ATTACKS ROOSEVELT.
Congressman Harrison Takes q Fling
at the President.

Washington, March 19.-An attack
upon President Roosevelt for the
manner in which he has conducted
the affairs of the Panama canal zone
was made in the house today by Mr..
Harrison, On. Y.) His remarks were
based on a resolution reported by the
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce calling on the president to
inform the house by what authority
of law he had exercised the function
OF government in the canal zone since
the expiration Of the 58th congress.
Mr. Harrison opened by saying: ST
charge the president of the United
states with exceeding his authority
and charge the Republican majority
OF this house with negligence and
carelessness in their conduct of the
government.
Mr.. Tawney (Minn.) defended the
president and the members of the
house. Mr.. Harrison declared that
the president had acted under the adj
vice of his attorney general.
After considerable discussion the
resolution was adopted.

HALF FAIR MONEY

Is Subscribed.
Committee Expects Little Diff

PEOPLE ARE ANXIOUS.
PEOPLE ARE ANXIOUS,

Means a Great Deal to Topeka
and Kansas.

A meeting of the various committees
which are soliciting funds for the State
Wide State Fair met at the Hotel
Throop for lunch today and for the fur
Their purpose of reporting progress.
The aggregation is a hopeful one and
every member of the committee believes
that the required fund will be raised
in short time.
"Au there is to it," said H. A. Heath
of the Kansas Farmer and one of the
working members of the committee, lis
to see the men who are expecting to
give. Everyone that have met is en-
thusiastic and willing to give accord
ing to his means and that is frequently
not the case when funds are being
solicited for a public enterprise. Well
win out in a walk and my honest guess
is that we will have money to spare
over and above the $4,000 required by
the county commissioners before they
will make the levy to raise $4,000
more"
About $500 was realized by the eff
forts of the committee this morning
and this with the sums already sub
scribed brings the total up to within
a few dollars of the $4,000 mark or half
of the required amount. The commit
tees will commence their work again
early tomorrow morning and hope to
latter part of the week or during the
early days of next week.
In speaking of the work of the vari-
Gus committees Secretary Poole of the
Commercial club said:
1.-THE soliciting committee for the
state fair fund report much enthus-
iasm on the part of the people for a
state fair, the permanent establishment
of which is assured, provided the city
of Topeka does its part in the initial
effort which is now being so vigorous
ly pushed. The necessity and the
great advantage of a state fair to be
held annually in Topeka is obvious to
everyone and the only wonder is that
it has not already become one of the
institutions of the state and the city
of Topeka. About $4,000 has been
subscribed in this behalf and it is past
any doubt but the state fair will be
held this year, and will be the begin
ming of a permanently established an
nua1 state fair.
"Other states make of their state
fairs great successes and these fairs
are a financial success. They receive
state appropriation and the profits
together with the appropriations have
resulted in permanent improvements
nthe towns where they are located of
hundreds of thousands of dollars and
in one instance of more than 100000.
The subscriptions asked for are to be
paid in instruments to be- called for as
needed
Following are the subscriptions up

"The sunfiower,' said a naturalist.
"is the most deceitful Of all plants,
for It has fooled six nations.
"Six nations believe that the sun
flower turns toward the sun, and 50
thoroughly are they deluded that they
call 1t by a name which bears witness
to their error.
Thus the French call the sunfower
tournesol. The Spanish call is gira-
sol. The Italians call 1t girasole. The
Hungarians call # naptoforge. Each Of
these words means turn to the sun. The
English and Americans don't go quite
that far in admitting themselves to be
the plants dupes. They only call II
sunnower. They mean by that, though
quite as much as the other names i'm
ply. The belief is general among six
nations that the sunflower turns with
the sun and always faces the ium.n-
ary.
As 4 matter Of fact there IL only
one flower that turns or keeps with the
sun-Aamely. the sun spurge.
