"Outs" After the Gins"

The whole truth of hard times in
this country has been caused by the
stand pat newspapers crying panic
times, and predicting financial up
heayals, in the effort to discredit the
democratic administration. They kept
it up until even before the break of
the European war the people had be-
come frightened and, of course, closed
up on their money.
However, Wilson was too wise for
the outs who were after the ms and
50 the regional bank bill was put up
through congress, and the government
scattered the money over the country,
giving the dare to Wall Street to do
something, and Wall Street saw that
they were up against something they
couldn't compete with.
Il am democrat from indianapolis,
Indiana, and although ! don't believe
N everything the president has done,

ed more delicate situations than any
other one within the memory of most

War times, and the double prices

the government money scattered over

NOT ONE IS LEFT
No Man Who Was in Topeka
July 4, 1856, Can Be Found.
Norris L. Gage Relates Story of
Col. G.. H. Holiday.

w. c. Markham, editor of the Bald
win Ledger, will never find anyone in
Kansas who was in Topeka July ;,
3 and 4, 1856 and saw Colonel Sum
ner and two regiments of United
States cavalry break up celebration
in old Constitution hall, opposite the
postoffice. Such is the belief of Nor
ris L. Gage, an old resident of the CITY.
Mr.. Markham Is writing a scenario
of a pageant to be given at BALDWIN
July 4, commemorating the siXtieth
anniversary of the battle of Black
Jack, the first pitched battle of the
border war, antedating the firing on
Fort Sumpter by nearly five years.
The third act is built around the con-
stitutional convention held in Topeka
in July, 1856. The Free Staters held
heir convention July and and the
next day they held an open meeting in
the old town hall. Colonel Sumner
and his regulars trained their cannon
from near where the Topeka post
office now stands. He Informed thu
assemblage that he would use all the
force at his disposal to stop the meet
ing held against the wishes OF the ter
ritorial governor.
Il have interviewed several of the
oldest and best Informed citizens of
Topeka" said Mr.. Gage, and l cannot
find one who lived here in July Z,
1856 My brother, the late G. G. Gage,
arrived here in April, 1856, and was
member of one of the two COM
panies of militia which were organized
and drilled to protect the Legislature
Il have often heard him relate the
circumstances connected with the
event, the most notable one being 2
powerful speech made by Col G IL
Holiday, one of our foremost citizens
in the early days, which had the CT
feet of preventing a fight between the
government troops and free state
militia.
My brother described it as being a
wonderfully effective effort and no
Doubt it resulted in great good to the
Free State cause as it prevented a
bloody war between the free state ana
federal troops. A few years ago the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton placed a metallic tablet in the
pavement in front of the old Consti-
tuition hall, four doors below the
northwest corner of Fifth street and
Kansas avenue The tablet com
memorates the exciting happenings at
the hall during those days.

THEY have TO WORK
Life OF Congressman Not the snap
People suppose.

Washington, March Work done
BY Kansas congressman at this session
gives the lie to a popular supposition
that members of congress do not have
much to do down at Washington.
Washington newspaper man who kept
tab on Congressman Anthony of Kan
sas trying to fill three official engage
ments at one time Thursday morning
found the Kansas member to be rea-
sonably busy, to say the least.
With a committee meeting to con-
sfder very important military legisla-
ton called for 10 o'clock, the Kansas
congressman found at that hour
telephone message from the secretary
OF the treasury to discuss matter at
1925 O'Clock in the morning. And
then at 1880 O'Clock was a meeting
of the subcommittee of the committee
on appropriations, considering Sol
diers' home matters in which the Kan
sas member was interested.
With committe meetings continuing
throughout the afternoon, with roll
calls going on in the house at the same
time, and a bushel or two of CORE
spOndence from constituents to which
tits necessary to dictate answers at
intervals-all this would indicate that
some congressman have to hustle to
take cT~0 of the business of a live con-
stituency.

DO You think that Topeka is get

Mr.. Whitehouse plans to hold a
musical series much longer than any
tried so far in Topeka. In addition to
artist recitals it would include the an
nual spring music festival with the
Minneapolis Symphony orchestra.

The price of the series will prob
ably go back to what it was during
the first Parkhurst series-$10 for the
best seats, for the course. Tickets for
the course will be on sale during the
early summer months. Dean White
house only decided on his new course
after the urging of several prominent
Topeka musicians. He has had long
