WHY JOINTS EXIST.
Chancellor. Strong Says It Is Because
Ethical Question Is Disregarded.

The principal address at Friday
afternoons session of the Baptist con-
vention was delivered by Chancellor
Strong of the State university. He
spoke on THE Duty of the American
Citizen in Political Matters" The
chancellor said that it was because
people did not lay stress enough on The
ethical questions in politics that joints
exist in the state. He said: Men viii
always be divided into parties. They
never all look at things the same way
and there viii always be Republican,
Democratic or other parties When
they devide into parties they should
not lose sight of the ethical question
and when it comes to Ihe saloon they
must consider the matter from the
standpoint of the New Testament, the
fundamental ethical standpoint" At
the close of Chancellor Strong's ad
on the subject Of the "Layman's Part
in Social Organizations
At O'Clock the laymen of the con-
vention were entertained at a banquet
at the Purviance restaurant. A hun
dred and thirty-ffve enjoyed the ban
quet.
The principal business Of the day
which was transacted. was the election
Of Rev. J. T. Crawford eff Parsons to
succeed Rev. R. 3. Meredith as mis-
siOnary secretary of the convention.
The early part of the evening ses-
sion was taken up with an Illustrative
missionary song service with pictures
of the san Francisco disaster. Rev.
Thos. Young Of this city had charge of
the service. Short addresses were
given by Rev. W. ". Seary Of Howard
Rev. A H. Beaver of Hutchinson and
r. a. Swegler of Ottawa The prin-
cipal address was delivered by w. A.
Elliott district secretary. of Newton.
Mr.. Elliott's address, 1.-The New Cen
tury's Challenge to American Chris
tianity," was taken I'D principally with
lem. Mr.. Elliott predicted the ex-
tinctiou Of the blonde type it being

NO ERMINE FOR TAFT.
He Turns Down OGer of Place on the
Supreme Bench.

Washington. Oct. 2O-Secretary of
War Taft has definitely decided not to
accept the presidents recent tender of
an associate justiceship of the supreme
court and has SO informed his official
chief In consequence of his declina-
ton of the place Mr. Roosevelt will
soon offer It to another man. He is now
canvassing a choice list of available
men. and expects before long to make
a selection. The vacancy to be filed
was caused by the retirement of Assoc
ciate Justice Henry B. Brown of Mich
igan, at the conclusion of last springs
term of court.
Secretary Taft's decision to remain
in the cabinet for the present doubt
less will occasion surprise in some
quarters, for it was the opinion of many
prominent public men in Washington
that he was deferring the announce
ment of his acceptance of the presi
dents offer in order to participate with
propriety in the pending congressional
campaign. They expected, especially
in view of the presidents failure to APP
point another man. that the secretary
would be ready to don the ermine after
the November elections.

REED ESTATE HAS GROWN.
It Is Nearly Three Times What It Was
When the Speaker Died.

New York Oct. 20.-The estate of
Thomas Bracket Reed. ex-speaker OF
the house Of representatives,. has nearly
trebled in value since the death of Mr.
Reed, in December, 1902. At that time
the approximate value of the estate
was about 100000 This week Augustus
c. Paine, who was an intimate friend
Of the eX-speaker sent to Mrs. Susan
p Reed, the widow. over $500, 900, which
represented the original investment
holdings of the estate and the profits
from these and other investments in the
last four years.
The greater part Of the estate was in
railroad stock and Mr.. Paine, as execu-
tor had entire charge of turning these
securities into cash. It is said that Mr.
Paine could have wound up the affairs
OF the estate many months ago, but re-
invested large part of the estate
funds at the solicitation of Mrs Reed.
When asked if these assertions re-
gardtng the Reed estate were facts, Mr.
Paine said:
1T IS true that Mrs. Reed is now in
very comfortable circumstances. What
ever 1 have done for the estate 7 have
done gladly. Mr.. Reed was one of nny
grea test friends"
The widow is living In the old Reed
homestead in Portland. Me.
It will be remembered that Mr.. Reed
when he retired from public life did 50
a comparatively poor man. He said at
the time that he retired to go into the
business world to make a little money

DONOVAN MAKES MOVE
Chief swears Ont Warrant Against a
Joindst.

The first jointist to be molested since
the handing Of the list prepared by the
council committee to the chief. was
Charles Wells, who was arrested at his
place at zoo East Crane street by Off
GERS Ross and. Goh- The arrest was
made with a warrant sworn out by
Chief Donovan.
This was one of the places which the
council committee mentioned on their
list. The place is a little old shack and
has been used at different times for
this purpose. The contents of the
establishment when raided yesterday
afternoon were a partially filed key OF
beer, half empty jug, some tin cups
and mugs Tt being the dull part Of
the day things were very quiet at the
time of the arrest, but on Thursday
evening the police, who were watching
the place, counted more than hun
bred people who went in to quench
their thirst
Whether or not sufficient evidence
can be found to convict Charles Wells
or not is unknown. as the evidence of
the officers is not now admitted. How
some of those who obtained liquor in
the place to testify at the trial. For
the present Wells was released on bond
until his case comes up for trial We'd
nesday the oath.
Wells joint is the first to be raided
since the chief stopped his raids after
driving all tn joints upstairs. A num-
Der of cases We're dismissed by the city
attorney and after that the matter was
allowed to rest until the council COM
mittee made its report.

IT BEATS PANAMA CANAL.
Mayor Mcclellan Discusses New Water
Supply Scheme.

New York. oct. 2o.-Mayor McClel-
Ian returned to the city hall yesterday
after an inspection of the route over
which the viaducts and tunnels for the
additional water supplies from the
Catskills will be built
''The people of this city," he said
do not realize the immensely Of the
project which the municipality has
taken in hand to increase its water
supply 1t is a task even greater than
that of building the Panam acanal
Imagine, for instance, the building
of a reservoir twelve miles long and
two miles wide and in some places 100
feet deep and then providing for the
carrying of the stored water a distance
of 100 miles. The project is a tremend-
GUS one"

WHY THEY'RE FOR HARRIS.
A Commercial Traveller says 1t Is Be
cause of His Position.

To the Editor State Journal:
By a recent copy of your paper
notice Dan Dyer explains the fact of
the commercial travelling men stand
ing almost as a unit for Harris, by the
statement that the travelling men IN
Kansas are largely from Gov. Folk S
state and are therefore naturally Dem
ocratic. Mr.. Dyer's diagnosis of what
ails the travelling men IS wrong.
They are for Harris because Harris
and the candidates on his ticket stand
for a two-cent passenger rate, and a
reasonable reduction of excessive
freight rates, things the United Com
mercial Travelling Mems association
has been demanding for years. It is
business not party with the travelling
men. The last Democratic admins
tration in Kansas, Gov. Clicks, sreduc-
ed passenger fares from four to three
cnts per mile, and no railway or its
employee has suffered.
