PUT ON MERCHANTS.
Committee of Fifteen Needs
More Business Men.
Merchants Give the Most Money
for the Festival.
Yet They Are Very Slightly Repre-
scented on the Committee-The
Festival Is Theirs, Let
Them Take Hold

The Committee of Fifteen needs some
wtde-awake merchants on the COM
mittee. D. J. Greenwald is the only
representative of the merchant class in
! the organization and he is one of the
most enthusiastic workers but there
should be more merchants. There are
now two vacancies in the committee and
they should by all means be filled with
merchants In other cities nearly the
entire committee in charge on annual
festivities are business men.
There are any number of merchants
in Topeka who would make excellent
members of the committee. They have
that business training which does not
neglect details. They know that when
a thing is undertaken it SHOULD be
pushed until it is completed. The mer-
chants may be reluctant to accept
places on the committee, but they ought
not to be. The Festival is largely for
the benefit of the merchants and it is
rather queer that the committee is not
largely composed of merchants
The Journal takes the liberty of sug-
costing a few names of men who would
be active members of the committee:
H. A. Auerbach of the Palace Clothing
company. 0. F. Sawyer of the Topeka
Cash Dry Goods company, w. 7. or
E. H Crosby of Crosby Bros, S. G.
Heyman of the Hub Clothing company.
D. 7. Paxton of Kemper & PaXtons,
D. A. Clements of the Clements COM
pany, Warren Crosby, M. Snattinger of
S. Barnum & Co, and dozens of others
all of whom would make excellent mem
bers.
In other cities teh wealthy business
men take the leading part in the annual
festivals and there is no reason why
they should not do so in Topeka They
should at least be given an opportunity.
Not only should they be given an OPP
pOrtunity; ahey should take it. The
Fall Festival is largely theirs; they give
the most money.
An effort to have a meeting of the
Committee of Fifteen last night was a
failure. Five members of the commit
tee were present and as there was no
quorum TO business was done. The
committee will make an effort to have
a special meeting Monday at $3.50 p. m.
as there is some business that requires
attention.

ALL FOR LEYEES.
They Insure Big Government Appro-
priations Every Year.

New York, June 26.-The Mississippi
river commission resumed its session IN
this city today. The first delegate to
address the body was J. NJ. Whitehall
of Arkansas City, Ark, representing
the Desha district. Mr.. Whitehall
merely pointed out the merits of the
le.vee system and asked for fair ap-
preparation for his district.
General J. H. Reynolds of Chico,
Ark, denied that there was any acri-
mOny or jealousy among the various
districts as to appropriations. He de-
clared that most of the levees were
makeshift affairs.
Murray Smith of Vicksburg stated
that Is miles from VicksbUrg north to-
ward Greenville there was a stretch of
riparian land unprotected by levees.
! When high water came this country
was inundated and the water backed
up until it reached the leVee locality
and there swept behind the levee and
undermined it. The same state of af-
fairs existed south of Vicksburg, near
the mouth of the Black river.
James Clinton of Natchez said it
would require $4,000 600 to put the I'M
protected districts in condition to de-
fend the Ievees. The people of his dis
trict had raised S120 900 to preserve the
levees, much of which was wasted on
account of the foundations of the land
without leVees.
W. P. Halliday, delegate from Ar
Kansas, said: Il venture to say that
the recent floods have clearly proven
SiAG 9ttSOGsS VI the general lQed OF our
IeVee system 1t is only where our
IeVees were imperfectly constructed
that they failed to afford protection
Under the constitution of the United
States" continued Mr.. Halliday, eve
are guaranteed protection of life and
property. Our great government has
never been mean and niggardly in any
period of its history, and no expendi-
ture, therefore, however great, should
be spared if our fertile lands can be
protected against any threatened peril.
If the work of your commission is
permitted to go on undisturbed for a
few years more and ample means are
placed at your disposal, the tale of woe
which was carried on the wires durfne,
the recent floods will have been heard
for the last time"

Sculptors are Angrv

New York, June 26.-Charles F. Nc
Kim, the architect, has not only brought
a nest of puritanical hornets about his
head by his efforts to find home for
Macmonnies' statue of the Bacchante
either in Boston or New York, but he
has now incurred the deadly hatred Of
a body of American scuIptOrs. They
announce themselves as determined to
fight to the bitter end against the pre-
sent monopoly by architects of the pri-
vilege of selecting statues for public
buildings. Mr.. McKim has been made
the objective mark by these irate artists
because at the present time he affords
an excellent example of the system
against which they intend to- war.

REVIEWED BY PROXY.
The Prince of Wales Represents the
Queen at the Naval Review.

Ryde, Isle of Wight, June 26.-The
honorary admiral of the fleet his royal
highness, the Prince of Wales has just
concluded on behalf of the sovereign of
the realm the review of ships gathered
in her honor.
The naval craft present flew about
200 pennants.
The decorations of the shipping hitch
pOtch were as variegated as the crafts
they adorned. The stately liners were
trimmed with a near approach to what
is possible in ships and the long string
of flags from stem to taffraiI showed up
very effectively against the morning
sky. The smart yachts were daintily
bef1agged but not much could be said
for the rest.
At o'clock on a signal from the Re
nOwn, Admiral Sir Howell Salmon's
flag ship, there broke out on every war
vessel a perfect eruption of color. Each
ship spread every stitch of bunting it
possessed. streamers from every spar
and rainbOws over all.
The Prince of Wales accompanied by
Admiral H r. H, the Duke of Sake
COburg and GOtha and Captain, H. R.
H, the Duke of York, the Princess of
suites, arrived at Portsmouth al one
o'clock. The party Immediately pro-
ceeded on board the Royal Yacht Vic

The rules governing the tournament
have been changed almost daily, at the

the interest of the promoters of the
