HARD FOR PORTUGAL.


II going to be mighty hard for
Portugal to stick to her liberal views
and her democratic form of govern
ment- She is trying it, lard enough,
put 1t slips away occasionally, and
monarchial forms appear around the
turn in the road.
For thousand years the Portuguese
mad been accustomed to have king
boss them around and a prince bat
them over the heads when his liver
was out Of order. Dukes and other
fellows took great pleasure in ruling
things with rod of iron and the
common folks, who are naturally ex-
pected to pay the taxes in country
where a king has the call would rebel
now and then. There would be a big
muss kicked up once in while and
royalty would have a hard time hold
ing the fort Then the proletariat
would get up a private scrap, fall out
among themselves and fall back into
the old way
Last year movement was started
which made the king and his family
hike for the tall and uncut and do it
in record breaking time The revolu-
tlon1sts had him going and kept him
going until he was out of the coun-
try. That's all over and forgotten
now. The inability of Il country to
govern itself, that has always had a
king to attend to such matters, is ap-
parent. 1t IS the purpose of the COM
mon folks to let one of their number
do the most of the ruling but it is
hard to determine which one. There
are a number of applicants for the
position and ambition keeps the list
filled.
Now. the nonarchists. finding the
common people fighting among them
selves got in the game and are just
whipping the life out of a lot of the
country, making it do os the mon
archists want. And the march on
Lisbon is billed. 1t may not be
parade, but unless the common folks
quit warning among themselves. there
Will be another monarchy and one less
republic on the European continent

GERMANY's WAR TREASURY.

Not for use in any great emergency,
caused by fire, pestilence. famine or
flood is the $4,000, 900 lying idle in the
julius tower at Spandau, near Berlin.
Not to be expended to alleviate human
need or human distress, or any useful
purpose, is that huge sum, earned by
human toll and suffering.
1t is kept in the vaults OF the tower
for use in mobfhzing the army, not in
case Germany should be attacked, for
no power on earth would be so fool
hardy, but in case Germany should pick
a quarrel and attack some other nation
"a possibility ain ost equally remote.
Hence one would naturally think that
the $24, 100000 would be quite ample for
a contingency that is not at all likely
to arise The director Of the great
Bank of Germany, however, does not
think so. He says that the German
banks would not be able-in case of
war-to supply tie necessary sums for
the army, because as soon as war SEEM
ed imminent the depositors would with
draw their money, and, therefore, he
suggests that the war treasure in the
Julius tower be Immediately increased

Senator Joseph L. Bristow said:
I am shocked at the news of Judge
Madison's death, I can hardly believe
IL he was man of robust physique,
and never heard him complain of
illness or any physical ailment IN
his death, Kansas loses one of her
strong progressive leaders. He was a
brilliant campaigner, and a clear
thinker, and his highest ambition was
to serve the people faithfully and ef-
hciently- His great service was in the

report in that case will stand as mon
unnent to his great ability and his fidel-
ity to truth and righteousn ess.

Renewing Complexions
By Absorption

If your complexion is marred with
blotches, moth patches pimp1es or
freckles, it's useless to putter with
powders and paints. lotion, creams and
things, in an effort to get rid of the
trouble. Unless you have some ability
as an artist you'll mar your appearance
still more.
The new and rational way is to take
off the complexion itself. with all its
offensive marks. Just get an ounce of
pure mercolized wax at the druggists s
and use at night same as cold cream
Remove next morning with water and
soap, following with dash of cold water
The mercolized wax absorbs the half
dead scarf skin in flaky particles. so
gradually no one guesses you're treat
ing your face-un1ess it be by the re-
suit. which is truly wonderful. There's
nothing like it for restoring a natural.

