Governor Hoeh Hasn't Approved
Freight Kate Keport.
Says He Hasn't Had Time to
Examine It.
Governor Hoch is still undecided
whether or not he will approve the re
port on freight rates which has been
prepared by the boardof railroad com
missioners under instructions of the
Stone resolution. The report does not
comply strictly with the terms of the
resolution, and the results are mater
ially different from what they would
be had the state of Colorado not been
included in the averages.
The reliability of the report has also
been questioned on the ground that all
the figures on rates were furnished
and made up in the freight tariff of
fices of the various railroads, and have
not been fully checked over to Drove
their accuracy and equity.
Governor Hoch says: "As soon as I"
get time, I shall go through this re
port, and decide what I will do about
it. So far I have not had time to look
into the proposition. I do not expect
to make a complete examination of all
the points covered by the report, but I
think it will not take so very Ioiie to
investigate the points about which
some question has been raised."
It is not required by the resolution
that the governor shall accept or re
ject the. report. He simply has to ac
cept what the board of railroad com
missioners care to submit to him, but
the resolution goes on to say: ". . .
and the governor shall transmit the
report to the next legislature, with
such recommendations as he may de
sire to make."
That is the time when Governor
Hoch will be able to get in his work.
If he finds that the report is inac
curate or has been "spiked" for the
purpose of showing a certain condition
to exist, he has the authority to tell
the legislature about it, and indicate
what value should be placed upon the
reoort.
Robert Stone, the author of the res
olution, is at work looking up the ques
tionable features of the report, and his
findings will no doubt carry much
weight with the governor in deciding
what recommendations will be made to
the legislature.
HILL OUT OF IT.
Captain of Washburn Football
Team Crippled.
Will Not Be in Normal Game on
Saturday.
GAME A HARD ONE.
Sons of I tii a bod Expect a Close
Contest.
How the Teams Will Line Up in
Topeka.
W.A. WHITE'S LECTURE
Discusses "The Golden Kule" to a
Colorado Springs Audience.
Captain John Dadisman of the
Washburn 1904 football team: "I
have watched the State Normal team
at work, and I can say that it is, in
my opinion, the best bunch of football
material In the state. The Normal will
give Washburn one of the hardest
games of its schedule."
Saturday afternoon at 3:30 the State
Normal team will fight it out with
Washburn on the Washburn field.
Last year the Normal team failed to
bring their football suits, and had to
wear the clothes of the Washburn
scrubs. This year they have promised
to bring their own clothes, and be on
time. The score of last year's game
was 2 9 to 0 in favor of Washburn.
This year's Normal team is said to be
the heaviest team in the state. The
Klmer Hill, Captain Washburn Team.
players are none of them excessively
large, but they average well up to
ward 185 pounds mark.
The Normal team has been coached
by Samson, an old Princeton player.
The officials for the Washburn-JNor-mal
game will be E. C. Quigley of St.
Mary's and John Fleishman, the old
K. U. player. Quigley will referee.
The Washburn team will probably
be somewhat crippled in the Normal
game by the absence of Hill at tackle.
Hill is suffering from an injured
shoulder. He may start the game,
but he will hardly attempt to play it
out. Ware will probably be put in at
his place, unless Sharp's bad ankle
should happen to fail, in which ease
Ware will go to guard. If both Hill
and Sharp are put out. Ware will play
tackle, and Hartzell guard.
The probability is that Washburn
will win over the Normal bv a small
score, but it would not be surprising
if the Normal should cross Washburn's
soal line.
Washburn's game for October 14 is
with the State Agricultural college,
and is scheduled for Manhattan. Efforts
are being made to have the game
played in Topeka.
John Dadisman and "Jimmy" Stew

Colorado Springs, Oct. 6. A delight
"ul audience heard William Allen
White, the distinguished literateur and
journalist, lecture before the Men's
league at the First Presbyterian church
on "The Golden Rule."
Mr. White spoke of the true philos
ophy of Christianity and of its growth
in the world from the dark ages to the
present time. He said in part:
"The laws of the Romans gave more
power to the nobles than liberty to the
people. The Greek philosophy, cold
and beautiful though it was. had in it
no germ of life. For the love of beau
ty and the principle of liber
ty are only good as they lead to right
relationship between men. All systems
of the distribution of wealth will be
at fault until virtue shall prompt the
idea of the system. Jealousy and greed
will quarrel but they will not solve the
problems that confront our govern
ment today. When man loves his
neighbor as himself, all our social
problems will be satisfactorily solved.
From all the philosophies there comis
but one true voice, the golden rule, the
law of life, the keystone of our civic
law."
After the lecture George Gardner
asked all who appreciated the lec
ture and who wished to thank the
speaker to rise. The audience rose in
a body. The Rev. W. E. Work sprang
to his feet, exclaiming: "That was
worth a thousand sermons. And I am
glad that it was not spoken by a
preacher."

