UP GO The PRICES.
Cost OF Living Continues to Advance
Everywhere.

Indications are that living will be
nigh in Topeka this winter. In no
instances have prices dropped, said

store today, land a marked advance
has been necessary over the prices pre-

Still more noticeable, however, is the
increase of the wholesale price of the
bean that furnished a hot drink for

prices on different grades of coffees
are going up almost every day." said
John c. Witt of the Davis Mercantile
company.
1T is said that the coffee market is
now higher than it has been for 20
years." states the Merchants Journal.
"A slight advance on top of this, and
it will beat all records for 81 years.
The high price is said to be due to a
short crop in Brazil, but the Brazil
government trust probably has a hand
in it."
cation just quoted said today: In the
last Is months coffee, especially the
cheaper grades, has advanced 10 or IL
cents on the wholesale market. This
may mean that 25 cent coffee will soon
be a thing of the past.

for the funeral or waiting to see their
departed ones prepared for burial. On
the second floor is the main show
rooms and caskets varying in price
from twenty-five dollars up to two
thousand five hundred may be in
spected and selected. By switching
on the electric lights the beauty and
workmanship of the different pieces
may be closely observed. Off the
main show room is what Mr.. Penwel1
designated as the dry goods room,
where apparel for both men and Wo-
men ia shown in splendid variety and
quality.
On the right of the corridor across
from the show rooms is arranged a
line of rooms used for babies little
white caskets, laying out and operat-
ing rooms. In the one designated as
the laying out room, the family may
view their lost relative reclining on a
leather couch.
In the operating room. Mr.. Pen
we'll has installed every modern and
useful article which will add to the
service he is able to render. In an
other department is stored polished
and metallic shipping boxes; still an
other is used for a carpenter shop
when special work is to be done to
casket or boxes.
Throughout the entire establish
ment rugs are laid in corridors and
rooms and people may pass noiselessly
from one portion to another. The
woodwork throughout the building is
finished in mission oak. the main lob
by or reception hall being tile floor
and plate glass front. No paper has
been hung on the walls, everything is
completed with a view to convenience
and sanitation. Truly Mr.. L. M. Pen
well deserves much credit for plan
ming and executing such a magnifi-
cent funeral directing establishment.
His work can surely not be excelled
with such an institution.

Meyer says Within Year 1t VIII Be
Finest in World.

Chicago, Oct. 2s.-Secretary of the
Navy George Won L. Meyer believes the
United States will have the finest navy
In the world In another year.
Speaking of the new naval training
station at Lake Bluff. twenty-five miles
north of Chicago, to be dedicated to-
day by President Taft, Mr.. Meyer said:
1.-THE naval training station will be
the finest in the world. I believe that
when the station is in full operation
fully rs per cent of the men joining
the navy will enlist from the middle
west.
IF the interest in enlarg1ng our navy
and increasing it's efficiency goes on
undated for one more year, which 1t
undoubtedly will the United States
will have the finest navy in the world. "
The new naval training station has
been constructed by the government at
a cost of $3,500,000.

SENATOR LEAFS SPEECH.

From the even meagre press re
ports of Senator LEAFS maiden effort
in the Senate of the United States
his friends will have no reason to be
disappointed at the choice of the Ten
nessee Legislature for the high office
that he holds. While he has due
and proper regard for the traditions
of the august body of which he is q
member, Senator Lea makes it plain
that where those traditions stand
between manifest justice and are out
of harmony with the public sentiment
Of the country they must give way
1t is the same plea that those who
love the substance more than the
form of the law make when they in.
sist that technicalities and dry for.
malities shall not defeat justice and
thwart the very purposes for which
laws were instituted.
Senator Lea's observation that pub
lie sentiment did not approve the
course of the Senate last winter in
the Lorimer case is abundantly jnsti-
fed. The Senates findings in that
case were palpably a public scandal.
Subsequent developments have assur-
eddy justified the suspicion that the
committee which conducted the in
vestigation was more concerned to
save Lorimer than it was do to equal
and exact justice. No effort appar-
emily was made by the committee to
get at the facts 1t took no evidence
except that which was rendered. 1t
seemed to act upon the idea that be-
cause no public prosecutor appeared
performed. And the conduct of the in
vestigating committee in the Lorimer
case has done more to weaken the
Senate Of the United States in the
estimation of the people Of this Coun-
try than any single act in the history
IT that body.
The Senate Is a great institution.
A body constituted as the Senate is,
of small number where debate is I'M
limited, where the members have
long terms and where a mere pass
ing passion of the populace cannot
sweep 1t from the constitutional paths
Is the surest safeguard for liberty
in Republican government. But it's
conduct must at all times be open
and above suspision. A few cases
like that of the Blonde Boss of IIlli-
nois would make other advocates Of
the abolition of the American Senate
than the lone Socialist member of
the Lower House. 1t will not do to
be too contemptuous of the best senti-
ments of the American people.
Senator LEAFS first speech proves
A high conception of what the Senate
should be. 1t is worthy of him and
Of the great company that he spoke
to. Lea is of no ordinary clay. The
Herald has never doubted his abili-
~ to make good even in the Senate.
It's estimate of him expressed when
ne was elected, has been confirmed
oy his subsequent course.

The EusloNlsIs ADDRESS.

The address issued by the Fusion
members of the Legislature giving
the reasons and the causes which led
up to the memorable fillibuster is all
able and convin cling document Ev-
cry charge made in it is susceptible
of proof The exodus Of the thirty
bama was absolutely necessary in
order to prevent the most fragrant
and outrageous embezzlement of pow
er ever witnessed in this State by
the treacherous representatives of
the people. But for the wise and pa
triotic action of the minority an in
solent majority, secured by methods
that will ever smell to heaven, would
have made this State the prey and
the plaything of the most conscience
less and damnable special interest
that ever cursed free people.
Control, absolute and undisputed
control of the election machinery
was the beginning of the concumma-
ton of a program that would have
efectually destroyed free govern
ment in Tennessee and substituted
for the will of the people honestly
and fairly ascertained at the ballot
box, the rule of a corrupt whiskey
machine bent alone upon the exploit
alton of the States government for
selfish purposes.
The judiciary, which the people
on last August elected by an over
whelming majority in reputation of
the Governors vicious effort to make
of it political pawn, was not to be
exempt from the unholy touch of the
whisky interests. The calling of a
constitutional convention, the cleo
ton of delegates by the machine OF

same method, were in contemplation
