ford Chance for Development. Russian Plans to Use Carbon Dioxide From Air. Chicago, Sept. 24. Artificial eggs, made from the air, will be the next groat feat of chemistry. Dr. Paul Walden of Riga. Russia, president-elect of the Ninth International Congress of Applied Chemistry, to be held in St. Petersburg in 1915, made this prediction just before his depar ture from Chicago with 150 world famed chemists who are touring the United States. Iso longer will the price of eggs be dependent on the vagaries of the hen, if Dr. Walden's prophecy is realized. "Not only eggs but a variety of ni trogenous foods will be made from the air some day," declared Dr. Walden, who was asked to hazard a prediction as to the most remarkable discovery in chemistry that will be related to the international congress, over which he will preside in 1915. 'Notwithstanding the remarkable ad vance made in synthetic chemistry in the last few years, the science has many surprises still in store. I con sider it practically certain that some day. and not a very distant one either, we shall be drawing food sup plies from the air. Why not? Prof. Bernthsen, of Germany, has already succeeded in making the simple com pound of nitrogeneous hydrogen in the form of artificial ammonia, the nitro gen for the purpose of being separated from the air. Since we can make simple compounds in imitation of na ture, we shall soon learn how to make more complex compounds." To Compete With Beef Trust. The great Russian chemist admitted that his prediction, if realized, will i evolutionize. the world's ideas of food supply, solve the problem of the high cost of living and provide an evei ready source of competition for the "heef trust." Modern chemistry is simply teach ing us to do for ourselves what nature lms always done for us," continued Dr. Walden. "Nitrogen is one of the great nourishing elements of such foods as meats and eggs. It occurs in limitless quantities in the air. Seventy-nine of the volume of the atmosphere is nitro gen, the rest being oxygen and other Kases. "An egg is a complex compound of nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur and hydro Ken. The chemical process of the hen will be imitated in the laboratory. "Two great fields for the further de velopment of science are the chemistry of the air and chemistry of electricity Vndreamed of benefits to mankind will come with the discoveries to be made in these fields. Electricity is becoming more and more an aid to synthetic chemistry. "I speak of Professor Bernthsen's suc cess in making synthetic ammonia in a practical way, for it was only a short time ago that we depenaea ior oui s upply of ammonia on various am monium compounds existing in nature. Formerly we were able to do very lit tle with the uricombined nitrogen in the atmosDhere. Now that we have learned to harness it and put it use. the possibilities are wonderful. "There is a lot of carbon dioxide to the air which I believe we shall some day be able to use in making synthetic foods, just as the plants now use it by absorption. Most of the visiting chemists left for Cleveland. WANTS IIILLES CALLED Geo. W. Perkins Writes a Senator Clapp. Letter to Washington, Sept. 24. Senator Clapp has received a letter from Geo. W. Perkins asking that Charles D. 1 lilies, chairman of the Republican national committee be called before the senate committee investigating campaign contributions to testify ful'y as to his charge, "that Col. Roosevelt had spent millions of dollars of har vester trust money." Senator Clapp today stated that Mr. Hilles undoubtedly would be called before the committee but would be questioned not alone upon that re ported statement but upon the general subject of campaign contributions. Former Speaker Cannon and Repre sentative McKinley of Illinois and Weeks of Massachusetts, probably will be asked to testify in connection with the investigation into alleged campaign contributions by protected interests prior to the tariff sessions of 1909. Telegrams received today from New Tork signed by members of the Na tional Retail Tobacco Dealers asso ciation demanded of Chairman Clapp an investigation of the relation of che American Tobacco company to cam paign funds of recent years. The re tailers asked that the senate com mittee investigate the affairs of the socalled "tobacco trust" and of large individual companies, to determine whether they had contributed to the presidential or congressional cam paigns. A plan for the opening of next week's hearing was outlined today by Senator Clapp. for presentation to the full committee when it meets. The first witness will be Cornelius N. Bliss and the second C. C. Tegestoff, private secretary of the late Edward H. Hir riman. These two men will be called upon to produce any papers belong ing to the estates respectively of Cor nelius N.

Laborers Leaving Town Regular Trains. Fill Bingham, Utah, Sept. 24. Todav sees the beginning of the second week of the Bingham copper strike and a yet no definite movement has been made by either operators or strikers to force the issue. Announcement by the Utah Copuer company yesterday mat Leon G. Skli,ris, an employment agent against whom the laborers had a grievance, had resigned, has led the union officials to believe that the cor- pany may consider their demands for higher wages. Today renewed efforts are being made to obtain through Governor Spry a conference with D. C. Jackling, general manager of th-B Utah Copper company. Last night a number of shots wer-j fired by Greeks from the hillside, hut the guns were not directed at any of the deputy sheriffs as was the "case during the dav. Secretary K. G.

N. Dolley will leave tonight for Chicago and will speak Wednesday afternoon be fore the Illinois state banker's con vention in Peoria. Dolley will prob ably discuss the blue sky law, the guaranty plan and other Kansas re forms in his Illinois talk. The Illinois date was arranged for Mr. Dolley early last spring. Just at the present time he is in the midst of the campaign in Kansas as chair man of the Republican state com mittee. "I feel that-1 really ought to stay on the job here," said Dolley in dis cussing the Kansas campaign, "out this date was made last spring and 1 will leave tonight to fill it, expecting to return to Kansas sometime Thurs day." STAND BREAKS DOWN Collapses Just After Colouel Itoosctelt Had Left It. Tulsa, Okla., Sept. 24. Colonel Roosevelt reached Tulsa at 7 o'clock. He went to the platform of his car to speak but was told that another crowd had gathered jjn the public square. He shouldered his way through the thro?;g to the grandstand. There he talked for fifteen minutes and had just stepped from the stand to return to his car when the structure gave way. A dozen men, most or tnem army vet erans were thrown to the ground. Colonel Roosevelt ran back to give aid. He srw that no one had been seriously hurt and waved the crowd back. "It's all right." he shouted. Colonel Roosevelt appealed to the Democrats of the south to stand with the Progressive party. Chance Out Tomorrow. New York. Sent, 24.

SHBWliixr R NEW STOMACH O.K. Farmer Using Ape's Finds It Will Stand Spree. Gets Howling Drunk When Re leased From Hospital. Paris. Sept. 24. Trading his old and wornout stomach for the new and healthy one of an anthropoid ape, Pierre Laurent, after resting a few days in the hospital, tested his new digestive apparatus by becoming in toxicated. The young farmer got himself "as full as a goat," but the stomach stood the test and, aside from a slight wob ble in his walk. Laurent is as well as ever. The surgical operation, performed by Dr. Roulies, at the hospital of Agena, is the sensation of Paris. The famous surgeon took the entire stomach from the young farmer and when the or gan was found to be worn out, it was replaced by the complete stomach of the anthropoid. Laurent, who is a prosperous farmer of Agen, remained in the hospital 25 days, at the end of which time he was eating the heaviest of foods with perfect ease. His stom ach, which was from an ape two years old, fitted so perfectly into the 27-year-old interior of the patient that it withstood the surcharge of liquor with out a protest. Dr. Roulies speaks with certainty of the benefits of his surgical discovery and is preparing a paper to be present ed to the Academy of Medicine on the subject. CHILD BURNS TO DEATH Playing "Coal Mine" With Candle Fatal Fun. Lighted Leavenworth, Kan., Sept. 24. "Playing coal miner' with a lighted candle, little Theresa Birmingham, 3 years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Birmingham', of Mount Olivet, set fire to her clothing and before her panic stricken parents could extin guish the flames she was fatally burned, death occurring later. According to her father, the child had been playing with lighted candles all day, and was twice reprimanded for it. She took advantage of her parents' absence from the room and brought a small candle out of a secluded place where she previously hid it. Lighting it she placed it on the floor and was crawling around it playing coal miner when her dress became ignited. From an adjacent room the parents heard her screams and hastened to her assistance. By this time the fire had enveloped her clothing and it was not until after both father and moth er had burned their hands that the clothing was torn from the child's body. ASEBALL PROGRAM.

He Is Spaniard and Wife Is German They Go to War. Abe Floris. a Spaniard, who lives in the Gordon Flats, 400 Madison, was ar rested twice last Sunday first in the morning for disturbing the peace and later in the evening for assault and battery. Judge Arnold of the police court fined the man $5 for the first of fense, $15 for the second. Abe, and his wife, Lela, are, apparently not on the best of terms; one is a Spaniard, the other a German, which illustrates the inefficiency of international marriages. Officer Wilt, who made both arrests, tele the following story Monday after noon in the police court. "I arrested Floris without a warrant Sunday morning for disturbing the peace. People in the flats complain of him constantly, and he was swearing so Sunday morning that I marched him off to the station house. He put up a $10 personal bond, and was released. In the evening, one of my neighbors told me there was a big fight on Eighth between Madison and Jefferson. I hustled down there and found Floris and his wife; both of 'em were drunk. Hf, had her up against a fence and was shaking the life out of her. Both of 'em were cursing like hades. "In English?'' asked one of the at torneys. '"Well. I guess so." said the officer. sheepishly, "at any rate. I had a pretty good idea they were cussin as hard as they could. I could understand some swear words. 'What's this row? I said, and Mrs. Floris said, 'I'm try- in' to make him come home.' I brought 'err both to the station, but the woman was sent back home as she has two lit tle kids." The testimony of Floris. who did not understand half that was taking place, was funny. When asked if he had as saulted and cursed his wife, he respond ed. "Sure, sure." In tones of modest virtue but changed his oath instantly when he fully understood what was meant. "I no swear: I no drunk." he insist ed. "yilts hasn't much use for me." "What is the reason?" asked the judge. "Dunno," responded Floris. cheer fully, and his wife took the chair. Her testimony did not agree with her husband's, for she insisted he had "one little drink." "He go with our neighbor and have several little drinks," she admitted, warming up, "I try to make him stay heme, and he say. 'No. I go after him and say. Come home, rest yourself.' He hit me; he so full, he not know what he do. Policeman come and 'rest us bcth." The case was simply one of the num erous neighborhood "rows" that occu" In that part of town. Wilt, one of the most energetic officers is on the war path. "Those Gordon Flats are one of th3 worst places in town," he said after the trial was over. "I expect to have a hot time, but. I'm going to clean them up." I EARNS HIS HONEY Millionaire's Son Who Tried to Kidnap Girl Free. Dad Allows Him Dollar to Be gin Life On. Chicago, Sept. 2 4. Harold F. Hoops, son of a wealthy manufacturer here, who more than three weeks ago; was sent to the city work house on a fine of $25, after a young woman ha! complained that he tried to indv.ee her to enter his automobile, was re leased yesterday- His father sent h'.ni a check for $13 with a note whicn read: "You have now served 26 days in prison. You were fined $25 for in suiting a young girl on the street, and to have worked out that fine would have entailed 50 days. In other worrls the state allow.? you 50 cents a day for your labor. I also allow you that sum. The inclosed check is payment in full. "This is the first money you ev-r earned in vour life. Twelve dollars- will pay that part of your fine that hat not been worked out. That will leme vnn one dollar of capital with whi-:h to beein life. Come to see me and will find some honest work'for you to do. What you have done in the pest has been forgiven. Whether it can t; forzotten Jenends on yourself. You now have a clean sheet on which write vour future." Moons naid his fine. came down town on a street car and went direct ly to the office of his father. TAFT TALKS ON MONEY The President Thinks All of It Should Be in .Circulation. Washington, Sept. 24. "I think all the money we have should be in cir culation in a system which invites it and does not drive it into stocks and safetv deposit vaults." said Mr. Taft todav in addressing the American As sociation of Commercial Executives in convention here before he left for New York. "One of the troubles with us, inher ent in the character of our govern ment, is that congress and public men are prone to deal with those things which attract men most easily and favorably in short to headline the at tention of the general public," said the president. "It's pretty hard to get the people to pay attention to a banking system, but the problem must be solved and it is up to the business men of the country." Mr Taft also discussed the budget system of government finance, which he favors, but which congress at its last session declined to adopt. Iougherty Again Arrested. Chicago, Sept. 24. Newton C. Doufrherty, former superintendent of the Peoria, 111., schools, who recently was paroled from the Joliet prison after serving six years for embezzle ment of school funds, was taken into custody here today on new indictment returned yesterday at Peoria. Weather Forecast for Kansas. Local rains and cooler tonight; fair Wednesday. NOT A DEMOCRAT YEAR Third Tarty Showing Weak and Pitiful. Roosevelt's Treason to Party That Made Him Great. Detroit, Sept. 24. Chas. D. Hilles, Republican national chairman, after several hours in this city devoted to conferences on the political situation, left last night for New York, where today he will meet President Taft and detail to him the satisfactory progress of the campaign for his re-election. Mr. Hilles freely discussed the rea sons for the political faith that is in him. He is confident that the tide has turned and that Taft sentiment throughout the country is being deep ly stirred and materially accelerated by the trend or events. "There is no longer much talk to the effect that Republicans will vote for Wilson to assure the defeat of Roosevelt," he said. "There has been talk of that character, but the pitiful showing thus far made by the third term candidate has emphasized his weakness and clearly indicated his position in the race as a bad third Republicans are therefore determined (Continued on Page Two. BEST MILK IS HERE Topeka Will Compete for World Wide Honors Next Week. Seven Local Dealers to Enter International Contest. Seven Topeka milk dealers have been selected by Dr. G. F. Babb, city milk inspector, to compete with the world for the best milk produced :n the United States. The International Dairy association has invited the f pekans to enter a contest which will be held in Milwaukee October 22-31. Topeka not only intends to send sev en of her best milk samples to Mil waukee think of sending milk to Milwaukee? But she fully expects to come back with all of the medals and diplomas that can be pinned on Dr. Babb's breast. From comparisons and scorings with government reports, Dr. Babb has decided that Topeka consumers receive the best milk in the world. He is waiting anxiously for the International Dairy associa tion to declare the fact officially. The Milwaukee meeting will award diplomas and medals to the winners of the milk, contest individually and to the city sending the best sjamples collectively. The dealers chosen by the city m'l-'t inspector to enter the world-wide milk competition are: J. W. Bigger, Fred Miller, W. H. Maxwell, H. McMillan, George Pu'gh, Parr Son. Dudley Farm Dairy. IS GOLD AND GLOOMY Weather Man Offers Little Joy to Pil grims Here Below. The day is cool and gloomy. The total rainfall up to 2 o'clock was .2-1 of an inch. At that hour there was Just a suspicion of blue sky. Conditions are extremely unsettled in the middle and northwest today. It is snowing in South Dakota. The wind is blowing twelve miles an hour from the south. The hourly readings: 7 nVlnL- B4I1I o'clock 63 8 o'clock 5512 o'clock o? 9 o'clock 5 S 1 o'clock 69 10 o'clock 65 2 o'clock 72 At 3:40 o'clock this morning a thunder storm broke over Topeka, the precipation up to 8:20 o'clock amounting to .19 of an inch. At tho hour last mentioned the rain had ceased, but by 9:30 o'clock a fine drizzle had begun which did not give promise of amounting to a great deal. The rain was general over the east ern third of the state. Local rains are forecasted for to night with a drop in temperature, but tomorrow will be fair, according to the weather man. Rainfall was recorded up to 7 o'clock this morning at the following points: Concordia 12 Emporia -3 Hanover .22 Horton 20 Tola 0- Manhattan 50 Sedan Kansas City St. Joe .10 .01 .01 WILL SEND MARINES.

