TAKE THE "STRIP."
Some Talk of Resisting Move

Topeka.

A meeting was held monday night at
NicHle Plate school house in 1.-THE
Strip for the purpose of signing re-
monstrance against The Strip being
taken into the city.
E. K. Felt made a speech objecting
to being taken into the city He moved
that a committee of three be appointed
with power to employ an attorney and
make a vigorous fight against being
taken into the city. E. K. Felt was
made chairman of the committee with
John Nygreen and L. Van Hook as the
other members. Mr.. Felt read a re-
nOnStrance and asked those present to
sign it. There are about eighty voters
in 1.-The Strip and about thirty-five
attended the meeting and twenty out
of that number signed the remon-

in the city today and thought l never
would get through. If that is the kind
of alleys they have, we don't want
any"
Those who object to being taken into
the city give as their reasons that taxes
will be double and that the school
board will move their school house from
its present location. They admit they
are reaping all the benefits of the city
without paying city taxes. The strip
has protection from the city fire de-
partment
All the people living there are not
opposed to being taken into the city.
Many favor being taken in and others
say they do not care, as taxes will be
about the same.
The high school privileges which the
people would have when taken into the
city. would, in many families. amount
to two or three times as much as the
increase in taxes.
The city now has the capacity to light
this suburb without much extra cost
and there is no reason why the people
who really live in the city should be
deprived of the benefit of one of the
best street lighting systems in the
world.
The people who live in 1.-The Strip"
which is a natural part of Topeka
should unite with the other citizens for
the upbuiIding of the most beautiful
and best city in Kansas.
Forward is the watchword.

NEEDED IMPROVEMENT.
City Railway Removes Dangerous
Tracks on Twelfth Street

The city railway is making much
needed Improvement in their tracks on
of Harrison. There We're formerly two
tracks, with double switch facilities
going to the fair grounds. in addition
to the regular line going out Twelfth
street. One branch line has been taken
up, and now only a single switch line
from the main track leads to the fair
grounds. This gives considerable more
room to the street for drive way, which
is needed as the street is none too wide.
This corner has always been a dan
gerOuS one to vehicles, on account of
the multitude of tracks and the mar
rOwness of the steeet, and numerous
accidents have occurred by the wheels
being caught and wrenched in the
curved rails. In addition to this i'm
provement, the entire track is being
relaid to Washburn college, besides
the numerous small repairs being made
on Kansas avenue and on East Fourth
street.

Attorney General GODDARD Talks
Of Suppression of KIOndike.
Things That Are In the Way
of Good Results.
PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
Says It Is In Favor Of the
Liquor Sellers.
g influential Citizens May Be
Injured by Closing Dens.

Attorney General GODDARD went to
Kansas City with Gov. Stanley last
night and had a conference with f. B.
Dawes concerning the fight to be made
against the Klondike district at Leav-
enwOrth. A Journal reporter today ask
ed Mr.. GODDARD what had been done. He
replied by saying that plans had been
made which were hoped to accomplish
good results. Discussing the Klondike
the attorney general said:
Il have been away for nearly FIVE
weeks, during which time I have had
nothing to do with the Klondike mat
ter. Since my return Governor stan
ley and have had a conference over
the situation, and plans are being de-
Ylsed under which we expect action viii
be taken. The task is a troublesome
one, and the obstacles in the way Of
success are great.
In the first place the sentiment Of
the people of Leavenworth county is
generally in favor of permitting the
sale of intoxicating liquors. There is a
considerable class of people in that
county who do not believe in furnishing
any one for selling Intoxicating Ii
quOrS, and who would, under no cir
cumStanceS, vote for the conviction Of
one charged with that crime if they
were on the jury trying him. At least
such is the information that comes to
me regarding the situation there.
The sentiment to which I refer may
affect the officers more or less in the
discharge of their duties, aud is liable
to seriously affect the jurieS called up
on to try these cases
THE persons doing business in the
klondike have friendly or business re-
lations with many people outside. In
fuential citizens of LeaVenWOrth cOun-
ty own property in or about the KIon-
dixie that will be injured by the de-
struction of the business done there.
Persons antagOnistic to the Republican
party, the state administration, or the
soldiers home at LeaVenWcrth, are LA
bic to wish to see the movement fail
The wholesale houses furnishing sup
plies sold at KlondiSe will be desirOus
of having the situation there remain
unchanged and will consequently bring
all of their influence to bear for the
purpose of attaining that result. 9th
ers will fear that a raid on the Klon-
dixie may mean a destruction of con-
ditiOnS which now. exist, and which al
ways have existed in the city of Leav-
enWOrth, and for that reason Will Op-
pose the action taken.
by reason of the foregoing do not
care to promise what shall be done, ex-
ton to accomplish good results actu-
ates both Governor Stanley and my
self. We prefer that we shall be judg-
ed by our actions after they have been
taken, rather than to make any promi-
ses now as to what we viii accomp-
iSh.'

GREELEY'S BARN BURNED.
Incendiary Fire at the Chappaqua
Farm.

New York. Aug. 22.-The barn on the
Horace Greeley estate at Chappaqua, N.
Y. was partly burned early this morn
ing. The blaze is believed to have been
the work of an incendiary. Rev. DR.. F.
NJ CIendenin, who is rector of St Pc
ter's church of West Chester, which
was burned last week. has been living
on the Greeley estate this summer.
When the church was burned DR.. Glen
denim was at Chappaqua and when the
barn was burned this morning he was
at West Chester. The burning of the
barn will be regarded as strengthening
the theory of incendiarism expressed by
DR.. Clendenin regarding the burning of
st. Peters.
DR.. CIendenin believes that st. Peters
was set on fire by some member of the
Broad church, party, who had become
bitter over the controversy that arose
when DR.. Clendenin protested against
the ordination of DR.. Briggs in st. Pee
ters.

AN EARLY ENDING
OF Philippine Trouble Predicted by
Prof Schurman.

Prof Schurman.
Ithaca, N. Y, Aug. 22.-Commissioner
Jacob G. Schurman has reached Ithaca.
Since leaving Manila he has. he says.
steadily refused to discuss Philippine
affairs, although he has been besieged
by reporters everywhere, Chicago re-
porters having gone as far west as the
Rocky mountains to interview him
However, he now makes the following
statement for the Associated Press:
First, the United States, having as
sumed sovereignty over the Philippine
islands by virtue of a treaty of peace
with Spain, the chief executive of the
republic is engaged in establishing that
sovereignty. The issue today is not
commercial one, although the natural
resources of the Philippines are of
great value and wait only American
capital for development Nor is the
question one of political expediency or
party politics, although in its collateral
branch there may be aspects upon
which political parties may properly
divide, but the question today is neith-
er one of commercial advantage nor of
partisan politics. 1t is a purely moral
question. The vital issue is the honor
of the nation, the protection of loyal
F'ilipinos, and the ful6llment of our OBJ
involved in our acceptance of sOver-
eighty.
Second, the means and agencies for
the accomplishment of this end must
be determined by the president, and it
is well to bear in mind that the presi-
dent understands the situation better
than any one else can possible do, mas
much as he is in receipt of information
from a variety of sources, civil and
military and has the judgment of ex-
perts upon the facts reported. 1 have
no doubt the president will soon effect
a solution of the Philippine problem
which will be entirely satisfactory to
the American people. To his states
manship and tried ability we may en-
trust the issue with perfect conf
