quail and turkey. He believed St. Ixiuis to be a village in the wilds. The Eastern politician conceives of the West as a wild and wooly place full of populism, radicalism, etc. 'they can not realize that there are thinking human beings, conservative business men and statesmen in the West. An example of the attitude of the East is found in the comic paper “Judge” which is reprinting a number of the cartoons used in 1900 seemingly utterly unable to understand that conditions have changed, and that the lies and exaggerations of 1900 do not apply in 1908. For instance they are picturing the full dinner pails when there are, even vet, several million of idle men in the country and short work and high prices have made the remaining dinner pails only half full. The time is coming, is not far distant, when the West must assert itself, regardless of politics, and dictate to the East. Already a move is on foot among western bankers to make Chicago the clearing house city of the West instead of New York which now performs that function for the country. In the mean time let us not give too great heed to Eastern statements as they are likely to be the product of provincialism.

WOMEN AT THE FAIR State Exposition Will Be Overflowing Wilh Features For Then.

WHAT THE DEPARTMENTS OFFER

JOHN W. KERN

There are few Democrats today who do not stand more erect with pride of state when they contemplate the second name upon the national Democratic ticket—John W. Kern of Indiana. The news of his nomination was not expected by most Indiana Democrats, not because they believed he was unfitted for the place, but because it was thought the nomination would go to some man In the East. Now that he has been chosen ai’d by acclamation, there is general satisfaction with the result. Mr. Kern is a fit companion for Mr. Bryan. He has for many years been the bulwark of Indiana Democracy. Like Mr. Bryan he has had the strength of character and the sheer ability to rise from defeat stronger than before. This is no small thing. Little | men, once defeated are forever lost It requires personality of an unusual kind to rise from defeat holding the , reapect and esteem of political friends and foes. This Mr. Bryan has done to a degree hitherto unequaed | in political history. Even the Republicans acknowledge that he is stronger in the hearts and minds of the people than ever before. This also Mr. Kern has done. That he led the Democratic forces of Indiana, as candidate for governor, against adds too great to be over come, and failed to over come them Is no reflection on the ability of the man. It reveals neither lack of generalship, personality, or fitness. It does reveal adherence to the Democratic party, adherence to Democratic principle, undoubted courage. The Democrats of Indiana will re member those things, remember Mr. Kern's ability in Indiana, and will this fall give him a vote that will help strongly toward placing him in a position in the Senate, where he can watch the interests of the people and curb the greed and graft of such as Aldrich and Foraker.

Law and decency yesterday received aid and support that rejoiced all good citiiens, in the justice administered by Judge Rawley in the case of Josephine Earnest, charged with contributing to delinquency of young girls. There are judges who would have hold, as some in the court room felt, that the crime was not a serious one, nor quite proven. But Judge Rawley fortunately for society, was not of that opinion. As he stated in pronouncing sentence, his only regret was that the punishment could not be heavier and that the parties for whom she performed the detestable work could not be brought before him. In delivering sentence Judge Rawley said some things that will be long remembered by those who heard. A more scathing denunciation of this woman and her trade, and IncidentHay of those who looked lightly upon it, has not been heard In our court room. Law, decency and good citizenship render thanks to Judge Rawley for the justice administered, but more for the stinging rebuke to all doers of evil contained in the short but memorable speech at the time of

passing sentence. «9*

The Indianapolis News in declaring that the opposition of the East to Bryan reveals an ignorance and provincialism that is astonishing, has stated no more than the truth. The political attitude of the East is comparable to the attitude of the Harvard professor who came to the St. fjouta World’s fair and brought his gun, expecting to walk out In the surburbs each evening and shoot

The nomination of William Jennings Bryan for the presidency of the United States is a triumph for the people, the rank and file of the Democratic party. Seldom, perhaps never, in the history of political conventions has a man received so nearly a unanimous vote as did Mr. Bryan last night. Even in those states in which there was, at first, some opposition to the nomination of this man on the part of the leadvrs, the people were for him. The people, the laboring people, of New York are for him, and in spite of the Gpresentations, the people of Pennsylvania are for him. The convention which nominated him was proud of its work. Seldom has such enthusiasm been witnessed, seldom such entire harmony. The few discordant notes from Guffey and his kind were lost in the long and continous roar of approval that swept over the convention from its first meeting to its last. It was not manufactured enthusiasm, but natural and pontaneous, a tribute to the character of the man nominated and to the belief in his honesty of purpose. This nomination all Democrat will ratify -ratify now with shoutings and apolaus, ratify throughout the cam■'aign this fall with earnest labor for his success, and next November, ir inal ratification, we shall cast, each Democrat, each lover of the square deal, an unstained unbought ballot or his election.

