Speeding Up the Session

The session of the legislature, it now
appears, will be a protracted one. 1t
is dragging along into four months and
nothing of Importance accomplished.
This delay cannot be laidin any meas
ure to the presiding officers in the two
houses. Speaker Whittet and Lieut..
Gov. Dithmar have done their share in
speeding up the program. Speaker
Whittet, as far as has been in his
power has tolerated but little loafing
and has shown but little patience with
dilatory tactics. When the hour for
converting comes the Speaker invariably
comes down with his gavel and is in
sistent upon getting started on the
days business. If there is any criticism
to come later for long drawn out leg
islature but little responsibility should
be char 1ed to Whitter a1d Dithmar.

1914.
113, $40 persons were killed.

All were walking on the railroad tracks

You may write thousand letters
To the maiden you adore,
And declare in every letter
That you love her more and more
You may praise her grace and beaut.
In a thousand glowing lines,
And compare her eyes of azure
With the brightest star that shines;
If you had the pen of Bryan
You would use it every day
In composing written worship
To your sweetheart far away;
But the letter far more welcome
To an older, gentler breast,
Is the letter to your mother
From the boy she loves the best.

SO s9ing Seeds Of Kindness

The recent trip of District Attorney
James H. Hill, Humane Officer Fl. E.
Stone and Sheriff Henry L. Hale
about the county should be considered
an act of kindness by those visited and
should result in producing good fruit.
Men who are spending money for booze
or in other foolish ways instead of pro-
viding the necessities for their families
paying debts or starting a bank &C.
count, should be informed of the error
they are making. Those who may be
responsible for the divergence Of time
or money belonging to another into
wrong channels, should also be notified
of the fact. The work begun by the
above named officers should go on. 1t
is splendid idea. Sank county is one
OF the leading counties in the state IN
many ways and why should not the
people be improved as we'll as the pro-
ducts of the soil. Sank county might
be made to lead in civic development,
and progress along this line would be
sounded far and wide. Better homes,
greater thrift, improved morals and
other like elements make life more
worth living. When wives or children
are being abused, when money is being
wasted, when animals suffer from
cruelty, or other conditions contrary to
the best interest of the community
exist, the officers should be notified and
an investigation should follow. A little
advice from time to time may do q
world of good. Let the visits Of the
county officers about the county occur
occasionally. 1t should mean uplift
and greater happiness and what, in all
the world, is more satisfying than one
who is happy in his surroundings.

Men can no longer shirk,

the historical museum at Madison.
The first map of Madison, as plated

fore the city actually existed is in the
exhibit.
| How Milwaukee was first planned is
shown in the original map drawn by
Morgan L. Martin in 1888. Daniel
Whitney's plan of Navarino, now Green
Bay, is also on exhibit. William Can

mound at Baraboo lies in one of the
cases with detailed description of how

drawing is in the possession of the
Sank County Historical society. The
original notes of the surveys of La
Crosse and Prairie du Chen are found
next to the Indian mound notes.
Great hardships were encountered
by all surveyors who had a part in
st 4king out the state of Wi sconsin.

On Saturday the Woman's club was
entertained by Miss Van Eta G. Rey-
holds and the hostess presented a paper
on the uses and abuses of great for
tunes. She spoke Of what were called
great fortunes in the beginning of this
republic and these were indeed modest
in com paris9n with those of the present
time. The war of the Rebellion er-
ables number to amass fortunes and
since then many have accumulated
great wealth. Miss Reynolds spoke of
the different ways in which fortunes
are being used, speaking especially of
the Rockefeller foundation and the
libraries built by Andrew Carnegie as
well as his contribution of q million dol
lars to the Pan American building at
Washington. She thought the Rookie
teller foundation was Of great benefit
in that it enabled research work to be
done and encouraged others to assist in
movements of that kind. The evil in
connections with fortunes is that they
are often so controlled that it matters
not what the loss to the public or
workers may be, the holders of the
bonds and stocks are paid the regular
dividends.
The following officers were elected:
President Miss Edna Varnell.
Vice-president-Mrs. Frank Avery.
Secretary Miss Helen Riney.
Treasurer Mrs. L. w. Sayles.
The program for next year was read
and Mrs. Martha Johnston and Miss
Edna Varnell were appointed to ar.

