IS THIS CLEAR?
Beer Advertising on Topeka's Bill
Boards

The beer advertising on Topeka's
billboards is an insult to the senti-
ment of the city. Not being able to get
into the newspapers, these advertisers
faunt our laws and go to billboards.-
Topeka State Journal, August s, 1908.
Mr.. Crawford, owner of the bill
boards and the Grand. Majestic and
Air Dome theaters of Topeka, prompt
ly sent word to the State Journal this
morning that if this sort of thing con-
tinued in these columns that he would
withdraw all his theatrical advertising
for all his theaters.
The State Journal has to say that
such threats have no "terrors'' here.
Mr.. Crawford pays for and gets ad-
vertising space in this paper, but such
advertising does not carry with it the
suppression or expression of opinion on
matters or subjects of commercial con-
cern to the advertiser. We hope this
is plain and explicit. This paper is
obliged at times, however unpleasant,
to go counter to the views of some OF
it's biggest advertisers, but it must and
will be unthrottled. No advertiser. big
or little, has any mortgage or control
over the opinions of the paper.
The view expressed Saturday. and
quoted today, is the correct opinion OF
the State Journal. and the withdrawal
or continuance of Mr. Crawford's en-
tire advertising. cannot. should not and
will not change such opinion

where MONEY Went.
Thaw Makes a Statement Regarding
Expenses of His Trial.

Poughkeepsie. n. Y, Aug. 10
From his cell in the county Jail here,
Harry K. Thaw has given out the fol-
lowing statement concerning the
claims filed against him by various
lawyers. which he asserts, forced him
into bankruptcy:
In the per / read that Mr..
O'Reilly makes a claim for more mon
ey. That is matter for former Gov
ernor Stone. my counsel in Pittsburg
to take charge of. There seems no
reason for me to discuss the claims
and therefore 1 have nothing more to
say except regarding one fact.
THE sums already expended and the
names of the lawyers and others to
whom 1 paid the money were clearly
stated in the newspapers There is
only this much to add: Besides the
heavy total of about s417.0OO that I
paid out myself, my mother paid our
family physician and gave about $47,-
500 additional to Mr.. Hartridge, MAX
ing $1o5.000 received by his firm prior
to April 16. 1907.
MY mother also made a present of
s25,000 to Mr.. Delmas. This made,
with his actual fee paid by me. $780,
900 in all that he received for his able
services. Mr.. Delmas's bill for ex-
penses was less than $1,000 and is in
cluded in the s20,150 item for detec-
| tives and sundries."

foreigners are being arrested and
many are being taken to the Jail at
Centerville. the county seat of Bibb

MANY ASSURANCES.
Promises of Victory Poured Into the
Ears of w. j. Bryan.

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 10
DIR. Mcclure of Sedalia. a caller at the
Bryan home today, assured the
Democratic nominee that Missouri
was safe for him.
THE people want change" de-
clared DR.. Mcclure after leaving the
Bryan home. "They are tired Of the
condition of things and SO far as Mis-
souri, is concerned they don't under
stand why under. a Republican ad-
ministratfon we should have such
times as there are now. 1t is a
conundrum to them.'
Mr.. Bryan was much interested in
statement of DIR. Mcclure that
union band of Sedalia had received in
structions from headquarters to vote
for himself and Mr.. Kern.
Rev. S. F. Mcclure. pastor of the
First NJ. f. church of Osceola, Kan.
also talked with Mr.. Bryan. DR.. Nc
Guire had travelled through Missouri,
Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska.
Both his father and himself always
heretofore had voted the Republican
ticket. he said, but this fall they
would vote for Bryan. He had talked
with many Republicans in the four
states visited by them and stated that
ing for a change. The rural people.
in particular, said DIR. MCGUIRE, will
come out strongly for the Democratic
candidates.
Il have special reasons for know
ing that that is true" he declared.
In the course of his conversation
with these three men the subject of
primary elections came up, and Mr..
Bryan was led to remark that mo
matter what the results are IL the
people have what they want that is
the best We can hope for
Another old man in the person of
Harvey w. Hardy, who carried his S3
years well, came out to Fairview to-
day to tell Mr.. Brayn he would leave
Lincoln in the morning on mission
airy tour of New York state. Mr..
Hardy voted for the Democratic nomf-
nee twice for congress and twice for
president.

