No Member of Kansas Families
Is Overlooked.
Special Attractions To Appea
to Every Visitor.
EDUCATIONAL EXHIBITS MANY
Phil Eastman Says They Never
Have Been Equaled.
Peoples Pavilion One of Most
Popular Features.

S'From the four corners of Kansas;
from the mouth of the Kaw at Kansas
City to the Colorado line; from all
counties north of us and all counties
south Of us-that is the territory we
expect to cover in counting the visitors
who will be in Topeka during the week
of September to 10 to attend what we
expect to make the biggest and best
fair exhibition ever offered in this part
of the country"
The speaker was Phil Eastman. sec
rotary of the Kansas Free Fair of To-
peka He was busy sending out the
premium list catalogs-so busy that
he hardly had time to falkland in the
short time he gave to visitors his en-
thusiasm, more than his eloquence
tended to convince callers he believes
his expectations will come true.
Last year at our Free Fair we drew
an attendance of 262, 1000" Eastman
continued. I'VE set this record by
making our exhibitions educational.
entertaining and instructive to every
member of every Kansas family, and
this year we expect to make that rec
ord look small and insignificant be-
cause we are going to have a more
complete and bigger exhibition along
all lines and because so many people in
every part of the state already know
the kind of show we put on"
Nothing Overlooked.
There is no doubt that the Topeka
fair officials are making an effort to
appeal to every member of every Kan
sas family. Nothing in the way of in
structive entertainment is being over
looked. And nothing that will please is
being left unlocked" because of ex-
pense or effort.
There are twenty-three departments
under which exhibits are classified.
Thirty thousand dollars in premiums
are being offered, in addition to the
racing purses. Special buildings are
being constructed to take care of ex-
hibitors. And, in every new move that
is being made, the fair officials are
trying to add something that will make
the trip of those who come to Topeka
worthwhile from an educational stand
point.
Especial attention is being devoted
to attractions that will appeal to the
boys and girls and the women visitors.
In 1917 a Boys and Girls club de-
partment was established and prizes
offered for the best exhibits submitted
by members of pig clubs, bee clubs,
bread-making clubs, canning clubs,
garden clubs, garment-making clubs
and poultry clubs In 1918 the ex-
hibits in this department were so large
they could not be taken care of and
this year a special building is being
prepared for the exclusive use of the
Boys and Girls club department.
Farmers wives will be offered an
array of exhibits that a few years ago
would never have been thought of in
connection with fair. Modern home
lighting plants, farm house plumbing
with bath and toilet conveniences,
water plants, power driven sewing and
washing machines and churns and
practically everything in the way of
modern home improvements will be
on display. In addition there will be
a large textile department and in the
peoples pavilion there will be cook

Municipal Market in Topeka
Does Not Pay.
Producers No Longer Bring in
Their Vegetables.
IT WOULD CUT THE H. C. OF |.
Space Furnished All Who Want
1t Near City Hall.
WassOn Has Not Had an Appli-
cation This Year.

Many persons are asking why # is
that the municipal market, which
operated many summer seasons on
Quincy street near the city hall, is not
operating this year.
There is no reason why a market
is not in operation there except that
there seem to be no producers who
consider it of enough value to them
to take their produce there for sale.
If garden truck producers felt that
they could make enough money out
OF the system to make It worth while,
there can beno doubt that a num-
Der of producers would bring in wag-
on loads of produce to the market
district
Mayor Corwine this morning men
toned several cities Of various sizes
in which he knew that municipal mar
kets had been operated with apparent
success. They received patronage
making II amply worth their efforts
in bringing first class produce to the
market.
Under the city ordinance the only
charge made against the market deal
ers was for stall space. The charge
avaried from so cents to 81 depending
on the location of ths space and its
desirability from the standpoint OF
favorable location. In previous sea-
sons the market was held on Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday OF each week
from 5 O'clock in the morning until
noon The regulations provided for
the removal of horses or mules from
the wagons, the streets were to be
kept free of litter. bringing dogs along
with the wagons was prohibited, no
Strengthening of animals was permit
Ted. and the crying or hawking of
sales was not permitted.
The municipal market system has
been tried out in many cities with
great success. 1t has always proved a
source Of supply OF first class garden
truck at prices within the range of all
rockets Buying was not limited to
classes and just as many women Of
he wealthy class came in their motors

Just why the municipal market

is THIS PROTECTION?
Correspondent Asks Why Topeka Ofi-
Gals Don't Control Strike.

Editor of State Journal:
AS a unit of the public I'd appre-
ciate an appeal to our public law en-
forcing officials to display the ex-
istence of a little nerve in handling
this strike situation. The action taken
so far by them in handling the fight
and in handling the rock throwing at
the mills forces blush of shame
from the public, whom they claim to
represent.
we read now that teamsters refuse
toI haul flour for the use of the public
because the pickets throw stones at
them. 1t is just what the public
should expect. History is repeating
itself. The public, denied its flour,
will be the real sufferer.
Who protects US?
Public officials"
Surprising the man arrested Friday
hadn't had influence and votes behind
him.
What action would the police have
taken?
AS members OF that long suffering
public let's demand from our public
officials that for once the barn be
locked before the horse is stolen.
Don't we vote, too?

