THE FAIR.
Saturday the Finish. Lively Scenes
at the Track.

Saturday was the last day of the
Washington County Fair The at
tendance was about the same as on
Friday. While the receipts and ex-
penses have not been fully made up, it
is conceded by the management that
the Fair this year was not financial
success.
President Flanders informed a Lead
er man last evening that the above
fact was largely due to holding the
+ air over to Saturday. He said this
was done owing to tae fact that a day
was lost through the incl5mency of the
wtather Wednesday, and was in order
to carry out the full speed program,
thereby giving the horsemen fair treat
ment
The principal attraction at yester-
days Fair was at the track but there
were some features outside the races
that had not been brought to light be-
fore 1t is said that in one of the tents
the 'Couchee" was running full blast
yesterday afternoon, to the great de-
light of some and the disgust of others.
1t was the last day of the Fair, though,
and the tent people did not care if they
did lose their privilege. The brutal
"bull dog and bear" performance CON
tinued during the Fair.
At the track there were some special
features and there was considerable
actiy-ty in the booking business during
the afternoon.
Following is the result of the races
of the last day;

(" "PIease Smile

When woman says "I am racked
with pain, the word tracked" recalls
the days when they stretched the tender
bodies of women on the rack with rope
and pulley until the very joints cracked.
Fancy an attendant saying to the tor
tured woman, "Please smile and look
pleasant"
And yet the woman tracked with
pain, is expected to smile through her
agony and to make home happy She
can't do it. 1t is against nature. Cen
orally speaking, the racking pains of ill
health such as headache, backache and
"bearing down pains " are related to de-
rangements or disorders of the organs
distinctly feminine. When this condition
is removed the general health is restored,
and with health comes back the smile
of happiness.

Continuance of High Temperature

CHICAGO, Sept. S.--Chicago suffered
yesterday more from the heat than on

the heat was apparently more intense. In

The Trust Conference.
Erom the Now Nnrl, World


1t would be difficult to exaggerate the impor.
tance 10 the country Of the conference in rela-
ton to trusts which is TO be held in Chicago
under the auspices of the Civic Federation, be-
ginning on the 18th of this month.
That tendency TO consolidate interests, to com
bine capital in manufacturing and commercial
enterprises to eliminate competition and to con-
troll markets by various devices, which we loose
ly classify the trust system, is the most marked
phenomenon of our time. In part it is unques-
tonably a natural development to meet changed
conditions. In part it is apparently artificial
device TO secure unjust advantage. BY those en-
gagged in such enterprises ii is claimed TO be a
scheme for the cheapening of production and dis
tribuiion, to the popular advantage BY those
opposed it is held TO be conspiracy for enrich
ing the few at the sacrifice of the many for ex-
cluding healthful and natural competition; for
extorting unjust profits; for reducing wages to a
minimum, while pushing prices to maximum
for crowding multitudts of citizens out of their
employments and laying all citizens under unjust
tribute.
1t is of the utmost Importance to find out, ac-
crrately and fully, what the facts, in order
that this tendency may be dealt with wisely and
not ignorantly.

MANS LEGAL RIGHT TO DIE.
An Opinion From Dean Herbert
Smith of Yale.

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-With reference to
the views of Justice Simeon E. Baldwin. Of
the Connecticut supreme court and pro-
fessor in the Yale law school, who is OPP
posed to prolonging the lives of persons
mortally ill, Dean Herbert Smith, of the
Yale medical school. says:
1T is absurd to say that anyone ought
to exercise his own option or judgment In
a case where the patient appears mortally
ill. The doctor OF nurse ought TO do all he
can to care for the patient. | think that II
Judge Baldwin were i'll with pneumonia
and it seemed as If he could not recover.
he would expect the doctor to fight for his
life
But a man has legal right TO die. II
people want to leave let them discharge
their physicians and not throw upon them
the responsibility for the taking OF their
life
Il think that the right ground TO take
is that no individual has the right 10 de-
eide fer another whether he shall live or
die The individual has TO face his own
conscience in committing suicide. You
have to face yours in putting him TO death" :"
DR.. William H. Carmalt, one OF the lead
ing professors of the Yale medical school,
said:
Perhaps Judge Baldwin can do what we
doctors admit that We cannot-tell when a
man is going TO die. What would Judge
Baldwin have US to do in cases where We
think a patient must die-give him drug
and kill him off? How absurd. OF course,
, if it could be absolutely proven that the
patient must die, il would be another mat
Ter, but it is giving doctors altogether toe
much power to compel them by such law
as Judge Baldwin suggests TO make no ef-
fort To prolong life"