Far back in the fifties Mr.. Hardy
was superintendent of schools in Wyo-

greatest interest in his fellow towns

ed Senatorial Fight.
Deneen Appears to Have Tri'
umphed Over Yates.
OLD TIMER TO FRONT.
Adlai e. Stevenson Named fol
Governor by Democrats.
Lawrence B. Stringer Nomi.
mated for u. s. Senator.

Chicago, Aug. 10.-From the incom-
plete returns received it seems prob
able that Senator Albert Hopkins and
Governor Charles s. Deneen were re-
nominated by the Republicans in Sat
urday's primaries.
The vote in more than IS counties
with estimates based on the majorities
received by the two candidates in other
counties, gives the following result on
governor: Deneen, 176.557; Yates. 15s,-
S27. Deneen's majority, 1870.
In the face of these figures practical
ly all of Mr.. Yates supporters gave up.
Deneen's majority. which was 7,os1 in
Cook county, was swelled by continual
additions from the downstate district.
where Yates was supposed to be the
stronger, until it had added more than
10000 to his lead over his rival. Deneen
carried 62 out of the 102 counties. He
carried % out of the 80 Chicago wards.
Hopkins Is Gaining.
Senator Hopkins gained in the more
complete count of the ballots. His
plurality over George Edmund Foss
now appears to be about 1s,1o0 IN
ninety-one of the 102 counties in the
state. At the same time Lawrence b.
Stringer kept up his gains for the
Democratic nomination. Incomplete
returns from fifty-two counties give
Stringer an estimated plurality over
Addison Blakely of 6O.531. AS far as
reported, Mr.. Blakely has failed TO win
a single county. The estimated total
vote of the Republican candidates in
ninety-one counties is as follows: Hop
kins 1895, Foss 101, ,409, Mason
62,1S3. Webster 500.
The twenty-four hours that followed
the closing of the primaries only
served to swell the plurality of Adlai
stevenson in the contest for the head
of the Democratic ticket in Illinois.
The latest obtainable figures give him
a lead of 24,O12 over his nearest COM
petitor.
The verdict of the Democratic voters
is accepted as fine tribute to con-
servative politician of the old school,
who knows little of the uses of the
modern tricks of campaigning. There
is a possibility that quiet word was
sent down the line to vote for Steven
son by those farseeing Democrats who
hoped to aid Bryan in Illinois with
the Stevenson prestige. So. r.

BUSCH GIVES $4,000.
Toward Germanic Museum Building
at Harvard University.

Berlin, Aug. 1O.-At today's session
here of the International Historical
congress. David Jayne Hill, the
American ambassador to Germany,
made the announcement that
Adolphus Busch, of ST. Louis, was
ready to give $4,000 towards the
Germanic museum building at Har-
ward university. DR.. Hill said:
"On November 10, 1908, the ami
versary of the birth of John Schiller.
the famous German poet, dramatist
and historian, there was opened at
Harvard, museum in which it was
intended to collect an exhibit of works
representative of German art culture.
This collection has grown to be one
of the most complete of it's kind in
existence. 1t has received from his
majesty the German emperor. not
only assurances of his general interest.
but many substantial gifts, which
we're received in the United States
with gratitude and appreciation as
marks of special friendship.
1.-The historic value of this collection
already has been very great and 1t
promises to become perhaps the most
impressive embodiment of art of the
old world to be found on the shores
Of the new world. 1t is therefore with
pleasure that 1 find myself authorized
to announce that the well known
American citizen, Adolphus Busch of
ST. Louis. president of the Germanic
Museum association in a letter to me,
offers to contribute towards the erec-
ton of a suitable building for the in
stallation of the museum. the sum OF
$4,000 which is one-sixth of the
amount it is expected that the build
ing will cost.
The delegates to the congress at the
conclusion of this announcement ap-
plauded Ambassador Hill, who added
1.-The museum will constitute new
evidence of the influence of the past
times of other lands as exercised upor
the new development of civilization
which might be of interest to the con-
press''

electric lights and the vessels flashed
their powerful searchlights upon the
buildings and hills along the shore.
The city itself was beautifully light
ed. incandescent lamps of various col
ors being utilized to bring out the ma
tional colors Of Great Britain and OF
the United States. The fireworks pro-
gramme was an extensive one, begin
ming with a royal salute of 21 aerial
guns and ending with the flight of 100
rockets which formed an aerial bou-
quet Of the national colors. A grand
review of the Auckland troops was
held on the military field this after
non and it was a brilliant sight. The
New Zealanders distinguished them
selves as light horse in South Africa
Included in the review were many
veterans of the Maori wars, which

