with us. Then came his brother P. Anama. P. Anama was bashful and nervous. It took more than metal persuasion to en tice him from his winter home. At times he was dug from the dark closets and washed and cleaned. But P. Anama came and like his brother S. Traw he went. P. Anama Hat was not as popular as his brother S. Traw -but when once ac quired and on close acquaintance he was the better of the two Hats. His friendship lasted longer, he was more faithful and true and when he died he was in sleep only to rise again. The ghost of S. Traw Hat may ap pear on the streets of Topeka today. But Father Time and Dame Fashion frown on ghosts. Dame Fashion has warned the ghost to remain in the grave until the swlmmln' holes become popular again and until Topeka has a baseball team of which she may be proud. S. Traw Hat has gone but he Is not forgotten. His good brothers F. ETt Hat. S. TifT Hat. S. Ilk Hat, and S. Oft Hat who have been "ailing" all sum mer will revive their recovery is as sured. They will live only to fill up the gap and cover the space deserted by their dead brother. Let not the ghost of S. Traw Hat ap pear upon Kansas avenue. This Is the decree from Dame Fashion and with us she rules. MARYSVIUJE DRUM CORPS HERE. Visit Topeka on Way Home From Osawatomie.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOPRNAIr THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1910. AT STUBBS HOME. Notable Gathering at Lawrence Last Night. Ex-President Koosevelt Guest of Honor. the NO FORMALITY THERE. Insurgent Leaders in Kansas Present. Governor's Dinner a Notable Ertnt in State's History. The Kansas Insurgent leaders were gathered from the four corners of the state to attend the Roosevelt dinner at the Governor Stubbs home at Law rence last night. The occasion was a political conference rather than a so cial affair. An insurgent conference. The ex-president was surrounded by such men as Senator Bris tow. W. A White. Fred S. Jackson, Robert Stone, Senator Young, J. N. Dolley. Henry Allen, Alex Mitchell and all the chief fighters of that wing of the party. About sixty-five guests sat down to a splendid repast served on the third floor of the Stubbs mansion. William Allen White described the banquet as a whole, when he said to Brlstow: 'This is the best chicken I ever tasted in my life." There was never such an insurgent crowd gathered under one roof as that which broke bread with the African hunter last night. Kvery one was happy and the colonel appeared to be the happiest man in the house. He had had a hard day at Osawatomie and did not arrive at Lawrence until 6:30. And he made a short talk to the Lawrence citizens, stopping to dedicate a new fountain on the way to the Stubbs house. He retired to his room for an hour and then came down stairs as fresh as paint to mingle with the guests until supper was served at 8:30. There is not a bit of formality about Governor Stubbs. He is a host in a thousand, and his guests were soon at ense. Only one guest. William Allen AVhlte, was attired in a dress suit. The time before supper was spent In the parlors "milling" much as they used to do in the old Copeland. Col. P.oosevelt stood In the center of a crowd of a score or more of Kansans and talked and "Jollied" with them as though he had been born and bred a Kansan. 'Judging from your speech today, said some one In the crowd. 'I shouiji judge, colonel, that you either wrote the Kansas platform of Tuesday for William Allen White, or Mr. White wrote your speech." Roosevelt the Magnetic Center. The colonel held up his hands. "We are both exposed," he said. The colonel walked upstairs to din ner with Governor Stubbs. He talked throughout the repast, entering with enthusiasm into all the subjects broached by the diners. His personal itv has always been underdrawn by trie many men who have written so much about him in the past ten years. It is simply impossible to describe the man in print. When he is introduced to a man. a stranger unknown and of no particular consequence, he appears to drive every thought of other men and things out of his mind for the moment and devote his entire attention to his new acquaintance. He shifts his train of thought, interrupted by the Introduction, instantly to the stranger and talks earnestly and with purpose ful force on any subject that that stranger brings up in his word of greeting. Sitting at the table and talking with those around him. the colonel's voice Is ao full of repressed energy as when he is on the speaker's stand. His tones are low, but they vibrate from the power inside the machine. He won every man in the banquet hall last night, as his friend forever. After the supper he gave his first at tention to the dozen young Lawrence society girls who helped MiBS Lenora Stubbs serve the dinner. The colonel surrounded by the young girls dressed In white made a picture not down in the political handbook. Xo Formality There. The guests staid in the dining hall for an hour after the dinner and the electric fans blew all formality out the windows. The colonel talked with the