Deposed Chief Forester Is Over come With Emotion As the Result of the Ovation Given Him at St. Paul. ROOSEVELT'S IDEAS. Are Expected to Predominate in the Platform. Secretary of Agriculture Wil son Delivers an Address. St. Paul. Bppt. 7 The two opposing ideas of conservatlng natural resources met squa-ely today when Senator Beverldge In an eloquent speech de clared for national control, while James J. Hill argued on the contrary. Gifford Pinchot received an ovation that furnished the most dramatic mo ment of the congress. The former for ester, the object of a wild demonstra tion by the audience, stood with tears streaming from his eyes, until the out burst of cheers had subsided and th'i spectators were again in their seats. Just what Senator Beverldge was try ing to say complimentary to Mr. Pin t chot was drowned in the roar thai arose the moment the trend of his re marks became apparent. 'Gifford Pinchot" said the speaker and the outburst started. It grew un til every one was yelling and the whole house was on its feet, waving hats and handkerchiefs. Senator Beverldge had no sooner re tired than cries of "Pinchot, Pinchot," rane- through the house. He was dragged forward by President Baker, His voice shook as he spoke. "It is magnificent," he said, "to hear Hoiind nolicies of conservation ac claimed as has been done here today. Conservation has won out. I thank Ynn." Senator Beverldge sounded his key note in the statement "that the United States is one nation, not 46 nations. Mr. Hill said there were dangers in separable from national control. Th machine was "too big and remote," he said, "and its operation too slow and costly." Congress Begins Business St. Paul. Minn.. Sept. 7 With the big features of the National Conservation congress over with namely the address of President Taft and former President Roosevelt, the delegates expressed their determination today to get down to business. The meetings of Monday and Tuesday were fairly lost in welcoming the distinguished speakers, leaving the balance of the program to all but empty benches. Chairman Pardee, of the resolutions committee, called that body to order to day before the congress resumed. The membership of the committee is said to indicate that the platform to he recommended to the convention will be strongly along the lines of national control as favored by Col. Roosevelt and Gifford Pinchot. The committee is com posed as follows: George C. Pardee. California, chair man; John A. Fox. Arkansas; P. T. Coolidge, Colorado; W. J. McGee, Dis trict of Columbia; Alfred L. Baker, Il linois; William H. Dye, Indiana; Robert Hunter, Iowa; Alex Mitchell, Kansas; C. C. Crassham. Kentucky; Mr. Minden, Louisiana; Cyrus C.

C. White, West Virginia; William J. Irvine. Wis consin, and Jerome J. Day, Idaho. Wilson's Address. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson ad dressed the congress as follows: "The most important feature of farm conservation is the soil. The farmer prospers while the soil re sponds to his work and yields good crops; he ceases to do well when the soil refuses to respond to his labor. "The people of the older nations take care of soil fertility as a matter of prime necessity and long ago as certained the proper succession of crops, their relation to the soil, and vithe feeding of man and animals. They knew the soil must be fed and the proper physical conditions to main tain, and learned from experience how to do it. They learned that the de caying plant returned to the soil was the best food the growing plant could have. They became aware that the removal of crops from the farm re sulted in soil deterioration unless the equivalent was returned from some source. Ancient history tells us that the legume was used in rotation be fore Hellriegel discovered its office In fixing nitrogen in the soil- the vi nones was Known as a fertili zer before Liebig gave us their analy l t i "a; J sis. The office of sulphuric acid was known In making superphosphate through which the husbandman got the immediate benefit of the fertilizer in the bones. "During the short history of our country we have had new soils to draw upon when exhaustion resulted from the robbing process and much of the nation's prosperity is the equival ent of what the soil has lost. Our peo ple have been well fed and until re cently they have been cheaply fed. This has been due In part no doubt to the occupancy of land easily ob tainable as soon as the older refused to yield abundantly and is one of the prime causes of farm desertion that is now attracting so mucn attention. Food No longer Cheap. "Manufactures increased and pros pered greatly during the last half cen tury because food was cheaper in our country than in any one with which we competed. Food Is cheaper no longer. Population has increased fas ter than production from the soil. A new soil given to all who desired, was the basis of our past prosperity. The soils of our older settlements were robbed and neglected in the east and in the south; they had little or no at tention. Railways were pushed Into the Mississippi valley where the gla ciated soils were so rich, so easily cul tivated, and supposed to be inexhausti ble. The government policy of giving farms to the people has exhausted the supply in the regions where rainfall usuallv assures good crops. The moun tain ranges hold the snow and some valley lands are being irrigated which yield abundantly, but only a small per cent or lana west or tne one nun dredth meridian is being irrigated. So we have found our limitations. Bread and meat are so dear that employers of labor are under the necessity of in creasing compensation that people may live. Since the Civil war heavy exporta tion from the farm have paid foreign debts and kept the balance of trade in our favor. Exportatlons from the farm are steadily falling off, both of meats and breadstuffs. "We grow more cropB every year but not enough to feed our Increasing population and keep up our exports. "The federal government is expend ing large sums to irrigate more land which is wise but the amount of water impounded is small compared with the volume that flows to waste. In a re- I cent visit to the mountain states I saw that the most advanced localities are everv year making more reservoirs to hold water and spring flows of waters that zo free of man's restraint to the ocean. The nation, the states and pri vate enterprises have ample fields in which' to work toward greater crop production in this direction. "The lands of the mountain states are with little exception very rich in plant food, and while water continues to escape in such large quantities it will pay to turn them on these lands and reap the heavy crops that certainly fol low. After all the lands are Irrigated that can be, practically, immense areas remain that lis above gravity irriga tion. Efforts are being made by the federal government, the states, private companies and individuals to grow crops on the high lying lands that have eighteen Inches of annual rainfall and less. "The department of agriculture. In obedience to congressional require ment, is exploring similar lands that exist under similar conditions through out the old world. Some success is being had. A wheat from Africa and Asia gives us 60,000,000 bushels a year from the high lying light rainfall states: a grass and alfalfa from Tur kestan; alfalfas, clovers and vetches from Siberia: oats from northern Sweden; millets from the Orient; sorghum from Africa are samples of what are being found by our explorers that thrive on our highlands of the west. "At thirteen stations in seven states we have parties of scientists studying methods of plant management on our dry lands. If our growth in population is to continue we must look to the soil and conserve moisture which is the transportation system of the plant. Without adding water beyond what falls from the clouds it is practical to greatly increase crop fields by better soli management and adding fertiliz ing material that we permit to go to foreign countries. We furnish nitrog enous mill feeds to thrifty foreigners who know their value to feed their cat tle to make meats and dairy products and keep up the fertility of iheir soils. These should be fed on the farms that grow the grain from which they are made. New lands are not to be had for the asking In the thirty-inch rain fall districts of the country. If we are to prosper as a people we must give close attention to our soils and con serve their fertility by all the means in our power. To Conquer Drouth. -"Our lighter soils are affected bv drouths that extend' over periods dur ing the growing season so long that maximum crops are not secured. We win in time find it necessary to follow the example set by European countries of dense population, of building reser voirs to impound overflow water to be used during times of drouth. These reservoirs are built from the sources ot their river on down toward their mouths. We can do this with great profit in some of our states now. "The office of water in growing plants is comprehended when we real ize that from three hundred to five hundred pounds of water are required by the plant to enable it to make one pound of dry matter and that a shock of corn standing in the field for weeks after it is cut has from 25 to 40 per cent of moisture. "Something Is being done to Increase the volume of our crops in all sections of our country. The cattle fever tick of the south, has prevented the profit able production of beef in that section of cur country. Congress has provided for the extermination of the pest, which Is being done; 140,000 square miles is now free from It. This will bring into active production within a few years all of the southern states, pastures will be prepared, the prime element in a system of rotation "f crops, cotton seed meal will be fed vh?re It is produced, and southern fields will become much more produc tive helping to feed our growing popu lation while more cotton will be grown on fewer acres. "The advent of the cotton boll weevil called for prompt federal action to help southern farmers to deal with this In vasion from Central America. Scien tists were called upon to make re search, and conduct demonstration of well known methods, on many thou sand farms. One of the most Interest ing was the growing of an acre of corn by each of 12.500 boys under IS years of age. The result was very gratifying, over 150 bushels were grown on an acre by some of the boys. The south ern states grew the largest corn crop IF its history. Upon this foundation (Continued on Page Eight.) HE STANDS PAT. Col. Roosevelt Meets Attack ol Milwaukee's Mayor. With an Intimation That He Has Nothing to Retract. IN FOUR LANGUAGES. Col. Roosevelt Is Welcomed to the Cream City. Guest of the Press Cluh for the Entire Day. Milwaukee, Sept. 7. Shortly after Col. Roosevelt arrived here today and before he sat down to breakfast at the Hotel Pfiester, he found himself In volved In a controversy with Emil Seldel, the Socialist mayor, who had declined to act on the reception com mittee, which welcomed the colonel to Milwaukee. In a contribution to the "Big Stick," a newspaper published by the Milwau kee Press club for this occasion. Mayor Seldel stated: "If Mr. Roosevelt comes to Milwaukee holding the same ideas which he expressed in his magazine article of March 20, 1909, it is clear that he can not serve the cause of honesty and decency in American political life." "It is possible that I have misunder stood the article," stated Mayor Seidel. "but inasmuch as I am a Socialist and he has designated socialism as a thing which is against morals and religion 'abhorent, revolting' which would, 'replace the family and home life by a glorious state of free lunch counters and a state foundling asylum' I am sure that he will be pleased that I am not personally connected with his re ception in the city." Charging the colonel with "a cunning an3 deliberate purpose to create a false impression," he declared that the vis itor, "could lay no claim to the right of preaching of either morality, re ligion or civic righteousness. ."In the speaking tour of Mr. Roose velt through the west," said Mayor Seldel, "I fall to see anything of im portance beyond political plans and de signs. As such, of course, it Is of no political service to the present city ad ministration. The problems that now confront our city are of much the same natuTe as those the nation faces." Roosevelt's Reply. On being shown this statement Col. Rosevelt promptly said: "On this trip I have made no parti san political speeches and of course shall not break through the rule now by discussing either state party mat ters, or municipal party matters, present, of course, the dominant municipal party in Milwaukee is -the Socialist party. If any one wishes to know my views on what Is- usually called socialism, they will find them set out In such fashion that it Is im nosslbie to misinterpret them, or mis understand them, in the magazine articles to which the mayor In his let ter refers. I advise them to read the articles themselves and not what the mavor says of them." The press club's special publication, "The Big Stick," especially disavowed responsibility for the mayor's utter ance saying that "Mr. Roosevelt will understand that Milwaukee's welcome is none the less whole hearted hardly the less unanimous because the mayor has seen fit to voice a socialistic dislike for the former head of the ra in spite of the failure of the mayor to join in welcoming Colonel Roose velt, the press club had prepared a most strenuous program, including half a dozen speeches between breakfast and luncheon time. Realizing that this program was impossible of execution, they cut down so that the morning hours were to include only visits to the boys and girls' trade schools, the colo nel making it plain before he started to inspect them that his visit would be purely one or eaurauun j-ui im... and not to teach those conducting the schools anything about their work. "It has been stated to me since my arrival here." said Colonel Roosevelt today, "that in spite or oeuaiur xa. in.tt. havine carried the primaries in fair and open contest, an effort will be made to beat him in the legislature. I do not for one moment oeneve mis, because any such conduct would be from every noint of view an outrage that would be a deliberate violation of good faith. "When in Oreson the Democratic candidate for senator. Governor Cham- hprinin. carried the primaries ana it was proposed that the Republican leg islature should turn him down, I very strongly and publicly took the posi tion that such an act would be one of bad faith by the legislature toward the nonle.. and I take tne same position in regard to Senator LaFollette." Busy Day Planned. Milwaukee. Wis.. Sept. 7. Col. Theo dore Roosevelt arrived from St. Paul about 8 o'clock this morning and for nearly 24 hours will be the guest of the Milwaukee Press club on the oc casion of its silver jubilee celebration. H- was greeted by 3,000 persons. Fol lowing breakfast at the Hotel Pfiester, a strenuous program has been mapped out. During his visit he will make probably six speeches, winding up with an address at the auditorium tonight, where he will address the newspaper men and their guests, numbering about 9.000. and an overflow meeting at the Hippodrome, to be attended by 4,000 persons. Aside from the speeches there will be automobile rides, a luncheon with a number of newspaper publishers ami managing editors, a Bohemian lunch eon at the Press club at which none but Press club members will take part and a big reception at the Hottl Pfiester during the afternoon when the colonel will shake hands and chat with hundreds of prominent citizens of Wis consin. Col. Roosevelt will visit the different trade schools, one for boys and another for girls, he having made a special re quest that these institutions be In cluded In the day's program. A short call will be made at the Mar quette university and stops have been arranged for and short talks will be made at the American Health Associa tion convention, the Chamber of Com merce and the Women's Presbyterian Missionary society at Immanuel church. A souvenir of Col. Roosevelt's visit is the publication by the Press club of a single edition of "The Big Stick." i The first page contains a five column SAVED JJYJIELSON Chairman of Ballinger-Pinchot Investigating Committee Rules That There Is No Quorum at Critical Moment.

At an execu tive meeting of the Ballinger-Pinchot Investigating committee today Senator Duncan W. Fletcher of Florida, a Dem ocrat, introduced a resolution holding that the secretary of the interior was unfaithful aaa public officer and should be removed. Representative Madison, the Repub lican insurgent from Kansas, offered a substitute resolution holding that the charges which have been made by Gif ford Pinchot and Louis Glavis, a for mer chcief of a field division of the general land office,, were sustained. Representative James, Democrat, Kentucky, offered an amendment- to Representative Madison's substitute, providing for the removal of Mr. Bal linger from office and Mr.-Madison ac cepted the amendment.