governor of New Zealand, will give a

raise $350,760, which is $102,7S9
more, or dangerously near one-half
more, than was raised last year. why
should the city authorities take ad-
vantage of the new tax law and under
take to raise ~ per cent more in taxes
than was raised last year. This is
simply preposterous, the people will
not stand for it, and they ought not
to stand for it,
Another point: The school board
last year asked for and received in
taxes from this city $249,564, which it
will be observed was more money than
the city raised for all other general
purposes. There is suspicion on
the part of the public that the school
board is extravagant in it's expendi-
lures. Everybody wants good schools
and plenty of them, but the expen-
ditures of the school board should be
more carefully watched. In the face
of the large amount asked for by the
school board last year, it now asks for
$4,000 more. If the mayor and coun-
Gil and the school board persist in
their efforts to so greatly increase our
revenues from taxation they will hear
sound from the tax payers which
will not be uncertain.
These figures it must be remember
ed cover general taxes only and do not
provide for the taxes necessary for
special improvements like pavements.
sewers and sidewalks. which will nat
urally be large in view of the amount
of paving under way.
The state tax law provides that no
levy can be agreed upon which will re-
turn a sum in excess of two per cent
more than a sum that would have pso-
duced by the levy of the maximum rate
provided under the old tax law. This
maximum in the old tax law covered
general funds only, however, and did
not apply to special funds.
The tax commission has the power
upon an appeal to them to authorize
an increase over and above the two per
cent mentioned but the commission is
chary of exercising this power. 1t is
averse, however. to any material in
crease in the taxes over the state as
the law is now undergoing its first test
with the public.
Concerning a proposed increase OF
$4,000 to $4,000 proposed in the way of
taxes for the city waterworks the state
tax commission has taken under ad-
visement the right of the city council
to make this increase and whether the
fund can be considered in the light of
a general fund.
The question that the council is
wrestling with is whether the fund for
! the waterworks is general fund. The
other increase suggested of a sinking
fund of $4,000 to pay off bonded in
debtedness in the form of $4,000 of
bonds due in July, 1910, does not seem
to come within the provision against a
two per cent increase. The law SEEM
ingly fails to cover the two big items
in which the council is considering the
big increase.

OFFICIAL BANQUET.
Given by New Zealand to Admiral
Sperry and Officers.

Auckland, Aug 10.-The government
gave a banquet to Rear Admiral
Sperry and the officers of the Ameri-
can battleship fleet now anchored in
this harbor at the drill hall tonight
The arrangements were carried out on
a magnificent scale. The hall was
tastefully decorated with flags, the
union jack and the stars and stripes
being everywhere conspicuous.
The prime minister of New Zealand,
Sir Joseph Edward, proposed a toast to
King Edward and President Roosevelt
during the course of which of each ne
said:
Each is a born ruler richly endowed
with common sense and a great ardent
love of his country and people. Each
is a peacemaker. The American navy
is one of the greatest and most efficient
in the world. We are proud of Ad-
miral Sperry's visit, and no fleet save
a British is so welcome.
When the commander-in-chief rose
to reply to the prime minister's toast
he received a tremendous ovation. In
his speech he said that while the navy
foated no enemy could reach New
Zealand's shores. He recalled the time
when the Americans were told that
they had the strongest navy in the
world-when they had seven rotten
monitors. He was very hopeful now be-
cause so many gallant young officers
feet. the admiral said. had developed
homogeneity and by its present cruise
had enlarged the BENEFITS of naval
training. He could safely say there
was nothing nearer to the heart
of President Roosevelt than the cordial
welcome extended by New Zealanders
to the fleet, and he was confident that
it was agreeable to the king
Proud of His Company.
Vice Admiral Sir Richard Pore. COM
mander of the Australasian squadron,
replying to a toast to the British navy
cordially welcomed the American fleet
to the Australian station and said he
was proud of the opportunity to have
his name coupled with that of Admiral
Sperry.

liant. the town and harbor being
ablaze with lights. After the sun went
down a fireworks display was held on
shore in conjunction with the illumi-
nations and searchIights of the ships
in the harbor. The outline of each war
ship was prominently revealed by

lists, according to dispatch received
at the state department today from
American Consul Doty at that place
The consul also reports that a man

The shooting is supposed to have

which have been going on at Tabriz
for some time and in both cases to
have been accidental
