Afruinaldo has undertaken to prove
that a live Filipino can be a. good Fili

to follow Funston, it would be kept on
the move.
The question of what shall he done

The Democratic victories reported

What the public would like to know

THE STEEL COLOSSUS. IL
From the New York World.
This is the true age of iron. Iron and
its products form the foundation and a
Very lar?e part of the superstructure of
material civilization.
What is the relation of this billion dol
lar steel colossus to the age of iron?
The latest figures for the w-orld's prod
uct of pig- iron are 40,500,000 tons a year.
Of this France produces two and a half
millions, Germany eight millions. Great
Uritain nine and a half millions, the
United States just under fourteen mil
lions. That is, the United States pro
duces nearly one-third of all the iron.
To he world's production of steel, 2" -
000. 000 tons, the United States contrib
utes 10,7CO,000 tons considerably more
than one-third.
The Steel Colossus mines about SO per
cent cf all the iron mined in thi3 coun
try and is incomparably the largest own
er of iron mines and iron lands in ti,e
world. It could produce twice as much
iron as it does. It produces 95 per cent
of all the steel made in this country and
lias the capacity to produce more than
11.000,000 tons a year at the very lowest
prices in the whole world.
The United States iron industry domi
nates the iron industry of the world. And
the Steel Colossus is the United States
Iron industry.
But is it far more than the largest iron
miner and maker of pig-iron and of stel
billets In the world larger than ail t ie
French and Germans together, larger
than all the French and British together,
with a greater capacity than ail the Ger
mans and British together. It Is also the
largest maker of almost all the raanu
fac'urers of steel except machinery. It
na'es every one of the coarser kinds of
steel products, from rails and structural
iron to nails. It even manufactures Ixon
bedteads-
It directly dominates the most exten
sive lines of steel production. It indi
rectly dominates all the others through
Its control of pig-iron and steel billets
It makes 75 per cent of the steel billets,
73 per cent of the heavy rails, 90 per
cent of the street railway rails, S5 per
cent cf the structural steel, SO per cent of
the steel plates, 85 per cent of the wire,
aJl the sheet steel, all the tubes.
But this is only part of the Btory. The
Steel Colossus is also the greatest coal
miner in the world. It mines annually
more than r0 million tons, chiefly for ls
own use in producing the heat necessary
to its multiform activities. It is the larg
est manufacturer of tin-plate in tb2
world, owning about 265 mills in the
United States and making practically
all our tin-plate. It Is the largest man
ufacturer of coke, with about a hundred
cukf worka and upward of 30,000 coke
ovens. It is the largest manufacturer of
gas in the world, one of the largest quar
ries of stone.
It owns 1.00C miles of railway. It owns
great rteeta of lake steamers, river steam
era, sailing vessels and barges. In addi
tion to its vast coal and iron lands, it is
one of the great owners of city and town
real estate. It Is the largest owner of
houses, whether for manufacturing or
dwelling purposes. As tens of thousands
of its employes live in its houses or on
its ships and boats, and get their sup
plies from its Btores, it racks very high
as a dealer in groceries, furniture, clot i-
1. ng. etc., etc
Such are a few indications of the mul
titude and magnitude of its products and
THE PARADE OYEK.
The dress parade is over.
The plain march of business sincerity
and eommonsense will now proceed.
Hypocrisy and effervescence on the one
hand have brought defeat to the head of
the Republican ticket. Sincerity and
substantial merit have been, given vic
tory on the other.
Tha waving plumes of Colonel Hughes,
who rode at the head of the Republican
column as its gay cavalier, are drooped
and soiled. His handsome cavalry boots
and dashing uniform were marred and
disfigured In Tuesday's battle.
Citizen Parker in the plain uniform of
the successful trooper is the victor in
the election contest. He wore no feathers
in his hat and his shoes were not of
patent leather.
The city of Topeka is naturally Re
publican by 2,500 votes. We now see the
remarkable outcome wherein the head of
the Republican ticket is defeated and
the remainder of the candidates elected
by handsome numbers. While the Re
publicans lost the mayoralty by eleven
votes, they secured the city attorney by
the overwhelming majority of 2.S6S.
For a strong Republican city, Topeka
is wonderfully independent and results
at the polls show that a nomination at
the primary, no matter how overwhelm
ing it may be, will not insure an objec
tionable nominee the office for which the
Republicans have entered him in the
race for the highest municipal honor.
Colonel Hughes was insincere.
He was made the candidate of the
law and order league, so denominated.
This league knew that tha protestations
and promises of their candidate were not
in accord with his action and reputa
tion. He was not true to his convictions.
The law and order people were aware of
this, and they chafed under his in
sistence. But his nomination was foisted
upon them and they contented them
selves with working for a principle, not
in harmony with the person, on the
plea that they would maka him do their
bidding. '
The majority of the people of Topeka
have now repudiated hypocrisy. Colonel
Hughes not long tinea admitted, that he
was a resubrnissloniat, but he com
pelled the prohibitionists to shoulder
him. '
Insincerity has been rebuked. ' I
e e
The business elements of the city of
Topeka were afraid of the colonel. They
did not believe him to be of the proper
timber for mayor. There was too much
show and tinsel about him. He was
not regarded a safe man for the place.
Many disbelieved in his promises tending
to the full municipal control of the
waterworks. Mr. Parker's sincerity on
the waterworks proposition was un
doubted. Hughes' real position was re
garded as questionable on this issue as
well as upon others.
Mr. Parker was elected by the Re
publicans. A great many of that party
who thought the race for Parker al
most a hopeless one, yet determined to
vote against the straight Republican
candidate, in an effort to reduce the ma
jority and thereby rebuke partisanship
and insincerity in local affairs.
The utmost effort was made by the
Republican politicians to whip the voters
into party lines. This in Topeka muni
cipal contests has always been a diffi
cult undertaking. Tariff and free trade,
expansion and anti-expansion and na
tional policies and measures did not set
tle this election in Topeka.
Neither was it a victory for the "wets."
The overwhelming vote received by Mr.
Spencer who represents the strongest
sort of temperance sentiment in this
community plainly shows this.
Many Topeka people, men and women,
strongly opposed to the Joints and the
illegal sale of liquor, voted yesterday for
Mr. Parker because they believed him
the better temperance man of the two.
Mr. Warner has received a large si'sed
vindication. Had he been the nominee
of the Republicans it is generally believ
ed he would have received the big natur
al Republican majority.
While Col. Hughes received a majority
of the ballots cast by women, the returns
show that Mr. Parker received about
two-fifths of that vote. The latter car
ried the woman vote in four precincts.
"One of the most gratifying incidents
of the election to me," said the newlv
elected mayor today, "is that in my
own old precinct where I lived so many,
many years until recently, the Fifth pre
cinct of the Second ward, I carried the
woman vote. The Second precinct of :ne
Fourth ward also gave me its woman
vote, as did several other precincts."
The Republicans have again learned a
bitter lesson. That in Topeka their can
didate must have ability, sincerity and
the confidence of the people in addition
to being the nominee.
It Is safe to assume, in view of iii3
integrity, his business capacity and suc
cess; a large property owner, a temper
ance man of the strictest kind, that Mr.
Parker will tnake a generally satisfac
tory mayor. That the joints in Topeka
will be under better control than they
have been under Mr. Drew or would
have been under Col. Hughes, Is the sin
cere belief of many who gave their votes
to Albert Parker.
A contest, of course, is brewing. This
comes, however, with poor grace from
CoL Hughes who Tuesday claimed his
election by 2,000 and who possessed the
general machinery at the polls. The fact
that the commissioner of elections, a
Republican and is the chairman of tha
city central committee compiles the fig
ures showing Hughes" defeat, ought to
be sufficient to permit the gallant colonel
to step gracefully down and off from his
high black charger and resume his posi
tion in the ranks to march and work for
greater Topeka, now assured by the over
whelming vote for the new Santa Fe
shops.
Now, Colonel, don't throw any chunks
of coal at Citizen Parker. He has over
come you fairly and squarely with the
little white ballots administered by the
majority of the voters. Take your med
icine like a little man. You will feel
better. ,
If Mr. J. Plerpont Morgan and Mr.
James J. Hill can succeed in their
scheme of inducing the government to
abandon the construction of an isth
mian canal and allow them to complete
the Panama undertaking, then the peo
ple can whistle for . an . interoeeanic
waterway. The delay in this Important
work up to this time has been caused
by just such men as Morgan and Hill
and th interests which they represent.
Bishop Alexander Waters claims that
45 per cent, of the illiteiacy of the negro
race in the United States has been elim
inated since the date of emancipation.
The negroes have raised for educational
purposes during that period the sum of
$13,065,000. They have accumulated in
church property $40,000,000; in school
property, $15,000,000. They have 150,000
farms, valued at $325,000,000, with per
sonal property worth $163,000,000. There
are now 230,000 negro children in the
public schools, 45,000 in higher institu
tions, 30,000 learning trades and 35,000
who are engaged in teaching.
The assertion of the late Senator In
galls that the Golden Rule has no place
in politics has been disproved by Samuel
M. Jones, of Toledo, O., who has been
re-elected mayor of that city on this
well defined issue.