guests in all parts of the room, sitting down or standing, just as it happened. Only one subject was tabooed, and that was the candidacy of the colonel for the presidency. The Kansas in surgents present were as happy as clams and they had every word 'they desired from the most distinguish ed American except this one thing. Roosevelt gave aid and comfort by the ton to the insurgents, and his lieu tenants. Pinchot and Garfield, gave even more, but the presidential boom was never allowed to get a start. Given an inch and it would have traveled a mile. Twenty-five newspaper men from the east and the west were pres ent and eager for just one word to etart the ball. The following guests were present at the governor's dinner: Col. W. It. Nelson. William Allen White. GifTord Pinchot. James A. Gar field. E. H. Madison, J. L. Bristow. J. N. Dolley. David D. Leahy, Marcellus Murdock. Henry J. Allen. Ralph Stout. Harold Chase, Fred S. Jackson, Alex Mitchell. I. D. Toung, R. R. Rees. Chas. A. Finch. J. L. Brady. John T. Stubbs. George J. Barber. Charles Kerr. Geo. W. Dailey of Chicago. Robert Stone. The following newspaper men were present: American Press association. Wade Mountfort, Jr.; Associated Press, Lucius F. Curtis. Charles E.

When he crossed the Kansas line Colonel Roosevelt seemed to catch the Kansas insurgent spirit and he com mitted himself while Stubbs' guest to the cause of the Insurgents to a great er degree than at any time since his return from Africa. His friends, Pin chot and Garfield, surely would not dare to speak any other than his senti ments, and they praised the Kansas Insurgent platform and Us makers to the skies. Mr. Pinchot and Mr. Garfield made a distinct hit with the Kansas leaders at the banquet. Pinchot especially im pressed his new friends as a man of understanding. He is a delightful man personally, and after meeting him it is not hard to understand wny ne stands so close to the ex-president. Governor Stubbs' coup In securing Roosevelt as his guest while the latter was in Kansas bore even more fruit than had been predicted when the tree was in blossom. The host and the entertainment were worthy of the guest. As for the guest himself and the grand evening he gave in such full measure to the insurgents and their friends, well there is only one renub lie in the world and Roosevelt is its prophet. Insurgent Leaders Pleased. Lawrence, Kan.. Sept. 1. Progress sive Republican leaders in this state were enthusiastic in their approval of Colonel Roosevelt 8 speech at Osawat omle. They declared that it meant much for progressive Republicanism in Kansas and that its effect would be felt all over the nation. "His speech demonstrated that he is in absolute accord with the views of the people of Kansas on all public questions." said Senator Bristow after Colonel Roosevelt had completed his address. "He could not have made a speech that could have more strongly appealed to the conscience and Judg ment of the people of this state than the one he made today. It will give to progressive Republicanism a tre mendous impetus everywhere from coast to coast." Governor Stubbs was equally forc ible in approving the colonel's speech. I regard this as the greatest speech that Colonel Roosevelt has ever made," said Governor Stubbs. "It will have a far reaching effect in the interest of the progressive movement in the na tion. It is, in fact, the only course that could have saved the party from rocks. He talked of principles and methods today that the Republican party must adopt or go out of busi ness. He has become tne loremost leader in the progressive element of the Republican party." 'I think Colonel Roosevelt's speecn has given a wonderful impetus to pro gressive Republicanism in Kansas,' said Congressman Madison. "This movement was already strong. The people of this state have great confi dence in Colonel Roosevelt and are in clined to accept his leadership. His clear ringing pronouncement for pro gressive Republicanism, of course, will add very materially to the cause in this state. Lawrence. Kan., Sept. 1. The dedi cation of a drinking fountain provided by the Humane society in the center of this town was timed for the ar rival of Colonel Roosevelt here to dine with Governor Stubbs. Drawn up in picturesque form were hundreds of lit tle children, all attired In white gar ments with big sunflowers prominently displayed. Colonel Roosevelt, speaking from a stand erected for the occasion, talked to the children of the kindness and gentleness that should characterize their treatment of dumb animals, cru elty to dumb creatures he said, was next to cruelty to humanity. Keter- ing to the State university located here, he paid a glowing tribute to the value of education, especially when providing for the practical affairs or life "But, after all," he said, "the greatest essential is to have the right kind of character. The colonel was frequently applaud ed by the large assemblage of men and women. If you have not character," he said, "you cannot have good citizenship. The stronger and abler the man Is the