Hiss ROOseveIt's Future Home.

Alice Roosevelt's future home in Gin
cinnati, over which she will soon reign,
is one of the most beautiful estates in the
country. Nicholas Longworth the first
great-grandfather of the present con.
gresham, went to Cincinnati when it
was but landing place for Ohio river
boats. He secured enormous tracts of
land for a song, and these have since
been handed down generation after gene
ration. AS the town grew, fifteen acres
OF the choicest property were set aside tor
the Longworth home. Here, on the
Grandin road, deeply buried in a veritable
forest, the mansion stands. surrounded
by hotaouses and foliage and filled with
an art collection OF priceless worth. 1t
is one OF the finest Of the two cont.

the owners of which are all rated far in
the millions. The Longworth estate is
about one mile from any car line and
half mile from the road, the driveway
being overshadowed with heavy foliage.

HARRIS AND FOLK.

Colonel William a. Harris assurediy
has reason to be gratifed at the reeep-
ton which Topeka gave him last night.
Many of the audience were attracted to
the Auditorium by the distinguished
governor from Missouri, but Colonel
Harris was given closer attention and
a more enthusiastic. reception than was
Governor Folk. This may be account
ed for by the fact that the latter de-
livered more of a Chautauqua address
than q campaign speech, while the au-
dience was looking for campaign argu-
ments.
Governor Folks address was a strong
plea for good government. It was one
of the strongest law enforcement
speeches ever made in Topeka II one
had not known better he would have
supposed he was in a law enforcement
meeting instead Of Democratic rally
The sentiments expressed were such as
should be endorsed by any good citI-
zen.
The impression made by Colonel Har-
ris was such that it viii be difficult
for the Republican leaders to overcome.
He came out strong for the new ideas
in politics represented by Roosevelt.

stamp-the idea that laws are made to
( be obeyed. whether they BE-. prohibitory
laws or antitrust laws. Colonel Har-
ris mentioned specifically the railroad
law. the antitrust law, and the prohibi-
tory law as among those which have
not been enforced in Kansas and he de-
claEed for the strict and impartial en-
forcement of all. And it was evident
that his audience was in sympathy with
him to a great extent, although there
was no blind partisan demonstration.
