period under Republican law

A few months ago the Presl-
dent determined to get next"
to Tammany Hall by appointing
one Of their favored braves as
postmaster of New York. The
independent Democrats of the
metropolis made a great outcry
and the President deferred ac-
ton. In characteristic fashion
he has now tried to dodge the is
STE by naming a member of the
state senate who has friendly re-
lations to Tammany, but the SEN
ator refuses to be the goat. He
will not take the postmastersnlp
and the President is once more
placed between the devil and the
deep sea. In either event he
loses. He lacked the nerve to go
through with a straight Tamnna-
ny appointment, and if he now
takes some one who is approved
by the Independents, he will fail
to placate Mr.. Murphy,

ABE HAS Went AWAY"
State journal Reporter Accepts Job
on X. c. Journal

Ever sit on the sunny side of a
straw stack on a chilly fall day, think
ing what a delightful thing the old
sun is, then have a snow cloud sneak
up on the hind side of the stack and
blot out the sun and all his warmth
in a twinkling?
Ever sit before a warm fire, figuring
on the back of an envelope how you
could get thru the month with maybe
80 cents to spare anu answer the door
bell to meet the coal man with an old
bill for $40?
Either way you get a chill. and that
explains in a degree the feeling in the
State Journal office since ABE went
away"
Abe Gordon's fund of good nature
and his ready wit are worth as much
as any old sun that ever happened.
| The Kansas City Journal sneaked up
behind the stack and waved something
at Abe-maybe an increase in salary
and he left.
After he had talked the matter over
with everyone in the office and a
friend had written the telegram of ac-
ceptance, numerous things happened
to Abe. He owned a fairly new meal
ticket he had planned to stretch out
until some time next month But he
figured a Topeka meal ticket wouldn't
be worth a lot in Kansas City so he
broke his semi-fast. He ate big man
sized meals three or four times a day
for two days. There were still three
days to go when the girl at the coun-
ter stopped him.
Your tickets is punched full of
holes" said she, and you owe 60 cents
besides
Abe recovered gradually, missed the
next meal, then called a meeting of
the ways and means committee in the
I office to see what could be done for
the remaining three days. He was
fixed out with enough for light
| lunches, but no banquets.
| Finally the day came for Abe to go.
He spent most of it calling upon
friends. He intended to leave about
o'clock and completely forgot he had
u trunk, bird cage, and a fruit box
| full of books to put on the train, along
with two suit cases and a gtip. Along
about 2:30 o'clock he remembered
He made the station in time to get a

doing that he forgot one IF his suit
ceses and failed to check his trunk

Abe's suggestion was that he get off
then and there. They compromised

Because He Expressed Himself

Because they expressed themselves
in favor of arbitration in settlement
of the train-service controversy, one
Santa Fee engineer has already been

issued late this afternoon from the

One of the men was employed on a

but no verdict his been reached, or at

Officials of the railroad company

to wade in water breast high, neces-
stating placing stills under his bee
hives and causing the loss of fruit
trees and chickens. Mr.. Tandy doesn't

TO FIX UP PAVING.
City Will ReSurface 10 Blocks
With Asphalt.
Worn Out Brick and CObble
Stone To Be Covered.

Eighteen blocks of worn out brick
and cobble stone paving will be resur-
faced with asphalt this fall, according
to an announcement made today by
Commissioner W. G. Tandy. Work on
the improvements began this morning.
The total cost of resurfacing is esti-
mated at approximately $4,000. The
money comes from the commissioner s
budget.
A year ago, the. city purchased an

