Events
AND MARSHALL'S BAND
Famous Musical Organization Is
on Program.
DR.. S. S. Estey and A. S. Huling
Will Speak.

Labor Dey-when no one will labor
will be officially celebrated by a good
program at Garfield park Monday. La
Dor Day will be a day of rest as far as
real work is concerned. That is why
it's called Labor Day. Seriously, the
labor union committees have compile
ted a splendid list Of events to be
pulled off while no one is toiling, when
the weary butcher, baker and candle
stick maker is resting and the barber
isn't working up d bit lf lather about
who is next" (Can you get "bext
to this deeply hidden double-joke?)
A ball game between team of plumb
ers and newspaper employees will be
the feature of the morning program.
MarshalFs hand will furnish in the af-
ternoon and evening.
At 1:30 p. m, Rev. S. S. Estey, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church, will
deliver an address. In the evening,
A. S. HuliI G, president of the Topeka
Typographical union, and proof reader
for the Hall Lithographing company
will deliver an address on practical
Education Mr.. Huling is opposed TO
industrial education. He thinks that
this is a covert blow at the trades un-
ions as by this system so many are
trained for comparatively few trades.
Besides he thinks that there is little
enough time in the schools anyway for
training the mind alone, and that an
a1l-round mental development to fit a
man to grasp any trade or business
is the best education. 1t is likely that
his talk Will be along these lines and
will be doubtless Of general interest.
Mr.. H1liI.g has lived in Kansas for
over 40 years. He was associated in
newspaper work in Junction City in 1867
with George W. Martin, now secretary
of the Kansas state historical society.
He recalls when Stanley, who after
wards found Livingston in Africa, was
in Junction City as correspondent for
the ST. Louis CflObe-DemOcrdt with an
down an Indian uprising in southwest
ern Kansas.

p. m. will be filed with interest. The
