book of heart throbs" and has se- cured permission to have it printed at the government printing office as a means of enlightening the public con- under the great government which claims humanity and the protection of human rights as the cardinal princi- ples of administration. Extracts from this little book have been printed in the public journals and their perusal cannot but arouse a sense of shame in even the most callous citizen that the greatest and richest nation under the sun allows some of it's employees d wage that scarcely suffices to keep body and soul together. especially in these days of highly inflated values.
 Most of the employees of the govern ment are fairly well paid but hun dreds on hundreds are compelled to exist on a wage that can be compared only to those paid the unfortunate for eign born wage slaves who were not so long ago shot down by dozens at Youngstown and Pittsburg because they could not endure their suffering and privation longer.
 Only few years ago our high mind ed legislators raised their own wages from five thousand 10 seven thousand five hundred dollars per year because they found it difficult to make ends meet so it is hardly conceivable that they can refuse to grant a living wage to the uninfluential and neglected toil- CTS who labor in obscurity at the gov ernment wheel. If the true facts were known we believe that public senti- ment would demand that as long as the government can stand eighteen million dollar battleships and pork ap- propriations approximating hundreds of millions. it can pay all of it's em- ployes decent wage. Every citizen should write to Mr. Nolan for a copy of his little book and, after reading the pitiful tale of human privation and misery contained within it's pages, lend their assistance to it's compiler by in sisting on the passage of his minimum wage bill.

MORGAN A MINING INVESTOR.

While not generally regarded as in terested in mining the apprasement o1 ne estate of the late J. r. Morgan, recently published, disclosed the fact that he held at the time of his death mining securities valued at more than S1 ,000, ,000. These included $26S, ,000 of Cerro de Pasco Mining Co, per cent. dehentures, valued at $i92,96o: 5,5O0 shares. Cerro de Paseo Investment Co, S550,00o; 27,7S4 shares, Champion

Transvaal Gold Mining Estates, Ltd, $15,759; Mir. Morgan owned worthless stocks of a par value of more than S7000000; among these were shares in three mining compan-
 les, probably acquired through trade as most or them were not of type that would have appealed to him for investment, they included 1000 shares of ordinary and 2.S57 of preferred shares of the Nine Reefs Gold Min ing Co. 9000o shares of Cadelaria Min ing Co. and 100000 shares of the Bus sick Gold Mining Co. The total estate was appraised al $7S.149,024 of which S1S.933.951 was in stocks and bonds a nearly equal amount in art collections in the Metropolitan Museum of Art
 and about $5oo0.O0O was represented in his library which was his crown ing achievement as collector, II is interesting to note that his mining securities represented about 5.75 per cent of his stock-and bond invest ments, an amount much larger than would have been generally supposed.

HUGHES RAISED WHISPERS
 TO ESCAPE SCHOOL RlDICULE

Charles Evans Hughes, the repubi- can presidential nominee, was born in Glens Falls, N. r., April II, 1862. and IS thus four years younger than former President Roosevelt and six years younger than President Wilson. says recent Washington dispatch. His father was a Baptist preacher and his mother was a devout woman who shaped his early education with the idea of preparing him for the minis try. The family moyed to Newark. N. l., when he was a boy, and during his young manhood settled in New York city.
 Brilliant always as a student, young Hughes was graduated from New York high school at the head of his class at the age of 15-so young that his father would not permit him to enter college for a year. He was graduated from Brown university in 1881, one of the five Phi Beta Kappe. honor men of his year. Finally he att tended Columbia university law school holding the prize fellowship from 1884 to 1S87
 At the beginning of his career Hughes was an instructor in Greek mathematics at an academy in Delhi, N. Y. A chiding remark from the principal of that academy to the effect that young Hughes would have trou-

NOME, ALASKA, SEPT 5, 1916.

