To the Editor of the state Journal:
In reading the resolutions adopted by
the county central committee, notice
that they make the test of mans Re-
publicanism the manner in which he
voted last fall at the state election, only
allowing those who voted the straight Re-
publican ticket or promise on oath to do
so in the future to vote at the coming
primaries Now, l cannot understand
why. if they intend to live up to these
resolutions, they would allow the name
of q candidate to be placed on the ticket
who voted for Lewelling last fall

W. g. Truesdale of Chicago, second
vice president and general manager of
day and today.
He is taking trip over the western
line to sort of look things over. So far
as he has gone he is well pleased with
the outlook from a crop and business
standpoint.
During his stay here he was piIoted
about the city by General Superintendent
Hit and General Passenger Agent An
derson. In the afternoon he called on A
e. Davis, whom he used to know in Chi
cago, and spent good part of his even
ing with Dean Millspaugh. with whom

Effort Being Made to Have the State Meet
Here in August.
If the plans of the Topeka bicycIists do
not fail Topeka will be full of wheel
men and wheels on August 18th and
17th. 1t is purposed to have the state
meet of the League of American Wheel
men here at that time.
The only question on which its realiza-
ton now hangs fire is the procuring of
the fair grounds track. This will doubt
less be overcome.
1t IS expected that at least five hundred
Kansas wheelmen from out of the city
will be here. The League has nearly
ninety members in Topeka. The morn-
ings will be devoted to the session,
pursuance of yearly business, and cleo
rion of officers, and the racing will take
place in the afternoon Fred Vesper is
one of the leading spirits.

THE CANNON BLEW up.
Last of q Gun which Has Celebrated Many
FOurths at Burlington. Kan.


FOurths at Burlington. Kan.
The cannon at Burlington, Kan, which
has done duty for many years to cele-
brate the Fourth and other occasions, Is
no more. It blew up on the Fourth Of
July and expired in one loud explosive
note of rejoicing.
Fortunately the explosion injured no
one, although Charles Fisher, who pulled
the lanyard, stood within two feet of the
gun when it occurred The barrel was
split right through the center from top
to bottom and one of the side pieces
broken in two, making three large
pieces, one of which was hurled through
the side of the calaboose. The carriage
was completely wrecked. No cauae for
the explosion can be given except that
the gun was old and rusty and the men
were using rife powder instead of the
coarse blasting powder generally used in
such guns. Fifteen shots had been fired
and it exploded on the sixteenth.

Now that Governor Morrill, has started
in to enforce the prohibitory law he
should have the encouragement of every
friend of law and order in the state,
Whatever doubts he may have had re-
garding his ability to control the lawless
element in the larger cities must have
been dispelled by the success of his
efforts in this direction in Atchison and
Wichita. The result of hia course re-
gsrding these cities proves that the GRIM
inaI element and their friends were
merely indulging in a game of bluff,
carried on with intent to deceive and
brighten the executive. What has been
accomplished in Atchison, Wichita and
Fl. Scott, can be accomplished in Leav-
enworth. In fact Col. Anthony has as
good as said that if the saloons of the
other cities of Kansas were closed and
kept closed, the law might be enforced
in Leavenworth- It will be greatly to
the governors credit if his administra-
ton shall go down in history as the first
to enforce all the laws in every part of
the state. He has now started right, and
with continuation of his present course
and the endorsement of the better class
of people, which is sure to be his, he
will succeed. But he must not let his
grip on the law breakers loosen.

ALL IN SILVER.
Mrs. Lease Gets $3.50 in Silver Dollars for
Two silver Speeches.

