Upon the great vital questions the people are in thorough accord with the progressive leaders. Their voice upon that matter was as audible at the meeting Monday night -as will be in its expression at the polls next Tuesday. Time and. Chance An Advertisement by Elbert Hubbard ORN into life without our permission, rid being sent out of it aga nst our will, Time is our one brief possession. Three thousand years ago Hcclesiates wrote: 4 WHOSE STATE IS THIS? WUl the Corporate Interests Ram Kan-Ma or Will the People? William Allen White in Emporia Gazette: Who owns Kansas? Whose government will our state government be during the coming two years? Will the big corporate interests run Kansas and dole out Just enough prosperity to keep down revolt? Or will the people of Kansas run this state for themselves and make and administer such laws as make for the common welfare of rich and poor alike? That is the only question at issue self-government or Wall street government.

Back of Wagstaff stand the allied forces of greed in Kansas the machine politicians and their henchmen, the attorneys for the great corporations that dabble in politics for business reasons railroad lawyers, brewers' attorneys, trust lawyers and legislative lobbyists. They are on the surface. Back of them are the real prizes of this campaign the standpat candidates for Congress. For them the great corporations of the East will spend money like water. For these standpat Congressmen from Kansas failed to give the three votes necessary to send the tariff bill back to conference, to have the rubber graft cut out of it, the steel graft cut out of it, the graft cut out of it, the cotton and lumber and woolen graft cut out of it.

Every great trust bleeding the people of Kansas is willing to spend Its good money to send these standpatters back to Congress. For they have proved true to the great Interests, and the great Interests will be true to them. Hence the attempt to buy Kansas from the people. Every big town In Kansas will be the scene of whatever corruption money can bring at the polls. Every saloon loafer now out of a loafing place will be at the polls, every gambler, every man whom $2 will buy and $10 influence will be out.

Today, in every town and in many townships, strikers are going about with nothing to do but spread the standpat doc trine. These men are on the payroll. The are paid to fool you, Mr. Voter, to vote sustain the men who voted to let the great interests plunder you. The sentiment of Kansas is unmistakable.

The only thing that will keep that sentiment from carrying the primary election is the stay-at-home vote. If the real home-loving patriots of Kansas stay at home, the home-destroying agencies of greed and graft the trusts and their political abettors will win this election. If ever there was a time when Kansas needed every man's vote it is at this coming primary. Kansas Is a Republican state, and the primary will decide the fate of the state for the next two years. If the farmer stays at home the town loafer will have a double vote.

If the honest man is busy, the man who has time and money to hire voters and poli "I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race i not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to. the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill, but TIME and CHANCE happeneth to tliPin all." Are we masters of Time! In degree, yes, but the time to secure Life-insurance is when voii can. When life is full of joy, and hope soars high, pntl walking hand in hand, we sing the lovers' lilcuyK "Love like ours can never die," then is the time to insure against the evil days to ccwia.

Time and Chance! extend the one and disarm the other by the aid of. Life-In-uir-ance. Chance comes only to individua-s, hut in Law of Average there is no chance.

Also it insures your peace of mind, and makes you more of a man a better, healthier, happier, stronger, abler and more competent man. Thus is an extension placed upon Time, through the checkmate of Chance. John D.

Rockefeller, says the chances of a boy who begins life as a newsboy are as good today as they ever were. We should, say they are better. More people read the newspapers now than ever before. BRISTOWS UNCONTROVERTIBLE PACTS. Senator Bristow in his great speech this year is giving his Kansas constituents some splendid concrete illustrations of how the Aid rich -Cannon crowd made a tariff law for, the allied trusts of the country, and its sordid violation of the platform upon which Mr.

Taft was elected President. Not the slightest attempt to deny the Bristow charges in connection 'With the making up of the tariff schedules. Speaker Cannon, when asked concerning the charge of Mr. Bristow that the lead schedule was manipulated for the benefit of the Guggenheim interests retorted that "Senator Bristow is trying to break up the Republican party." Bristow's expose of the plot in the lead schedule is illuminating. A high officer of the American Smelting Refining company testified before the ways and means committee of the House that the total cost of smelting lead would run from $5.55 to $10.05 a ton.

