With the near approach of the New
Year, ways and means must be pro-
vided whereby one may be able to
keep track of the fast fleeting days
For this purpose calendars have been
made.
In purchasing them one should use
judgment and good taste, as they are
to be ones companion for 365 success
sive days. Besides, the making of
beautiful calendars has been a fine
art, and many Of them are worth pre-
serving
AS it is becoming more customary
to exchange small remembrances on
New Years, a happy suggestion is to
offer a calendar. The assortment in
the various shops is quite large and
varied, and runs from the small brass
desk calendars to the large, really
decorative wall adornments.
A pretty sample of art is found in
one oblong cardboard decorated with a
landscape in water color. with a small
calendar attached to one corner. The
beauty of this one is that the art is
really worth preserving, and can, aft
er the expiration of the year, be
framed.

err a discussion which will be contin-
ued as long as it is possible to post
pone final action.
This measure accehtuates the differ
ences that exist in the senate between
the conservatives and the radicals, al
though a number of senators who ia
vor the bill ordinarily would be class
ed with the older group and not aligned
with the radicals. When the postal
savings bank bill first came up for con-
sideration Mr.. Aldrich. who for years
has been the recognized republican
leader of the senate. believed it could
be defeated. Recent events, however.
suggest that the Rhode Island senator
has seen a new light, and that he has
been compelled to admit that the fore
es advocating the measure are superior
to those which can be mustered against
it,
Mr.. Aldrich and his lieutenants will
make a strong fight for continued SEN
ate leadership when the next congress
convenes, and he is determined moth
ing shall be done at this session cal
culated to shear him of any of his pres
tige as the controlling factor in that
body. 1t is believed he has canvassed
the senate and knows the postal saw
ings bank bill will pass. Therefore,
he will not go to the extreme of an
tagonizing it. but will use his influ-
ence to have it amended in some mate
rial particulars If he is successful in
this maneuver, the credit for the final
shape of the measure will be given him
and the postal savings bank law will
be, so far as any such law could be,
in accordance with his desires.
Eastern senators generally are OPP
posed to postal savings banks as inim-
ical to the general banking system OF
the country. Western senators are
urging it as necessary aid to the
masses of the people as giving them a
safe depository for their funds. whence
they can be drawn in times of stress
Two or three of the old-line senators
from the west. who would not permit
themselves to be classed as radicals
are favoring the measure because it is
demanded by their people. and the loss
of these men who ordinarily rally to
his standard has convinced Mr.. Aldrich
apparently. that resistance to the bill
is useless.

HOhAN LEADS
IN THE RACE
Almost Sure to Be Chosen Pre-
siding Officer of the
indiana House.
HE HAS MANY PLEDGES
MADE PREDICTION FOUR YEARS
AGO THAT THE REPUBLICANS
WOULD SOON OCCUPY THE
"cHERokEE STRIP"

Indianapolis, Ind. Dec. 2S.-Repre-
sentative Thomas Honan. of Seymour.
is sure of his election as Speaker of
the House in the next legislature. He
is not boasting, but he says that he
has more than enough votes pledged
to win.
II will not have any trouble unless
the members who are pledged to me
change their minds" he said.
Honan declares that he wrote let
tiers to the Democratic members some
time ago announcing his candidacy
and asking their support. Twenty re-
piled at once. assuring him positively
that they will vote for him. He need
ed but 81 to win. and since then he
has been successful in getting the re-
quired number.
Many party leaders believe that
Honan will not have further opposi
ton. All OF the candidates are
friendly to him, and 1t is not thought
that they will go ahead with their
contest under the existing circum-
stances.
Honan Is Neutral.
There have been rumors that Honan
was the candidate of the Taggart ma
chine. but he denies them He asserts
that he has refused to declare himself
for any candidate for the Senate be-
cause he doesn't want to give any one
a chance to charge him with having
a combination.
IL is said that the same forces that
are backing Kern for Senator are for
Honan, but the latter has no alliance
with Kern. 1t is said that he could
not have one handily because Judge
Joe Shea, of Seymour. one of his clos
est friends, is managing Shively's
race.
Honan is getting some satisfaction
out of a, prediction he made in the
House four years ago. AS the result
of the Roosevelt landslide. the Demo
Gratis elected but 10 members of the
House. II was the smallest represen-
tation they ever had there
Honan was floor leader then and
made the most of bad situation. He
was SIOStA 10 present the name OF
Shively for Senator against Senator