Much Difficulty Again Exper ienced in Securing Jury. NOT TRIED TOGETHER. Mrs. Barclay Secures Continu ance of Her Trial. She Is Expected to Testify at This Hearing. Holton, Kan., Sept. 7. Joseph N. Gentry, who is accused of kidnaping and assault with intent to kill, in connection with the famous Incubator baby kidnaping case of Topeka, is on trial in the Jackson county court in Holton. The case which was shifted from Topeka to this city last spring on account of alleged public spirit Is on its second lap and the day has been spent in the selection, of a jury. N. Gentry. Who Was Placed on Trial Today for Kidnaping the Incubator Baby. One year ago In August Marian Bleakley, the famous St. Louis Incu bator baby was kidnaped from her home in Topeka. Captain F. H. Til lotson, a Kansas City detective agency owner, was convicted of kidnaping In this court last spring. Joseph N., Gen try, a Kansas City detective, who is al leged to have been working under Captain Tillotson, is now on trial for kidnaping the child and for strik ing over the head with a gun, a young man by the name of Clarence Bell- i nap of Kentucky, who attempted to protect the little girl. When court was called this morning 1 and the docket was read Mrs. Stella Barclay, the foster mother of Marian Bleakley, through her attorney E. D. McKeever of Topeka, asked for a separate trial. This request was grant ed by Judge Rains and the case of state vs. Joseph N. Gentry was taken up at once. Jury Venire Exhausted. A special venire of 20 jurors was ex hausted today before the state and the defense could get rid of their chal lenges and the active trial will begin tomorrow morning. The impaneling of a jury in this case is much different than the same work last spring: The attorneys have realized that the read ing of newspapers and the knowledge of the facts in the case at this time have little effect on the minds of the reading public. Last year because a man read a newspaper he was accused of forming an opinion on the case and the selection of a jury was a long task. Although the main facts in the In cubator baby kidnaping case were threshed out last spring and the crowded court rooms at that time be came acquainted with every detail, the interest in Holton and surrounding country is intense and In the selection of a jury this morning the court house was crowded. Mrs. Stella Barclay of Buffalo, N. T., was the main attraction of the trial- and she has created the same fine ap pearance and carried herself with the dignity that won friends for her in this city a few months ago. Mrs. Barclay will probably be on the witness stand in this case and her testimony will be a swinging blow In either direction" and will reveal things that have never been told in the course of the trial. It is .known that au or tne defend ants in this incubator baby case are at "outs' with each other. Captain Til lotson and Gentry and Mrs. Barclay are all Indifferent of the presence of the other and it is known also, that if he wished J. J. Schenck, county attor ney of Shawnee county, could secure any of the aeienaants to turn state i evidence. Witnesses Are Tardy. With the same vim and determina tion exhibited here last spring, Coun ty Attorney Schenck is conducting the case against the Kidnapers. Assistant County Attornef Atchison .of Topeka, is helping Mr. Schenck In the case. The state through these two able at torneys is confident of convicting Joseph N. Gentry. There is a woeful lack of witnesses for the state. "Very few of them have appeared and every one was served with a subpoena," said Mr. Schenck this morning. "If these wit nesses do not show up this afternoon or tomorrow morning early I will send the sheriff to Topeka and they will be brought here. It seems that no one has paid attention to their part in this case." There are in all about 30 witnesses for the state most of them residing In Topeka. There were only five of these witnesses in court this morning. Joseph N. Gentry is here represent ed by his attorneys. Nation Nation of Erie, Kan. James Nation, state auditor of Kansas, is the leading counsel for the defendant. Mrs. Stella Barcley is represented by her person al attorney, Ed McKeever of Topeka. David Gregg of Topeka, who is al leged to have been an accomplice in the kidnaping case is here also. He is an attorney and is acting In his own behalf. His attorney and bondsman, Joseph Reed of Topeka, died a short time ago.- Mrs. Bleakley, from whom the child was taken, and the daughter, Marian, were not in Holton today. They are expected tomorrow. CURTIS TO SEE TAFT. WUl Confer With President on Depart mental Affairs. Senator Charles Curtis today signi fied his intention of going to Beverly, Mass., departing Friday, to confer with President Taft on departmental mat ters that may have to be settled be fore congress reconvenes. These, he said, he did not care to discuss at this time. He declared that no political significance was attached to his trip, though he would tell President Taft of the political situation in tne siaie section as he sees it. When asked in reference to the situ ation in Kansas, the senator said that he had visited several sections of the state while making speeches and that while he had not talked politics he had come into contact with men informed as to the political situation and felt sure from what they had said that the entire Republican ticket would be Asked what he would tell the presi dent regarding the mild indorsement given him at the meeting of the party council in Topeka, Senator Curtis said that he would be sorry to say that the Indorsement was not as strong and open as It should have been. He de clared that he was glad to see the couuty committees in many sections or the state now are indorsing the presi dent, and he said that it would have been better had the party council In dorsed the president in terms strong and open, pledging him the support of the Republicans of Kansas in carrying out the principles of the Republican PaSenator Curtis regretted that in re porting the party council some of the newspapermen present seemingly mis understood the object which he (Cur tis) desired to accomplish to have the council proceed under the primary election law instead of following the practice of the old convention system. He said in his opening remarks that he plainly told the party council the object of the primary law was to no awav with the practices that had grown up under the convention sys r th. law bad Drovided just what should be done at the council. It was not his purpose to prevent "ype from making a speech. Senator Curtis said. In fact he declared that he thought anyone who desired to make a speech should be given full opportunity to do so. SHIFTING THE FORCE Twenty National Bank Examiners Transferred to New Fields. wohinH-ton. Sent. 7. Twenty na tional bank examiners, about one-fifth c i Amn Avail hvtM ZOVern- ment were transferred to new fields .nov nrH.r from Lawrence o. Mnrrav ooTTi ntrn ier oi tne CUUCiivy. Pniinniiiir nlnselv on the sudden call for condition of national banks which was made on September 2, and the announcement of the comptroller that in the future he would personally pass on the application of banks which wished to hold reserves, the shake up among the examiners is taken as an other indication or tne aeienuiuaimu to enforce to the letter the provisions of the national bank act. The call for condition, it is now learned was specially issued to meet th. nssortion that the calls had been made at such regular intervals mat Mnk.rg knew about when to expect them and managed to arrange their affairs n.nrordinglV. The transfer of tne zo examiners today may be the forerunner of oth ers. The object of the changes, it was said at the treasury department, is to throw the examiners into fresh fields, where periodical acquaintance or possibility of Influence is lacking. Some of the cnanges are: t a. P. Kerr, southern California and Nevada with Claude Gatch, Ida ho and Oregon. Charles H. Fllson, northeastern Texas with H. C. Reed, southeastern Oklahoma and Arkansas.

Bruce Miller Says He Never Met Belle Elmore in This Country. Chicago, Sept. 7. Bruce Miller, the East Chicago man, whom Dr. Hawley Crippen named as an acquaintance of Bejle Elmore, Crippen's wife, denies that he ever met Mrs. Crfppen In this country. Miller also made emphatic denials of any intimation or charge that he might have held more than a platonic friendship for Belle Elmore while in England. When seen at his home Miller said: "I knew Belle Elmore in London for six years and a squarer little woman never lived. I never knew her in America or met her here. I don't see how Crippen can bring me into this case. 'I met Miss Elmore many times while we were playing on the stage in the same London music halls. She worked hard and minded her own busi ness and I never heard any gossip re garding her life until this case came UP- "I don t understand wnat crippen means by stating that his wife ha-i threatened to leave him for some man in the United States. As far as I am concerned he has no reason for say ing this." They Found a Scar. London. Sept. 7. The only new testi mony brought out at the Crippen trial and which will aouotiess De eiaDoratea later by the physicians, who conducted the post mortem was the statement of Mrs. Paul Martenetti that Mrs. Crip pen had once 'shown her a scar on her bodv which had the appearance of be ing from an old cut. The doctors who examines the body found In the Crip pen home discovered a piece of fle3h bearing a similar-scar.

BURROWS IS BEATEN. New Hampshire Falls into Line With Progressive West, i Republicans Win in Termont by a Reduced Majority. Milwaukee, Sept. 7. Returns re ceived up to 11 o'clock this forenoon indicate United States Senatoc La- Follette's renomination by 40,000 votes over his opponent, Samuel A. Cook. LaFollette ran at least 20.000 votes ahead of the state ticket, which is accounted for by reason of several candidates running for the guberna torial nomination. The pluralities' of McGovern and the other members of tne LaFolleTie state ticket with the exception of Tucker, the dead man. are estimated at 20,000. There is no doubt that LaFollette will have control of the platform conven tion at Madison and that he will have the next legislature back of him. So big was his vote that it carried with it a large majority of the legislative nominees. The LaFollette state tick et headed by Francis E. McGovern Is also nominated. The "insurgent" congressmen were renominated and added to their strength by the nomination of Henry C. Cochems, the former Wisconsin university football star. Cochems de feated Stafford for renomination in the Fifth district. Cochems is the man who placed LaFollette in nomina tion for president at the last Republi can national convention. When Senator LaFollette was noti- fled of his triumph, he made the fol lowing statement. "It shows that the people are awake to their interests; determined to re store representative government. This splendid government is nothing per sonal. It is the command of the peo ple that they choose to rule them selves and will not longer suffer them. selve to be dominated by special in terests. Congressman Charles H. Welsse, Democrat, easily defeated Burt Wil liams of Ashland, In the race for Unit ed States senatorial nomination of his party. Aside from the Republican state ticket and the United States sen atorial nomination contests, few of the nominations were- contested. Bad Day for Standpatters. Detroit, Mich., Sept. 7. In yester day's primary elections In Michigan Congressman Charles E. Townsend is conceded by supporters of Senator Bur- rows to have swept the state in the fight for the Republican endorsement for United States senator.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1910. AN EVEN MATCH. Speculation on World's' Cham pionship Series. Individual Members of the Two Teams Compared. GOOD PITCHING STAFFS Little to Choose Eetween Them Think Experts. Cubs Hare the Advantage in Catching Department. New Tork, Sept 7. A canvass of the players In the American league on the relative merits of the individual players of the Athletics of the Phil adelphia American league and the Cubs of Chicago, National league, oa ths forthcoming world's championship series was made with the result something like this. Starting with the catchers we must concede a big shade to the Cubs with their brilliant Kllng and their classy Archer, in comparison with Thomas and Livingstone, although Mack's re ceivers are better hitters than their ri vals. Going to the initial sack it should 1 t z;J Ifj'f C X At Left, Connie Mack of the Athletics. At Right, Frank Chance of the Chicago Nationals. be more than interesting to watch the work of two such grand and able vet erans as Chance ad, Davis, ieach one a, captain and team leader. Neither one of the above named can be classed with Chase as a fielder, but they are both long, hard, dangerous hitters, with Chance the faster and better base runner than his rtvaL At the keystone sack we have the slim, slick, brainy Evers and Eddie Collins, the bright light of the Mack tribe. The work of this pair will be closely observed and while the cat like Evers can skip over more terri tory in the field than his opponent Collins is the beter hitter and base runner. Shortstop shows the ever sparkling and hustling Tinker of the Cubs and the hard working Barry as the Philly choice. Barry is the better hitter and, though he is not the equal of the Cnb star as a sensational fielder, he is Just as sure and can cover nearly as much ground. It is a toss-up between the clever pair on the paths, with Tinker taking more chances In this department. As occupants of the far corner we have Steinfeldt, the hard hitting vet eran of the Cubs, and the youthful slugger Baker as his rival. Steinfeldt's only advantage over Baker is his bet ter knowledge of the game from his long experience at the third station. Eheckard takes high honors from Lord in left field, being better Tn all departments of the game. Oldring and Hoffman are a speedy pair, both fine fielders and speedy on the bases. Oldring is the better hitter. Schulte is a faster fielder and a bet ter base runner than Murphy, but Dan Is a slugger and does fairly well on the bases. The Chicago team, with Brown, Overall, Cole, Reulbach and Pfeister, and the Athletics, with Bender, Coombs, Morgan and Plank, can boast of the two classiest flinging corps in the game. If these pitching stars are cm edge when called upon, there will be little to choose between, as far as the box artists are concerned. Chance's men have always been re garded as a wonderful lot of clean cut fielders and base runners, but to the Athletics must be conceded the batting honors and if Connie Mack's men win the coming series, their hit ting powers should prove the main cog in enabling them to loom up as the next world's champions.