The House, absolutely ignoring that testimony, fixed a duty on smelted lead at three times the total cost of smelting it. The Senate raised It to four times the total cost. And Senator Bristow, for insisting that this was a violation of the platform pledge, is told by Mr. Cannon that he is a party wrecker. The American Smelting Refining company is controlled by the Guggen-heims.

It enjoys a virtual monopoly of the smelting industry of the United States. Pretending to desire protection for its American working men against the peon labor of Mexico, it has spent millions in Colorado and other states in hiring soldiery to fight organized labor. Under its orders its 'highly protected American working in Colorado have been torn from their families, loaded on cattle cars and dumped on the desolate plains of west. em Kansas, with a solemn warning never to set foot In Colorado again. When the tariff bill was under de bate in the Senate, Senator Bristow told the squirming Aldrlch crowd that the lead schedule "would make every man who paints his barn pay tribute to the smelter trust." But the duty was fixed as, the trust desired, and now the standpatters assert that "the tariff bill was the best that could be secured under the circumstances." Aviator Harmon says that to Decome a first class aviator one must be absolutely Indifferent to death.

Once in a while there arises a man who is willing to tell the exact truth about his business. RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS. That is a fine endorsement of John T. White and George Plumb, candidates for Railroad Commissioners, which appears in this morning's Capital. When such well known business men as J.

S. George of Hutchinson, John L. Powell, president of the Southwestern Shippers' association. the Johnston Larimer Dry Goods company of Wichita, Henry Baden of Inde pendence, the Iola Wholesale Grocery company, and the Ottawa Wholesale Grocery company, get behind Plumb and White, it means that the voters of Kansas will make no mistake in selecting these two gentlemen for two of the members of the Railroad Board. The shippers and the public, as well as the railroads, will get a square deal.

The swing to I. D. Young in the Sxith district Congressional campaign becomes daily more marked as the campaign draws to a close. It Is almost unanimously the opinion of the closest observers of Sixth district affairs that Young will be nomi nated at primary next Tuesday.

Lafferty, of Colorado Legislature, Formerly of Kansas. If the number of women who attended the chautaqua yesterday afternoon to hear Mrs.

Alma V. Lafferty, of the Colorado legislature, talk on woman's suffrage, is any indication of the interest taken in the subject by Topeka women one might well nigh think that the cause is dead nere. Just about 100 suffragettes, or women in sympathy with the movement, attended the meeting yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Lafferty in her speech defended the women in their plea for participation in the world's work.

"There is nothing demoralizing or degrading In the act of going to the polls on election day ana casting your And why should women not express their views on the great moral, economical and political questions?" Mrs. Lafferty explained that she was a former Kansan and that she belonged to a Kansas club in Colorado, so it seemed familiar to her to address a Kansas audience. The argument that woman's suffrage would be a death blow to domestic life and happiness was completely refuted by Mrs. Lafferty in her talk. The International Concert company gave a musical program before the afternoon address, and at 4:30 o'clock Jessie Mackenzie Walker talked on "Kings "Palaces" at the C.

I. S. C. hour. Sid Lanlon, the happy Swede, in char acter impersonations of "Uncle Sam's Family" pleased a good crowd last night.

Mr. Landon is an artist with the grease paint and false hair: and his impersonations of Herr Schultzer, the German politician, and "Ole Olson" and "Yon Yon-son," the two Swedish characters, made a great hit with the crowd. The two Swede characters are Landon's masterpieces. Besides these characters Mr. Landon presented impersonations of the late Mark Twain, Edgar Allen Poe, Bill Nye, R.

E. Lee and Abraham Lincoln. The entertainment was funny as well as historical. All those who heard Landon last night will always welcome any program he may give in the future. Today's program will be an exceptionally strong one.

In the afternoon the Music Makers' Novelty Male quartette with Marimbaphone will Introduce some of the big musical hits. This quartette will also give a concert in the evening preceding the presentation of the play "Rip Van Winkle." Herbert Sprague and Floy Mahan Sprague will present the dreamy old legend of Rip Van Winkle with realistic scenery and authontive costumes. The following characters will be represented: Rip Van Winkle, everybody's friend; Gretchen, his scolding wife; Meenie, their daughter; Derrick Von Beekman, the burgomaster; Nick Vedder, the village inn-keeper; Katchen, the inn-keeper's daughter. This presentation will no doubt be interesting. VISITORS TO DAILY CAPITAL BUILDING The Daily Capital extends an invitation.

