IS YEARS AGO IN Topeka
From the columns of
THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL



Topeka is to have first class heating
system to be under the management Of the
Edison Electric Illuminating company of
this city and the plant is to be operated in
connection with their present establish
ment here. The company will run its
service to the outside of the building, the
customer being required only to connect
the company's pipes with his own pipes.
The actual construction will be begun next
week. Two Babcock-Wilcox safety water
tube boilers of 800 horse power each have
already been shipped; This will give the
cost Of this heat for an ordinary store
room 25X1OO feet is estimated to be about
SO for ehe heating season.
Topeka people will be grieved to hear
that word has been received by Mrs.
Tewksbury that her niece, Miss Emily
Tewksbury, of New York is very ill with
consumption and cannot possibly recover.
Miss Tewksbury has visited in Topeka a
great deal where she has a host of friends
who will be sad to hear of of her illness.
Miss Georgian WATSON will entertain
about a dozen young ladies tomorrow after
noon in honor of Miss Nellie Small. Miss
Lizzie Hazlett and Miss Lottie Collins.

Hall Game, the British author, speak
ing of the proceedings at the Genoa
conference, asserts that the greed Of
French financiers threatens to engulf
the nation in another general war.
Game hits the nail on the head.
Greed caused the last world war and
has caused all other wars in the past
and will be the cause of all future
wars. If all greed was legally ruled out
of human society and discountenanced
entirely.>it would do away with all an
imosity and all troubles at home and
abroad. Thou shalt not covet" that
which by every principle of right and
need belongs to each and every other
human being. Vested wrongs are es-
tabfshed in violation of this very and
only principle of domestic tranquility,
which it is professedly the aim of the
United States Constitution to establish.
If that aim was always kept clearly
in view no measure would ever be pass
ed in any legislative body in the coun-

be drawn in any direction in which the
magnet was moved. By reversing the
magnet it would repel the toy ducks
and drive them away from it. In a
similar way everyone has within him
self the ability to attract persons and
things to him or repel them away from
him. and it depends entirely on the at
titude, disposition, conduct and charac-
ter Of the person what the result shall
be. Anyone by reflection ought to be
able to know that it makes difference
in the, reaction of other people upon
him how he conducts himself towards
them. Everyone can be pleasant to
other people or disagreeable; be cour,-

In reply TO a communication from
a friend in New York, we would say
that mischievous meddling is the most
obstructive factor that cooperative ef-
fort everywhere has to contend with.
Where self-seeking members aim only
to benefit themselves and are not will
ing to make any temporary sacrifice
that the exigency of the undertaking
or circumstances may involve, even the
most deserving and honestly-managed
cooperative venture may be wrecked
beyond redemption. An ounce of com
mon sense is worth pound Of book
learning, more especially in a case
where the man who has the booklearn-
ing has never had any practical exper-
fence in applying that learning, 1t is
a mighty easy job to sit in some office
and find fault with men who are &C
tually engaged in cooperative work,
often with refractory elements who
want the benefits Of cooperation with
out being willing to assume the duties
and obligations in demeanor, conduct,
and. action that co-operative under
taking calls for. Let the seIf-appoint-
ed high-priest of cooperation in Amer
lea get on the firing line, in the front
trenches, get down to brsss tacks III
actual cooperation, and we'll wager his
self-assurance will suffer blow form
which it is doubtful he will ever recov-
er.

ton can be imagined than the one pro
posed by the Lords Day Alliance, .
which demands that God be placed lin
the, Constitution of the United States.
If God is everywhere and is omnipo-
tent, he certainly does not require be-
ing placed anywhere by any individ-
ual or any alliance. The real object
no doubt is to place The Lords Day
Alliance in the constitution, and they
use the name Of God only to camou-
flage their own sinister and tyrannical
purpose Of compelling people to con-
form to their narrow notions. The
people should not permit themselves to
be fooled by fanatical speculative the
ologians. God, to maintain his author
ity, does not require the puny arm of
men who apparently had rather sponge