Ffhe work must be done at once
while the brick is dry and hot" said
Commissioner Tandy. In some in
stances we are repairing because the
property owners are unable to meet
special assessments for new paving
which is badly needed. The covering
will average one inch in thickness"
Topeka probably has experimental
as extensively in repairing paving
with asphalt as any city in the state
Commissioner Tandy believes it has
proven a success, The asphalt cover
ing on the Melan bridge was placed
there six years ago. Following are
the streets which will undergo re-
surfacing:
The Streets.
Huntoon street from Western ave-
nue. to Fillmore street.
Tenth avenue from Harrison to
Tyler streets.
Seventh street from Kansas avenue
to Topeka avenue.
Sixth avenue from Quincy street to
the viaduct. With the resurfacing
completed and the viaduct and bridge
open to traffic, this street will become
the main thoroughfare to the East
side, Commissioner Tandy believes
jefferson street from Fourth street
to Sixth avenue. This street is all shot
to pieces and before resurfacing can
be done, it will be necessary to repair
certain parts of the concrete base.
North Kansas avenue from Norris
to Gordon streets. This bit of work
probably will be the last to receive
attention.
Another announcement from the
city engineers office today is to the
effect that work has begun on the
laying of sixteen blocks of concrete
sidewalks in various parts of the city.
The work is done by the city and
charged to the benefited property
owners.

GREECE IN SOON

Brunt of New Move.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Army gen.

be called upon to bear the brunt of the
attack of Rumania upon Austria Hun
gary. According to war department
information, Rumania has war sup
plies 10 last four months.
The entire equipment of the Ru-
:nanian army, unless changed recent
ly, is of German manufacture, which
may make the supply problem diff
cult for the allies.
The only known route for furnish
ing munitions is by way OF Russia. Inc
immediate effect of participation by
Rumania, it was said, was to open
Rumanian routes to Russian armies
and make possible a thanking move
ment against the whole Austrian line
in the Carpathians. 1t has been re-
ported that Austria has been busy for
months preparing her defenses along
the Rumanian lines aided by Field
Marshal Won Mackenzen and German
engineers. For that reason some Off
GERS believe the Austrian general staff
has determined 20 hold itself entirely
on the defensive in the war endeavor-
ing to prevent the pouring of Russian
troops down into the plains of Hun
gary by way of Rumania-
The entry of Rumania was hailed
with expressions of satisfaction at the
allied embassies where officials made
Predictions of important developments
in the Balkans within the next six
weeks affecting Bulgarian continuance

A declaration of war by Greece
would not be surprising here. The
great element of caution which is
thought to have restrained Greece in
recent months is said to have been
/ removed and that Greece will want
her share in the Balkan spoils.

L the Investigations Hs to the rgaott'
ca,hiIity Of the scheme now being made
by W. NJ Macdonald, teacher of agri-
culture in the high school. prove fav-
orable.
The present course in agriculture at
the high school is merely a BOOK
course. lasting but one year. II the
farm is obtained it will mean the in
auguration of n thoro, four years
course in agriculture, graduates OF
which by reason of adequate theory
and practical experience on the school
farm, will be competent to undertake
tn management of a real farm.
Topeka would only be following in
the footsteps of a large number or
other first class cities of the west in
securing a school farm" Superintend-
ent Wilson said today. Many other
western high schools have farms and
they are proving a great success. They
not only give the student practical ex-
perience but yield a profit on the IN
vestment. In Boise, Idaho. the work
has been an unqualified success. There
the practical work is continued into
the summer, the farm being run en-
tirely by the students under the direc-
ton of the Instructor"
Federal Aid.
fore congress, granting federal aid
for vocational and agricultural work
in high schools pass, as 1t is expect
ed to do at this session, the extra
courses in agriculture will not entail
a very great additional expense to
Topeka taxpayers. Under the pro-
posed law the government VIII pay
half the cost of instruction and equip
ment in vocational and agricultural
courses.
The plan of a school farro was sug
gested by local real estate men some
four years ago. At that time the real
estate men proposed to secure and
a school farm. But the slump in local
real estate business. which occurred
about that time. caused the plan to
fen thru.
Approved by Mohler.
The plan is enthusiastically ap-
1-oved by Jacob c. Mohler. secretary
of the state department of agriculture
ard secretary of the agricultural com
lrittee OF the Commercial club. The
plan is eminently practicable" Mohler
asserts. The time is coming when
tEc majority of the larger high schools
{ the country, certainly in the west.
will have school farms and complete
agricultural courses"
At present there are about fifty
students taking the purely elementary
agricultural course which is now
taught at the high school.
Il have no doubt that should the
farm be secured that more than
double that number of students would
enroll in the course" A. ]. Stout. prin-
cipal of the high school. said today.
Professor MacDonalds report and
recommendations concerning h e
school farm will be presented to the
school board at an early meeting.