Women have not much to offer in th

has offered to shampoo another woman's
hair if the woman will vote for faer can

When a man comes around, and offers
to pay 30 per cent on money invested
with him, how superior he seems tooth

ten' on their capital! But when his
scheme is actually in operation, an
gradually eats up the original capital,
instead of paying 30 per cent dividends,
the safe men who really pay S per cent
are appreciated. ' ,

AltEOK DAY APRIL 12.
Governor Stanley Issues Hia Procla
mation Today,
Governor Stanley issued a proclamation
today designating: Friday, April 12, as
Arbor day. Governor Stanley calls at
tention to the value of the observance in
these words:
'"It is an established custom in this Ftate
to set apart a day known aa 'Arbor day.'
In probably no other state of the Union
are greater benefits to be derived from
the proper observance of this custom than
in Kansas, as is .shown by the increasing
beauty of our public and private parks,
anvea ana grounus. we are realizing
much more each year the importance of
the growth of trees to the whole commun
ity, and no tree should be cut down unless
two or more are planted in its stead.
"The day should be observed by our
peopie generally, and In our schools and
places of learning- throughout the state
appropriate exercises should be held, that
the young may be impressed by the ma
terial benefits and advantages to be de
rived by the planting1 of trees, shrubs
and vines in public place and in the
adornment of our schools and homes.
Every boy and girl can become a factor
in the material development of Kansas hy
planting a tree or shrub on Arbor day,
and afterward giviiiK attention to its de
velopment and growth."

arriving at Topeka at 8:10 p. m. The
train will make special stops at Colorado
Springs, Glenwood Springs and other
places of interest in Colorado. At Salt

ing services at the Mormon Tabernacie
and visiting the bathing rsorts, as well
as other points in that vicinity. Contin
uing their Journey the delegates will
reach the GoldenGates city at 8 a m., Fri
day, July 18.
Returning delegates have a choice of
several routes,the LosAngeles and Santa
Fe, the Denver and Rio Grande or the
Union Pacific On by paying a slight
increase they can return by way of Port
land, Oregon, and the Billings route.
