Preparing Exhibits.
IT IT A RARE OPPORTUNITY
Commissioner Elmer E. johnson Tells
What Is Being Done to Advertise
State of Washington.
IT IT A RARE OPPORTUNITY

TACOMA, Nov. 2O.-The communi-
ty In Washington that does not secure
y. booth in the state building at the
Louisiana Purchase exposition will
miss one Of the best opportunities in
its history, according to Elmer E.
Johnson, exposition commissioner for
this state.
Said he:
THE exposition will be the largest
of it's kind ever held. 1t will bring to-
gether more people than have ever been
brought together on a similar occasion.
The attention that will be attracted to
any exhibit will there fore be greater
than could be secured in any other
way. In view of this important fact
many enterprising communities Of the
state desire to have special exhibits
in addition to the exhibits made by the
state. 1t should be remembered that
the general competitive exhibits from
the state will be placed in the buildings
designed for exhibits of that charac-
ter. For instance, our horticultural
exhibit will go into the horticultural
building the mines exhibit will go
into the building for minerals and the
agricultural exhibit into the agricul-
tural building. All of these exhibits
will bear the state label, but not the
label of any particular district. A
man will be in charge of each, but he
will have no right to advertise any
district to the disparagement of an
other. He must speak for the whole
of the state and for no particular part
Of it. Any other arrangement would
be unjust. Every taxpayer in the
state has helped to pay for the exhibit
and no taxpayer would care to have
his share of the benefits diverted to
another section than the one in which
he lives.
However, each district can do it's
own advertising. There is ample room
in the Washington building to give
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1903-11-20
each county in the state special rep

each county in the state special rep
resentation. In this building each
can have it's corner, and any individual
who chooses will have an opportunity
to advertise his special line of bust
ness. If he has mine to sell that VIII
be his opportunity to sell it. Some Of
the most progressive communities of
the state have already arranged to
profit by this opportunity. 1 was in
Spokane the other day when the local
board received from the county COM
missioners and the city council, war
rants to the amount of $1,000 for a
Spokane exhibit. It is intended that
sources of the nine counties embraced
in the inland empire. 1t will undoubt-
eddy be Of great value to that section.
"Whatcom county, as in a great
many things lately, is also coming to
the front in this, and will have an ex-
hibit that will cost several thousand
dollars Whatcom county, by the way,
will do to watch, for it is coming to
the front in more ways than one. With
the prospects of a transcontinental
railway, with a direct route to the
straits and with unlimited resources
Whatcom county is going to furnish
one of the large cities of the Sound,
unless all signs fail. That is one coun-
ty that can afford to advertise at ST.
Louis and that will be in a position
to make a good showing. Our fruit
and agricultural exhibits are all COL
lected for the year. We have in cold
storage at st. Louis a carload Of fresh
fruit containing about 500 boxes. This
is our supply to begin the season with.
BY bringing out at intervals about ten
boxes at time we can keep a supply
of fresh fruit until the fruit season Of
1904 opens, since the cold storage fruit
will keep fresh on exhibition for sew
eral days. When the new crop comes
in we will ship fruit at regular inter-
walls and in quantities that will be I'm
pressive. Our preserved fruit has
been left for the winter with the state
fruit commissioner in Tacoma. Per-
has been prepared and about one-half
of our mines exhibit
In a sense our building will be our
lumber exhibit, but since the judges
would not consider an exhibit in the
structure itself, we will prepare a
competitive timber exhibit in addi-
ton. In preparing the lumber exhibit
We will claim to select peculiar and
even abnormal features rather than a
large quantity of lumber, believing
that these will tend to attract more
attention than the ordinary, however
excellent. At the American ex-
position one of the most attractive
and profitable of all the wonders was
our big tree. 1t never failed to attract
attention, and l believe the impression
it made on the minds of visitors was
more enduring than that made by al

hot skies of Cuba than In this LAad
of Flowers
Cuba has long been known as the
richest island in the world; its fertile
soil making unnecessary the use of
expensive commercial fertilizers; its
orange trees and garden fruits and
vegetables bloom and bear without the
aid of the irrigation ditch Already.
Cuba is not in need of aid from the
United States; her vast resources are
opening up under the impetus of fee
ing American capital, deserving the
mother country because the island al
ready offers better inducements than
the United States
Shall we aid this capital at the
ruin of our own interests?
There is now a tariff of twenty-five
and a half cents upon crate of pine
apples from Cuba Add this amount
to the rate of transportation from Ha-
vana to Chicago and we have total
of "A Ito cents, less than we pay in
freight rates to the same destination,
it costing the growers of Florida 1914
cents In this protection tariff that
protects?
I'VE feel that a reciprocity treaty
with Cuba in her favor in regard to
those fruits which are commonly pro-
duced here and there would end in
irreparable disaster to the interests
of an infant industry in our state that
has already reached to mammoth pro-
portions
The present tariff is actually mop
erative and should be trebled in
amount Yours very truly, Fletcher

Reads Like a Miracle.