Woman, Lovely Woman) But Aids' Without Beautiful Hair No Woman Can Be Handsome. A great many newspapers and mag azines are printing pages on how a woman can be beautiful and keep beautiful. And all of them, as you can see for yourself, admits that no woman can be really beautiful unless she has lus trous and luxuriant hair. The women of Paris are, as a rule, beautiful, and a careful American ob server who has traveled much claims that their beauty is due to their knowledge of how toJkeep their hair luxuriant, which they do by using a superior hair tonic. Many American women are as wise as their French sisters, and that is why Parisian Sage, the quick acting and greatest of all hair restorers and tonics, is now having such a tremen- dous sale in America. We ask every woman reader of this paper to give this marvelous hair beautlner a tnorougn trial, and we gladly make them this liberal offer: Get a large 60 cent bottle from Stansfteld's Drug Store, 632 Kansas avenue, today. Use it as directed for two weeks. If at the end of that time you are tot satisfied with results, say so to Stansfield and he will give you your money back. Besides being a delightful and in vigorating hair dressing, Parisian Sage will cure dandruff, stop falling hair and itching of the scalp, or money back. Mail orders filled, all charges pre paid by the American maker, Giroux Mfg. Co., Buffalo, N. Y. The girl with the Auburn hair is on every bottle. K. II. BOYS' TRIP. Fred Lee and Ray Ghormley Mate European Tour. Had Little Money and Worked on Cattle Boat. TIUP COST THEM 300. Tisjted England, Scotland, France and Germany. Also Saw the Great 1'assiort Play iu Bavaria. Lawrence, Kan.. Sept. 7. Fred Lee and Ray Ghormley, two University of Kansas boys have Just returned to their homes from a tour of England and the European continent. The two college chums set out last spring as soon as the university had closed on their long trip. They want ed to see the Passion Play at Ober- aminergau. Their first objective noint was Mon treal, Canada, where they secured a job on a cattle boat. In this manner they earned their passage to Liver pool together with enough money for the return trip. From Liverpool, they went to Edinburg and there attended the world's missionary conference which was convening there. Then they set out afoot and on bicycles to see the historic places In Scotland. After completing their visit among the British and Scotch they went to the continent, and wheeled their way through the greater part of France and Germany and into Bavaria where they saw the Passion Play. Some days they made 90 miles on their bikes but most of the time they went much slow er, visiting as many of the places of historic interest on the way as possl ble. As the boys had some knowledge of the French and German languages, they did not have much trouble in getting through the various countries, The entire trip, including their rail road fare to and from Montreal did not cost the boys more than $300. Ray Ghormley lives in Hutchinson and Lee s home is in Columbus, Kan, He will be graduated from the uni versity this spring. He will then go Into the ministry. For some time while he has been attending the university, he had been doing ministerial work and has been making a great success of it. He is also a member of the student council of the university and a most activeworker in the University T. M. C. A.- HE HAD GOOD NEIGHBORS. Farmers Near Waterville Plow Land for Man in Bad Lack. Waterville, Kan., Sept. 7. The real Kansas spirit, the spirit of true broth erhood, which leads men to help in a substantial manner a fellow being who nas run up against a streaK of nara luck, has been forcibly exemplified in this vicinity. Several members of the Clarence Nichols family, who reside in Cottage Hill township, being ill with an attack of typhoid-, fever, left the head of- the house in a poor position to care for his far)hi'. work, and as a consequence the ground he had plan ned to plow to seed to wheat stood idle,, and" it looked to him as though he would be unable to get matters ar ranged t6 put in the crop for another year. But fortunately for Nichols he has good neighbors. A party of them, numbering twenty-one in all, learning of Nichols' plight, decided to plow his wheat ground for him, and without more ado they proceeded to the Nich ols farm with twenty plows and a total of sixtv-seven head of horses and started the job. which was completed in short order. The neighbors participating in this alruistic act were: Frank Roy, Gail Paul. C. Sture. Glen Allen, Grant Faulkner, George McHugh, C. E. Jack son, Sidney Powell, Ben Pugh, Elwood Nelson, M. M. Rice. Charles Argan bright, Charles Peterson, Frank Swo boda, Ole Larson, H. H. Vernson, Her bert Docherty, N. S. Vernson, John Quinn, Noah Allen and James Quinn. KAXSANS IX COLORADO. Many Will Remain During Months of September and October. Colorado Springs, Colo., Sept. 7. With the approach of the Indian sum mer, many Kansans who have been spending the last month in Colorado Springs, Colorado uity ana manuou, are planning to lengthen their stay and to remain throughout the delight ful months of September and October, generally considered the most pleasant in the Pike's Peak- region. New ar rivals continue to augment the large colonies already here. One imDortant factor wiucn is caus ing many families to lengthen their stay into the autumn months is the rifling recently made by the school authorities, whereby children of vis itors may enter school, for tne nrst few weeks or month, without tuition, and receive full credit for the work they do. This will be particularly true In Manitou and Colorado City. where the schools open" earlier than in Colo rado Springs. While the criso autumn days wnicn are particularly delightful, those who have been in the Pike's Peak region during August have had no reason to complain of heat. The mean tempera ture for the month has been 65.8 de grees, with a maximum of 88. and a minimum of 34 degrees, and with 55 per cent of sunshine. CORN WILL YIELD 40 BUSHELS. Trego County Farmer Has 200 Acres -That Looks Fine. WaKeeney, Kan., Sept. 7. It has been heralded abroad that the Trego corn crop was practically a failure this year. There must be some mistake In this report. Here comes James Finch, one of the Trego county corn raisers, who has 200 acres planted In the early part of April, and with proper cultiva tion, that will yield not less, than 40 bushels an acre. Mr. Finch says it is fine. There are other fields of corn in Trego county that will do as well. Frank Burnham. dealer in imple ments here, has sold more than fifty corn binders this season, and others will buy. This does not look as if the Trego county corn crop is a failure. Tnat tne people or waiteeney ana Trego county seem to have plenty of money, a circus here carried away about $3,000. The tent was crowded both afternoon and evening. The crops are a little shy of a full yield this year, but the people will always save a little more for circus amuse ment. They are progressive and pros perous. The WaKeeneyites have al ways tied to these two words, and this is the reason she now has her splendid system of waterworks and electric lights, and her county high school, and her thousands of shade trees and many admiring lawns. HAD A FINE STOCK EXHIBIT. Trego County Demonstrated It Could Put Up a Good Fair. WaKeeney, Kan., Sept. 7. The-first fair of the Trego county association has demonstrated that the fair associa tion can and will be made a permanent success. The gate receipts will pay in full every premium and leave a good margin to make further improvements in the grounds. Some fine Trego county hogs were exhibited by W. M. Mason, Harley McCullom and Ernest Ham; George Stevens had some fine Jerseys; Charles Faulkers, Fred Rens meier, Wash Mattingly and Ernest Musserman exhibited horses and Jas. Chalk a display of mules. J. W. Bing ham, Ed Porter, W. T. C. Cloud, Geo. Stevens and others brought in' dis plays of poultry. So far as WaKeeney is concerned many of her merchants displayed goods. W. N. Larabee, fur niture; Fred Anderson, windmills; Marzquand Myerly and J. J. Keraus, hardware, and Ross Waldo of Ellis had a fine display of wagons, buggies and automobiles. The fair was held two days, the last day the attendance being about 2,000. The first fair proved so successful that the directors gave it out that the association would get to work at once- to improve the grounds and erect the necessary buildings and stalls for a big fair in the fall of 1911. EXPERIMENT WITH IRRIGATION Seward and Reno County Farmers Have- Excellent Results. Liberal, Kan., Sept. 7 J. A. Miller of Seward county, near Liberal, has been doing some experimenting with sub-irrigation, which has proven very successful. He has raised a large crop of potatoes on land treated in this way. He constructed conduits which distrib uted the water under ground, irrigat ing eleven acres with one windmill. The material cost about nine dollars for a patch twenty rods long and ten rods wide. The Ploughe Brothers used irriga tion very successfully at their truck gardens northwest of Hutchinson this year. A gasoline engine and pump brought up water from the underflow and distributed it by ditches through the gardens. The Ploughes found that the irrigation was a great aid, espe cially during the hot and dfy weeks of the summer. They had five acres of tomatoes which had been Irrigated that were hard to beat. OAKLEY'S INTER-COUNTY FAIR Gove, Thomas, Logan and Sheridan Have Raised $10,000. Oakley, Kan., Sept. 7. Most of the counties In the state have fair asso ciations, but it remained for the busi ness men of Oakley to organize an inter-county fair, the first one in Kan sas. Oakley is located in -close prox imity to the four counties of Gove, Thomas, Logan and Sheridan coun ties. In the organization the Oak ley people invited the farmers of the four counties to combine with them in the organization, and the result has been that $10,000 was subscribed- for the first fair, to be held here Septem ber 21, 22 and 23. The association owns a quarter section adjoining Oak ley and have made many substantial improvements. An auditorium or ex hibit building, a race course, stalls, pens, grandstand and baseball diamond are among those already completed. The first meeting of the association is looked forward -to- being one off -the big eynts,;o4t.Oakley:!Njtj' C'Z. i JOHN WYMAN'S BROOM CORN. He Has a Force of 100 Mexicans Full ing the Brush. Hutchinson,; Kan., Sept 7. John Wyman of Hutchinson, who is harvest ing the broom corn crop on his land in Gray county, estimates that the brush will yield about one ton to five acres of land. At the present price of the broom corn, $100 per ton,this will bring an income of $20 per acre. Mr. Wyman has a force of over one hun dred Mexicans now at work pulling the I brush. He has contracted for a good deal of broom corn grown on land of others, harvesting it under contract. Besides the cash income from the brush, the owners have left the fodder, which is said to be a good feed crop in itself. WTCHITA MAN LOSES DLUIONDS Was in a Rock Island Sleeper Stones Valued at $1,500. Herington, Kan., Sept. 7. The at tention of the Rocklsland officials was called to robbery which occurred on a west bound Rock Island train near here.- Arthur Pauline, a Wichita man, en route west, awoke in his sleeper to find that diamonds valued at $1,500 had been taken from his clothing. The diamonds consisted of two rings and a stud. He at once reported the loss to the officials, and detectives are work ing on the case. Mr. Pauline is the owner of the Princess theater at Wichita. He was formerly a telegraph operator, but grew rich through a fortunate invest ment. HAD 400 ACRES IN WTIEAT. Niles Wiseman Harvested 8,000 Bush els Which Brought $8,000. -Wright, Kan:, Sept. 7. Wheat that tests 67 pounds to the bushel is some wheat. Niles Wiseman of Wright, Ford county, had one load that tested that, and several others testing over 65 pounds. This, it is claimed, is the record breaker for weight in Ford county at least. He harvested 8,000 bushels from 400 acres and sold it for nearly $8,000. RENO'S CORN CROP A PUZZLE.

Some fields are apparently go ing to make bumper crops, while Just across the road other fields are evi- FOR THE THIN AND SCRAWMY Samose Will Make You Plump and Rosy, Says Geo.- W. Stansfield. If you are getting thin, you are sick, although you may not know it. If you are losing weight steadily, there is something wrong that needs looking after. If you have always been thin it doesn't follow that you are sick, but you may not be healthy. You can not be strong if you are thin. The onlv way to increase the weight and gain health and flesh is by using Samose, the standard flesh-forming food and tissue builder. It mingles with the food you eat and ic assimilat ed so that all the flesh forming and tissue building elements of the food are retained in the system. This ex plains the great value of Samcse. Geo. W. Stansfield, druggist, 632 Kansas ave., Topeka., sells every pack age on a genuine guarantee to refund the money if it does not do all that is claimed for it. CURES Malaria is a species of blood poverty known as Anaemia; it is a condition in which the circulation is so weak and impure that it is un able to supply the system with sufficient nourishment and strength to preserve ordinary health. The real source of malarial infection is a question about which medical authorities differ. Some take the position that it is an atmos pheric poison, the germs of which are breathed into the lungs and thus transmitted to the circulation. Others advance the theory that persons become inoculated with the poison through the bites of mosquitos. While the profession differ about the actual method of malarial infection, they all agree that Malaria is a BLOOD DISEASE, and any treatment to successfully overcome its effects must PURIFY THE BLOOD. When the germs of Malaria get into the circulation, the nutritive properties of the blood are weakened, the rich, red corpuscles being gradually destroyed by the malarial poison. Then the symptoms of the disease begin to be manifest. In the first stages of Malaria the complexion becomes pale and sallow, the. appetite is affected, the sys tem grows bilious, and there is a general feeling of lassitude and weak ness. Malaria is an insidious poison and it gradually attacks other portions of the system, and if the germs are allowed to remain in tne blood, they some times give rise to serious dis eases and disorders. As the circulation becomes more thor oughly saturated with the mala rial infection, the digestion is deranged, chills and fever come and go, skin diseases, boils, sores and ulcers, etc. break out on the body, and after awhile the entire health becomes im paired. Malaria can only be cured by removing the germs from the blood. Purging the liver and bowels with strong, nauseating cathartics can never reach the real seat of the trouble, because such things do not affect the circulation. S. S. S. searches out and destroys every particle of malarial infection and builds up the blood to a healthy, nour ishing condition. Then the sys tem receives its required amount of nutriment, the bright red corpus cles begin to multiply in the circulation, sallow complexions grow ruddy and healthful, the liver and digestion are righted, the appetite improved, and the system vitalized and refreshed in every way. S. S. S. is a safe and pleasant remedy as well as an efficient one. Write for free book on the blood and any medical advice desired, no charge for either.

"Working towards the repeal of the inheritance tax law of Kansas, Mrs. Kmma Sankey, widow of Judge Robt. A. Sankey, whose estate is one of the largest yet probated in Sedgwick county, is making a state wide can vass for signatures to petitions being sent to every town in the state. Judge Sankey's estate amounts to $137,866. Mrs. Sankey will use all her ef forts to have the law repealed before the tax becomes due. Her husband died in the spring of this year. The inheritance tax payment falls due one year from the date of death. The petition which has been drawn by Judge Helm of Wichita, at the re quest of Mrs. Sankey, will be sent to influential members of the state leg islature, in order that they may re peal the inheritance tax law. It is as follows: "To the Legislature of the State of Kansas: "The undersigned petitioners, citi sens of the state of Kansas, respectful ly petition your honorable body to pass an act at the next general ses sion of the legislature repealing chap ter 24 8 of the session laws of Kansas for the year 1909, said act being en titled: 'An act to provide for the as sessment and taxtion of legacies and successions, and to prescribe the man ner and method by which to collect the taxes for which such provision is herein made," for the reason that the tax provided for in said act is unjust and oppressive to widows and orphans of this state. "Your petitioners believe that said act is entirely out of harmony with the principles and provisions contain ed in our state constitution intended to protect the interests of the home and family, and that such law ought not to have any place upon the statutes of our state." Mrs. Sankey's reasons and argu ments are best stated in the following extract from the letter which she is sending to the hanks where she is sending the petitions to be signed: "New York has a similar law with an exemption of one million dollars, while in Kansas our exemption is but five thousand dollars, which taxes all estates, working a hardship on the widows and children. This tax be comes a lien on the property and re mains such until paid. "With the present exception every family owning a farm or other prop erty sooner or later becomes a sub ject to this tax. "Judge Wilson of the district court of Sedgwick county, called mv atten tion to a case at Abilene, Kan. The husband and wife were taken" sick about the same time. Thirty days la ter the husband died, the estate be coming taxable. Forty days later his widow died, the estate again becoming icwvuk;. lenvuiB tne cniioren to pay n uuuuih iax, wnicn was assessed in less than three months time.

I m tyouu' fivm fL i Thirst-Quenching sufficient pressure may be brought to bear upon our next legislature -to re peal the present law, or at least raise the exemption to one hundred thou sand dollars which would not include the smaller estates nor work a hard ship on the widows and orphans in Bansas. "Personally, I believe that the di rect heirs of the deceased should be exempt from this tax as it is in Iowa." BACK FROM THE NORTH. Harry Whitney Finds Nothing in Dr. Cook's Hut. New Haven, Conn., Sept. 7. Harry Whitney, the sportsman who, with Paul Rainey of Cleveland, sailed for the Arctic regions last June to hunt, have returned, and the party not only brought back with them the live game they went after, but moving pictures of walrus, musk ox. polar bear and fox hunts, besides scenes of Esquimaux life. The party, which was in com mand of Cant. Bartlett, who accom panied Peary on his successful North pole expedition, took with them a mov ing picture apparatus in charge of a professional. Besides these, Mr. Whit ney personally secured several hundred negatives. According to Mr. Whitney, the ex pedition was most successful, the party bringing back with them live speci mens of the musk ox, the walrus, polar Dear and blue fox, besides many skins. The hunters visited Sparbo. the camp of Dr. Cook, and found there the hut in which the Brooklyn physician Uvea. No data of any sort were dis covered, merely the shell of the hut remaining. This was made of make shift material, with whalebones sup porting the roof and the sides and roof thatched with musk oxen hide. At no time on the journey, according to Capt. Bartlett, did anything come to light which would tend to substantiate in any way Dr. Cook's well known tale of pole discovery. "The northern point reached by us," said Mr. Whitney, "was 79:20, and at this latitude I planted the New Haven Yacht club flag, which I took with me at the request of my club. Going up, we took on our Esquimaux guides, eleven in all. Five of these were men who went with Peary on his last trip, and three accompanied him to the pole. Our finds were made in what is called Ellesmere land, which is a little south of where the Roosevelt wintered." Whitney declined to discuss Dr. Cook or the records that he is alleged to have left at Etah. He said: "We anchored at Etah, but neither I nor any members of the crew went ashore there. We did, however, meet the Danish Arctic explorer, Rasmus den, In North Greenland. He is going to winter there for three years and is going over the ice heaps." MAN SHOT TO DEATH. After Engaging in a Fist Fight About a Horse. Bakersfield, CaL, Sept. 7. Joseph Lafferty, 40 years old, and married, an employe of the Kern County Land company, was shot to death at the Rosedale ranch, south of Bakersfield, on Sunday by J. R.

Loftus re sented Lafferty's interference and a fight ensued, Loftus being given a se vere beating. It is said that two brothers of Loft us are New York diamond merchants and that he was sent west by them to get him away from the temptations of city life. Nothing is knwn here of Lafferty.