ROTARIANS MEET
First Fall Luncheon Held at e.
L. C. Hall Today.
g. g. Moore Tells of Frisco Ma.
tiOnal Convention.

The first meeting of the Topeka
Rotary club since last June was held
today noon in U. c. T. hall. A large
number of the members turned out
for the affair. A luncheon was served
in the hall. Robert Stone the new
executive, presided.
There was no set program for the
first luncheon of the new season, ex-
cept that George Godfrey Moore, for
mer president, was billed to tell about
the national Rotary convention at San
Francisco. Moore was a delegate
from the local club. He said that the
coast Rotarians and those enroute
welcomed the Kansas City special in
an elaborate manner.
''At San Francisco" he said 1--WE
had a banquet in a hotel. 1t was the
largest dinner party that was ever
held on one hotel floor, 1900 people
eating. There were 800 walters to
serve the banqueters, $1,000 pieces of
China, $4,000 oysters and food and
service in similar proportions"
Mr.. Moore urged that the Topeka
ROtarians get together this fall and
winter and make it big year. The
national president and the second vice
president of the Rotary club prom
ised that they would visit Topeka dur
ing the coming year.
Both Moore and the retiring secre-
tary, J. NJ. Brunt, who was succeeded
by William F. Axtell, were presented
with framed testimonials from the
club members, who showed their keen
appreciation of the officers efforts in
this manner.

BREAK UP A GANG
Law Enforcement Officers Watch for
Bicycle Thieves.

In an effort to stop the sale of
stolen bicycles by juveniles to sec
and hand stores, Edward Rooney,
probation officer, will ask the city
attorney and county commissioners to
draft and commissioners to pass an
ordinance compelling second hand
stores to report all purchases of BIZ
cycles to the police, similar to the
manner in which pawn brokers make
daily reports
The last four boys sent to the re-
formatory from juvenile court were
charged with stealing wheels. Off
GERS have been working for nearly two
months to break up what appears to
be a we'll organized gang of wheel
thieves but thefts continue to be re-
ported with regularity. A number of
second hand stores in the city are un-
der suspicion by the police of know
ing the wheels have been stolen when
the purchases are made.

State Department After All of
Archibald Letters.

Washington, Sept. 22.-Acting Sec
rotary of State Polk announced today
that the department now is in possess
sion of all but two of the documents
taken from James F. ]. Archibald
which resulted in the request for the
recall of the Austro-Hungarian am
bassador
1t was declared that until the re-
naming letter, one from DR.. Dumba

jects," and letter from Count Won
Bernstorff, reach the department, no
further action which might affect
other persons implicated will be taken.
All correspondence made public by the
British government, it was made plain,
was before the department in the form
of summaries or cabled dispatches
when President Wilson decided upon
the recall of the Austrian am bassador.
Publication of some of the letters
has aroused considerable speculation
here as to what the future course of
the government may be with regard to
some Officials of the Austrian and
German embassies. Officials would
not comment on their letter of Captain
Fritz Won Papen, the German military
attache, in which he said:

whether big or little, done? Was it,

unduly restricting or unduly obstruct

undue restriction or obstruction of
trade, and not of undue volume of

sets no limit to the size which bust
ness may attain by internal expansion
by growth from within. It freely
permits combinations of trade units
which supplement each other-the in
tegration of industry. 1t permits
combinations of competitive units
within limits. 1t prohibits, however,
in any manner whatever the COM
bining of competitive traders or trade
units which together would occupy a
preponderant position in any branch
of trade" This indicates that the Of