Although the democratic party has been comnendaby prolific of legisla- tion beneficial to the working classes il might well go d step farther before laying aside its arduous tolls by adopt ing the minimum wage bill for gov nrment employees which provides for a minimum wage of three dollars per days for all employees of the federal gov, rumcnt.
 Although this measure was intro- duced in the house of representatives by Congressman Nolan, of California, something over five months ago, con- gress has apparently been too intent on preparedness and pork slicing to devote it's attention 10 legislation of thls character.
 Public sentiment IS undoubtedly in favor ot the government paying dc cent wages to all of it's employees but knowledge tnat, while paying prineely 7s'H'll'A III 9piItt appointments, lnt gov cfnment is inclined 10 shave and pare in others To the degree that hundreds of workers in its employ receive d wage that scarcely suffices for the support of themselves and families.
 According 10 Congressman Nolan, the government pays, in some branches of its service, the smallest wages paid in the United States. Congress nat ufally does not pay much attention to this fact, nor has the bill introduced by the California representative made much of an appeal. Most of the toil- CTS who draw the pitiful pittance are persons of no influence and there are doubtless few, aside from Mr Nolan. who really know their situation. In addition, they represent only d small part of the four hundred thousand employees of the government. so leg lslation in their behalf is hardly prof. itable as far as securing votes is con- cerned. If 1t was, one may be sure that their needs would have been at tended to long ago The best con- gross has been able To do for the No Ian bill so r,r was to grant a few committee hearings which disclosed that there was more than little truth in the contention of the Californ- ia statesman that while Uncle sam MS frittering away millions on useless public buildings and equally useless water ways he is keeping many of his servants on the ragged edge of starva- ton through paying them a wage that tlust be designated as dIsgracefully in- adequate
 Some of the stories told by wit hesses called to testify at the commit tee hearings held last May would arouse the pity of savage by their pathos. Tales of hardship and priva- ton suffered by some of those whose names adorn the government payroll were so often reiterated at the hear ings that some of the lofty minded legislators doubtless became quite tired of listening to them. Some of these pathetic tales have been col lected by Mr. Nolan into a small vol ume which he has significantly titled

HARD ON old PEOPLE
In March 27 Deaths OF Persons Past
10 Were Recorded.

The month of March proved to be
a hard one for people of advanced
age. as the death reports, recorded in
the office of the city clerk, testify. A
total of ST deaths was recorded dur
ing the past month from Topeka,
Menoken, Soldier, Mission and Tecum-
sch townships. This does not include
the deaths which occurred in the city
of Oakland. The remarkable part of
the report shows that 81 people whose
combined ages were 1000 years passed
away during March. Five attained
the age of 10 years, 9 had reached the
IS mark. 10 had passed their eightieth
milestone, one was reported at So and
two at 80 years.
Pneumonia claimed ten, apoplexy
six and la grippe only two. According
to the records the report shows that
more aged people passed away during
the past month than in any previous
single month for years.

FILE A PROTEST Time TO REGISTER
East Siders Object to Sending
Children to Lincoln.
Both the Distance and the
Danger Too Great.

The second installment of the pro-
! test of East Side parents against the
changing of the grades from the State
Street, Lafayette and Branner schools
to Lincoln school took place last night
when a petition, with 450 signers, was
presented to the board. The board
was petitioned to remember the 20 or
80 blocks which some of the children
would be obliged to walk through the
Santa Fe yards or incur the expense of
car fare. The petition reminded the
board that in the showing Topeka"
tours for visitors the dilap1dated frame
structure of the Parkdale school was
never pointed out as "One of our model
school buildings"
Another petition with over 800
names was presented asking for the
location of a Junior high school on the
east side.
Nearly $4,000 will be spent on sum-
mer repairs for the Central Park.
Harrison, Quincy, Branner and the
high school Repairs on the wireless
apparatus of the manual training
building will be made. Half the cost
of fence Cor the protection of prop
erty owners north of Clay school will
be borne by the board.
w. p. Mclean, director of physical
education in Topeka schools, will be
given 5000 for his uncompensated play
ground work last summer.
There will be no halt in the play
ground work this summer through the
mistake in fixing a special tax levy
for that purpose. superintendent Will
son was empowered to make arrange
ments for such Fairgrounds as he
deemed necessary. The warrants will
simply be marked mot paid for want
of funds and next year Topeka tax
payers will pay a 2-1G mill levy to
take care of this summers expenses.
The physical education exhibit May
5, was approved by the board. The
night schools will close shortly accord
ing to another decision.
The recommendation of L. M Jones,
head of the teachers committee, that
a maximum of five days sickness with
compensation be allowed the school
teacher was also approved by the
board. The present rule allowing the
teacher the difference between her
wages and those of the substitute up
TO twenty days is still in force.
Miss Blanche Dodge was appointed
4 teacher for the coming year for the
ungraded class.

IT IS GARDEN Time
City Men Are Attacked by the
Annual Fever.
These Are Busy Days for the
Dealers in Seeds.

