PROVIDE MORE SEATS.
Capacity of Auditorium Increas-
ed by Adding 800 Chairs.

Topeka people will probably have a
chance to pick over $50 or more addi-
tional seats in the Auditorium for Nor
dica. After much close calculating the
management of the concert has ar
ranged for 1863 additional seats in the
building. and is now occupied with fill
ing cut few remaining orders from out
OF town. These will be scattered over
the building. An extra row of seats has
been run about the top of the balcony
and chairs in the aisles upstairs and
down make up the rest.
The out of town orders on hand will
not aggregate more than fifty. so that
the other 300 can be had in town The
rapidity with whieh the opening sale
used up the first seats indicates that the
few additions will not last long. Major

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The President's call ID ode.

Cleveland Plaindealer.
President Roosevelt has given our
military and naval officers to under
stand that they are to stop talking in
general, and in particular are to pre-
serve discreet If painful silence con-
corning the present and prospective re-
lations between this country and Ger
many. He has issued q general call 10
order for which most people of the
country VIII be profoundly grateful.
German batting by the navy may be
expected to cease hencelorth, but there
is no reason why the order should be
restricted to prohibition of offending
Germany The laxative warriors in
both services should be reminded that
it is unwise and upmannerly needlessly
to give 0ffense to any nation That this
warning should have been deemed nee
essary Is reflection upon the disci-
pline of both the army and navy.
This German batting" began in the
navy and quickly spread to both houses
of congress and the press of the cOun-
try. 1t is mischievous and wholly in
defensible, and naturally embarrassing
to the president ana his associates who
have to bear the brunt of 1t. The presi-
dent knows, what many politicians ana
editors seem to forget. that Germany is
the one nation of Europe that has of
late repeatedly gone out of her way in
an attempt to WIN the good win of the
United States. That she is actuated by
Interior motives is as yet only a sus-
picion and a somewhat unworthy one.
It might be we'll for all Americans 10
take to heart the presidents rebuke to
the army and navy. Buster does not
become a great people and a big maa
looks small with a chip on his shoulder.
A general hush and call to order Will be
most welcome.

What is ordinarily the wettest season
of the year in Kansas is about here and
the good roads idea ought to grow and
thrive and expand during the next sixty
days.
The leaven Of road improvement
seems to be working in all parts of the
United States. An eastern man who
has recently taken trip through Texas
says the enthusiasm with which the
people have taken up the good roads
idea" is wonderful In some counties
they are in danger Of going wild" on
the subject Funds are being raised
mainly by issue Of county bonds.
Another observing person says that in
Pennsylvania the state aid idea has
taken firm hold The plan just adopted
IS for the state. the county and the
township to cooperate in the work of
building and improving the roads The
state is to pay twO-thirds of the ex-
pense and the county and township in
which the work is done each one-sixth
of the expense. The state has made
available for this purpose 81. 500, 900 to be
expended during the next few years.
The principle involved in the state aid
plan is exactly the same as that in
volved in the scheme for national aid.
which has developed such popularity re-
Gently. The fundamental idea of both
is as set forth by General Miles at St
Louis, that road improvement is not
merely matter Of local interest and
responsibility but a matter of interest
and concern to the whole people; or. to
put it another way, road building is
coming to be viewed as species OF
internal Improvement" belonging in
the same class as river and harbor i'm
provemeuts.

ROOSEVELT AND CLEVELAND

The meeting Of President Roosevelt
and former President Cleveland on the
same platform at ST. Louis. and the
possibility that they be rival candi-
dates for the presidency next year. has
served to direct public attention to the
difference between the two men, The
Tacoma Ledger expresses itself as fol-
lows;
President Roosevelt has made many
speeches of late, and all of them have
been practical. They befit the moment
and the place. Whether he is address
Ing the miners, the people of the stock
belt, the farmers or the residents o.
the cities, he has something to say
which they appreciate peculiarly His
address at St Louis was an example
Of this. In every word Of it there was
the personality Of the man He had
thought it out and written it out III
was the work OF his active mind.
To be conrasted with this was the
speech of Mr.. Cleveland. This was able
enough. 1t showed that attention had
been paid to the information stored in
the cyciOpedia. 1t was not barren Of
facts, but they We're the dry facts that
might have been compiled by clerk
and probably were Any reader could
be certain from his own knowledge OF
what was coming next The difference
in the addresses was simply the differ

grasp the situation. Cleveland is an
echo. He has been the author of state
papers that Will be remembered, but his

THE LADY AND HER DOGS.

Words, Men of Chivalry.

Atlantic City. May 6.-Miss Virginia
Laurenson asks $4,000 damages of the
Chesapeake and Atlantic Railroad com
pany because employees on the COM
pany's steamer took her pet pugs from
the saloon deck to a lower part of the
steamer while she was on her way
from Claiborn to Baltimore. >
Charles K. Newman saw the incident
and attorneys took his testimony here.
He says the purser politely told her the
rules of the company about dogs. Miss
Laurenson said her pugs would have to
be taken from her by force. The purser
ordered two men to do it.
Miss Laurenson, he said. struck one
of them in the face with her fist, and
said, referring to the men who wit
messed the struggle and did not inter-
fere: There are other dogs on the

Seattle times The hobnobbing at St
Louis on Wednesday of President
Roosevelt and his only living predeces-
sor was a conspicuous merging of the
past and the present. and must have
been full of "reminiscences to both OF
these distinguished personages. 1t also
suggests the great changes that can
take place in the life of an individual
in this country when he has the ability
and the tact to take advantage of OPP
portunities as they are offered. Twenty
years ago Mr.. Cleveland was Democrat
lie governor of New York, and Mr..
Roosevelt was a Republican member of
the lower house of the legislature. They
were then bosom friends, for Roosevelt
was a kicker" against the corrupt
practices of his party machine, Since
then Cleveland has been president
twice; Roosevelt has been governor of
New York and is now president.