sorts, material and political, from
Kelly, the man whom he has been,
going around the State, covering with
abuse and vituperation for several
weeks past, and whom he has held
up to the scorn and ridicule of the
whole people as a monster or wick
edness and iniquity, and the chief
issue in the campaign. Kelly may
not BE- all that is desired in many
respects, no city politician ever is,
but he will 60 down in the history
OF the State as an angel Of light
compared with his chief detractor;
while Nice will go down as a self
confessed migrate, and the champion
one of his class in Maryland For
years he was one OF Kelly's init
mates; they were Frank and Harry
to each other; and Frank" was
''Harry's" friend on all occasions.
possessed of large means, Kelly was
Harry's benefactor. His hand was
always open to him, and his benefac-
lions were frequent and generous at
all times, and he never failed his
friend. And now that friend, that
pensiOner, because OF little political
glory, and with the hope Of gaining
more glory and power, goes back on
his friend, holds him up to scorn and
contempt, apparently forgetful OF the
favors received-favOrs which he has
often acknowledged by letter and
word Of mouth, and makes a poor,
pitiful apology, when faced with the
protest of Kelly's friends. It il a
spectacle of human degradation and
lack of manliness, which is covering
the Republican candidate for dov-
ernor with the contempt OF all d.
cent people, and which will lead to
his ignominious defeat at the polls by
the votes of an aroused and Indignant
electorate. And the gentlemen who
have been the nominees of the Re
publican party in past years,-And
they have all been gentlemen-must
writhe in disgust at the pass to which
Mr.. Weller's leadership has brought
their once proud party.

The Herald, Independent says:
What have the taxpayers of Car
roll County got in return for the so
per cent increase IN their tax bills?
Why wan it necessary for our tax
es to be increased II cents when
other counties OF the State were able
to meet changed conditions with an
average increase of only cents?
Will not the newspaper apologists
for the high tax rate tell an anxious
public instead Of peddling the old lie
that Senator Warfield sold out to
the liquor dealers four years ago
and then betrayed them? IL it this
old lie that they propose to deluge
the county with the last week or the
campaign, as they did four years ago,
when they thought it was too late

To the Democratic Advocate.
Gentlemen:-Being a former resi-
dent and voter of Carroll county
am naturally more or less interested
i'm what transpires i'm the vicinity of
where / spent the former years Of
my life. Having visited old Carroll
few days ago I noticed with great
pleasure the prosperous surroundings
and the many improvements both
via Reisterstown to Westminster, to
Manchester, returning by way of
Statewood via North Branch and on
down the former Liberty Pike to
city, meeting many Of my old friends
and neighbOrS on my visit, discussing
the many changes, improvements,
ETC., al well as the minor topics of
eventually drift to the coming cleo
ton / was somewhat disguised,
though at times amused, at some of
my Republican friends, who seemed
to place the blame on President Will
son, or the Democratic party, for
everything that has occurred since
the Kaiser" started on his mad
rampage to conquer the world at the
outbreak of the great war. They
seemed to- be ignorant Of the fact
that Republican congress was able
to pass or enact any law they saw
fit, reject or defeat any measure the
Democrats introduced and are solely
responsible for the enactments or re
lection of same that the Republic
can votes are wailing about.
The many little restrictions and
obnoxious little laws relating to your
everyday life such as farmer not
being allowed to carry a gun in his
own woods under penalty of fine,
Game laws. enacted by Republi-
cans, the many little nuisances per-
tanning to the automobile laws< and
hundreds Of other foul little don'ts,
you must or must not dos, are en-
of Republicans whom no
doubt many of the voters of Carroll
voted for.
am not acquainted with the en-
tire personnel OF your Democratic
ticket but noted with great pleasure /
that my old friend and neighbor,
John T.. Freyman, was candidate for
Sheriff, and was gratified to learn
that he was held i'm high esteem by 4
not only Democrats with whom / !
but by Republicans a.

MIR. RITCHIE WORTHY TO BE
GOVERNOR.

A recent editorial i'm the Balti-
more News, Republican, says that
paper is mot supporting the Repub-
| lican party because Of the Republic
can State platform" nor is it SUP
| porting the Republican ticket on ac-
count of MIR. Nice" The News
leaves no uncertainty about the fact
that it regards MIR. Richie as the
ablest and most worthy of the two
candidates for Governor: y
1T isn't so easy thing as one
may think for a newspaper to break
away from it's traditions. One Of

pal the man and not the party is
paramount. LIN other words, in the
election of various city and State
officials i'm the past we have en-
deavorel within our lights to pick
always the best man irrespective OF
party affiliatiOn. If we were to be
guided by this tradition in the pres
emit campaign, it is wholly possible
that we would be found advocating
the cause of Mr.. Richie.
TT is a splendid thing to have
young men like MIR. Ritchie come to
the front in politics. He is OF
type all too rare i'm political affairs,
bringing to public service not only
youth and strength and energy, but
a very high ideal of what is expected
by the people OF it's leaders, and
very comprehensive idea of what is
needed in the way OF constructive
legislation. 1t will always be a
source Of regret to us that we are
not able to support Mr.. Richie in
this campaign"
At the beginning of the campaign
The News took the ground that the
sole question at issue before the vo-
tiers Of Maryland this year is, the
Endorsement or the rejection OF
Woodrow Wilson's leadership in thu
nation However Independent 1t may
be in local affairs, it is uncompro-
misingly Republican on national
issues, and it is opposing the Demo
cratic State ticket this year because
it thinks Democratic majority i'm
Maryland this fall would be regarded
as an Endorsement of the national
administration.
As the News is quite often on the
wrong side, its present attitude need
not discomfort Democrats.
Maryland will again demonstrate
Its Wilson sentiment.
And candidate like Richie can
not fail OF election.
