Last year this exposition was lin
tied to corn and over 900 were dis
tributed in prizes. The great inter-
est shown in this work and the pop
ular demand for such an exposition
has led the managers to include all
of the small grains in the exposition.
The association has set aside $780,
600 to be distributed to Colorado ex-
hibitors. Let us get together and
raise fund to be added to this sum
and make it worthy of our great state.
With our grains and grasses we
come in open competition with every
state in the Union. If we can give
the proper encouragement and all put
their shoulders to the wheel. there is
no reason why Colorado products
should not lead in this great agricul-
tural exhibit and win her share of
the laurels. 1t is for every one of us
to push this great worF for it is
through this means only that we can
convince the world of our wonderful
resources.
Every farmer should prepare a por-
ton of his land and cror with the in
tention of making record breaking
exhibit. We are confident that we
can lead all other stations in agricul-
tural products.
F. knorr of the Agricultural Col
leSe OF Fort Collins, has been elected
as vice president of the National
Corn Exposition for Colorado. Any
information in regard to exhibits will
be cheerfully given.

OIL REFINERY
FOR THIS CITY
JohnstoWn Company. Oppon-
ents of Standard Oil, May
Enter Local Field.
REPRESENTATIVES HERE.
CONFER WITH COMMITTEE FROM
SOUTH SIDE IMPROVEMENT AS
ISOLATION IN REGARD TO A
PROBABLE SITE.

1t is almost an assured fact that a
branch of the Johnstown Refinery
company. the new corporation formed
not long ago to compete with the Stan
dard Oil company, will locate a branch
in this city. Several weeks ago this
company opened negotiations with the
South Side Improvement association
to secure a site in the Beallview ad-
dition. After some correspondence the
matter was apparently dropped, but
yesterday agents of the company ar
rived here and inspected the propOs-
ed site for the branch and appeared
to be greatly pleased with it, They
met with AdOlph Blickwedel and Cash
Beall of the South Side Improvement
association, who informed them that
it was quite probable the directors OF
the association. when the question
was brought 10 their attention. would
donate tract of land in the Beall-
view addition. The agents of the com
pany intimated that if such action was
taken by the dirIct plant would
be established on the site.
This morning lIr. Blickwedel stated
that the site the association contem-
plates donating to the Johnstown Re
finery company is located on the c. c.
& l.. railroad at the corner Of South
Eighth and \ streets. 1t comprises
six lots.
Mr.. Blickwedel says that the Johns
town Refinery company desired to
place two large oil tanks and a ware
house in this city. He said that the
company was now engaged in locating
branches in all the important cities in
this section of the country and that
the company promises to be a most
aggressive competitor of America s
greatest trust.
If a local branch is established IL
will not give employment to many men
but it is expected that the branch will
transact a large amount of business
and that it will be the means of ma
terially increasing the freight business
of this city.
Mr.. Blickwedel states that the South
Side Improvement association has two
or three other projects under consid-
GRAFTON but that at the present time
he cannot state what the nature of
these are

Will Run for Congress as In
dependent Republican
Candidate.
SAYS IT is HIS DUTY.
HE CLAIMS THAT HE SHOULD
NOT SUBMIT TO SUCH HIGH
HANDED METHODS AS THOSE
WHICH DEFEATED HIM.

Washington, D. c.. May 29.-After
fully considering the decision render
ed by the board of election in refusing
to recognize the regularity of the con-
committee. I have decided to become
an independent republican candidate
to succeed myself" said Representa-
tive J. E. Harding, of the Third Ohio
Congressional District Il recognize
about to take. but the decision of the
board of elections is. in my Judgment,
entirely contrary to the facts and the
law, and l owe it to my constituents
not to submit to such high-handed
methods.
Il do not inted to be a candidate as
an independent republican simply to
defeat the man who happens to be the
regular nominee Of the party, but
believe that the time has arrived when
lne people are ready 10 rise up "ltn-
out regard to political affiliation and
rebuke the machine methods of those
who are in control of the organizations
of both parties. AS evinced by the
alignment of the members of the board
of elections. the bosses of both parties
were in accord and are seeking to
prevent fair expressions of the will of
the people.
The issues that will be invested in
my campaign go to the very founda-
tion of republican form Of govern
ment, and l intend to make a cam
paign against corrupt methods in the
parties with the end in view of giving
the voters an opportunity to express
their real sentiment"

SALE OF ROAD
BONDS MAY DRAG
Not Likely That There Will Be
Crush of Bidders for
Them.
TWO ROADS ARE INVOLVED.
BOTH SOUTH L STREET AND THE
WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP GRAV-
Ell ROAD WILL BE BUILT
THROUGH SALE OF BONDS.

When bonds to meet the cost Of the
Washington and Wayne township gra-
vel roads are issued by the county,
it probably will be found that there
will be no great crush of bidders pre-
sent Yesterday a representative of
an Indianapolis financial concern that
buys and sells gravel road bonds was
at the court house investigating the
local cages and he informed the Off
GERS that though gravel road bonds
are not drag on the market, that it
is difficult for counties to sell them at
par. The bonds bear 4 II per cent in
terest per annum, but as they are held
TO be taxable, they are not considered
desirable investments if bought at par.
Wayne county must sell the bonds
when the issue is authorized at par,
yet the company that buys them will
as a matter of fact probably pay less
than par. 1t has been the rule in
most counties for the contractors
who are awarded the construc-
ton work or the persons most
interested in having a road built or
improved, to pay per cent toward the
bonds, the company purchasing them
paying the remaining 95 per cent.
Thus a margin of profit is given and
the bonds can be sold in small lots at
prices that will net the buyers about
) per cent.
The South l. street project upon
which the report of the viewers will
come up for the consideration of the
commissioners Monday, is notable in
that the estimate for the improvement
is in excess of s17500. When it is
considered that only little more than
half mile of road is to be improved,
the cost is regarded as very heavy.
There seems to be no question that
the cost has been rightly estimated,
but there are doubts expressed as to
whether the road will be worth the
high cost or not. The expense will
have to be met by the township of
Wayne, which means that all taxpay-
ers must contribute toward it.

