BUILT WIND Mill.
Miss PalmkVist of Sweden Talks
of Lawrence Landmark.
Her Ancestors Built 1t in an
Early Day.
WILL VISIT SCHOOLS.
Likes America and Pleased With
Absencs of Saloons.
Hopes to Have a Public School
System Like Ours.
WILL VISIT SCHOOLS.

Miss Nanny Palmkvist, a teacher,
who halls from Helsingborg, Sweden.
and who is touring the United States
in the interests of a proposed women
teachers study and recreation home
in her native land, is now visiting the
Topeka schools, and hopes soon to
give an illustrated lecture on the Gus
toms of Sweden.
When she returns to her home in
the land of good" King Oscar, she
will continue to work in her chosen
field by Iecturing upon the American
ways, politics and people. If she can
raise from five to ten thousand dollars
in this country the $4,000 home will
be put in operation.
Il like the west" said Miss Palm
kvist. Il feel more at home here than
in any other part of the country L
have visited in the last year. You have
a good city here. 1t is so full of life
political and other meetings going
on"
"Oh, it is fine!" she exclaimed. in
speaking of the fact that there are no
open saloons in Kansas. I'm Sweden
there is an army of 100000 working
people fighting for temperance. They
realize the evils wrought by the liquor
traffic.

be a land mark in that town. Two
years before 1 was born my father
| fully expected to come to America and
work on the mill, but circumstances
prevented.
ct am getting some good ideas here
| in this country. I think the open air
work is good for the nerves.
II am also interested in co-educa-
ton. We have not adopted this sys-
| tenn in our schools as yet, with few
cases, excepted. We soon expect to
have a public school system like yours.
| Heretofore we have had a school for
the poor people, but without extra
study, they have not been able to
enter the high school.
| prior to 1906 the women teachers
| in the Swedish schools got pay on a
par with the men. but by vote of the
| law making body in that year things
have been changed and the women
now are not paid as well as the men.
We are working to have the law re-
pealed by showing that the women
are as competent as the men.
when a teacher is employed, he or
she expects to hold the position for
1ife-that is if the work is satisfac-
tory. We have one good thing which
YOU do not have here. and that is a
pension system. When the women
have served 80 years and the men 35
years, they receive pensions amount
ing to rs per cent of the salary they
have been getting, and we expect to
increase this to the full amount

STUBS AND MITCHELL.
They Are Campaigning Together in the
Second District.

Ottawa, Kan, Nov. 4.-To a crowd
which filed to it's full capacity the
large court room here, Governor
Stubs explained the issues in his cam
paign and was given a hearty recep-
ton. The part of his speech which
appealed to the voters more than any
other was his references to the pro-
hibitory law and its enforcement.
I'VE have established the fact that
the prohibitory law is supreme in Kan
sas and that we keep doggedly after
the enforcement of the law at what
ever place it may need enforcecent,"
he said. what we need now is law
empowering the people to GUST the
sheriffs and county attorneys who do
ever place it may need enforcement"
of the laws If you expect the COVER
nor to enforce the laws, give him the
aid of the county officials. The eyes of
the United States are on Kansas and
its prohibitory law. We need the help
of the smaller officials in enforcing the
laws. Give us the proper law and you
can recall any official not doing his
duty and fire him from his job
Mr.. Stubs argued strongly for the
recall. He was followed by A. c.
Mitchell, Republican candidate for
congress from the Second district. Mr..
Mitchelrs speech was short, merely
outlining the issues of his campaign.
Big Meeting at Olathe.
OIathe, Kan, Nov. 4.-The capacity
| of the opera house was taxed to ac-
! COmnOQaCe tn0 crown that SdlUSISu 10
hear the discussion of the issues of
the state and national campaign by
Governor Stubs and A. c. Mitchell
! last night. The governor and Mr.
Mitchell were met at the station by
the OIathe Military band and a large
delegation, who escorted them to their
hotel, where they held informal re-
ception. At 1880 p. m the band gave a
concert in front of the hotel and the
speakers were escorted to the opera
| house.
Mr. Mitchell followed Governor
Stubs and his address was largely a.
| discussion of national issues of espe-
cial interest at this time. He declared
| himself for a tariff that would be a
benefit to the wage Garner, and that
would protect the manufacturer who is
content with legitimate profits, in
short. for a tariff schedule made after
the manner recommended by President
Taft.
Mr.. Mitchell also declared himself
| in favor of the Taft program giving
| the interstate commerce commission
| mower to make physical valuation of
railways and limit bond issues of rail-
ways He also declared for an en-
ployers' liability measure, and for con-
! servation of the natural resources on
the Roosevelt plan. John r. Thorne,
chairman of the county central COM
mittee, presided at the meeting.

and a property loss of 100000 re-
suited when the Macon Telegraph

About half of the files of the paper

The fire started in waste paper near

cites at the back of the building.
Half an hour after it was seen
that the Telegraph plant was a total
loss, the working force was transferred
to the Evening News office and the
regular morning edition was being got

ASSAILS NEW NATIONALiSM.
President Taft and Tariff Are Praised
&C. o. p. Victory
Is Sought.

Maryville, Ohio, Oct. 24.-Formel
Senator Foraker signalized his return
into active politics by going after Col
Onel Roosevelt and his new national
ism, rough-shOd. Mr.. Foraker stood
pat on the tariff, deplored the activi
ties of the insurgents, urged Senator
Dicks reelection, and Endorsed War
rem G. Harding for governor. He
spoke kindly of President Tafts ad
ministration and said that Republican
victory in Ohio meant great deal tc
the president
Referring to Colonel Roosevelt's new
nationalism, the former Senator said
that in spirit at least, it is as treason
able as secession itself.
1T has one saving feature. how
ever" he continued. There is about
it all such a preposterous absurdity
and such an unsufferable egotism as
to excite not only condemnation, but
ridicule. 1t is another case of Vault
ing ambition DER leaping itself II
has dispelled illusions that had become
dangerous. The people now better un'
derstand the author and know better
to judge what he proposes. They are
not likely to longer regard him as
an improvement on George Washing
ton and Abraham Lincoln"

TO FIGHT 2.cENT LAW.
Four States Including Minnesota, to
Contest Rate Statute.

Chicago, Oct 24.-The railroads are
preparing to contest in the courts the
validity of the two.cent passenger
laws in the states of Iowa, LIMOS,
Wisconsin and Minnesota. Suits Will
be begun to set aside the law IN all
these states as soon as there is a final
decision by the supreme court OF the
case which was brought in the state OF
Missouri. 1t is expected that decls'
ion will be rendered soon and as the
railroads have been victorious in all
the lower courts the presidents feel
warranted in believing that the high
est court will not reverse the prior de-
cisions.
The basis of the suits which are be-
ing planned is confiscation. This was
the plea in the Missouri case and II
will be the ground of the suits IN all
the other states. Some question mas
arisen in the minds of some OF the
railroad officials as to whether a rate
that is confisc>tory in the state OF
Missouri would be held contiscatory IN
the state of Illinois or even in Iowa.