SPECIAL EXHIBIT OF
THE NEW GLOVES
More than your passing attention is asked for our beautiful display, which represents the
best makes of gloves produced by foreign and domestic glovers.
Gloves are too important a detail of the toilet to be bought thoughtlessly. Do not think if
you have matched your costume perfectly that you have necessarily made a good purchase of
gloves, unless you are also assured of quality. The kid should be fine and delicate enough
to adjust itself to the hand closely as the skin itself. Yet'it must be a kid that bears the strain
of wear. But no matter how beautiful the kid, or how high the price you pay if the glove is
not perfectly shaped you might as well have the cheapest, coarsest glove ever made, so far as
fit is concerned.
Perfectly fitted gloves characterize the woman of good taste always and something more,
fit has too much to do with wear to be neglected.
Consideration of these essential points lead us to select out of all the Glove lines in the world,
the makes we offer for your judgment. Gloves as nearly faultless as they can be made, in
point of quality, and shapliness. In colorings, choosing is very easy, as all the shades harmonize
beautifully with those of the new wool and silk fabrics. Among them the late shades, Bronze
Plum, Raspberry, Alice Blue, Admiral Blue and Ruby.
Our Glove Certificates offer an easy way out of the difficulties about sizes and colors
that beset those who wish to make presents of Gloves. Remember this when choosing gifts.
Fainosa Our dependable two-clasp overseam

A Real Sensation:
63c For Fine Rid &ves
- Values up to $2.00 a Pair
That's a startling statement. Here's the reason; We bought a big lot of fine Gloves, in the very best makes,
which had been damaged in trifling ways in the making, and mended with such skill that many of the mended places
defy detection. Far as wear and appearance are concerned these Gloves are just as good as if you paid full price,
but of course cannot be sold for the same as perfect Gloves. We took the lot at the lowest price we ever paid for
such wonderful values, and are going to have a sensational sale tomorrow. Think of buying

Stewart had on his football clothes,
and played with the scrubs. The var
sity made three touchdowns on the
scrubs in about 20 minutes of play.
Dadisman thinks that Washburn
has a very strong team, and iwll play
better football than last year. He in
sists, however, that the State Normal
team is one of the most formidable
aggregations which Washburn will
have to tackle this year.
Owing to the big crowds which are
now coming out every night to watch
the Washburn team practice, it has
been decided by the management to
keep all spectators off the field. They
have been interfering with the work of
the team. A guard will be stationed
at the field gate. Spectators will be
allowed to occupy seats in the grand
stand snd bleachers, but they must
keep off the gridiron.

Carr W. Taylor, attorney for the
state board of railroad commissioners,
has written letters to nearly all the
county clerks in the state, asking them
to assist him In getting evidence to
prove his grain rate case against the
railroad companies. He "requests that
all the county clerks send in to him
information on the following points
prior to October 10:
1. The lowest riite ever charged on
grain from the principal stations in his
county to Kansas City.
2. If lower than the rate now in
effect, how long was such lower rate in
effect ?
3. If the rate has been lower, was
there just cause for the increase of the
rate ?
4. How much of a reduction do you
think your county is entitled to re
ceive from present rates? Give rea
sons. 5. Give any other information
which might be useful in the prose
cution of the suit.
Mr. Taylor, in his letter to the coun
ty clerks, sets forth the substance of
the petition which he has filed, and
tells what the present rates are out
side of the state as compared with
Kansas rates.
This plan of asking the assistance of
the public officials of the various towns
and counties of the state is not a new
one with Mr. Taylor. When he was
getting evidence for the coal rate case,
he sent out hundreds of letters asking
information in a similar way to his
grain rate campaign. In response to
these letters he obtained a vast amount
of information of great importance. He
was at work classifying this coal rate
information, when the railroads decid
ed that it was no use to make a fight.
They notified the board of their desire
to put in a new schedule of coal rates.
It is possible that in the readjust
ment of the grain rates the railroads
will come to a similar conclusion. If
they feel that Mr. Taylor is able to
make a good case against them.
Letters are coming in to the board
almost every day congratulating Mr.
Taylor on starting the fight on grain
rates. It seems to be about the most
popular move he has made thus far.
AGAIN AT THE HELM.
Mrs. Hutchinson Re-elected President
of the W. C. T. U.

the delegates Mrs. Elizabeth P. Hutch
inson, of Winfield, was re-elected pres
ident of the Kansas Woman's Christian
Temperance Union at yesterday's af
ternoon session of the convention which
is being held at the First Baptist church.
There was little or no opposition to the
election of Mrs. Hutchinson and when
it was announced as a fact the dele
gates cheered loudly and gave a Chau
tauqua salute. Miss Lillian Mitchner
of Baldwin was elected corresponding
secretary. She has been recording sec
retary. Miss Olive P. Bray, the retiring
treasurer, was elected recording secre
tary and Mrs. Sadie Lewis o Hutchin
son, was chosen as treasurer.
One of the pleasant features of the
