IF BILLY" ONLY KNEW
Three Topeka Ministers Think He Is
Needed in This City.

BILLY" Sundays remark to the To-
peka preachers that, Topeka is
model town, 1 can do no good there"
stirred up a tempest of discussion in
Topeka pulpits Sunday. According to
the evangelist booze is the only sub
ject suitable for a one days revival
and King Booze was dethroned many
years since in Topeka.
Billy might have changed his mind
had he heard the three Topeka min
listers who preached on the subject:
Does Topeka Need Billy Sunday 2"
According to Rev. j. H. Crockett, of
the Third Christian church, Sunday
would come here on the double quick
if he knew that Topeka courts are
turning out three and four divorces a
day. And there are many other dra-
CONS worthy of Billys steel right here
in Topeka, although we have the
liquor dragon out of the way
"Just visit the city prison and see
it's inmates if you don't think Topeka
needs Billy Sunday" declared the
Rev Robert Gordon, of the First Bap-
tist church. There you may hear
men testifying to gambling all night
with mere boys. And the pool hall
ordinances are violated every day in
the face of parents complaining of
their boys being ruined by these
agencies"
Rev. E. w. Spencer of the Walnut
Grove church, also affirmed the need
of Billy Sunday in Topeka.

I'M NORTH TOPEKA
Reduce Weekend
Travel on Railroads.
A Decrease of From so to so
Per Cent Noted.

Railroad officials note a decrease of
between SO and so per cent in the sale
of tickets, on Saturdays and Sundays,
to people who formerly spent these
days at the "o1d home" or on a
friends farm"
The only reason they give for the
large decrease, is that the increase in
automobiles, and the possible passen-
ger carriage of each car, supply the
demand of those who were accustomed
to make the week end trips.
The same losses are noted by the
Hveryman who kept the farmers
horses at their barns for feeding on
Saturdays.
