gang has spoken first.
P'.thaps the Filipinos have not heard
the report from Europe that the man
captured is not the real Aguinaldo-. At
ar.y rate they are falling over one anoth
er in their eagerness to surrender.
The thing to do is to have Gen. Fun
ston an ! President McKInley here at the
sa.-re time and the interest In the occa
pior might be enhanced by the presenta
tion of that commission making him a
brigadier general in the regular army.
Service in the Philippines is likely to
possess little more interest for Gen. Fun
Eton. It would be like him to resign his
commission and go to South Africa
whtre there is fighting. As a persistent
fighter Joe Wheeler isn't la It with, the
Kat saa man.
An illustration of the proneness of
people to guess wrong is aiforded by the
following paragraph In the Oil City
IerT-iek of last Wednesday:
"General Kunston's scheme foT the
rapture of Aguinaldo is merely a daring
piece of treachery that Is v-ry likely to
end In his own capture. The bold little
warrior evidently believes he is bound
to do something in order to live up to
bis reputation."
WHO KILLED THE EXPOSITION?
The proposed Kansas Semi-Centennial
exposition has been abandoned. The de
feat of this project which would have
meant much to the state at large was
du? to petty jealousies which would do
credit to children of tender years. Grave
and dignified politicians defeated the ex
position because they were afraid To
Ika might be the gainer.
Now that it is all over It must be sd
Tnitted that th- central figure of this op
position was none other than. Governor
Ftanley himself. At the outset he evinc
ed a great interest in the project, accept
ed a position on the board of directors
and lent his influence to put the move
ment on its feet. Then he heard from
the politicians. A midden change came
over him and he entered the arena in
armed opposition to the very plans he
hai helped to formulate. It lacked very
little ot playing the part of a traitor but
that Is not what Governor Stanley in
terded. He listened to the politicians
whj said It would nsver do hold such an
exposition In Topeka. He was not strong
enough to rise above them and he pre
ferred to stultify himself rather than to
oirue the politicians. Governor Stan
ley's mouthpiece. Senator Carpenter, was
the most bitter of the opponents of the
measure.
The claim was made that Topeka was
asking too much. But even acknowl
edging that it was Topeka and Topeka
alune that asked for the loan from the
state to aid a great public enterprise it
Is no more than Omaha asked and no
more than Buffalo or Nashville received.
There was nothing unreasonable in the
request and the burden would not have
been felt by the people at large. That
was not the trouble. It was simply an
excuse for venting petty epite against
Topeka.
An exposition such as was proposed
would have been of great value to Kan
sas. It would have opened the eyes of
the world to the fact that the state has
regained what It lost through a series
of unfortunate years of bad crops. It
would have helped every section of the
Ftate and Tcpeka would have received
little or no more permanent benefit than
Emporia, Newton or Salina.
YViula the Kansas F.KnosUioa waa
frowned upon and killed by the legis
lature the men who preached economy
voted on appropriation of 175,000 to help
the St. Louis Exposition. Such an ex
ample of legislative inconsistency as this
it would be difficult to find in the jour
nal of any legislature.
But Governor Stanley and -the poli
ticians have had their way. They are
the ones who are responsible and Kan
Bas will probably be able to worry along
without an Exposition.
USE OF THE AUDITORIUM.
The question which must soon be de
cided, and a question of vital import
ance to the citizens of Topeka, is
whether the Auditorium can be used as
a place of entertainment by attractions
that wish to come there.
The points will have to be decided by
the courts according to law, but the
same can be decided by the people, in
their own minds, according to justice,
as the arguments pro and con are seen
by the laymen. It must be conceded
that it would not be right to allow the
Auditorium, a publio building, to be
used by theatrical companies In direct
competition with the opera houses. No
body expects that, but the people do
expect, now that the magnificent build
ing Is a fact, that large attractions
that heretofore passed by Topeka he
cause there was no suitable place for
them to appear, shall be seen and heard
in the Auditorium. Nobody expects to
have the platform there fitted with all
the accessories of an opera house stage,
and for Mr. Mansfield or for Miss P.ehan
to appear there. Nevertheless, the peo
ple do expect, and it seems that they
have a perfect right to the opinion, that
.such attractions as the Marine band,
concert companies and lecturers should
have the right and privilege to appear'
there. Such attractions as always ap
pear In such places as the Auditorium,
when such a building is to be had, would
not be coming in direct competition
with the opera houses, and the people
would profit by the arrangement because
a lower admission fee could be charged.
