every important newspaper In Kan
sas?
One paper in. Marysville is said to
have copie this SANDER on Topeka,
from the paper printed by the director
of the Chamber of Commerce. The
influence was such that the North
American Hotel company is pulling off
/ its solicitors in the neighborhood of
Marysville 1t Doesn't have to submit
to such outrages.
The poison has been set. Possibly
| the poison has been scattered in other
communities.
We have just learned this morning
that now this paper published by the
| director of the Chamber of Commerce
is paid for and distributed by the Y.
NJ C. A, the Chamber of Commerce,
George Stansfield, druggist, by the
Anti-Septic barber shop, 700 Kansas
| avenue, by the Curry billiard parlor.
! by Rosser Bros, druggists, and many
others.
! We only learned this an hour since.
/ We do not see the paper published by
| this director of the Chamber of Com
MERGE, but have received SO many
|
many congratulations upon the expos
ure in these columns of the despicable
action of the Chamber of Commerce,
| that we do not begin to have time to-
acknowledge the letters or the kind
words. Will those concerned please
accept this as an expression and as an
acknowledgment?
We did not know until today that
| the Y. NJ. C. A. and the Chamber of
| Commerce were paying for and dis
tributing this paper published by a
director of the Chamber of Commerce,
named Trap. A..
The Antiseptic Barber Shop en-
ploys man named Decker, who has
brought suit against the editor of this
i'paper, which is set for next Tuesday,
on account of an article published in
the State Journal which, without nam
ing anyone, and at the request of the
Fourth Liberty Loan workers, under
Mr.. Burrow, exposed Stacker, as
i Burrows workers claimed he was.
who was a barber between 9Th and
Sth on Kansas avenue.
We did not learn of this list of pur-
chasers and distributors until today
and might never have known it but
that friend this morning brought
US a clipping, containing this an
nouncement In the last issue, the
friend said dated February %, of the
paper published by the director of the
Chamber of Commerce, in which is
this announcement at the head of the

One paper, printed or conducted BY
Trapp. Brown or Stevic, is the one
t which is the official organ of the la
l Dor unions here. and urges all unior
men to contribute a fund to fight Mr.

Isn't this most damnable outrage!
How long is the Cham per of Com
merce to let this director circulate
these slanderous papers thru the Y NJ
C. A, the Chamber of Commerce
lly-McFarland's and T. v. Camp

There is one feature of the Cham
Der of Commerce and Y. NJ. C. A, rec
t ignition of Trap and his paper tina
/ proves the end to which this man will
go to spread poison among Topeka
: and Kansas business and religious in
i terests of the city and state that HI
may profit by it.