Actirg Secretary of the Navy Beekman Winthrop announced that 750 United States marines will be dispatched at once to Santo Domingo. Washington. Sept. 24. President Taft left here at 10 a. m over the Pennsylvania railroad for New Yark where his train is due at 4:11 o ciock. He will go to the home of his brother, Henr-- W. Taft, and start at 11:30 p. m. for Altoona from where he expects to icave tomorrow afternoon for Bevarly. WORRY OYER OPPOSITION Lack of Interest May Defeat Some of the Bridges. City Hall Anticipates a Poll of 5,000 Out of 17,000. When the official count of the vote on the bridge bond issue Is counted tomorrow, it will show, without a doubt, that the lightest vote in ten years in Topeka has been registered today. With the heaviest registration in history, and a $145,000 bond issue at stake, the voters have taken little In terest In the results. At noon today in some precincts in the city only 15 and 20 persons had voted. It is estimated by C. H. Titus, election commissioner, that not more than 5.000 out of an eligibility list of more than 17,000 will make known their ideas on the bridge question when the polls are closed at 7 o'clock this even ing. Another feature has developed today the strength of the opposition to the bridge bonds. Owing to the fact that persons favoring the bonds take slack interest In their vote, the full strength of the opposition will be felt. On the East side and north of the river, a decided complaint against an Increase in taxes has built up an unlooked for sentiment against a bond issue. City Hall Is Confident. The city hail today Is confident that the bond issue will pass. Prejudiced by their feeling that it is economy for the city to rebuild permanently with concrete all of the weak bridges in the city, the city commissioners can not realize that there are voters against the plan. The ideas of the mayor expressed today are representative at ttie city hall. He says: "I have faith in the vote of the tax payers today I cannot see where they can afford to vote against the bonds. Topeka cannot withstand a flood along the Shunganunga the damages would amount to much more than the bond Issue. The city is not in shape to meet the damages resulting from accidents on weak bridges. The repairs to old structures in a few years would coat us the price of a bond issue. I fail to see the argument against the pro positions submitted today. I know that people are fighting higher taxes so ie the city. The bond issue today will mean a reduction of taxes In the fu ture." Very few women are voting today- only the wives of men who are against the increase in taxes. Scores have ta ken their "wives to the office of Com missioner Titus and registered them that they would vote against the bond issue. The city hall is confident that the bonds will carry and on the other hand they listen to the objections with no little worry over the result. The light vote may defeat a number of the bridges. The count will be announced tomor row by Commissioner Titus. It should take but a few hours to finish the re sults this evening. SEEKS HELP III SOUTH Roosevelt Seeks Votes In tliu Enemy's Country. Chandler. Okla., Sept. 24. With hn arrival in Oklahoma today Colon --1 Roosevelt began the last stage of his trans-continental tour, which will tak him through the south. He will spenl a week in the southern and south eastern states. At the time the Pri gressive party was founded Colonel Roosevelt announced that he would make his fight as vigorously in the south as in the other sections of tne country, and that he hoped the ne.v party would break up the "solid south." Colonel Roosevelt spent two houis in Chandler on his arrival early today, before starting for Oklahoma City, where he was to spend most of tho day. He was to remain In Oklahoma City until midnight, leaving them for Arkansas. Thence he goes eastward. The colonel will not reach New York until a day later than was planned. He received word today that instead of going on to New York from North Carolina, where he Is to speak on Monday cf next week, arrangements had been made for a trip to Tenncas) on Tuesday, with addresses at Chat tanooga and Knoiville. He will reach New York at noon on Wednes day. Plans for the remainder of Colonel Roosevelt's campaign have been map. ped out tentatively. The colonel will remain at home from Wednesday of next week until the following Monday, except for a trip to Wasntngton on Friday to testify before the senate committee which is invetigatinij campaign contributions. Then begins a Journey of ten days into the middle west. He will take his campaign into Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan an.l Wisconsin and on the way back prob ably will spend two days In Pennsyl vania. After a brief rest he is to r.o to New England for a week. The closing days of the campaign are to be spent in New York state. GAMES POSTPONED.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SEPTEMBER 24, 1912 POLITICAL GOSSIP. Democrats Active In Sixth mid Tart Men in- Eightli District. Up in the Sixth district John R. Connelly is making a stubborn fight for election to congress. Connelly's opponent, Congressman I. D. Young, has met with little success in efforts to harmonize the warring factions in the Republican party and his stand on several issues have brought trouble both from the Progressives and the Ree-ulars. Karly in the campaign, Toung took a flat-footed stand for Roosevelt and courted Progressive favor. In the par ty council he voted against the pas sage of the Stone resolution urging the Roosevelt electors to withdraw from the Republican ticket. Ten days later Young came to Topeka and be hind closed doors and at a meeting where newspaper reporters were ex cluded, the Sixth district congress man admitted he hail made a bad guess on the Stone measure. It is these troubles that have caused a split in the Sixth district and such papers as the Osborne Farmer and Plainville Gazette have declared open war on the present congressman. Four years ago Connelly was the Democratic nominee for congress and was defeated by about 200 votes. Two years ago Young made a lamentably weak showing when- he lost his home county, Mitchell, by over 300 votes; and was unable to carry Beloit, his home town. This situation has en couraged the Sixth district Demo crats and they are making a hard, consistent fight for Young's scalp. The. Sedgwick county Republican league has gone on record in strong terms against any candidate for na tional, state, congressional or legisla tive office who is a supporter of Theodore Roosevelt. Sedgwick coun ty Republicans, in resolutions passed last week, denounce the actions of tha Progressive leaders in the party coun cil when they permitted the defeat of the Stone resolution under the threat that William Allen White, as national committeeman of another party, would put a new ticket in the field in Kansas. Resolutions passed by the Sedg wick county Republican league are ;n part as follows: "We approve the action of the Re publican State Central committee in requesting the Progressive electoral candidates to resign from the Repuo lican column and go on the ticket as the law provides, and we condemn in unmeasured terms the action of the partv council in permitting the can didates for state offices, for Unite! States senator, and for congressmen. to bulldoze them into rescinaing tae action of the committee at the com mand of William Allen White, -who threatened to put a Progressive state ticket in the field and force these gentlemen to alien themselves under it, unless his orders were obeyed. "The fight to disfranchise the 75.000 Republicans of Kansas by keeping the Tsft and Sherman electors out of the Republican column was led by Gover nor Stubbs, Arthur Capper, Victor Murdock. Senator Bristow and William Allen White, the national committee man of the Progressive party in this sfate, and by several Republican can didates for state offices. "We consider that we are under no party obligation to vote for sny candi date on the Republican ticket national, state, congressional or legislative who is supporting Theodore Roosevelt for president. They are members of an other polittcal party. "Under the admininstration of our "able, upright and distinguished Presi dent. William Howard Taft,' our coun try has made unsurpassed progress in every line of business. He has solved successfully some of the greatest and most intricate problems ever brought before any president. He is the recog nized head of the great peace move ment of the world, and this ought to remmend him to every good citizen of Kansas. He has dealt wisely yet firmly with the difficult Mexican problem, and has announced that he will not inau gurate a war without the sanction of congress. "Many sincere and honest Republi cans voted for Mr. Roosevelt at the primary because they have liked him personally. They did not jee that his success means the disruption of the party to which they belong, and in whose principles they believe. When they realize this we believe they will iio longer support him." TIDE HAS TURNED, Continued from Page 1.1 to stick together and what they can do when united was made man ifest by the election in Maine. The Business Condition. "The fear of tariff tinkering, with its attendant inevitable demoralization of general business conditions, has brought the American manufacturer and the American workingman to a complete and sympathetic under standing o the issues involved in lhis campaign. The people of the United States have not forgotten the condi tions that resulted from the pass-.ise of the last Democratic free trade measure, mournfully remembered as the Wilson bill. The bank failures, the business bankruptcies, the wide spread suffering, the strikes, the riots, the bread lines and souphouses, the demonstrations on the part of hun dreds of thousands of unemployed men, the panics, the Coxey and Ke'lv armies, that succeeded the free-trade change in our tariff fabric at that time, formed a chapter in American history to which no reasonable beinr would care to return. And yet. just such a danger confronts the American people, in the event of Mr. Wilson'3 election, and because of that danger, the business world is determined to reinstate Mr. Taft for another four year term. Taft and Prosperity. "Nothing will contribute more to the happiness and the prosperity of the country than the triumphant elec tion of Mr. Taft. The defeat of Wil son would deal a crushing blow to the hopes of those who are determined to interfere radically with the economic conditions .now existing. Business conditions now are more satisfactory than they have been in rfecads. Labor is profitably employed. The anti-trust law has been enforced with out fear or favor, so that the great corporations engaged in interstate commerce, unable longer to secure partial treatment from those sworn to enforce the laws, are squaring thir operations to the provisions of the statutes, and are compelled again to meet the competitions of smaller business rivals, to whom the field was heretofore closed. The great power of corporations can no longer be used to crush the life out of competitors. Calm enforcement of the law has compelled recognition of principles that will make for even greater pros perity and greater opportunity to H who desire to enter the lists. Betrayal of Taffs Friendship. "The betrayal of President Taffs friendship by Theodore Roosevelt was an act of perfidy which the American people resent. For 30 years Colonel Roosevelt was identified with the party which he has now deserted. For 30 years it had crowned him with honors. But it is a party that stands for con stitutional government, and when h3 endeavored to lay the axe at the root of its institutions, when he endeavor ed to discard the tradition that al lows no man more than two terms .at the White House, when he demanded that the faithful services of William Howard Taft and the. splendid achieve ments of nis administration be un rrratefully disregarded in order that his own vaulting ambition might be given fuller play, the party rebelled. And because it rebelled, he raised the cry of 'stop thief,' when he himself had been caught with his hands in anoth er man's pocket. Tlse Alleged Contests. "At the Chicago convention he a.d his personal representatives frame! up contests for delegates which were without merit and absolutely fraudu lent, and Colonel Roosevelt himst'lf smilingly admitted it. And yet, when these contests were decided against him, as they should have been, ho showed himself to be an advocate n--t of the square deal, but of the loud squeal, and, on the pretense that the national committee had robbed him. h. left the party at a time when it hrd become more responsive to popular opinion than at any other period dur ing the three decades of his member ship in it. The Itepublican Party Program. "The Republican party has never put forth so progressive a platform as that on which Mr. Taft stands for re election. The Republican party was good enough for Mr. Roosevelt as fall back as 1882. when he wanted to gc to the New York assembly. It was good enough for him in 1884, whin James G. Blaine was its candidate. It was good enough for him in 18S5. when the bosses, whom he now de cries, but with whom he constantly operated throughout his own politie'i! career, gave him the nomination for mavor of Xew York. It was good enough for him in 1S89. when hi wanted to be civil service commission er, although the national leader at thst time was Mathew Stanley Quay c Pennsylvania. He did not desert In 1897, when he wanted to be assistant secretary of the navy, although he had to get the place through the kindly assistance of Hanna, Piatt and Qua.-. When Party Was Good Enough. "He did not repudiate the party in 1S98, when ho wanted tho nomination for governor of Xew York, and whe.i he was willing to remain on friendly terms with the Piatt machine to se cure that nomination. The party w.-.s good in 1900, when Piatt and Quay forced his nomination for the vice presidency. It was all right in 1904, when he demanded of it his own nom nation for the presidency. And there ms nothing the matter with it in 190S. when he dictated the nomination of his successor, when he co-operaieel coercially with the members of tb same Republican national commute whom now he denounced as scoundre'-j and thieves'. The party would have been good enough in 1912 if it hao continued to accept orders from him It would have been good enough if It had defied the anti-third term tradi tion and given him the nominati-.m. There would have be n no objecti-n to the narticirjation of the hiacK man of the south in political affairs if th? black man of the south had been fr Roosevelt. There would have been no outcry against the participation of th? south in the nomination of a Republi can president, it the southern delegates had been for Roosevelt- The party would never have been denounced as reactionary and irresponsive to popu'ar opinion, if it had nominated ME. Br., it didn't, and failing to make it th-j instrument of his own vaulting ambi tion and subservient to his own venge ful spirit, he determined upon its de struction. Turning to Taft. "But the people are of another mind. Mr. Roosevelt will disappear from the scene of activities in due time, but the Republican party wil": survive. Xo one man is indispensable to the party, just as no one man is in dispensable to the country. It is this knowledge which is gaining ground. The people are now fully apprised of the splendid attainments and the high character of their chief executive. And because of it, because of the con viction that prosperity and develop ment along all lines material anil ideal are best subserved by it, the people of the country are turning to President Taft in such numbers' as to irive nromise of his re-election in No vember, an outcome in which I have the deepest abiding personal faith." COUNTY POLITICS. Progressive Shawnee Committee Will Meet Thursday Afternoon. A meeting of the executive commit tee of the Republican connty central committee has been called to meet at the assembly room of the National ho tel next Thursday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. The meeting has been called by Charles E. Suit, chairman, and W. S. Fulton, secretary, of the Progres sive committee. One of the principal objects of the meeting will be to prorate assessments of Republican county candidates, and plan the details of the county cam paign. Following the meeting the can didates will be notified officially of the assessments against them, and it is likely a meeting of the candidates will he held to discuss the situation. It is believed that many of the candidates will refuse to pay assessments made against them, the candidates believing that the committee will be able tc help them not at all, and the assess ments therefore being but a gift which most of the candidates cannot afford. The executive committee is made uc of five members of the county central committee from the rural precincts, one from each ward of the city, and the chairman and secretary of the county committee. The prorating of assessments will be made in carrying out the plans of the full committee meeting, held at the Knights Ladies of Security hall a short time ago. The full committee voted down a resolu tion relieving the candidates from the payment of assessments, and decided by vote to levy the "usual assessments" which aggregate in the neighborhood of $1,500. WIT AND LOGIC. (Continued from Page One.) Harlan waded at once into the issues in Kansas. With the most scathing language, the Chicago man blistered Stubbs. Dolley, the Kansas Progres sive leaders and Roosevelt as the Chief Bull Moose. Time after time he wa? interrupted by applause in his cool and candid handling of the Bull Moose Is sue. "The party that attempts to build up nr, iioxoit and treachery, repels honest men rieclar?d Harlan. "Roosevelt's partv was in its inception a lie and died' a horning. They hoped for suc cess in Kansas by stealing your elec tors. But stealing has never been very popular or successful in Kansas even under Progressive administra tions. The man who steals your pook etbook while singing 'Onward Chris tian Soldier,' is not recognized as tn t- ndvocate of honesty. That same m beep the party presidential nominee. It was Bede who painted Roosevelt as a liar of as many hues and shades as the rainbow. And it was Bed-3 who re called that the only thing Roosevelt ever finished was prosperity when his administration blew up in the panic of 1907. "If Roosevelt is elected, he promises a special session of congress to do a lot el things that" no one wants done except Roosevelt. -r the socialists and the anarchists. I don't, know why we have so many of these ailments croupe, chickenpox. smallpox, social ism, anarchism and Rooseveltism. And then there is that Bull Moose slogan a wonderful slogan Thou shall not steal, and how appropriate If Mr. Roosevelt would add, 'Thou shall not squeal.' Now, really and honestly what did Teddy ever finish? I will tell you. It was prosperity which collided with his 1907 panic. Not until Taft took the oath of office was prosperity returned to the people." Then Bede commented on Roose velt's ability as a liar, not a plain, every day, ordinary liar; but one with many accomplishments. "Roosevelt is not an ordinary liar," said Bede. "He is the finished product. J-ijing is not a habit. It is a gift. He is no more to blame than though he ere ciuD-iooted. But you wouldn ciuo-rootea man in a mara thor. race. Now, you Kansans throw iwa., your red bandana and get right and ask yourselves if the stars and stripes are not better man the red l UK. -ine. warlan-Bede meeting lasted more man two hours and a half. The hall was cold, but the 2,000 or 2,500 people who attended the meeting sat throughout the arraignment of the RooFevelt record and the nk,i eienea tne speakers was gen eral and enthusiastic. Practically all of the people in the crowd last night mcic vuLers. At tne Roosevelt meet ings about 4 0 per cent of the crowd s mmposeq ot women and children.