Austin, Texas., Sept. 7. The bill that legalizes unsecured claims of rail roads when in receivership hands has been finally passed by the legislature with the necessary two-thirds major ity to put it into effect immediately upon the governor's signature. No measure considered at this special session of the legislature aroused more interest among the railroads and out side investors in thpse properties. While the bill was aimed specifically at the International and Great North ern, which has about $1,500,000 of unsecured claims, exclusive- of about 14.000.000 loaned it by the Goulds, outstanding against it, its provisions are of general application. It is not improbable that other Texas railroads will have to undergo reorganization in order to conform to the Btock and bond law when their present outstand ing excessive bond issues mature, in which event they may have to follow the receivership course and find them selves in the same predicament as the International and Great Northern. At any rate, the bill was vigorously opposed by the general attorneys of all the principal railroads of the state. The assertion was freely made by the opponents of the measure that its en actment would put a stop to railroad construction in Texas ana wouia De a serious blow to other investments in this state. There was a general teei- inir on the cart of members or tne legislature and others that the Inter national and Great JNortnern snouia be made to pay its unsecured aeDts. A large part of the 1.5UU,uuu out standing against it are affirmed judg ments in personal injury cases. A con siderable amount of other damage claims and labor acounts is embraced in the total. ABOVE THE RIVER 328 FEET. Southern Pacific Builds One of High est in World. Viaduct. Tex.. Sept. 7. The South ern Pacific railr6ad is constructing a new bridge over the Pecos river here to replace the one .erected fifteen years ago. It is stated that the new structure will be one of the highest railroad bridges in the world. The track will be 328 feet above high water mark of the river. The new bridge will be 2080 feet long. It is of steel and of much heavier type than the old bridge. The heavy increase of traffic of the Southern Pacific and the use of larger and heavier locomo tives were the causes that led to the decision to bridge the Pecos river with a stronger structure. It is ex pected that the new bridge will be finished in about four months. The construction work is being carried on ranidlv and with no interruption of the reeular traffic over the road. There are but two higher bridges than this one in the world. One of these is In France and the other in Peru. The Pecos river at this point flows through a great slit in the earth. From the top of the bridge the stream in the depth of the canyon far below appears no wider than a small brook. WAMEGO TO WESTMORELAND. With S35.0O0 in Subscriptions New Kansas Road Will Build. Wamego, Kan., Sept. 7. The Wa mego and Rock Creek railway like Banauo's ehost will not down. It is ud and looks better than ever. A con tract has been made between the local promoters and an Omaha contractor that leaves but 3&,uuu in stocK to De subscribed for. The proposition as it stands as follows: The contractor agrees to build the road complete ready for rolling stock and in pay ment take $85,000 in stock together with the $46,000 of township aid bonds and the balance in cash. Of the necessary balance Westmoreland has pledged $30,000 leaving a balance of $35, 000 in stock to be subscribed for along the route of the railroad, the contracts provide for acceptance in 30 days and further provide the road should be ready for operation early next year. The promoters believe the balance of stock necessary can be sold and from now on a strong effort in that direction will be made. WI1L ROUTE VIA THE PANAMA. Steamship Line to Solve California Fruit Rate Question. Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 7.-The shipping firm of Bates Chesbrough will ship citrus fruit to New York by way of Panama when they get their new steamship line established as a solution to the question of any pro posed increase in freight rates on cit rus fruits by the railroads. Mr. Bates promises a service not to exceed twenty-one days in length from Los Angeles to New York and possibly less. He figures on thirteen days to the isthmus and six days from the isthmus to New York. This would leave two days for unloading at Bal- Doa, snipping across the isthmus and reloading at Colon, which is probably more than would be necessary. The railroad time to New York is four teen days. This service will open southeastern markets to California lemons if it proves practicable." said Mr. Rates today. "The foreign lemons ha a practical monopoly of the southeastern iraae. California lemons are charged the flat rate of $1 per box to Memphis and from there they have to pay the rate m addition to all points east of the Mississippi and south of the Ohio. We will send a ship into New Orleans and Charleston every third t trip irom colon and will carry Cali fornia lemons by water to those points." Wm.

To enliven the maneuvers at the Fort Riley camp of instruction, the Oklahoma national guard should re produce its inimitable farce of trying to capture Crazy Snake. A large crowd braved the rain at Fargo, N. D., on Labor day to hear Colonel Roosevelt speak. A large crowd did the some thing in Topeka to watch a circus parade pass by. Dynamiters wrecked a large bridge works and three saloons at Peoria, 111., the other night. It is almost needless to state that they had no Intentions of putting the saloons out of business. Noting that Iowa has a girl who can throw a baseball 187 feet, the Boston Advertiser throws a little cold water on the feat by remarking: This is great work; but did it go where she aimed it? It is estimated that 112,000,000 have been spent by Kansans during the past three years for automobiles. And the best feature of this is that Kansans could well afford to expend this sum of money in such a fashion. There will probably be Jealousy In the ranks of the Ananias club. An other organization of that sort was started the other day at Fargo. N. D., by a Socialist, and he awarded the premier chair in It to none other than Colonel Roosevelt. Perhaps it will be considered lese majcste. but attention, nevertheless, is hereby directed to the fact that a huge crowd of people turned out in a rain torm on the streets of St. Paul to ex tend a hearty greeting to President Taft on his arrival in that city. Kansas' reputation has been saved. Hail stones have Anally fallen in the Mate this season of the size of "hen's eggs." And the honors incident there to go to Chanute. A summer in Kan sas without hall stones of this caliber making an appearance would not be natural. Thirty more aeroplanes have been ordered by the French army. This will give it an aerial flotilla of sixty machines by the end of the year. Thus is France forging to the front in one particular in the great universal peace movement. No other nation will have nearly as many engines of war of this type when January 1, 1911, rolls around. If you didn't subscribe to the fund to continue the tuberculosis camp when the canvass was made yesterday. It is not too late to do so today, nor will it be too late tomorrow or the next day. But, as the Earl of Chester field wrote in one of his famous letters to his son: Never put off till tomor row what you can do today. This is unusual. A saving of $11, 000,000 has been made in the past year in the administration of the af fairs of the postofflce department. And instead of taking the credit for it., Mr. Hitchcock, the postmaster general, and his assistants pass this credit on to the energy and co-operation of the postofHce employees throughout the country. One thing is noticeable about the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railway company. When it has big positions that need big men to fill them it does not have to hunt outside its own force to find them. This is made apparent again by the promotion of Mr. Kouns to the general managership of the eastern lines and Mr. Fox to a similar place on the western lines. There is a great problem which every politician, every preacher, every -raoit.r vprr business man has to face nowadays, constantly and always, says the New Tork Mail. Me nas to race it .nrf inivn it. It is the problem of giv tng the people something better all the time. It is no longer possible. In this a-s of the world, to g-ive the people the same old thing. They will have thing that is better today than the one they had yesterday, or they will know the reason why. TAFT AND CONSERVATION. Neither attractive nor startling phrases are turned, nor are there any catch-sayings to hold the attention of the crowd for a minute and get its applause, in the address which was de livered the other day by President Taft at the National Conservation congress. But it is solid meat to the bone and there isn't much bone. Any man who has not read the speech yet should hunt up his copy of Monday's .paper and do so. It may be a little dry read ing to some, but there is more of the stuff that is real in it on the great sub ject of conservation than has yet been presented to the public. There is much more to the conserva tion movement, as President Taft so ably points out, than merely announc ing your sentiments in favor of the proposition and Indulging in a few rhapsodies and glittering generalities on its admirableness and desirability. But that is all many of the leaders in the movement have been doing for the last few years. Hard work. Intricate work must be done to transfer conser vation from the realm of theory to that of practice. And the time to begin that work Is now. Not only does President Taft ex plain fully and clearly each and every phase of the subject of conservation, but he has ideas as to how some of them can be worked out. That's what counts. A curable disease remains a disease and grows worse instead of better until a remedy is applied. And millions of words tittered on the need and the desirability for the conserva tion of the natural resources of the nation are not going to conserve an lota of any of them until just and equitable plans have been developed to bring about the matter at issue. President Taft is pointing the way to these plans. In this he is rendering an Immeasurable service to the people of this nation. Mr. Taft graciously and generously acknowledges the fact that the present movement for conserva tion was Instigated in the main by his predecessor in office, Theodore Roose velt. And a reading of the president's speech ought to convince an one that the Roosevelt conservation policies are in mighty good hands. If President Taft has a congress with which he can do business, conservation policies will be worked out, before his term of of fice expires, into laws which will be worth -"while. THE APPROPRIATION PROBLEM. "The real remedy for unnecessarily increasing appropriations lies In the adoption of a rule upon the organiza tion of the house in the Sixty-second congress, authorizing the appointment of one committee sufficiently large to represent all sections of the country, vested with exclusive Jurisdiction over all estimates for appropriations," writes Congressman James A. Tawney In the American Review of Reviews for Sep tember in an illuminating article enti tled "Federal Appropriations: Their Rapid Increase." This would be a genuine reform In the rules of the house one that would be of practi cal benefit to the people. It would save to the federal treasury from 50 to 75 millions of dollars annually. "Although the suggested change In the rules Is within the power of the house to make, Its accomplishment would be Impossible without the aid of a strong public sentiment. This is so for the reason that it will encounter the determined opposition of about ISO members who are, or have been, mem bers of one or the other of these seven appropriating committees. The mem bership of these committees is natural ly Jealous of the prestige, and influ ence that attaches to service on a com mittee having appropriating jurisdic tion. Their combined effort and influ ence would, therefore, have to be met and overcome. For this reason the pro posed modification of the rules cannot be effected until, through the press and magazines of the country, there is crea ted a public sentiment so strong in its favor that members who have not had service on any of these committees will feel compelled. In the interest of econ omy, to favor a rule for the appoint ment of a single committee to have control of all appropriations." WHICH FAIR WILL YOC ATTEND? Under the above query, the Ellsworth Reporter gave voice recently to edi torial opinion to the effect that the fair to be held in Topeka next week will be the one to be held in Kansas thU year which deserves the patronage of the men and women all over the state who are naturally interested in fairs, and Just as naturally desirous of at tending the one that will return them the most In the way of profit and en joyment. And what the Reporter had to say on the subject is well worth reprinting. It follows: 'The question naturally arises in the mind of the farmer, the business man, and the one who wants to see the most and the best, which of the three fairs in Kansas this year will they attend. Will it be Topeka, Hutchinson, or Wichita? "Topeka with its many miles of splendidly paved streets and beautiful homes, holds out many other ad vantages to those who want to see something worth while things that the other places can. not hope to give. "The state fair at Topeka this year will be larger and more complete than. ever before. A larger amount of mon ey has been raised for prizes, many new buildings have been erected, and the fair grounds have been beautified and everything is being done to add to the comfort of the thousands who will visit the place during fair week. "Paul Huycke in a letter to us says that Topeka will have the real state fair with the greatest number of ex hibits from all over the country. "The different points of interest one may see while attending the fair at To peka are the state capitol of Kansas, the governor's mansion. Santa Fe shops and office building and hospital, state asylum, and Vinewood park. "If you are planning to visit arrange your plans so that you may Btop at Topeka, Kansas, from the 10th to the 17th of September." Many other newspapers published In various parts of the state have taken the same stand as the Ellsworth Re porter. They wouldn't be expressing such sentiments, either. If they were not in line with those held by the peo ple In their communities. All this goes to show i that a goodly portion of the people of the state look upon the com ing fair here as the real thing in the fair line in Kansas and at Topeka as the logical place for the holding of a state fair. JOURNAL ENTRIES Among the undesirables are the peo ple who like to be coaxed. Almost everybody who looks for the best of it gets the worst of it eventu ally. Some folk make a mistake getting macrled and others make a worse one by not hitching up. You don't hear about, so many oper ations for appendicitis as you did. Maybe it is no longer fashionable. A man who can boss his son after the lad has grown up can boss any thing. Indeed, he is capable of com manding an army.

Reflecting on the fact that the life of a Kansas bootlegger is not a path of roses and that it Is going to be doubly difficult in the future, the Em poria Gazette, always most solicitous in giving good advice, suggests that parents who are training their chil dren for the bootlegging profession should govern themselves accordingly.

Soon the rush of farm work will be over, all of the county fairs will have been attended, the children sent away to school and the fall chores will receive attention. Along on the list will appear work on the roads. The progressive farmer realizes that it takes more than the spring work to keep the roads in good condition. He knows tha"t a good road past his place adds- to the value of his prop erty. Fifty years ago there was some excuse for bad roads, for our country was poor. Now it is rich, there is no excuse. Good roads attract pop ulation as well as good schools and churches. A larger lad can be drawn by one horse over a good road than by two over a bad one. Good roads encourage the greater exchange or products and commodities between communities, and causes more good fellowship among people than all of the sermons in the world stacked up.

The stage of civilization in the countries of Europe is tested when cholera gains such a foothold on that continent as it has now. One of the most terrible of pestilencej puts tho efficiency of governments and the de velopment of society to the proof. It is certain that Russia will make bad work of its struggle against cholera through the remainder of the summer and fall. The Russian authorities have proved unable to stamp out the disease in St. Petersburg, the capital of the czar's empire, in the winter, much leas to rid their metropolis of It in warm weather. In Southern Italy the conditions are such that the government will be hard pressed to stop the pestilence quickly- and prevent it from spreading. Obedience to the civil authorities is not yet a confirmed habit of thought and action in those parts oZ the Ital ian peninsula. But when cholera reaches the Ger man frontier it will be stopped, al most absolutely. It may never gain the smallest foothold in the German

empire. Austria-Hungary will prove nnpNr n n wo 1 1 .hi. t U.PH OUT thft nearly as well able to keep out the pestilance which all Europe areaas. France. Great Britain. Holland, Bel- glum, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland will all meet any possiDie attack of cholera with efficiency of highly advanced civilization and the latest weapons of science. Spain, Portugal and Greece are not so well prepared to encounter and beat off so virulent and terrifying a scourge. Cleveland Leader. APPROACH OF COLD DAYS.

Word comes from Newport that "prominent summer residents" there are suffering from nervous and phy sical prostration. The members of the colony have been kept on the go almost continually for the last month with dinners and luncheons, parties and other forms of social gayety. The result has been that a number of the women and some of the men have felt the strain. Several have fainted dur ing social entertainments, and in one case a man and his wife have hurried off to the mountains for rest. Let us hope they may get the need ed recuperation. But what is this as an example of holiday making? The value of our New England summer re sorts is the relief which they afford from the strenuous exertions of the so-called social season here in town, To overwork in the endeavor to find relaxation is a preposterous scheme. Better let social gayety go and potter around in bathing suits in the unfash ionable colonies with which our coast ia populated. Boston, Post. OMAR'S WILDERNESS. "nh vlM.m.

