WAR TO THE KNIFE.
Bryan Attacks Cannon SavageIy in the
Speakers Own District.

Evansville, Ind. Sept. 11.-Heavy
personal onslaughts on Speaker Jo-
seph G. Cannon. of the national house,
were made by w. ]. Bryan in the
course Of his travels through, Illinois
The Democratic candidate attacked
Cannon from all sides. He charged
the speaker with being the ravorite
of predatory corporations; with hav-
ing strangled reform legislation, and
with having falsiffed the facts with re-
gard to Mr.. Bryan's wealth.
Mr. Bryan bided his time before
giving vent to his utterance until he
had reached Speaker Cannon's con-
gressional district, when a ten-minute
stay was made at Toledo, Ill. great
crowd had assembled to hear him and
the Nebraskan Immediately launched
into his Philippe against the speaker.
Moving on from Topeka, Mr.. Bryan
repeated his remarks at Newton, III.
Not content with his statement at
these two places, the Democratic can
didate for president later on at Olney,
ILL.,, where he stayed for three hours,
openly accused the speaker of telling
a falsehood when the speaker fixed
Mr.. Bryan's wealth at a million dol
lars.
Mr.. Bryan referred to what he
said were the many exaggerated
statements in regard to his earthly
possessions, but declared that Mr..
Springfield convention was the first
attempt of a man of political stand
ing or responsibility to estimate these
| possessions. In great detail, Mr..
his money had been acquired from
the day he entered congress until the
| present time He denied en-
| phatically that he was worth a mill
! lion and fixed the amount of his
| earthly possessions at 100000 as
o W
it honestly, he said, through saving
| portion of his congressional salary
and from receipts derived from his
lectures and writings He demanded
| himself and tell the public whether
| he had made any money through
| lecturing and writing and to what
extent his money making had been
hampered by strict attention to pub
| lie duties.
Not since the campaign began has
Mr.. Bryan spoken with such vehe-
mence and it is said to be the first
time that presidential candidate ever
went out of his way to attack a can
| didate for congress.
| The entire day was spent in I'LL
nois and Indiana. Mr.. Bryan made
seven speeches, the places at which
| stops were made being Nation, To-
ledo, Newton and Olney, ILL.,, and
| Evansville, Ind. The heat was almost
unbearable. but the Democrat can
| didate seemed not to be affected by it.
Wherever he went he was met by
large and enthusiastic crowds. Dur
| ing visit to the fair grounds at OIL
ney. ILL.,, he was hailed with acclaims
| OF joy. In Evansville, he spoke on
Shall the People Rule" the tariff,
trust regulation and election of the
senators by direct vote of the people.
Incidentally, he took a parting shot at
Speaker Cannon.

Jewell.
A few of the visitors who came
to Topeka for the state wide fair
have returned to their homes but at
that there is not any more room on
the sidewalks on Kansas avenue
than is needed for comfortable
locomotion.
The street railway company
handled the crowds to the fair
grounds Thursday in good shape all
right, but the service to the base
ball park was entirely 700 meager for
the occasion and the ball park is a
pretty good revenue for the street
car company six months out of the
year. er@
The Blanchard Construction COM
pany OF Topeka was awarded the con-
tract Thursday for the erection of the
engineering building at the State uni
Versity, Lawrence. The contract calls
for an expenditure of $4,000. The
bid of the Blanchard Construction
company being the lowest of eight bids
the contract was awarded to the To-
peka firm.
Judge ]. T. Flannelly of the Mont
gomery county district court came up
from his home at Independence yes
terday to take in the fair and meet
his many friends in Topeka. Judge
Flannelly was admitted to the Shaw
nee county bar many years ago along
with Judge Dana, Ed McKeever, Tom
Doran and other we'll known Topeka
lawyers, and like them has made good
in his profession.

POLITICAL GOSSIP
Governor HOch Opposes the
Judges" Amendment.
Should Not Be Candidates While
on the Bench He Says.
THAT SPECIAL SESSION
One May Be Necessaryif Amend
ment Carries.
Republican Committee Orders
Copies of Atwood Letter.

Governor Hoch is opposed to the
theory that district judges should be
allowed to run for office while hold
ing a position on the bench, and he
will likely advocate the defeat, at the
November election, Of the proposed
constitutional amendment which is CAL
culated to accomplish that object.
If the amendment is not defeated
it may mean a special session of the
legislature, for under this amendment
no judge can receive any fees or per-
quisites in addition to his salary. The
probate judges of the state have fig
ured it out that thew would not be
able to draw anything but a nominal
salary for handling the drug store
liquor business. Most of the probate
judges income Is from fees, and the
amendment would shut off that source
of income In order to get the thing
Strengthened out, a special session
would have to be held before the new
probate Judges take office in jan
uary.

today, that this amendment means
that judges shall be allowed to run

The Republican state central COM
mittee has ordered 10000 copies of the
Atwood letter recommending the dis
reimbursement Of negroes to be printed
for circulation as campaign docu-
ment. 1t is proposed to put a copy of
this circular into the hands of every
negro in Kansas, for the purpose of
prejudicing the negro vote against
Democracy. 1t would appear from Mr..
Atwood's position that the Democrats
prefer to make their fight without the
aid of negro voters.
Mrs. Jerry Simpson is making a per-
sonal campaign throughout the Sew

