FARMERS’ MONTH AT WORLD’S FAIR

Biggest Department o! the Great Expos!* Hon Ready For the Inspection of the Army of Men Who Made Its Creation Possible. Now that crops have been or are beIn* laid by, the farmer prepares for hla trip to the World’s Fair, a treat that has long been promised him and for which he has patiently waited. No exposition has offered so many Inducements for the farmer's presence as this one at St. Louis, nor has any previous exposition given the prominence and space to the subject of agriculture. August and September are ostensibly the farmer's months at the Exposition, for it Is at this season that the agriculture exhibits are the freshest and best Products of the new crops are pouring Into the booths from every state In the Union, and additions are constantly being made to the gorgeous display. Headquarters for visiting farmers may be found in every state section of the great Agriculture Palace, but for their special convenience there has Just been completed a Grange House, situated in the south end of the building. It is equipped with a reception room, ladles’ retiring rooms and check rooms, where parcels may be left free of charge. Here will be kept a list of moderate priced rooms to aid visiting farmers and their families In procuring accommodations. The iurgest building on the grounds la the Palace of Agriculture, covering twenty acres, while the Palace of Horticulture near by covers about a third as much space. These two immense structures are tilled with exhibits of the farm, garden and orchard of the moat extensive and elaborate character, every state In the Union and most of the principal countries of the world being represented. Agriculture is given more prominence than any other department at the Exposition, the paramount Importance of this great industry having been fully appreciated from the very beginning of the World’s Fair movement. About seventy acres of ground are covered by the agriculture and horticulture department at the Fair, large outdoor spaces being devoted to this industry. Outside there are growing crops, tret-s and flowers, an Instructive aix acre farm maintained by the United States Government Plant Industry, and gardens in all parts of the grounds. There are more exhibits in the Agriculture building than in any other section of the Exposition. This building Is considered by many people the most interesting part of the World’s Fair. The exhibits in the palaces of Agriculture and Horticulture constitute a display vast enough and instructive

enough to occupy the attention of visitors for many days. Nothing to compare with them was ever attempted before. They are the climax of several decades of educational work which is placing farming on a high plane and is making scientific agriculture a pleasing reality. The conspicuous role played by agriculture at the World’s Fair should bring untold benefits and wealth to the farming community of the world and impress all farmers with the Importance and dignity of their calling. Passing through these colossal buildings, studying the attractive exhibits and fascinated with the bewildering encyclopedia of rural life which Is spread out before his eyes, the World ’ Fair visitor Is impressed with the important part the farmer plays in the great world of industry, and every farmer who views these interesting exhibits is given a new pride in his vocation If filled with inspiration and impressed w-ith new ideas in harmony with the progressive strides that farming has been making for the past few years. The visit will give an insight Into up to date farming on the most approved plan and will bring new hopes and blessings to the farm. How properly to rotate crops, how to get the best results from fertilizing and irrigation, how to protect crops and fruit from the ravages of Insects-all these and many more things of vital interest to farmers and fruit growers are taught at the World’s Fair.