worse he is if he has not character and does not do his duty to his family and to the state. "But do not forget, you educators," he said, addressing his remarks to the body of teachers that formed a part of his audience'that is bringing about refinement you must cultivate the manly qualities. I do not care how good a man is if he has not got strength of character there Is little that can be done with him. I want a man not only to do Justice to himself, but to see that no one is unjust to him. I want him to feel that if another man tackles him he would not think it would be a good thing to go home, but rather that he would make the other man stand back. If a war should come I want them to be able to make .good soldiers to defend the country." Lawrence, Kan.. Sept. 1. Osawat omie bade Col. Roosevelt good-bye at 4:10 when the big crowd followed him from the park to the train. There was no delay at the station and the party was soon on the way to Law rence via Ottawa. Only one stop was made and that was at Baldwin, where Senator Bris tow, formerly attended Baker univer sity. The ex-presldent made this the occasion of laudatory remarks that brought an expansive smile to the face of the Kansas Insurgent. When I was looking for a man to Investigate the postoffice frauds," he said, "I wanted one I knew they could not intimidate, one on whose honesty and integrity I could place dependence. I found such a man in your Senator Bristow. When I find a man guilty of corruption I want to put him out regardless of party. If It happens to be my own party the duty becomes all the more humiliating, but Just as necessary, wnen l find such a man in my own party I not only want to put him out, but to fling him out." The train started to pull out before Col. Roosevelt finished speaking and no other stop waa made till Lawrence was reached. Following is the speech of James R. Garfield at Osawatomie: "Special interests of all kinds, wheth er corporate or otherwise, are entitled to just consideration and fair treat ment, but not to representation in any public office," began Mr. Garfield. "The legislator who owes his nomination or election to the influence of any special interest will inevitably yield to the de mands of his master as against the public welfare. The executive officer whose election or appointment is due to the efforts of special interests will likewise demand of his master. The judge who owes his position to a spec ial interest may be depended upon to determine in iavor oi any interest in any case in which it is involved. All such representatives should be driven from public office if we are to maintain sen government and work out the pro blems of our republic. The task of freeing politics- from improper influence of special interest is no easy task. Under the guise of the demand for fair treatment the spec ial interests both state and national have obtained far more than they are entitled to. Through the corrupt influ ence oi money lurmsned Dy special in terests to particular candidates the special interests have obtained and are maintaining an influence over public offices. The present Kreat risrht for the perpetuation of political liberty is to tree ourselves irom mat kind of influ ence. It has been said that a general charge of this kind is not brone out by .special instances, but every man who nas serveu in any public caoacitv in state or nation knows that there are puDiic omcers whose allegiance is not to tne puonc. Dut to the particular in terests that have placed them there. "it is tne railroad in one state, the business corporations in another, the farmers' alliance in another, the labor unions in another all of these as I hu.ve said before are entitled to Just consideration, but none of them to rep resentation; wherever special interest la represented there the public welfare is necessarily Jeopardized. The represen tatives In any office, must be simply representatives of all classes, al inter' ests and all people. Pinchofs Brief Talk. Gifford Pinchot. being presented to the assemblage, made conservation the kevnote of bis remarks. "Every man gets his living from the earth, either directly or indirectly. declared Mr. Pinchot. "The amount of wealth or the possible prosperity and well being of the whole people de pends on how we use this earth and what we do with Its products. "The conservation idea is that all the people ought to get from our na tural resources every advantage they can yield both now and hereafter. But that condition cannot be brought about ir tne big fellows get an undue share of the weaith of the earth. In no phase of life is there more oppor tunity for the operation of the princi ple for the square dealing than in that which Involves equality of all men and women in sharing in our prosperity. To curtail men's opportunity by allowing a few to control the riches of the earth is essentially wrong. Conservation merely proposes under such restric tions as are necessary to work these natural resources so as to give the greatest benefit to every man, woman and child now and hereafter."

