Courtesies of speech.

In lecture at Leeds Mr.. F. r. Ben
son told his audience of a man to
whom he offered a ticket for a per-
Torrance of "a Midsummer Nights
Dream" The offer was accepted in
the words, ''Well, 1 don't mind if 1
do" The phrase is not precisely what
one might call an outburst of graft
tude. Analysed, indeed, it is extra
ordinarily rude; it is no more than
synonym for Thank you for moth
ing But of course those who use
the expression-and they are a large
number-do not stay to analyze its
meaning. and the persons to whom it
is addressed accept it, if they are wise,
without affront. It is merely another
example of the slipshod style of speech
that has become so common. we
have substituted Thanks" for THANK
you" yet even the latter would have
seemed abrupt and discourteous to
the more punctilious age that would
have said ST thank you" The young
lady of today, when she wishes to show
extraordinary gratitude. rattles out,

eous. no doubt. but it does not carry

Candidate of No Faction.

Again it has been stated that I was
to be the candidate of the vets, what
ever that may signify. 1 am not the
candidate of the vets. or drys, or any
faction of the Republican party. I
announce my candidacy at the earn
est solicitation of the best people in
Topeka. 1 am backed by the large
factory and wholesale interests, the
large financial and educational instf-
tutions and progressive retail estab-
lishments. And 1 am especially en-
couraged by my friends the Santa Fe
shopmen, large numbers of working
men and host of others, who are in
terested in seeing Topeka reach 49,
900 to 100000 population within the
next five years.
Personal History.
To those who are not acquainted with
me will say that 1 have lived in Topeka
all my life and believe L am acquainted
with the needs of the city. 1 am a pro-

THAT VEXING STREET LIGHT.
Citizen Who Was Innocent Cause Of
Controversy Makes an Explanation.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
| 1 see by a report of the proceedings
| of the committee on ways and means
| of the city council that Mr.. Swendson
accused Mr.. Green of playing politics
| because he presented a petition by re-
quest of one of our citizens for a street
light on corner of Wayne and Twelfth
streets.
simple statement as to how this petit
ton came into the hands of Mr.. Green
for presentation, 1 think it will show
that an accusation of that kind does
not hold good; but upon the other
hand, does look much like Mr. Swend-
son wanted to take. advantage of a
simple act of courtesy. to make a little
political capital for himself 1t looks
much like the last despairing effort of
drowning man catching at a straw.
In presenting our petition at this
time we well knew that we were up
against a hard proposition, and, real
izing this fact. 1 took it upon myself
to first try and pave the way in order
that we might get a fair hearing
1 had talk with one councilman
from whom I got no Encouragement. I
next spent about two hours trying to
find Chas- Holiday, but failed to find
him, and being unacquainted person.
ally with any of the councilmen and
not knowing where to find any of Them
next went to Mr.. Green as I knew of
his place of business. He gave me no
more encouragement than did the other
party, but on the contrary explained
to me the condition of the plant and
that it would be next to impossible to
get an additional light at this time He
did state, however, that from my state
ment. he thought we We're justly enti-
tied to a light. which was the only en-
enlargement he gave me. 1 said to him
that all 1 would ask of him would be
to assist us in getting a hearing; that
he promised to do. Could he have done
less?
1t was not intended that MIR. Green
or any ether councilman should present
this petition. We desired to present the
petition ourselves and make a direct
personal appeal to the council, but it so
happened that the party who had the
petition in his possession, being down
town late in the afternoon on Monday
and being himself unable TO b. out at
night. and anxious to have it presented
at that meeting, took it to Mr.. Green
without consulting anyone, simply be-
cause he was acquainted with him.
When found out it was then too late
to recall It.
In my talk with Mr.. Green politics
was not mentioned. He did not even
ask If there was vote cut in our
neighborhcod for him, nor did L tell
him. Does that look like Mr. Green
had any selfish motives in view? If
political gain was his object, he was
certainly very modest.
Was Mr.. Swendson vexed because the
petition not given to him for presenta-
ton? Why should it been given to
him, since a like petition was present.
ed year and a half ago and still we
have no light? That said petition is still
ser enely sleeping in the arms of Nor
pheus, and to our knowledge no effort
has ever been made to awaken it on his

HOLIDAY IN RACE
Announces His Candidacy for
Mayor Today.
Promises to Devote His Time to
the Office.

January 26. 1901

lFrom the Topeka state Journal of
January 26. 1901
Topeka. Kan, Jan. 26, 1907
10 the Voters of Topeka:
l have the honor to announce my
canoldacy for mayor subject to the
Is, 1907
The year 1907 promises to be a ban
ner year for Topeka. There are enough
good things in sight, if properly ham
dled, encouraged and pushed to make
TINS year memorable one in the
growth and. development of the city
IL nominated and elected 1 will do
everything in my power to push To-
peka constantly to the front, and will
see to 1t that Topeka gets everything
that is coming to her.
While it is my intention, if elected,
to go after everything in sight for To-
peka, L guarantee, as far as any act
or my administration is concerned,
that the tax rate of the city will not
be raised On the contrary, it viii be
my aim and ambition to make the tax
rate lower if possible, and give the
people a good clean, economical ad-
ministratiOn. To accomplish this, new
sands of new people must be brought
to Topeka. What has been accom-
plished in the building up of a new
Topeka in the three years since 1903.
can be more than duplicated before
1911. Let us work together and do it.
Again, if elected, the Office of mayor
Will be open during the business hours
of the day. and the mayor will be at
his desk every working day of the
year transacting city business. All will
be welcome and none will be denied
hearing.
Will Enforce All Laws.
While as a citizen and while in the
council as legislative officer, 1 voted
against the prohibtory law. because
did not believe such a law practical in
the larger cities of Kansas, still If 1
am elected, as an administrative Of
fcer, 1 will enforce all the laws and
give Topeka a good, clean administra-
ton.
The case of the State VS.. Mayor
Rose of Kansas City, Kan, should for
ever set at rest the idea that city Off
Gals can collect a tax from the liquor
traffic, even in communities where
such a tax is popular. This being
true, / see no reason for the existence
of joints, dives and kindred evil places
in any city in Kansas, when a high
licensed, police regulated saloon, even
if desired by the majority, is an utter
impossibility. Hence, if elected, will
certainly see to, it that such places do
not exist in Topeka.
AS police commissioner of Topeka
under Governor Morrill, along with
Hon. p. 1. Bonebrake, Rev. S. F. Nc
Cabe and A. K. Rodgers, have had
two years experience in the admins
tration of police affairs and I believe
I know something about the business.

sible for the condition of Topeka from
a police standpoint during my admin
