GREEK GIRLS LACED.
Prof. Paul Shorey Skaters am Old
Tradition.

The convention of the Classical
Association of Kansas and Western
Missouri was opened last night by the
lecture at the high school given by
Prof. Paul Shorey of the Chicago uni
versity
Prof L. D whittemore made
short address welcoming the visitors
to the city and telling of the increased
youth of the west. His talk rather
indirectly defended the classical
course of study in the public schools
now being attacked by those who con-
slider 1T Impractical Mr.. Ralph Ward.
president of the Classical association
and principal of the Kansas City, Kan,
high school, made the response to
Professor Whittemore's welcome and
introduced to the audience Professor
Shorey, who lectured on Some Mod
ern1sms of the Ancients.' Any of those
who may have gone to the meeting
In the hope of hearing a learned dis
course comparing the knowledge and
scientific attachments of the Greeks
with our. own, were disappointed. The
ADDRESS was much more humoro
than serious and was rather lighter
IN character than any that has vet
ben given on the teachers lecture
course.
Professor Shorey began by explaining
that in the matter of discoveries and in
Nent1ons and in knowledge of scien-
tlnc Details we are far ahead of the
anclents' but in the broader field of
thought. philosophy, government-the
sncients were thoroughly modern. He
quoted dozen of our most familiar
proverbs, maxims. and household
phrases, giving as their authors, Seneca,
Flutarch, Marcus Aurelius, Euripides,
etc. He showed how the sugar loaf
head of the statesman. Pericles. was as
good a joke in old Athens as the dem
tai smile of Roosevelt is to Americans
today. The Greeks had the women
question, the educational problem, and
the music drama question Women
keen for the ballot, the public had con-
ficting IDEAS about higher education
and books were written on the same
| problems of the future life, civics. NOR
ais, sociology. and other things that
puzzle the minds of men STILL Notwith-
standing the Venus de Milo ideal girls

jokes of the time We're Identical with
the best ones of ours. Professor
| Shorey gave a good deal of original
verse that he blamed the Greek poets
| for, and what was Plato and what was

MAY BE. VETOED.
Ffremen's Salary Ordinance Not Yet
Signed.

The firemen salary ordinance pass ID
by the city council last Monday night
is in danger of being vetoed by Mayer
William Green The ordinance is still
in the office of the city clerk and has
not been signed by the mayor. The rest
of the business transacted through the
council Monday night has been signed
and published in the official city paper
the State Journal
The fact that Mayor Green has not
signed the ordinance when everything
else has been signed and published
hints that a veto is probable. Further
more the mayor stated this morning
that only after a thorough investiga-
ton of the condition of the finances of
the city would he attach his signature
to this ordinance.

Attic laaES

Topeka theatrical climate must be
chilly-at least a majority of the stars
scheduled for this city have gone
through their performance with a
actor and audience. Robert Edeson in
"a Mans a Man. last night was no
exception.
Edeson was never more popular.
with a Topeka audience last night
nevertheless This play "a Mans a
Man. was as good as made to order
for him. He is much better adapted
to the part than to the parts allotted
to him in his former-appearan The
play is good-mighty good-it is one
of those plays that leads the young
lover down in the audience to turn to
his lady love and say. Don't worry
about me-
The play includes panorama of
politics. state legislatures, tainted
money, ambitious youth, love, fidelity
and pathos- A little humor was
sprinkled here and there to brighten
up the broken hearts. The play was
woven around a divorce problem and
incidentally brought in situations that
saved divorce from the "cruel, cruel
courts
Robert Blossoms has been said
before-was built for the lines assign
ed to him. The character of Luke
Moore, a member of the Montana leg
islature, as portrayed by Howard Hall,
was so well done that he shared with
Edeson the honor of the production.

Civic Club Is ReOrganized at
Last.
j. B. Billiard New President Of
Organization.
TALK OF POLITICS.
Would Oppose Those Who Fought
Bridge Extension.
Memb 'rship Includes the Active
Business Men.

At the reorganization meeting of the
Civic club held at fire station No. last
night the following officers were
elected:
President, J. B. Billiard; first vice
president, Otto Kuehne, sr.; second vice
president, c. NJ Morrow; secretary, 4.
E. Olinger; treasurer, Fred Voiland.
All of the officers were elected unani-
mous1y with the exception of treasurer.
The other candidate for this office was
J. R. Spetter, but the vote was to 10
in favor of Mr.. Voiland. Fred Morns,
ex-president, was detained at home by
sickness.
The election of these men virtually
constitutes a reorganization of the club.
The following committee was appointed
to draft a constitution and bylaws: +.
B. Simms, C. M. Morrow, S. R. Kutz, E.
E. Olinger and Fred Voiland. They are
to report at the next meeting OF the
club which was set for Friday evening,
February Is, at fire station No. 1.
s. r. Kutz surprised the meeting by
stating that in the list of nominees for
commissioners he noticed the names Of
several who had opposed the extension
of Melan bridge, and urged the club
members and all residents of the North
side to unite against the candidates
who opposed the bridge extension or
other river improvements and things
which were for the interest Of the North
side IF we are not careful said Mr.
Kutz in conclusion, I'VE will elect a set
of commissioners who will postpone the
extension of Melan bridge until Gabriel
blows his horn"
v. r. Parkhurst engineer for the
North side drainage board, proposed as
work for the club that amusements
should be established in Garfield park,
and that committees should be appoint
ed to get in touch with manufac-
turers "These men," said Mr.. Park
hurst, SHOULD be shown how three rail-
roads, offering splendid facilities for
shipping, are within easy access of al
most any part of the First ward, and
are a great inducement for such con-
Germs to locate here"
For the present the dues will be 81 a
year. However, for the best interests
this may be set at 50 or SO a year per
member The matter may be decided
by the committee on constitution and
bylaws. Acting under the old consti-
tuition, after the election Of officers,

Ne" York Central Lines Make Conces-
sions-Men Demand q. G. o.
Scale.

New York, April 13.-Hopes we're
freely expressed that there would be
no strike when the representatives Of
the employees and officials of the New
York Central railroad met to endeavor
to reach an agreement on the wage
scale question. The union leaders
have taken the position that the men
should receive the scale of wages
granted by the Baltimore & Ohio,
which has been made a standard Of
settlement for all the roads In the
east t..r ..
The strike, IL is calculated, would
bring out about $500 trainmen and
conductors on the New York Central
road, and. 1t Ia reported. would involve
the other Vanderbilt lines. including
the Lake Shore, the Michigan Central,
the West Shore. the Big Four and the
Nickel Plate. .....
Of1c lals of the New York Central
have made concessions, but SO far
have not offered the men the Bslti-
more & Ohio scale, for which the EN-.
ployees have voted to strike unless
the company accedes TO the demand.