CASUALTIES ON THE WATER.
Annual Report of the Steamboat In
s.ection Service

The fatal casualties in connection with
the operations of steamboats, in the United
States was larger during the fiscal year
ended June 80 last than in any year since
1875. In his annual report TO the Secretary
of the Treasury the supervising Inspector
general OF the steamboat inspection service
says that the increase in fatalities to 404
during the last year was due in large meas
ure to the loss OF the steamer Portland near
the mouth of Massachusetts, Bay during the
terrible gale and snGwstorm on the night
of November q, 1898, wherein every soul
on board, 127. perished with the steamer
The supervising inspector general goes into
details regarding the investigation of
charges that the life preserVers, which were
made from California tule, were inadequate
for the purpose for which they were made
The conclusion of the investigation was that
the tule preservers are quite as buoyant as
those made from cork
The AGA lives lost on steam vessels during
the year were due 10 these causes: Fire
13; collisions. 81; explosions or accidental
escape of steam, %; snags, wrecks, and
sinking, 213; acc.6ental drowning, Sc; mis-
cellaneous, 81. The increase in fatalities
over those of the previous year was 123 In
1915 CO.. lives were lost. The report shows
that, despite popular belief to the contrary,
excursion steamers have proved safest, not
a single death occurring from accident
among the thousands of eXcursionists car
ried on steamboats, on the Fourth of July.

The Trust Question.

(FrOm the Cincinnati Enquirer)
The trust question is emnently a prac
tical one The people understand il. They
know when they are paying more for an
article of necessity than they formerly did,
and are quick to ask if there is just or
natural reason for the advance. The farm
ers of the northwestern part OF this State
for example know that they are paying an
enormous advance for the lining of their
driven wells In the rich soil of the coun-
try it is necessary TO drive deep for water.
The farmers are not yet fully supplied.
Many of them have only one well each, for
domestic supply, and are in dire need of
other wells TO supply their stock. The
manufacture of this lining, or tubing, has
gone into a trust, and the price has ad-
yanced 500 per cent or more. Many instan-
ces of this sort could be sighted and will
be during the campaign.
Those who try to dismiss the trust ques-
ton as dangerous will find that the danger
is to them In politics it generally occurs
that the assertion Of broad principle and
an appeal to the popular pocketbook go
hand in hand, and justly so. Government
is not instituted to take care of the people,
but it must not be used to their practical
detriment. The trusts come in for practical
treatment in politics so long as they are
fostered by legislation, and so long as the
price paid is in an ample campaign fund
for use by the bosses in politics.
The Democratic party of Ohio has taken
sides on this matter, and need make no
apology 1t is for the interests Of the farm
ers and the workingmen.

MIR MckfnIr, nnd his n,tv

Although the fact is not ocularly appar-
ent TO the public, a desperate and san
culinary battle is in progress opposite La
fsyette Square, in which the remains Of the
old staff cabal. certain politicians. and the
contractors are arrayed on one side and
the new War Secretary, the Roosevelt in
fiuence, and the army on the other. The
first is assaulting the Presidential citadel
in an effort TO compel Mr.. Mckinley to per
petuate the inefficient and disgraceful
regime of Otis and DENLY in Manila, while
the other is trying to bring the Command
er-in-C Chief to a realization of his unfortu-
nate position before the American people.
and induce him TO turn his back upon the
element responsible for his failure in the
Philippines, to the present time.
The struggle now in progress between
these two forces, in its results, will show
whether the Administration intends TO
prosecute the task OF suppress!ng the Ia
gal insurrection for the benefit of the army
contractors and looters. as il did the war
with Spain, or purposes q sane and honest
policy in the Far East for the future Ad-
ministration organs are again boiding out
the idea that Otis is to be supported and
permitted TO mismanage another cam
paign. We are unwilling To think that
this can be true, and for good reasons
Mr.. Mckinley knows beyond any sort
OF question that Otis is disliked and dis
trusted by the American people, and that
this sentiment is fully shared by the whole
army establishment, the Adjutant Cen
erals Office alone excepted. In view OF
this knowledge, it is inconceivable that
he should insist upon maintaining a noto-
rious failnTe in power and command
against both popular and professional judg-
ment and conceptions of safety and pro-
priety; unless with some ulterior object
in view, of which We are ignorant.
II he should decide TO do so, however.
one of two suspicious will be aroused,
neither tending 10 the glory of the Ad-
ministration. Either it will be assumed
that It is the Presidents wish to prolong
the rebellion so that its suppression shall
only come at season near enough 10 the
election of 1900 to constitute a coup de
theatre for effect on the result; or, il
VIII be feared that Otis and DENLY have en-