REPRESENTATIVE MEN ON THE WORLD'S FAIR

What Distinguished Statesmen and Others Bey of the Educational and Inspiring Exposition at 81 Louis. The public utterances of distinguished men who have visited the world’s fair have but one note, and that of emphatic praise. Here are some of their comments: Hon. John Hay, secretary of state: *T have never seen nor heard of anything so fine.” Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, secretary of the treasury: "Any father of a bright boy can afford to aend him to the Fair simply to study any one of at least a thousand exhibits.” Hon. Charles H. Grosvenor of Ohio: "A visit of ten days by a man Of ordinary aptness and appreciative capacity to the Fair 1s almost equal to a postgraduate course In a university.” Hon. Benjamin B. Odell, governor of New York: "St. Louis has been badly misrepresented by accounts which say that her weather is unbearable. The Fair is wonderful.” Hon. George C. Pardee, governor of California: “The governor of the Golden State, who has spent all his life within her borders, finds that he knew only a little about his state until he came to the Fair and saw all varied products assembled together." Hon. Albert B. Cummins, governor of Iowa: "The Louisiana Purchase Exposition is on the grandest scale of any exposition the world has ever seen." Hon. Richard Yates, governor of Illinois: "The more I see of the Exposition the more I enjoy it.” Hon. Fennlmore Chatterton, governor of Wyoming: "I wish the Fair the greatest success. It certainly deserves It.” Hon. Franklin Murphy, governor of New Jersey: "It is well worth coming from New Jersey to see even a small part of this Fair.” Hon. A. B. White, governor of West Virginia: "I cannot speak too strongly of the greatness of this Fair." Hon. William J. Bryan: "The Exposition is an unparalleled wonder.” Hon. John Sharp Williams, member of congress from Mississippi: “The most wonderful thing of its kind.” Hon. Hoke Smith of Georgia, formerly secretary of interior under President Cleveland: "I am highly pleased with the Exposition and believe it to be one of the triumphs of modern civilization.” Hon. Perry Belmont of New York: "In magnitude and beauty the Fair is wonderful. It is worth coming a long distance to see.” Hon. Daniel J. Campau, chairman of the Michigan delegation to the Democratic national convention at St. Louis: “It le positively sinful for parents to fall to bring their children to see the Fair.” M. Paul Dupuy, editor of Le Petit Parlsien of Paris, France: “I admire the Exposition for its immensity, its spirit of the sublime, its general beauty and its completeness.” Prince George of Bavaria: “I have never seen anything prettier than the St. Louis World's Fair buildings when outlined at night with their millions of electric lights." Hon. Louis E. McComas of Maryland: “The greatest Fair in the world.” Hon. John F. Dryden of New Jersey: "The people have no Idea of the greatness of the Exposition. Every American should see it.” T. P. Shants, president of the Clover Leaf route of Chicago: "The Fair is a big success and will continue to become a greater success as it progresses.”

A HERO’S INDICTMENT

Captain Richmond P. Hobson, the hero of Santiago harbor, will make a number of speeches in Indiana this fall. He is outspoken in his condemnation of the attempt of the Republicans to appeal to race prejudice and attributes the recent unhappy conditions in the South directly to the action of the president. After referring to the lynching of two negroes in Georgia, Captain Hobson continued: “We must, however, calmly recognize the fact that this wave of lawlessness in Georgia and in other states has followed upon the heels of the recent action of the president in farcing the race question upon the Chicago convention and the Republican platform. In fact, the whole unhappy situation in the South that has grown worse and worse with the course of the Roosevelt administration, is due to the flagrant violation of fundamental laws of nature, whether intentional or unintentional on the part of the president. “The accepted Interpretation of Mr. Roosevelt’s position on the race question means negro political domination where negroes are in the majority, or a return to the unhappy conditions of the reconstruction era, and means the mingling of the races in blood relations. By the laws of nature where two races differing in sociological status are found together in a political organism it is the higher and not the lower that should be Intrusted with the grave questions of governing, and it is suicidal for the higher race to intermarry with the lower.”

ROOSEVELT AND THE QUAKER.

In his life of Thomas H. Benton, page 37, Theodore Roosevelt thus expresses his opinion of that quiet, peace-loving people, the Friends, who have done so much In every community in which they reside to foster sentiments of brotherly love: “A class of professional non-com-batants is as hurtful to the real healthy growth of a nation as Is a class o f fire-eaters, for a weakness or folly is ' •'turally as bad as a vice or worse, and in the long run a Quaker may be quite so a citizen as a duellist I-.'.* mao who Is not willing to bear arms a i to fight for his rights can give a gooo i -ason why he should be entitled to the privilege of living in a free community." ■ ■ ■ Statistics designed to show that wages have kept pace with prices and fer this reason the coat of living is net relatively greater than it was ten years ago may satisfy tbs theorist bet the consumer knows that the statement is false. A. te* per cent increase in wages here aid there does not balance a twenty per cent Increase In the cost of living throughout the country.

IDEAL IMPERIALISM.