Topeka Pension Agency Turned Orer to McPherson Man. Gen. Metcair Treated to a Sur prise by Employees. GIVEN A GOLD WATCH. A Touching Scene at the Leave Taking. O. U. Martin Delirers the Pre sentation Speech. The days we count to make the year, Are simply lost, unless we reap In harvest of the days gone by. Some friendships that we loving keep. The above stanza written by Judge C. D. Nichols, one of the veteran clerks in the Topeka pension office, was hand ed by him to Gen. Wilder S. Metcalf last evening as the employees were say ing goodby following the transfer of the office to A. W. Smith of McPherson. There were tears in the eyes of the old soldier and the eyes of the young soldier who is giving up the office af ter over eight years of brilliant service were not dry. Gen. Metcalf was treated to an agree able and genuine surprise. He had Just surrendered his chair at the big desk in the private office in the federal building to Mr. Smith. He had comple ted an explanation of the duties and was just ready to leave when the clerks and employees began crowding In with the evident purpose of saying goodby. A smile of pleasure lighted up the face of the outgoing agent and he beamed upon the men who have for years been his friends as well as associates and he read in every face a genuine regret that he was leaving. Then O. B. Martin stepped forward and handed him a little package which contained a beautiful gold watch with Mr. Metcalf s monogram on the out side cover and the following inscrip tion on the inside: "Presented to Gen. Wilder S. Metcalf by Clerks in U. S. Pension Agency, Topeka, Kan., 8-31-10." Mr. Martin then delivered the follow ing address: "General Metcalf: For more than eight years we have had the pleasure of toiling with you in this temple built by our great government for the use of its people. Our association' has not been that of Master and Slave, not Boss and Servant, but that of gentle men working together under a. tirst class management in a glorious cause. "With a chief clerk second to none. and a staff of first-class people, you have deserved to succeed, and have shown yourself fully competent to stand at the head of such a class; therefore I have been requested by the office force to present you with this to ken of our sincere regard and high ap preciation of your many kindnesses shown us in the past. Take it and wear it, not for its intrinsic value alone but so that in the coming years when you look upon its face you will be re- minded of the hearts that shall ever beat true., "Not many years ago a young boy ran barefooted over blue grass carpet, through the beautiful hills and vales of northern Ohio. His life differed but little from that of the ordinary boy. About the time this boy began to assume the responsibilities of man hood he heard the call of Kansas. After bidding good-bye to the child hood scenes, he came west and ear nestly began a life of commerce. Some years after this the whole nation was startled; the cry came of war. When the call came for troops this boy re sponded with all the zeal and earnest ness of his young manhood, after which we behold him upon the waves of 'old ocean's sad and melancholy waste.' Next we see him leading his troops into successful battle upon the burning sands of the equator. But when peace waa restored he came home and resumed the even tenor of his way. Then a call came from Wash ington, and upon answering he was entrusted with a most sacred message that of demonstrating in part the gratitude of a great government to the remainder of the grandest army that ever offered their lives in the cause of liberty; yea, more blessed still was the privilege of quieting the cry of the orphan and binding up the wounded hearts of the widows. May your time be long upon the earth. "But when you come to start dawn the afternoon of life that stretches away to the night, may you be sus tained by the inspiration that comes of a well-spent life. May you succeed In finding the lost chord, and in the beauty of harmony be led by the hand of the Master across the dark waters Into the fields beyond where you shall hear a voice saying, 'Well done thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things. I will make thee ruler over many." General Metcalf was evidently over come. He tried to talk and his voice broke with emotion and then he gave it up. He said afterward that he has never before owned a gold watch. There were hearty handshakes and tearful farewells and then the em ployees filed out of the room. A. W. Smith began his duties as pension agent this morning. He has moved his family to Topeka and they will live at 1274 Harrison street. He is one of the best known men in Kan sas. He has served several terms as speaker of the Kansas house of repre entatives and was a candidate for governor during Populist times. J. E. McMahon, trainmaster, Las Vegas. R. J.

