Roosevelt's Grand Opportunity.

Again in his spectacular career Thee-
dore Roosevelt has grand opportunity
II is not the opportunity TO crafty
selfish and unpatriotiC aniniticn TO serve
a third term as President. II is the
opportunity to rcunite the republican
prosressives now divided between the
republican and progressive parties. as the
direct result of the personal quarrel be-
tween him and Taft. He shares with
Taft the responsibility for this division
and for the common disaster which re-
suited Both men are under heavy obi
cations to make amends 10 the extent, if
necessary. of complete self-sacritice.
The baliotin- in the last presidential

The existing political condition is
not wholesome for the republic, since

Old Song Modernized.

Drink to mo only with thine eyes,"
A poet sang one day,
As. with . sense Of soft surprise,
He gazed in eyes of gray.
'Oh, with thine eyes pray drink to me
And mine will drink to YOU"
He warhled in q tender key.
Entranced by eyes of blue.
And then he sang to eyes of brown
And eyes as black as night
The judge and jury wore frown
That filled his soul with fright.
Fer breach Of promise made his fate
A thing of knots and kinks.
Tho way he went was far from straight
Because he mixed his drinks.

IN INTEREST OF FAIRNESS.

To the Editor Of the State Journal:
It is charged in the press of Topeka
that in giving trading stamps We are
giving something for nothing. We
believe this does us a great injustice
and ask this space to place ourselves
in the PROPER light before the public
In giving these small pieces of
printed paper with mucilage on the
back we are giving a discount for the
prompt payment of bills. Isn't this
perfectly legitimate
The gas and electric light companies
here in Topeka give their patrons a
certain fixed discount IL they pay their
bills of one month on or before the
tenth of the following month.
Wholesalers and manufacturers
over the country allow the retailers q
discount if he pays his bills promptly.
We are adopting these same meth
ods with our patr ons and do not con-
slider we are giving something for
nothing" but are giving them some
thing for which we receive value
therefor in return by the prompt pay
ment of our customers. bills.

however, the governor recalled that
he had promised to lend his name as

paper wass the one in view.

USED U. S. MAILS.
To Sell Cent Handbags for 81 Is
/ Federal Charge.

Because their leather handbags are
said to be worthless, Inez and c. c.
Kay Of Hutchinson will face the
charge of using the mails to defraud
when federal court convenes in
Wichita next month.
Kay and his wife were engaged in
the manufacture of leather handbags
in Hutchinson for several years and
were arrested last September. Their
alleged scheme was to advertise in va
rious mait order publications, saying
that they would pay $40 a hundred
for women to make handbags. 1t
is alleged that when women replied
to the advertisements they were
asked to send for a sample handbag.
The handbags were declared to be
worth from 81 to So.
The United States district attorney,
Fred Robertson, has q dozen of the
handbags which he will offer as evil
dence in the case. Instead of the
elaborate slashed leather bags which
the Salt City Leather Works were said
to have advertised, only fiimsy little
cloth bags are in the custody of the
attorney. Two counts face the Hutch
inson couple and federal authorities
claim that they have a fair chance to
convict them. The handbags are said
to be worth about five cents apiece.
