FOR A Big WEEK.
Continued from Preceding Page.)

One of the busy jobbers said to a
State Journal reporter this morning:
Il don't know what is going on down
at the houSe-in fact / haven't opened
any of my mail for week except the
personal matter I pay plenty of atten-
ton to the correspondence during the
winter when it is the only way I can

they are neglecting it instead. They
are working for the interests of the
men who are anxious to come to the
capital city and view its many at

state and local, enjoy its hospitality
(also state and locaD and come in
personal touch with the men whom
they have called Dear Sir and RE
spectfulIy Yours for the past Is years
or more. Merchants Week is simply
love feast and it is going to be
one of the greatest love feasts in the
history of Kansas.
Topeka is going to entertain the best
men in Kansas next week. Politicians
may come and politicians may go but
the level-headed business man will stay
with us forever. When i 600 or more
Kansas merchants leave their places
| COR their wives) and come heading for
Topeka next week they are going to
constitute one of the most welcome
| gatherings ever held in this city. The
business men of a community are the
! men who make the community. 1t isn't
| the representative or the senator who
Iupholds the prosperity and the morals
of a city, county or district. They are
mot the men who make the streets rat
lille with traffic, the sidewalks crowded
with throngs of buyers and the build
Iings loom up every hand. The real
up to date wide awake business man
lis the individual ana the life of the
Itown. The politician lives in his brown
lstone front with a gardener, hired girl
land a stenographer. The business man
mot only conducts his brown stone front
lbut he buzzes around in his down town
loffice with his typewriter and a number
of bookkeepers, his army of clerks and
his big business building. In the small
Ter town it is the same. The politician
drives down the main business street
with his friends from Topeka and
: points with pride at the business block
Iowned and occupied by Jones & Son,
Grocers'' and the worth and quality
of the town is decided.
4 These are the kind of men-the up
building citizens-who are going to
gather in Topeka next week-and
they are going to gather for other
reasons than cold b1ooded business
princip1es-they are going to come to

Yaqui Colony
 Celebrate in Tempe

The annual festivities ol the Ysqui colony at Guadalupe, southwest of Tempe, were largely attended by the people of Tempe and also by many visitors who are at present staying in the valley.
 The religious dance begsn Saturday night and ended at midnight Sunday night and it Is conserv.tIvely esti. mated by the Gazette that at least 30D0 people witnessed the event.
 The annual religious function of the Ysqui tribe in Arizona is one of the sightseeing events of the westerI tourist and the event is seldom sl- lowed to pass by without large at- tendance from eastern people who are sojourning in this section for the winter.
 Unlike several of the former fes- tivities of this tribe, there was re- ported no disturbance of the peace on the part of those taking part in the ceremonies, the chief was not com pelled to call upon the local peace authorities for assistance in quelling disturbances.

 Tn pursuance of this plan, Governor Klbbey formulated and sent the fol- lowing cablegram in the name of the people of Arizona:
 General William Booth, London, England:
 The people of Arizona, tender cor dial felicitations on your eightieth an uiyersary.
