The grand jury Tuesday afternoon
indicted Baldwin Springer, Robert
Adair and William +. Smaley, Jr.,
attorneys, for failure to pay the license
fee of $40 The cases are to 60 over
until the next term of court. Under
the law a fine is imposed for failure to
pay this license. The unusual fact of
lawyers being indicted has excited
much interest among members OF the
bar Should the cases so to trial they
may serve to settle the question whether
or not attorneys should be required TO
pay a license fee. In speaking of the
matter Mr.. Adair said he had not paid
license fee. but had good and suf
ficisnt reasons for not doing SO. 1t is
reported that other attorneys also have

congratulated the farmers of this
country upon the return of prosperity
and the increased demand from Europe
for Our wheat, corn and cotton. He
spoke a good word for Venezuela, re-
ferring to her wealth Of forests and
fertile valleys. Dr. Sateldo referred
to what he termed the attempt Of
Great Britain to absorb Venezuela, and
brought forth an enthusiastic burst of
applause by saying that the people
of his country thoroughly appreciated
the attitude of this country, and should
always remember with gratitude the
declaration that this government
would not tolerate European interfer-
ence with the governments of this
hemisphere.
The speaker also spoke in a highly
complimentary manner of the bureau
of American republics, which had done
great work in conveying information
to the people Of each country concern
ing the needs and resources of the
other and in building up a reciprocal
trade. He also referred in a compli-
mentary manner to the strong stand
taken by the present administration
in favor of building up a stronger al
lance between the American repub-
lies.
DR.. Sateldo entertains a pet project
for the establishment of colony of
American farmers in Venezuela and
said he hoped soon to see his project
success. He was tenderer rising

reason than the fact that the farm pro-
duces most of our prominent men.
Eighteen of the twenty-four presidents
came from the farm. Sixty per cent OF
our national congressman were born on
the farm. True, the farmer is often
made sport of in the public press-and
even in the agricultural press-and
even we farmers, for I am one OF you,
laugh at these cariCatures of ourselves,
but observe the respect the farmers
committees command when they go 10
Washington; the senators and congress
men know and respect their worth. 1t
is the duty of the agricultural press to
battle for the dignity, of the farmer and
to show the world that brains count
there as well as elsewhere.
There are six institutions which
should have the support of the farmer
as we'll as the press; they are: The
National Department of Agriculture,
the National Committees on Agricul-
ture, the State Agricultural Societies,
the State Agricultural Experimental
Stations the State Agricultural Col
leges and the Farmers institutes. These
are all working towards a broader and
higher education, the elevation OF the
farmer. The press should aid IN the
dissemination of knowledge concernlnS
these institutions and educate the
farmers to an understanding OF their
merits; it is this which will help to fit

can do much more. good, however, in
three ways: By advocating more siren

that originates, owns and regulates the
farm; by adding greater dignity to the
life and labors, both public and private
of the agriculturalist; by giving to pub
lie agricultural institutions and the
men who fill them, their proper share
of credit and support.
''The farm papers have done much to
make the home happier, bright and
cheerful. There is a partnership on the
farm, between the husband and the
wife, and it is to the latter that credit
should be given in equal measure for
the success IF the farm, and it is to her
credit that the home@i is made happier
1t is not true that women are inclined
to be extravagant; it is the reverse.

SUCCESSFUL STATE FAIRS.
E. w. Randall Tells How They Are
Managed.

Managed.
E. w. Randall, secretary of the Min
nesota State Fair, read a paper on
THE State Fair, Causes of Success or
Failure" Among other important
elements, he outlined the following:
For state fair there should be state man
agement. Private enterprise is insufficient.
Public spirited citizens will not make sacri-
fees of time and money, nor will newspapers
lend their unstinted aid, if after success is
achieved, there are stockholders to be bene-
fitted by division of profits
The management must be characterized by
intelligence, frankness and integrity. Men
paced in charge must not only know the
needs purposes and objects of the institution
placed under their care, but the people of the
state, who own it and in whose interest it
should be managed, must be taken into their
confidence.
Not only must the managers of fair be
competent and honest, but they must be in
dustr1ous. Each member Of the managing
board should be in charge of a department,
one in which he is interested and one for the
management of which he should be held re-
sponsibe. He should give personal attention
to all the details of his department. and be
willing to give the necessary time thought
and labor to make it successful.
Careful attention should be paid to exhib-
ftors. Premiums as large as is consistent
with the probable ability of the fair to pay
should be offered; reduced transportation rates
should be secured; convenient facilities for
loaolng and unloading from cars should be
arranged; safe and suitable places for exhibits
and comfortable quarters for live stock
and attendants should be provided.
strong amusement feature is another nee
essary adjunct to a successful fair While
the exhibition features, and especially those
in which the agricultural portions of the state
are most interested, should receive first and
principal attention legitimate and interesting
amusements must be provided. Recreation is
as necessary for the welfare ola people as
work, observation and study Racing ath-
letic sports and special and unusual attrac-
tions have proper and an important pace
All degrading or demoralizing influences
should be vigorously excluded
All intoxicants should be prohibited and pool
selling, betting and all gambling devices
should be strictly barred. State fair managers
cannot shock the moral sensibilities of the
people and still succeed

Timothy Desmond will not be releas-

an order to that effect had been issued
by Judge Holt. A letter written by the
prisoner to an aunt came into the
hands of the authorities and indicated
that the prisoner intended to make use
of his liberty by DESERVING his wife and
abducting his two children, and on the
strength of it Desmond will stay In Jail
Desmond was arrested in June charg-
ed with selling liquor at the circus
grounds. Notwithstanding his solemn

The wife and two children were left
practically destitute, and, although the
mother tried hard to support them,
they were at times forced to depend
upon charity for food and clothing. The
poor women determined to make one
last effort for her husband. She got
her friends to sign petition asking
for his release and circulated 1t freely
She also informed the mayor and Judge
Holt that work had been secured FOR
Desmond, and that if he were releas-

family Iegitimately; otherwise, without
his assistance, they would starVe
