Statement OF GRAY
STIRS SARCASM OF
CONNERSv|LLE news

Commenting editorially on Con-
gressman Gray's statement on the in
ternational situation, the Corners
vile News says:
THAT interview or additional state
ment which Finly Gray promised to
give the Richmond Palladium, had its
birth, as promised. But the world
would have missed little had Finly
saved his paper and thought. for, as
usual, he remains on the top rail OF
the fence and squarely in the center.
In a mountain of words he cautions
everybody to say nothing, in chorus,
and thus emulate his own illustrious
example. He does says that the coun-
try is to be congratulated pm Its
president and secretary OF state, on
being the right men in the right place
during the present threatened crisis.
II Finly has any inside information
showing that Mr.. Bryan is doing any
thing worth while, or is even permit
ted to direct any part of the interna-
tional controversy. he seems to have
scooped the Washington correspond
ents. On one point all will agree with
Mr.. Gray, who says that the country is
to be congratulated because congress
is not in session. But that might ap-
ply to all periods alike with equal
force. Finly has sort Of creepy
feeling that the impassioned speeches
Of some congressman might start
something. II all congressman are like
Finly. his fears are groundless. They
would probably be afraid to express
a candid opinion openly on any i'm
portant question, at least until after
the congressional conventions were
over"

WITH A LOUD SMACK.
Tom Humphreys Is Kissed by a
Grateful Client.

There is no doubt now in the mind
of one Topeka man as to the manner
of salutation among men of certain
foreign nations. The skeptic has been
convinced. Tom Humphreys has been
kissed; and by a gentleman of foreign
birth; kissed first upon the hand and
then upon the cheek; and with a loud
resounding smack.
Tuesday a Russian who, according
to Humphreys, was d faithful repro
duction of a CosSack such as you see
at the circus, went to the lawyer to
get some advice. The noble foreigner
could see no way out of his difficulty.
Humphreys inquired into the case,
and in the intensity of his emotion

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
Commercial Club Wants Enlistmcnts
in Committee of 100.

The initial steps towards organ
izing Committee of One Hundred"
within the ranks of the Commercial
club were taken Tuesday night at a
dinner held in the club quarters and
attended by thirty members of the
Topeka Jobbers & Manufacturers as
ISOLATION. This will be a group of
men who will have the interests of To-
peka at heart and who abide by the
decision of the majority in all matters
of policy. The committee will be ex-
pected to throw it's entire energy into
the accomplishment of tasks that will
be for the general good of the COM
munity.
]. Will Kelley, secretary of the
Commercial club, has had in mind
the formation of such an organiza-
ton within the Commercial club for
some time, but he had not planned to
start it so soon. The proposition was
sprung because of the fact that MEM
bers of the Topeka Jobbers & Manu-
facturers' association present at the
meeting could not get together on
any plan for Merchants Week. This
fact called forth some remarks from
H. H. Pugh, president of the organiza-
ton, who was of the opinion that To-
peka has not been doing enough in
the way of town boosting
Secretary Kelley then pointed out
that while he considered the Topeka
Commercial club ranked with the
best clubs of the country, there was
a tendency on the part of Topeka
business men not to pull together
At the close of the talk Ed Grote
secretary of the Jobbers & Manu-
facturers' association arose and con-
fessed that he had been a ''black
sheep and stated that he desired to
put in an application for membership
in the Commercial club.
George P. McEntire. Samuel E.
Lux, and H. H. Pugh volunteered as
members of the Committee of One
Hundred.
Secretary Kelley V i'll send out a let
ter to the club membership asking
for volunteers

the man from Russia seized Toms
hand and planted thereon a healthy
kiss.
When the lawyer told him the way
out of his trouble the Russian was so
overcome that he wept. This husky,
bewhiskered subject of the car wept
and walled and the briny tears flowed
down his cheeks But the real climax
came when the Russian asked the
amount of his fee. Realizing that the
man was in hard luck and probably
broke Humphreys told him there
would be no charge. If Mrs. Hum
phreys had been listening in the hall
there would be some explaining for
Tom to do. For the smack was heard
in the adjoining offices.
Humphreys did not state whether or
not the whiskers tickled. He is still
wondering how the men of Russia
kiss their sweetheartS if the salutation
among the men is as vigorous as the
one administered to him.

WILL FIX A DATE.
Special Committee to Decide on Time
of "Merchants' Week.

A committee composed of w. H.
Davis, George P. McEntire, w. o. An
derson, H. NJ. Harris and James Mel
son will decide upon a date for the
proposed Merchants Week" enter
tainment. Members of the Topeka
Jobbers and Manufacturers associa-
ton failed to agree as to a desirable
date at a dinner held Tuesday night
at the Commercial club quarters.
Samuel E. Lux, president and man
ager of the big free fair, and several
others favored holding the event for
the Kansas retailers fair week in Sep
tember, but this proposal was voted
down. There were others who wanted
to postpone it until next June. H H.
Pugh, president of the association sug-
gested that the Midwinter exposition
be turned into a strictly Topeka
made products exhibition and that
the merchants be invited here at that
time. That idea met with the appro-
val of a number of those present.

How Plain-Figure Prices Protect
the Public

II price marks are put on goods in
secret ciphers there is no way the
customer can tell what is the right
price.
The secret cipher price mark makes
it possible for the merchant to raise
the price whenever he sees a chance
to hold up customer.
The same thing applies II there is
no price mark at all on the goods.
Whenever a merchant tells you he
will sell you goods-say at cost and
10 per cent.-don't take his secret
cipher cost mark, but ask him to
show you his invoice price on the ar
ticle, for no merchant employing help
can do business on or near anything
like 10 per cent.
My plain figure method Is guar
antee that prices are the same to all,
and prices are right at konopik's
Furniture Store, next door west of
court house. a24-ml5