Miss Neilson will not retire from the stage. She is a native of California. WED A SECOND TIME. After a Separation Dating Back to the Civil War. Kenton, O., Sept. 1. Phillip Carr, remarried to the wife he lost in the turmoil of the Civil war nearly half a century ago, is enjoying with her his second honeymoon. They were re united in wedlock a few days since, but It was only yesterday that the facts became known as to their life's his tory. Separated by raiding guerillas who captured the federal mails; di vorced because of a believed deser tion; each remarried, and each again widowed, they found the love of their youth still aflame upon an accidental meeting not long since, and their new betrothal followed at once. Carr is now 74 years of age and his wife 68. It was in 1862 that Carr, responding to Lincoln's second call for troops marched to the front, leaving his bride of a year and his Infant daughter be hind. When some months later, his letters and remittances stopped, she was induced to apply for a divorce on the grounds that he had deserted her. Sometime later she remarried and went to live in the east. When Carr returned from the war his bride was missing and he learned of the divorce. Stung to the quick, he too, married another. Many years later her second husband, and his second wife. died. Recently he returned to the scenes of his boyhood and here he met "tie girl he left be hind him." In the dark days of '62. He explained how the mails had been raid ed and the letters, written with the stubs of a pencil in the trenches of Tennessee, stolen, with his slender sav ings from his soldier pay of $13 a month. And he told how when her letters stop ped, he too, believed that he had been deserted. Both the old people say, however, that the tragedy of errors has been made up to them by their happiness now. SECOND IN THE WORLD. New York City's Population Is Esti mated at 4,563.604. Washington, Sept. 1. Following its announcement of Brooklyn today, the census bureau will tonight make a statement of the population of Greater New York as developed by the recent census. No intimation as to the exact figures has been -given out, but it is known that the census bureau has pre pared an estimate of growth, based on the increase shown between 1900 and 1905, which was something over 32 per cent, by which the present popu lation would be over four and a half million in exact figures. 4,563,604. A gain of anything like 32 per cent for such a center of population will be almost marvelous and the result will be, not only to establish New York's position as the second city of the world, but to cause it to almost ap proach rivalry with London. In 1901 the population of London was 6,581, 372 It is estimated that it now ex ceeds seven and a half million. Thus the British metropolis still surpasses the American by about 3,000,000 peo ple. Of the foreign capitals, Paris comes next with a total in 1906 of 2,763,393 and Berlin follows with 2,040,148. Charles Esper Is Dead. Philadelphia, Sept. 1. Charles Esper, aged 42, formerly a pitcher for the old Athletics of this city, in the American association, died here last night of Bright's disease. He also was connected with the St. Louis club and with the Baltimore Nationals when that town won the pennant in 1894. TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS Chicago, Sept. 1. WHEAT Heavy de liveries and lower cables gave wheat a weaK tone today, elevator concerns put out most of thie actual grain, commission houses paying for some of it.