He made a short but clever speech.
In the midst of it he deviated from the
newspaper copies long enough to be-
come a prophet.
Turning to the little bunch of Demo
Gratis, he declared that they were few,
but mighty.
But We. of the Cherokee strip will
grow and multiply, said Honan.
Some time in the not far distant fu-
ture you Republicans will have to be-
come occupants of our Cherokee
strip"
Honan's prediction came true soon
er than he expected Some of the
Republicans who were members dur
ing the session four years ago are
now recalling what Honan said.

HOT FOR RIOTERS
Almost Anybody i'm the Mob Is Liable
to Indictment.

Springfield. Ill. Aug. ia grand
jury investigation of a breadth that
will startle the citizens of Springfield
and Sangamon county, has been out
lined by States Attorney Hitch. The
inQuisition will begin tomorrow AFTER
noon. No indictments will be sought
by the states attorney for alleged
rioting.
The charges that will be brought
against the suspected active partici-
pants IN the lawlessnesS will be MUIR
der, arson, robbery and grand lar
ceny. In addition attempts will be
made to indict the less active members
of the mob. A section of the riot act
of Illinois provides that standing by
and encouraging" acts of lawlessness
shall be considered penal offenses and
under this all persons who added to
the chaos of Friday and Saturday by
yelling or applauding the acts or the
rioters are liable to indictment and
upon conviction imprisonment In the
state penitentiary.
IT is said this later phase of the IN
vestigation is expected to cause some
sensations when the grand jury makes
its report. Altogether some fifty or
more cases will be brought before the
grand jury and if the expectations of
the states attorney are fulfilled sew
eral hitherto respected citizens will
find themselves called upon to face
serious charges in the criminal court

AFTER-TOPEKA CAPITAL
ATHEIST 16.

THE 190s-1909 theatrical season in
Topeka will open at the Grand theater
tomorrow night and Manager Roy
Crawford last evening gave out list
of the attractions so far booked for
the ensuing season.
Shakespeare and other classical at
tractions-those the lovers of other
kinds of plays like to denominate as
high browed-have conspicuous
part in the list of bookings. These
plays will be presented by some of the
foremost actors. On the whole, the list
is about the strongest list of bookings
ever announced, this early in the sea-
son. for any Topeka theater.
Besides the shows which will be
great attractions on account of the
names of the great actors and ac-
tresses starring in them, Topeka will
get a good many that have become
famous simply as shows.
"Musically, the booking announced
present an unusually fine list of at
fractions"

that there had been such a demand
for him to speak in all parts of the
country that it had been decided that
he was too good an asset for speaking
purposes to admit of his being tied
down to official work.
Under the original plans Senator
Borah was to have offices in Chicago
and undertake to block out the west
ern country into areas and shape the
speaking policies for each section ac-
cording to the issues therein while
General Coleman Dupont of Delaware,
who has his office at the New York
headquarters would look after the ma
chinery of the borough. Senator
Borah is to make several speeches in
the early campaign in the eastern
states, but has agreed to remain here
for a time and get the speakers bu-
reau organized for the west. He will
be assisted in this work by Colonel &C.
ell A. Lyon of Texas. A director of
the work will be named later. Rev.
DIR. John Wesley Hill of New York,
who will open the speaking campaign
in Vermont left for the east today.
A plan for the gathering of cam
paign funds in the various states was
formulated at a conference today. The
national committeeman in each state
will be authorized to select treasurer
for his state who will be a financial
agent This agent is to solicit and col
lect campaign contributions which are
to be turned over to Mr.. Sheldon the
national treasurer or Mr. Upham. the
assistant treasurer. The disburse-
ments in the states will be made un-
der the direction of the state chair
! man. Mr.. Hitchcock and several of
his assistants left Chicago this after
ceremonies connected with the notifi-
90 tiop n; Mr. Sherman.
