Topeka
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author of AT Good Old Siwash.o

~OPEKA is situated in the heart Of
Kansas, 1900 miles from Broad
l. way, but well within the country
club and ornamental light belt. 1t is
the capital of Kansas, which Is enough
of job to keep any two cities busy.
Topeka has only $4,000 people If you
are from the east or almost over $4,000
if you are from Kansas. It is a gigantic
town for its size and has several mann
moth attractions, including the largest
creamery in the world, the largest rail-
road shops in the world, the biggest
pipe organ between Chicago and Salt
Lake City and magazine with nearly
a million circulation.
Topeka is 20 years old and was
founded by free sellers who have con-
tinued to be almost phenomenally free.
1t is situated on the banks of the Kaw,
which sluices out the lower wards each
spring and is a large rectangular town
with square blocks and a main business
thoroughfare so wide that two wind
storms can do business independently on
it, side by side on a March day.
Topeka is like most Kansas towns.
1t is twice as big as its population
shows because its citizens move twice
as fast as ordinary citizens. Topeka is
ahead of date waiting for the world to
catch up. Topeka's newspapers occupy
marble palaces. TOpeka's churches hold
overflow class meetings in the furnace
room. ToPeka's capitol building has gar

Topeka has the best one-armed golf
player II the United States.
Topeka was made famous BY the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail
road which, however, kept the city in a
state OF nervous prostration for years by
threatening to move away its shops.
They are now solidly anchored and the
rallroadrailrOad has moreover given the
city metropolitan skyline by building
a ten-story office building next to the
capitol building, where governor Stubs
has acted for several years as a non
conductor between the two.
ToPeka's people are prosperous, happy,
enterPrislng, literary and thirsty, exist
ing on ginger ale and milder drinks. Its
two greatest citizens are DR.. Sheldon.

The state capitol building at Topeka
IS much finer than the ordinary state
house and can be looked at even by an
architect without pain copyrighted
