The budding genius may merely de-

Many a fellow has been dead in

Many a man has been pulled down

It is natural when a woman Is

The woman who is always looking

Today Topeka has the pleasure of
welcoming the governing body of one
Of the great church denominations.
From all parts of the country they
come, and even from across the sea.
The visitors may rest assured that
Topeka is heartily glad to see them.
The I'VE hundred strangers who
gather in Topeka today to begin a ten
days session of the quadrennfal gen
eral conference of the United Brethren
church represent the two hundred and
fifty thousand members belonging to
that denomination. They are repre-
sentative men of a great church body.
The denomination which they repre-
sent, while perhaps not so large nu-
merica11y as some others, is recognized
as a positive and aggressive force for
good wherever it has been established.
1t believes in simplicity of faith and
loyalty to everything that is good. It
is one of the active evangelical forces
of the world. Its very name is sig
nifcant
1t is unnecessary to assure the visf-
tors that Topeka is the finest little city
in the west-they will speedily discover
that for themselves. If they have time
to look around bit they win also dis
cover that the greatest state in the IN
ion lies in the shape of a. parallelogram
out here on the prairies. OF course we
never brag about these things and
would not mention them if we were not
sure that the visitors would discover
these secrets Of ours anyway.
The gentle Kansas zephyrs may be-
come a little too playful occasionally,
but these things happen only at long
intervals. and they are not really as
bad as the breezes of other localities.
Then, too, our guests may find Topeka
somewhat dry in certain respects,
but we are led to believe that this fact
will not cause any great amount Of
grief among them. In fact, this is one
Of the things that Topeka can point to
with pride.
We sincerely trust that those we have
the honor to entertain may have an en-
joyable and profitable meeting in To-
peka. and that they may be so well
pleased with our state that they will
not only wish to come again, but they
viii come to remain permanently.

ROOSEVELT AND THE s


The position of President Roosevelt
with reference to disorder and violence
in the present labor disturbance in
Chicago must meet with the common
dalton of every law-abiding and order
loving American citizen. While he
did not grant any announcement or
concessions whatever to the represen-
tatives Of the strikers, those among
them who are loyal to their country
and who believe in the supremacy of
law must endorse his action.
IT am a believer in unions" saws
the president. IT am an honorary
member Of one union. But the unions
must obey the law, just as the corpo-
rations must obey the law; just as
every man, rich or poor, must obey the
law"
This is thoroughly consistent with
former utterances of the president. He
believes in law for all. He insists that
rich and powerful corporations shall
not override the statutes made to gov
ern them. and he also demands that
the laborin& classes shall themselves
be Iawabiding.
Mr.. Roosevelt would have enun-
ciated the same principles had the en-
ployers waited upon him. He would
have insisted upon justice, and obed-
fence to law from them. just as much
as he does from the strikers
/ The president naturally regrets that
/ the petition should speak of the use
Of the federal army in the manner of
the text and pertinently objects to GER
tain phraseology< in the petition. It is
certainly unfortunate for the labor
representatives that they should have
quoted approvingly such incendiary
language as this: "You are stronger
than they. You have your right arm
and your torches and by them we will
blot out this accused outrage We
viii turn Lowell into a sheep pasture.
I will apply the torch myself" etc
1t is noticeable that the president
brought home their own duty to those
who waited upon him, instead of dis
cussing the duty of their opponents.
His idea seems to be to impress each
man with the importance of being fair
himself, before he makes a demand for
fairness on the part of others His
statements brought forth from Presi-
dent Shea, of the teamsters' union. an
acknowledgment that mob violence is
not only wrong. but that it works a
Idetriment to the cause of labor. even
when committed by those moi. con
nected with the controversy. If Mr..
: Shea viii impress this idea upon his
followers and secure their co-opera-
ton along this line, he will do his
cause great good.

Presidential Possibilities for 1908.

According to the present outlook,
President Roosevelt viii be out of the
list of possibilities for 1908. This is
the biggest fact in connection with
the campaign four years hence that
has developed thus far. With Presi-
dent Roosevelt out of consideration,
many. persons-Vice President Fair
banks. Secretary Shaw, Secretary Taft
and Senator Knox-wilI suggest them
selves in connection with the candi-
dacy. OF course Secretary Hay would
stand in the front rank among the as
pirants were It not for his age. He
will be 70 before the election four
years hence, or more than two years
older than William Henry Harrison,
the most aged of the presidents, was
at his inauguration. and he lived only
a month after taking Office. There is
a chance very remote chance
that some of the radical element of
the party-Governor La Toilette of
Wisconsin, Governor Cummins of
Iowa, or some of the other young and
aggressive members of the party, with
advanced ideas on social and other re-
forns=may go to the front in the next
three years. Possibly congress may
develop somebody in that time who
will be a big figure in the convention.

MIX Cans Become Lifebuoys.

A farmers wife, who had been to
Llandipsil, Cardiganshire, to sell milk
had a singular escape from drowning
while returning to Carmarthen.
A small boat in which she was cross
ing a river was upset and she was
thrown into the water.
Fortunately she had with her two
milk cans, now empty and securely
closed, and these acted as lifebuoys.
Clinging to the cans, the woman
fioated along for some distance until
passersby saw her plight and rescued
her.-London Express.

AN INGALLS, LETTER.

Mrs. ingalls,, in rummaging over
old papers today, ran across a letter
from John J. ingalls, to his father,
written when he was a staff officer
under General Curtis, of the Kansas
guards who marched against Price.
The letter follows; Camp near Big
Blue, No, Friday night, October 81,
1864. Dear Father: In the devel-
opment of the campaign the union
forces are concentrated at this
point, and we expect a battle with
the rebels tomorrow. The troops
number about Is, 900 and are sta
toned on both sides of a rock defile
which affords the only practicable
access to our border for several
miles. Our artillery is in position,
and the roads have been INSTRUCTED
by falling timber and we await an
assault by the enemy. The scene is
magnificent. The clear frosty light of
the moon contends with the smoky
glare OF innumerable camp fires which
blaze along the wooded crests and
furrowed slopes, like the light of a
great city. I think we shall come out
all right. It looks we'll. Personally I
have no fear. Regards to all the folks.
I send this to Leavenworth by a spe-
cial messenger who is going through
our lines with dispatches" The bat
tie which Ingalls, refers to as impend-
ing was never fought because Price
withdrew his forces.-Atchison Globe.

THE MAN WHO RoCKs rHR BoAT.

TIE MAN WHO ROCKS The BOAT.
The men who rashly blow adown
The muzzle of the gun;
The men who twist the heehaW's tail
And do it just for fun;
The men who feign to hang themselves
With slipl1not round the throat
Are distanced by the crazy fool,
The man who rocks the boati
The men who jump from of the bridge
And make a startling splash;
The men who dance along the caves
To show that they are rash;
The men who trick an elephant
Or irritate a goat
All these are distaneed by that fool,