THE EVENING STORY "Kola; Twenty-Three." (By Martha McCulloch-Williams.) "My child, are you sure?" Mrs. Creston ejaculated with a nervous lift of the brows. Alice Moore, her daughter, six months married, sat up suddenly, dig ging her fists baby fashion into much swollen eyes. She was an uncommon ly pretty young woman,' but had wept and raved herself out of all comeli ness in the hour she had waited for her- mother. Mrs. Creston had an swered a tempestuous summons, ex pecting nothing more than the usual after-honeymoon quarrel, and been stunned by a demand to take her daughter home at oncef "As sure as one can be over the phone," Alice said, her voice breaking on every word. "To think Joe should act so! I I wouldn't mind so much if it was anybody young and pretty but to slight me for that hateful old thing!" "You forget you haven't told me," Mrs. Creston coaxed. Alice had sunk back among her pil lows. From them she said: "She's a Miss Smith of all names Joe knew her years ago it seems and actually, she behaves as though he belonged to her. He has made me have her here well, at first I didn't mind though I never really liked her. Still, she was so plain, and ever so much older than he was I couldn't well object. And she has a nice house of her own, and one meets good- people there the sort I do want to get in with. Her cook is an artist I said in fun. I meant to steal the cook away then Miss Smith came back at me, laughing hard. "Do if you can. Then I can take Joe with a perfectly good conscience." I must say that was bold, Mrs. Creston interrupted bridling. Her daughter went on: "Joe laugh ed as much as any of us but he hasn't been quite the same ever since. I told him, coming here, I thought she was an old cat and he said: 'What a pity more women aren't catty.' But the next day he brought me a new ring, and the day after took me to the opera so I overlooked things until last week. Then we had box seats for the Savoy and I simply couldn't lift my head you know what my headaches are how I can't bear anybody about me. I told Joe he must go and he did and took her then today I She broke off. shuddering strong ly, her hands over her face. "Well! Mrs. Creston encouraged. Alice Bat up again, her hands to her forehead. "You'll take me home, of course and and have a law.er to see about a separation. I'll never agree to a divorce it would please them too well." "Alice! Can't you tell a straight story?" Mrs. Creston asked sharply. Again Alice shuddered: "I'm com ing to the worst part," she said, drop ping her hands. "This morning she called over the 'phone rather made her maid call that In itself was sus picious. When I answered I could hear her, indistinctly, prompting the girl what to say. And the girl said: Oh! Mrs. Moore, please tell Mr. Moore, the moment he comes home, he is wanted amidships kola: twen ty-three. He'll understand you won't forget? Then, of- course. I asked. Who wants him?' and the answer was: 'Just a family friend. But be sure to send him unless you do, he'll lose a great chance.' You see they have an understanding talk in cipher as it were." "What did you answer?" Mrs. Cres ton asked. Alice bridled. "I hung up the re ceiver with a bang," she said, begin ning to beat a tattoo upon the carpet. Her mother sighed, knitting her forehead, but after a minute said: "Well! There's nothing for it but to wait and watch. As sure as Joe Moore commits himself fully, home you come. I wish, though, you could wait a few years he s rising so, you could get such splendid alimony." An hour later Joe. the culprit, and the ensnaring: Miss Smith stood con sidering covetously three particularly fine rugs. Each was unique after its kind together they were the pitiful wreck and remnant of a poor gentle man's collection. The collector was in a hospital, and would never leave it alive. Miss Smith had somehow found out about him, and was doing her best to salve his pride. He had friends willing to bury him, but he wanted to bury himself, as well as to pay hospital charges. The rugs, well sold, would do both Joe, who had a house to embellish, a wife to pamper, could not spend money to better purpose. -They had talked over before Joe went west on a flying trip. The purchase was to be kept a profound secret from, Alice until her birthday, next month, when the rugs would be spread out to surprise and de light her. She had no discriminating rug knowledge, but was mightily im pressed with the fact that to own rare ones was a sort of hallmark of artistic plenishing. Miss Smith liked her nega tively, albeit she had the usual woman sense that Joe, her some time protege, had chosen rather ill. It was to keep the secret Inviolate the cipher call had been agreed on. Miss Smith thought she knew women, but it had not dawned upon her that Alice would i be jealous. She had made the call urgent because another possi ble purchaser had appeared with a dealer at her elbow to prompt and stimulate bidding. Joe had got the message through hi office, to which his friend had sent it as well as his house. He touched th silkiest of the rugs caressingly, saying rather low: "It feels like Allle's hair." Then blushing, "You don't mind. Remember I haven't seen her for three whole days." "No, I don't mind in the least; bridegrooms ought to stay foolish a year at least," Miss Smith said, pick ing up a second rug.' "This is mine," she went on. "Two are 'enough for you. I'd limit you to one, only I'm cramped for rug space." Tm going to pay for the three," Joe said calmly. "Please, ma'am, you take choice." i "You are a fool, Joe In spite of being sensible," Miss Smith answered, laugh ing softly. "You can't give me things now you are married not though I did more than half bring you up." "Why not?" Joe demanded. "I'll make three thousand out of thla western bus. iness, and it came through you "Alice will need it all and more. In fact, my son, you'll learn in time that 'all and more' is the motto of matri mony,'' Miss Smith interrupted. Joe gave her a hurt look. "I don't believe It asking your pardon," he said stoutly. "It may be with some wives but Alice! Tiilce is. as gener ous as sunshine." "I hope you are right there may be exceptions," Miss Smith said, wav ing him good-by as they left the meeting place. When he was out of sight, sne smiled at first with merry malice, then somewhat sadly. As she walked on something haunted her the bang ing of the receiver on the hook. She had some way caught It, as one catches weird sounds at the end of messages. Being wise In women ways, also full of leisure, she decided to see Alice right away. Thus she encountered Mrs. Creston upon the steps. That lady's frigid, yet reproachful eyes, told her that she had done well to come. Smiling her best, she put out a detaining hand. saying pleasantly: 'Mrs. Creston, do pleast turn back. Your aaugnter must decide something right away. and I'm sure will want your advice." Mrs. Creston gasped. Here, indeed. was adventure. But before she could make up her mind what to say, she was In Jier daughter's presence. Fur ther, Miss Smith was explaining. "My dear child, surprises are al ways stupid but don't you dare tell Joe I betrayed him. I wouldn't only you ought to have choice all the rugs are adorable but one has one's fancies. So please put on your hat and come with us. Eyes are worth so much more than words as we go I'll tell you the whole story." Late that night Alice looked up from Joe's shoulder, to say, as she stroked his cheek: "You must ask the nicest men you know to dine with us next week I'm going to make a little party then for our dear Miss Smith." (Copyrighted 1910, by Asso ciated Literary Press.) Airship Control. An English engineer thinks that he has fallen upon a valuable discovery. He is demonstrating his power to con trol from the ground the movements of the small Zeppelin balloon by ma nipulating the keyboard of an electri cal transmitter. It is his claim that he can sit in London, send an airship of size to the continent and drop flow ers in the backyard of some friend or explosives upon the fortifications of an enemy. Count Zeppelin has proved that under favoraDle conditions he can drive a dirigible balloon over a. given city and that he can carry enough nigh explo sives to blow up about everything in sight. But he has not shown that a balloon can do this at a high rate of speed, and speed Is necessary if an air ship is to escape the gunners beneath. For it is not to be presumed that an army expecting the visit of a hostile airshiiD of any kind would allow the aerial craft to hover over a fort long enough to get the exact bearings and crop explosives. Just as the torpedo boat was follow ed by the torpedo boat destroyer, so the war balloon will assuredly have to cope with guns specially Invented to reach it. For scouting purposes the aeroplane or the dirigible may have Important functions. Dirigibles of the Zeppelin type may even be constructed with a capacity sufficient to transport a con siderable number of men. We may even have whole fleets of aerial trans ports. But it is quite another thing to send a balloon over a tort ana main tain it at a level sufficiently low for the purpose of dropping explosives ac curately upon a given object. Nevertheless, the- English engineer's experiments are Interesting. Anything that tends to make warfare more dan gerous likewise tends to prevent com ibats. Philadelphia Inquirer. Steel Trust as Cat Buyer. A rat got tangled up in one of the dynamos which supply power for the great blast furnace mill of the United States steel ccrporation at Gary, Ind. It required several hours to separate the rat's remains from the dynamo, and in the meantime the corporation was losing money at the rate of a thousand dollars a minute. Now the steel trust is advertising for cats. Ad vertisements have been inserted in the Gary newspapers offering 50 cents apiece, with no limitations as to age, sex, size, pedigree or character. Fifty cents a head Is a good price for cats, and the officials of the steel trust are likely to have to contend with an embarrassment 'of offerings. When the news percolates to all the cities and small towns of Indiana there will be a rush of feline ship ments to Gary, and the steel trust will find itself with a surplus of cats scarcely less troublesome than the ov erplus of rats with which it has been contending heretofore. Hundreds of Indiana families will willingly part with all their feline possessions at a compensation of 50 cents per cat. Some thousands of small boys will ex plore the alleys and woodsheds until the last backyard fence is denuded. Every express messenger whose run extends in the direction of Gary will be overflowing with packages of liv ing, howling freight consigned to the United States Steel Corporation. The man who put that advertise ment in the Gary papers evidently knows more about making steel than he does about buying cats. Also he has a very inadequate conception of the number of cats in this country, and the number of cat owners, who are almost deliriously anxious to sell at any price whatsoever.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE J 0 URNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER. 7,1910. 5 r UNITED TATES IS Senator Bereridge Addresses the Conservation Congress V On States Rights' as Related to v Natural Resources. THE PROVINCIAL IDEA He Declares Is Responsible for Many Fublic Ills. Evils Ended and Progress Won by the Nation. fet. Paul, Sept. 7. Senator Albert J. Beveridge, at the National Conserva tion Congress, spoke as follows: The United States IS. The American people are a Nation not forty-six na tions. Our history is the story of the strug gle of the national sentiment of all th-3 people, which special interests for their selfish purposes sought to discourage, against the provincial sentiment of some of the people, which special inter ests for their selfish purposes sought to encourage. Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indi ana, Who Delivered an Address on The Young Man's Duty" Before the Conservation Congress. The parent of the provincial idea in American government was the British crown. The British kings believed that if the colonies were separated by local pride, prejudice and jealousy the British policy would be easier. They knew that if the colonists were united by common interests,- sentiment and purpose, the British policy would Be harder. And that policy was to perjirj the spocial interests of the United Kingdom to exploit the people of the colonies. Therefore, from" King James to King George the British crown fostered local pride, prejudice, jealousy and hostility among the colonies. Divided in geog raphy for convenience of British gov ernment, the British kings kept them divided in spirit for the interests of British manufacturers. Every British law which forced the revolution was a law to help the special interests of the United Kingdom monopolize the mar kets of the separated colonies. The revolution was the war of the people, for the moment united, against the special interests that had plundered them when divided. Such is the historic origin of Ameri- can provincialism. Washington and his Continentals were the infant national idea in uniform and manning the shot ted guns of liberty; the British and their Tory and Hessian allies were the full grown provincial idea behind the bay onets of oppression. The colonists en tered the conflict under many flag-?: the American people emerged from the struggle carrying a single banner. Our first attempt at government was a failure because the royal British idea of provincialism still was powerful. The local pride, prejudice and Jealousy of separate colonies sprang up when their common danger was over. The Articles of Confederation was the un happy result. Washington declared that that government was contemptible. It was the provincial idea carried to its logical conclusion. And so it fell. The people's cruel necessities com- pelled the reassertion of the national Idea, and the constitution was that Idea's immortal child. The Articles f Confederation declared that "we, the states" formed the government; the constitution declares that "we, the peo ple." formed the government "to pro mote our general welfare." Yet into that "great ordinance of nationality as Chief Justice Marshall calls our constitution, crept defects which the statesmen of that day could not pre ventdefects which have been the source of most of our troubles since; and most of them come from that pro vincialism we had inherited from the policy of the British kings. Where The Bargains Are Genuine TOMORROW will be Laundry Accessories -Clothes Hampers, etc. As the constitution was adopted, "states' rights" .were not mentioned. Washington was elected president; congress was in session and the na tional government under way. The tenth amendment 'came to quiet those who were preaching the paradox that the general government of all the peo ple would oppress the people. Noisiest of these was Patrick Henry, then gov ernor of Virginia, who refused to at tend the constitutional convention and opposed the ratification of our funda mental law. Upon the embers of pro vincialism he threw the inflammable brushwood of his excited rhetoric. States' IUghts. Being in the constitution, the states' rights provision is as valid as any other amendment. But such fs its origin and spirit; and its misinterpretation never must be permitted to nullify the na tion's interests, waste the nation's re sources, plunge the nation into war or prevent the general welfare of the whole people. Now, as always, the danger has been not co much that the nation will interfere with the rights of the states, as that the states will inter fere with the rights of the nation. After the national government was started its first conflict with provin cialism was in the whisky rebellion in Pennsylvania; the special interests who dealt in rum in the name of state sov ereignty defied the execution of the na tion's laws; but Washington put down that first states' rights rebellion, in the name of the government of all the people. Then came the resistance of special interests to the laws of all the people in Andrew Jackson's day The voice of Jackson in his day, like the voice of Washington In his day, was the voice of a united people against spe cial interests who, behind the shield of provincialism, sought to exploit all the people. Then came the special interests that thrived on slavery and under the pro vincial interpretation of "states' rights" sought to destroy the nation they could not control. But the national spirit responded to Abraham Lincoln's call to arms; and in the mightiest war or history a million bayonets again wrote across our constitution these words of the American people's immortality: "This is a nation." Special interests were robbing and corrupting the whole people by lot teries; special interests were poison ing morals with the leprosy of ob scene literature. They existed under state protection. The nation alone could stop them. They denied the na tion's right to interfere. But the na tion did stop them and the supreme court sustained the nation's power. It was the same with special Inter ests that were selling diseased meats, poisoned foods and adulterated drugs to the masses; these special interests again fought the nation's effort to pro tect the nation's people. Yet today national laws shield the health and lives of the people. These evils flour ished under the provincial idea of the DeoDle divided: they perished under the national idea of the people united. And again today we see these two ideas arrayed in battle for and against the national control of corporate capi talization upon which so largely de pend just rates and prices to the peo ple. Not only the ending of evils which injured the people, but most of the people's progress has been won by the national idea over the resistance of the provincial idea. For example, Madison vetoed the first Internal improvement bill, declaring in his veto message that congress had no power to build roads, dredge harbors, improve waterways. But the people needed these things that they might trade and mingle and win that prosperous happiness which come only from being one people under one flag. And so congress passed the in ternal improvement bill over Madison's veto and today no one questions the nation's power to make internal im provements; today the only question is how the nation can most wisely do that work. Disease Knows No State Lines. For a hundred years the provincial idea kept the quarantine of the nation's ports exclusively in the hands of the states; but if pestilence entered at a port within one state it attacked the people of other states. The germs of yellow fever neither knew nor respect ed state lines. And so the death of the people in the past and their peril in the future called for national quarantine; and states now are co-operating with the nation. And so the history of the American people has been the narrative of the making of the nation, the record of the compounding of a people, the chronicle of the knitting together of one great brotherhood. We have had to end our evils by united action; and each evil ended has bound us closer together. 'We have had to provide our safety and con venience acting as one people; and ev ery such effort has strengthened our nationality. It is an inevitable process. And it is a safe process for all except those special interests who wrong or ex ploit the whole people. For the American people as a mass can be trusted. The composite intelli gence and combined conscience of the American people is the mightiest force for wisdom and righteousness on all the globe. Special interests by the Various devices of politics can control groups of the people when divided; they canruat control all the people when united. And so special interests are always on the side of the provincialism of the peo ple; always against the unity of the people.

