NO PROFITEERING!

To Fair Visitors:
This is the one week of the year
when Topeka is really and truly host
ess to all Kansas. 1t is Topeka's s
pride to send everyone home-after
the last race and show Saturday-with
a kind word for the town and the big
free fair. The same spirit is in al
most every office and store in the
city
II is hoped that no stores and res
taurants have looked upon the big
free fair as an opportunity to mulct
extra revenues rather than an oppor-
tunity to entertain visitors in true
Topeka style. Every free fair visitor
should know that an honest effort is
being made to block all forms Of fair
week profiteering. Visitors as well as
resident Topekans-who know of any
price hikes at restaurants. hotels.
stores and rooming houses. should call
Clyde NJ. Reed, private secretary to
Governor Allen. at 1851. Such in
formation is being sought by state
organizations in the anti-profiteering
fight.
There has been no fair profiteering
in the mast. Let there be none this
week. The stores will cooperate with
the officials, It Is believed.

serving his strength for the three

spell in Des Moines. Mr.. Wilson was
said to be in excellent trim, but Doc
tor Grayson will insist that he take
things easier wherever possible. It
was principally on account of a slight
cold impairing the presidents voice

against rear platform speeches. Al

broken once or twice during his ad-
dresses and to one audience he re-
marked that the circumstance was due

Gibraltar Tunnel
Scheme Is Revived
As a w ar Aftermath

AS long as the kaiser clung to the
hope Of winning the war German prop
agandists in Spain again and again
raised the "ssue of Gibraltar" in an
attempt to align the Iberian kingdom
with the Central Powers by picturing
the retention of the western key of
the Mediterranean" by Great Britain
as a challenge to the Spanish nation.
The tissue of Gibraltar" is dead,
since the Teutons were forced to sur
render; but from it issued project
that had been regarded dead since
1898, when Berlier proposed to build
a tunnel under the Straits of Gibral-
tar, connecting Europe and Africa by
rail. Two decades ago the project was
ridiculed and characterized as fantas-
tic. Since then engineering has made
rapid progress, and economic develop
ment of the Black Continent proceeded
at a still quicker pace.
The Madrid government. French and
English tinanciers are earnestly dis
cusslng the plan of the Gibraltar tun-
mel, which, after completion, would be
the most important link Of an intra-
continental railroad, connecting Paris
via Madrid and Tangier with ST. Louis,
French Senegal
The plan of building sea coast
railroad traversing Morocco, Rio de
Orc and Maurctania, which originated
In Spain about thirty years ago, is said
to have been discussed at the Alge-
clras conference, and abandoned be-
cause of Germany's protests.
1t Is the consensus of geologians
that Spain and Morocco adjoined each
other until the land, where now the
Straits of Gibraltar are. were carried
away by the nibblins waves From the
bottom of the straits to depth of 1000
meters there is solid rock bottom. af
fordlng good opportunity of driving
"A tunnel from Europe to Africa
1t Is proposed to build the tunnel
about $40 meters below sea level. On
Spanish soil Tarifa is regarded the
best starting point, in Africa two
points between Ceuta and Tangier are
under consideration.
According to the latest figures, the
cost would be $50,000,00 to which
must be added $4,000. 900 for i'm
provcmenta of the Port Of Darkar,
from where a tunnel under the South
Atlantic, connecting the African sea
port with South America, is being dis
cussed, although that idea will hardly
be realized in the near future.
