Wichita's Street Carnival on
Fair Nay to Success.

The week Of the Carnival and Fail
Festival TO be given in this city during
October I to 6, begins to look as If It
was going to be the greatest week of
festivity ever inaugurated by the mer-
chants and citizens in the history Of the
city Already the association has sue
ceeded in closing all their contracts for
attractions, advertising matter and other
preliminaries necessary before the build
ing of boths, arches and fences begin.
The big weeks entertainment is planned
upon a much larger scale than the one
held last year, more care has been taken
to investigate the class OF attractions
that have been offered and ii is almost
assured that the Midway aggregation
will be one of the strongest, as well as
one of the cleanest combination shows
that has ever been put together b. any
other city in the west. Secretary Lock
wood has visited most OF the shows in
the past and is perfectly satisfied that
there viii be no Objectionable features to
complain Of.
There seems to be a very good reason
to believe that the industrial exhibition
viii be very much larger this time, owing
TO the many inquiries made for booth
space. The association is anxious to
hear from the firms who will want
booths, as 1t is very essential that this
be known by the building committee, as
it will assist them in arranging with the
lumber firms TO supply the association
with the necessary lumber that will be
used in the building department. The
work Of promoting the industrial exhibit
has been one that a great deal Of time
has been devoted to, this, added to the
many other departments, such as decor
ating, music, advertising, arranging pa
rades, including the big electric pageant
and grangers' parade. has required con-
siderable effort and time to get into
shape. The next proposition that will re-
ceive the attention Of the committee is
the starting of the voting contest for the
carnival queen and flower queen, also the
interest that will be taken in the flower
parade. 1t is the intention this year to
try and get up a flower parade that win
surpass that Of all other cities The
committee is now trying to solve the
problem as to how the most interest
could be created. One suggestion has
been offered that ladies committee be
Lcreated to work in hand with the flower
committee. The parade rightfully be-
/ longs TO the ladies in large measure.
At Joplin the flower parade was the best
ever gotten I'D in this section of the
west. The ladies managed it wholly.

somewhat increased over last year,

A State Auditor Needed.

that the State department would be Il

Why Not Acknowledge Il?

While the Journal has no higher
regard for the opinion Of the Democrat
who is on the fence. than it has
for that of its own political
leaders, who have been in the
thick of the achievement of this adj
ministration in the past three years,
in fact we confess we do not regard it
so highly, nevertheless we acknowledge
an interest in it. And in this connec-
ton we are reminded that in 1896 those
Democrats who voted for Mckinley, or
large number Of them, expressed the
opinion that they We're simply making
choice between two evils. 1t was said
by our political antagonists and for
the most part acquiesced in by those ot
other political faith, who went so far
az to vote for him. that William Nc
kinley was not a strong man viewed
from the presidential standards. We
notice that Independently inclined

Boutwell, that the President is guilty

which he has led into all sorts
Of wrong. Now both views cannot be
correct even il some strong minded
individual endeavors to encompass
them under one hat. Mr.. Mckinley
can't be tool of designing men and at
the same time a Machiavellian leader.
Such views are Numerically opposed.
And as quite a number Of voters in the
country assume to entertain both in
harmony with one conclusion il is re-
freshing to find those who are not
afraid of stutifying their I'M Repub-
lican opinions by acknowledging at
least part Of the truth about the Re-
publican candidate and voting for him
when the time comes. Such an one,

1t goes without the saying that the
Journal never entertained Mr.. Moors'
original opinion Of Mr.. Mckinley; that
ii does not now believe there is any such
thing as imperialism desired by any
Republican leader. but we can't avoid
the conclusion that the really fair

good sense must acknowledge that

true. His appointments have generally
Bryan organs have been unable to crit

notorious fact, that in justice to all
concerned must not now be overlooked.
Indeed if we know anything of the
ideals which the regular Democratic
party was wont to hold up in the past
mind, we will not discuss the applica-
ton of those ideals in Democratic
practise-but so far as ideals go Presi-

Confidence In the Administration.


The outcome OF the Chinese problem
no person can foretell. The possible
ties for complications are MANY. The
situation in many aspects is grave
one for the world at large to consider.
But throughout our own country there
! is nothing approaching serious apprc-
hension, although it is generally rec
ognized that our governments duty
will not be fulfilled until we have Sc
cured safety for those of our mission
aries as may have survived the out
| break, until We have assisted in once
more establishing order and have ex-
acted such indemnity as we are entitled
10, until we have done all that coul1
reasonably be expected of us towards
maintaining the integrity of the Chin
csc empire. Assuredly no light task
But as we have said, our people are not
fearful. though naturally lndulging in
conjecture.
Would this be so were Mr.. Bryan
and Bryanite Congress about to as
sumo the administration of our for
eign policy? No. Nor in this is there
any implication that the newcomers to
power would not try to do what they
thought best. But they have pro-
deem it best for us to give up the Phil
ippines to any fate that may await
them, to desert the responsibilities we
wrested from Spain because she did
not fulfil them. What right has the
country to suppose, that. following the
same idea. they would not turn their
backs on duties in China and beat an
undignitied, contemplate retreat from
the commanding position we now hold
ton that constructed and maintained
a foreign policy which has compelled
admiration from the whole civilized
world by reason of its ability, its effec-
tiveness and its justice?
Under the conditions existing it could
not reasonably have been expect
ed that we should at the beginning
outline and adhere to policy
the success of which would COM
pei other nations much more ex-
perienced in oriental diplomacy to
initiate. Yet that is just what has been
done. From the first we have resolute-
~ adhered to a line Of action that was
at first ridiculed abroad but which is
now acknowledged to have been the
only right one.
No wonder this country. irrespective
Of partisan prejudice, has faith in
course that has been 50 strikingIy dem
onstrated to be a success. All Of which
is but another way of saying that this
country has confidence in the admin
istration, as it could not have in the
one with which some thousands of
voters propose to replace it.
