ILL SEAT 1900 MORE

Along with many other improve
ments which are contemplated at the
fair grounds, Rex T. Kreipe. secretary
of the Topeka State Wide Fair asso-
citation, has one that should appeal
Immediately to the public, and which
should be greeted with splendid
response by those who welcome i'm
provements.
Mr.. Kreipe has plans to build an
addition to the grand stand at the
fair grounds. During past years the
accommodations of the present stand
have been found to be woefully insult
ficient. Last year the patrons of the
fair on Topeka day were damned in
the stand like smoked herring in a
box, and the one great Improvement
that was suggested at that time was
the enlargement of the stand.
Mr.. Kreipe has been working for
several weeks devising plans for the
enlargement of the seating capacity.
He now has formulated definite plans
which if carried out and literally
supported by the public will result in
the erection of substantial addition
to the present stand, and which will
be all paid for during the next fair
which will take place during the
week of September 1918.
The plans provide for building an
addition on the west end of the stand
This addition Will form an angie OF
about forty-five degrees with the
present stand. making the seating ar
rangement more compact. This new
addition will be sixty-four feet in
length and will increase the seating
capacity from 1900 to 1900, making
a total seating capacity of 5000.
A number of boxes will be con-
structed in the old and new portions
of the stand. There will be one hun
dred of these boxes. They will be
built in the parts of the grandstand
which are coolest ana which give the
best view of the race track. Each
box will have four seats.
1t is these boxes which Mr..
Kreipe is depending upon to secure
funds enough for the erection of the
addition to the stand. These boxes
will be rented for the entire week for
ten dollars. This will insure four
seats for every performance and every
evening of the fair and this cost will
make IL but little more than the reg
Mar grand stand price of admission.
Then no matter whether YOU get
there on time or not. your seats will
be reserved for you and you will not
have to take chance on getting a
seat in the crowd
If these plans are carried out how
eyer 1t will require aid from the
public. Some promise of money must
be in sight for the work. before any

DrAlN-skiNNED" FELLOWS.

There are a number Of men in the
public service Of the nation, State,
county and city. who come under the
newspaper classification Of thin
skinned fellows" and the paper that
prints all the news all the time is
continually coming in contact with
these fellows
The "thin-skinned fellow is the one
who believes that no newspaper has
right to print his name in connec-
ton with anything he does in the
capacity OF a public servant unless he
authorizes it done. We are contin-
palIy meeting the fellow who says,
IN didn't authorize such and such
a thing to be printed.
1t is really unfortunate that more
eeople do not understand the mission
Of the newspaper and some Of the
trials Of the men who make the pa
per possible.
II the tum-bhune0 ieilOW IN pup
lie life does not want his name in
the paper" he can keep 1t out by re-
firing to private life and behaving
himself, meaning OF course that he
must also keep out OF the courts.
The newspapers have no desire to
injure anyone, and whenever a public
servant is misquoted the offending
newspaper Is always ready and willing
10 correct the error Man is only
mortal. and newspaper men make mis-.
takes just like other kinds or classes
of people. There is no reason to CEN
sure the newspaper man for making
any more than the lawyer.
or doctor. or a dentist, or minister.
The newspaper man necessarily does
his work In a hurry. and. II anything,
is more liable. and hence more excus.
able, for hts mistakes than other peo-
pie, and yet he always gets the worst
blame.
II the people generally. and the
public servants IN particular, better
understood the work OF the newspaper
nan there would be more OF apprecia-
ion and less OF censure for him.