ENLARGE CONTINENTAL The Bij Creamery Will $10,000 Addition. Have a A third story is being added to the northeast wing of the Continental Creamery building, 200 Polk street, and the rear portion of the four-story main building is being reinforced with steel and concrete. The improvements, which will be completed about the first of March of next year, will cost $10,000. Machinery will be installed in the addition to handle the by-products of buttermilk. Great quantities of but termilk will be '.ondensed to be shipped out as chicken food. The in creased demand for buttermilk by products has necessitated the addition. More butter is produced, when both creamery and renovated butter is con sidered, than at any other creamery in the world, according to the manage ment. However, there are two or three other concerns that put out more strictly creamery butter. TRIES TO USE A KNIFE Youth Regents Suggestions That He Hunt Job. Manhattan. Kan.. Sept. 24.

J call it stealing. What do you can iv Then Harlan paid his repect to the crowds of curious ones who heard tn Roosevelt speech. "Roosevelt naa a iarse "V tbev tell me," said Harlan large crowd in other Ringlings' circus. Again discussing Harlan said: "The burglar even the gentleman burglar has not sunk so low as your candidates who would stay on the Re publican ticket when they know they belong to another party. The man who would steal your party emblem is infinitely lower and baser in the moral scale than the man who would steal your purse, though that man occupy a governor's mansion. The man who as chairman of your state committee, would sit on this platform in endorse ment of these men and their methods is baser than the gentleman burglar. Teach your children to point the finger of scorn at such men. Ostracise them. Don't let your children play with their children. Teach them to say. 'there they go.' and to stay away from them. Iletlectiou on Kansas Voters. "Why, when William Alien wnne gave out his interview in which he said .the Taft people must be good or tne would have no cnance 10 vote ior choice for president, it reflected an act of courage and virtue on the or dinary burglar as compared with the man who would point a gun at the head of the men of the party. "I want to brand such men as these and Roosevelt as moral thieves if the leader does not command them, "Thou shall not steal.' I must denounce him as a tnier auu a. n t i i he refuses to pick these men on tne ticket and refuses to be interviewed regarding the matter." Then Harlan devoiea nis time it Roosevelt. He took the starch out of Roosevelt's explanation of Perkins' contrite heart and penitent spirit when he contributed $50,000 to the Roose velt campaign fund. "Mr. Perkins and Mr. Munsey are just grub staking' Mr. Roosevelt in this campaign," explained Harlan. "Perkins" $50,000 was given as the trustee of the widows and orphans whose funds he held in trust. He only demanded two things in return for that grub stake. He asked the abandonment of the pro ceedings against the harvester trust in 1906 for rebating and Rooseveit called a halt at Perkins' request. Per kins demanded that suit be abandoned and Roosevelt ordered the papers sent to his office and the action held for further orders that never came. Not until William Howard Taft became president was the suit revived. Then Mr. Perkins, through the persuasive in fluence of an indictment, paid that $50, 000 back to the widow and orphans. "As a falsifier," said Harlan at an other time, "and a man who has brow beaten and bulldozed the entire na tion, Roosevelt is without equal. He is a man who has lied and defiantly stood up and branded others as liars. He is a man who won't keep his word, written or spoken." And Harlan proceeded to prove his assertions in the public declarations of Roosevelt in which he promised to carry out the McKinley policies, an nounced and wrote that he would nev er accept a third term, won the Xew Tork gubernatorial election as the hero of San Juan, when he wasn't there: and produced untold imaginary correspondence to substantiate his manv claims. Bede Is a Brilliant Orator. It was the clever wit J. Adam Bede who dug under the Eull Moose move ment and made the crowd at tle Audi torium roar with delight. It was Bede who met the Roosevelt-Lincoln com parisons with a clsu?h of records that left the rough rider in the discard. It was Bede who gave the Kansas Re publicans the advice that if they couldn't vote for real Republicans in Kansas, to make no mistake, but to vote for the Democrats. It was Bede who went back 2 8 years to find when Roosevelt first learned that the Re publican party was rotten and corrupt and helped the audience to discover that it was the afternoon of June 2 2, 1912, when Roosevelt received the news that Taft and not himself had there s a Dretty little play at the wiaiestic tnis week, one that's essn thilly pleasing to a Topeka audience its pastoral, with country folk ard summer boarders in the cast. and brings with it a wholesome whiff of clover and White Mountain air. The scenery is especially eoofi painted by Hugo Miller, who has just returned irom studying in Chicago. Three new actors made their debut last night. Shirley DeMee, the in genue, is well placed; light, pretty full of fun, and with features that make up admirably for her especial part, George fcharpe, juvenile chap, is a good actor, and, more than that good looking :is matinee men go. Al bert Lawrence, who had the part of Ward Andrewi, enunciates well. The change is a relief, for he is taking tl.o place of Jack Marlowe, who mumbled unintelligibly. Miss Bron.iugh's part is not as dis tinctive as usual: the role of Virgie Rand has not great scope. "Not awfully interesting," as Miss Bronaugh puts it hersalf. Nevertheless she was extremely good. The Novelty is certainly holding its own in the production of first class vaudeville. There are several unus ually good features this week, The Eula Lee quartet made a tre mendous hit; their voices are wel trained and well used. The bell song with its musical chimes, was especially fine. Olive Morgan, singing comedienne, has a fine mezzo soprano voice arc- some catchy songs- It is not often that five first class singers are col lected und'T one vaudeville roof. Wenzer Palmer produce a com edv playlet that Is short, snappy and sniced with fun. The Zeb Zarro.v troUDe of pantomime cyclists take the prize for any thing of the kind that has ever been smown in iopeKa. A. L. H. SEES FEW SOUTHPAWS Leflhand Pitcliers Are Passing, Arthur Irwin Says. New Tork, Sept. 24. After several weeks spent in observing the work "t young players in the minor leagues throughout the country. Arthur Irwin, the veteran scout of the New York Ameri cans, has come to the conclusion that the left handed pitcher is dying out. "I've combed the bushes this year as never before," said Irwin on his return to New York, "and never did I see such, a scarcity of southpaws. They are not to be had. "My experience is the same as the ex perience of other scouts with whom I hava talked. I cannot account for it, ex cept on the theory that left handed per sons are getting rare in all walks of life "In my travels this season I saw very few left handed pitchers, fewer than I ever saw in all my years in baseball. I'll venture the prediction that next season there will be fewer new southpaws in the big leagues than in any season in 25 years." MISS SHAW COMING.

