1t has been commonly accepted as
a fact that no person will attempt to
commit suicide when in his right
mind. Affirmatively, then, the in
dividual who commits suicide or at
tempts it and for any cause fails to
kill himself is, at least, for the time,
in a state of insanity. The fact that
few who attempt suicide and fail in
their intention ever make second
attempt seems to confirm this theory

Because New York City gave a

Democrats confess to believe their
party can carry the state next fall.
New York City always goes Demo

great as that given at the election

score of years has the state given its
electoral vote to the Democratic

Reed Smoot will likely hold his
seat as senator from Utah. Efforts
are being made to have the Senate
refuse him the privilege of represent
ing Utah in that body, on the al
legged ground that he is polygamist
and has taken an oath that precludes
his loyalty to the government.
Senator Smoot probably knows as
much about the facts as his accusers
and he says he has never had but
one wife and has taken no oath
derogatory to the performance OF
his duty as United States senator.

TIE SITUATION.

While the calamity which has be-
fallen Topeka is the greatest in the
history Of the city. it is devoid of much
of the horror which at first seemed to
attend it.
When the flames from the burning
lumber yards and from a few houses
were reflected on the sky Saturday
night across the almost impossible
Kansas river. it was thought that the
entire north portion Of the city was In
Hames. It. was even estimated that 155
people had been burned. So far as
known now no life was destroyed by
fire. no business houses were burned
and the fire was practically confined as
above stated.
The known list Of dead is less than
twenty-five. and while there are many
wild rumors the conservative feeling is
that the list of drowned may be con-
fined TO less than fifty.
The property damage is enormous.
The north side under water to the ex-
tent of from six to ten feet for three
days or more gives a food situation
whose results from damage by water
are TO a large extent problematic.
While the loss to life is dreadful as
st is, it is far beneath the number at
first feared. The damage to buildings
and merchandise and household goods
will be enormous. exceeding a million
dollars.
The disaster to the city has brought
forth innumerable instances of heroism
and bravery. There has been no lack
Of helpers for every emergency. Volun-
teers in the rescue work have far ex-
ceeded the demand.
Topeka has already contributed
fund Of $4,000 for the sufferers, and IS
ready to aid the small towns in the
state where assistance is needed. The
capital city of Kansas is not asking I'M
sss tsissiSis
st Is able to take care OF its own SUIT
ferers.
kilograms have been received from
every quarter extending sympathy and
financial assistance. Great work is
ahead for the committees to provide
homes and places of habitation for the
North Topeka people who will be unable
10 live in their houses for several weeks.
The necessary work of sanitation and
for the care of the North Topeka needy
will entail large sums of money, but il
is believed the Topeka people will be
equal 20 this and to all the demands
upon her. The words of sympathy and
offers of financial assistance from
everywhere in and out of the state are
most warmly appreciated and will al
ways have a place in the memory near
est the heart.

COULD NOT DO 1T.
Cable Scheme to Fire Station
unavoidable.

(From Yesterdays Last Edition)
A squad of iremen went to North To-
pelSa this morning. equipped with 1.400
feet of braided rope, Pompier belts, and
q grim determination to stretch a cable
from ona end OF Kansas avenue to the
oSnef So tnat barges could be run to
take people out of the North Topeka
fire station. The plan was for them to
hitch their Pompier belts to the trolley
their line down the avenue. When they
reached the end of the Melan bridge
they found that a dozen of the trolley
poles had entirely disappeared and the
scheme was thus rendered impracti-
ca BILE.
1t is likely that within a short time the
water viii be low enough to permit
people to wade from one end of the
avenue to the other.

official register would be of great as
