San Francisco, Sept. 12-The Rus

Sunday and claimed the facilities OF
this port, because her boilers were In
such condition as to make her unsea-
worthy. Her officers declared " she

command of the Lena. which carries

mander Rytschagoff, the cruisers ex-
ecutive officer, said the Lena three
weeks. ago was ordered to proceed from
Vladivostok to San Francisco In re-
Spouse to the urgent request of the
Russian consul general here.
Admiral Goodrich, of the Pacific
squadron, notified Washington of the
cruisers arrival and he received
prompt orders to hold his squadron
here until the departure Of the Russian
vessel. The local Japanese colony Is
wildly excited over the cruisers ar
rival.
Manager Harnett, Of the Japanese
steamboat line, who was promptly
warned of the arrival of the Russian
cruiser, cabled to his company in Yo-
kohama to hold the America Maru, now
between Shanghai and Nagaslxi on her
way to this city. Harnett's theory is
that the Russian, cruiser was sent out
from Vladivostok ION rowing commits
sion to capture Japanese vessels. He
regards the alleged trouble with her
boilers as ruse to permit the vessel to
stay here and dismantle. Then, at s.
days notice, she could resume her guns
and sail out ready to hold up any jap

The 1922. 600 bond of the Topeka

the state school fund commission for

This is the bond which was written
by hand by Edward Wilder. It was
registered all right by the city and
county authorities, but when It
reached the state auditors Office for
registration it was held up because it
had no coupons attached. The law
provides that the state auditor shall
charge up to the state treasurer the
bonds and coupons in the state treas

The question of party organizat ton
Is summed up in an article which
appeared in the Chicago Chronicle last
week explaining the difference between
a machine and an "organiza ton.
The Chronicle, which is democratic in
politics. says:
When he has it's support and favor
the candidate speaks of it most re-
specially as the party organization. -
When he ceases to enjoy its support
he at once begins to designate il as
the machine qualifying the epithet
with such reproductive adjectives as he
finds handy. Yet he invariably pro-
ceeds to erect an 'organiza ton of his
own, which his opponents in their turn
always term his machine" 1t is a
mere difference in nomenclature. The
thing itself is the same
The thing itself, moreover. is a ne
cessity of politics. In other words, the
machine" is politics systemat ized. If
the machine" be made the fnstru-
ment for furthering bad policies or for
advancing the candidacy of unworthy
men it is a bad machine. If it be
used to advance the public welfare and
to elect good officers it is a good ma
chine. But. good or bad, 1t is a ne
cessity of politics and it win last as
long as politics lasts.
This is only another way of saying
that organization is necessary to the
success of any movement involving
mum bers of men. To assert that a po-
litfcal party could be successful with
out a party machine" would be as
absurd as to declare that an army
could accomplish anything without or
ganization, discipline and leadership.
