THAT CENTRAL BANK.
1t Is Explained to X. C. Clearing
House by President Roberts.

Kansas City. Mo. Nov. 16.-"Nine-

The kind of a central bank that is pro-
rosed.' declared George E. Roberts,
president of the Commercial National
bank Of Chicago. and former director

I'm the cities the bankers under the

20 come together and assume, without
any legal sanction some of the func-
IONS of a central bank. We saw the
clearing house in 1907 receive the or

members and issue an impromptu cur

Iassed into circulation and served the
purpose of money The only trouble
with it was that IL had no legal status

trail clearing house, or a central agency
or what you like, that will do for all
the banks, under the authority of law,
what the clearing house did for their
members in 1907; an organization that
will render certain services to the gov

not SO well qualified to perform"

IS 1T ALL WIND?
Three Pertinent Questions for Gov.
Stubs to Consider.

| In commenting upon the State
Journal story of last Saturday in
which a state official was quoted in
an argument that Gov. Stubs should
next summer in favor of Attorney
| General Jackson, the governor de-
clares that the whole article was
nothing but wind and buncombe."
/ Now what did the governor mean
by this bold statement? The article
Stubs is candidate for United
States senator against Charles Curtis.
Is that all wind?
The article declared that Gov
| would hurt the Republican party no
matter which leader won.
Is that all wind?
The article declared that Fred S.
! Jackson is popular Kansan and
qualified to acceptably fill the office
of governor.
Is that all buncombe?
The governor should be more care
full in his sledge-hammer, Abe Lin
coin statements. They may sound
good and emphatic when they are
spoken but sometimes they react
against the speaker. A little reflection
might often avoid unpleasant con-
sequences.
The article so contemporary re-
ferred to by the governor was said to
made in the interests of party har-
mony. In 1t was proposed that the
Stubs reforms be carried on by a
simon pure reformer and that the
governor retire from state politics be-
fore entering the national arena in
order that the water might not be
muddied past a point where it might
be expected that it would clear up.
Should every suggestion that does
not slorify the square deal be scorn-
fully referred to as buncombe and
machine poison. Is there only one
true faith and Stubs its prophet?
ONLY one way and that Is the Stubs
path to Washington; only one creed
and that the Stubs translation? Are
all who believe not heretics?
These three questions above
naturally evolve themselves from the
Stubs denunciation of a serious sug-
gestion. In their asking is food for
thought In their answer will be
food for more thought for all serious
and unprejudiced citizens.
Don't misunderstood the State Jour-
nal. 1t is not saying that Stubs is
not making a good governor 1t is
not offering any one to run against
him, others may do that, for the Of
fee he loves and in which he believes
he can do great good for the state, if
he be given the opportunity; and he
says he thinks it will take a second
term to accomplish what he terms

The CoIstoun Pear.

Colstoun is famous for its carefully

dried fruit known as the Colstoun

to its present owners through Hugo

when the street commissioner closes
down the drinking fountains over the
city. This is the latest period for such
an action in the history of Topeka 1t
is always cold enough during the last
of October or first of November to close
down these fountains and it is the Gus
tom of the street commissioner to DO
it at this time. That is my worst job
every winfer,'' said Frank Snyder this
morning. Il hate to shut off these wa
tering places just because l have
feeling that 1 am putting the dumb
