TELLS OF Topeka HOTEL
Robert Stone Issues Statement Re-
earding C. of C. Plan.

Sarulng y. OF -. EAan-
The following statement in regard to
the building of hotel in Topeka was
issued today by Robert Stone:
MY attention has just been called TO
prospectus issued by The Renker Hotel
company in which am named as trustee
for the purpose Of holding money sub
scrfbed for stock. This prospectus was
prepared shortly after the Renker Hotel
company was granted a permit by court
decision to sell stock in the state. be-
lieve now as 1 have always believed that
the corner of Tenth and Kansas avenue is
the best site for hotel and that the plan
Of the Renker company is a feasible plan
and with the cooperation of the people of
Topeka could be made successful
But that company has lain dormant for
some time and do not now favor an ac-
tive campaign in its interest because OF the
psychological effect which such a cam
paign might have upon the efforts Of the
Chamber of Commerce to build a hotel
In Topeka I believe it would be much
wiser for the Renker Hotel company to
join the Chamber of Commerce in its ef-
fort to assure the building of q hotel and
to take its chances on convincing the d.
rectors of such hotel company to select
kthe Renker site. Unless the Renker Hotel
company is willing to cooperate In some
such way with the Chamber Of Commerce.
l shall ask to be relieved from acting as
trustee under Its plan / regard the build
Ing of a hotel more important than the in
terest of any particular company. or the
selection of any particular site

DISPLAY MANY HOLLYHOCKS
Thirty Exhibit Flowers at Chamber %

Thirty Exhibit Flowers at Chamber OF
Commerce.
Thirty exhibitors had displays OF
hollyhocks at the Chamber of Com
merce at the lunch hour today.
There are 1000 blocks OF alleys in
Topeka which have been beautified
with the flowers, and Topeka has
built up a nationwide reputation
for this form of beautification,S c. d.
Skinner said today.
For years it has been the custom TO
send packages of hollyhock seed free
to all parts of the country, to people
who have heard of the hollyhocks of
| Topeka.
In the past year, Skinner said, he
has sent out no less than 500. packages
of the seed, from Nova Scotia to Cali
fornia.
Skinner believes that it would be
good publicity for the city if the
growers of hol1yhock seed would turn
it over to some central agency which
might distribute the seed to whoever
might ask for it.
The display at the rooms of the
Chamber of Commerce today was ex-
temporaueous, and was in charge o.;

plain of Great Influx.
/. w. w. Gangs Are Working
Without Their Cards Now.

In spite of all reports to the con-
trary, there is a man in the Kansas
harvest fields for almost every shock
of wheat, railroad special agents work
ing out of Topeka declared today.
Tired and footsore from chasing
'hoboes," the agents were emphatic
and profane in voicing their opinions
of the state free employment bureau.
Seeing from 500 to 1000 men passing
thru Topeka daily and hundreds more
cumming their way back because
they could not get work, the agents
were rendered speechless by newspaper
reports from free employment bureau
offices that 1900 more men are need
ed at once, and that wages are run
ming as high as $3.50 a day.
Yesterday noon 1 was in Salina, "
said one special agent, land if there
was one there were 500 men lying
around there idle. And still the en-
pIoyment bureaus are hollering for
more men. There are two men for
every job out there right now. Just
about two men out of five who come
to the harvest fields will get work.
There are more genuine hoboes COM
ing to Kansas right now than 1 have
seen in six years"
Reals Hands Pay Fare.
The bona fide harvest hands-the
majority of them-according to the
agents. pay their fare and ride in pas
senger trains. They know just what
farmer they are going to work for.
and the farmer pays their railroad
fare.
There are many men who come to
harvest the harvesters," continued the
agent. Some poor fellow back east
reads in the papers that Kansas
farmers can't get enough men and are
paying $3.50 a day. Maybe this guy
is laid off; perhaps he lays off pur-
posely to come out and get a job. En-

Americas Southwest Should Keep It's
Natural and Historical Relics.
BY PROFESSOR A. j. Flynn, Colorado Archaeologist.

The American Southwest offers unlimited opportunities for archeo-
logical and geological Investigations and research, and local educational
institutions are not making the most of the natural advantages of the
Rocky Mountain region. Eight institutions Of the East invaded the
Southwest during the last year and carried away prize specimens of the
localities visited.
There III some famous things in the East that art a part Of history,
such as the Plymouth rock. We are content to allow those things to re
main there in the East, where they belong. We do protest against allow
ing people to come from the East and take from our Southwest the things
which belong to us.
We should have the most colossal museum in this country. The great
museums of the East are filled with nature specimens and relics which
have been brought from our own and negl boring states. Are we going
to sleep on, and let the rest of the country take advantage Of our lethargv

Will the Big Lone Star State Ever Split
Itself Into Five States? "
BY W. W. BELEN, Of Ell Paso, Texas.

Texas has thousands upon thousands of fertile acres of land that are
yet untouched by the pillow, and the state could easily support a popula-
ton of 100000 people, and yet the census figures just announced show
tina, it has only 1861, 027 people. One-third of the population of Texas
lives in ~ counties, yet the state has 23 counties. The population runs
all the way from 81 in the county of Crane, away out in west Texas, to
100000 in Dallas county. Ten Texas counties showed a gain of more
than 100 per cent in the last decade.
1t must be remembered that Texas, when it came into the Union, had
in its annexation treaty a clause providing that any time it SO desired it
might divide itself into five states and send ten United States senators
to Washington without any action on the part of congress being necessary
1t will be many years before Texas divides, but eventually such actor
will be taken, though do not believe it will divide into more than two
states. Even now the interests of west Texas and east Texas are entirely
dssimiar.