Those who are watching the remarkable results accomplished In the cure of asthma by the new specific, ascatco, find in reports just obtained from cases cured some years ago undisputed evidence that its work is permanent. Miss Mary H.

Sampson, 52 Oak street. Mobile, makes this statement on December 12, 1909, three years after her successful experience with ascatco: "I took the treatment tn the winter, of 1905 and 1906 and have never had the least symptom of asthma since." W. H. Harman, 33 North Eleventh street. Richmond, Va, says: "I took ascato about five years ago, and have never had a return of asthma since.

I had been suffering for five years, and tne doctors couid do nothing for me." Thousands of like experiences have now become known and are so impressive that ascatco Is increasingly demanded by those who are seeking freedom from asthma. Just how ascatco will act in any individual case may be easily determined, as the Austrian Laboratory, S2 West Twenty-fifth street. New York City, will send a trial treatment by mail free of charge to any one who will write to them for it. For the regular treatment: ascatco may be procured at the Rosser Drug Co-, Fred A- Snow's and other leading drug stores In both the 60 cent and sizes. IS Automobile Board Wants Hisa That Next Time It Will Be Per.

maaeatly Revoked. Charges with fast driving and Interference with the traffic, Phillip Blllard, son of Mayor J. B. Blllard, was yesterday hailed before a special meeting of the automobile board, and after a short in vestigation, was deprived of bis license to drive a motor car within the city i limits of Topeka for the period of thirty days and warned that if he was ever before the board again his license would be entirely revoked. Though the primary offense on which young Blllard was convicted was that of colliding with the Moneypenny carriage at the corner of Tenth and Morris avenues Monday night.

It was the general complaint from the people of the city against his driving that resulted in the final action taken by the board members. Every member present yesterday afternoon could remember two or three in-tances in which complaints had been filed with him against the way In which Billard drove his car about the city. When questioned about the incident of Monday night Billard admitted driving as fast as twelve miles an hdhr at the time of the accident. Some of the residents in the neighborhood claimed that the rate was much faster but as the speed limit for turning corners is eight miles, the young man confessed himself guilty of violating the city ordinance regulating automobile traffic. "It Is not your little trouble of last night that counts so.

much," said Geo. W. Crane, president of the board to Billard before the sentence was passed. is your habitual fast driving and the use of that screech owl whistle which sounds like a soul in distress, that makes popular sentiment against you and forces us to use corrective measures." "But there are others in the city who are in the habit of driving fast." said J. B.

Billard, who accompanied his son to the board meeting. "I don't see why my son should be picked out as the one to make an example of." "I know that there are others." said Mr. Crane. "But it Is hard to get evidence that will convict the guilty parties. We simply have to take the person whom we get the evidence on and make an example of his as, a precedent for our successors to follows.

I will give $10 out of my own pocket for convicting evi dence against any person found speeding; and in particular, racing within the clt limits." REV. R. NORRIS ON ANDERSON. To the Editor of The Capital. In the matter of the appointment of Otto Anderson as a deputy sheriff by Sheriff Norton I wish to submit this letter: Mr.

W. R. Eaton, Topeka. Kansas. Dear Sir: I have no desire to butt in to the controversy between Mr.

Ander son and yourself and Mr. Judkins, hut would like to call to your mind that the State Temperance Union had a nice bunch of evidence secured in the Harmony Club that could have been used in prosecuting Mr. Anderson at thi time of his arrest. If you will jog your memory you will perhaps recall what I told you we had in the way of evidence before the arrest was made. This evidence was secured by myself and a prominent minister of Topeka, at that time, and two other citi zens of Topeka.

Mr. Anderson was present on one occasion and gave some instructions to the barkeeper concerning the sale. A number of women and girls were found In the Joint, sitting about the tables drinking beer, and In conversation with tbe male patrons of the place. It appears to me that Mr. Anderson's attempt to pose as a martyr would so establish his insincerity as to cause one to doubt his reformation, and he would no doubt be runn'ng a Joint today if officials would permit him to do so.

