LISTS ARE Open
Plan to Enroll Volunteer Road
Workers for Aug. 1919.
Governor Capper Apologies for
Mayor House and Tandy.

The enlistment of men for work on
the good roads days-August' 8 and
19-proclaimed by Arthur Capper
governor, began in the business dis
trict of Topeka today. Many of those
who cannot personally take the time
to put on overalls and old clothes and
spend two days in manual labor are
contributing four dollars towards the
cause which will be5used for the en-
ployment of substitutes.
The men who are working SySte-
matically in the business district
working by blocks-in an effort to as
sure the success of the good roads
days as far as Topeka is concerned
volunteered their services at the big

cial club quarters Tuesday night. They

night meeting. They all emphasized

men August Is and 10. Robert Stone
presided.
The criticism of the plan for work
ing the roads made by city officials
was unfair and probably not intended
according to Governor Capper.
At the close of the meeting John
Peck took a shot at both J. E. House,
commissioner, because of criticism of
the plan for working the roads.

BATTLE TO RELEASE q men

ASSailed.
Hearing in LeavenwOrth; Pris.
OnerS To Be i'm Court.

Ieavenworth, Kan, Aug. IA
habeas corpus suit has been filed in
the first division of the United States
district court to obtain the release of
Harry S. Montgomery, formerly presi-
dent of the Terre Haute board of pub
lie works, and John Green, a mer-
chant, who served as an election in
spector, from the federal penitentiary
here. This is the opening of a legal
battle to bring about the release of the
twenty-One Terre Haute election fraud
prisoners confined in the penitentiary.
The petition alleges that the COM
mitment papers are void beca use
there is no valid judgment against the
prisoners; that the Indictment was
not in the Jurisdiction of the United
States courts, and only cognizable by
to hold the election of November 2,
1914, was conferred by Indiana and
not by the constitution and laws of
the United States: and also that in
sending letters urging persons to vote
did not come under the penal code of
making an improper use of the mails,
as no attempt was made to obtain
money or property by fraud.
In addition to the United States at
torney for Kansas, the United States
attorney who prosecuted the Tcrre
Haute officials is expected to come
here and help defend the govern
ment's side in an attempt to hold the
prisoners.
Judge John Pollock is said to be in
the north. 1t is expected the hearing
will be held in this city the last week
of this month or early in September.
The penitentiary officials desire the
hearing held in Leavenworth, so the
prisoners may be in court at the hear

Topeka merchants are uniting to
give both out-of-town and local shop

August 18-will be the second annual
Dollar Day. On that occasion a
silver dollar in many instances will
have the purchasing value of two.
Local retailers will take pleasure in
giving big value for every large cir
cular coin spent or the equivalent
thereof in Chicken feed"
Visitors from other towns may take
advantage of the offer of the Topeka
Rebate association to refund railroad
fair in proportion to the amount of
purchase
No favorites will be played on DOL
lar Day." There will be special bar
gains to interest all classes of persons
the rich and the poor, and the men,
will go farther on that day than on
any other day in the year.
1t is possible that some of the stores
will offer special bargains for dollars
made in certain years, but they will
speak for themselves. Each firm will
make its own announcements Con-
sequently it will be well to watch
carefully the advertisements in the
State Journal.

was a losing job for Uncle Sam, even
smeIter was off the railway, and the
postotfice had to hire wagons. A
butcher reduced steer to mailable
weights and sent him at a profit, at
the cost of the railways, although the
government got the TANKS.
There are reports of postal contrac-
tors who have made business for them
selves by means of the parcel post. A
West Virginia postmaster who also
was a grocer received an order for
four barrels of flour. So he sold him
self stamps and delivered the flour in
bags through parcel post The gov
eminent was bound to supply him
with the stamps cancelled through his
office, and also was bound to deliver
the flour. Nobody paid for the trans
portatiOn of the flour. The railway
was bound to carry it under its four
year contract. The government paid
nothing for the additional service.
The transaction was strictly regular in
all respects. and yet there is some
thing about it better worth conSidera-
ton than the oddities of the case.
There are six mail order houses ship
ping 100000 packages apiece on
which the freight and express charges
are avoided. They know their rights.
and it is an easy guess that they could
tell strange tales of how they put 1T
over the railways and Uncle Sam. The
people value the postal parcel service,
and do not want it crippled. Also
they do not want it abused. The gov
eminent itself sets the worst example
in this respect.

For some years the express COM
panies have had a hard road to travel,
but recently the clouds have been dis
appearing and at present the outlook
is brighter than it has been for a
long time. With the recent increase
allowed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission in rates the officials of
the companies figure they will be able
to show a clean slate at the end of
their fiscal years in the future. There
has been gradual return of business
to the companies also which had been
diverted to the parcel post. This is
especially true of merchants who pre-
fer to have a receipt from the buyer.
1t is not believed that the increase in
the size and weight of the business
taken by the postoffice will affect to
any material extent the present bust
ness of the express companies.

ROAD OF ROMANCE.
Georgia Editor Praises Santa Fe
Railroad.

G. S. Chapman, editor of the sand
ersville, Ga, Georgian, who lately was
IN Topeka with the National Editorial
association, has a letter in his paper
about the trip, from which the fol-
lowing paragraph is taken:
The Santa Fe railway, over which
we travelled from Kansas City to Los
Angeles, is one of the most remark
able in the world. 1t traverses the
very heart of romantic America-the
land of the conquestadores and pa
dres, the pathfinders, traders and
pioneers of the sixties and seventies
of the past century. This great Sys-
tenn has n mileage of eleven thousand,
and traverses thirteen states. The
company uses 10000 tons of coal from
the mines of Kansas every month,
which gives some idea of the size or
the road. Santa Fe headquarters are
in Topeka, a beautiful city with a citi-
zenship as hospitable as anything a
traveller will find in the south. and
that is the highest compliment 1 can
