SaIina said: We had some pretty harC
running between Salina and Topeka
Between Salina and s.. Marys. however
the road was much better than on this
side of St. MaTys. West of St. Marys
the rain fell only intermittently, and
there were several good stretches of road
where no rain fell at all. This side OF
St. MaryS though was pretty hard driV-

HIGH WATER MARK.

The local circulation of the State
Journal is the largest it has ever been
during any July in the papers history.
We also point with PRIDE to the fact
that the total circulation has also
broken all records. Breaking circula-
tion records in the summer months is
unusual, too.
This is good news for the papers ad-
vertisers who were never before given
so much for their money.
The State Journal takes this occasion
to thank its thousands of subscribers
for their continued patronage. Here In
Topeka it seems nearly everybody
reads this paper Many of the carriers
of the forty-eight State Journal routes
in Topeka continue to increase their
orders for papers which is sure indi-
cation that Topeka is growing. With
prompt delivery service and courteous
treatment at the hands of the carriers
and the publishing of first class even
ing newspaper, the State Journal hopes
to hold permanently these new sub
scribers the carriers are securing from
day to day.
But no wonder the people want the
State Journal for there is this very
great difference between morning and
evening newspapers. The evening pa
per gives you today's news today, while
any morning paper very seldom gives
anything but yesterdays news. In the
evening the reader has the time and
leisure to read both the interesting
news and the valuable advertisements,
thus keeping informed of the news of
the day and the offerings Of the mer-

East st. Louis, ILL.,, June 1S.-Cor-

ficials who are investigating condi-
tions by julius Bischofr inspector, who
Is on the stand when the inquiry was
continued today. According to J. r..
Harms, whose open letter to Secretary
Wilson caused the inquiry, Bischoff
substantiated many OF his co-workers'
assertions. The secrecy with which the
inquiry Is conducted caused much
comment about the stock yards. The
officials of the packing companies be.
lieves that secrecy will hurt the future
Of the business. Harms thinks the
statement of DR.. A. d. Melvin, who is
conducting the inquiry, that the charg-
es are baseless, is detrimental to the
inquiry and for this reason declined
to participate unless It was open to
the press.

STATEHOOD
IS CERTAIN
And 1t Will Surely
Come Within a
Year
THERE WILL Be NO DELAY
Capital Is Looking for Invest
ments in States.to Be
in Southwest.
THERE WILL Be NO DELAY

Los Angeles, June 18.-Inside in
formation direct from Washington is
to the effect that statehood will be
granted to New Mexico and Arizona
at the next regular session of Con-
gress. This without fail Such op-
position as there may be is fading,
desultory and inconsequential. The
party in power and the President are
pledged to give statehood and they
can put it through. Acting upon this
prophecy, the capitalists of this city
and vicinity are looking into the pos
sibilities of investments in the ter.
ritories, especially in the land and
mineral resources. Merchants are
awakening from their lethargy and
are reaching out for the trade of
the southwest and are active to sup
ply the necessities of the new states
to-be. Already many thousands of
dollars of Los Angeles capital are
invested in mining properties in the
territories and considerable is to go
into new irrigation enterprises.
That the territories are to come in
during the Taft administration is not
disputed. - Hsss
The President, is therefore, making
a careful Investigation, through en-
ployes of the government. The Re-
publicans of the Senate committee on
territories are using government en-
ployes also for the purpose of getting
at the facts. The mass of information
already on hand would fill large
volume; if published.
The situation in Congress as to the
admission Of both territories is ex-
ceedingly favorable. All the Demo.
Gratis of course, will vote for state
hood, for they will hope to bring both
territories into the Democratic col
umn.
The majority of tlle Republican
Senator's and Representatives from
the Rocky mountain region will take
a similar stand, for they always have
had a sympathetic feeling for COM
munities situated in the same part of
the country with them and laboring
under the difficulties with which their
states at one time had to contend.
Large investment interests in the
east also bear a relationship to the
project, sometimes counting for state
hood and sometimes against it, but
the upshot has been quite a good deal
of eastern statehood support, center
ing in Pennsylvania. These factors
combined will be sufficient to carry
the day, even were there disposition
to delay, which, however, there is not
beyond the ascertainment of thu
facts above referred to.
The admission of Arizona and New
Mexico will clean up the territorial
system in the continental portion Of
the republic, bringing the number o1
states up to forty-eight, where it vii
remain in all probability for many
years, unless ultimately there should
be reasons for admitting Alaska.
