Washington, and son-in-law of Theo-
dore Roosevelt. is to be a star orator
of the Republican congressional cam
paign committee in Kansas. Nebraska
and Iowa this summer and fall.
Nick as he is known. is to be ex-
hibited as evidence of the fact that at
least the son-in-law of Roosevelt
stands by Cannon and Taft. Long
worth is to make his first trip imme-
diately after congress adjourns.
Although this is a critical stage of
the session, Representative James A.
Tawney of Minnesota. chairman of the
appropriations committee of the
house, left Washington today for Min
nesota to take charge in person of his
fight for denomination. Reports from
the district are alarming.

MANN FIRES FIRST GUN.
Illinois Congressman Opens Battle for
Administration Railroad Bill.

Washington. April 12.-With about 200
members in their seats, the admins
tration railroad bill was taken up for
consideration by the house today.
Representative Bennett. of New York,
who presided over the committee Of the
whole while Mr.. Mann. Of Illinois,
chairman of the committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce addressed
the house on the measure reported
from his committee. The large number
of Republicans and Democrats who lis
tened attentively to the Illinois mem
Der gave evidence of the Importance
attached to the measure.
Mr.. Mann declared railroad transpor-
tation is an industrial necessity and
not mere convenience.
with full realization" ne said, "of
the benefits and the necessity of wise
and successful management, operation
and progressive construction of our
railways, we also realize that in the
benefits which they confer upon the
people they are the servants and not
all persons upon equal terms; it is
their duty that they be treated with
fairness and reasonable consideration
by the government and by the people
and it is our duty that they shall
treat fairly all those who deal with
them and that they shall furnish with
reasonable diligence those advantages
of convenient and economical transpor-
leI1On 1OT WHICH they are CONSTRUCTED
and operated under favors granted by
the states"
Mr.. Mann declared that the EIkins
and Hepburn laws were mainly effec-
tive and had not been followed by the
disasters that had been so freely pre-
dicted. Under the wise leadership"
declared Mr.. Mann. "of the great
statesman, now in the White House,
who himself served as a Judge on the
federal bench in constituting and en-
forcing the commerce act, we are now
considering propositions somewhat in
advance Of those heretofore made into
law
Mr.. Mann said the bill would give
advantage on even terms to all ship
pers, greater security to those who care
to invest their money in railway stocks
and bonds and greater protection to
those railroads whose homogeneous
desire to operate them efficiently in the
interest of the people who use them
and the stockholders who own them.
Mr.. Mann analyzed the bill in detail.
He said among other things that it
eliminated secret agreements among
railroads as to classificationS and rates
by requiring the fling of such agree
ments but by not authorizing advance
approval OF them by the commission it
avoided, having approval construed as
ed the railroad tariff sheet system as
'tabomi cable, complicated, unwieldly
and unnecessary adding the bill
would aid in simplifying this. Ac-
knowledging that this provision was
not entirely satisfactory to the shippers
he explained that it at the same time
avoided opening the door to rebates.

New Today.

A letter received today from Secre-
tary H. L. Cook, who is getting in
formation In Lincoln. Neb.. that will be
of service in planning a new stock
building which it is contemplated to
erect Immediately on the grounds. Mr..
Cook urged the necessity of pushing
with raptdity the campaign for funds
for fair purposes. He is also arrang-
ing for entertainments and live stock
and other exhibits.
The list of outstanding accounts
against the old fair association which
aggregate about $500 was read and
some of this Indebtedness was wiped
out on the spot. Arthur Capper and
Frank p. MacLennan reduced the in
debtedness by about a thousand dol
lars by cancelling amounts charged up
against the old organization.
Albert Il. Reid cancelled $3.50 of the
Kansas Farmer claim. Many other
minor claims were cancelled voluntari-
ly by the claimants.
A committee consisting Of George S.
Badders, R. 2. Hodgins, L. NJ. Penwen,
w. I. Miller, and Rex. T. Kriepe was
cancellation or terms of settlement of
old claims
It takes time to call on the men who
are interested in the future of Topeka
and are of the opinion that a state
fair would advance real estate values
and infuse new life into the capital
city, and the board of directors and
workers expect to follow up the start
which has already been made.
An immense amount of push will be
required to win out and all loyal oiti-
zens should come to the support of the
cause, and do it now instead of saying,
'nOh, well, YOU come around tomorrow"
There have been some instances re-
corded during the campaign where men
OF small means have subscribed until 1t
hurt, and still took pleasure in doing
so, because they considered that they
were doing something for their city.
If others, who are in q more comfort
able financial position would give pro-
portionate an amount can be raised
that will give us a great fair.
Subscriptions received yesterday af-
ternoon were for the most part small
ones, but it proved that the people
generally in Topeka are for the state
fair.
