sTA11oNER STRIKES BACK.
NJ. L. Zercher Says That Governor
Hoch Isn't Fair.

Governor Hoch's denunciation of
the three Topeka stationery houses
which bid on state house supplies be-
fore the executive council on Wednes-
day, and showed large discrepancies
from the prices which they quoted two
weeks ago, brought response this
morning from NJ. L. Zercher. owner
of the Zercher book and stationery
store, one of the abused"
He brought this open communica-
ton to the State Journal Office today,
and labels it "a Personal Word to
Governor Hoch. It follows;
Three times since March l has Gov
ernor Hoch given interviews to the
daily press denouncing us as highway
robbers and usually connecting other
reputable and responsible stationers.
The last of these appeared in this
mornings newspapers. The first inter-
view in March denounced the local
StationerS, and announced that he pro-
posed to investigate, and thought a
purchasing agent should be appointed.
The contract under consideration
would amount to about $1,000 for the
entire year. This is called for in small
amounts, and usually several times
day for the entire year, so that man
must be kept ready to care for it at
once.
1t takes longer to prepare to handle
this contract in a satisfactory manner
than to secure a diploma in medical
college. Notwith standing all this our
contract with the state of Kansas
would not average profit of 15 per
cent, figuring every item on the con-
tract.
If this is true. and the records are
on file to prove it, it follows the gov
ernor is in entire ignorance if that
which he assumes to speak of with
authority, or else he is attempting po-
litical advantage at the expense of his
neighbors, and is deluded with the idea
that he is a second Teddy Roosevelt
-sr,1r oil
he says as concentrated wisdom.
Has he made any investigation? Not
at all. 1t is only buncombe.
The governor has recently ordered
up fine carpets and desks to approx1-
mately the amount of an entire years
stationery contract, all delivered at
once and at a greater profit than our
contract on stationery, which must be
delivered in small amounts and
throughout the entire year. But this
was not done before the council and
the newspaper reporters
There never was a lower and more
fair bid on stationery offered to the
state of Kansas than that which Gov
ernor Hoch turned down, and placed
the state to the expense of readver-
tising.
The fact is that Ievel-headed men
who have followed the governor for
the last two weeks almost unanimous
ly and sorroWfully admit that Kansas
needs a. governor worse than she mas
ever needed one before.
The governor has had under consld-
Grafton and taken action upon con-
tracts a thousand times more impor-
tant to the state of Kansas than the
stationery contract. The best men of
the state think very serious mistakes
were made. The greatest graft the
state ever knew Mr.. Hoch pursued to
the last ditch and failed to land. Our
bids are right; we have no Pullman
1aSSeS to hand out.

CHINA GAINS NERVE.
Probably Will Refuse to Sign Treaty
Excluding Any of Her People.

Washington, July 27.-Some doubt
is expressed whether it will be possible
to obtain Chinese consent to their
treaty with the United States providing
for even the exclusion of Chinese la
borers from this country. The state
department is aware of ill-feeling
throughout China on the whole sub
ject and now that the immigration
treaty with China has been allowed to
lapse without the negotiation of new
treaty reports have reached here that
China is inclined hereafter to refuse to
sign any similar convention. China S
position appears to be that the ex-
clusion of Chinese citizens from
friendly country Is in itself disgrace
and while she cannot ignore the laws
of a foreign power, providing for such
exclusion, she can refuse to sanction 1t
or become part of it by concluding a
treaty involving such restrictions. A
year ago it is said it would have been
easy to conduct negotiations with
China for the exclusion of Chinese Ia
borers only. Now, however, it is un-
derstood the Chinese officials are dis
posed to regard the signing of such a
treaty against their dignity. The rea-
son for this new attitude is not quite
clear to the officials here, though in
some circles it is attributed to the in
fluence of foreign powers.

Great Swimmer, who has continued on
his watery way rejoicing in his Prov
ess meets men that have studied the
art of self propulsion for years and
have won races and played water polo
under expert guidance? Mr.. Great
Swimmer finds that he actually has no
chance whatever against these men,
and his conceit and pride take a terrific
tumble. At the bottom of the whole
matter lies the simple fact that he had
no knowledge of what good swimming
form and expertness of execution
meant. In other words, there are no
self made racing swimmers. All men
that win races in fast" company have
practiced for years under experienced
instructors. Swimming is a science in
every sense of the word, and every
candidate for high honors must go
through a course of preparation as ar
duous as that encountered by aspirants
for degrees in the universities.

]. H. Sterrett of the National Swim
ming association has written a book
entitled How to SWIM" He explains
all the useful strokes. An important
one. the underarm side stroke he de-
scribes as follows:
Having mastered the first principles
of swimming and learned the breast
stroke, the novice is now ready and in
variably anxious to learn more of the
intricacies of the art that will enable
him to take care of himself under any
and all conditions as well as feel COM
Portable and at home at all times in
the water and also swim with more
speed and less exertion, covering lon
ger distances without being tired or
exhausted. To do this it is necessary
to have knowledge of other strokes,
and the next one in the order of pro-
gression and the one usually learned
after the breast stroke is the under
arm side stroke. The natural position
of the body in breast swimming pre-
sents large resisting surface, and the
action of the arms and legs wastes con-
siderable power. To overcome these
difficulties scientific swimmers have
adopted various other strokes, which
are not only faster, but, when properly
acquired, much easier, more graceful
and equally serviceable in both long
L
derarm side stroke is the first step in
the line of advancement from the
breast method, and we shall proceed to
explain as clearly as possible the ac-
ton of this stroke.
"The swimmer can lie on either side
but generally the right side is used by
those who are right handed, although,
of course, the side which comes most

TWELVE NEW CASES.
six Deaths From yellow Fever in Past
"a Hours.

New Orleans, July 27.-No report of
additional cases or deaths from yellow
fever were made public by the city
board of health in the early hours of
the day. There was unofficial reports
of number of new cases today. how
ever. Official report was made of twelve
new cases and six deaths occurring in
the preceding "A hours OF the twelve
new cases nine are Italians. Only two
of the cases are in the upper part of
the city, the others being in the vicinity
of the French Market. OF the deaths
one occurred in the hospital, two uptown
and others in the French market dis
trict.
The authorities after a study of the
foci expressed the opinion that there
was still hope of eradicating the disease
before fall and in any event with the
precautions taken, a serious epidemic
was entirely out of the question
AS a result of the decision of the
state board of health to make the six
day detention Immediately effective, four
fruit ships bound to New Orleans have
been ordered to Mobile which is under
stood to be willing to receive them. One
case of yellow fever has appeared at
Canarie, five miles from Fort ST. Philip,
so miles below the city. 1t is that of an
Italian woman, who escaped from the
French market district. Lieutenant
Colonel Maus, U. S. A. has returned
from the post. There is no present in
tention to move the garrison. DR.. Ames
is to be stationed at Jacksonville Bar
racks. There is no fever at the post.
Italian societies are aiding the au-
thorities. The only serious alarm here
has been among Italians. Many of them
living in the French market section
were ignorant and superstitious, and
when the fever began TO rage they be-
came frightened, and those not down
with it, fled to friends in other sections
of the city and to the surrounding eoun-
try. That is why the foci has been
distributed. Several cases of concealed
fever have been reported by the socie-
ties. Formerly in yellow fever epi-
denies here houses containing cases
have been tagged. 1t has not yet been
decided to flag cases this year. Arbi-
trary restrictions against attendance at
funerals have also been modified in the
belief that only the mosquito can trans

The publication of deaths and cases
has not been made but the reports are
open to inspection and the health Off

screening them.
