MAY Be A SMOKER.
Talk of Abandoning the Kansas
Day Club Banquet.

The proposition as to whether or not
the Kansas Day club shall have an old
time banquet is still undecided. Secre-
tary Valentine expects G. s. Finch, preSi
dent of the club, to come up from Law
renee this afternoon to talk the matter
over. The banquet idea had been almost
agreed upon, but Secretary Valentine has
not yet found a caterer who will put up
the kind of a banquet the club would
want for the price it has been accustomed
to paying The fact that the gathering
will be held in Representative hall in
stead of in some hotel makes the giving
of an elaborate banquet much more diff
cult than heretofore, and the caterers
who have thus far been consulted want
such a banquet, and it takes a fee of
dental expenses of the club aside from
the banquet
The officers are now considering the
much informality possible Into it.
The chairs would be placed irregularly in
Representative hall and the speakers al
lowed to sit wherever they please. Good
music could be made one of the features.
and coffee and sandwiches could be served
in the chief clerks room to all who de-
sired them.
1t is all a question as to what will be
most popular with the rank and file of
the club. Some of the members have
been in favor of doing away with the
elaborate banquet idea for several years
but there are g. lot of others who always
like to eat when they go to an affair OF
that character.

That kind of currency known as Sher-
man notes will soon be wiped out by the
retirement process, and the country will
have one less kind of money We are
told by the director of the mint in his
annual report that the Sherman notes
are in process OF rapid extinction. Dur
ang the year the amount of bullion pur
chased under the Sherman law has de-
creased from SO. 26S, 054 ounces to 81. $751;
e2S. the difference representing the
amount that has been coined into silver
dollars. AS the director says, the coin
age Of this bullion has been accelerated
in order that the treasury might be
able to retire the treasury notes issued
in its purchase. So the silver dollars
have taken the place of the notes. And
the process of redemption is still going
on There is enough bullion hand to
retire them all. with a margin suffi-
Gent to allow The coming of about $780,
100000 of subsidiary COIN The director
OF the mint suggests that when the
notes are redeemed it would be we'll
to give over coming silver dollars alto
gether, to raise the limit of subsidiary
currency from $10e, 600, 900 to 1920 600. 900.
and to use the balance of the bullion
purchased under the Sherman act for
subsidiary purposes.

Mr.. Brigham was to have spoken be-
fore the members of the Kansas City
Mercantile cluub next Monday night in
reference to the exposition. He received
letter this morning asking him to
postpone the visit one week AZ a num-
Der of urgent matters would occupy the
time of the club next Monday night. In
reply he stated that he would agree to
any arrangement that was made but
impressed them with the fact that one
more week will see practically all of the
booth space disposed of and at least all
of the valuable spaces.
The three-coloH window posters be-
ing prepared for the exposition by AL
bert T. Reid, will be ready next week
and will be distributed broadcast
throughout the state.
The prospects for the exposition and
its successful termination are growing
brighter every day.
The prospectus sent out by Manager
Brigham this week is meeting with gen
erous praise by the recipients and the
press of the state. 1t is an excellent
work geographically and is a testimon-
ial to the excellence of Topeka print
ing houses.
A meeting of the board of directors of
the exposition is called for Friday af
ternoon at the Commercial club.

WANT JOHN MACDONALD
His Friends Would Make Him
State Superintendent.

There is a quiet movement on foot
among the friends of John Macdonald
to secure for him the nomination on the
Republican ticket next year for state
superintendent of public instruction.
Mr.. Macdonald is one of the foremost
educators in the west, and although he
is not considered a politician, he seems
to be *'in the hands of his friends The
friends have a neat scheme by which
they expect to secure for Mr.. MacDOn-
aid the nomination and also a represen-
tation of the First district on the state
ticket. 1t is figured by Mr.. MacDonald's
friends that Superintendent of Public
Instruction Frank Nelson can not Sc
cure the denomination for a third term
for two reasons. One that the third
term idea will not be popular, and also
because he lives in the Seventh dis
trict, and the Seventh has more than
it's share Of candidates in the field, and
will undoubtedly receive at least its
share of places on the ticket without the
denomination IF Mr.. Nelson.
The nomination of a superintendent
of public instruction is far down on the
list. and the state convention will have
settled most of the holly contested nom
nations by the time that office is
reached. The supporters of Mr. Mac
Donald figure that none of the avowed
candidates from Shawnee county and
the First district will be successful, and
that when the office of superintendent
is reached it can be secured for Mr..
Macdonald by his being nominated.
With reference to his reported cand1-
dacy Mr.. Macdonald said this after
noon:
IT do not want it understood that I am
a candidate in the sense that I would
scramble for the office, for l positively
VIII not. Every year I receive more or
less letters from people over the state
urging me to become a candidate. but |
made this same answer to them ALL
will not scramble for the place If it
could come to me spontaneously / would,
of course, appreciate it. to round out my
work of 90 years in the public schools of
Kansas, but things do not go that way
in politics. The politicians come in and
make states and they figure on locality
and other things. For that reason I am
not a candidate and do not want to be
so considered

REFLECTIONS OF = BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
The only thing girl minds about be-
ing engaged several times is that it
gives her a reputation of getting old.
When man is known to be so good
that he doesn't need watching, woman
doesn't take a second look at him.
When a woman knows her husband
deserves to be punished, she thinks any
one who tries to do it except herself de-
serves a worse punishment.
When a married woman in a play
gets tangled up in a scandal all the
wives in the audience wait patiently
for the last act when she explains it
all away; but when it's a man they
know he's guilty before the first slow
music stops.
