TOPEKA OR WICHITA, WEIGH

The farther story travels the bigger
it gets, especially if it be in given direc-
tons and between certain points. For
instance whopper starting from Topeka
| will round up at Wichita as 4 matter of
no Importance whatever, but pin point
story originating in Wichita will strike
Topeka and the Missouri river as the
widest romance or the most gigantic
thing under the sun. The Daily Journal
tells the people of Topeka that the
Wichita auditorium enterprise is
monster in its way to cost two hundred
thousand dollars, magnificent in con-
ception and of startling and brilliant de-
tails, experimenting the doubled headed
astonishing news with an appeal to
Topeka to build an auditorium costing
at least as much if they would not see
all the conventions and great gatherings
of the state so to Wichita. The Journal
forgot to tell its frightened constituency
that fully 81 per cent OF the capital
stock subscription TO the Wichita audi
torium is to be held in reserve, held
inviolate in the pockets of the sub
scribers who constitute the stockholders.
officers and directors.
The Auditorium move upon the part
OF Wichita is one of pure patriotism, in
the interest OF the people of our beloved
state. There are many radical objec-
tons 10 Topeka as a convention town.

THAT GRAIN AND TRADE CONVEN-
TON

The call for a grain and trade con-
gress to meet at Wichita next month.
was published yesterday on the local
page. The objects of this meeting as
set forth in the call are of nature and
Importance that should interest the en-
tire west and south. There is no inten-
ton to engender sectional feeling or
strife, but to take a nineteenth century
view of our conditions and bring about
trade relations too long neglected and
10 blaze out a new and shorter path
from the one made before the
country west of the Misso uri
river was settled. 1t is believed
that where the roads running in a
southerly and southeastern direction
are brought to understand the immen-
sity of business that might be diverted
to the coast that they will reach out for
the business by offering equally as favor
able rates as those prevailing on eastern
lines. They certainly will if they con-
suit their own interests and the interests
of the country they traverse. There can
be no doubt but this meeting will re-
suit in great good and eventually bring
about new order of things that will
place Nebraska, Colorado and Kansas
and Oklahoma as near to the export
markets as the grain states east OF us.