Middle class steers lost 20 to 35 cents last week, prime steers held up steady, and medium to common steers also held about steady. Quarantine steers held up steady. but stockers and feeders declined around 25 cents. Total receipts here were 74,000, including 8,000 calves and of this number 26,000 were bought for shipment to the country. The run today is 28,000 head here, including 2,000 calves, and the mar ket is following the same general lines laid out last week, except that stockers and feeders are selling steady today, be cause of the presence of plenty of buyers from the country here today. A string of Colorado steers here today was com peted for by both feeder buyers and kill ers, half of the drove, containing the tops, though there was not much difference in the cattle after they were sorted, going to feeder buyers at $6.30, and the balance to killers at $5.80. pasture cattle from native territory are getting the brunt of the decline lately, and sell at $6.00 to $8.50, some fed westerns today at $10.10. No prime natives have been here for a week, but such would range up to $10.80. Quar antine runs lack quality, showing the ap proach of the end of the season, steers today at $4.50 to $5.75. Dealers now say that quarantine shippers will clean up close this season, and that a good many grass cattle from native territory remain to come. Hogs touched bottom the middle of last week, and started back upward, contin uing that way up to and including today, top todav $8.75. bulk J8.45 to J8.70. The break last week was regarded very ser iously by those who were enforcing it, but to most dealers there seems nothing on the market horizon to make hogs any thing but good property indefinitely ahead. Sheep and lambs wavered a little last week, and a big run at all point today upset the situation. Run here is 20,000 head and lambs are selling 25 cents lower, tops $7.00, fat wethers worth 4J.30. .Ranee stock makes up bulk of the run, carrying a rather small percentage of feeding stuff, which finds a ready outlet. Feeding lambs are worth J6.00 to J6.35. yearlings J4.50 to J5.25, breeding ewes J3.50 to $4.25.

An unusual accident last evening led to the fatal injury of Herman Slackman, a city truckman. A horse he was driving unable to control itself while on a steep incline in the Bronx, slid over a cliff 30 feet above a sidewalk where a number of children were playing. The wheels of the- wagon caught on the sawlike edge of the cliff and the animal hung in the air until It died. An open vat In the wagon contain ing half a ton of tar was upset and the hot liquid cascade descended and narrowly missed the children. Slackman was catapulted over the edge of the cliff, striking on a shelf of rock. 112... 1... 1... 1... 13... 1... 2... 10... 18... 42... 18.. 20... 1... 16... 40... 1... 1... 742 S80 990 .1020 764 8S0 585 3.65 4.40 4W 3.50 3.60 4.15 4.15 11. 1. 5. 13.. 7. 1. 700 8S0 774 7646 717 940 4.40 3.60 4.50 3.60 4.35 3.

The higerest man in baseball and the idol of fandom that's Jake Stahl. manager of the Boston Red Sox and one of the strong est players on the Boston team. Stahl has had an interesting career. Born in Elkhart. 111., in 18S0, he grad uated from the Klkhart high school in 1897, having won honors both on the diamond and in track athletics in in terscholastic competition. After leaving high school his father gave him the choice of a college edu cation or a position in his store. Jake at first thought he'd prefer the latter, but before two jears rolled around he had changed his mind. He entered the University of Illinois in the fall of 189. At college Jake soor. won honors in athletics. He played four years of college baseball and football. Though weighing but 148 pounds, he played guard and tackle on the freshman eleven. In the spring he tried for the baseball team along with Fred Falkenbure and Can Lundgreiu He made the team, but Walter Thornton, who was coach of the diamond ath letics, advised him to give up pitch ing, owing to lack cf control. In his first varsity game Stahl was stationed in the outfield. With the score 9 to 6 in favor of Illinois in the ninth inning and the bases filled with Michiganders, Stahl misjudged a fly ball that counted for a home run and brought about Illinois' defeat. 10 to 9. Stahl made four hits that day and inasmuch as the Hunois catcher had given a miserable shibition. George Huff decided to sbifi. Jake from the outfield to the backotopplng position. As left guard on the football team in 1902 Stahl helped to defeat the Uni versity of Chicago eleven 2 3 to 0 by making three touchdowns. On his graduation in 1901 Stahl had offers to join the Boston Americans and the Chicago Nationals. He joined the former on account of the salary, and during that season earned a bat ting average in 3 8 jrames cf .299. Stahl was disposed of tc Washing ton the following season and became a first baseman. He took part In 141 games and batted .161. In 1905 and 1906 Stahl acted as manager of the Nationals. Their poor showing affected his own good work, and in 190 1 he was succeeded by Joe Can- tillon. Stahl was then sold to the Chicago White Sox. but chose to cast his lot with the semi-pros in the Windy City. He became owner of the South Chicago club, but as the earn ings were not as regular as major league pay days, ne applied for reinstatement- He then figured in- the three-cornered deal by which he went to New York. Laporte to Boston and Parent to Chicago. Stahl reported to New York in the spring of 1908 and rlayed right field, but was sold to Boston in July cf that year for a cash consideration. He fulfilled a three-year contract, which expired with the season of 1910, and then entered the banking busi ness, not playing at all last season. This year he returned to Boston as part owner and manager and has given the Beantown fans a pennant winner. The playing season in the Western League will close Sunday at Denver when the Kaws finish the last game of a double header scheduled for Septem ber 29. As far as Topeka is concerned the playing ended fair week. The team has been away since then and there is nothing for the local team to fight for. A number of players have been allow ed to go home and others win stop here Monday en route their wintcf quarters. j What would you do if you owned the ball team? Next year It is hoped that the Kaws will make a better showing. To make a better showing changes must be made on the team. What changes should be made is the question which will cause countless discussions this winter. The same question will cause a busy cold season for Manager Gear. And just because the writer has the opportunity he is goinr to say here what he thinks is needed on the team. It doesn't follow that the guess will be anywhere near the correct one. Yours is just as good and probably better. Manager Gear quite likely has one that suits him better than this one. And this is written without in- formation as to what the owners o" the club may plan or hope to do. j Myers, if. Breen. rf. Tennant. Ib. Evans. 3b. Andreas. 2b. Chapman, c.

SEASON CLOSES. around the circuit more than offset the conditions at St. Paul and Louis ville, and, all in all. the season just closed had been a prosperous one.

He should have a steady, heady, reliable man with some years of ex perience as a bacsstopper. ine man ager can t watch tne pitcners ana run the ball club. He needs some one to help out with this work beside doing the big end of the backstopping. Tne Kaws have lost a lot of games this year through poor work behind the bat. Billings, a recruit catcher from the Central Kansas League, is a promising youngster. It is believed that he will be a great catcher some day. But he shouldn't be depended upon for the bulk of the work. An old catcher could help him a great deal as well as help the pitchers. And the promising ones don't always look so good when they return. Smith, the young Indian catcher looked like great guns in the spring but was disappointing when re called late this summer. He didn't show enough to keep his job unless it has been on the road lately. So we want an old head catcher who likes to work and help teach the young sters. The Lord knows no one needs pitch ers much wcrse tnan the local cIud. The Reynolds draft leaves his owner ship unsettled. Cochran shows sign3 of becoming a pitcher. He has a good arm and is quick to learn. He is Dossibility and one which should be carefully cared for. Hornsby has pitched some good ball for the Kaws and should hold one ot tne mound 30DS next year. Adams the writer has not seen work but the Hastings recruit has pitched some good ball on the road. Cocreham well what alls Cocreham? With his size and arm he ought to be one of the best. Some say he doesn't use his head and others say he gets a lump in his throat. At that he pitched a no hit game against Omaha. But the writer has sat at the local yard and watched Cocreham groove the ball with two strikes and no balls on the batter. That kind of pitching doesn't win games. Cocreham isn't the offender in this respect. In the last game played here Cy Young did the same thing against one of the strong est Sioax City batsmen, and what Andreas did to that ball would melt a heart of stone. But getting back to Cocreham. the writer would have to be awfully hard up for pitching material before the big fellow would be given more chance at class A ball. More experience may make a good ditcher of the big fellow. Here's hop ing it does. The Kaws need three good pitchers. By good pitchers is meant the Hagerman, Leonard. Johnson, Durham kind. With Hornsby for the fourth and the fifth to be developed of Reynolds or Cochran the Kaws could start out strong in the pitching de partment, j If You Are Not Cured You Owe Them Nothing The United Doctors, S10 Kansas avenue, are the only specialists in Topeka or central Kansas making the proposition to their patients, that if you are not cured of the affliction from which you suffer you owe them nothing.

Gardner will probably play better ball next year than he did this and he will finish right at the .300 mark in hit ting this year. He hits timely and does a lot of other things that a ball player should do. The other position is second base. French, Hensling or Walsh, as the case may be. should cover this sack with out trouble. The writer inclines to Walsh- He is good at tagging:, fast at fielding, and growing better, and fleet of foot as an Indian. Walsh's only failing is that he is a weak hitter. When the pitcher gets two strikes on him Jeems can't fight back. With men on bases he either brings the man home or fails to advance him. If his drive isn't a hit the runner is stuck as James can't keep 'em on the ground. With the remainder of the infield made up of strong hitters the writer would favor him for the second base Job. Unless the other infielders are to be hard hitters a man who swings the willow better should be at the half way station. Figuring on keeping Walsh at sec- j ond the Kaws need a hard hitting third baseman and shortstop. Infielders who are only quick and fast at fielding will not do. Hitters are necessary to get in runs. The Kaws have had enough men left on bases this year to elect Roosevelt. McDonald, touted as a fence buster has been sick and nearly blind since Joining the Topeka club. He may be a good ball player under normal conditions but you must admit that third base is no place for a blind man. McDonald may get into condition and burn up the league next year. But the Kaws have wasted too much time waiting for something of this kind to happen. As to the short field job the writer has not seen enough of Hensling and French to say as to their qualifications. But an iiifielder who can hit as well as field is needed, especially if Walsh is kept at second. As far as the writer now knows, and not figuring either French or Hensling in the job the Kaws need a shortstop and a third baseman. ffcifii"-- ).!M3 Train. f kV- j to Lt.

King will probably finish the season batting in the eighties. He a clever, popular, nara woriang oaii player. He gets flies in centerfield that a lot of them would miss. He's sen sible, decent and works hard anywhere the manager puts him. The writer be lieves that he's good enough for next year provided he is properly surround ed. Lee is the fastest fielder who ever paddled around the left field for the local team and will hit more than this year unless his luck remains the same. Add to this the fact that he is light ning fast on bases and you have a pret ty good man. His hitting hasn't been a.3 good as it should have been but this may be excused on the ground that he played both shortstop and the sunfield. He will not do in either place. Left in the left field the writer be lieves Lee will make a splendid fielder for the Kaws and hit around the .300 mark another year. Lee probably will finish the season about the .280 mark, As to Bashang the writer believes the Detroiter will not do, judging his worth by his work here. With two extra strong hitters in tne outneld nis speed might make him stick but what It seems to the writer is needed now la a fence buster who can play the sun field. Detroit thought a lot of Bashang and people there know infinitely more about'a ball player than the writer but personally this department can t see the Navin youtn. In closing it may be repeated that Gear probably has a better plan for strengthening tne team tnan tne one mentioned. The owners probably have ideas of strengthening the team dif ferent from the ones mentioned here. These are one man's opinions and axe as likely to be wrong as your own or those of anyone else. Such changes would give the Kaw3 a stronger team than the one that has represented the city this season. And in closing it'e only fair to say that a cleaner, more decent, squarer set of fellows never worked in this city than the bunch that has been here this year. Pleasant to meet, never attempting to get credit that did not belong to them in the dozens of ways ballplayers have, gen tlemanly in their conduct on and off the field they have set an example that could be followed to advantage by many players on teams that finished about eighth place. Lincoln News: Dale Gear an nounces the signing of Pitcher Ru tenhaven, who is to join the Kaws late next week in Denver. Rustan haven is the flinger whose record with a semi-pro team in Cheyenne last year attracted the attention of Mugg"y McGraw. Rusty tried out with the Giants last spring, but could not show his stuff because of a sore wing. He was released and rejoined Chey enne, with whom he has had another winning season.

