the Lincoln Square Arcade building to
q private audience. at which it is as
serted she actually materialized an

i,y causing a mysterious hand to flash
before their eyes and caused extra
ordinary gymnastics to be performed
by a table.
NewSpa per representatives were ex-

everything that was done appeared to
SAVIOR of charlatanry, but that he could
rot account for anything that really

BELIEVES IN UNCLE JOE,
Congressman Madison PAYS High
Compliments to Present Speaker.

Ness City, Kan, Nov. 1S.-Hon. Ed
H. Madison, representative in the Big
Seventh District" lectured at the
Methodist church here on the sub
ject of National legislation. In the
course of his remarks he spoke of the
house rules. which he believed oper-
ate to prevent the representatives
from doing what they are elected to
do-represent the will of the people.
He traced the growth of the rules
from the time of Speaker Randall. and
showed how they have gradually CON
centrated the power in the hands of
the speaker, who. he says, is the sec
ond most powerful person in the Uni
ted States government. The fight
against the rules. he said. was fight
against a system and not against an
individual
He paid the highest compliment to
the ability and integrity of the present
speaker. You can't make single mem-
Der of congress believe that Mr. Cannon
is a corrupt man. 81 would as soon
face the devil as to face Mr. Cannon
with a proposition to influence him by
bribery
Mr.. Madison lectured for an hour
and half, and gave one of the clear
est and most interesting statements of
the details of national legislation that
has been heard in this part of the
country.

cality in Topeka
Col ]. W. Sparks of Marshall, No.:
There is no doubt that Kansas needs
state fair worse than any state in
the union. The breeders are second
to none in the country. and they have
the energy. A state fair is one of
the greatest educators in the world.
In Missouri our fair started nine years
ago on nothing and now we have half
a million dollars invested in perman-
ent fireproof buildings"

got started talking state fair you
would have to enlarge your paper"
J. w. Ferguson of Topeka: There
is no doubt but it would be a great
thing. I have been in Ohio and other
states where they have big state fairs
and the people were surprised that
such great agricultural state as
Kansas should have no state fair"
Col Brady ''got started" and said in
part: There is no reason why we
should not have one. Ninety per cent
of the people don't know what a real
ly big fair is. There is no better edu-
Gator. 1t shows the people on the out
side what we have got in Kansas"
Col. Ed Green of Florence, who
subscribed on the spot for the State
Journal for year so he could get the
news of the developments in connec-
tion with the establishing of a state
fair:
"If there is any state in the union
that needs big fair 1t is Kansas. A
state fair is as essential to a state as
an agricultural college. 1t educa res