The spring garden fever has struck
father. Mother and the boys are keep
ing their mouths shut but in the deep
recesses of their minds they know an
intermittent fever has touched father
and in the end if weeds do not hold
sway in the little garden patch in the
rear it will not be on account of the
efforts of father, but through their
own industry.
peka business and professional men
have as startling symptoms as ever
in history, according to D. o. Coe, 119
East Sixth street, the well known feed,
grain and seed man. Already gener-
Gus supplies of radish, lettuce, spin
ach and pea seeds and onion sets have
been sold and planted. Now a second
installment of purchases has been
made of the same seeds as we'll as
the purchase of beans, sweet corn and
beets for planting at this time. Later
the vine plants will begin to require
consideration.
Ground Is Good.
1.-THE ground is reported to be in
excellent condition for gardening"
said Mr.. Coe today. And this is the
best month of the year for gardening.
So far, Topeka truck gardeners appear
to be buying as many seeds as in past
years.
AS for field grasses, farmers, Mr.
Coe reports are buying generously of
these although clovers, excepting
sweet clover. are high. The clover
family includes red. white and sweet
clover, aloyke and alfalfa.
Sweet clover is rather new" said
Mr.. Coe. Three or four years ago it
sprang from a noxious weed to a seed
that sold at 80 cents pound. But this
year it has fallen in price to 20 cents
pound"
The market is reported normal for
lighter grasses. Sudan grass is selling
generously. This is an annual forage
plant of the sorghum family, intro
duced to Kansas by Texas. While the
farmers are buying generously of this
seed they are not planting it extern
sively, rather experimenting with it.

1T IS NEARLY EXTINCT
The Sunflower Is Rarely Seen in Kan.
SaS Now.

In reply to many inquiries which
recently have come to the Kansas
state board of agriculture, concern
ing sunflower seeds, Secretary ]. C..
Mohler has issued the following state
ment:
kansas is not the sunflower state
she used to be when she gained the
name 'Sunflower State You see very
few native sunflowers in Kansas now
because sunflowers do not flourish
under cultivation and our farmers
keep the roadways and their fields
in good shape. 1 don't know why
people write to us about sunflower
seeds unless it is because our state has
that name, but we do not have many
of the plants any more"
Most of the inquiries about seeds
have come from the south, Mr. MohIer
said. The sunflower, whose botanical
name is Helianthus Annus is an an
nual plant, native of North America,
and is now cultivated as an agricul-
tural seed crop chiefly in Indiana.

FOR IT
Union Officials Favor a New
Auditorium.
More Room and a Bigger Stage
Are Needed.

Union musicians in Topeka are for
new auditorium. This fact was es-
tablished at their last meeting held in
their hall when they referred the mat
ter to delegation with instructions to
confer and meet with the Industrial
Council in their elaboration of the
subject.
When questioned regarding the mat
c. c. Rogan, employed in rhe state
auditors office, said: There is no
opposition among the union musicians
towards the movement for a new audi
torlum; they all want it, but while we
are about building a new hall we
would like to have the stage made
large enough so that big band concerts
may be given under roof and we would
like to have this idea carried out. To-
peka needs a new hall and / for one
am for it and want to see it built and
1 am sure that a big majority of our
union musicians feel as L do about it.
We hope that our idea of stage large
enough to accommodate large band,
or number of people. will be carried
out for it is to the benefit of all the
citizens that this be done as well as
the musicians The concerts could
then be held in all kinds of weather.
Count me as a booster for the new
auditorium"
Otto Rahn's Views.
Otto L. Rain, 222 Chandler, vice
president of the Union, when asked
for his views, said: Together with a
large number of union musicians, 1 am
heartily in favor of a new auditorium.
1 believe that most of the members
think as 1 do, that we ought not to
spend a large amount to fix up our
old hall. 1t is not large enough to
stage big attractions which would
come here. We ought to have a new
structure out and out. Take the ma
terial from the old building and use
what can be used but give us a new
auditorium by all means. With
larger stage facilities. with drop cur
tain and all that goes with it, we
could have big first class attractions at
lower prices. This would enable the
working man not only to go but to
take his family with him for with a
larger seating capacity the price of adj
mission could be lowered. Give us a
stage in the new auditorium large
enough to stage large productions then
VIC can have big band concerts, as
we'll"
The Topeka Musical association has
appointed a delegation to confer with
the Industrial Council with reference
to the new auditorium.

MAKING A RECORD
Russian Immigrant Wins Long List of
Els in High School.

Only three years in this country and
now one of the brightest students in
the Topeka high school is the record
of Morris Kotlarsky of this city.
1t was two years ago last October
that Morris came to this country from
Kiev, Russia
His father got employment in the
Santa Fe shops and Norris was put
in school He had attended school in
Russia but did not know word of
English. He was placed in the
seventh grade of Lincoln school and
toiled night and day to master the
language of his new country. He
showed such proficiency in his
