week ago and tone of the market for
all butcher choice kinds has been

TWO LETTERS.
They Both say the Sunday state jour-
nal Is Cre6litabIe.

The State Journal is continually
breaking some of its former records.
One of these records is to keep out
complimentary press notices and let
ters about itself. This rule has been
broken several times during this
month, when so many obstacles have
been thrown in the way of the estab-
lishment of the edition of the state
Journal for Sunday
A page. yes, two pages. could be
flied tonight containing letters and
notices commencing the Sunday edi-
ton Two only will be printed to-
night; one from a former reporter
the other from George r. Peck.
Peck loaned the writer fifty dollars
about nineteen years ago. when he
(not Peck was short of funds and
needed the money, especially as his
credit was not very good from begging
and borrowing about all he could raise
to keep the old State Journal aloat.
This was along about the time when
the Bank of Topeka threw out the
State Journals check for 1914 and it
came back protested and marked "No
funds" We have long ago forgiven
the bank for that because we had no
business to draw the check expecting
to get the money in the bank to meet
it before it got around. The bank was
right, of course. Mr.. Mulvane Taught
us a good business lesson, and we have
never taken the State Journal account
from that bank to this day; but here
are the two letters:
Newspaper Is Made by It's Readers.
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail-
way Company, Office of General Coun-
Railway
Chicago. October q, 1905.
My Dear Friend: I must congratu-
late you on your Sunday edition of the
/ Journal. It is a fine specimen of news
paper enterprise and does great credit,
not only to yourself, but to Topeka and
/ Kansas.
"A twenty-page Sunday paper in To-
peka with Illustrations and a great di-
versity OF reading matter is certainly
/ a splendid Illustration Of the energy
which has characterized your mana ge-
ment of the Journal for the past twenty
years.
You have a right to feel proud Of
what your have accomplished, but. of
/ course, a newspaper is made by its
readers. There is probably no other
city in the United States of the size of
Topeka, which contains SO many in
telIigent, well informed and educated
/ people, and Kansas is simply Topeka
| on a large scale. Il remember, many
/ years ago. being at Fort Scott during
the meeting of the Kansas Editorial
/ convention. W. s. Burke Of Leaven-
worth a veteran newspaper man, de-
livered the annual address Among

About Kansas City
That "Deeent W omen. Are Afraid

PEOPLE ARE EXCITED.
Mass Meeting Is Called for This
Evening.
Mercantile Club Takes Up the
Charges.

Governor Hoch refuses to retract his
statement made in a recent speech that
decent women are afraid to appear
on the streets of Kansas City, Kan, on
Sunday
Have you seen the report that the
Kansas City Mercantile club viii with
draw its invitation to you to speak at
its banquet?'' was asked of the gov
ernor today.
Yes. 1 noticed it," said the governor.
What are you going to do about it?''
oh. nothing special
Then you propose to stand pat on
your statements made in the speech?''
Il usually do stand pat. don't II " re-
piled the governor.
Kansas City people are very much ex-
cited about the governors attack on
that town. and James z. Getty, the Re-
publican member of the senate from
Kansas City, Kan, is circulating a Pc
tition IN that city denouncing Governor
Hoch.
Benjamin Schnierle, president of the
Mercantile club, who came to Topeka a
lew Gays ago to extend the clubs invi-
tat1On to Governor HOch. announces
that the withdrawal of that invitation
Will be considered at the next meeting
of the club. Meantime mass meeting
OF the citizens of Kansas City has been
called for o'clock this evening at the
common pleas court room to take ac-
ton in defense of Kansas City.
In speaking of the statement made
by the governor. Mr.. Schnierle said:
such an outrage against the citizens
Of this city can not go unchallenged.
If the governor has misconstrued
Things 1t IS clearly up to himself to
explain himself, and If he chose to take
the word of his informant for granted
then it is up to him to disclose the
name of that man. The Commercial
club has stood for everything that is
right and decent in this town, and
such a reflection on the character OF
our citizens and upon the town in gen
eraI deserves a righteous rebuke for
someone. The matter Will come up for
discussion at our next regular meet