Mrs. Simpson visited Medicine Lodge
few days ago, the home of Simpsons
chief political adversary, Senator Long
and while there sold 100 copies of the
book. She is being received with great
cordiality by the Seventh district peo-
pie, and Republicans, as we'll as the

would suggest to the fruit and
vegetable growers, first, never ship
your products to a commission mer-
chant until you have made satisfac-
tory inquiry as to his honesty and
ability to handle them.
Second, after you have fully salts.
fled yourself of the fact that you have
the right commission merchant, ship
your products to him solid. Do not
divide your shipments between two or
more houses in the same market, as
by so doing you bring your goods in
competition with themselves and you
also show lack of confidence in all
the houses you are shipping to.
Third, always put up your fruits and
vegetables in neat, new packages. 1t

dilapidated packages of any kind, be-
cause the cost is few cents less.
Good fruit will often look poor in old

ones.
Fourth select your products care
fully, making as many grades as may
be necessary and packing each grade
separately, putting distinguishing
mark on each package Of different
grade. Never top up your stuff by put
ting poor or inferior grades in the bot
tom or center of the package and
good on top. This is fraud, and If
you expect honesty from your COM

the example of being honest yourself

your dishonesty in robbing the pur-
chaser of your fraudulently packed

Garden Beans.

Garden beans in the United States
are of more than 1856 distinct types
and are sold under more than 400
varietal names Surely, the American
bean grower can find somewhere in
this list the kind Of bean that suits
him. Beans differ greatly as to the
qualities they possess, and sometimes
the bean that is less attractive in ap.
pearance has the greatest value for
the table. Probably the bean Is about
as little understood as to its require.

SOIL NEED OF OXYGEN.
Reason Why Decay Of Vegetable Mat
ter Depends Upon Air Supply.

The first condition for the changing
Of green plant remains into useful ma
nure Is an abundance of air, says Prof.
Charles L. Penny of the Delaware sta
ton. Much of the benefit OF tillage
must be ascribed to the need OF fur
nishing oxygen to the heterogeneous
of the soil, which in turn use 1t to OK
idize protein to nitrates. Anything,
whether the nature of the SOIL its po.
sition as to drainage or its treatment,
that prevents the access of air to de-
caying organic matter, will retard or
prevent this useful process of oXida-
ton, and so will leave a peat-like mat
ter, useless as food for new vegeta-
ton. The vegetable remains OF
marshes covered wholly or partly by
water accumulate for years with lit
tie decomposition and that little at
tended by the escape of nitrogen rath-
er than by it's oxidation to nitrates.
Land that has standing water for
much Of the time Is unfavorable to
nitrifcation, as there is not sufficient
free circulation of air. In such low
lying lands, often of a black color,
fragments of plants frequently remain
undecomposed for long time, A stiff
compact soil retards decay for SINH
lar reason, whereas in porous, well
titled soil, fragments of plants dis
appear very rapidly. The soil of for
ests lacks the nitrifying ferment and
is almost free from nitrates, because
the bed of moss and fallen leaves ex-
cludes the air from the deeper layers
of such remains, and so prevents oxi-
dalton. Thus 1t is that the submerged
vegetation of marshes, and to less
extent much Of the vegetation OF per-
manently wet lands, passes into a
form in which it changes very little
and becomes practically Inert matter,
so far as plant nutrition is concerned.
A saturated wet soil has the further
disadvantage not only that no nitrates
are formed but also that nitrates al
ready present are rapidly reduced and
lost

GOOD PASTURES.
The Part They Play In Maintaining

We have had little experience with

results. am very glad to get the
wok's OF a writer in one of our very
valuable exchanges where he says:
Our whole philosophy of a good pas
ture may be summed up in this Get
your land so full of the valuable
grasses that weeds can with difficulty
find Judgment, and can not grow even
if they get a start by reason Of the
shading by the tame grasses. Remem-
Der the old Scotchman's remark: If
you keep the bushel full of wheat, there
Is no room for chaff.'
Rape as a cover crop would pre-
vent many of our loose soils from
blowing during the winter and also
hold the winter SHOWS. Altogether /
fully believe it would mean much If
practiced. especially on our early
plowed fields. Where one has sheep
1t would also furnish much good late
pasture. This matter of cover crops
is being studied and put in practice
largely in the east, where they feel the
need of fertility more. Why should
we not profit by their experience and
begin earlier and keep up our fertility
while our soils are comparatively
rich?

of smashing them against the steel
sides of the battleship and the little
craft were sent scurrying inside the
breakwater into the Pasig river where
they remained all night. The storm
quickly increased in intensity and the
torrential rains shut in the ships.
At eight o'clock Sunday night the
storm had reached it's height and ii
then gradually tapered down until at
midnight it was comparative calm al
though heavy seas swung across the
harbor.
During the storm all the battleships
had steam up ready for any emer

ordered the flagship Connecticut ano
the Kansas, Minnesota, Vermont, Vir
ginia and Ohio under way. They were
close to the breakwater and Admiral
Sperry feared they might drag
anchors. The six vessels steamed
down close to Cavite where they
anchored.
At times the wind blew at the rate
of 100 miles all nour, all communities

Think of the Farm.

There are several sides to the dairy
question Almost always we think Of
the side that relates to the dollars and
cents we expect to get out Of the bust
ness now, forgetting that there is
far more important way of looking at
it. We have the satisfaction of know
ing that the man who engages in
dairying does not skin his farm and
give give the hide away. Every year
hens putting back good share Of the
fertility he takes out of his land in
the form of grass, corn and other
soiling crops. This is not the case
with the man who raises grain exclu-
sively. keeping little If any stock, and
selling his farm bare year after year,
until 1t will produce little or nothing.
