The livinQ Present.

He that hath so many causes of joy,
and so great, is very much in love with
sorrow and peevishness, who loses all
these pleasures, and chooses to sit
down upon his little handful of thorns.
Enjoy the blessings of this day, if God
sends them; and the evils of it bear
patiently and sweetly; for this day
and we are not yet born to the NOR
row. But if we look abroad and bring
into one days thoughts the evil of
many, certain and uncertain, what
will be and what will never be, our
load will be as intolerable as it is
unreasonable.-Jer Taylor.

Bryan Says He Was Never So We'll
Received in Ohio Before.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. civil
liam ]. Bryan made a brief stop here
at noon today en- route to Terre
Haute. Aboard his car on his journey
from Cincinnati, the Democratic can
didate expressed himself as greatly
pleased with his reception in Ohio.
The news that greeted him and the
enthusiasm shown he said, exceeded
anything he had before experienced
in his campaigns in Ohio. Asked by
one of his friends how he was stand
ing his trip he said:
81 never felt better in my life.'
The only speech between here and
Cincinnati was at Shelbyville, where he
paid a tribute to the late Thomas A.
Hendricks, whom he said, he always
revered as one of Democracy's great
characters. No other stops were made
but Mr.. Bryan several times went out
on the rear platform of his car and
waved his hand to cheering crowds.
So far Mr.. Bryan has not undertaken
the preparation of his reply to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's letter and it is not
probable that he Will do so for day
or more.
Mr.. Bryan was met by John E. Lamb
of the Chicago Democratic headquar-
fers, who went to Terre Haute with
him to preside at the meeting tonight.
and Thomas Taggart, former chairman
of the national committee. A crowd
was awaiting the train in the station
and greeted Mr.. Bryan with cheers
when he appeared on the rear plat
minutes urging support of the Demo-
cratic state ticket as well as the ma
tional ticket and predicted victory for

Chicago, Sept. 25.-While w. j.
Bryan was working his way through
Indiana toward Chicago today and
Governor Haskell, the Democratic
treasurer, was a passenger on a Santa
Fe train bound for the same city,
little was said at Democratic head
quarters concerning charges made
against the national treasurer.
The allegations of President Roose-
welt and William r. Hearst rejecting
on the fitness of the Oklahoma execu-
tive to hold positions of public trust
were not discussed. save in a negative
way with reporters. Josephus Dan
iels, chairman of the Democratic press
committee, had heard nothing, he
said, of any resignation by Governor
Haskell There was a report which
could not be confirmed, that Mr.. Has

its way. from Terre Haute, Ind, to

lief was that the conference between
the two leaders would not take place
until Mr.. Bryan arrives IN this city

ONLY A RIVER BETWEEN.
Cincinnati Playing New York and
Chicago at Brooklyn.

New York, Sept. 25.-With the New
York National league club and the
Chicagoans, who yesterday fought
strenuously at the Polo grounds the
final succeeding game of their series,
playing on either side of the East
river today, the local enthusiasts
were again out in full force. The
Cincinnatis were today's opponents
of the New Yorks and Brooklyn was
entertaining the westerns across the
bridge. With Chicago and Pittsburg
tied in second place and New York s
lead maintained by yesterdays 5 to 4
victory, the followers of the home
team are now speculating as to just
what will be the ultimate fate of
President Pulliam's ruling Wednes-
day making a one to one tie of the
game in which MerkIe is alleged to
have foregone the formality of touch
ing second base when he saw that
Mccormick was home. There is also
much discussion of yesterdays
phantom game. which Chicago claims
was forfeited by New York.
In case the Giants win the pennant
these two games will doubtless soon
lose their interest; but in case New
York needs a game after all, Presi-
dent Pulliam and the directors to
whom formal appeal may be made
will be strongly in the limelight.

CABINET JOINS IN.
Considerable Addition to the Force
Fighting Bryan.

