GREATEST DEED
Wanamaker Tells of His Most
Glorious Achievement.
1t Was Discovering Real Value
of Newspaper Advertising.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 26.-If
John Wanamaker ever has a monu-
ment for discovering anything, it will
be for finding out that the only ad-
vertising of direct and instant bene-
fit to both merchant and customer is
in the daily newspaper of known cir
culation; all others are vanity and
veXation of spirit
SO Mr.. Wanamakcr says in an open
letter to the convention of the Asso-
ciated Advertising Clubs of the World
which began u weeks session here to-
day.
Mr. Wanamaker urges the conven-
ton to put the branding iron of its
disapproval on the practice of mer-
chants who continually say they will
sell merchandise for less than it is
worth in the market; to warn pub
fishers against printing unbelievable
statements without Notifications: to
urge the enforcement of the laws en-
acted to protect the people from dis
honest advertisers and to silence So
called advertising experts and coun-
sellors." who invent schemes to fool
unthinking people.
Herbert S. Houston, president of the
association, said the convention was
assembling to serve honest, clean and
efficient advertising.

OUT OF THE RACE
Two Candidates for the State
Senate Withdraw.
Friends Tried to Make Them
Stay in the Fight.

The same constitutional right that
permits man to run for office enables
him to withdraw from the race after
he gets into it. That was the decision
of the state canvassing board today
in passing on the withdrawal of two
candidates for the state senate
Charles L. Shumway of Little River.
Republican. filed as candidat for
the state senate from the Thirty fifth
district John HitZ of Hudson. a Dem
the same district Other candidates
had also entered the race Shumway
and Hitz decided to withdraw and
notified the secretary of state after
their papers had been registered.
When the state board met today
there was a protest from several taft
ford county citizens. They wanted the
men to stay in the fight. But the
canvassing board couldn't see it They
held that a candidate can leave a DO
litical race at any time he desires and
no one can force him to run. So tie
names were withdrawn.
Kansas Prohibitionists were made
happy when the state board accepted
their petitions for presidential cleo
tors First count of the petitions
showed an insufficient number of pc
titioners to warrant a place on the
state primary ballot. But today the
canvassing board voted to permit the
electoral candidates a place on the
Prohibition candidate for congress in
the Third district, was also permitted
to run after previous rejection of his
petitions. Chapman checked N with
bare minimum number of signers.
Fred shaft, Cherryvale Democrat,
wanted to run for the senate from
the Twenty-sixth district His petit
tions had been rejected Showing be-
fore the state board today won him
a place on the primary ballot.

signatures and Hoffman was denied

w. c. Osborne of Burton. was a
Socialist candidate for judge in the
Ninth district. His petitions did not
meet legal requirements and he was
ruled out of the running.
Petitions of W. P. Bartry of Airing

too late. They also failed to show the
required number of signatures.

BACK TO OLD HOME
runaway Youth Is Sent Transporter
Ioh Dy His Foster Parents.

From tears to smiles was the change
hoteo on the face of 1S-year-old Arth-
ur Broughton at the Provident asso-
elatlon, when he received a letter con-
tanning transportation back to Parker.
Kan, and the words I'VE will send Won
on to high school next fall"
Broughton landed in Topeka last
Friday and was brought to the Provi-
dent association by the depot master
at the Rock Island station He lett
his home at Parker, Kan, where he
had been adopted by a chiIdless cou-
pie, because they told him it wasn't
any use to go to high school and get
"a lot of foolish ideas in your head -
So Broughton left in the pursuit of
higher education.
Broughton is a "slum child for
whom a New York Aid society found
home in Kansas some years ago.
Farm life was a happy experience to
him until he was told that his school
ing would stop when he received his
grade diploma last spring. Then he
ran away. His absence caused a
change of heart in the old couple at
Parker and they wrote him that he
could go on to high school.

of Battery A want a mascot. Today
Lieut. James Hughes asked the State
Journal through its representative in
camp to ask Topeka to present the
battery with mascot.
The men in the company prefer a
fighting bull terrier with emphasis on
the fighting. No ladylike dogs need
apply. That was the principal trouble
with one a private found along the
railroad track. The men of Battery A
want a mascot. let it be understood,
that will not endanger their reputa-
ton.
I'VE want the people of Topeka to
presnt us with the terrier and name
it." Lieutenant Hughes said today.

new JITNEY LAW
Publication of the Ordinance
Is Made Today.
Jitney Drivers Promise to In
woke the Referendum.

The revise jitney ordinance, passed
May %, was today ordered published.
The order which makes the ordinance
effective passed by the majority of
Mayor Jay E. House and Commission
ers Tandy and Porter voting for it;
Commissioners Newland and WATSON,
who voted against the ordinance when
it passed, stood by their original vote.
The order by which the revised jit-
ney ordinance becomes operative was
passed following a series of maneuvers
by Harry Green, attorney for the jit-
ney drivers to get into the record
some mention of a substitute ordi-
nance. Green's efforts were unaVailing.
Shortly after the meeting opened
Mayor House, noting the presence of
Mr.. Green, inquired if he had a COM
munication to make. Mr.. Green then
made the first step preparatory to
checking the jitney problem directly
TO the voters by offering a substitute
ordinance that would give jitneurs
the right to operate on all streets in
the city on payment of the present
license fee.
His first move was effectively
blocked by Mayor House, who held
that no ordinance can be introduced
before the commission unless a majo
ity of the commission has first in
structed the city attorney to draft it.
This rule is a matter of record, the
mayor declared. A silence that threat
ened to become painful followed the
mayors first offensive blow. 1t was
relieved by Commissioner Porter, who
suggested that the regular order of
business oe resumed. Attorney Green
meanwhile withdrew to prepare a new
offensive drive.
After a few moments, Green return
ed. Following a short conference be-
tween the attorney and Commissioner
Newland, Newland moved that the
city attorney be instructed to draft the
ordinance suggested by Green Was
son seconded his motion
on vote, Commissioners WATSON and
Newland voted age. Commissioners
Tandy and Porter voted no. The
mayor also voted no and Green's sec
ond effort to get his ordinance before
the commission was defeated.
Green then withdrew to formulate a
new attack He returned in a few
minutes and addressing the commits
sioners sought to have his ordinance
in the form of communication placed
on the record. His communication
called on the commissioners to instruct
the city attorney to draft the measure
proposed by him.
On suggestion of Commissioner
Tandy that an ordinance could not
properly be attached to the commune
| cation, the commission declined to
grant Green's last request The order
to publish the commissions revised
! Jltney ordinance then was passed. The
/ ordinance appears on page G.
Refusal of the commission to con-
slider the substitute ordinance does not
affect the plan of the jitneurs to seek
referendum vote. Mr.. Green pointed
out this morning. Petitions for an
election to recall the ordinance which
/ becomes effective today probably will
be circulated at once, he declared
