REAL MUSICAL. TREAT


Topeka is promised a real musical
treat Tuesday evening when MarshalPs
band, Jackson's band, the Liberty Trio
and the Santa Fe Glee club join in a
benefit performance at the city audi
torium at O'Clock. The performance
is for the purpose of purchasing uni
forms for Jackson's band. The bands
men believe that with good attend
ance Tuesday night the receipts will
swell the funds they now have on hand
to a point adequate for their needs.
MarshalPs band will have the first
part of the program, and will be fol-
lowed by the Liberty Trio. Hardin
Bryant will give a trombone solo pre-
vious to the main series of the evening
by Jackson's band. The Santa Fe Glee
club, which is soon to go on a five
months tour of the Santa Fee system,
will close the program.
The support which has been accord
ed the Santa Fe singers alone is in
dicative of the attendance which is ex-
pected at the concert Tuesday evening.
The advance sale of tickets has al
ready become encouraging. Members
of the band have sold nearly 500
worth of tickets already

AN ART EXHIBIT
Washburn to Show Work of
John f. Carlson.
Collection of Thirty-Two Paint
ings for Two Weeks.

Beginning Tuesday evening at Bos-
well Hall, Washburn College. and con-
tinuing for two weeks, will be held an
exhibition of landscape paintings in
oil, the work of John f. Carlson, prin-
cipal of the famous Woodstock school
of paintings at woodstock New York.
The collection which is now being
hung. consists of thirty-six pictures.
1t is 'unquestionably the most interest
ing and beautiful exhibition of paint
ings, ever brought to Topeka. In APP
probation and portrayal of the ro-
nance, poetry. nobility and beauty OF
nature, Carlson approaches the sub
lime, and despite the fact that the ex-
hfbit is all the work of one man, the
beholder will not feel the slightest
sense of monotony.
The technique is finished and ele-
CANT, and the effects of sunlight. shav
dow, and atmosphere are marvelousi
nature is depicted in its every mood.
Mrs. Fern !. Coppedge, late of To-
peka. who is steadily making for her
self a name in eastern art circles, was
a pupil Of the Woodstock school
The Carlson collection is brought to
Topeka jointly by the Topeka Art
guild and the art department of Wash
burn college. Carlson established
branch school at Colorado Springs this
summer, and while there was seen by
Miss Marie Witwer of the Topeka Art
guild, and it was largely thru her ef-
for.s that the collection was brought
here.
Along with the Carlson paintings
will be exhibited part of the noted
Thayer collection of art objects, which
the state of Kansas is about to lose
thru the apathy of it's legislature. This
collection was gathered during the lie
time of the late w. B. Thayer of the
Irn goods
firm of Emery. Bird and IThayer, and
was donated to the state of Kansas
with the provision that the latter furn-
ish a suitable housing place for 1t in
the state university.
The entire collection is said to be
worn 100000. and includes examples
of practically every art and craft, from
the time of the ancient Egyptians to
the present day. About $4,000 worth
of oriental rugs. rare shawls, japanese
lacquer work. etc. have been brought
10 Topeka for the present occasion.

Friend Harve has said all the really
clever things that can be said about the
Million Dollar Doh in Paris" which made
its appearance here saturday. Fact is,
Harye's clever stuff was about the clever
est things about the show. 1t was ad-
vertised as a musical comedy, but it turn
ed out to be more comedy than musical.
Accommodations seemed to have been pro-
vided originally for the chorus of twelve,
but three were absent without leave and
the nine who remained on duty struggled.
The sh6w carried a fair quartet, but
outside that there was little tuneful stuff
in the bunch. As O whole the piece might
have been 'Pinnfore" rewritten in more
modern settings and to the very last min
ute everyone present wondered why who
ever was to blame, had picked such a
name for what showed here. There were
few voices III the c0sapany. in fact almost
none, but Nate Brsky, the blackface, was
real comedian ~ scored one of those
honest to gosh hits with his pantomime.

were old ones dragged in when ever the aG-

Congress by all means should do that and
do so for the sake of humanity, but it occurs
to us that the whole ''Dam family" Of us is
going long ways from home to help abused
humanity when there is so much Of it within
our very gates. Not quite so many colored
persons in the United States are murdered
by the "superior race" as are Armenians,
but what they lack in numbers is made up
in brutal barbarity If history has ever
recorded greater cruelties inflicted on a
weaker class domiciled among stronger,
than those that have been inflicted upon the
colored citizens from time to time by the
southern white man Of this country, we have
never read it, and these cruelties, mind
you, have not been condemned by the white
pulpit or the metropolitan press Of this
country, though the nausiating details have
been widely published from time to time. It's
the DID, old story, straining at gnat

government overlOoks it's barbarities to
censure Turkey. The unspeakable'
Turk may be mighty monster, but
he is nothing in comparison to the Chris

LEGISLATURE S EXTRA SESSION

In order to save the University of Wash
ington from apparent bankruptcy Governor
Hart has called special session of the legis-
lature to provide it with necessary funds
to prevent either an alarming deficit or the
actual closing down of the school Under
the direction Of President Oozaoola this in
stitution has been Systematically worked up
to rich man s proposition and the poor
man s child no longer has look in out
there where the states money is lavished
on luXures to such an extent that the
whole thing has become a gauling tax on
the people and, APPARENTLY, without just com
pensation. The appropriations for the Uni
versity in the recent past seem to have been
nothing short Of a Wreckess expenditure of
public money and that too for no greater
reason than to satisfy the mouthngs Of the
president thereof, who seems to have adopt
ed this rather peculiar form to convince the
public of his mental superiority over those
he comes in contact with During the ses
sons of the legislature DR.. Oozaoola is
either himself present or some trusted heu-
tenant is to lobby for as big an apropria-
ton as can be Wrung from the body, which
appropriation is seemingly spent as wreck
lessly as it is given
With but one year having passed since
almost fabulous Appropriation made at that
time for the State University has been eX-
hausted and deficit is facing the institu-
ton Is it not almost time to call a halt?
The coming extra session OF the Legislature
should make haste slowly in what it ap
propriates for this mi ioionaire's s institution,
lest the people REBEL and at the coming
state election rebuke the party and parti-
sans responsible for such public eXtrava-
gance
We suggest to Gov Hart that he insist on
the strictest economy being practiced and
the pubic's money be handled in a like
manner as would the individuals money be
handled
While in session the legislature will be
called upon to either reject or adopt the
woman suffrage amendment to the constitu-
ton of the United States Of America, which
it will doubtles do on record time Whether
other important legislation will be taken up
remains to be seen. It however, is highly
probable that many grand.stand plays will
be staged for election purposes before the

MANY WANT WORK.

JUNEAU, March 18.-In a state ment made recently to represents tive of the Alaska Daily Empire, William Gerig, assistant chief engi- neer of the Alaska Engineering commission, declared that the com had received 10000 appli- cations for work on the railroad project. sThe supply is far more than the demand will be, he said.
 Continuing, Mir. Gerig said the commission expected to use between 5000 and 4,OOO men on the An chorage end of the road, and be- tween 4,OOO and 5000, including the Nenana end. The work will be- gin about April first.
 MT. Gerig stated further that the commission is giving first notice to it's old employees and Alaskans, and, from the applications from the Outside, preference is given to re-