MIS- Lease Gets 8lOO In silver Dollars fer
Two silver Speeches.
When Mary Elizabeth Lease was in To-
peka recently she carried with her a hand
bag containing $50 nice shiny silver dol
lars, and this, according to her own
story, is how she happened to get them:
On July and she delivered speeches
before an encampment of old soldiers in
South Dakota. Both of the speeches
were to favor free silver, and at the con-
clusion of the last speech the committee
in charge walked to the platform and
counted out $3.50, all in silver dollars
The crowd cheered itself almost hoarse,
and Mira Lease told the committee that
they might bring her another car load
of the same sort of stuff But they didn't
She brought the money home with her
just as it was given.
During the month of August Mrs.
Lease has twenty dates for lectures in
Texas.

volume emptied into the lake by its tribu-
tary streams.
Similarly, some explorers fancy that
Hudson Bay is gradually filling up.
James Bay certainly is. The water is
shallow and the streams deposit sediment
which forms Il marsh that is encroaching
upon it in many places. But these are
only crude theories which may or may not
be correct
On the whole, the conclusion is that this
Northern region is not as rich in poten-
tialities as it has been described. 1t can
never amount to much, even with steam
ships sailing from Hudson Bay to Liver
pool The Dominion Government has not
subsidized a railroad to Hudson S Bay, but
only to the Saskatchewan River. $50 miles
from it, 1t would be useless to extend
the line to the bay The bay itself is open
for four or five months in the year, but
the exit from it into the North Atlantic.
Hudson Strait, is navigable after fash
ion for only three months, from the middle
of July to the middle of October, and dur
ING that brief season its mouth is con-
stantly bOmbarded by ice.
Moreover, even if the attractions were
far greater than they are, winter is winter
up there. 1t is too cold for the white
man. who has all he can do to live and
work at places no further north than the
Height Of Land, and finds that hugging a
hot stove for half the year in house
sealed against fresh air is quite as debili-
tatmg as being broiled under torrid sun.

More Fruit, Less Beer.
From the New York SIM

From the New York sun.
Few persons would imagine that the
supply of fruit would in any way affect the
sale Of beer, but the brewers know it.
One of the big brewers was speaking of
this recently. AS soon as there is a
plentiful supply Of peaches and such fruits
in the markets as there is this year, he
said, lit makes a difference to me of about
400 barrels of beer daily in my city sales.
You see, when person can buy peach
on the street and eat it, he will 90 for some
time afterward without being thirsty.
but it is not among the men that the
most important difference occurs 1t is in
the family where the pint trade lies.
When fruit is cheap and plentiful the
women will eat that and satisfy their long
ing for something to slake thirst instead of
sending out for pint of beer. The pint
trade uses up beer very rapidly, and this
is where we feel the difference in the fruit
season.

This stock is better than the ordinary mort
gage. because borrowers from the Association
pay interest and part of the principal monthly,
so that if the Association should have to fore
close it would not have TO get face value Of

1t hardly seems credible at first thought,

San Francisco practically the halfway town

THE OLD FRIENDS.

From The SDectdtor.
The old friends the old friends
We loved when we were young.
With sunshine on their faces
And music on their tongues!
The bees are in the almond flower
The birds renew their strain,
But the old friends, once lost To lis.
Can never come again.
The old friends, the old friends!
Their brow is lined with care;
They've furrows in the faded cheek
And silver in the hair.
But to me they are the old friends still,
In youth and bloom the same
As when we drove the flying ball
Or shouted in the game.
The old men, the old men,
How slow they creep along
How naughtily we scofed al them
In days when we were young!
Their pressing and their doing.
Their prate of times gone by
Their shiver like an an aspen leaf
Ifbut breath went by
BlI we, we are the Oltl IleH now
Our blood is faint and chill;
We cannot leap the mighty brook
Or climb the breaknecE hill.
We maunder down the shortest cuts.
We rest on stick or stile,
And the young men, half ashamed 10 laugh
Yet pass us with smile.
But the young men, the young men.
Their strength is fair to see
The straight back and the Springy stride.
The eye as falcon free,
The shout above the frolic wind
As up the hill they CO.
But though so high above us now
They soon shall be as low.
Oh, weary, weary drag the years
As life draws near the end.
And sadly, sadly fall the tears
For loss of love and friend.
But well not doubt there's good about
In all of human kind;
So here's health before we go
To those we leave behind.
