New Postoffice Location After Today.
Today was the last day that Topeka
people will buy stamps at the postof-
flee building for more than q year.
During the entire year Of 1914 and
possibly 1915, the federal building will
be remodeled, the postoffice will be
located at Sixth and Jackson with the
exception Of the postmaster, cashier
and postal savings department. That
il the statement that Postmaster
Rodgers wants every Topekan to
know about. Tonight at p. m. bust
ness will be suspended In the postof-
flee while the offices are moved to the
Kellam building. For perhaps a
month. Topeka people will-wend their
way to Fifth and Kansas avenue ex-
pecting to buy stamps and get mail at
the federal building. It will take
weeks to accustom the people to the
new office. The Christmas mail. which
will come in large quantities, will have
sufficient space in the new office, 90
there will be little danger of delay.

WHAT'S THE USE!

Correspondent. who is evidently a
good trencherman and no vegetarian
at that. thinks we ought to have the
grazing lands of the Orinoco or the
Amazon to raise meat for table.
Beef Is produced in Argentina for
exactly one-third the cost of our
native meat. 1t might be imported
subject to duty for one-haf the
cost of the home article--but isn't!
Why? Because the source of sup
ply Is outside of American control.
VIII such a half measure as free
trade do any good? OF course not.
Argument is quite correct, but by
the same token even If we owned the
grazing lands of the Orinoco and the
Amazon, would the price of slice oil
roast beef be any cheaper?
We trow not.
The same mysterious combination
of persons and circumstances, which
in fifteen years has raised the price
from twenty-five to sixty cent a cut
would till be at work.

In his recent talk in Hammond on
the need of Lake county home for
delinauents. Judged McMahan pointed
out the growing needs of the Juvenile
court. The number Of delinquents who
are often innocent creatures of unfor-
tunate circumstances is growing be-
yond the two probation officers for
that personal care which delinquents
should have.
The spirit Of the Big Brother Move
ment may be summed up in the fol-
lowing words from Mr.. Hermann on
that subject:
Let each Elk take some Little
Brother by the hand and with words
of encouragement lead him to the
plane occupied by the Big Brother in
the world of business. of professional
men. of industry, science and more
than all. to the plane of seif-respect

THE NEW REGION MAP.

An effort is being made now to
raise the money necessary for the
construction of a new map of the
entire Calumet region which will
show the cities of Hammond, Whiting
and East Chicago in their true light
as the real heart of the great World S
Workshop.
To do this it is necessary to include
in the map all of the territory IN the
Calumet region; that is the region in
Illinois as well as Indiana. There is
no good reason why the maps Of this
region should stop at the state. line

MICHIGAN-THE STRAW.

Michigan is something of a straw
quite big enough to serve as well as
any other straw to show which way
the wind is blowing. We ourselves
did not attach too much Importance
to the municipal elections mentioned
last week as indicating whether OF
not the bull moose party. as party,
had gained a footing in the country.
But Michigan is too big not TO be
really significant.
And the change there is too strik
ling. Last November the state gave
Roosevelt his biggest plurality Now
the Roosevelt party is a bad third to
the republican and the democratic
parties.
For the life of us we can draw but
one inference. 1t is that the bull
moose strength of last autumn was
not bull moose strength at all, not
at all the expression of a full and
permanent commitment to new
party, but something else.
| What else?
| We do not pretend that our answer
is more than guesswork, but we
should say that the great showing
made by the new party last autumn
was due mainly to two things
Rooseyelt's personal popularity and
indignation with the republican
party. Perhaps we ought to add 9