Wal St., New York, Sept. 1 STOCKS Opening dealings in stocks were on a smal lscale and showed no effective re vival from the stagnation of yesterday. Prices drifted aimlessly within a narrow range. Consolidated Gas and Pittsburg C. C. and St. Louis rose 1 and Pressed Steel Car Chicago Great Western pre ferred lost 1. A brisk selilng movement uncovered stop loss orders and prices fell sharply. Union Pacific, Reading, Atchison and United States Steel were sold freely and the whole list took on an appearance of con siderable weakness. Losses ranged gen erally to a point or over.. Reading lost 2; Atchison, Union Pacific, Consolidated Gas, American Hide and Leather prefer red and International Harvester 2; Amal gamated Copper 1 and Southern Pacific, New Haven and U. S. Steel 1. The first hour's business at the stock exchange was as large as yesterday's total. Sellers of stocks advanced Colonel Roosevelt's speech of yesterday as their reasons. xaiK or retrenchment by the railways was a motive also. The dealings were largely professional. The dealings of the first hour were extended, but were checked towards noon. Wabash lost 1, Wisconsin Central, Northern Pacific and Pacific Mail 1 and New York Central and Baltimore and Ohio 1 Bonds were easy. When the decline in the market stopped, business shrunk further. Recoveries were limited to fractions. Market Gossip. Furnished by J. E. Gall, Commissions, Grains, Provisions. Cotton and Stocks, Office 112 East Fifth st.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVBNINGr, SEPTEMBER lr1910. qSociet. Y Governor Stubbs dinner given at his home in Lawrence Wednesday night for Col. Roosevelt, is reported to have ijn- portant political significance, but it also means that Mrs. Stubbs. who had lull ,charge of the planning and serving or The dinner, orders her domes'13 and so cial affairs with taste end abi.lry. Ac cording to one of the men who at tended the affair, a number of ins pected guests arrived late, coining in shortly before dinner was served. W hlie no preparation had been made ror them, the difficulty was surmountea with apparent ease and with VtcUcaj ly no delay. The decorations througn the house were red, white and blue, fcnd vases of red flowers stood on the ta bles. The ices were moulded in tne shape of Teddy bears In compliment to the honored guest. Miss Lenore Stubb and 12 of her girl friends of nnce all of them daintily dressed in white, served the dinner, and after the ban quet, the colonel was introduced to eThgovtrrnir,s family will return to Topeka this month and open their house for the winter. The hospitality of the Stubbs family is well known to people here, and their return i" in the revival of social activity. That fortunate woman who finds herself possessed, at the coming of cool days, of a frock of foulard, shan tung or habutai which has escaped the ravaees of the summer season will have cause to rejoice. Those who are not so fortunate will find it the part of wisdom to immediately pos- sess themselves of such a frock, for nothing is so practicable at this time of year as a sown made from one of these serviceable materials. For this latter class the suggestion above is given. It is of natural color shan tung, the blouse cut in kimono fash ion, closing at the left front. Bands of self-tone shantung, which spring apparently from slits cut in the sides of the skirt, cross at the front. The skirt repeats this scheme of decora tion. -Mie Nellie Clough had a few guests to luncheon today at the Mission Tea room in honor of Miss Kate Adams, of Chicago, who is visiting Mrs. George Crosman.

The wide black velvet band which 'hobbles" this narrow skirt of black moire is also- its sole trimming, if the big buttons of the two materials are except ed. The chic little jacket shows the crossed fronts, the short-waisted sides and back and the sectional hip pieces, and the hat is one of the new turbans which set well back from the brow and call for no trimming beyond a feather aigrette.

Wonder if I'll be abused as I was yes terday. If I am, I'm going to strike. Just disposed of a half-chewed break- iast. we ran for the train, which meant, that I was so jiggled about ami so tired that it took -me twice as long to do my work. Hope she gives me an hour or two of complete rest, before anything more comes my way. 10:30 a. m. Two glasses of ice. water nave Just .arrived.. It will take all the energy I can pump up In the next hour to warm me up to normal again. 10:50 a. m. Half-chewed breakfast didn't satisfy her and. she has bought some peanuts and started eating them. 12 m. Peanuts nave dribbled along steadily ever since last entry. Think she has finished them, though. 12:J0. Decided she vvasn t very hungry, and instead of a good solid dinner sent me down a cold egg nogg. neavy with chocolate. could have managed it all right if it hadn't been so cold, but that makes it terribly hard to deal with. 1:10 p. m. More ice water! 1:40 p-.'m. Was mistaken about the peanuts. She found another handful in the bottom of the bag, and now I have them to tend to. 2:05 p. m. -More Ice water!! 3:10 p. m. She has been lifting some heavy books, and, as usual, used my muscles instead of her arms muscles, as she should have done. Tired mo more than digesting a six-course din ner. 3:20 p. m- Some one-has brought us a box of caramels and she-has started on that. 4:30 d. m. Have received something like half a pound of caramels since last entry. She Just said, "Oh. dear, I don't feeLa bit well. I know the miHt in that egg nogg must have been sour." 4:5Tj p. m. We were invited out to have.a soda before going home. Had a lemon photphate and then ran lor the train. 6:30 p. m. We played a set of tennis before dinner, and here I am all tired out and a dinner to handle. 7 t. m. Fried potatoes, green corn, veal and blueberries. What do you know about that! 7:45. We are going down town for a chocolate walnut college ice!!!! 8:20. Got home and found some one had made some lemonade. She dranii two glasses. That on top of. the college ice settles it. I strike. '8:30. Have sent back the college lee and lemonade. 8:40. Returned the blueberries. 8:50. And the veaU 9:10 d. m. She has sent for the doc tor. Says that college ice must have had something the matter with it. Her mother says it is probably the weak stomach she inherited from her father, 9:30 p. m. Doctor, says ifs just a little upset, due to the hot weather. Good-night::::! FOR SALE REAL ESTATE, fIFEM'S ME THERE IS NO.