HfARsHALISs BAND STATEMENT.
Albert Marshall Gives Version of State
Fair Trouble.
To the Editor of the Topek

To the Editor of the Topeka State
Journal:
For the information of the many
friends of Marshall's band, I take this
method of informing them of the true
condition of affairs an they exist In
the first place Marshall's band did
not make any objection to any ar
rangements which the State Fair as
secretary, MT. Cook, regarding their
music. Personally we regard Liber-
ati's band as a very high class organ
ization, and, composed OF very fine
gentlemen, and, they were exceeding
~ friendly with us on their recent Wis
it to our city.
The statement made by the press
that we refused to play with less than
so members is false. The board of di-
rectors of the fair association had
figures from us for 25 men at 81 per
man per day, after they voluntarily
made a proposition to hire 20 men at
SO per day per man. This PROPOSE
ton was f1atly turned down by Mr..
Cook. The statement made that we
demanded our money in advance is
also false. We have never had an op-
portunity to demand any money from
Mr.. Cook except for bill for services
a year old. The band also played a
full weeks engagement a few years
ago for the old fair association for
which 1t never received one cent al
though the mem bers laid off from
their daily avocations to play the job
Mr.. Cook has repeatedly told US that
he would not under any circumstances
employ MarshalPs band, although,
nothing can be said against MarshalPs s
band and we have donated our ser
vices time and time again to help pay
state fair expenses when they have
gone in the hole
That we are a union organization
should not be used against us, as we
were forced into the union in order
to retain the services of several or
chestra men who were members OF
the American Federation of Musicians.
The daily papers claim there were
1873, 900 paid admissions to our last
from outside the city. Is it fair to ask
AIarshall's band to turn out with 90
or 25 men, wear their uniforms and
advertise themselves as Marshalpg
when they could turn out 55 Uniform

for them? Does it not hurt the repu-

SHE KEEPS PoIsoNs HANDY.
Nervous Bridegroom of Six Months
says He Is Afraid.

Ell Dorado, Kan. Sept. 19.-A1eging
that his wife, whom he took for better
or worse but six short months ago. dis
played various poisons on her kitchen
table when she prepared food, and
taunted him for not being a man of
spirit, J. H. Havner, Potwin newly
wed'' filed suit for divorce in the dis
trict court against Lottfe Havner. They
were married March 4, 1911.
Havner's most startling assertion is
in regard to the poisons- He affirms
her familiarity with these deadly drugs
caused him to be nervous, prevented
him from enjoying his meals and some
times prevented him from partaking of
the family repaSt.
When she was baking pies, she had
strychnine on the table, the husband $
petition reads. "and at another time
she had rough on rats on the table
where she was mixing bread, and at
another time she had a bottle of paris
green on a table where she was mixing
bread and preparing other edibles."

tation of the band and the city, to
only turn out with 20 men The Wis
itors would naturally say, I'VE have
larger band than that at home
We have several professional musi-
clans in the band and we practice
twice a week the year around. We are
playing the same standard programs
that all the high class bands of the
high standard of proficiency it is
necessary that we use a full inStru
mentatiOn in playing all concert work.
By dividing the band in two you SIM
ply handicap it that much. We are
the only amateur band in the country
which makes any effort to maintain
this high standard, and, If we can not
have the support of the citizens, the
press and those who hire bands of this
class, we may as well disband. I am
informed that LiberatiS band received
$2,400 for it's services. We could have
furnished just as good a band for less
than half that amount, and, at the fair
a year ago would have been glad to
have furnished a vastly superior band
at a saving of several hundred dollars
to the fair association. Just because
we are home production we should
not be knocked. Almost every time in
the last few years that we have been
called on to play we have been asked
for part of the men, and can not get
contract for the entire band. Even
the Sem1-Centenn1al only contracted
for part of the band, but we turned out
the best band that has paraded the
streets of Topeka for some time and
did not nave the entire membership
either. The people of Topeka do not
seem to understand or appreciate the
fact that MarshalI's band is an anna
tuer organization With the exception
of a few of its mem bers the entire
number making Up its membership
are men who work for their living and
when they lay off for the purpose of
playing with the band they lose that
much time and money from their
usual avocations. at which some are
employed during the day and some
during the night
AS a member of the band who has
devoted his time to the good of the
organization for more than twenty
years, am in favor under the present
conditions of retiring from the band
business and allowing Mr.. Cook and a
few more persons who do not live in
Topeka and other men from the out
side to come in and dictate to the peo-
pie and the press of the city and give
to it and them just what Mr.. Cook and
the rest of the nonresidents think it
and they need in the way of music
Hoping that this explanation viii be
of assistance in placing MarshalPs
band in a true light and of refuting
some of the false charges circulated
against it, I am very truly
