TO SPEAK
Ohio Senator Will Be in Topeka
at Rock Island Depot.
The Eloquent Taft Champion
Will Speak at 4 O'clock.

Senator Theodore Burton of Ohio
will speak at the Rock Island depot at
o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Bur
ton is coming to Kansas on a special
Taft train over the Rock Island and
his Topeka speech will probably be
the only one delivered in Kansas.
Senator Burton is an orator of much
prominence and is making a western
campaign for the reelection of Pres
dent Taft. With several other speak
erS of note, he is travelling on a spe-
cial train over the Rock Island and is
speaking only in the larger towns and
cities. He will enter Kansas from
Colorado Wednesday morning and his
train will arrive in Topeka at 4
o'clock His speech will be delivered
at the Rock Island depot
The Burton itinerary calls for a
stop of one hour in Topeka. At 5
o'clock the train will be transferred
to the Santa Fe tracks and the special
car on which Senator Burton is trav-
cling will be taken to Kansas City on
No. 6.
There have been but few Taft meet
ings in Kansas since the August pri-
maries. With the lone exception of
Harlan and Bede. Senator Burton is
the only man to be sent to this state
by the Republican national committee.
The placing o. the Taft electors on the
Republican ticket, however, is expect
ed to cause the Republican national
committee to conduct an active Taft
campaign in this state before the No
Taft meetings have been announced
in Kansas, but men in touch with the
Republican national committee feel
certain that number of the best
speakers at the disposal of the COM
mittee will be sent to this state.

A Senator Wanted Information and
Found Way to Get 1t.
Congress makes lots of unnecessary
trouble for the government clerks"
said veteran employee, but the
worst case l know of occurred some
years ago. A certain senator asked
the comptroller Of the currency to tell
him how much stock a certain man
had in a national bank. He was in
formed that such information was re-
garded as confidential and could not be
given out
well see about that said the SEN
ator, who was plainly disappointed and
displeased.
Several days later he secured the
passage of resolution calling upon
the secretary of the treasury to fur
nish the senate with the names and
holdings of the stockholders in all the
national banks in the country. He
really wanted to know only the inter
est of one man in a bank, but he knew
that he couldn't get resolution of that
kind through the senate. so he includ-
ed the stockholders in all national
banks.
1T took the entire force of the comp
trollers office several weeks to pre-
pare the information, and when 1t
reached the senate nobody paid any at
tention to it except the author of the
resolution. and he merely looked at the
mass of papers only long enough to
see about the man ne was after and
then tossed the papers aside. 1t was
an immense lot of work for nothing

princes repertoire covers almost all
the most popular operas. and it is only
necessary to press button to set the
whole marvellous machinery in motion.
The actors make their entry on the
stage and play their varied parts with
appropriate gesture, while number of
monographs supply the vocal parts in
the voices of the leading operate sing,
