ABOUT ADVERTISING.

Cheap advertisement is generally
the most expensive investment the
business man can make. There Is
such a thing as getting good adVer-
Using cheap. but cheap advertising Is
seldom good Cheap advertising IS a
drug on the market. That's why it is
cheap. Newspapers and periodicals
with little circulation or which are
forced 20 give heir publications away
in order 10 circulate them are gener-
ally vendors of cheap advertising.
They are obliged to sell their space
for little OF nothing. and no matter
how cheap they offer advertising it is
seldom worth half they ask. Any
thing 10 fill up the paper is the motto
hanging on the walls of the vender Of
cheap Advertising The result is a
constantly diminishing circulation list
and a continual struggle 10 secure adj
vertlsing at any price. The puhlishey

news cannot afford 10 sell his adyer-

Using space because he can deliver
the goods. The advertiser wants cir
culation. He wants assurance that
his announcement win be read by a
sufficient number Of people to justify
him in paying the price asked by the
publisher for the space used.
Not only does the advertiser want
quantity in circulation. but he is par

WHAT'S THE CAMEL

1t is not easy to- see exactly how Mr.
Loomis gained anything by the latest
coat Of whitwash which the Presiden!
has applied upon him. His case was
thoroughly considered by the public
at large some tim ago and the facts
presented by official and friendly
sources did not reflect credit upon him
Moreover. whatever may have been the
late Secretary Hays private opinion
Of him, and whatever may hare been
the Presidents friendly attitude. II
cannot be forgotten that bis oifenses
In the Venezuelan affair were 50 grave
that the President and Secretary Taft,
with all OF their Partially and spec.
ious defense, could not go so ffar as TO
exoncrate him entirely They even
referred to their favorte as being "in.
discreet and vontured the belief that
in certain matters he might have
evinced nicer sense cf property
Then they cited his case as an ex
ample to other representatives Of the
United States Government abroad
pointing the moral that one who occn
pies the position Of Minister cannot
afford to leave the slightest doubt as
10 the absence Of all personal ntores
In any matters which he may brinf
before the Government 70 which he "
credited" s MI

MOB SPIRIT DISTRIBUTED

The mob spirit appears to have
been pretty evenly distributed over
he country few days ago. While a
mob was chasing a negro murderer in
Texas with a view of Iynehing him an
other also undertook to do business in
New York City and in the vicinity Of
Denver, Colo The scene in New York
was quite unusual even for the mob.
After a Judge had sentenced bigamis
and thief to nineteen years in the peni-
Tertiary and denounced him as avil
lain, mob Of 500 men ON the outside
of the court room attempted TO get
the prisoner and the officers who bad
charge of him had great difficulty in
protecting him from bodily injury
And this right under the shadow OF
| The court room.
Meantime the mob in Colorado was
busy eBcause a Judge CT the county
| in which Is located Denver gave orders
| to arrest a sheriff and marshal for
\ failing to execute the anti-gambling
and Sunday liquor laws mob caught
the judge as he was trying to get into
| Denver. and demanded that he rescind
he order to arrest The two delinquent
G.c rs. Not until he told the mem
5crs Of the mob that he had already
done so was he released.
OF course. 1t is awful to contemplate
The burning of a negro murderer at tbs
stake Texas has had several disgrace:
/ of a similar character of late, and has
done itself great deal of harm al
home as well as abroad as a result Of
these outrages. Ii is hoped. therefore
that the governor of Texas, who has
ordered out troops to prevent another
exhibition of barharism. will succeed
in preventing the brutalities and SET
that the law is not trampled under
foot by a band of frenzied anarchists
So far as the actual insult 10 the Law
! Is concerned it would be no worse thar
the attempt of mobai in the heart 0
New York City TO do bodily harm 10
Iprisoner in the shadow Of the conr
room, and the threat Of the mol
against a Judge himself for infiictinl
punishment upon officers of the lay
for failure To enforce the law. Thes
are about as near the climax of the an
archistic spirit as one can easily imae
inc.
The three incidents, however, sho'
that the mob spirit exists in the Nortf
: the East, the South an dthe West.
, Is that spirit of anarchy which result
, from disregard and non-obseryance {
: the law, and II is confined to no on
! section Of the country. It is as bad !

WOMEN TO TRY IT.
They Propose to Organize a Kansas
Day Club.