There is finally a record of one col lar button that did not get away. some aoetors recently round it In a man's lung. Most of the women probably wi'l think kindly of that Wichita man who insists that his wife's affections aro worth 1 15,000. That California woman who has in vented a bullet-proof lining for man's clothing should hurry up and start business in New York. A motion is hereby made that "Old Tom," William Allen White's familv hors?, be givsn a vote at the forth coming presidential election. There will be general agreement with Colonel Roosevelt that he is say ing the "mucn" he has to say. If talk wasn't cheap, the Bull Moose;, move ment would have been bankrupted long ago. Glenn Curtiss, theTaviator, says that hydroaeroplanes- will soon be skim ming back and forth across the At lantic ocean. Nevertheless in his last trip across a steamship was good enough for him. If Colonel Roosevelt were president at this time there wouldn't be any trouble solving the fuel problem for the Panama canal. A wonderfully rich oil field has just been discovered in Colombian territory. Another double aviation tragedy, tts third within a month, has just, en livened the monotony among the Eu ropean bird-men. As aviation advance!, on its way it seems to be getting mote and more dangerous- Nor should the news from Havana that Cuba is approaching a grave po litical crisis cause much wonder. Jn states where Latin-Americans are in the saddle, grave political crises ire most ordinary affairs. Mr. Bryan may find a little food lor thought in the statistics which demonstrate convincingly that gov ernment ownership and operation of the railroads in France has proved to be a monumental failure. Nor does that famous New York veterinary who has been in Kansas investigating the horse plague achieve any distinction by saying that the malady puzzles him. That's what it has done to all other horse specialists. Solely on the theory that every lit tle bit helps, there is probable cause for some rejoicing over the drop of 20 cents a barrel in the price of flow;-. But it is not a reduction that will mean a very material saving for the man who buys his flour in 2 4-pound lots Professor Dyche, the state fish and same warden. seems to have put tne hunters of the state in something of a dilemma by requesting them to sug gest a plan whereby the game in Kan sas may be increased. The hunters are chiefly concerned in destroying such game as they can get near enough to shoot. Shawnee county, Kansas, appears to be running Reno, Nevada, a close race for the title of being the divorce mec ca of the United States. No less thtn seventy divorce suits were filed in the district court here in the past thre. months. Nor is this a record to which any community can point with. prid-1. Surely the evidence is piling up ai the time that one of the reforms Kan sas really needs is a more stringent di vorce law, and more stringent mar riage laws, as well. Dr. Alfred Jones, a prominent nerve specialist of London, told a Los An geles audience recently that dress is causing the ruination of more women's lives in America than malignant dis eases. He argues that the intend competition among American women ..I of all classes to keep up the pace s-.-t j by fashion is nerve-wracking unit nerve-destroying. And Dr. JoneahaU he continued nis investigation further. might have found similar conditions among the men who have to pay t.e bills. T. R. ALONE IN HIS GLORY. As far as Kansans are concerned, the most interesting thing that Col onel Roosevelt had to say during his visit in this state was voiced by him at Ottawa when he stated with his usual vigor, in the course of his regu lar speech there: 'If we can't get our ticket on the ballot without having Taffs name over it, I trust that every Progressive candidate will get off the ballot and out from under the Taft heading." This statement was made by the colonel before he had had any extend ed conferences with the Bull Mooao leaders in the state. Subsequently na did not reiterate his views to that ef fect, and while he was in Topeka he wouldn't express an opinion any kind concerning the political situa- I tion in Kansas, to such questions along that line as were asked him by newspaper reporters. But there has been no assertion from any source that Colonel Roose velt did not make the remarks at Ot tawa which are quoted above. And thev seem to show that the third- term candidate has some exceedingly definite ideas about a matter of par amount political importance in this state. Incidentally, they demonstrate that Colonel Roosevelt is sincere, at least, in the. break he has made from the Republican party. As far as he is concerned personally, he will not travel under false colors. He would not tolerate that electoral candidates favorable to him should appear in the Republican ticket on the Pennsyl vania ballot, with the names of Taft and Sherman at their head. He has taken the same firm etand in respect to the similar situation which threat ened in Kansas. He does not propose that a single vote shall come to him by any route that might savor of de ceit. Naturally he feels that the Kansans who are supporting him so assiduous ly in the third party movement, which is aimed among other things to smash the Republican party, should be as straightforward as he is himself in such an important particular. Many of them are candidates for high of- fice. They entered the Republican really under false pretenses primary for there was then as wide a cleavage between the new Roosevelt party and its supporters and the Republican par ty as there is now. They were succass ful in getting the nominations they sought at the hands of a majority of those who participated in the Re publican primary. Unless they are as fair and square as Colonel Rooseve.t is in this most important matter, they will go before the people next November on the Republican ticket and under the names of Taft. and Sherman. The colonel hopes that every Progressive candidate will get off the ballot and out trom unaer the Taft heading." It is a reasonable hope. Surely it is incompatiDie wi!:n the dictates of the simplest consis tency that the members of one politi- j cal party should be candidates for of fice on the ticket of another party. However, it is likely that Mr. Roosevelt's hopes in this direction will not be realized as far as certain of his ardent supporters in Kansas are concerned. They do not love the Bull Moose party the less. They merely love the Kansas Republican ticket as safe haven of political refuge the more. They know it is the only road they can travel to a possible victory at the polls. What does principle amount to when the quest of political fame and the emoluments of public office are at stake? It would be un reasonable to expect that all of his followers, even in Kansas, should measure up to the colonel in the high stand he has taken in this respect. And he is likely to be sorely disap pointed with some of them. WHY THE GERMANS LEAD. An American manufacturer who had wondered at the success of his Ger man competitors was struck by cer tain tig, flaming, official looking pos ters on the billboards and around pub lic building in Berlin, writes Hubert Evans, in Harper's Weekly. He might have seen similar posters in every town and city in Germany. Twice a year these official posters summon the youth of the land to obligatory attend ance at the trade and commercial schools. Indirectly they tell why the American or the English manufactur er finds in the German such a danger ous competitor. They reveal the secret of Germany's wonderful commercial and industrial prosperity and of her commanding position as a world pow er. To the philosophically inclined they suggest interesting reflections on the transformation cf Germany from a nation of idealists and dreamers into a nation of materialists and doers. There is scarcely anything in all Germany so new and modern as the continuation schools. This whole movement has been a matter of only a few years, and in its present form the continuation school is a child of yesterday. These institutions receive from the nation more care and solici tude than is bestowed upon the chil dren of the imperial family. They are still in a rapid process of change and development. Their very success has encouraged further changes and more stringent legislation in tneir behalf. It is only a few years ago that an im perial industrial law was passed giving communities authority to establish and maintain obligatory continuation schools for youths, thus making good the failure of certain German state governments to provide for such schools by state law. One of the last acts of the old reichstag last Decem ber was to amend this law so as to make it apply to all girls employed in offices, stores, and factories, as well as to boys. The whole subject is still so new and fresh tht every day the German press has some interesting item of continuation school news the operir-g of more domestic science schools for girls, the establishment of j training colleges for continuation school teachers, the publication of new laws and ministerial decrees. JOURNAL ENTRIES Women are no more susceptible to flattery than men. Wher a man tries to be funny he sel dom succeeds at it. No one has any' difficulty in remem bering the things he'd like to forget. A man's success can usually be measured by the number and import ance of his enemies. The husband who smokes is not in a very good position to urge his wife to economize. JAYHAWKER JOTS The fellow who walks off whistling when you offer insult to him is. vhe fellow you had better i.jt follow, ad vises the Hope Dispatch. The saw-edged dollar bill may now be looked for, thinks the Lincoln Re publican, now that the government has begun laundering currency. When a man starts to go down hill, says the Village Deacon in the Os borne Farmer, there are always five persons standing ready to pour oil on the rails to one who shovels on sand. Everybody has a different idea as to what constitutes luck. For instance, the editor of the McPherson Freeman thinks that L. P. Hodge is the lucki est man in that town. Mr. Hodge has a fine Jersey cow that recently pre sented him with nice twin calves. The Conway correspondent of the McPherson Democrat-Opinion seems to be doubtful that the birds of the air which visit the fields are much of a blessing to the farmers. Surely, he writes, considering the damage they do to the crops, they put in little time eating insects. More evidence, if any were needed, that advertising pays. A G-reenleaf man advertised for the return of a square that some friend had bor rowed and forgotten to return. Not only did the square come back, but it was followed by a chisel and a saw that the advertiser had not yet missed. Do you remember the big snow storm 56 years ago last Tuesday? asks the Newton Journal, and it continues There are perhaps not many who do, but nevertheless it did snow on Sent. 17, 1856 and the storm was general all over the central west. Mr. Lewis Gibson of W. 10th street, who told us. about it, said that tne phenomenon was so beautiful that he remembered it as if it were yesterday. Mr. Gibson lived in Buchanan county, Missouri, at that time, and as the country was heavily wooded, the contrast of the green leaves and white snow produced a deep impression on his mind. "It snowed all day" he continued, "and amounted to about four inches, and as the snow was wet and heavy t clung to the trees breaking many of them down. At a distance, rows of trees, groves and lines of timber look ed like immense snow banks and the limbs hung down so low that it was practically impossible to get through the timber. However, the snow went off In a day or two and we had some fine weather after that." GLOBE SIGHTS BT THE ATCHISON OLOBBL Ever see anyone sit erect on a coal wagon? Some men have too many Strong Hopes and work too little. "All That I Ask Is Love," Is sung by sweethearts more frequently than by wlves. As a rule a conference doesn't amount to any more than an ordinary rag chew ing. If this country has to be saveo. it won't be by the ones who wear campaign but tons. Give people six months in which to back out and they will agree to almost any thing. Some men are fairly successful at put ting their schemes over by labeling them Enterprise. Ab Adkins says he can tell It is going to be a haj-d winter by the size of the sal ary he is getting; he says they all are. Now that the wise professors have found bacteria in soda water, how Is daI to square it when the kid wants a "dink down town? Somehow Father, who serves as pay master in the home, doesn't seem to b as popular as those similarly engaged in the great outside world. An Atchison woman moved from a house and, among other things left for the owner, was a bottle of carbolic acid labeled, "Poison for Mrs. Jones." "Perhaps you can fool yourself, but I have never succeeded in acquiring the be lief that a five cent cigar is as good as the dime variety." Rufe Hoskins. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. J But optimism Is a good asset if It isn't overworked. Happiness often depends on the things we don't do. The mug of a hard drinker is likely to give him away. There's a lot to be seen at the seashore besides tiie shore. It is easier to reform a man than it is to keep him reformed. A star by any other name would prob ably want to be the whole show. If a man has loved and lost he is apt to consider marriage a failure. Virtue may be its own reward, but vice Isn't always its own punishment. A good way for a man to discover that he doesn't know a woman is to marry her. If all epitaphs had to be truthful it would bo better to leave some tombstones blank. A woman's idea of a rival is another woman who tries to have better clothes than hers. Some men are born poor, some achieve poverty and others meet up with a trenzied financier. Another fellow's sister always seems nicer to a young man than his own, until after he marries her. The way a mother acts over the baby's first tooth, one would think she had never been in a dentist's chair. The mother-in-law usually has a good deal to say. but about all the poor old father-in-law has to do is to pay the freight and say nothing. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. Optimism is mostly reklessness. The one thing a conceited man Is surest about Is that he isn't. -You can tell a man who picks good com pany by how lonesome h3 is. The strongest thing about good people is how ashamed of it they can be. A woman judges a man by his man ners: a man a woman by her morals; therefore all the trouble. ON THE SPUR OF TEE MOMENT BY ROY K. MOULTON. Some people are lucky; but anyone who declares himself a candidate for a two weeks annual vacation is elected and then spends said two weeks on his round side, should re frain from taking any chances on the ponies or the cloth covered table. The recent mixup in which one pa per declared that T. R. would spena Sunday with Stubbs In Topeka, and another that he would Sabbath with Bill White in Emporia, is easily ex plained: The press agent who gave out the dope was simply following the Roosevelt idea that HE was big enough to spend the same day in two places. Reform government in Cuba seems to b-5 a success. They have succeeded in spending 140 millions during the past two years. Not being a Spanish scholar, it is useless for us to look over the list of Cubai officials in search of the Span ish equivalent for "Stubbs." Thi latest London robbery is credit ed to the account of American crooks. England's experience with Wall street is such that America gets the credit for any first class cleaning. While in Empori-yay, HE rode be hind Old Tom. As it is a little too early in the season, the other member of the cool-weather team remained in the stable.

SAYS UNCLE GAV The man without opinions isn't worth much to himself or to anybody else, but he's a good deal better off than the fellow -who wears his opin ions for an Oregon boot. You know the type his name is legion and there is no more irritating pest on top of earth. He's the daddy of all the mossbacks, the original standpatter. and ever present stone in the road of progress. He always has the courage of his convictions, but never a reason for the faith that is In him. He is constitutionally, inherently, irrevoca bly and eternally opposed to that which is new. Instinct to him is rea soning, and he is as strong on instinct as an oyster. Likewise, he is quite as lacking in logic. He is the victim of his own ingrown prejudices and a con stant menace to tho peace of mind of progressive people. In ancient days he clung to his idols; later he Insisted that the earth was flat; today he swears by the old social and industrial orders and curses for a fanatic the scientist who would educate him to health and longevity. Have a care how you adhere to your opinions. What you regard as loyalty to conviction may be merely an as sinins stubbornness. Unalterable opin ions are the chief badge of the fool. Opinions founded upon prejudice, are an abomination. Facts and facts only, all the facts you are able to discover bearing upon a given subject, are the only proper basis of conviction, and he is supremely dishonest whose con victions are not revised when new facts come to light. He is insane who doe3 not stamp his views "subject to change." No young man can afford to be an intellectual standpatter. This is the sorry privilege of senility. To day's opinions are for today's guid ance. Tomorrow, with new light, you will have need of new views for new tasks. Hp is little short of an imbecile who fancies himself to be discredited through a change of opinion. The earth has thus far failed to produce an intellect that can comprehend the full meaning of its wonders, and until It brings forth a race of such beings, it will be man's chiefest claims to wis dom to maintain a rrind open to new convictions.

