The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1909-06-28

Commercial club, Mr.. r. 1. Bone has
arranged with the caterer of the
Commercial club to supply the State
Journal every day with the menu Tor
will give the more peeviSh chance to
see just what they are going to get
when they make arrangements for
the Commercial club lunch every d
1t must be remembered that the
lunches at the Commercial club are
for the members of the club and their
friends. This should be an inspiration
to join the club at the earliest possible
moment. The lunches are served at
cost of only 25 cents to the diner
and the Commercial club is simply
asking for enough to pay the costs.
The menu for tomorrow will be:
Veal Stew and Dumping.
Baked Ham and Potatoes
Corn Bread. Sliced Tomatoes.
Blackberr Pie a La Mode.
Ice Tea. Lemonade. Milk.
Tomorrow noon there will be
meeting of the municipal legislation
committee for the purpose of ar
ranging a preliminary campaign for
speakers, for and against the COM
mission form of government in To-
peka. This will be very important
meeting of the committee and 1T is
hoped that all will be present. The
commission form of government has
| received q great start StuCe Tic Tain
| by Lafayette Young and the people of
the city are ready for more. Needless
to say the Commercial club members
are all anxious for an active campaign
and they are arranging for it through
| this municipal legislation committee
To advertise Topeka as a commission
governed city would be a great in
ducement to many out of town people.
There is some talk of installing in the
hall between the rooms occupied by the
Commercial club a large blackboard on
which will be written every day the
notices of the different inside organ
izations. Every day the office of the
secretary is besieged with such ques-
tions as Does my committee meet to-
day?" when does the so-and-so COM
mittee work." and What committee
am on, anyway" A little blackboard
with a complete list of the committees
would a'so be Il good thing. Some men
come to the club not realizing that
they are on the. committee which hap
pens to be meeting at that hour Then
probably if worst came to worst a list
| of the delinquent members of the club
| would be a good warning for black
board publication. Other announce
ments of different characters could he
posted at different times and it would
not only save the secretary an immense
amount of work but would save trouble
| to the members themselves.
Different jobbers and manufacturers
are receiving numerous letters from
over the state congratulating the as
| ISOLATION on the reception given the
Kansas merchants during Merchants
Week. All OF the writers speak for the
men who came to Topeka from their
cities and they adopt unanimously the
sentiment of all those who were here.
| The jobbers and merchants thought
| they had shown the visitors good
time but of course did not know other
| than the reports given out by the
newspapers. Now since the guests
have replied iii such satisfactory
manner and since the country press
| has reported the meeting with such
complimentary remarks the jobbers
and manufacturers have a contented
feeling-one which always comes to d
person when he knows that he has
done something which has been appre-
ciated by others than himself.
