SHAW JOKES VICTIM.
Secretary of the Treasury Besieged
 for Small Loans.

Secretary of the Treasury Besieged
 for Small Loans.
 WASHINGIC1, oct. 21. = Several newspapers recently have published paragraphs similar to the following:
 .'Persons who don't know that pros- perity is here are looking askance at the action of Secretary of the Treasury Shaw in coming to the relief of Wall street This is ridiculous. That's just what good old Uncle Sam is here for, to help the deserving. Anybody who is short and wants $4 to tide him over until next pay day can get it by ad- dressing MT. Shaw, treasury building, Washington. It is strange that this is not more generally known"
 That the paragraph has been taken seriously is illustrated by the number Of letters that have been received by the treasury department. Two which have just come in are given below, the signers' names being withheld for ob- vious reasons:
 MT. Shaw:
 Dear Sir-I saw in last nights pa- per that you would help the deserving. I am not in the habit of asking any one for help, but have been sick for a week and not able to work. My rent is due next week, and if have not got it they will put me out on the street, and don't know what to do. My rent is $10 month, and have not got a cent toward getting it, but if you will help me just $4 l will try to borrow the rest, although my friends are all poor too. You will be doing kind act in- deed if you will help me, a woman in trouble"
 The second letter, like the first given, is dated St. Louis, Oct. IS. It reads:
 ''Mr Shawl saw in the papers last night that you would help the needy r poor. am a widow and have one lit tie girl, and have got to pay $5 in a home here to have her kept, and l have got behind. Last month the ma tron said she would not let it run any longer. would have to take her out, and have no place to keep her. am working in a private family and get only small wages. If you would send me just little money, it would help me ever so much. will appreciate your kindness very much. ! want to pay my little girls board"

They are the ablest men the coal bar barons, meat trusts, and other com- binations of capital have been able to get hold of, so that no one need be surprised if they put up stiff argu- ment. But we've had the party in control for some years past unfettered by the influence of their opponents. and it requires no wonderful mind to see what they have reduced us to-. This is what people should be guided by and not what the paid agents of the party may say. By their fruits ye shall know them" can be applied to the republicans at the coming elec- tion with very damaging effect

No other shortstop in the league is

season. His fielding average is not so
good as his competitors. but when it Is
taken into consideration that Tinker

he started in as a Cub, his record Is
remarkable.

THAT OLD PILE BRIDGE.
A n. Baird Makes a Suggestion - A
Superstition.

To the Editor of the State Journal
Regarding the pile bridge. connecting
North and South Topeka, and used by
the City Railway company for street car
service, yet, at the same time, not wish
ing to dictate to the railway company
what they should do, or likewise to the
tax payers of the city and county, but
will say as an Individual. that a pile
bridge, such as the one referred to
should not be allowed to dam the Kaw
river at this point
1t is not alone dangerous and likely to
damage hundreds of thousands of dol
lars worth of property at a high water
period, but the life of such structure
Is very uncertain, and should a calamity
occur, who would pay the bills?
. A suggestion: Should all parties in
terested, be. willing to allow single
track car service across the center of
roadway of the Melan bridge, and for
such franchise, the Street Car company
would take up the sidewalks on said
Melan bridge, and throw the entire
width of bridge into street service; the
Street Car company likewise building
two (2) new architectural iron walks on
the outside. fastening them to the
bridge proper This method would then
protect foot passengers from the road
way, unlike that which now exists and
would dispense with that undesirable
relic. ''the old pile bridge

THE RECIPROCITY DEAL.
More Light on Much Discussed
Subject.

A New York paper, the Great Round
World, publishes the following:
The true cause of the defeat OF the
Cuban reciprocity plan has at last come
to light There are gaps to be filled IN
the story and some inference is neceS-
sary, but strong Republican journals
are admitting the extreme probability
of the disgraceful supposition. And the
Democrats have little to say for them
selves, inasmuch as, instead of forcing
straight issue on reciprocity, they
encouraged the Republican dissensions
in the short-sighted hope of Democratic
gain.
Senator Burton of Kansas was a
strong opponent of reciprocity. HIS
the issue, so he eleAiined his position
in speech delivered since the adjourn
ment of congress. He said: 1T is a
discussion between Republicans, ana
Democrats. I deny that the beet sugar
senators were in the minority. If any
one says anything else he falsifies. IL
80 Republican senators had come to US
and said, We are going to pass that
BILL they could have done SO. They
never came to us with such declara-
ton. On the other hand, they came and
encouraged us to keep up the fight.
There are not 15 Republican senators
out of the 54 who are in favor of the
present bill at heart. Beet sugar is a
Republican question by authority"
Consider what this admission n cans.
1t states plainly that the administra-
ton was deceived by its professed sup
boasting to their constituents that a
liberal reciprocity measure will be
passed at the next session of congress.
Why are the same men who lately Op-
posed reciprocity ready to vote for it
at the next session? The following ex-
PLANTATION is taken from the Washing

not yet been accounted for, will be used
to purchase bankrupt sugar estates in
Cuba. The beet sugar trust, which has
passed into the virtual control of the

the by-products OF the beet root, may

the struggle to bring the republic of

THAT HOMELESS GIRL.
Police Matron Thorpe Explains Why
She Was Sent to Beioit.

Police Matron Thorpe has made the
following statement regarding Ethel
May Morgan, the waif who will be sent
to Beloit to the industrial school:
There were at least 10 homes offered
the child, but as she herself-and also a
letter from her aged grandn other testi-
fied-she could not content herself to
settle down. She had wandered over
the country so long and had been prais-
ed and fattered until she realized her
own discomfort and asked to be placed
under the discipline of an institution.
She was too old for the Soldiers Or
phans' home, and both the ladies of
the orphans home and Mr.. Bois of the
Children's Home society believed she
would best be able to overcome the
wandering habit by going to the indus
trial school. She was by no means
overworked in the home to which I
sent her on Topeka avenue, but slipped
away from them, engaging to go with d
company of unknown men of Wallace
show. Her grandmother wrote to have
her sent to the industrial school even
before we asked her.