Man is the only animal, excepting
under great stress or provocation, who
devours its own species. The compe-
titive strife of to-day is part of this.
Early man was a cannibal; later on he
found it more profitable in making his
captives work for him than to eat them.
his grew into many different forms
of slavery or servitude. Mans intel
ligence finally rules, as it always will,
and through this his conscience; there
by he is little by little forming an at
titude against any form of slavery, ell
Their mental or physical. He is arriving
at this point of view, both from the
ethics involved, and the portentous fact
that mutual gain is more secure and
better sustained where equal liberty for
Il all is protected. This in no manner
or way indicates any form of social
equality, but it does very much that of
industrial cooperation. This, then,
shows very clearly the direction in
which the human race is travelling. The
firm basis of belief for this is the fact
that man is divining animal and ne
yer at rest mentally. The mind, which
controls his thinking powers actualiz-
es into facts of life; they become a
part of himself, and in this he never
goes astray. yet is forever making mis-
takes; but they are only such mistakes
as chemist or an inventor would make
in searching for the right way. In this
regard man may be said to be con-
stantly, eagerly, digging for the truths
of life. And in the nature of things,
he cannot fail; for if this were not so
there could be no life. And there could
be no room for mans ever increasing
mentality. This, then, is the saving
grace; what differentiates him from
all other animals, as far as we can tell.
For instance, man will ia Ike the differ
ent forms of nature in their crudity,
animate or inanimate, but useless, I'M
til, through his mentality, alone ex-
pressed in man, changes crudity into
value for mankind. This is the divin-
ing element in man, AMI what splendid
future may we grant for the human
race with so tremendous powers, so
infallibly enthroned.

The Bible says, The man of sin is to

the rascals are to be exposed and turn

sibility. The day of salvation will be

bluffed and duped. The whole power
Of the so-called rulers is a supreme
bluff with no real power back Of them.

do not overlook the fact that it is al
so absolutely imperative and indispen-
sable for them to rely upon their own
personal effort and their own direct

The editor Of the Llano Colonist
does not feel himself qualified to criti-
else or find fault with any other coop
erative institution anywhere else. To
give "a just and valid estimate of ancth-
er enterprise he would have to know
very intimately the people composing
such an undertaking. For it is not so
much any particular system or method
as it is the character of the people that
counts. If people really and truly
want to cooperate, if they are filled
with the spirit of mutual heIpfulness,
then they will cooperate and they will
succeed, no matter just at what end of
the game they start, provided they are
guided in their actions by the realities
of life instead of permitting themselves
to be hampered by preconceived no.
tons and cut-and-dried plans that do
not fit in the circumstances prevailing
in the locality and among the people
where the cooperative venture is to
be made.
The spirit of mutual heIpfulness in
connection with tact and mutual cour-
tesy will score success every time.

The Allies, who owe the United
States several billion dollars, loaned to
them during the war, and which bill
lions were taxed from the peopIeof the
United tSates, insist at the Genoa Con-

debts incurred by the Car. And at
the same time the allies proclaim their
inability to pay even the interest on
the billions loaned them by the United
States.

