Topeka, Dec. S.-Gov.- ELECT
Jonathan M. Davis is to have his
way about waving fOrmality at
the inaugural reception. State Of
ficials who also take office next
month had a meeting with Mr..
Davis and conceded the privilege
of outlining plans for the inaugpr-
al, The governor wants no dress
suits, no formal invitations and
the wives Of the officials will not
necessarily have to appear in de-

An innovation will be the fact
that the reception is to be held for

the city auditorium.

THE ROOSEVELT MUSEUM

Il AS time passes, the degree Il
which the whole nation honort
Theodore Roosevelt increases. Tho
national tribute has lately crystal
lied In the form Of a Roosevelt
memorial building, the birthplace
of the United States twenty
sixth president, which is to- house
the great Roosevelt library and
museum.
| The house is located on valua-
BILE land In the heart Of New York
City, and would doubtless have
been doomed to early replacement
by sky scrapers, IL the Memorial
Association had not taken steps
to preserve 1t. Next to 1t is a
house which belonged to RoOse-
velt's uncle, Robert Barnwell
Roosevelt, who was the Ameri-
can minister to Holland under
President Cleveland. Here the
younger Roosevelt often played as
a boy. This building is also to
be preserved, and will serve as an
annex to the museum and library.
The Roosevelt collections are
valuable not only as being the rec
ords Of great mans life, but as
furnishing valuable historic data.
Among the articles included are
Colonel Roosevelt's Spanish war
diary, collection of ROosevelt's
guns and cowboy equipment from
the days when he lived on a
the Roosevelt chair from
the White House, a gift to the
association from President Hard
ng; important manuscripts and
etters of Roosevelt; 5000 books,
magazine articles and pamphlets,

md over $4,000 clippings relat-
ng to Roosevelt's activities.

THOSE GENEROUS BANKERS

The report of the finding OF
100000 in perfectly good securi-
ties by four United Telephone EN-
plOyees and its return to the bank
of Portis, Kansas, from which 1t
had been stolen year ago has
also touch of human interest.
The bighearted bankers who had
given up all hope Of ever getting
back the money went right down
In their jeans and with gener-
osity typical Of the great free
west, where mans a man"
donated, gave, presented and
turned over to the young men
who made the find the magnificent
sum Of five dollars each, a total
Of $20--count 'em 20!
life is just like that-you find
great tender hearts everywhere.
men who appreciate things you do
for them and do not stop with
mere "thank YOU" Those Ports
bankers are certainly the salt of
the earth and the net profit of
$10,0SO that they made in one
day ought to be quite a satisfac-
tion, even though they did prac-
tically waste twenty dollars that
they might have saved by mere
ly setting up the cigars. We hope
they will not lose any sleep over
their outburst Of generosity which
probably. was due to excitement
and In their cooler moments would
have been modified, say to quar-
ter each. But it's done now and
they should make the best of 1t
and rest content in the praise
that will be theirs for their fine
spirit Of appreciation.
The sultan who has been sent
into retirement is one bird who
does not have to move very far.

die Of the readers, progress Q
and radicals are stumbling 0vel
each other In their scramble to
be the real and only "cham-

The secret Of all this sudden
affection for the farmer is plain.
The fate OF the 1924 presidential
election will be told In the middle
West states, where the farm vote
Is the predominant factor. The
Democia ats are wooing the farmer
ardently; the Republicans Of
various breeds and stripes are at
tempting to outwoo both the Dem
ocrats and each other. Viewing
the situation by and large, from
the standpoint Of results for the
farmer, he is In worse danger
than ever. He may be smoth-
cred by his friends.
The radicals say the farmer
needs markets, not more credit,
and are taking up the Norris bill,
setting up an elaborate govern
ment machine to act directly as
for the farmer. The
Of -the-roaders want to
vet up an intermediate finance
system with regional banks, etc.
rhe conservatives want to do the