The High school 13 a public building,
and lectures and .concerts have been
held In the assembly room there for
several years and nobody ever thought
of bringing an injunction suit to pre
vent them.
Another point which appeals to the
people is that Topeka can boast of no
opera house such as the people would
like to have, and the opera houses here,
although far from being the best, have
for years received the patronage of the
people. Why could not the managers
of the opera houses be magnanimous
and not interfere with the wishes or the
entertainment of the people? Topeka
has been paying high prices for attrac
tions for years that appear In other
cities for half what they do here, for
the simple reason that in other cities
the opera houses are adequate to hold
an audience large enough to bring in
the same receipts at half the price
charged In Topeka. The people of To
peka have been very considerate with
the opera house managers for years.
Why should not the managers be con
siderate of the accommodation of the
people ? "
EYES NOW ON FUNSTON.
There has been a lot of talk over the
United States during the past two years
regarding General Funston. A great
many people in Kansas and in other
parts of the country were inclined to
credit Funston's achievements to John
Steele and other newspaper correspond
ents. Funston's latest move which lias
excited the admiration of the world is
the capture of Aguinaldo, and the lit
tle general did not take a newspaper
man with him, so the doubting Thomas
can not say that the capture originated
in the fertile brain of a space writer.
The most brilliant part of the capture
of Aguinaldo was the fact that there
was no newspaper man with the little
company which braved the dangers of
the expedition. This Is more to Fun
ston's credit than the fact of the cap
ture. If he had allowed a newspaper
man to accompany them It would have
been forever harped in the ears of the
public that the newspaper man did the
whole thing.
There Is one thing against the leaving
of a newspaper man behind, and that
was that there has not yet been pub
lished a good account of the capture,
and every one Is waiting for that ac
count. The telegraph editors have done
their part; they have headed the stuff
"How Funston Did It," but the- wires
refused to tell the story, and the peo
ple are still waiting for a good account
of the best story of the past ten years.
And the delay is all caused by the lack
of a good writer with the party. Pack
of that is the fact that there should
have been a writer with the party and.
In all probability, there would have been
but there are so many harpies in this
country that the little Kansas general
evidently thought that he would show
the people that he could get along with
out one. Funston knows the value of
a correspondent, and he realizes that
the people should know the news, for
he is a newspaper man; but he has come
to a realization of the fact that a man
who talks to a newspaper man is ac
cused of being a fake, so he very prop
erly dodged on the beat item of ten
years.
The great glory of the capture Is none
the less appreciated In Kansas, where
men have been explaining to their east
ern friends concerning Mrs. Nation. The
recent riots and bloodshed have induced
the people of other states to stay up
nights to point the finger of scorn at
Kansas. They were delighted. But Just
as they were telling of Mrs. Nation and
her fanatical raids comes the news that
It took a Kansas man to capture the
Filipino chief.
The entire country now praises Kan
sas. A week ago the entire country
was telling what a lot of fanatics the
state produced."
There is no comparison between Gen
eral Funston and Mrs. Nation, but it
took Funston to bring the state back to
Its proper standing.
The entire population of the state is
pleased with Funston, even the men
who said that he was not the man for
the place, and they are no all joining
hands and circling to the tune of "Hot
Time," which was the anthem the Kan-
sacs used in the Philippines.
VOTE FOB. GREATER TOPEKA.
The city election occurs Tuesday.
While the Santa Fe shop extension
proposition has not been made the Issue
of the campaign, it has been generally
conceded that it is the most important
question the people of Topeka have
been called upon to decide, either this
year or during the past decade. One
thing is certain, the decision of the citi
zens as will be expressed at the polls
will have a far-reaching effect, either
for the progress or retrogression of the
city.
The bonds solicited by the Commercial
club do not aggregate a large sum, only
$70,000. The bonds are not asked at the
instigation of the Santa Fe Railway
company but by the members of the
Commercial club for the reason that
they saw that this was the only way the
proposed new shops of the Santa Fe
could be secured to this city.
The Santa Fe company has had of
fered to them land enough and more
than enough for their use free of cost in
locations perhaps as desirable as To
peka. It was only the earnest efforts
of the Commercial club members who
took prompt and decisive action in the
matter that the shops were located here.
The company will pay the sum of $500
per acre for the land secured, the bal
ance to be paid to the property owners
from the sum raised on the bonds.