Yours very truly. ROBERT NORRIS. Field Secretary. The above statement of Rev. Robert Norrls, secretary of the State Temper ance Union, is true.

He gave me this information before I filed the complaint. In the raid a quantity of liquor was found on the second floor formerly operated as the notorious "Harmony Club," or hetter known as Anderson's place, with which Dr. Page had nothing to do, thus branding both Judkins and Anderson with falsehoods as no arrangement such as they speak of, and concerning which they disagree, could have been made. R. W.

EATON. Ex-Chief of Police. BANKERS ASKED FOR REHEARING OF CASE The mandate of the United States circuit court of appeals In the State Deposit Guaranty case has not yet been received in Topeka and the reason for the delay was learned yesterday. The national bankers who were plaintiffs In the case appealed to the court for a rehearing. While it is not expected that a rehearing will be granted after the kind of a decision that was rendered the application is causing delay in putting the guaranty law into operation.

"There Isn't a chance in a hundred that the court will grant a rehearing," said State Bank Commissioner J. N. Dolley yesterday. "I did not know that such an application had been filed until we received that word from St. Paul.

Had there been application for a rehearing the mandate would have been here by this time and the guaranty law would have been In operation. The court was unanimous in its decision dissolving the Injunction granted by Judge John C. Pollock so I think it very unlikely that a rehearing will be granted. It Is only a matter of time until the law will go into operation, but this application is having the desired effect that of delaying matters." 25 per cent off on all wall paper aU this week. C.

M. Hill, 82 Kansas ave. $500 FOR STATE RIGHTS; THERE WERE NO SALES W. R. Martin failed to find the remunerative position that he had hoped for when he was appointed the general agent for Kansas of the Liberty association and Liberty Manufacturing association.

Mar tin paid down $500 as security when he became the general agent for Kansas, but he alleges In his petition, filed in tbe district court asking damages, that It appears to him that it was the Intent to simply secure his $300. Martin was to sell fire extinguishers in Kansas, but the fire extinguishers wouldn't sell, says he, nor would the company pay him for the office rent or other expenses of upkeep of the general office. He thinks that be ought to secure f730 In the way of damages, $500 for his original deposit. $200 for two months' salary and $50 for office rent.

One of them. Miss Lillian Hawthorne, is depicted, as a tall, statuesque hinndft hPftutv. with her hair fluffed about her ears, the whole surmounted by a cowboy hat. Her gown is, we regret to say, cut scandalously low and she wears a full blown rose pinned at her bosom. Mrs.

Frederick Ginnett, Mrs. Crippen's other friend, is somewhat less spectacular. She wears a close fitting black gown over a white waist, a large picture hat, and carries what appear to be a lorgnette and a bit of shopping over her left arm. Mrs. Glnnett Is a brunette and is not so tall as Miss Hawthorne, but she makes up in breadth what she lacks In height.

We do not understand just what connection Mrs. Crippen's friends have with the detection and apprehension of Dr. Crippen, but they unquestionably have some important bearing on the matter, else they would not be featured by the news papers. Meanwhile a little runt of a man only a trifle more than five feet in height, sandy complected and watery eyed, wearing the wisp of pointed beard that goes with his profession, is eluding the police forces of two continents. It has been pointed out that Dr.

Crippen's luck in escaping apprehension may be due to the fact that he has temporarily donned women's clothing, but we can not con celve of a man with a pointed beard wear lng the garb of femininity and getting away with it for any length of time. In fact, it strikes us as a rather ridiculous sort of clue to follow. While we hold that the pictures of Mrs. Crippen's friends are not exactly germane to the case in hand, we admit they have helped to liven up the dull pages of the newspapers and In that respect have per formed a valuable service. We wish we knew to what theatrical company they belong, but that information has so far been withheld.

A GREAT MEETING. The McNeal political meeting in Topeka Monday night was one of the greatest 'in the history of the town. Although the day was torrm and the evening was one of the most uncomfortable in years, three thousand persons went to the Auditorium and sweltered cheerfully In the humid atmosphere. It was a great body of representative citizens so thorough' ly interested in the problem of good government that they cheerfully suffer ed the most acute personal discomfort for the sake of hearing the truth. And from the time the meeting was called to-order until it closed the house was in air uproar of applause that could be interpreted In but one way.