LETTUCE is HIGHLY
VALUABLE AS A FOOD

The great value of lettuce as food
was discussed in a very instructive
manner BY Comrade H. c. Sutton at
the Agricultural Meeting at LIano Col
ony on Friday night, May II. He
said:
Lettuce is the most important veg
etable salad plant, and the mainstay Of
the home gardener for salad purposes.
He should aim to have it in perfect
condition for the table from early
spring until fall. As food, lettuce
lis principally of value for the organ
&c mineral salts that it contains in
greater proportion than almost any
other vegetable or fruit. For instance.
when all moisture is eliminated from
the following foods, they contain these
organic mineral salts per thousand as
follows: nuts In proportion of 10.
milk SO, eggs AZ, fruits, average. IS,
Ilegumes 30, white flour 5, whole wheat
flour 23.l0, lettuce 1000, spinach
1871, radishes 10. cabbage l23, to-
matoes l76. celery 1870.
! Lettuce contains 68 parts of potash,
70 of lime and los Of phosphorus.
The daily human diet should con-
tain at least 2 percent of organic min
eral salts; and disregard of this neces-
sity and consequent deficiency in the
system is responsible for many con-
dition of sickness.
There is no need probably Of de-
scribing lettuce as a plant. Almost
any one has seen and no doubt par
taken of it, possibly not sufficiently
as its food value should dictate.
Where heavy frost occurs in winter
it is grown in greenhouses, but may
be grown successfully in hotbeds where
the climate it less rigorous and where
protection during cold nights and Sc
veral days can be given, 1t is a very
profitable crop for the gardener who
thoroughly understands its cultivation
and marketing. 1t can often be plant
ed between cabbage, cauIiflower and
other crops because of its quick growth
and being out of the way, as these
plants grow large.
The lecturer read an article from the
Country Gentleman giving specific in
struction for planting and the proper
cultivation of lettuce.
Comrade Beavers who has been en-
gagged in lettuce raising as business,
both in Texas and in Arizona, brought
out some interesting points as to the
profitable marketing of lettuce. This
is no doubt the most important part
for the gardener who has to figure on
a distant market, Proper co-ope=a-
tive organizations alone will satisfac-
torily solve this phase of the problem.

BOND NEWS AND NOTES.

Increased offerings of French Govern
ment obligations, which carried the TVS
and IS about point net lower featured
dealings In yesterdays bond market,
which on the whole was rather quiet
and uninteresting. Attention of traders
was diverted from railroad issues The
weakness of Grench Governments was
easily traceable to the drop in French
francs and the further break In marks.
which now sell around 2,0s0 for the dol
lar. The gilt edged rails industrials
and United States Governments were
largely neglected Some of the Libertys
were made a shade easier again, but
generally that group presented steady
'front.'. In the traction division there
was moderate bidding for several issues.

PRICE DECLIVITY
IN COTTON MARKET
Profit Taking and Liquidation
Appear Prior to Issuance
Of Crop Report.

The cotton market continued yester-
day to reflect liquidation prior to the
issuance of the Governments crop re-
port and profit taking over the week
end. After number OF narrowly ir-
regular movements prices declined about
2s to 40 points in the last hour. closing
within a few points Of the days lowest
level
The list evidently was affected ~ the
Watkins Bureau report, wfiioh placed
the condition Of the crop at 81.9 per
cent. Of normal and made the yield
11,472,000, or considerably more than
expected. Another report, that of Nor
man, Mayer & Co., showed q condition
OF 81 and an indicated yield Of 1o,600,-
900 bales.
At one time In the early dealings the
market was up little on the continued
bad weather in the belt The weather
map showed no precipitation except a
slight rainfall at Atlanta
Liverpool cables were mostly steady.
Spot business abroad was veryH dull
ana Manchester reported fair business
in yarns and cloths.
At least part of the late increase In
selling was due to private reports of
beneficial showers in Texas. New Orr
leans offered cotton freely In the final
half hour. There was some pressure on
the less constructive weekly statistics
Spinners' takings for the week were
estimated at $4,000 bales, compared
with $4,000 a week ago. The amount
OF cotton brought into sight last week
totalled 113.143 bales, against 90,32s
bales the last previous week. Fall

with prices OF goods unchanged. DR.,

Indications are that there will be a
prcponderance of railroad bonds in the
next new financing movement. Wall
street is discussing a s25.000,00 issue
Of Lackawanna Railroad general and
refunding 5s, which, 1t is believed, soon
will be offered around par. A special
meeting of stock holders has been called
TO authorize these bonds, It Is under
stood. An Issue of $4.000,000 Great
Northern equipment trust certificates is
also expected soon and probably will be
offered on about 400 per cent. basis.
Several pieces OF industrial financing.
ranging as high as two and three million
dollars, are scheduled for next week.
