Although there was only one day Of
the FAN Festival this year, it was made
a glorious one today. 1t is easy to see
where the hearts of the people of Tope-
ka and of Kansas are. They are with
the Fall Festival and the general feel
ing unanimously expressed is that the
Topeka, Fan Festivals must be restored
to their pristine glory. The display of
beauty in design and color appeals to
the human eye and intelligence in a
way that nothing else can. 1t is useless,
and to no purpose to crush the FAN
Festival into one day and it ought new
er to be done again. It should be given
three days. and a fixed sum should be
determined on each year and properly
apportiOned among the citizens so that
none will bear an undue burden. To-
days procession, with the triurnphal
progress through the city of the Queen
of the Carnival, Miss Anna Rose of
Hilo, Hawaii. was a splendid sight and

any headway on the sidewalks tt was
known that the parade would not take
place until afternoon but the people
were anxious to have a good position so
that 10 part Of the spectacle would be
lost to them.
There was no doubt about the crowd
being large. It was big enough to sat
isfy even the man who spends his time
complaining because things are not up
to expectations.