In hla open letter to President Roosevelt, Joseph Pulitzer, owner and editor of the New York World, thus depicts the imperialistic policy which the president would saddle upon the country: "To see Imperialism full blown ons must go to England. At home English Institutions are free. The cabinet is a committee of parliament. The king has not a thousandth part of your power and patronage. He could not jump a doctor, even a very skillful and agreeable one, not even Treves, who saved his life —into a major generalship, or even a lieutenancy. He cannot appoint a fourth-class postmaster. He has none of the enormous powers over corporations which enables you, first, to make an inquisition into the secrets of every combination of capital; second, to smash one such combination as an example, and, third, to send that grand inquisitor Cortelyou, who was your own private secretary and later cabinet member for commerce and corporations, armed with all his deadly secrets, to pass the contribution box among the others. "But the United Kingdom, with 43,000,000 inhabitants, rules over 330,000,000 people in non-self-governing crown colonies and dependencies. The welfare of one-quarter of the population of the globe Is absolutely at the mercy of the governing classes of Great Britain. Three hundred million people in India, under the compulsion of 250,000 soldiers, live and work to furnish official berths to English younger sons and profit for English capitalists.’’

ORGANIZE.

One of the most Important duties in connection with a campaign is that of thorough and efficient organization. Speakers may awaken enthusiasm, devotion to principles may inspire desire for success and wrongs, long Borne by a people, may incite distrust of and resentment against the party In power, but these things all go for naught in a campaign unless they find expression in a compact organization which is designed to bring out the entire vote of the party on election day. Such a work cannot be begun too early or be prosecuted with too much vigor. The expectation that every man will come out and vote is often disappointing, and nothing is more common than for party managers to find the vote falling off on election day and be wholly unable to account for the slump. The effective remedy against such a condition is organization —an organization that will impress upon every Democrat the fact that his vote is necessary to success. The best way to do this is to hold precinct meetings from time to time, encourage the voters to attend them and allot to each some particular part in the work of the campaign. Votes are made among the thinking, discriminating class, not on election day, but during the earlier stages of the campaign, and it is in heart-to-heart talks, such a 3 would come from neighborhood meetings, that Democrats could be most sensibly impressed with the necessity for each to bear some part In the work of the campaign. The State Central Committee expects to supply speakers for all localities and there will be a liberal distribution of literature bearing upon the issues, but outside of these and more effective than these, will be the organizations which can be perfected in precincts or neighborhoods if active Democrats will take hold of the work. Let the effort be made now in every precinct in this county. The party is united, the Republicans are on the defensive, and organization—systematic, earnest, effective —is only wanting to assure sucaess.

Roosevelt and the Farmer.

President Roosevelt once lived In the West and he afterward conceived the idea of glorifying the cowboy and bronco-buster in a book. That was a thing about which no one need concern himself, for it was merely a matter of taste, but when the writer took occasion to make invidious comparisons between his heroes and the quiet, sober and industrious farmer and workingman, he presented an entirely different question. Here is the way he pictured the bronco-busters and farmers, mechanics and workingmen In his “Ranch Life and Hunting Trail,” pages 9 and 10: “They are much better fellows and pleasanter companions than small farmers or agricultural laborers; nor are the mechanics and workmen of a great city to be mentioned in the same breath.” 1The great newspapers of the country are flocking to the support of Judge Parker and there is little doubt but the independent press of the country will be largely for him before the campaign closes. Among the influential newspapers which supported McKinley but are now for Parker, are the Washington Poet, the Baltimore Herald, the New Yortc Herald, the New York Times, the New York Staals-Zel-tung, the New York World, the Brooklyn Eagle and many other equally Influential publications.

WHAT OTHERS SAY OF GOLLMAR BROS. CIRCUS.

Gollmar Bros.’ Circus put up a splendid performance here yester. day afternoon. It’s a mighty big affair with three rings and stage and is run on good business principles without a fake of any kind. The menagerie contains fine specimens and is well worth the prico of admission. —The News Ledger, Litchfield, Minn. Gollmar Bros, are good. The Great Gollmar Bros.’ circus favored Belleaue with a visit Tuesday and brought us the largest crowd seen here for years. It was a well satisfied crowd, too, as the big three ring show did just what was advertised on the bills. The menagerie, too, was strictly fine. The three rings and stage were kept going all through the performance by first class riders, aernautists, acrobats, jugglers wire walkers and contortionists. In fact they give too much for the money. We desire to especially commend the gentlemanly management. They are all men who do business “on the square” and are sore to grow and prosper. —Belleane Times. Gollmar Bros. Shows will exhibit in Rensselaer, Mondsy, Sept. 5.
