PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
COMING TO HAYS CITY.

One wonderful and pleasing
thing of President Roosevelt is his
independence, He showed it in
bis work in N. Y city; and as a
Governor; and as President, Pol.
iticians detest his work; the great
plain people admire him. He at
no time will take sides in the fac
tional fights in states but seeks to
harmonic. In the south he may
select negro, If competent. At
times he has selected a democrat.
In his trip thro' Kansas he has
again shown his independence.
Bailey and Leland would have
liked to have escorted his trip thro'
Kansas. Oh, no. He invites both
senators Burton & Long to ac-
company him in his special train.
He goes to Topeka as guest OF
the Y NJ. G. A. to lay a corner
stone, and they expected to dine
him at the Copeland. Gov Bal
ley wanted him for dinner. Rose
welt would offend nor favor either,
so wired "He would dine in his
own car with his guests.
His very first request was that
his Sunday IN Kansas should be q
perfect rest, a good time by him
self, with the guests on his train
He arranged to stay at Sharon
Springs, and instead of keeping ii
quiet editor Ward went to Topeka
and special trains announced, an
immense crowd provided for, and
when Roosevelt heard of it he objec
ted 20 he and his guests being
used as circus menagerie and can
celled the date there and the train
will stop elsewhere.
Our town was elated on Sunday
over the news that President Ted
dY Roosevelt was gong to stop al

W. '. TURNER RESIGNS.
Air Brake Instructor for Santa Fe to
Work for Westinghouse.

w Y. Turner. superintendent of air
brake instruction for the Santa Fe, has
secured a good position with the West
i2ghouse Air Brake company and has
Severed his connection with the Santa
F'e. His resignation is effective June -
Mr. Turner is one of the most in
geniOus young men in the employ OF
the mechanical department of the Santa
Fe, and his exceptional talent for that
class of work was thoroughly appreci-
ated by his employers. He is thought
well of by all Of the ofilcials, and one
of them said yesterday that the Santa
F'e lost a good man when they lost Mr.
Turner He understood his business
thoroughly and was the inventor of
many devices which were of value 10
the company. 1t is understood that sew
eral of his patents are to be used b.
the Westinghouse people, and this ac
counts for his sudden change of posi-
ton. which was unexpected and came
as a surprise to most of his friends.
During the latter years of Mr.. Tur
ner's connection with the Santa Fe he
has had charge of the air brake in
struction car and made regular tours
of the line imparting his knowledge of
this peculiar class of machinery to
those employees of the company who
were also connected with this depart
ment. He has been in Topeka many
times and became well known here
1t is not known who will succeed Mr.
Turner. but it is understood that for
the present 7. NJ Lewis, of the New
Mexico division, is to have charge Of
the car. In this connection it is stated
that the Santa Fe is to shortly put an
other instruction car on the road. The
work viii be divided up between the
two cars, and the work of those in
charge of the cars will be lightened
considera biz
The car which has been in charge of
Mr. Turner was in Argentine at the
time of the flood, and it is stated that
it Will have to be repaired extensively
before il is again nut in sarvice
