catch five or six fine lin or rock cod
and frequently catch fine, large
halibuts. The people frequently
get seasick. but they don't mind
that as the fun of fishing and rid

they may have in this line. This
fishing business is one of the at
fractions that is growing in favor
all the time. Some FIVE or six of

engaged in the deep sea fishing

Duck and Jordan Bound Over to Fed
eraI Grand Jury.

A preliminary hearing charging J.
w C. Jordan an,' Ernest Duck with
mailing obscene matter was held Men
day afternoon in he judges chamber
of the federal building before United
States Commissioner Frank Campbell.
Duck and Jordan were bound ever to
the grand jury next October on ST.
600 bond. Sheriff L. L. Kiene
marched the pair to the county Jail.
Duck a white boy, apparently Jor-
dams tool, is a half wit and doesn't
realize the offense he has committed
against the federal government Jor-
dan, a negro. has a police record in
several states.
The story leading to the arrest of
the pair Saturday evening is crude.
Duck left lascivious letter in a room
of the Kaw Package Manufacturing
company; 1t was found by one of the
wcmen employees and delivered to the
manager who placed it in the hands of
]. w. z. Hughes, chief of police At
the suggestion of the chief a trap was
laid for Duck. More correspondence
resulted in the girls promising to bring
a friend to meet Duck and Jordan at
North side dyke. Chief Hughes, Po-
licewoman Eva Corning and several
deputies hid in the clover near the
rendezvous Jordan was taken into
custody and gave information result
ing in the arrest of Duck.
Attorney Bone conducted the hear
ing Monday afternoon. Testimony was
given by federal. county and city Off
Gals. The names of the girls con-
nected with the affair are not known;
correspondence was carried on I'M
der the pseudonym of Miss J. E.
Smith. The two girls, the darky and

of them agreed. Chief Hughes and
First Sergeant Ross told the tale of
the capture; Sheriff Kiene testified to
the handwriting of the two. The let

HURT THE PAPERS.
Have the Chinch Bugs, But Not the
Wheat Fields.

Among the favorite tools of the
crop killers are the hessian fly and
the chinch bug. Not a summer sea-
son passes but this gentry fill the
newspapers, or as much of them as
they can, with many and direful tales
about the tremendous damage that
has been wrought by these ''pesky
critters" Nor are the professors OF
agriculture at all slow to add their
words of weight about these pests of
the fields and how inimical they are
to crops. These gentlemen know
whereof they speak, without doubt
and the world of agriculture would
surely be even more OF a gold mine if
the Hessian fly and the chinch bug
coud be placed effectively among
the missing.
That conditions, though, in respect
to the ravages of these bugs are not
often as bad as they are painted,is
made apparent by a letter which was
received recently by the State Journal
from Palmer. 1t evidently comes from
a man who is close to the grass roots,
and expresses what he is to say in
one of those forceful fashions that is
always so convincing. The letter fol-
lows:
Editor Topeka State Journal:
Once more / am under the painful
necessity of making the announcement
that while the chinch bugs and Hessian
fly have without a doubt nearly ruined
some of the leading newspapers they
haven't hurt the wheat fields bit.

just pride in the American soldier.
Standing there with streaming eyes
and overlooking soul he is constrained
to cry out that the war was worth
all it cost. He feels that whatever
may come in the future the sacred
principles of our government will be
carried safely over all obstacles by
the spirit which moved men to glori-
ously perish on the now hallowed
ground of Chickamauga. No soldier

gent, determined and at the same
time SO generous, just and humane
as the American.

Brown went sorrowfully and reverentIy

We were pleasantly entertained by his

Wednesday morning we were in St
Louis, where we took a Rock Island
train for Topeka, where we arrived
near dusk that evening. The world is

high minded people everywhere. But
we were proud when we entered the
Kaw valley to be able to say that here
in Sunny Kansas we have made our
homes.

Readers Have
Faith in Ads.

People no longer read
the advertisements in a
newspaper with skepticism.
The people of today have
faith in the advertisers and
their advertisements. They
know that great businesses
are built on honest adver-
Using statements.
They know that most
merchants do not trifle
with the truth, and they
feel that when they patron
ize the stores that adver-
tise in The State Journal
they are getting their
moneys worth-full value
for what they pay.
Leading merchants ev-
erywhere are truthful, con-
scientious, and honest.
Business today is conduct
ed along broad lines; SER
vice of real value is given;
merchandise of real value
is given. The policies of
the stores are liberal; the
people are getting rightful
return for their dollars.
Then, too, the reputable
newspaper guards it's col
umns against deceptive adj
vertisements. Ads that do
not ring true are not know
ingly accepted.

MRS. WALLACE DENIES
Says She Never Did Taunt Mrs.
Morris.
Editor State journal:

Editor State Journal:
wish to deny that either myself or
any of my family have tainted the
Norris family or anyone of them on
the acquittal of my son as has been
reported, and any statement from any
one that 1 or either of us have done
So is absolutely false. 1 have had no
conversation with the Morris family
since the trial, and 1 do not believe
that my son has had any. I knew
that he was afraid of the Morrises, as
he had been told that they had
threatened to kill him if he was ac-
quilted. Knowing the feeling that Mr..
and Mrs. Morris had against him as
he did, it does not seem reasonable
that he would put himself in the way
of either of them, much less taunt
them. .
The case against Andrew was we'll
tried and an intelligent jury found him
unbiased person who heard the testi-
mony as 1 did, and others, will say
that the verdict was wrong. The I'M
disputed testimony was that the man
seen with Miss Morris on Sixth and
Kansas avenue at about 10 O'Clock,
the night she was missing, was not
Wallace, and that neither of the two
colored men on the car she took going
north was Andrew. 1t would seem
that this, with the undisputed testi-
mony also that Andrew was home at
that hour of the night, should satisfy
anyone that the verdict was correct
No one has more sympathy for the
Morris family than we have, or re-
greet the unfortunate affair more than
we do. MRS, L. P. WALLACE.

able on the trees along the river and
creeks. They appear to be deliberat-

is the comment of farmers that as
soon as the dry hot weather comes
and the trees lose some of their life
that these insects will swoop down
onto the corn fields and probably de-
stroy them.

There is no distinction either in Lon
don English or New York English for the
man who is ION the water wagon" That
is one subject upon which We agree.
Also since the methods of American
Journalism have invaded London, We have
adopted your phrase putting on the lid, "
although il is not yet entirely clear to
the English speaking public.
must admit with regret that in Lon
don we have not been able to introduce
in our English the term right away"
This is still and distinctly an American
privilege which we have been unable TO
live up TO.
There are a few expressions in London
English. however, that have not found
their way to New York. In London when
we are very clever, we say we are
smart as a whip; If we are punctual we
are fright on the spot" If We are clear
and direct, we say we are plain as

We could go on indefinitely, as | said
at first, compiling a story Of international

which would most effectively describe

might apply to such a book also.