On the Guffey situation at Denver the Indianapolis Star, (Rep.) says, "There were two reasons why he was dethroned by the Democrats at Denver. First, the Democrats knew him to be an agent of Standard Oil. Second, they believed him to be a man who would stoop to any means to carry his point”. This sums up well ! he Democratic attitude in this cam>aign. The Democrats are fighting >r a principle, and not even the d ^ ire to win will force them to com ] i iromise with men who stand fo binns against which the Democrat! | arty has arrayed itself—agains raft, monopoly and extortion.

Many General Shows Will Interest the Women — Displays of Kitchen Products— Butter-Making Will Be Taught by Purdue Experts—The Bi£ Art Departments. With the Indiana State Fair overflowing with features for them, the women of the state, who by tens of thousands see the exposition every year, will find the coming fair of uncommon interest to them, and they will also find in it a rich source of information. The races, the horse and cattle shows, the band concerts, the big night shows which will be held in the livestock pavilion, the poultry aud flower shows—all of these attractions at the Fair are of as much interest to the women as to the men. Put in some of the buildings there are exhibits which appeal especially to womeij. The show of fruit in Horticultural hall is promising for the State Fair, which opens at Indianapolis on September 7. In this department the premiums amount to about |700. The prizes for flowers and plants, with special exhibits on different days, amount to $830. For bees and honey (he prizes offered amount to $2."0. Over $200 will be divided among the exhibitors of the best table luxuries, and many women of Indiana will compete for the ribbons with displays of breads, cakes, jellies and jams. The list of contests in which amateurs may compete is a long one, and there is another class for the professional cooks. In the art department the big building will, as it is every year, be overflowing with displays of knitted and crochet work, handmade lace and embroidery, sewing, fancy work, photograplis, decorative art work by both professionals and amateurs, and an elaborate display of decorated china will be made. The Fair's poultry show grows larger year by year, and for the coming exposition the prizes amount to $2,500. Hundreds of chickens from the best flocks of Indiana will be shown, and there will be competitors from other

states.

In the dairy and creamery department the expert butter makers from Purdue University will again make an extensive exhibit and give lectures on butter making that year after year prove of inestimable value to the women from the Indiana farms. The dairy cattle shown at the Fair are always of particular interest to the women of the farms, who, through their visits to the exposition and by the rich fund of information gathered there, have done much to improve the quality of the herds and dairy products of this State. The prizes offered for dairy cattle at the coming Fair amount to $3,400, and some famous herds will be represented in the contests for ribbons.

REASONS FOR VICTORY. When it comes right down to cold figures, the managers of the Republican party realize that the Democrats do not have such an awfully hard task on their hands to swing Indiana back into the Democratic column this fall. Two years ago the head of the Republican ticket was elected by a plurality of 30,825. There are 3,830 voting precincts in Indiana and it would take a net gain turn the trick for the Democrats, of only 4 1-2 votes to the precict to Of course the election of two years ago was only a state election and the full vote of neither party was registered. It is estimated that fully 40,000 Democrats in Indiana did not take part in the election two years ago. This year It is generally admitted even by Republican politicians, that these Democrats are alive to their opportunity and as the ticket and platform are such as to appeal strongly for their support It gose without saying that the party will present a stronger battle front in Indiana this year than it has at any time since the election of 1902. The Democrats of Indiana are able

to give specific reasons for the faith that is In them, lain speaking compels the admission that their hope is soundly based. Tehere is one phase of the political situation in Indiana tnat rs not being mentioned in public but at the same time it it probaoly the cause of more real worry on the part of the Republican managers than any other one thing. It is conservatively estimated that as ta result of the demoralized business con ditions that have existed for the past ten months that fully 25,000 Slavs, Hungarians and Poles have left Indiana for their former homes in Europe. Practically all of them voted the Republican ticket tw° years ago, either through ignorance or coercion of the use of money. This year this immense vote will he available for Republican use; the corporation fund will not get them. Take 25,000 votes from the Republican party, while the Democrats are adding to thel r"llttle” and the result will come near Justifying the hope that cheers the Indiana Democracy at this time.—Bloomington World.