From the heath of Old Albyn to the plains of the West, And the broad seas that billow between, I have roamed like a harper in Chivalry's age. And the fairest of earth I have seen. I have lived in the land of the bold pioneers. And have seen it unfold as a play, From a wide lonely waste to a fair com monwealth, And the dawn of its prosperous day. In the halls of the learned I tarried while. And have drunk of their lore to mv fill. And of books not a few, of the doings of men. Of their thoughts and their hopes and tneir skin.

Miss Grace Champlin had secured situation as teacher in the Beech Hills Orphan Asylum and had been re quested to report on a certain day and by a certain train, and she would be met at the station by the asylum car riage. The young woman arrived as per instructions, but the carriage did not, and after waiting for an hour she started out to walk the distance over the highway. It was apple time the time when the biggest and best apples were ripe and being handpicked. The way was almost lined with orchards, and there was only one farmer on the route who would not have given her a peck of the best fruit had she Just men tioned it. But she didn't mention She waited until she had covered half the distance and then "met up with an apple tree that cast a limb over the roadside fence. Tramps and the rest of the traveling public had helped themselves till there was only a single apple left. It was large and ripe and red. It seemed to smile down on the girl and ask to be eaten. It was a feat of gymnastics beyond Miss Grace to climb the fence and the trunk of the tree and lie out on the branch and pluck the apple. A stone? A club? Yes. Not one time in a hun dred could the girl have hit the tree, but the chances were with her. The apple was hit in the head at the' first fire, and dowri it came. It had just been bitten into when a voice called out: Taken in the act, by Ceorge!" What what is it?" Just this, young lady," replied one of two men who had been hiding in a fence co.'ner. 1 am tne constable for this township, and this is Mr. Scroggs, owner of this farm. He owns this orchard. He owns that apple tree. He owns the apple you are chanking on. We are here to watch for trespassers, and we have caught one. You are under arrest. You must go with me to Squar' Bascomb's house." 'And you'll git thirty days in jail, sneered Scroggs. "I've had thieves around till I'm tired of it." Sir, don't you call me a thief! exclaimed the girl. But you see, you were taken in the act," put in the constable. Two witnesses agin ye, and ye can't git out of it, followed Scroggs, But what have I done what have I stolen?" was asked. Trespassed on my apple tree and stolen a big apple! Mebbe I'll have ye tried on both charges. I left that big apple there a-purpoae to catch a thief!" 'Ill pay for the apple," said Miss Champlin, who saw trouble ahead, but was not frightened. It's gone too fur too fur!" whis pered the officer. "There may be graft where you come from, but there hain't any here. You'll have to go with me." I won't go a step!" was the de fiant reply. "The charge is so silly that no court will entertain it. What sort of a man are you, Mr. Scroggs, to raise a fuss about an apple?" It's the principle I look at, young woman. Then you'd better look the other way!" If she won t come along, then put handcuffs and shackles on her," said the old man to the constable. The officer looked so appealingly at her that Miss Champlin signified her readiness to accompany him, and the three started off on a half-mile tramp. After the one bite the girl had carried the apple in her hand, she now went at it and devoured it to the core, and as she threw that away Mr. Scroggs. sighed dolefuBy and the constable managed to wink at her with his left eye without turn ing his head. Squar Bascombe was a farmer, and a burly, good natured man. He had to entertain a complaint, and while Scroggs said he wourd be. his own lawyer, his honor said to the pris oner: 'My son Dick happens to be home from college. He's studying to be a lawyer, and you d better let him take your case, i ou can t tell how serious it may become." "I shall be glad to have him." Dick Bascomb proved to be a good looking young man, and he hearten ed up his client by assuring her that she would escape state prison unless Scroggs could prove assault with in tent to kill. The owner of the apple had no dif ficulty in proving by the officer that it had been knocked off the tree by the prisoner, and that the tree be longed to him; also, that she had eaten it up as they came along," also that she had been "sassy" and defi ant. When the prosecution had clos ed its case, Dick Bascomb arose and said: "May it please the court, I move to quash all further proceedings in this case." "On what grounds?" asked his honor. j "Pn the following; i 'First, Mr. Scroogs had no signs up giving warning against trespassing. "Second, the defendant did not en ter upon his lands. "Third, while the apple tree itself may belong to the plaintiff in tho case, there is a question as to the ownership of the limb bearing the apple. It overhung the highway, and was in a sense, public property. "Fourth, the plaintiff has not shown whether the defendant knock ed down the apple with stone or club. We admit that she got the apple, but wasn't it ready to fall as she came along "Fifth, we find by their own ad mission that the constable and the plaintiff entered into a consniraev to have some one come along and gather the apple and then suffer arrest and indignity at their hands. "Sixth, the plaintiff admits that he said to the defendant that you would inflict a sentence of thirty days. This to frighten and humiliate her. "Seventh, the plaintiff charges one red apple. He does not specify wheth er it was large or small. "Eighth, the plaintiff admits that he left it there to tempt some one to trespass and to steal. "Ninth, the question has never been legally settled as to who owns the fruit hanging over the highway. If to the owner of an adjacent tree, then he is a trespasser upon a right of way. If to the public, then there can be no illegality in the public gathering it. "Tenth, the plaintiff does not aver that he demanded the apple from the possession of my client, or that she was not ready to give it up on de mand. "These are my reasons, your honor, for asking that the case be quashed and the cost be assessed upon the plaintiff." "Dick," replied the squire, when the young man had sat down, "you have hit things plum center. You are my son, but you might have lost the case for that. As it is. she's auashr.,1 flatter'n a pancake, and the plaintiff will have to pay 12.90 costs." "Why, I never hearn the llk shouted ScroirKS. "And the young lady can bring suit ior aamages for unlawful arrest!" "I'll fight her for fifty vears!" "That's contempt of court, and you are nnea z: "What in thunder 'More contempt of court, and St fine this time. Constable, take chargo or air. scroggs until his fines are paid. Miss Champlin, you are at liberty. Sorry to have put you to this trouble."' But I must pay my lawyer," she smiled, as she turned to Dick. "Yes," he replied, "and I shall not cancel the Indebtedness until I have hitched up the horse and driven you to the asylum. You might take a no tion to steal somebody's late pears if you went alone: "Yes, Squar," said Mr. Scroggs to nis nonor, "i ve also got a son." "Yes." "And he's a great hand to fall in love with good looking gals." "S-s-h! More contempt of court!" Not this time. I just wanted to say that if my Sam ever sees this gal and knows what a fool I made of mv- self you'll have to put him under bonds not to break his father's neck." Miss Champlin liked her place at the asylum very well, but at the end of a year she resigned to make a bridal tour. When a lawyer insists he generally gets his way, and Dick Bascomb insisted. (Copyrighted 1912, by McClure's Newspaper Syndi cate.) EVENING CHAT BT RUTH CAMERON. Of a certain great man very much in the public eye just now, a popular period! cal recently used an apt French phrase. It said that he had "les defauts des qual- ltes" which, as the gentle reader has al ready guessed, means that he had the de fects that go naturally with his peculiar qualities. This great man is pre-eminentlv "doer," and according to thin analvsla of his character, he has the precipitancy ana inaiscretion wmcn are the comple mentary defects of that charantor. Now as to whether this narttciilnr man nas tne qualities ana delects mentioned I am not srolne- to trv to e-npsa. vmt no i ve given my solemn word to the editor to Keep out or politics. But the reason I ve been telling you about him is Just this. I want to call vour attention to tha value oi mat J-Tench phrase. Do you realize that almost all of us have "les defauts des qualites"? We have, you know. And In ludsrina- or blaming or analyzing our family or our irienas, ana especially, l think, our chil dren, we should certainly take account of tnis. And yet how seldom we do! For instance, a child Is Quick to learn. eager and impulsive; we praise these qual ities. But he is also the Inevitable comple ment, rash and impulsive, and probably quick tempered. We blame him for these tendencies and wonder where on earth they came from. They are nothing but other manifestations of the qualities we praise. I know a young woman who. all throueh her childhood and girlhood, was tremen ously intense, in her play, her study, her friendships, and all that she felt or did. Her mother undoubtedly knew this and, I think, took pride in it. But when womanhood came and the same intensity displayed itself In other wavs and almost ruined the girl's life, the mother could not see where she got such a passionate dis position. If the coiner of the French phrase will permit I'd like to twist It a bit, and say that we also have the quail- ties or our defects. or instance, a friend of mine supplied a piece of information which a group of people wanted. "How did you ever find that out?" they Inquired. "How?" she answered." "Because I wanted to know and asked. That's the way with you peo ple you laugh at me because I go around asking questions, but you are glad enough o snare my Knowledge when vou want to know anything." You see she had the quality of her defect If you may call curiosity a defect; I don't, but some do the fund of knowledge that went with her inquiring mind. Good and bad are often onlv two names for different phases of the same thing. And if you will use this point of view as a key, I think you will find it easier o understand folks' characters, vour own included. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record.! The best thing out an aching tooth. A pessimist is a man who wou'd rather be right than be happy. It's pleasure, not happiness, that brings ousters on a man s nanas. It takes the average man ail his life to get acquainted with his conscience. Many a political speaker permits his lungs to run away with his logic. The popular ball player says it Isn't much of a trick to make a hit with a Miss. It doesn't pay to go entirely on the theory that It's the unexpected that al ways happens. Many a woman spends all her life won dering how she will have her halo trim med wnen she gets to heaven. Blobbs "Biones is a pretty lucky fish erman, isn't he?" Slobbs "I should say he was lucky.

The glory that from time to tim-e comes to some one In each library town as 'the man who secured the munificent gift from Andrew Carne gie" is one of the things that amuse the informed. Every town that wants a Carnegie building for its library considers very deeply who has "in fluence" with the Scottish iron mas ter. The most hopeful specimen is en trusted with the job of appealing for funds. In the course of time it may be a few weeks, months or even years, Carnegie's secretary on libraries reaches the matter. The whole thing runs on a machine-like plan, and if the facts and conditions are right the library gift comes, whether mavor or city scavenger, one of the literati, the politician, the ecclesiastic, the educa tor, the public official, or the section hand writes glowingly or appealing to Carnegie. Judge Ruppenthal in the Luray Herald. THE COST OF BEEF. The eating of beefsteak will soon be one of the lost arts if the price of steers in our stockyards continues to advance. About a month ago, when the price on the hoof went to 10 cente a pound, it was regarded as prohibi tive by the average householder, and now that the quotation has jumped to 11 cents, with an intimation that the top has not yet been reached, the buy ing of beef by people of small or mod erate means is likely to stop entirely. The present remedy for the situation appears to be the purchase of other kinds of meat or the adoption of a diet in which cereals and vegetables have a larger part. It Is to be ex pected that with a growing popula tion and our cattle producing area get ting smaller each year the price of beef would advance, but it is not ex pected that congress will fail to s-jd- pjy a remedy for the situation, by re moving tne ad valorem tariff of 27 Vi per cent on cattle one year old or over and valued at least $14 a head. Such action would permit beef from Argentine Republic to come to this country and would be sure to lower meat prices. The beef would not be equal to our best native products, but' it would be good enough to satisfy the average family. When congress reassembles, one of the first duties should be to repeal this schedule and see how an open market would affect the country. Boston Globe. o BRITISH NAVAL RESERVES. There has been not a little anxiety in England of late over the scarcity of sailors for the navy, and a new plan has now been adopted by tho admiralty for the creation of an addi tion to the naval reserves. The new class will be made up of seamen, stok ers and royal marines who have served in the navy, and will be known as the immediate class of the royal fleet reserve. Men who volunteer will be required to enroll for five years, dur ing which they will have each year 28 days of sea training on a man-o'-war, -as a rule in June and July, being free the rest of the year. They will re-, ceive for compensation a shilling a day through the year, instead of the half-shilling paid other naval reserves. While on shipboard they will receive in addition service pay and an extra allowance of 17 cents a day. The ob ject is to create a highly trained re serve ready for Immediate use, and employers are being urged to give their men freedom to volunteer for this emergency service. The naval re serve force Is large, but scattered and lacking In training, and at present part of the fleet would be under a serious handicap In the first days of a war. But in these times the first days art' likely to be decisive, and the creation of this new force is another sign of the nervous tension under which England is suffering.

The damage was trifling. A rubber tube was connected with a gas jet and stove. The tube blew out. Paper on the wall caught fire. A little girl, home sick, turned in the alarm.

