The writer really believes that no
newspaper Office in the country is ia
vored with more loyal people in its
various departments. Something hap
pened this morning which gives US
grief. It shattered few ideals. But
the writer is still convinced that he has
not been wrong in these 'Reminls-
cences." in regard to the amiable and
generally good-intentioned competitor
who runs a paper in the morning field
| in Topelxa: ours being the evening
field. which is quite different. So that
this daily ought not to be considered
as a real rival to the morning paper.
The field that both have in common
is the welfare, growth and prosperity
of Topeka and Kansas One tries to
herald this doctrine in the morning
/ The other vies with his would-be rival
proclaiming the same doctrine IN the
morning: but if possible with more
orthodox emphasis. Both are working
to the same end and for the same peo-
pie, the good of all Why not?
The state journal, in order to edu-
cate the fine lot of Topeka newsboys to
sell their papers to the best possible
advantage. secured four circulation
mon who were brought from Kansas
City to show our Topeka boys how to
..hoIler'' and to tell the exact truth
about what each edition is
Mr.. Wolf the circuIator manager OF
this paper, engaged these young men,
paid their railroad fares to Topeka, ana
engaged rooms for them from Horace
EJnrphreys. manager National am
Clenwood hotels.
We pay these boys a daily salary and
all their expenses
A party named Wilson, circulation
manager, who has Mr. Capper's rub
her stamp. has begged and implored
these boys. by offering them more
money to leave the State Journal and
sell Capitals Sunday morning ana
every morning.
The boys stood pat until this morn
ing and sold only State Journals
This morning two boys deserted to
the enemy and two, Harry Miller ana
paul Murdoch. Two fine fellows, remain
"a loval and refused to betray the Jour
nal.
The state Journal started two new
features for Saturday edition Saturday.
These features are likely to appear
every Saturday. They are the cele-
brated ..Bingville Bugle'' facsimile |
first page. This page is good-na-
tured and good humored, and cannot
offend the farmers, or any one else
In fact. the farmers enjoy 1t even
more than the city people, while the
civ people take to it like duck 70
water in the few other cities where
the page has been introduced IN the
central west.
The .BingvilIe Bugle'' page. which
appeared for the first time IN any 10
neza paper on page 10 Saturday, is
ne richest thing Of its kind that has
been offered since Colonel Jeltz sus-
pended the Topeka Ledger.
The other feature is one which will
anpeal especially to women, and we
urge the men folks to see that the
women get this page. That is the en-
broidery page.
Bv new process that was intro |
duced for the first time Saturday by |
anv Topeka paper, it is believed, the |
beautiful embroidery design printed |
on mage six of this issue can be trans
ferred in print upon paper or cloth by |
the simple process explained on the |
same page
It is believed that these two fea-
lures alone will insure a large demand
both for the noon editions and for the
regular editions
The state Journal on Friday last
NV ?. started for a permanent feature
something unique in daily Journalism.
It now daily gives its readers full
comic page printed in colors; black,
blue and red.
This was never before attempt
ed bv any daily newspaper in the
TTnited states so that the State Jour
nal was first.
Many papers have printed comic
pages in coIors on Saturday evening
and Sunday morning, but no paper IN
the United states even before had the
temerity to try to print colors every
day
The expense is enormous, but after
careful calculations extending over
period of more than six months and
great advance preparations, the state
Journal found that on Friday last, it
was finally ready after much trepldd-
ton to spring its surprise: and did So
! The city edition for the regular sub
seribers who receive the paper by car
rier delivery will be issued from the
State Journal office daily at as nearly
as possible the same hour, 4 O'Clock.
The state Journal prints mail edi-
ton each day shortly before noon for
trains which leave Topeka in al: di-
rections between u and o'clock This
