a pressure SO great on the oil in the

son, nor any shortage for export.
Our home situation is satisfactory. The
feyerish activity observed during the
greater part of the winter has some
what subsidized. Last week bank clear
ings were only about 80 per cent
ahead of last year, while for months
past the ratio of increase has been In
the neighborhood of so per cent This
decrease was largely due to diminished
speculative activity. In the ordinary
channels of commerce and industry
there are as yet no evidences of slow
ing down; although there is a marked
development of caution in making new
ventures, the fear of OVERRIDING hav-
ing evidently restrained initiative.
Railroad earnings at the end of March
were running about 20 per cent ahead
of last year, the increase being due
more to the expansion of traffic than
to higher rates. In the east industrial

the principal eastern states for the
last three months aggregated $751;
900, compared with $175,000,000
at the same time last year and $229,-
100000 in 1914. Fully $500, 900
or more of this years amount was due
to refinancing; but, making full allow
ances, there was probably double the
usual activity in this direction. The
amount of new capital devoted to war
purposes reported since January 1 was
$1Ss, 100000 and since the war began,
twenty months ago, the total reported
is 100000; indicating that while
the war has been a powerful stimulant
it probably represents much less than
a quarter of our present activity. This
is demonstrated by enormous increase
in steel orders, the greater proportion
of which is on domestic account and
is made up very largely of railroad
buying. American railroads are plac-
ing liberal orders for all kinds of
equipment. Since the first of January
they have placed orders for 1.415, 900
tons of steel rails, compared with 3d.
900 tons at the same time last year
and $4,000 tons in 1914. In many
cases orders have been given extending

still further orders would have been
placed had 1t not been for the inability
of mills to execute them and advanc-

THE PEssIMIsr RREAKs LOOSE.

THE PESSIMIST BREAKS LOOSE.
There is land of small delight
Where all we mortals dwell,
Where something posters day and night
And holidays, as well.
Misfortune's ice is spread afar,
Wherein each mortal slips;
And those who dodge the motor car
Appendicitis grips.
While shines the sun man maketh hay,
And sunstroke is his gain.
He saveth for a rainy day;
And 10, it doesn't rain.
The demon corn gnaws at his feet,
Or pain his eye tooth rides,
Or something that he's had to eat
Disturbs his whole insides.
His wife deletes what'e'er he's earned
And buyeth hats galore;
And, every time his back is turned,
They raise his taxes more.
Almost before he gets to bed
new day doth commence,
Full oft he'd wish that he were dead
Except for the expense.
Such is the life we mortals live
paltry, tiresome task,
All joys are given in a sieve,
Cares in a stoppered flask;
If poor, man is thought a Ounce;
If rich, It's called crime.
Good fortune knocks, tits said. but once
Hard luck knocks all the time.

TRADE IN TOPEKA.

Isn't it strange that the railroad
company, the Missouri Pacific, which
has the neatest and niftiest railway
worst passenger service into and out
of the city. All the other railway lines
have passenger trains arriving in the
city in the morning and departing in
the afternoon or evening, thus giving
good opportunity for out-of-town peo-
vantage of the unexcelled retail stores
here. People living in the nearby
towns or within a radius of say 30 to
IS miles, can leave their homes in the
morning, spend the day in Topeka
shopping and return home in the
evening.
Not so in the Missouri Pacific's ter
ritory. There is a rich community at our
very doors southeast of US, part of it
in our own county of Shawnee, where
the people cannot come into this city
by train and do any trading without
staying two nights in addition to the
day required for the transaction of
their business, for the reason that the
passenger trains the Missouri Pacific
runs come into Topeka in the evening
and go out the next morning.
The State Journal hopes the Mis-
souri, Pacific will remedy this over
sight and give our retail merchants a
fair show for that trade which belongs
to Topeka.

A CONVENTION CITY.

| There are some things that Topeka
can do, other advantages which may
come her way. and still other attain
ments to which she may aspire.
Water transportation, a union rail-
way station covering the Kaw river
and both banks thereof. a combined
auditorium and union station with
subways leading into and out of it,
are not among these things.
We even have difficulties in making
this a manufacturing town. There
are now two idle wooden mills here,
one of them replaced by a profitable
poultry packing concern, a creamery
supplies factory has left us and a
steel furniture concern closed it's
doors. We still have the big Santa
Fe shops, the largest creamery in the
world, good packing houses and a
multitude of minor factories, but for
some reason or other factories still
shy us. Notwithstanding Governor
Cappers recent appeal, there is
something lacking to compel factories
to fall over each other to take advan-
tage OF our facilities.
But there are some things to which
we may confidently turn. We have a
most attractive city, its parks and
pavements and charming homes and
parkways and white ways are making
Topeka more beautiful and more de-
sirable.
People from every part of the state
like to come to Topeka They have
a good time when they are here and
they find here the finest retail stores
there are anywhere in the country in
cities of our class; and there are good
wholesale stores, too.
We are growing as a convention
city. Does the reader really know
there Is an average of one big con-
Vention in Topeka a week? We can
aspire, with hopes of success, to be
the most attractive and most desir-
able convention city in the state and
indeed in the west. Our great edu-
cational facilities, the absence of sa-
loons' the high moral standard, the
means for recreation and entertain
ment are all bringing people from
over Kansas and elsewhere to To-
peka to make new homes here. These
people bring the savings of a lifetime
here and invest them.
But TO become a great convention
city we must do two things of para
mount importance: erect our new
hreproof, 5000 seated auditorium as
now planned and build a first class
modern, f1reproof hotel.
With good hotel, a good audi
forum and permanent roads radiat-
ing from Topeka, nothing can sion
ner growth and in ten 1,aa-. -