Even in solving the problems of its own people, every state must remember that its people are part of the American people. Of states as of men it is written, "No state llveth to itself alone." Just as the idea of provincialism has worked other evils, bo it has worked the waste of our national re sources. The provincial idea was that the natural wealth belonging to all the American people should be hand ed over for nothing to special inter ests. This was done under the plea of encouraging individual enterprise and the hastening of local develop ment. The Provincial Idea. And so forests which once belonged to all the people have been ruthlessly felled and upon their ruins have risen the empires of our lumber kings. Priceless deposits of coal, iron ore and copper which once belonged to all the people have been surrendered freely to special interests; and these sources of the people's revenue which should have flowed into the people's treasury to pay the expense of the peoples gov ernment have been diverted by the ditch dug by the provincial idea, into the treasury of multi-millionaires un til the peril of their swollen fortunes is one of the problems confronting American statesmanship. All this waste and robbery of the people's wealth must be stopped. No ancient and provincial interpretation of states' rights must prevent the en forcement of the people's rights. No special plea for hasty local develop ment V must hinder healthy general development. No temporary state pol itics compelled by the wealthy few must impair permanent national statesmanship for the general good of art. Had we kept the natural resources of all the people and made private interests pay the people a Just return for exploiting those resources, the nation's income thus derived would now pay most of the nation's expenses; those resources would have been wise ly used and not exhausted; and our whole growth would have been ration al and sound instead of unbalanced and defective. We would have en joyed all the benefits from .our na tural resources and yet our children would have inherited colossal nation al wealth and small national burdens instead of private interests enjoying all the benefits of pur national re sources and their children inheriting colossal private wealth and small prl vato burdens. The nation must keep and adminis ter for all the people those natural re sources belonging to all the people. Every state should aid and not hinder the nation in doing this great duty. The state should preserve for the pub lic good the resources belonging ex clusively to it, the municipality the resources belonging exclusively to it; and both should help the nation in doing the same thing with resources belonging to all. For example, some of New York's swollen fortunes have been expanded by corrupt councils "selling for a song to private owners water fronts and other real estate of great present value and almost inestimable future value. Had New York kept the property which belonged to the city, the city's wealth would be greater; the danger ously great private fortunes would not be so vast. The gigantic income of the heirs of unearned millions would be less, but the people's taxes also would be less. Mistakes of the Past. Had certain states conserved their resources which the nation gave them, instead of turning them over to pri vate exploitation, the people of those states would be better off today, their I children better off tomorrow and their economic conamon Detter now ana lor all time to come. Had the nation conserved the re sources which belonged to all the American people instead of abandon ing most of them to cunning, strength and greed, our progress would have been sounder and more sure. Co-operation of municipality, state and nation t correct past mistakes and preserve and administer for the general good of all the people the nat ural resources yet remaining this i the policy of common sense and com mon honesty. Strife and division to the end that the reign of waste and pillage under the false name of de velopment shall go on and the feverish upbuilding of private wealth upon the ruins of the people's resources shall continue this is the policy of private a v ..rice and private plunder. Forests and coal, water powers and phosphates all the wealth that belongs to all tho people must be kept and developed for the benefit of all the people. This great policy for the welfare of all the people is now well under way. Let us beware how we hinder or retard it. It is another step in the glorio-is process of the building the nation. Al ready it has saved the people much that remains of their resources; it must save the people all that remains of their resources. "Honor to whom honor is due" let us not forget that the man who in thought, deed and word has championed this vast and historic reform until today he is its personification, is that courageous, pure, unselfish young American, the president of the National Conservation association, Gifford Pinchot.

The duty of the young men today in working for themselves is to think and n it.a r. ut it n T i rirt callR "the general welfare" of the nation as a whole. Only as xne enure nation ia prosperous oan any state be really prosperous. Only as the entire nation is powerful can any state be really safe from foes foreign and domestic. Young men of today are not the heirs of the provincial idea which has hindered so much the real progress of the people, wasted so much of their resources, shed so much of their blood. No, the young njen of today are the oft v.o. y.TJutiremHht -that our struggling millions. have made toward their common nrotnernoou. ju-s men of today are the heirs of all the victories which statesmen and heroes have won for the general welfare. The young me nof today are the heirs of the unifying work of all the inventions by which the genius of man has woven all the American people into one great family. The young men of today are in a different environment than that which saw the birth of the provincial idea. And so the young men of today must think in the terms of the nation; the blood of our common citizenship must pulse In their veins; their thoughts and acts must be for the common good of all. On that foun dation only can be built the individual good of each; and though "the rains descend and the floods come and the winds blow" upon the house builded upon such foundations, "it shall not fall, for It is builded upon a rock." Why was the American nation founded? What is the purpose of this1 republic? It is to create a greater hu man happiness than the world Khas known; it is that millions of men and women may co-operate in the up building of clean, honorable, prosper ous homes. Let us move forward in a common effort for our common good that the American nation shall set for all humanity a successful example of common brotherhood. KANSAS CITY WOMAN HXTRT. Mrs. J. F.

AuerbacfrffiGiiettel fCIXXTHJNG CO ASK MONEY BACK Ringlinc Circus Demands Re turn of $300 License. Claim City Is Not Entitled to the Tax Funds. OFFICIALS SAY "SO." "We Cannot Guarantee Good Weather," Their Argument. Parade and Side Show Enough to Come Under Ordinance. In the usual course of events a cir cus comes to town, draws a big crowd willing to pay for anything, charges enormous prices for everything on the program, tears up the streets with its heavy wagons and animals and in the end leaves but $300 behind them to pay the city as a license. This is what a circus usually means. But in the case of the Kingling peo ple, who came to Topeka Monday, they gave no big show, they had a parade, and they left their $300 under protest. Before the board of city commission ers, the attorneys for the Ringling Brothers' shows asked that the $300 license be returned to their coffers. As an answer, the city commissioners re fused to consider the request and un less forced to do so by law the city will put the money in circulation. Claiming that they were unable to give a performance in this city, that they lost thousands of dollars by the weather they met here and that they left- behind them a good amount, tak ing nothing away, the Ringling attor neys attempted to regain their $300 license fee this morning. In response, the citv commissioners argued that the circus had torn up the streets in such a manner that it would cost a thousand dollars to repair the pavements. They claimed further that when a circus comes to town they are given the privilege of holding perform ances and a parade, but they are not guaranteed fair weather and good crowds. "If you go to a hotel and register and then fail to eat your dinner, it isn't the fault of the hotel and they are go ing to charge you for it anyway," said one of th- commissioners. "We are not promising good weather and good crowds. We grant certain privileges to a circus and it is their business to take advantage of them. We are not han dling the weather proposition." The city ordinances say that if a circus gives their parade and conducts a show they shall pay the license. The Ringling people gave their parade and the city claims they gave a show some sort of a side show. Before the circus came to town the other day an advance man came to pay the license. When asked about the sideshows he said that they were simply an annex to the big show and a part of it therefore the city couldn't tax them. The city took the agent at his word. Now the circus people claim it was but a side show and not a part of the circus but the city commissioners are not going to let go of the $300 license fee they need the money. Mayor Billard was rather in favor of returning the money io the circus people, but when the commission vot ed against sucti an action he voted with them. Commissioner Tandy said: "The ordinance is plain on the ques tion they did enough to be taxed and there is no way around it The damage to the streets was tremen dous on account of the wet weather and we will use every bit of that $300 and more for repairs. Circuses always take away money and never leave any behind this is one case where the luck turned and it was an accident." Commissioner Bone: "From the legal point of view and this Is the view point argued by the circus people we are entitled to the money and we will keep it. I am in favor of charging a thousand dollars a day for any circus that comes to town the damage to the paved streets is worth it. If we can't keep this money by law I will be in favor of suing Ringlings for the damage they did the city." Commissioner Miller: "They didn't give their big show and they were playing in hard luck. But considering the damage to the streets, I can do nothing but vote against giving back the license." This ended the argument- The re quest was laid aside not even filed. The Ringling Brothers will have to work harder than that for the $300 in question. For LUMBER and building material see J. R. Wheelan Co Fourth and Santa Fe tracks. Phones 866.

EVENING CHAT BT RUTH CAMERON. "A baby's grandmother is often its worst enemy." So a splendid trained nurse who makes her specialty the bringing back to health of sickly babies, told me the other day. It was. a pretty harsh indictment of that class of personage whose very name evokes a thought of tenderness and wisdom and a sort of mellowed and Intensified motherllness, so nat urally I demanded an explanation. She gave it. "They are the worst enemies of our modern methods. Not all of them, of course, but some. Because their ba bies grew up in spite of what mistakes they made they try to have their daughters make the same mistakes. "There is no doubt about it that modern methods have reduced infant mortality immensely, and though of course it's true that plenty of babies grew up into healthy children with the old careless methods, a baby brought up in the modern way has twice the chance to grow up that they did. "But the grandmothers don't see It that way. They say all their babies grew up, or if one or two died, they would have died anyway, no matter what precautions were taken, and they tell their daughters that all this ster ilizing and boiling and the rest of the things that we are trying to teach them is ail nonsense. "Most of them talk behind our backs but once In awhile one of them speaks right up to me so I know about what they say. "Here's a few samples: "This feeding a baby every three hours to the minute is all tommyrot. Why, when Jennie was a baby I fed her whenever she cried and she doesn't look very peaked now. does she? This boiling the nipples and bot tles is perfect nonsense. I never boiled a thing and I brought up five children and only lost one by cholera infantum and you needen't tell me any child gets cholera infantum from not having its niDnles boiled. Waking a child up to feed him is the silliest thing I ever heard of. He has been under nourished and needs the nourishment? Nonsense. had eight children and I always let them sleep as lone- as they would. "That's the sort of thing they are continually saying, and as some of them have more influence than we do, the result is that many of our most important instructions are neutralized. "Why. I even, know of one baby that I am sure would be alive today if he had had the proper care, but they lost him because the mother let the grandmother pooh-hooh her out of doing what the doctor and nurse told her. "No, grandmothers may be well enough- for older children, but a good many of them are the babies' worst enemies." In the Philadelphia schools a lec ture on the care of babies was given to the little mothers of the tenements this spring. The next day they were asked to write an essay on the lec ture and one child of eleven brought in this startling indictment of grand mother: "I never understood why my little brother Mikey turned over one day after he was several months with us, and gave a little grunt and died. Now I believe it was because my grand mother used to ."feed him the -same things as she ate.- Sometimes she would squeeze orange juice in his mouth and other times she'd give him a bit of cabbage to strengthen mm. l think some terms eot into these and made Mikey twist up in knots and die." Of course that sort of grandmother doesn't exist among my readers, but I have no doubt that the otner Kina does, and I think, all things considered. that her sin of pooh-hoohing the nurse's instructions is Quite as. bad as the tenement grandmother s orange and cabbage habit.

Many changes have been rung on this idea, none more at tractive than the dainty costume pic tured- a violet and white checked foulard, veiled with wistaria chiffon with a border design of counched rattail trimming. Bands of violet vel vet outlining, collar and sleeves give emphasis to the delicate wistaria tone of the chiffon tunic, but the crochet buttons are in the pale lavender tint. The tunic, with drawn in skirt and a bolero top falling over the foulard girdle, is decidedly chic 'I 111- IH I 1 1 I I II 1 I 1 1 I Good Coffee Fresh Roasted I Blend No. 7-9-11 lb 20e I Blend No. 15 ....25c f Blend No. 4 .SOe t f Blend No. 3 ...35c J or 3 lbs. $1.00 X Blend No. 10 lb. 40c I Chas.

Indications are that the First ward will be well represent ed. The feeling is that since the North side had the aviation meet In June, which of course was largely attended by South siders from a matter of the affair being a Topeka proposition, that the North side will send large crowds to the state fair for the same reason. Such occasions, according to the senti ment felt all over Topeka, do much to bring the different sections of Topeka together and increase the spirit of "No North Topeka and South Topeka" but "Greater Topeka." The meetine nf the FiiMnp lodeo TMn t I. O. O. Sr. tonight will be of esDeci al importance and a full attendance is much desired.

Community Comment. DEAR OLD COLLEGE DAYS HI. "The most vivid impression of my next few weeks of life at B. U. is that in tense sleepiness alternated with spells of insomnia. In addition, of course, I had suffered all the throes of home sickness of a boy away from home fo: the first time. "The loss of sleep and sleeplessness began to tell on me. My greatest wish was to be let alone. I did not want any one to talk to me or notice me. I unconsciously began to avoid people all I could. I was so worn out most of the time that I hated the ef fort of even speaking unnecessarily. At the same time I realized that the best part of college training was in meeting and associating with different people but I fell into the habit vf shunning fellow students, except where I' had to be with them at the boarding place and rooming house. RELIGIOUS RKADBK. 'At the latter place was a big, shock-headed fellow from western Kansas. He was very religious and a great Bible student. In a monotonous tone, he would read aloud from the scriptures an hour or so every evening. His roommate did not object, nor did any one else in the house openly. While I, myself ought to have admired his religious habits, at the same time, when I was trying to study, the tones of his rather harsh voice, which coula be heard for a block, were anything but conducive to concentration of mind, and secretly it, exasperated me. I re member he always pronounced 'inter preters' 'interpreetators' and made other mispronunciations. 'On account of this disturbance in the early part of the evening, often I would not get down to actual study until about 10 p. m. This would mean, if my roommate was out for the- night with a friend so that the light would not disturb him, that I would not go to bed until 2 a. m. or after. Often, just before retiring I would walk around the house to cool my head which some times felt, as if covered with warm ashes. The Mystery of the Universe. 'And irf these lonely walks I would look un at the skv filled with its myriads of stars. As I would think of the thousands of solar systems In the universe, each with its worlds and their probable forms of existence, per haps similar to our own each world filled its inhabitants with ambitions just as keen as my own, the thought of it all would appall me. My own little life and ambition would seem tnsurrer ably small, inconsequential and useless. Then would come the most horrible sense -of despondency which could be lost only in sleep. "Curiously enough, so great was my desire for rest, that In my sleep I' would dream of having nothing to do but sleep, and of lying down in a sunny warm place on a hillside where I would dream that I fell asleep. Then the jangle of the alarm clock would arouse me to another long day of study, classes, work and study. "I am not complaining. I did not at that time. I knew what I was under taking before starting in. My great regret was that I could not do my work at the office and college better. At the former place I found that I could not set nearly as much type nor About The New m Suit tion in styles, fabrics and colorings.

At school my les sons were often ill prepared. And I would doze in class time so that I would sometimes not hear my name called. "However, the instructors were all very lenient. They gave me plenty vf time to make up my back work. One of the professors. Dr. Parmenter, then vice president of the college, was espe cially kind. He was also a great joker. Heart on "Right" Side, "One day in the physiology class the heart was being discussed as to its position in the body. Pointing to ore of the boys he said: 'Now, this young man's heart is on the right side.' "Several smiled but I took it all dead in earnest for I never thought that a college professor would Joke while on duty. I thought it so wonderful that a person's heart should be on the right side, but finally I thought I must have heard Dr. Parmenter wrong. I could not rest until I settled the matter. Just before class closed, according lo his usual custom, he said: 'Does any one wish to ask questions about the lesson?" "I mustered up courage, and blurted out: 'Professor Parmenter, is Mr. Smith's heart really on the right side?" "The class was convulsed. The stud ents laughed until they screamed and the teacher laughed until the tears nearly came, but finally he managed to shake his head and say that he was only joking. I soon afterwards learned that the young man referred to was supposed to be 'sweet' on a girl by the name of Wright." Bill Black. To be continued. ADVAXCE IN MEDICAIi SCHOOL. AVashbnrn College Reorganizes Medical Department and Meets National. The Washburn. Medical school has been reorganized. The scathing critic ism upon most of the medical schools of the United States contained in the last reDort of the Carnegie foundation has been an absorbing topic in medical circles. While this criticism comes from a source in a measure nonprofessional, it has carried much weight. A profes sor connected with Washburn has made the following statement: "The Kansas Medical college as a de partment of Washburn came in for criticism which was severe and in many respects not warranted. In fact, in im portant details the Topeka school was misrepresented and injustice done by what seemed to be unfair discrimina tions against it. The fact is the college lnaa heen remarkablv successful in mak ing doctors who have adorned their profession. Almost simultaneously with the offensive report, every member of the graduating class of the Washburn Medical school passea tne exammaiion of the state board, which can be said of no other school with considerable numbers before the board. It is said that one of the best physiologists in the United States graduated from the Kansas Medical college. Many of her graduates have distinguished them selves in various fields of medicine. "Wishing to promote the higher ideals at which the Carnegie report aimed, rather than to defend the col lege, as they might have done, the medical faculty-and the college author ities suffered the rebuke in silence and reorganized so as to meet every new condition. The new organization of the Washburn Medical school makes Wash burn a leader in meeting this new med ical situation and in raising the stand ards of medical education. Today the medical school is as much a department of the college as the school of liberal arts, and is as fully under the control of the trustees of the college. Two new laboratories have been equipped In Rice hall at large expense, one for the teach ing of bacteriology and one for physiol ogy, and competent instructors have been employed, who will devote full time to these respective departments.