The change in women's styles has dashed upon the rocks of ruin the Bell Gar ment company, David Bell, president, and Carlton C. Sigler, vice president, declrre. The 50.000 concern is threatened with insolvency because petticoats no longer are fashionable. All this was alleged before Judge Collister. who appointed Attorney A. V. Ctnnon receiver to wind up the garment company's affairs at the re quest of Bell and Sigler. "The object of the company when It was organized was to make petti coats." Attorney Joseph Stern, who filed the application for a receiver, said. "The women have discarded petti coats and about a year ago the con cern started making jther women's apparel. However, it has on hand a larg" stock of petticoats for which there is no market." The man who knows tobacco is tie man who appreciates Auroras. T3.1 cents at Geo. Burghart's. v' it J c P? wlV?

Sickles are threatened again by a suit filed today by the Bank of the Metropolis in the supreme court. The suit i& for $3,000 on a promissory note executed June 4 and payable Septem ber 4, the note having remained un paid. The general's earlier troubles which threatened not onlv hi art collection but his house at 23 Fifth avenue were recently settled by the interposition of the gvneral's wife, from whom he has been estranged for 27 years. By sacri ficing her jewels his wife averted the sale of the general's things. which otherwise would have passed under the r-ammer this fall. The trouble recently adjusted by the general's wife was due to a judgment for 78,000 secured by the Lincoln Trust company against General Sickles last spring. IN FIELD IN FORCE.

i: 6 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SEPTEMBER 24, 1912 HE GALLSNAMES Governor Wilson Attacks Home Bosses in a Speech. Addresses Princeton Crowd from Steps of a Church. HE CALLS THEM BY WE Says They Are All Alike and Hare !No Tolitics. Actions Are Dictated Solely by Business Interests. Princeton, Sept. 24. Governor Woodrow Wilson came here today for the first time since he became tt c presidential nominee of the Democrat ic party. Escorted by a procession of students in yellow "slickers" the form er president of Princeton univers'.y rode in an automobile through the streets while the students cheered. TTo governor went to a booth and vote for William Hughes, who is a candi; date at today's primary election for the Democratic endorsement for Unit ed States senator against former Sen ator James Smith, jr. The students followed along. When the governor came out of the voting booth Ill mounted the steps of a church aivi talked about the bosses and trusts. "The boss merely as a political or ganizer," the governor sakl, "is not dangerous. Merely as a manager who commands the organization and zeL3 out the vote on polling day he is n r. to be feared and he is an almost ne-ee3a-i- instrument of polities but the man we call ooss is the agent of those who wish to control politics in mc.r own interest- "I have known some of the5-e" gen tlemen personally and I know exactly how they work. They haven't anj politics at all. There is no difference between a Democrat boss and a re publican boss, because neither of trer.1 is working for his party. They a both working for their clients. A nil I,,.!- nCnta wish to see that men lo not get into office who thwart th.-m and that laws are not passed that em barrass their business. No Politics in Tt. "The chief supporters of the Demo crat boss if he happens to be in the majority are often those most closely associated with the Republican t and vice-versa. The men who chiefly want Jim Smith in the senate are Re publicans, not Democrats and when ever I have fought him, his chief sup porters have come from Republican newspapers not independent news papers that speak public opinion. I refer to papers in Camden, controlled bv Mr. David Baird in New Jersey. "I always mention names. Baird is the Republican boss of Camden and he owns two newspapers that constitute tho chief support of Smith. "Do you understand? There is no politics in it. There is business in .1 dewn to the bottom, two kinds of busi ness, controlling local government so that your friends will get all the con tracts and the control of national busi ness: so that your friends won't be em barrassed by the legislation of congress or state legislation in regard to their fctslness enterprises." The governor spoke of, the proposal of the third party to regulate trusts by means of an industrial commission and continued "I don't want to regulate trusts. I want to put them on their mettle. I want to see that they can't put any body out of business except by doinr? business better than anybody else. I want to squeeze the water out of their stocks. I want to put the water in a tank on their backs and see if they car carry that water as against the men who are doing business without any water to carry. "Then either they will break under the strain or get rid of the water themselves because they can't carry water and do business against competi tion." The governor left this afternoon for New York.

Sew 'orman Wear Residence to Be a Model. When the work of remodeling the store of the Crosby Brothers' company which will be started October 1, is com pleted, this firm, according to the state ment of the management, will have twice the floor space of any other mer cantile establishment in Kansas 157,625 square feet. The main building will have a frontage of 100 feet and will extend from Kansas avenue back tc Jackson street, 320 feet. The number! will be "17-723 inclusive, and will absorb the 50 foot frontage now controlled by the Mills Dry Goods company. There will be four floors, including the base ment. The store when complete will be up-to-date in every detail. An elaborate new front will be installed, with dou ble entrances In the, center of the building. Between the entrances will be a plate glass showcase set in cop per bars. The vestibule which will be fitted with tile floor will be 17 feet and 16 inches deep. There will be a show case at the rear of the vestibule and corresponding to the showcase between the two main entrances. The passage way will be eight feet wide on either side of the two show cases, and there will be an aisle between the latter. The center walls will be taken out and steel beams and columns install ed. The alley, which is 22 feet wide will be spanned by a reinforced concrete bridge the full width of the building 100 feet. On this bridge will be an elegantly appointed rest room for visitors; alsi the offices. The fixtures will be of quarter sawed golden oak, with egg shell finish. The showcases will be of glass. A pneumatic tube system will be a feature of the improvements, and there are scores of other additions that have not as yet been determined upon by the management. There will be two new elevatorE which will make three in all. "We expect to extend all departments in proportion to the amount of space available," said E. H. Crosby, of the firm today, "and we contemplate add ing new departments." The domestic department will be brought from the basement. to the main floor. The house furnishing stock will be largely increased. In figuring the number of square feet which will be occupied by the firm included the building on Jackson street, now immediately joining the main building of the Crosby Brothers' com pany. This -is 50x75 feet in size. It is occupied by the cabinet, shade mak ing, tailoring, and other departments. Also the two floors over the Payne Shoe company are occupied by Crosby Brothers. These floors are 22x150 feet. N. P. Neilson is the architect em ployed to draw the plans for the im provements. As the details for the improvements have not as yet been worked out it would be impossible to estimate the total cost of the work.

The Xorman Wear Residence. Contractors are now figuring on the plans for the Norman S. Wear resi dence which will be erected at 13 21 Topeka avenue, and which when com pleted will be one of the finest homes in the city. The contract will be let within a. few days. The interior finishing will be ex ceedingly attractive although no ex pensive end fancy touches will be add ed. Everything will be in good taste, and the material will be the best. Downstairs the woodwork will be in oak. and on the second floor in birch and white enamel. Including, a screened-in dining porch to the rear of the house and adjoining the regular dining room, a sleeping porch above this, and a de.i on the first floor, there will be eleven rooms in the residence.

Letters notifying the Republican county candidates of assessments made against them by the Taft Republican county central committee were sent out today by John T. Chaney, chair man of the committee. The assess ments range from $50 to $C5 for the best paid offices, and from $10 to $2c for the other offices, aggregating a total of $667.50 against 22 Republican candi dates, or an average of a fraction over $30 each. The letter calls attention to the fact that if the candidates pay the assess ments the committee will appreciate it, but that there is no therat attached tt a failure to pay. "If the candidates will pay the as sessments, thus aiding the committee to that extent. well and good." Mr. Chaney said, talking of the matter. "If they do not feel disposed to pay them well and good anyway. We hope they will see their Way clear to make the payments." The letter follows: "Recognizing -the unusual political conditions, existing at this time, .the members of the- Taft and Sherman Republican county committee have given more than the usual considera tion to the matter of assessment, in connection with the Republican nomi nees en the Shawnee county ticket. It is not the intention or the desire of the committee to in any wise embar rass the candidates and for that rea son this assessment has been placed at a nominal figure, 25 per cent of the amount levied two years ago. "Attached hereto is a statement showing the aggregate amount this as sessment will raise, also showing the amount levied against each candtdate. You will observe that the amount you are assessed is (varying with the candidate.) "This committee is organized for the distinct purpose of advancing and maintaining the cause of Republican ism, as embodied in the 1912 Chicago platform. We want your assistance in this work, and while the payment of the above assessment is not compul sory, yet in order that we may carry on the work as we have planned, we would very much appreciate your fa vorable consideration. You can make payment to F. M. Bonebrake, treasur er of the committee. "The committee has opened head quarters in the New England building, and a series of ward and township meetings have been arranged, and an active campaign more especially for the election of all Republican nomi nees on the county ticket will be con ducted.

Coe was arrested by Officer Pinkston at Sixteenth and Kansas avenue. He was forcing his horse to pull a wagon containing 28 bales of hay. The con dition of the horse In undescribable and the miserable beast fell from fatigue and overwork. Officer Pinkston testi fied that the services of five men were necessary to help the horse to its feet. While going down the hill on Fifth street, between Kansas avenue and Jackson, the horse while unhitched E. from the wagon fell again and it was necessary to help it up again. Kilmaurs King, the humane officer, was summoned by Officer Pinkston when he found Coe in possession of the horse at Sixteenth and Kansas av enue. The officer accompanied Officer Pinkston, Coe and the horse to the po lice station. Coe claimed that he had bought the animal of a horse trader and that it had been doped. Mr. Coe's father, Cyrus Coe, was also in police court and claimed that he had been feeding the horse three gallons of feed each day in addition to hay. Judge Arnold did not deny that the horse had not been fed properly but asserted that it was unfit for service of any character and fined Mr. Coe $10.

They are the first of 150,000 Fords that will be made during- the coming- year. That will mean that about every other car sold during the coming- year will be a Ford. We have had repeated calls for the Ford since the first of July which we have been unabel to fill, as the 75,000 allotment for 1912 was sold out before the 1913 car could be made ready for the market. Let us show you the Ford. Let us explain why it is the car for YOU to buy. Let us demonstrate its strength, its power, its economy in operation, its all around usefulness.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURJTAIi SEPTEMBER 24, 1912 GIVE UPJTRUGGLE Two Badly Wanted Men Call on Police. Forger and Burglar Are Tor tured by Conscience. MEANS LIFE FOB HASTINGS He Has Served Three Terms for Burglary. AH Forgers Are Cowards, Old One Says. New York. Sept. 24. Police head quarters here housed two prisoners this morning, both of whom had dropped In voluntarily during the night to give themselves up, although the detective had long since given up hope of ever locating them. One was Rudolph Mast ing, wanted for forgery, the other was Thomas Murphy, sought for a $3,0oC burglary in Yonkers. Masting is a man of 60, with military bearing and expensively dressed. "I have come here to give myself up," he remarked casually to Lieuten ant Kogarty, when he strolled up to the desk at headquarters. "I'm a for ger and one with a long record too. You have my criminal history here and my photograph and I know well that conviction now it will be my fourth conviction will mean a life sentence." He explained that he was wanted for stealing $1,000 from a manufacturing firm by means of a series of forgeries. "Last week." he added. "I had a stroke of conscience that carried me off my feet. I would have taken my life had I not been a coward. All forgers are cowards. "I don't know why I ever became a forger. Forging has an irresistible fascination for me. I simply can't help doing it when one of the fits comes up." Second Shock for Cops. Mtrphy, a much younger man, but Just as trim and prosperous of appear ance as Masting, strolled into the po lice station an hour or two after the self confessed forger had been locked up. "I'm a burglar," he said, without a trace of emotion. "I Just dropped into ask you to take charge of me." He then explained that he was wanted for robbing the home of the Rev. Paul Stratton, a Presbyterian minister of Yonkers, N. Y., on July 1. "I'm tired of this life." he declared, "and want to go to Sing Sing." TO GO OUT OF POLITICS Fourth Class Postmasters to Be Placed Under Civil Service ltules. Washington, Sept. 24. It has been practically decided that President Taft in the near future will issue an ex ecutive order placing fourth class postmasters in the classified service. This order, relieving 36,038 postmasters from the uncertainty of political ap pointment, will be one of the most comprehensive and far-reaching orders as affecting the civil service ever Is sued by a president of the United States. That the president would take this step, his first act toward putting into practice his often expressed belief that all government officers below the grade of cabinet member should be removed from the influence of politics and placed under the civil service, became practically certain after a delegation of postmasters, returning from the annual convention of the association at Rich mond, Va., had been received at the White House, and by Postmaster Gen eral Hitchcock. The visitors submit ted a monster petition, signed by about 20.000 postmasters, asking that they be placed in the classified list. After dis cussing the matter briefly with the del egation. President Taft referred the ex ecutive committee of the association to Mr. Hitchcock for further considera tion of the matter. Later the com mittee called upon the postmaster gen eral to discuss the subject with him. In a few days Mr. Hitchcock will submit to President Taft a formal recommendation that the petition be granted and the president is expected to act promptly and favorably upon the recommendation. Order to Be Extended. In the entire country there were 49.672 fourth class postmasters at the its Many foods lack brain FOOD is particularly rich in nourishment. Besides being- well balanced for producing physical vigor, it contains Phosphate of Potash (as grown in wheat and barley) the essential cell salt used by Nature in building "gray matter" of brain and nerves. A regular morning dish of Grape-Nuts and cream has helped many a person to "be up and doing." And there's comfort in good health. There's a Reason" for Grape-Nuts Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., end of the last fiscal year. By execu tive order Issued in July, 1908, President Roosevelt placed the fourth class post masters of all of the New England states and of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin in the civil service a total of 13,634. Those still without the servics number 36.038. While the details of the proposition have not been worked out, It Is ex pected the gathering into classified ser vice of this great number of officials will be accomplished by the designation of the postmasters of groups of states successively. It will require an im mense amount of labor on the part of the civil service commission particu larly, as well as on the part of the postofHce department. Both the president and Postmaster General Hitchcock have recommended to congress that all postmasters be converted into the classified service and that so far as possible the entire personnel of the postal service be re moved from political influence. As to the first, second and third class post masters, legislation by congress would be required to place them under civil service regulations; but the president now has authority, under certain limi tations of competency and efficiency, tc put postmasters of the fourth class under the protection of the civil sei vice rules.

