HAS Fifteen BALES
FIeecy Staple is Coming at Rapid
Rate Now.

Sunshine is making cotton and the
recent fine weather is bringing the
feecy bales to Americus. Fifteen bales
now make up our stock in trade here,
thirteen arriving here yesterday.
But Americus will get two hundred
bales this week, or more.
Sunshine during the past four or
five Gays is causing the cotton to open
rapidly, and picking is now the order
of the day on several plantations near
AmerIcus.
The arrival yesterday morning of a
dozen or more big bales created some
thing of a stir in warehouse circles.
Buyers fondled the feecy lovingly,
and good prices are paid for all cotton
offered.
Ten cents is an average price paid
here, though fine cotton will bring
.104 cents.
But for the recent wet spell Amerl-
Gus would have had 800 bales already,
but the feecv tide is new being turned
this way.

HER RECORD AS A TRAVELLER
Americus Lady Makes Numerous
Trips North.

Mrs. NJ. T. Elan left last night for
Asbury Park, n. j., and after a rest
there will go to New York to purchase
fall millinery. It will interest Mrs.
Elam's hundreds OF friends to know
that this is her sixty-seventh trip to
New York during her residence of
many years in Americus-a record
equaled by few people in the state.
The distance to New York from Ameri-
Gus is about 900 miles, or 1900 miles
for the round trip. In her sixty-seven
trips Mrs. Elan has thus travelled 12O,
900 miles. If the journey had been
made in straight line she would have
circled the earth nearly five times. Mrs,
Elan has often made the journey back
and forth alone, both by rail and by
steamer, and in her sixty-seven round
trips has never met with an accident,
however slight. Here is indeed re
markable record-one few travellers
can boast,

LOOK OUT FoR THE CARS.

Within the past few months there
has been an unusual number of street
railway accidents in Topeka. People
have been run into, carriages have
been smashed to pieces, and many lives
endangered. It is a very easy matter
to determine the cause of these disas-
ters. The improved roadbed, the bet
ter cars and the more frequent service
all contribute to greater speed, and
speed is what is doing the mischief
just now.
So long as the company does not run
| its cars inside the city limits faster
than u miles an hour, the city has no
| legal right to interfere. 1t is doubtful
whether this speed limit is often ex-
ceeded even by the new cars.
But even if the city had the right to
compel the city railway to run its
cars slower, it is safe to say that it
would be q very unpopular move to do
so. Topeka has become accustomed to
such old slow-1noving tubs for street
cars that it finds itself taken by sur
prise when the cars really run so fast
that it is necessary to get off the track
as soon as possible when the gong
rings. The trouble is largely with the
habits of Topeka, and not with the ele-
CANT new street cars. The people of
Topeka don't want slower service.
They want a reasonable degree of
speed, and careful handling of cars by
competent motorneers and conductors.
This is what we have. The company
pays enough wages now to get intel
ligent, brave and careful men to run
its cars.
The only thing for people on foot
and in carriages to do is to exercise
more caution. Don't cross a street
car track without Cooking out for the
cars" Don't go stumbling along as
if you were in a country village, be-
cause you are liable to be nipped by
the front end of some of the rolling
stock of the Topeka City railway. To-
peka won't get discouraged by a few
accidents. She will try to overcome
the lifetime habits of carelessness in
duced by the decrepit and out of date
street car service to which the town
has become accustomed.
There is a good deal more danger
from the crazy devil-wagons which
are allowed to run loose in the streets
than from the street cars. There are
perhaps half a dozen automobilists
here who have, apparently, no fear of
present laws or punishment in the
hereafter. They are going to kill
somebody one of tn ese days. and then,
perhaps, the city will make an effort
to enforce the speed limit ordinance.
At present it is not an uncommon
thing for automobiles to run 80 or 40
miles an hour when off the business
streets.

BAILEY IN WASHINGTON.

Now that congress has adjourned
and it is announced thar Governor
Bailey Will leave Washington and go
on to visit the old Bailey homestead
| in Vermont, the boss buster papers
can breathe easily and perhaps get a
few winks of sleep without being con-
fronted with the nightmare of Cover
nor Bailey securing the removal of
Burton.
A desperate effort has been made by
the Burton organs to prove that Bailey
went east for the express purpose of
urging the United States senate to re-
move Burton in order to allow him
(Bailey) to appoint a senator in Bur
toms stead. It has been alleged that
Bailey's visit to Washington was kept
secret as long as possible. A Burton
organ in Topeka this morning assert
ed that when it was intimated that
the governor would bring up at Wash
ington. as the objective point of his
journey. it was denied"
As a matter of fact the news about
Governor Bailey's eastern trip was
not only published in the State Jour-
nal several days before he left To-
peka, but the item was handled by the
Associated Press, including the Wash
ington feature of it. That is the way
it was denied"
The statement that Governor Bailey
went to Washington for the purpose of
getting the senate to Dust Burton is
absurd on its face. 1t is a great COM
pliment to the governor that he is
credited with any such influence. The
United States senate is the greatest
legislative body in the world. and a
single United States senator-in good
standings usually regarded as
greater than a governor.
And yet the Burton organs have
been charging that Bailey went to
Washington to get the senate to GUST
Burton. and they have been abusing
him for it!
1t will be noticed that no names are
mentioned of persons to whom Gov
ernor Bailey is alleged to have ex-
pressed a desire to see Burton re-
moved. 1t would be strange if Bailey
has not talked about the Burton case
in Washington. but no definite state
ments are given in the alleged Wash
ington dispatches along this line. 1t
would be perfectly proper for Gov
ernor Bailey to talk about the case.
even to President Roosevelt. In fact,
II WOu1Q De 6VeI1dSllnBlY TO his circuit
if he has expressed the wish to see the
man who has disgraced Kansas and
his high office expelled from the
United States senate. And yet a few
newspapers which are largely re-
sponsibIe for sending Burton to the
senate. instead of commencing him
for his alleged stand against Burton, a
convicted criminal, are abusing him
for it These same DapprS credit
Bailey with a desire to appoint Joseph
L. Bristow as Burton's SUCCESSOR
man who is honored throughout the
entire country for his honor and his
integrity. And these Burton organs
are denouncing the governor for a de-
sire to see Bristow as senator from
Kansas in place of Burton, who has
disgraced the state!
1t is to be hoped that Governor
Bailey has expressed himself in Wash
ington concerning Burton. and that in
no uncertain terms It would be dis
graceful to have it appear that the
governor condones Burton's crime.