When the medical school of Washburn opens on the 14th of Sep tember, the courses offered will be equal to those of -any medical .school's of the southwest. The medical faculty has worked out a new plan for the con duct of clinics. In small groups the students will study the development of cases in the various hospitals, under the supervision of the doctor in charge. These cases will be studied by the stud ents throughout their entire develop ment, in a way which has never before .3 J 1- I V wu n i. lt in i rv.i cum w nicn wouiu oe quite impossible were It not for the five hospitals of Topeka. In hospital facilities the opportunities of the Wash burn medical school are absolutely unique.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAIr WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1910. ALL IS LIFE THERE State Fair Grounds Now Scene of ActiYity. Bleachers and Dining: Hal s Be- ins: Erected. EXHIBITORS COMING IS Farm Implement Company Ma chinery on Ground. Monday the Opening: Day, to Hare Many Features. There la now a noise on the exposi tion grounds like a state fair. All is hustle and bustle and things are be ginning to look like business. The hammers ring merrilv as nu merous frame buildings and new bleachers spring into existence. Two dining halls are being erected and one short order stand, aside from several private exhibit buildings. Four carloads of machinery have arrived on the grounds including im plements of the John Deere company. The company has put up a tent 90x60 feet to house their display. Bleachers Are Covered. A canvas canopy was today put over the new bleachers Immediately west of the grandstand. The bleachers, which will have a seating capacity of 2,500, are now practically completed. Eighteen boxes have been arranged In the front part of the grandstand, half of which have already sold at J 1,5 each. They contain six seats. Tickets are good for the grandstand admission the entire week for both day and evening performances. They will not be on sale after the opening day of the fair. There are various and sundry im provements being made on the grounds which will add to their general ap pearance and the comfort of the peo ple. Tiling is being placed adjacent to the new cattle barn so that in case r of severe rains the live stock will be kept high an dry. It has been announced that militia men will be on hand to keep order on the grounds. This is an innovation and should irove effective in keeping out the "undesirables" who try the "hole in the fence" method of getting admittance to fie fair. Beginning Friday morning, business connected with the fair will be trans acted on the grounds. It has been de cided to use a room in the ground keeper's residence as an office and there Secretary H. L. Cook and his force of men will be found. "It looks bigger an-i bigger every day," said a member of the board of managers of the fair today. "People all over the state are talking about the fair, and 'All Kansas will bo there.' It's now up to the weather man." Season Tickets Go Fast. According to Scott Hopkins, treasur er of the Kansas State Fair associa tion, the $2 season tickets with a $2.50 admittance value, are selling rapidly. Their sale at the leading drug stores along the avenue and at the Prudential State bank will be discontinued upon the opening of the fair Monday morn ing. "I wish the people might understand," said Secretary Cook, "that on the open ing day of the fair Monday there will be Just as good a program as on any other day. Children under 15 years of age will be admitted free and a charsf of 25 cents will be made for adults." A machinery firm has adopted a unique way of advertising. A poster which they have put out reads: "bay: We'll be there you, too? Surest thing, you know. Let's meet. Where? Ths big tent. State Fair, Topeka, Kansas Kratzer Quality Vehicle exhibit." A local Ice firm has plastered its 32 wagons with state fair posters. It has been suggested that other firms do likewise and show their loyalty towards an enterprise which was started by Topeka men in the interest of the cap ital city and the state. From now until the opening of the fair the searchlight will be operated even lngs. Word has come in from tha country to the effect that the farmer.? in some instances have oecome excited In the extreme, believing the rays of light thrown by the big 18 inch pro lector of the instrument to be the tail of a comet. Secretary Cook chanced to be in Oakland the other evening when the light was shifting from one plase to another In rapid fashion. He re ports the boys of the neighborhood were very much "up in the air," not knowing how to account ror tne irean- ish light! MONEY FOR SICK. Five Hundred Dollars Now In Tuber culosis Camp Fund. "We now have close to $500." said L. L. Adams, chairman of the finance committee of the Topeka Anti-Tuber culosis association, in speaking of the results of the campaign for funds which started yesterday. "One hundred dollars came in this morning, and we have decided to con tinue the campaign tomorrow." WASTE IN PRINTING. State Printer Calls Attention to Sense- Jess Publications. Ten thousand dollars a year ought to he saved in fttntn npfntlnir la KA belief of T. A. McNeal, state printer. a aiscussion in me governor s otnee by J gUYCI nor's secretarv. and nthpra Kmnorxt this statement. McNeal thinks that the present fysiem is to Dlame entirely. Under the state law the printer must print that which is deemed necessary by the heads of the respective depart ments, upon their making requisition. What is necessary is left to the heads of these departments. A certain part of the bulletins, pamphlets, etc.. Mr. McNeal terms not of public need, though they must be printed On the order of the heads of the departments. Mr. Leahy suggested that specific ap propriation for each department ought to remedy the condition. In this Mc Neal coincided. An instance which Mr. McNeal point ed out is in the publication of a book of three or four hundred pages written by Professor Newsom. now dead, a for mer teacher in the University of Kan sas. The book deals in mathematical science and the relation of space. Al ready the printing of the book has re aulred 900 hours of work at hand cora- position, figured to 75 cents an hour cost of workmanship. Before it is done the work will have cost the state about 81,500. Since the death of Professor Newsom the work is being completed by a fel low professor, who while he believes in the general theory advanced differs in some respects. Mr. McNeal cited that the book was not of public need and probably not more than a dozen copies will be distributed to those in the state who will profit by it. The book was ordered printed by the state printing committee over the protest of Mr. Mc Neal. MUST PAY THE CITY. Judgment for Interest Against First National Bank Bondsman. By the decision of Judge A. W. Dana in the district court the city re ceives a judgment for $771.08 against M. Snattinger as a bondsman for the Devlin bank, which failed in 1905 at a time when it was a city depositary. The judgment of $771.0 8 represents in terest upon $4,819.36 for a portion of the time since the bank failure. A judgment for the larger sum was given th city several months ago, it repre senting the amount of city's money never paid back by the bank's receiver, for which the bank's bondsman was therefore liable. While either side yet has the right of appeal from the dis trict court's decision, no such intention has yet been signified. The old Snattinger bond, dating back about 12 years, lay in thfc city's vault for a long time before any one thought of bringing suit upon It after the Dev lin bank failure. The bank had held about $26,000 of city money, all but $4 819.36 of which was paid back dur ing the receivership. Finally City At torney Ralston dug up the old bond, yellowed with age and fast becoming illegible, called the council's attention to it and was ordered to bring a suit in which he has been very successful. A portion of the interest was with held on the theory that the bondsman did not become liable for interest be fore demand was made upon him.

REAL ART EXHIBIT. New Washburn Director Shows What He Can Do. An exhibit which will appeal strong ly to the lovers of art in Topeka was opened this morning in the rooms on the second floor of Boswell hall of Washburn college. It is an exhibition of some of the art work of Prof. Max Hagendorn, the new director of the art depart ment of the college and is extremely comprehensive in its scope. In the south room is a group of 11 paintings in oil, which represent Texas landscapes with an exception or two. The general style of the paintings is Impresslonstic, and the artist has put life in the scenes to a degree which makes one able to imagine that he Is actually looking upon the Texas land scapes depicted. Etepecially is this true of the pic tures ."Spring Rain," and "Spring Air." In the latter one can almost see the clouds scudding across the sky. Then there are a number of por traits and other pencil drawings which are worthy of special mention. Among these is a sketch of the heavens shoe ing Halley's comet, which was drawn on the evening of May 29. There is an interesting collection of sketches made in Europe which are taken from the artist's sketch book. Aside miscellaneous worka nf there are in the exhibit 600 ideas for book decoration, weaving, embroidery, stencil work, laces, jewelry, metal, wood, ceramics, frescos, and archi tectural ornamentation. The exhibit will be left in place until September 21, and because of its merit it is safe to predict that it will be much visited between now and that date. The general public is invited to examine the exhibit. Professor Hagendorn was on hand this morning to explain the collection. He hopes to make the art department one of the most popular branches of ths college work. "The department will be enlarged," said he, "and new classes formed. There win be classes In drawing, paint ing, modeling, designing, art handi craft, wood carving, and work In wrought iron. The second floor of Boswell hall will be used for the de partment until we get a new building." The following sketch of the life and work of Professor Hagendorn will prove of Interest: Bom In Stuttgart, Germany; studied In Municipal Industrial Art school. Royal Academy of Fine and Industrial Arts (Stuttgart), with Professors Fall er. Kettlltz. Goll, Kurtz, Seubert (Stuttgart), Professor Gebhard Fugcl (Munich), and In Switzerland, Austria and Italy.

The report ed shortage of $20,000 of the Abilene State bank of which John A. Flack, whose phereabout is unknown, was cashier, has grown now to $70,000. The fact became known today. The county prosecutor was informed today of the shortage, and the company under which Flack was bonded is seeking the missing cashier. HITS LIQUOR SELLERS HARD. Jube Jordan Is Given a Fine of Six Hundred Dollars. It was a hard blow that the Jube Jordan family experienced in police court Tuesday afternoon when Judge Jordan, and another present oi six months in jail and a fine of $600 to Jordan, an danother present of six months in jail and a $600 fine to Mary Tire. Both these colored persons had been convicted of selling liquor. One of the witnesses in the case was a sew ing machine salesman who had been LITTLE WILLIE'S BAD DREAM. in the place purchasing liquor when the police arrived. The attorney for the defense tried to shake the testi mony of this witness, but the vendor of sewing machines remembered dis tinctly what he had bought what he had paid for it and who had received his money, and he told. The liberty of the two defendants necessitated bonds of just $1,000 apiece. Rosette Trimmed Imported English Mohair. J S3 'Vt

Because what was alleged to be a load of 525 bushels of potatoes meas ured out to be only 463 bushels and a number of bushels of earth, a com plaint was filed in the court of Topeka this morning by Inspector A. E. Ice of the state health department against M. W. Cardwell, a shipper at Perry, Kansas. The complaint alleges false representations concerning a quantity of merchandise.

Arriving in Boston during the late afternoon Mr. Taft will motor out to his summer home at Beverly. IS ARRESTED FOR BOOTLEGGIXG Fred Mack Had a Larsre Quantity of Liquor In His valise. As complete a "bootlegging" outfit as has been seen at police headouar ters in a long time was that brought in by Patrolman Rufus Frazier last night, when he appeared witn Frea Mack, whom he had arrested in an alley. The -policeman reported tne es cape of three Indians whom he wanted to bring along as witnesses, but the In dians, realizing" fheir own importance for judicial purposes, had decamped, Mack, who protested that he was train porter who had Just come up from Kansas City to visit friends, was equipped with a capacious valise of the sort commonly usea oy trainmen. In it were a few articles of personal attire, but these were principally util ized as padding for two large bottles and two small ones, the. former con taining gin, the latter whisky. Beside the liquor was a quantity of contra band cigarettes and cigarettes papers. Evidently Mack had anticipated mak ing himself popular during his stay. for he had refreshments enough for a large circle of friend. His peculiar conduct with the three Indians and the fact that they fled as if pursued, makes it hard to believe that Mack's grip did not represent a small business enter prise, and he will be prosecuted on that basis. 80,000 Men's Linen Collars All Sizes Tomorrow 12c a Dozen AT David J, August's Of Course t I M-M HI M-t"M H American Ladies Concert Band Strobel Air Ship Pains Pyrotechnic Display v Parker's Clean Midway are some of the daily attractions at the Kansas f State Fair at Topeka September 10 to IT MISSED IT BY HALF.