MENT AS FINAL BUT OTHERS
ARE NOT OF THIS OPINION.

Indianapolis May 29,-In spite Of
his denials and the statements by his
friends that he will have none of it,
Indianapolis politicians and republi-

banks, vice president of the United
States, will accept a denomination for

some of them, favor taking Mr. Fair
banks refusal as final, but others. who
agree that Mr. Fairbanks would fit in

TARIFF ON WOOD
PULP WILL STAND
Majority Report to National
House Does Not Favor
Disturbance.
TWO REPORTS PRESENTED.
MINORITY REPORT FAVoRs THE
PASSAGE OF THE STEVENS
B!LL-MATTER WILL BE GIVEN
FURTHER CONSIDERATION.
TWO REPORTS PRESENTED.

Washington, May 29.-The special
house appointed upon the complaint of
the American Newspaper Publishers
pulp and print paper situation in rela-
ton to the tariff and with regard to
an alleged conspiracy in restraint of
trade has submitted a majority and a
minority report.
The majority report, signed by Rep
resentatives Mann, of Illinois; Miller
of Kansas; Stafford. Of Wisconsin, and
legislation be not enacted before the
committee has investigated further.
The minority report, signed by Repre-
sentatives Sims. of Tennessee and
Ryan, of New York. recommends the
passage of the Stevens bill to place
wood pulp and print paper on the free
list.
The majority report is summed up
in the following words:
LAS the present price Of paper would
not be Immediately affected to any
considerable degree by the repeal of
the tariff, and as the passage of the
Stevens bill in its present form might
spell ruin to the paper industry and
ruinously high prices for paper in the
1,o1
it the part of wisdom before making
recommendations for positive legisla-
ton to wait until its investigation has
been completed and thoroughly di-
gested."
No Proof Of Combination.
AS to the charge that combination
exists in restraint of trade the report
says:
The evidence before the committee
so far fails to prove any ombination
Of print paper manufacturers to ad-
vance prices or otherwise in restraint
of trade, but considerable evidence
was presented which might excite sus-
picion that such a combination had
been made and was in existence.
Can't See immediate Effect.
The evidence taken so far would
seem to indicate that the temporary
suspension or entire removal OF the
present tariff would not have any
great immediate effect. and if the tar
.iff is removed at any time it should
be coupled with the right TO free ex-
portation of wood pulp from the Can
adian forests. The removal of the tar
iff on print paper and wood pulp, if
followed by an export duty on pulp
wood coming from Canada, probably
would result in a considerable increase
in the price of print paper and the
early destruction of the pulp-wood for
ests in the United States.
Your committee proposes during
the summer vacation to continue it's
Investigations and expects to be able
to present TO the house at the next ses-
sion of congress definite recommends
tions, based upon complete informa-
ton thoroughly considered"
The minority report indorses the
Stevens bill requiring removal of tar
if in its entirety and recommends its
passage.

there is a loophole for it's being con-
strued in another way in the event of
certain contingencies occurring. That
is where the services of an expert
word juggler are indispensable.
1.-THE biggest case that ever heard
of in this line was few months ago,
when one of the great corporations
wished to issue some mortgage bonds
against it's property. A long contract
had to be drawn and the wording on
the back of the bond had to be decid-
ed upon. The matters was so import
ant that after the attorneys them
selves had decided on the forms to be
used, it was turned over to two of
these experts in verbiage.
They looked up the dictionary
meaning of practically every word
used in the two documents and made
innumerable changes and suggestions.
Before the papers were finished 80
different drafts of each of the two
documents had been made, and there
was not a word used in the final form
of the papers that had not been con-
sidered carefully, not only as to its
individual meaning, but also as to its
individual relation to the other words
of the phrase or sentence containing
it, 1t is safe to say that these two
documents are never likely to be as
sailed successfully in a court of law.
and that they mean exactly what the
corporation and its counsel wished
them to mean.'-New York Press.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1908-10-12

creased the Republican majority in the
legislature over what it was two years
ago.
THE fact is that the Republican leg
islatures during the past four years
have made such a splendid record for
beneficial legislation that there is moth
ing much left sfor. the next session to
do. 1T will pass the bank deposit guar
santy law, of course, and that will be
about all the really important legisla-
ton left for the present. Some of, the
laws which have been passed at the
last two sessions may be amended to
correct defects which have presented
themselves, but that is about, all that
is necessary. Look at the platforms
of the two parties in this state-it is
really remarkable to see how they had
to scratch around to find anything to
recommend and indorse as the neces-
sary actions of the coming legislature.
The bank deposit guaranty bill was
about the only thing, and. they both
recommended that.
.'The people of the. state know what
the last two Republican legislatures
have done, and don't believe that they
will consent to transfer the legislative
authority to the Democratic party As
long as the Republican legislatures con-
tinue to make such remarkable record
for excellent work, the people of Kan
sas will continue to elect Republican
legislatures"

Legal Word Specialists.

"some people seem to think that an
important legal document can be
drawn up by a. lawyer in the time it
takes his client to smoke a cigar" re-
marked a gray-haired law clerk the
other day. at takes time and the
most scrupulous care to get things just
right If lawyers were not careful. the
Lord only knows where the clients
would land.
"Why, 1 know a man in one of the
great law offices who is a specialist in
the exact shade of meaning of each
word or phrase used in a legal docu-

document, however, and has submit

there is practically no chance of its not