Briggs, Republican, whose term ex pires next March. The governor's choice, Congressman William Hughes, of Paterson, is oppos ed by former Senator James Smith.

Follow ers of the fortunes of Kansas univer sity on the gridiron are expecting a big season from present indications. A squac. of forty men is working daily on McCook field under the direction of Coach Arthur Mosse and Assistant Leonard Frank, and many of them are displaying good form. The old men who are back in the game include Captain Brownlee, Weidlein, Price, Davk, Coolidge and Magill. The freshman squad of the last season has contributed a number of promising men. Among them are Miltch, Hatch er, Martin, Kyan and Hamilton. Stuewe, who was a promising full back last season, but was forced to quit because of illness, is back again this year and Kansas university fans are expecting him to fill well the place vacated by "Rock Crusher" Ammons, who has been K. U.'s man on all-Mis-souri-valley for the past two seasons. Weidemann. a 200-pound Lawrence high school athlete, promises to be one of the best tackles in the confer ence The indications are that the Kansas line will weigh between 170 and 3 80 pounds. It is necessary this season for the coaches to develop a quarterback, but Billy Price and Magill, ends of last season, are showing up well in this department. Thus far the practice has been limited to signal work and fun damentals. The first scrimmage is to be held on Wednesday with the fresh man squad. The first game of the sea son will be played on October 5 with St. JTarys as the opposing team. Des Moines. Ia., Sept. 24. "An un usually strong backfleld and a weak line" is the way Athletic Director John L. Griffith of Drake university sum med up the football situation after putting a squad of thirty men through hard practice for eight days. The ma jority of these whose have participated in the practice have shown good lorm and there are many promising players among the new men. Last year's players who are in the game this year include Captain Lan sing. Simons, Krull, Colville and Mc cormick. Quarterbacks Warren and McBain are expected to return and be gin practice this week. The first game of the season will be played with Par sons college October 5 at Drake stadium. Ames, la., Sept. 24. A squad of about 35 men has been put through daily practice on the local gridiron since September 1 and Coach Clyde Williams stated after today's practice that football prospects at Iowa State college are unusually bright. The first test of the team's strength will come October 5 when Ames will meet Min nesota at Minneapolis. Practically all of the team's best players last year are in the game. WinHeld, Kan., Sept. 24. After two weeks of preliminary practice Coch Clapp is beginning to round South western's football team into form. The firs scrimmage practice was had Fri day, and the men are being appointed for the opening game of the season at Manhattan on the 2 8th. Earl Am nions, K. U.'s captain, '11, was to have been here last week to- assist Coach Clapp and give him pointers on the Manhattan game, but canceled the en gagement on account of the rain and the unfavorable condition of the field. A bucking machine has been set up and the line men are working hard at it. The old squad have started signal practice, and are working out a set of new plays made possible under t'e new rules. The new men who hsvo shown up best in practice so far. arc Randels, the speed merchant from Anthony, Leekley, the Arkansas Cirv star; Moore, the fleet footed halfback from Medicine Lodge: the husky Dart isman from Pratt; Russell of Stafford, and Robleson and "Bob" .Schmidt cf WinHeld- Of the old men, Bernstorf, Zeigler, Wesley and Teoman In the back field are already showing tl.e speed which characterized the team's work last year. In the line are Cai beck, Curfman, Templin and McKib ben who are to form the nucleus f'r the team, while Rutledge is the one best bet for the end. Lear and Carl son, of the old team, came in Saturday, and will get to work in a day or two. Lawrence, Kan., Sept. 24.

This game will give the football followers a chance to gt DR PlAC-fillfS This Surprise good. We have all sizes priced $40 and up their first real idea of the changes which the new rules will make in the game. Coach Bert Kennedy expects to have a strong team at Haskell this year although all his men are light and It is the heavy team, he says, thac will have the advantage with the new rules this year. Eight of last year s men are out for this season's squad. They are: Williams, captain at:d tackle; McGillis, Mzhickteno. Deer Roque, Artichoker, Goodeagle and Fontenell. The Indians have beer, working for two weeks and are iu pretty good hape. In this respect they will have a slight advantage over Baker. The game also will give the Kansas coaches a chance to size up the Bakerites- The Jayhawkers meet Baker following the St. Marys game. Columbia. Mo., Sept. 24.

October i, AT THE THEATERS. "The Rosary," Rowland and Clif ford's theatrical success, which will be seen at the Grand tonight, tells a story of a modern Garden of Eden in which the serpent enters in the form of a rejected suitor, who wrecks the home and happiness of a married couple by playing upon the jealousy of the hus band. There is diffused throughout the drama remarkable air of purity, faith and hope from the opening scene, which pictures the happy couple about to celebrate their second marriage an niversary, and surronded by all the creature comforts of modern civiliza tion to the last act when the twain, broken in health and fortune, and wrecked by jealousy come like two weary children at the feet of the old priest who has fathered them through out their troubles. In the days of their prosperity they had built a chapel for their old friend, the priest, and in their adversity they come back to the little edifice one Sunday morn ing, Ji;st as the chimes send tneir mu sic rolling through the valley. The storj is interestingly told, and with a cast comprising Harrv Terry. Jean War.?, Addie Dougherty, Helen Mc Cabe, Roy Laidlaw, Douglas Lawrence, George Tripp and others and with scenic effects that are brilliant, the production is worth attending. "The Common Law," as a play. Is one better than the "Common Law" as a book; that's all there is to say about it. The plot of the story is well known to readers of Robert Chambers to anyone, for that matter; it's as old as the Gartinn of Eden. The tale is modernized anil brightened by thrusting the character into the artistic Bohemian set of New York. Valerie West, a pretty little mode I, refuses to marry Louis Neville, an artist, because she's afraid she will ruin his career; this fallacy is strengthened by Mamma Neville, who has social ambitions for her wayward son. Why mothers in books feel eternally disgraced if their sons are artistic is strange; mothers off the stage brag for months if their offspring evince the slightest degree of talent n any line. "I love you," sobs Valerie, "and always will love you. But I will not marry you. No." "I will not accept your sacrifice. Never," responds Louis, and bangs out the door. Finally Mamma Neville, in a startling fe Most Needed Invention of the Age The M. Gross OH Gas Burner for cooking and heating Is the wonder of the age.

RAILR0AD NEWS Difference in Old and Sew Pol icy of Union Pacific. Road Has Been Losing Ground in Surplus Showing. HAD TO KEEP UP ROADBED Present Management Has Fought Many Obstacles. Other Items of General Interest in Traffic World. In returning this week from an ex tensive inspection trip. Chairman Lovett, of the Union Pacific, said that he had never known crop conditions in tho west to be better, that business was fine, and that the outlook was excellent. That should be welcome news to holders of the Union Pacific explains the New York Evening Post. In issuing the preliminary income ac count for 1912, a month ago, it was officially stated that "gross earnings of the Union Pacific tor the fisca.1 year just ended were greater than in any previous year in its history, ex cept 1910 and 1911, which for a number of reasons were phenomenal. Nevertheless, after paying operating expenses, interest on bonds, and the preferred dividend, a surplus remain ed which was equal to only 13 per cent on the $216,644,300 10 per cent common stock, compared with 164 per cent in 1911, 19 per cent in 1910 and 1909, 16.2 per cent in 1908, an.i 16 Vs per cent in 1907. From the stockholders' point of view, those fig ures indicate plainly that the Union Pacific has been steadily losing ground. In explaining the results for 1912, it was pointed out that since 1907 taxes had increased from $2,069,734 to $4,368,788, that an unusually se vere winter had just been experienced and that operating expenses had been greatly increased by increased wage schedules, the shopmen's strike, and the passing of laws regarding boiler nspection, hours of service, full train crews, and safety appliance. All of those factors helped to pull down the surplus, after fixed charges, from $41, 9S3.000 in 1907 to $33,840,590 in 1912; but. aside from the shopmen's strike, which only started last year, those factors were not peculiar to the Union Pacific. Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Burlington, like Union Pacific, had to contend with the increase in taxes, the severe win ter, the increased wage schedules, and the new laws regarding boiler in spection, hours of service, full train crews, and safety appliance. Iespite those factors, however. Great North ern, for example, operated for 61.9 per cent of gross last year, compared with 66.3 per cent in 1911, and 68.2 per cent in 1910. Union Pacific's an nual reports show exactly the opp site results, the operating ratio in creasing from 55.5 per cent in 1910 to 59.7 per cent in 1911. and to 63.7 per cent in 1912. The following table gives the operating ratio, that is, the percentage of gross required to pay operating expenses of Union Pacific, Great Northern, Northern Pacific, and Burlington, for the past three years: 1912. 1911. 1910. Union Pacific 63.7 59.7 65.5 Great Northern 61.9 66.3 68.2 Northern Pacific 65.6 64.0 65.8 Burlington 73.9 71.0 75.3 From June 30, 1S98, to June 30, 1909, that is, under the management of E. H. Harriman, Union Pacific in creased its capital stock from $13f, 000.000 to $298,846,000. and its fund ed debt from $95,000,000 to $322, 785,000. That is a total increase in bonds and stocks of $390,631,000. Harriman used that money to de velop the Union Pacific into such a perfect machine physically that dur ing his time the operating ratio ran as low as 47 per cent of gross. As long as the company continued in raise new money and spend it lavish ly for improvements and betterments, it was possible to keep the operating ratio down. Since Harriman's death, three years ago, however, there has been no increase in either the bonded debt or capital stock, and hence the present management has had to con tend with natural depreciation in roadbed and equipment. Union Pacific may or may not sell at 219 under its present management, but, nevertheless, from an investment point of view, it is fortunate that the Harriman policy was not continu-?-! indefinitely. If the expectations of Union Pacific's chairman regarding the business outlook are realized, further increases to capital account can be avoided by applying increased earnings to roadbed and equipment. apprentices, made a thorough inspec tion of the local shops.. The Santa Fe is conceded to be years ahead of other railroad systems' in fe education of its mechanics. The rail road not only has a system of instruc tion in the shops, but also a school in which the apprentices are taught me chanical engineering. The Southern Pacific has no su"h system, and has now decided to ex tend its operations to better the edu cational facilities for the men who are to be the company's future mechanics. I 1 MAY LOSE C. B. O SHOPS. Denver City Council Refuses to Allow Tracks on Street Officials Angry. Denver, Colo., Sept. 24. The Bur lington railroad may select some oth er town than Denver for its shops and terminals for the handling of through business on its new gulf-to-coast routo as a result of the refusal of the city council to grant it the privilege of laying its tracks on Market street and obtaining better terminals in this city. Officials stated this morning that other towns wanted the improvements although they would not admit that such a change in the plans was con templated at this time. J. F. Vallery, general agent of the Burlington, advised President Darius Miller by telegraph of the action of the city council in rejecting its appli cation for a revocable permit to lay tracks on Market street. Until Mr. Miller takes the matter up with the other executive officials there will be no decision as to what the company will do. "The action of the city council was a deep disappointment to the com pany," said Mr. Vallery today. "We believe the ordinance was the most liberal that we ever offered to any city. Similar concessions were grant ed the company in St. Louis. Kansas City, Omaha and Uncoln without the cities receiving any bonus, as we proposed here. "We expected, through an expendi ture of $500,000 for "property, to lid in building up Denver." HE STRIKES OUT 25. Seven Errors by Catcher, However, I .ose Game for Powers Helena, Mont., Sept. 24.

A test of what is known as the Gollos automatic train stop has been made cn a stretoh of the Chicago Great Western track between Sycamore and De Kalb. T!i. The automatic stop consists of a shrc attached to the engine, which ptrikes a third rail when there is an obstruc tion or other danger ahead and sets the brakes of the train, thus bringing it to a stop. A train running at -15 miles an hour, it is said, can be auto matically brought to a stop within 50 feet of the point where the brakes are first set by the use of this device.