The conditions of the prize demand a feat considered the most difficult yet cut out for the airmen. When M. Michelin offered the prize, which must not be confounded with the Michelin aviation trophy offered for the long est annual flight in an enclosure. It was thought by some that he was joking. However, the premium' stood and subsequently Louis Paulhan announc ed he would undertake the journey. To Welman falls the honor of the first try. He ascended at Buc at 11:15" o'clock this morning and at 11:58 of ficially crossed the starting line above St. Cloud. He used a Farman biplane and carried a passenger as required. The rulps provide that the aviator may start anywhere 'In the department of the Seine," or" Seine Et Otse.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1910. FLY TO jaAYETTA. First Balloon Trip Is Made in Topeka. Start In Early Eyening From Westlawn Park. BEACHED 2,300 FEET. Alighted Safely on the Indian Reservation. Experiences Described by Those Who Made the Journey. What was probably the first success ful gas-balloon trip In Kansas was made In the nature of a surprise from Topeka to near Mayetta, about 30 miles northwest of here, from 5:20 to S:45 o'clock last evening. Only neigh bors and a few others saw the tart. E. S. Cole, secretary of the To peka Balloon association; W. J. Route of the Topeka lialloon Flight Last Evening. Lelghty, a member of the association, both Topeka men. and H. E. Honey x ell of St. Louis, a licensed pilot of the American Aero club, made the flight. Natural gas was used as a filler from the high pressure gas main in West lawn park at West street and Tenth avenue. Mr. Honeywell says that the natural gas was satisfactory and that the trip was a success. Mr. Cole and Mr. Leighty, are also enthusiastic over their experience. Another air voyage in the balloon will be made In the near future, although the date has not yet been definitely settled. On th first trip a maximum altitude of 2,300 feet was reached. In describing the trip, Mr. Leighty, who kept a "log book' of the voyage, said: "Gas was turned into the balloon at 4:10 p. m. from a high pressure gas main. With the ordinary pressure sev eral hours would have been required to fill the big bag with the 40,000 cubi2 feet of gas needed. As it was It was full shortly after 5 o'clock. "At 5:20 p. m. the balloon rose from the ground. It was a great sensation. It seemed that the balloon was stand ing still and the earth was dropping away from us. "In ten minutes or at 5:30 p. m. we were up 1,500 feet, according to the aeronoid, which works on the principle of a spring barometer. Another way of estimating the distance is to yell and count the time which it takes the echo to reach back from the earth to the balloon. Knowing the velocity of sound, the altitude may be easily computed. "At 5:45 p. m. we had reached an al titude of 1.800 feet. Until that time we had been drifting northwest, but then we began to float due north and con tinued to do so until we landed. "No. there was no sense of motion, although we were traveling about 20 miles an hour. The only way passen gers can get any idea of how. fast their air craft is traveling is by watching the shadow of the balloon on the ground. As we were traveling with the wind, we felt no breeze at all. The sun was hot on our faces. No, we didn't get cold at all. "By 5:55 p. m. we were up 2,000 feet. Five minutes later we had as cended another hundred feet. A bal loon is very delicately poised in the nlr and by just pouring out a handful of sand ballast may cause it to rise over fifty feet. "We had two hundred pounds of ballast altogether and by 6:20 had used forty pounds. "Then we began to let out gas and descend. We landed at 6:45, about a half mile from the Pottawatomie dance house on the Indian reserva tion. We first let down our guide rope which rapped around a tree stump. We settled in a tree top and finally came to the ground. The bal loon was practically uninjured. Some of the Indians who had seen us com ing, helped roll our balloon and haul ed us to the Rock Island depot at Mayetta, eleven miles southeast. We reached Topeka at 11:45 p. m. Soareit the Horses. "A balloonist always aims to light near a farm house where he may ob tain assistance, but there is no danger oi nut uenig ooservea Dy lots oi people. Just before we landed a rather amus ing incident occurred. We let our rope trail over a pasture. Some horses were badly scared at it and scattered In all directions. 'We did not intend to make the trip until Friday, but as everything both weather conditions and other arrange ments, were ideal yesterday afternoon, we decided to make the trip. As It was our trial trip, we wanted to make it as quietly as possible and in the presence of as few as possible. Only some of the residents of the neighbor hood and some members of the To peka association saw us start. "The balloon will carry ordinarily four persons, but as I weigh 240 pounds and It was our initial voyage, we decided that only two others be sides myself had better go. I en Joyed the experience immensely. "The trip was a success," said Mr. Honeywell. "Natural gas was used satisfactorily. The weather conditions were ideal, indeed, it was one of the most beautiful flights I have ever made. Part of the country around Topeka. as I saw It from the balloon last night, reminds me of the land scape around Peoria, 111. "I do not think there Is as much danger In such a trip as there Is in automobile scorching. When gas is let out the balloon folds Into the net and thus acts as a parachute. The descent is usually gradual and gentle." CALLS FOR STUBBS. Kansas Governor Appears to Have Made a Hit at Minneapolis. St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 7. The differ ence between the welcome given to President Taft and that given to ex President Roosevelt here was precise ly the difference between formality and spontaneity. The great state fair to which 90, 000 admissions were sold the conser vation congress and the presence of the two chief guests of honor served to give both men extraordinary crowds. But neither on the street, in the re viewing hall nor in the big hall was there anything like the enthusiasm for the president that there was for the great conservationist, as he fought his way through pressing crowds at the hall and the hotel. His speech clearly set forth that no shelter can be found under the Roosevelt policies for the state's rights idea of conservation. While the great crowd was waiting for Roosevelt the chairman called on John Barrett, head of the bureau of American republics. Immediately on the conclusion of his speech there were calls for Stubbs. They came from every part of the house It brought the governor to his feet by and by with a few fine pointed words for Roosevelt and Kansas, but no refer ence to the issues discussed. Stubbs shared about equally with President Taft in the front page head lines of the St. Paul paDers. James R. Garfield, addressing the conservation congress, said: "There are two reasons why the fed eral government is directly and deeply concerned in the practical questions of conservation. "First. It is the most extensive landholder; and "Second. It has great duties to per form in the interest of all the people. "The value of the public domain can not be measured by the acre; its value depends upon the character of its use as well as of the resources it contains or pursues. "In the early part of our develop ment little attention was given to the phases of conservation, which we now find all-important. In those days there was land enough and to spare, but today the conditions are totally changed. Our rapidly increasing popu lation, the development of great cen ters of industry, and the failure to In crease in equal proportion our agri cultural productions have brought about conditions which give serious concern to every man who has given thought to the permanent welfare of our people. If the conservation problem had simply to do with the distribution of what remains of the Dublic domain, the solution of the problem would be freed from many difficulties, but dis tribution is only a small part of the problem; the most important duty Is to provide against such distribution as will result in giving the big special In terests monopolistic control over the re sources of timber, water, fuel and phosphates. Under our former system, disposi tion of public lands by both national and state, we have permitted individ uals and corporations to acquire great portions of our natural resources. We have given away special privileges of great value and made grants of tre mendous industrial power. The use of these special privileges and the exer cise of these powers have given rise to serious political and industrial ques tions, which are now parts of the con servation problem." HE ROBS A PULLMAN. Lone Bandit Kills Flagman Before Entering the Car. St. Louis, Sept. 7. Shortly after the Burlington Overland Limited left the union station here last night on its long trip to the Pacific coast, a lone train robber entered the last Pullman car, after having shot and killed the flagman, J. N. Wine of Clarence, Mo., on the rear platform, and robbed the four passengers of considerable money and valuables. He then made his escape. The train was due to depart from the city at 9 o'clock, but for some un known reason was delayed twenty min utes. While it was yet in the yards the flagman went to the rear platform to set his lights and discovered the in truder. In the attempt the flagman is thought to have made to eject the rob ber, he was shot and killed, the body falling from the train. The robber then entered the car and at the point of a revolver relieved the passengers of their valuables. The robbery and murder is believed to have occurred betwen the time the train left the sta tion and when the absence of the flag man was discovered by the towerman at the Carr street block tower. After reporting the loss of the flag man the train continued its journey to the west. The body of the flagman was found in the railway yards a short distance from the station, one of his arms hav ing been severed close to the shoulder. It is thought a fast train which follow ed the Overland Limited very closely, ran over the body. Just where the robber left the train after the robbery has not been ascer tained. He is said to have gotten on the train Just as it left the station. NEWS OF THE COURTS. The charge of larceny from a dwelling which was brought against Carl Smiley by his mother-in-law, Mrs. Emma Rags- dale, about the time of the divorce suit which his wife started a month ago, has been dropped. Mrs. Ragsdale appeared in the court of Topeka Tuesday and with drew her complaint, explaining that she had discovered that the money had been taken by Smiley to pay for repairs upon the family buggy- The suit for divorce and alimony is, however, still pending. Falling to Interest the United States army authorities in Will Woods, a negro arrested the other day for stealing clotlw ing at 108 Madison street, who claimed that he had escaped from a federal prison where he was serving a term as a desert er from the army, the police turned the man over to the state for prosecution on a burglary charge. The regiment with which Woods claims to have been connect ed is now garrisoned at Fort Ethan Allen In Vermont. William Klee, the small boy whose father not long since received much notor iety for having given up H.200 to two sharpers who represented themselves to be divinely authorized to Introduce a new dispensation, was taken to the juvenile court yesterday with another boy named Dewey Henderson, to answer for having entered the Lincoln school building and purloined a quantity of nails, soap and other articles. The lads acknowledged taking the nails but denied having gotten anything else. The Klee boy's parents have been separated for some time and the father, who is a shoemaker, is a re lieious fanatic. A GOOD FELLOW, HE John A. Flack Was Lavish With Money. Gare Generously to Every Good Canse. TOOK OUT THE LEAVES Fooled the Examiners by Manip ulating Ledger. Defaulting Cashier Prominent in Democratic Politics. Bank Commissioner .1 v. rtniiw day said that a warrant liad been is sued for the arrest of John A. Flack, the defaulting bank cashier of Abi lene. No trace of him has been found. The defalcations will be paid In fuU by the directors. Abilene, Kan., Sept. 7. The people of Abilene are at a loss to know Toother John A. Flack, defaulting cashier of the Abilene State bank, left here penniless or with a large sum In cash. The bank directors who have nut un xftVOoft ro cover the loss to the bank in excess of the property he surrendered, believe they have all of his property. They filed an attachment suit for $10,000 against all his personal property and real estate In this and western Kansas counties' to be sure to seize everything. John A. Flack, the Defaulting Cashier. Flack and his wife, who owned an automobile, and had a new house rich ly furnished, gave the key to the law yers and departed Saturday night with their suit cases. The house, a store building, another house, some city lots, an equity in a farm, his bank stock. mortgages all were deeded to the di rectors. Made No Entry on Hooks. A woman came to the bank Tuesday afternoon with a deposit slip for $800. This was not found on the books. A banker from Talmadge had $600 In the same condition. Flack was probate Judge four years. He handled a great many estates and after he went into the bank he was allowed to keep on as financial manager. In what condition these estates are none but Flack knows. One of the puzzles has been how he fooled the bank examiners for three years while his defalcations have been going on. It was revealed by the assistant cashier's demand on Friday morning when he was asked in the presence of the directors what he did two weeks ago to cover up the rec ords. Calmly.he replied: "I took leaves out of the ledger." The bank which three years ago had about $100,000 deposits, gained slowly until it ran up to $140,000. Then it began to decrease and two weeks ago had only $101,000. The examination of the books showed that it should have had $160,000. When the examin er was busv Flack took from the loose leaf ledger containing the accounts of depositors enough leaves to Dring tne amount down practically to that shown by his statement. After the ex aminer left he returned them. This had been his method and out of the Droflts he has bought some $40,000 worth of property in town, lived in luxury and everybody wondered how he did it. But he explained that he owned nine sections of land m western Kansas and had made a fortune on it. It turns out that he had only two quarter sections, which he sold long ago at a small pront. tie was treas urer of the baseball association, and when the season ended, two weeks ago, he generously offered to pay all the debts. Now the books of the bank show that there is something like $600 overdraft In that account. Flack was generally trusted. He was one of the most generous men in town. He gave to every good cause and more than anyone else In his posi tion. He had the old fashioned cour tesy that won friends and took life leisurely. Even when he was called on to deed over his property, he smiled and did it with the remark: "If there is anything wrong I do not know it." The owners of the bank are able to stand the loss. They are worth ten times the amount, and the fact that the deposits increased today, despite the withdrawal of a few accounts, in dicates thev need not fear. Nor are the other banks affected. They have known for weeks that something was wrong and have trimmed their sails. Furthermore, the bank is guaranteed under the new guaranty law. One man. however, has sympathy he is I. S. Hallam, the aged president of the bank. He made a small fortune as a lumberman, then made Flack cashier and manager of the bank in which he bought the controlling interest. He trusted him as if he had been a son and it was not until last week that be would be made to believe that he had been robbed. "We wired the Title Surety Guar anty company yesterday," said the deputy bank commissioner. Mr. Wat son, "that we expected to collect $8,000 bond. We have not heard from them." The bank will not try to bring Flack back, but the guaranty company will go after him. He is suffering from Bright's disease and it is likely that he is at some springs. He intended to go to Excelsior Springs, but cannot be found there. Flack liked to pose as a scholar and bought many books. He acted as the handwriting expert in the recent Benignus murder case, spending days and nights on clews. He took a keen interest in sports and never miEsed a ball game. Out of banking hours he was a gentleman of leisure, with ap parently not a care, and this was his attitude up to a half hour before he left town. His wife is with him, and it is said they may have gone to Mexico. He was counted on to take an active part in the Democratic campaign this fall. He made an active campaign "r congressman four years ago, but did no spend much money. His senatorial campaign in 1908 was more serious. Though a Democrat, he always carried this county, being the only candidate on his ticket in- two campaigns that did so. He was, however, defeated for senator. He had lived here and in En terprise since boyhood. He is now PINCHOT WEEPS. (Continued from Page One.) steps were promptly taken to breed hogs extensively so that the people might produce their meats. "This work is done by direction of good southern farmers selected by agents of the department of agricul ture. There are many excellent farm ers in the southern states who only need organizing to bring that section to the front as a producing unit of aU farm crops. This may be said of all localities and of all of our states, each has a large minority of good farmers, and in the development of any state along agricultural lines, something im peratively necessary, the practical farmers of the state are the right men to organize for its progress. Grazing Lands Overstocked. "The grazing lands of the public domain are being steadily reduced to unproductiveness by overstocKing, which results in reduced production of meats and animal products. While public lands are held for the home steader it is difficult to suggest a rem edy that would not interfere with the policy of ultimate settlement by the homeseeker. The tendency of con gress to give larger areas to the set tler seems to be in the right direction. "The most important farm conser vation is undoubtedly the preparation of farm youth for better farm man agement. We have inherited our sys tem of education that looked to the farm for the best material to rein force the professions and the indus tries. Education has, therefore, pre pared young people for everything but farm life. The American congress saw this half a century ago and pro vided for agricultural colleges in all the state; these colleges have grown. and are preparing teachers, a hopeful task, in the nature of things, it is difficult to change or materially modi fy the, education of a people, inter woven with their history, their indus tries, their literature, their traditions and religion. It is being done, how ever, in our country. Research is ac cumulating facts along the life lines of our people. The people read the publications treating field and forest. the soil and its crops, the animal and its well being. "Irrigation and dry land farming, new bread and fodder plants, the growing of sugar beets last year to make our 500,000 tons of sugar, the prospect of using the carbon dioxyde of our atmosphere to make all our sweetening, the devel opment of rice on the gulf coast to equal our consumption, the study of tobaccos of home growth to save the nation's money, the exploration of the old world for plants to increase the food of the people and add to its vari ety; these and a thousand other activi ties that affect agriculture the people read about and approve. "Twenty million pieces of literature relating to the farm were sent out from the department of agriculture during the last fiscal year. The state agricul tural colleges all contribute to the vol ume of printed matter relating to the farm "There are well known methods of farm management practiced by our best farmers that bring good results and well known methods- and practices that reduce fertility and render operations on the farm unprofitable. The domestic animal has been associated with profit able farming from the earliest times of which we have authentic records. The pasture on which the animal grazes is the best known method of restoring the necessary physical condition that is lm paired by cultivation, as well as the source of the cheapest production. "When the farmer desires a heavy crop of any kind he plows up a pas ture and seeds down another. Con tinual cultivation and use of commer cial fertilizers without systems of rota tion or domestic animals is advised by some latter day venturers in agricul ture, but the results are not perma nently good and where this method has had long trial it has brought dis appointment, notably in the cotton growing states. "If our country is to grow and de velop as patriotic people hope, we must conserve tne fertility of our soils, and the moisture that is precipitated not only on our farms, but that which falls upon the highlands and now flows idly to the seas in all sections of our country." FEDERAL PRISONER RELEASED. A. J. Lewis Is Immediately Arrested and Taken to Utah. Leavenworth, Kan., Sept. 7. Depu ty Warden Ure of the Utah state peni tentiary at Salt Lake, accompanied by a guard, arrived in the city to take back to Salt Lake A. J. Lewis, a con vict in the United States penitentiary, who was discharged this morning. Lewis escaped from the Utah peni tentiary eleven years ago, where he was serving, under the name of Chas. Bishop, an eighteen year sentence for burglary. After his escape he went to Fargo, S. D-, where he engaged in a conspiracy to defraud, resulting in his arrest and trial by federal authori ties. He was found guilty and sen tenced to two years in the prison at this place and pay a fine of $5,000. He was located here through the Bertillon system of identification and will be taken back to serve out his full sen tence. Charters Granted.

Police Receive Complaints About West Side Boys. Complaint has been Dlaced with John Lucas, deputy sheriff and juvenile of ficer in the probate court, concerning rowdyism on the part of boys who live near and frequent Central park. It has been reported that on several recent occasions small acts -of vandalism have been done in the park and that women and children visiting that city plky ground have been annoyed by half grown boys who used coarse language and addressed remarks of an annoying sort to them. Mr. Lucas' informant stated that several of the boys belonged to re spectable families living near the park and gave names which are being look ed up. In the meantime steps have been taken to have the park watched by policemen in plain clothing whose duty will be to put a stop to this par ticular trouble. CAUSE OF DEATH UNKNOWN. Siddell Is Released as Suspect in Truitt Affair. Leavenworth, Kan., Sept. 7. The inquest in the case of George L. Truitt, the coal miner, whose body was found in the Missouri river August 26, was held yesterday afternoon. The coro ner's jury returned a verdict that Truitt came to his death in a manner unknown to it, and that the evidence was not sufficient to hold E. F. Siddell, the miner, who has been in the cus tody of the police for the last ten days. Siddell was liberated immediately after the verdict was returned. Mrs. Siddell attended the inquest. She became hysterical several times. Siddell tried to comfort his wife; as suring her that there was no evidence against him and that everything would come out all right. Want Campaign Speakers.
