A SUGGESTION.
From a Friend of Topeka For the
Next Fall Festival
To the Editor of the State Journal:

To the Editor of the State Journal:
Burlingame, Feb. %.
desire to speak a few words
about your next Fall Festival.
see by your paper the COM
mittee has asked Topeka for ideas. But
has it ever occurred to you, that you,
as a. people. are very selfish?
Topeka belongs to the state of Kan
sas and it's certainly the small towns
that keep it, and the people of these
towns should have a voice in the next
festival or you should get them interest
ed if you want the festival a success.
I have attended all your entertain
ments, and while the first two were a
success, last year was not
The Honolulu Queen" was a very
lovely lady and while having her for
your queen, left an everlasting spot of
friendship in the hearts of her people,
it didn't satisfy the geenral public and
they must have something entirely
new.
Now I hardly feel capable of making
suggestion, still have a faint idea
in my mind that might please some.
Let each county furnish her own
queen and float and offer a prize to the
deserving ones.
Topeka could have something in the
way of fine concert, play or blue
blOoded horses and have Derby day"
on a small scale for the younger Wis
itOrs.
We mustn't forget the older backbone
of our state and give something sub
stantia1 for their eyes and mind to feast
upon.
If the ''waterworks' question is de-
ctded in favor of the people, we can all
come home with our minds full of fond
recoIlections instead of eyes and lungs
full of dust.
I do not intend this as a Topeka
roast" for am a Kansas freak myself,
but it's a fact, for I meet a great many
people and know what they think
1 know yours is a paper that speaks
its mind (Which every city needs) or
would not show my presumption in ad-
dressing you. A READER.