There has never been at any time an
organized opposition to the proposition,
and the opposition has been gradually
decreasing until at present the prospects
of a successful issue are very favorable.
The friends of the project should not
look upon this indication as a release
for them from their duty of going to the
polls and easting-their ballot for Greater
Topeka. For this Is the only danger, as
pledges enough have been made to in
sure the passage of the proposition.
On next Wednesday the people of To
peka will have great cause for elation
for orders will then be given and the
work on the new blacksmith shop which
has been delayed will begin at once, and
more steel for the erection of the other
new buildings will be ordered and de
livered. And inside of a twelvemonth
Topeka will have made a greater sub
stantial gain than for many a year.
Don't forget to vote and vote for prog
ress. '
HELP THE STATE FAIR.
The initial move has been made in an
effort to have a state fair in Topeka
where live stock from all over the com
monwealth can be exhibited in friendly
rivalry and trials of speed be given for
liberal purses.
Members of the legislature should not
become alarmed at this announcement,
however, nor. should Governor Stanley
assemble them together in session extra
ordinary, because the state will not be
asked to appropriate a single dollar
towards the support of the organiza
tion. The purpose of the association, as out
lined by the promoters, is to have a state
fair and race meet in the city of Topeka
in the fall of each year. Proper build
ings are to be erected for a display of
mining, agricultural and manufacturing
interests. Also suitable stables to shel
ter fancy thoroughbred cattle and race
horses. ,
Behind the movement are men of ex
perience and thorough reliability and
this is a guarantee that all the affairs
of the association will be conducted on
a high plane of honesty and that every
promise made and every feature adver
tised will be carried out to the letter of
the law.
There is no reason why Kansas should
not have a state fair that would be a
credit to the organizers, to Topeka and
the public at large. Kansas makes a
success of everything she attempts and
of course the subject in question would
naturally follow along the same lines.
There is every requisite within the
Jayhawker domains to make an exhibi
tion as fine as the sun ever shone upon.
Corn that is picked only by the use
of stepladders; wheat that kings and
queens have ground into flour for break
fast pancakes; a general that can cap
ture a ruler greater than an emperor;
coal that builds the fires that boil the
water that makes the steam that runs
the locomotives of four of the greatest
railway systems in the United States.
Fat cattle that can hold their own
anywhere, are common as old shoes and
lead, zinc and oil as fine as old mother
nature turns out. As for racing it is
only necessary note that John R. Gen
try, Joe Patchen and Smuggler are
Kansas products. In fact the prairies
are dotted with fast colts that would
require kite-shaped tracks to allow their
full speed to be recorded.
Every encouragement should be given
the movement in question. The more
publicity given our state products, the
better sales and the wider the markets
made.
Other states hold these annual fairs
and very successfully, too, and there is
no reason why Kansas shouldn't do so.
It would be a meeting place for farmers
and stockmen to assemble and exchange
views, get pointers from each other and
encourage the breeding of the highest
grades of stock and planting of most
available crops.
Let none who are asked to assist fall
to place a shoulder to the wheel and give
the project a friendly boost.
VICTORY FOB, FREE SPEECH.
The decision of the United States ap
pellate court Thursday In the Reese ha
beas corpus case, is especially interest
ing to the miners of southeastern Kan
sas. As recited in the press dispatches.
John P. Reese, & member of the United
ML-.e Works of America, was imprisoned
on a charge alleging contempt of an in
junctive order.
During the miners strike of a year ago
last summer, Reese was arrested and
thrown into jail at Fort Scott. The
Western Coal and Mining company had
secured an injunction against union men
and "all others combining, confederating
or conspiring with those who are resi
dents of the state," and it waa for the
alleged violation of this that Reese was
impiisoned. He had made speeches up
holding the strike of the miners and for

the court, still ths-t order had been made

that it was not ehown that Reese had
conpired to' injure the property of the
plaintiffs. The court further held that
the offense of violating a restraining or
der depends upon, the actual existence of
such order "with action charged in the
suit to which he is a party by name or
adequate representation." The writ waa
upheld from the fact that the federal
constitution as well as all the precedents
set by American jurists gave this right
to an accused.
T.ie strike sympathizers were very bit
ter in denouncing the authorities for
seizing Reese in the first place, and it is
one of the events of the trouble which it
is difficult for those interested to forget.
The denial of the lower court to release
the defendant on a writ of habeas corpus
waa considered by them as a violation
of the fundamental law of the land. The
men thus interested, this decision cannot
faii to please.