A Woman's Kansas Day club is the
latest development in the woman
movement in Kansas 1t seems to be
another application of the old equal
suffragist plea that a woman is as
good as a, negro. This has been work.
ed to the limit by advocates of female
suffrage ever since the adoption of the
Fourteenth amendment and now the
Kansas Day club has started more
trouble by honoring a coIored man
and giving the equal suffragists a.
fresh grievance. Anyway, although
they say nothing about being sore,
that is the presumption from the fact
that the Good Government club of To-
pekas an equal suffrage club organ
lied with the State Equal Suffrage as
SOciation, voted at its meeting this
bration for women.
Mrs. T. P. Gresham of Cottonwood
Falls, president of the K. E. S. A, and
Miss Helen Kimber of Chicago, vice
president, were both at the meeting
which was held at Mrs. G. H. Gui-
bor's house on Harrison street Thurs
day. The clubs announcement of its
Kansas Day plans makes no reference
to the Vernon matter or to any of the
time honored grievances of the women
who want the ballot, but simply states
that the club will celebrate Kansas
day along historical lines" invites the
women OF the state and especially the
pioneer women to Topeka for that oc-
casion and makes the event an annual
one. Both men and women will be
invited to speak. That's the trouble
with the women-they're SO soft
hearted they simply can't help being
good to the men.
Through the courtesy of George W.
Martin, secretary of the State His
torical society, the meeting viii be
held in the society's rooms in the
state house Monday, January 80, the
afternoon Of the day when the Kan
sas Day club gives it's banquet. Out
of town women may take advantage
of the low rates offered for the Kan /
sas Day club meeting by all the rail-
roads running into Topeka Simmer
ed down, the whole thing is probably /
only a scheme to prevent the hus-
bands from getting away from home
alone for a day because now no man
who comes to Topeka for the Kansas
Day club banquet has any excuse for
leaving his wife at home.
The Womans Kansas Day club an
concludes thusly:
1t is hoped the newspapers of the
state will give this matter widest pub
ucity. and urge all women who are
Interested in the history of Kansas
and who desire to see the sentiment
of loyalty and devotion to the states
best interests sustained anq 1nculcated
to attend this meeting.

MATTRESS FACTORY FIRE
BfcEntire Brothers Establishment
Damaged for Second Time.

A fire entailing a loss of approximate
ly $1,400 occurred at noon today. The
fire was located in the two story brick
building at 307 Kansas avenue, the
basement and first floor of which is oc-
cupied by the McEntire mattress fac
tory. Machinery for the manufacture
of excelsior is stationed in the base
ment and in consequence the basement
was almost completely filed with the
crude material.
The fire starting from an unknown
source swept through the piled up ex-
celsior like a prairie fire. A number of
mattresses were stored on the first floor
but the material loss is confined to the
machinery, the factory occupying two
numbers, SO5 and 307, and the nlachin-
cry being almost entirely in the build
ing at 3O7 where the fire starred and
was confined
The McEntires place their loss at
from $500 to $500 covered by 81. 900 in
surance. The building is owned by Otto
Cornwell of New York. The resident
agents for the building. GrolI & Nc
Kittrick, state that $1,000 insurance was
carried upon the building. The damage
was confined by the department to the
basement and first floor.
The loss on the building should not
exceed $500.
This is the second loss by fire for
the McEntires-

KRETSINGER DIDN'T.
Was Some One Else Who Tied Up
State Printer Bill.

Tt was the senators and not w. S.
Kretsinger, secretary of the senate,
who tied up the state printer bill.
When the senate adjourned the state
printer bill was "sewed up until the
senate convenes at 4 o'clock Monday.
The state printer bill had passed
the senate and had been sent to the
house 1t was passed by the house
just before the representatives ad-
journed. In the meantime the senate
had adjourned and the state printer
bill was left in the hands of Chief
Clerk Knapp, of the house, and he
could not deliver it back to the SEN
ate until that body is in session which
will be O'Clock Monday.
Mr.. Kretsinger found that this was
the status of affairs. Some of the
senators consulted Chief Justice john
ston and determined that the bill
would not be finally passed until it
had been returned to the senate by
the chief clerk of the house. Then
within 48 hours it would have to be
signed by the lieutenant governor and
the secretary of the senate
The state printer bill is now in the
hands of Chief Clerk Knapp of the
house, and it will remain there until
the senate is in session.
At the session Monday afternoon
the state printer bill VIII be signed
and published in the official state pa
per Tuesday morning and the house
and senate will proceed Tuesday to
elect a, state printer
The senators do not need to worry
because Kretsinger went home for
that makes no difference in the bill.
