Topeka, February "a, 1905.
To the Editor of the State Journal
In reference to your article in Wed
nesday's Journal headed. why Not
Stop TIP want to say that am very
glad that this affair has at last been
brought before the public through
your paper. which is read by many
Topeka people who are pleased to
know that you denounce this de-
graded policy which has been allowed
to exist unmolested against the written
laws of our city. I am personally
interested because members of my
family come in contact with these
vile women every day against their
will and my aged father was assault
ed by one of them, dragged into the
alley at Seventh and Quincy streets,
and robbed Of his pOcketbook contain
ing S25. and he was left dazed by the
blow which knocked him down. Al
though he endeavored to call an off,
Ger there were none to be found, and
when he reached my home at Seventh
and Monroe streets he was in a nerv-
Gus condition from which he did not
recover for some time afterwards Mr.
Martin has been repeatedly accosted
by them and reported the affair to
the police. without avail. Even our
young son in his teens has been at
tackled by them. I think it is time for
the citizens to take a hand and en-
deavor to suppress such an outrage
upon the community. I hope others
will join me in the opinion that some
thing must be done at once

One of the pleasing new books of the
year is by Rev. w A Quayle, who was
reared in Topeka on the historic Wa
karusa, but who is now one of the
prominent preachers of Chicago It is
called Prairie and the Sea" and the
publishers are Messrs. Jennings & Ora
ham of Cincinnati. AS one may guess
from the title a part Of the text refers
to Kansas.
An eastern reviewer says: The vol
uTne, a generous octave, is literally FILL
ed with beautiful illustrations
full-page pictures to artistic vignetteS
and attractive little head and tail
pieces all of them chosen with an I'M
erring eye for the picturesque, for the
infinite beauty that nature scatters over
the surface of the earth with a hand
reckless as fnexhaustibIe in the endless
variety of its effects. On the prairie,
in the woods, in spring and summer
and autumn and winter, in the noun
tainS, on the water, everywhere has
beauty been found and photographed
by artists; and everywh ere Mr. Quayle
has found true inspiration for his able
pen. This is admirable work, q specl-
men of which may not come amiss.
Writing Of the beauty of the straight
trunks of trees, he says:
''As BruneIleschi beheld the dome Of
heaven and dared to reproduce it for
cathedral roof, and did it in such ex-
ultant fashion as that it still remains
the wondered at delight of many gen
erations, so he who fashioned some I'M
couth quarry piece into a pillar saw a
tree trunk spring from the brown
mold and bear its boscage royalty aloft
and from that tree trunk fashioned his
good design. The pillar is tree trunk
turned into stone. God invented the
pillar: man copied it. Let anybody
stand in the serene presence of a win
ter forest, where trees are grown to
manhood and their bulks lift in varied
and imposing etry-stand and
look at their brave boles life them
selves on Highland ask himself how
differs this sight from the fashion of
columns in the temple of the Acropolis,
save that in the. temple the pillars
stood in decorous orderliness. while in
the temple of the woods the pillars
stood in glorious disorder. the rank
growths of fruitful soil enriched with
centuries of withered and fallen leaves.
The groves were Gods first temples,
where the shadow and the comfort of
the roof where moaned the tireless
music of the nomad winds, were held
aloft by stately pillars of oak and pine
and ash and sycamore and elm and
tulip and cottonwood. With this
architectural aspect of the trees this
writing has to do-the pillars Of the
trees.

The 1906 World Almanac and Encvclo-

1t fits the pocket both IN size and prica
and there is more solid fact and figure
in its $50 pages than In a whole shelf

why the yoluninous publications are
'shelved.' The Almanac buyer carries

the man who can afford it, but wants