Washington. Sept. 25.-The failure of
the National Bank of Colgate, evoked
much interest among the cabinet Off
cials today in view of William ]. Bry-
ans reference to that institution as an
evidence of the desirability of a law
guaranteeing bank deposits and it was
expected the matter would come before
the cabinet meeting. Referring to the
failure today, Secretary Straus of the
department of commerce and labor,
said:
1T is well for the public to know
what the facts are concerning this
bank. The president of the bank in
question, the International Bank of
Oklahoma, owed the bank something
over $4,000 and the cashier owed about
S4. 800. according to the Southwestern
Banker of Kansas City. Mr.. Whiteson,
the assistant bank commissioner, is
authority for the statement that the
bank was perfectly solid, it's cash and
sight exchange was 60 per cent of its
deposits. In view of the fact that the
officers were indebted to the bank in
the amounts stated when the bank was
permitted to qualify under the guaran-
ty law, it is hard to understand why
the bank was closed for an offense
committed prior to the time it was per-
mitted to operate under the new guar
anty law.
"A telegram dated September 21, re-
ceiVed from the secretary of the bank
board of Oklahoma, says that the bank
commissioner has closed one bank and
the amount withdrawn from the guar
anty fund to pay the claim of deposf-
tors is S24,S43.73, all of which has been
paid back to the guaranty fund from
the liquidation of the assets OF the
closed bank. In other words the bank
was entirely solvent when it was closed.
Why the closing of it was brought
about to make a campaign exhibit l
leave for the public to judge"
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1908-09-25

the question of government ownership
is another confession that he is not
prepared to meet the issues.
Il have been opposing the trusts
ever since I have been in public life
and I am sorry that while he has ac-
cepted the Democratic position on
several questions he still refuses to
accept our party's position on this
subject. Mr.. Taft does not stand for
a single reform that has not been ad-
vocated by Democrats before he took
up the reforms; or to make it more
personal, he has not advocated a re-
form that I have not advocated
earlier and it is hardly fair for him
to say that he can enforce my reforms
better than 1 can myself. If he is go
ing to make his fight on the ground
that he is a reformer, he will have
to confess that he is an imitator, but
as he will make his fight as the repre-
sentative of those interests which are
responsible for the evils which, ac-
cording to Mr.. Taft have crept into
the government I will not accuse him
of borrowing his policies from us
and will promise not to follow in
his footsteps"
Mr.. Bryan departed for Terre
Haute, Ind, at 8:45 o'clock this morn
ing over the Big Four railroad.

FEAR OF CHOLERA.
Seems Likely to Change Plans Regard
ing the BattIeship Fleet.

Manila, Sept. 25.-Following the re-
ceipt of advices from Washington to
the effect that the visit of the Ameri-
can battlship fleet, must be made under
restricted conditions should the city
continue to be infected with cholera to
a dangerous extent, it has now been
proposed to postpone the reception
planned in honor of the officers and
men until the warships return from
Japan. Governor General Smith is ex-
pected to call a conference of his asso-
ciates in the territorial government and
members of the reception committees
tomorrow or Sunday to formally discuss
the advisability of a postponement.
The number of new cases daily are
diminishing and the plague is said to
be not virulent in form, but 1t is feared
that it will be impossible in the short
time available absolutely to cleanse
the city, whereas, if the reception is
postponed the committees will have
full month to rearrange and complete
their plans for the campaign of enter
tainment.

END OF GOOD WEATHER.
Drop to 80 Degrees in Temperature Is
Expected.

Just as well get out the moth balls
ana prepare to lay away your straw
hats, said Assistant Weather Observ-
er Flora, today, for the last of the
pleasant summer-end weather is at
hand. The gale today is typical of the
September gale about which so much
has been written and said and marks
the opening of the early winter storm
period"
The weather map serves to confirm
all that the weather observer has said
for while fierce dust ladden gale has
fallen to this part of the country today
the northwestern country is in the
throes of freezing weather. From the
Dakotas to the Pacific coast the tenn
peratures during the past "a hours
have been below freezing and in many
instances snowstorms have prevailed.
A big drop in the mercury is due in
this part of the country Saturday af-
ternoon or Sunday morning and it is
likely that there will be a difference of
80 degrees between the temperatures
of today and Sunday afternoon. The
gale which is on today marks the
breaking up of the present spell of
beautiful weather and may mean rain
the latter part of this week or the
first of next, with much lower temper
atures. The following were the tenn
peratures in Topeka since O'Clock this
