WE "BROKE THE SHELL"
What Capt. Phillips Says the Fall
Festival Did for Topeka

Many people have wondered why there
has been such a building boom in To-
peka. The question has been solved by
didate for county treasurer. In CONVEX
sation with a Journal reporter he said:
1T is a singular fact that the revival
in building in Topeka commenced when
the Fall Festival last year ended. I be-
lieve much as I believe anything that
the Fall Festival is responsible for this
condition.
People came to Topeka from all over
Kansas. They saw a city with well-kept
streets, beautiful homes and fine lawns
and they said nice things about US and
fore the Festival last fall the streets were
kept clean and they have been kept clean
ever since, the weeds were cut in the al
leys and parks and they have been kept
down since that time
People begin to 'slickup' as they say.
Now houses have been painted and many
improvements are being made every day.
People who have money have decided
that it will be a good plan to spend it in
improving the city by the erection of new
buildings and improving their places.
Il think it is safe to say that there is
not a laboring man in Topeka now who
wants to work who can not find employ
ment. Labor is employed and it seems
to me Topeka is in much better shape
than for long time.
'tAnd it is all because we broke the shell
last year and held a FAN Festival

London, July 2S.-The Pail Mall Gazette
commenting on the Hawaiian situation,
says: 1--WE have said from the first that
it is no concern of Great Britain, whether
the United States anneXes Hawaii not.
but Japans protest should give the Amer
lean jingoes something to think about.
1t remains to be seen whether American
opinion will ratify the annexation policy.
If it does. the matter will become i'm

a any rate President Mckinley will think
twice before inviting the Japanese navy
to do the mischief it undoubtedly could"
The Globe after referring te the
cynical insolence of the American min
lister says: Should it be our misfortune
to engage in a quarrel with kin be-
yond the sea, must seize Hawaii inn
mediately, but the state of things against
which it is necessary to take precautions
now is the by no means remote contingent
cy of a war between the United States
and a European power able to take Ha-

point of great Importance aginst our
selves. If Japan abdicates, or commutes

country to interfere even at the risk of

RAISING TEAcBERs'sTANDARD
Superintendent Stryker Defends His
"Hard" Questions.

The teachers of Kansas have made
big howl on account of the catchy and
severe questions propounded by State
superintendent Stryker. In speaking
about the criticism today he said:
THE teacher who complains of those
questions is not a fit person to have
charge of a school room. 1t gives him
away completely. There are in Kansas
now two teachers to every school and
as a consequence wages are very low.
The better class of teachers ask that
they be protected through examinations
more severe than the old ones. The
state board decided that it was a good
suggestion, and is now endeavoring to
follow it out.
The questions propOunded the last
time were taken from the course of
study of the Institutes just prior to the
examination and if the teachers could
not remember what they learned at the
institutes they have no right in school
room. The state board intends to raise
the standard of teachers in Kansas. 1t
will not let an incompetent teacher be
employed if it can help it, For this
reason the questions propounded last
and to be propounded at the examina-
lions in the future will be out of the
binary. Good teachers are not COM
planning about the examinations"

VOTE ON TEXT BOOKS.
Question of District Ownership Will
Be Decided at the Annual
Maatinrs

The annual meetings of the various
school districts in Kansas will be held
next Thursday, and at that time a large
number of the districts will vote on the
proposition of district ownership of text
books. The new text book law makes
district ownership optional. In case
the voters decide upon it by a majority
vote, then the district officers will levy
tax for the purchase of books. The
books are to belong to the district and
the teacher is made special custodian.
1t is his duty to see that the pupils take
proper care of the books and when the
term of school is out he must gather up
the books and make an accounting to
the board He will be required to ac-
count for every book issued to him at
the beginning of the term, and to pay
for those lost.
superintendent Stryker says he is
gratif1ed to learn that so many districts
are considering district ownership. He
has received letters from more than 80
county superintendent in which they
say that they have recommended it and
believe that it will carry. Under the
law each district has the right to vote 2
mills for school purposes. In nearly
every instance this amount is levied
and the state superintendent saws that
by economical management of the
funds enough can be saved to buy all
the books without any additional levy

NEW YORK THE MODEL.
The Postoff1ce of Greater New York
to Be Made Pattern.

Washington, July 2S.-The postmaster
general has designated a commission con-
sisting of Division Superintendent Pepper
of the railway mail service, at Cleveland,
O., Superintendent of Mails Montgomery
of Chicago postoffice and Postoffice In
spector Baird of Chattanooga, Tenn, to
make an investigation and report the
office of superintendent of mails at New
York. The inquiry has connection
with the personality of that office, but it
is to be made with the view of making
the place a model one The idea is to
make a thorough inquiry to the office
and all matters connected with it, the du-
ties of the superintendent and his
ployes, methods of distribution and des-
patch of mails. etc. The members of the
commission We're here today and had a
long conference with Second Assistant
Postmaster Shellenberger. The work will
be undertaken soon.

1t Will Probably Go Back to the
Fourth National Bank of
New York.

1t is stated at the office of the treas
urer of the state that within in short
time the state fiscal agency in New
York will be changed. The matter has
been under consideration by the execu-
tive council FOR some time and IL is
pretty generally understood by state Of
ficers that a change will be made prob
ably a t the next meeting of the execu-
tive council. The present fiscal agent
is the National Bank of the Republic
of New York city. The contract with
this bank was made by the Morrill ad-
ministration two years ago, it sup
which it is believed will again be given
the contract.
While there is a financial difference
due to the fact that the state now pays
its fiscal agent one-eighth of one per
cent ON the money it handles and other
banks have offered a slight interest on
daily balances, there is another and
more important reason which appeals
more directly to the Populist heart. The
president of the National Bank of the
Republic is an ardent Republican and
single gold standard man, who in the
recent campaign was exceedingly act
i've for Mckinley. He did not cOnfine
his activity to fighting for his own
party, but took occasion more than once
to thoroughly roast the POpulists and
free silver Democrats.
Once during the campaign he gave
an interview in which he characterized
the Populists as little better than fools
and said other uncomplimentary things
calculated to- rouse them to a high
pitch of wrath The Populists in power
in Kansas today have not forgotten his
words nor will they soon forget them1

MAJOR HANDY'S JOB.
He Will Represent Uncle Sam at
Paris in 1900.

Washington, July 2S.-The president has
appointed Moses P. Handy of Illinois,
special commissioner of the United States
to the Paris International exposition of
1900. The house of representatives failed
to pass the senate bill providing for five
commissioners Zone of their number to
be commissioner generaD and an appro-
priation of $500. 900.
The deficiency BILL however, which pass
ed both houses, accepted Frances invita-
ton and authorized the president to ap-
point a special commissioner to visit
Paris, secure space and make general ar
rangements for the American exhibit. An
appropriation of $4,000 was made to de-
fray the expenses of this commissioner
ship. The appointment does not require
confirmation by the senate.