Dean Whitehouse in New York and Boston and at his home in Ohio, while Mrs. Wilm, Miss Phipps, Miss Hogeboom and Mrs. Millice have been satisfied with shorter trips. "Professor Arnold Guerne has ac cepted a flattering offer to return to his school, where he spent many yeara. as clean of the school of music. In his place Washburn has been fortunate in securing two first class teachers of the piano, each capable of developing pupils to the highest point of excel lence. Miss Ethelyn May Harrison of Topeka and Professor Arthur W. T,ocke of Brown university. Both Mis-s Harrison and Mr. Locke are instructors of ripe experience.

Mo. Miss Lecompte is a young woman of attractive personality and has had considerable experience. She promise3 to be very popular. "The department of fine arts at Washburn has not been properly main tained d-.ring the past two or three years.

Dr. Giel left Pekin on August 1 and at that time, he says, it was current gossip in political circles that the pal ace authorities were considering a proposition to engage Colonel Roose velt to assist in piloting the country through a rather stormy period Many of the diplomats. Dr. Giel declares, were confident that the offer would appeal to the American ex-president, and might induce him to abandon the fight against the bosses here to be come a boss himself in the Flowery kingdom. In speaking of conditions. Dr. Giel said there was an "anti-baby move ment" in China, the leaders being op posed to the rule of the child emperor. This movement, he said, if it grew rap Idly, as many thought, might result in a revolution.

At Baldwin yesterday afternoon when the Roosevelt special stopped at 4:30 o'clock, Colonel Roosevelt was greeted by a crowd of 1,500 persons. They had brought great quantities of sunflowers with them and waved them with a large number of American flags when the colonel step ped to the rear platform. When Mr. Roosevelt made his appearance, a score of persons yelled, "What's the matter with Teddy?" and a great shout went up, "He's all right." Mr. Roosevelt made a 5-minute speech and was in troduced by Governor Stubbs. who eulogized him as the greatest citizen of the world. i "I wish the governor." Mr. Roosevelt, smilingly said, "wouldn't paint of me a picture that I cannot Irame up to. Mr. Roosevelt eulogized Senator Bris tow. who stood on the rear platform with him. "I am glad to get to this place where Senator Bristow was educated," Mr. Roosevelt said. "I have noticed that when you want to turn out a good citi zen you can make no mistake if yoa use a Methodist as the raw material." Mr. Roosevelt then eulogized Bristow for his work in the poetomce depart ment. "When I wanted to clean out the crooks in the postoffico ..department," Mr. Roosevelt said. "I wanted a man who was absolutely game, who could do the work, whom nothtng could swerve or intimidate. I chose the Bristow that then was, and he kept at the task until he rendered what I regarded as one of the greatest services which can be ren dered in America. "In America it never ought to be nec essary to change parties in order to turn the rascals out, for friends can af ford to differ on many things, but they cannot afford to differ on the funda mentals. A man can't be a good mem ber of any party unless he tries to make that party serve the state. I will make this distinction: If the rascal appears in mv party, I shall feel a little more humiliated and that it is a little more my business to turn him out. My friendship with Senator Bristow began then, when he rendered one of the greatest services a public servant can render his country." THEORY IS WRONG.
