! Four or five years ago. 1 always looked
at this section of Topeka as the jump

things:
Il cannot help thinking as I am here
tonight of two other meetings in the
city at the present time which are of
vital interest to it. One is the foreign
n1ght-school-the melting pot in which
Europeans are being made into Amerf-
can citizens. The other is the Social
- meeting at the auditorium. There
the most notorious Socialist in the
state, the editor of the Appeal to Rea-
SON of Gfrard, said things in giving
