A HOMECOMING WEEK.

Suggestion has been made by the
Santa Fe railway company that To-
peka have a homecoming week some
time in November, preferably around
Thanksgiving. There is everything to
recommend it. Nor should the Com
mercial club and its kindred organiza-
tons be slow to take up the PROPOSE
ton. There ought to be little trouble
about making it most enjoyable and
successful affair. The event should
be an annual one. If 1t is developed
as it should be, there is no good rea-
son why 1t should not become, before
many years, festival of large pro-
portions.
There are any number of former
residents of each and every city. and
Topeka has her share of them. Many
still live in Kansas at no great distance
from their former home. others, and
lots of them, are scattered all over
the nation. Not a few of them are
men of prominence and large affairs
in the places of their adoption.
Wouldn't it be a fine thing for the
city, and for everybody concerned, if
a large percentage of these former
Topekans could be attracted to their
old home once each year? Any num-
Der of them would undoubtedly be de-
lighted to come if the occasion of their
coming was made especially signif1-
cant.
Kansas City, Mo-. has its Priests of
PaIlas festival each fall. Wichita has
it's Peerless Prophets Jubilee. Both of
these occasions bring back former in
habitants in great numbers and car
loads of strangers as we'll. They pro-
vide amusement and good times for
everybody. They also stimulate trade,
They show the cities which have them
to be of the wide-aWake variety. To-
peka has nothing of this sort. The op-
portunities for such an affair are just
as good here as they are in Wichita
or Kansas City. Why wouldn't it be
good plan to start something here
along this line, and combine it with
home coming week? OF course,
there is not enough time to fix up a
celebration on a large scale for this
year. But an excellent start can be
made in this direction. With special
rates on the railroads it would be
! bound to be success from the start.
And after it once gets under way there
would be no difficulty in making it a
memorable week in Topeka each year,
one that would be of advantage to
Topekans and the prestige of their
| city, one that would be thorough
| ly enjoyed as well by former To-
pekans, and countless others who
would come.

THE TARIFF COMMISSION.

Criticism has bobbed up frequently
of late ..gainst the tariff commission
provided by the Payne act, and work.
ing under the direction of President
Taft, because not much, if any, news
has been given out concerning the
operation of the commission, the meth
DDS it is using, the purposes it hopes
to accomplish, and such work as it has
already done. The critics who voice
these sentiments, who are inclined to
look upon this tariff commission as
d joke or u make-shift, seem to forget
an announcement made by President
Taft during a speech he delivered some
time ago before the National League of
Republican clubs at its convention in
New York. On that occasion the presi-
dent said:
1.-THE new tariff commission, for the
work of which $250,00O was appropri-
ated, has already completed its prelim-
mary report, and the commission is
now at work in this country 1 have
authorized the chairman to make a
public statement of the purposes and
methods of the commission, but l have
directed him not to make that state
ment until after the election, because
in so far as possible desire the tariff
commission from its very inception to
be kept free from the vtcissitudes OF
partisan politics, so that it win gain
| the respect and confidence Of the
whole country, regardless of party
lines.''
All persons who are interested in an
honest solution of the vexing tariff
problem believe that it should be re-
moved as far as possible from politics
They will agree, therefore, that this
program of President Taft is a wise
/ one. And this decision of his shows
him to be anything but a designing po-
litician whose sole interest is the fur
ltherance of the political prospects o.

his party and himself It would have
been very easy for President Taft to
have injected the present commission
phase of tariff reconstruction into the
present congressional campaign. The
workings of this commission could
have been projected as strong ar
guments why the party in power,
which created it, should be returned to
congress. It is great advance in
the matter of tariff legislation, even
If it is not wholly acceptable to the
more ardent of the tariff commission
enthusiasts. For that reason it could
have been made an important issue in
the present congressional campaign.
But no. President Taft believes that
the tariff should be taken out of poll
tics. He is doing what he can to bring
this about by keeping his tariff COM
mission and it's accomplishments out
of the campaign. He wants this tar
if commission to gain the respect and
confidence of the whole country, re-

KANSAS COMMENT
NO MIND GRIZZLIES.


To my mind, dramatfcs, social ex-
cesses and kindred things distract the
student body more than football ever
did,
The foregoing statement is from
Chancellor Strong of the State univer-
sity. It sounds like pretty good philos-
opny TO those familiar with the social
end OF the athletic end of college life.
Inc opinion of DIR. Strong is becoming
more popular with instructors in the
country. He was not the first college
mead TO note the effects of the two out
side influences on learning. But he
mas learned the fact that the enthusi-
asm OF football loyalty Is short lived.
so, also, is that of baseball and that
or each of the other college sports in
turn. But the chap who is "daffy'
over college society is the fellow who
sights his work in college; the girl
VINO becomes socially unbalanced" is
the one who takes the low grades at
the end of the term.
While society is more of a necessity
than football, it is more easily over
done in college. The healthy mind
must accompany a healthy body. The
body to be healthy, must be well ex-
ercised. All experienced collegians
are unanimous in the decision that you
can't exercise the body by making
nudge or playing bridge. Eminent au-
thorities who have put in lifetime
at the great national game of draw"
claim that there is very little physical
upbuilding in that pastime and prae-
tioally no financial upbuilding except
for the kitty
The softer aid gentler induIgencesH
OF college life are the ones which are
the most dangerous to the mentality
OF colleges. A fellow may sprain
lung OF receive other injuries in foot
ball but If he ESCAPES conclusion of
the brain, his mind is left in a healthy
condition at the end of the season.

EAST HAS NO REASON TO BRAG.
Eastern towns have grown more

| decade, but they haven't had to popu-
late Oklahoma, the Panhandle country
of Texas, the Rosebud Indian agency
in South Dakota and a dozen or more
other tracts of greater area than a
whole state in New England. While
the east was populating the middle
west a generation ago this section
| grew out of all proportion to the east,
and we probably erowed about it, just
as the east is now growing because the
children of the middle west have moved

DUTY AND DISASTERS.

The cause of the sinking of the Pere
Marquette car ferry, while not definite
ly known to any of the survivors is
pretty well determined to be from port
holes which were open when they should
have been closed, writes H. N. Windsor
in the November Popular Mechanics.
These ports were not so very large, only
IL inches in diameter, and only a few
in number, but the man whose business
it was to see that they were closed when
the lake roughened, for some reason
seemed commonplace thing to go back
to that small after compartment and
make sure the openings were shut, but
the failure to do so cost the watch
mans own life and that of many others.
1t is another sad lesson of the import
ance of fidelity in what are, or appear
to be, small things; and yet most of the
tation, seem to trace back to apparent
ly trifiing neglect. A switch light is
poorly trimmed, as the tender thinks to
himself, what matters a single lamp
among the hundreds of thousands that
nightly connect the farthermost parts
of the land with a cebWeb of ruby
lines. And so the story could be ex-
tended indefinitely, but the moral al
ways comes to the fore again, that
faithful conscientious performance of
duty is as essential in the unknown
humble worker, as in the leader of men
or the hero who saves the battle.

incident to it, generally. Then, again,
cities being no more than a collection
of men and women, some of them like
some of the people who make them
up, will go to any extreme in fraud to
set ahead of their neighbors. And
another thing. A city that will pad
its census figures ought not to be a
very desirable place for any one to
locate. Such padding is INDUCED in
to convey the impression that the city
is unusually prosperous and growing
rapidly because of that fact. But g.
city which falsifies its population fig
ures is never able to deliver the goods
to people who are attracted to it by
its reputed unusual growth.