The McNeal meeting made one point clear. The people are interested Sn this problem of government. Their minds are clear upon the matter of the great not believe that of Mrs. Mabel Gregg, of 211 East Seventh street, has been turned over to the state by. the police.

Newman is now out under bond. He is alleged to have committed the assault in the city park at about o'clock Sunday evening, after having had the permission of the mother of the child to take her walking. Tbe little girl upon coming back ho.ne reported to her mother and the arrest followed. Newman is said to be worth about 130,000 and is a foreman for a contracting firm in the city. He was married but is parted from his wife.

About four months ago he was under arrest charged with an assault upon a small daughter of Dick Hull, a former policeman. MIST DK ABOVE ilSPICIO.

ticians will have a vote put in the ballot box that is worth two votes because the honest man stays at home. The nation's eyes are on Kansas. If Kansas wins this fight for good government, if she proves that she can go out and whip the great forces of organized wealth that are seeking to dominate the politics of the state, men in other states will take courage. If Kansas loses, other states will fail. The man who votes his principles at this August primary in Kansas is voting for scores of other men all over the nation, and the man who stays at home is not' only putting the clamps of the trusts upon himself, his family and his state; he is helping to bind thousands of other men all over Amertca.

The time has come when the fight of the nation must be fought. The Republican party must be a free party. The great interests that dominate Congress must know that they have met a free people. The people must rebuke the men who sold the party out to the trusts. There is no other way to freedom.

Cannon's coming to Kansas proves that he expects to control Congress again, and that he expects the standpat Congressmen to help him control. Cannon and Aldrich and the great moneyed interests are seeking endorsement from Kansas through the standpat Congressmen. Only a big vote of the people on the farms, in the shops and stores and offices will rebuke this conspiracy. Only the united strength of the people will batter down the machine financed by Wall street. For that machine knows that Tf it can whip Kansas into line the nation will not make a big fight.

But if Kansas wins the nation will be in arms. Every man should vote. The battle is inside the Republican party. The progressive wing of that party in this state and nation is pledged to fight for the people. It has been tried.

Every man who can vote should Join the Republican party and vote where he can do his country the most good. The progressives are looking for comrades, not victims. We want help; we want help from every honest man. This is not the time to look into any man's past. Our faces are forward.

If you intend to vote with us, Join us; help us; vote with us. The country needs your vote now and in November. There is no hope in Democracy. The fight for liberty is within the Republican party in Kansas, and every Kansan who desires to hit the system that is dominating Congress, a smash between the eyes he must do it in the Republican party at the Republican primary, now and in November. This is no time to split hairs.

The country needs every honest vote in Kansas. Stubbs needs every honest vote to uphold his hands; Hopkins, the candidate for Lieutenant Governor, who promises the people a senate organized for the people, needs every honest vote in Kansas; Plumb and White who are making the fight for a free Railroad Commission, need every honest vote, and McNeal, Mitchell, Cranston, Jackson, Rees and Young need the honest votes of Kansas to send them to Washington to fight there to free the Republican party from the domination of Cannon and Aldrlch and all that they stand for. Every ballot Is needed. Every man's work to bring in another is needed. If it pays the trusts to hire men to work in Kansas and that is what thev are dolne It will pay the people to work.

The Republican party must be free. It must be a free party wherein free men may serve a free country. WALT PHI SO Ml state fairs in the entire West. This is the statement of C. N.

Cosgrove, who is secretary of the great Minnesota state fair, and who made this statement to C. D. Skinner. Just returned. "Mr.

Cosegrove was enthusiastic about our prospects," said Mr. Skinner. "He stated that If we' carried out our plans along the right lines we could not help but succeed and succeed greatly, because Kansas has so many resources to gather from and the territory immediately adjacent to Topeka is thickly populated and most fertile. He was also well acquainted with Mr. Cook, our secretary, and stated that we could not have secured a better man for the place.

Mr. Cosgrove lives in a fine old colonial mansion right on the fair grounds. He stays there all the year round and had about 75 clerks employed in his offices when I was there. Tbe association has a great $270,000 concrete stadium with stalls on the outside for displays and many other attractive features. The grounds are just about twice the size of ours.
