They Were Surprised.
One young woman from the east
who has never been west before, re
marked the live spirit that greeted
the editors in Topeka this afternoon.
My father said that it was this way
in the west she confided to friend,
but I did not believe him. L was
certainly surprised to see SO many au-
tomobiles at the depot to meet us and
the reception accorded us was diff
ferent from what we could possibly
expect in the east"
All of the editors express SatiSfac-

pared for them at the Commercial
club.
Among those on the train who are
well known here, is Charles w. Price
of New York, editor and publisher of
at one time a Topeka newspaper man
and the first city editor of the Topeka
Capital. He resigned that position to

Burro Parade for Editors.
When the editors who are travelling
to the Pacific coast on two special
Santa Fe trains arrive in Santa Fe,
N. NJ, Saturday, they will be taken for
a burro parade, 400 burros having
been rounded up for the occasion.
Information to this effect was re-
ceived today by J. NJ. ConneH, general
passenger agent of the Santa Fe, who
is keeping in touch with the plans to
give the newspaper men a good time.
This will be great sport for those
who have never been on burro," Mr..
ConneH said. las the charm of going
sleigh riding is getting upset, so the
delight in burro riding is falling off.
In either case the distance tumbled is
so short that there is no danger of get
ting hurt AS the burro is the slow
est animal on record, I have asked
our friends in Santa F'e to confine the
parade to the city limits, in order that
the tourists may be able to return to
the station by train time"
Sheridan Plough of Hutchinson, the
biggest man in the National Editorial
association, will be provided with two
burros. In case of burro shortage,