Friarspoint, Miss, Nov. 30.-The
Butler case still continues to be the
talk of the town. Mr.. G. L. Butler, the
father of the little boy, says:
The doctor said NY boy had disease
of the spinal cord. and treated him
for two months, during which he got
worse all the time. Finally the doctor
told me he did not know what was the
trouble The boy would wake up dur
ing the night and say that he was
dying He would be nervous and trem-
bling and would want to run from the
house. saying he saw ugly things
which frightened him After we had
tried everything else, read an adver-
tisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills as a
cure for Nervous Troubles l pur-
chased some and used them until he
nad taken altogether eight boxes when
he was sound and well with not sim
gle symptom of the old trouble. This
was some months ago, and l feel sure
that he is permanently cured We owe
to Dodd's Kidney Pills all the credit
for his restoration to good health"

wage earners in this country, and our
farmers soon feel the effect. If agri
cultural countries elsewhere have
abundant crops there is naturally no
foreign demand, and with no local de-
mand, because of the impoverished
condition of the consumers our pro
ducers have little show to realize on
their investments and their toll
The Republican cannot see why a
single American farmer can conscien-
tiously be a free trader. From 1893 to
1897 the free trade policies. of the
Democratic party were tried, and agri-
culture suffered with other industries.
1t would be the same again were the
Democrats to gain strength enough to
enact tariff law. AS we have said,

tions--Davenport Qa-) Republican.

A Few Questions.

VIII it be possible for Mr.. Cannon
to hold Congress as completely in
check as he hopes to do? Will it be
possible to pass the Cuban reciprocity
bill at the extra session? VIII it be
possible to prevent congressman from
injecting the tariff into the debate
Mr.. Roosevelt would answer yes" to
all these questions; but the Republi-
can politicians, who know a great deal
more about politics and Congress than
he does, are not at all sure on any of
them; and for that reason they ad-
vised him against the extra session.

what principle of justice or equity
they are to be driven out of business
for the benefit of alien competitors
for that is precisely what it amounts
to in Florida and Louisiana in the
event that the Cuban growers of cane
sugar and fruits shall command the
United States market with their lower
priced products. Florida fruit grow
ers put the case strongly in the follow
ing letters:
"Ankona, Fla, Oct. 10, 19O3-The
American Protective Tariff League,
New York City.-Gentlemen You will
find inclosed a letter with few sigma
lures from the leading men of our
community. A few years ago, owing
to the good Offices of Senator Quay,
who is only interested in Florida as
a winter tourist and resident, we were
enabled to get a tariff of twenty-five
and a half cents upon pineapples, or
anges being already adequately pro-
tected through the efforts of our Cali
fornia contingent of growers, organ
lied and powerful as they are
"Our representatives from Florida,
at the time Senator Quay so kindly in
terested himself in our behalf, would
not work for the pineapple duty. but
actually voted against it in both
bodies OF Congress. Such bull-headed
stick-to-it-iveness is only commend
able when used with discretion, but it
is odious when employed against right
and justice.
~You are at liberty to use both
these letters should you see fit Yours
very truly,
Fletcher A. Russell"
"AnkoEa, Fla Oct IL, 19O3@The
American Protective Tariff League,
New York City.-Gentlemen: We en-
phatically demand that the Congress
of the United States be not radical in
it's desire to ratify the reciprocity
treaty in favor of Cuba Should this
romantic desire be consummated it
would be far better to live under the
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1903-12-12

The letters which appear below Will
serve to show the intensity of feeling
which exists among Florida fruit
growers regarding the favoritism
which is contemplated toward their
Cuban competitors. Finding it impos-
sible to obtain from the Democrats
WHO represent their state in Congress
any measure of recognition of their
claims to protection, these Florida
agriculturists naturally turn to the
Republican party for aid and comfort.
The South is full of Democrats who
believe in and want protection, and
who would like to turn to the Republi-
can party on that account There was
an excellent prospect that this tenden-
cy would become more and more gen.
eral, and that ultimately protection
would do in the South what it has so
effectually done in the states of the
Middle West, the Rocky Mountain
States and the Far West But this
wretched blunder of promoting agri-
cultural prosperity in Cuba at the ex-
pense of our own farmers seems like
ly to check the trend in the South
toward RepublIcanism. 1t may do
worse than that. 1t may prove costly
to the Republican party in regions not
long ago won from Organism and now
counted as safely Republican
The case of the Florida fruit grow
ers, like that of the cane growers OF
Louisiana and Texas, is one that
ought to appeal to fair minded protec-
tionists. These people have invested
all they possess in agricultural indus
tries that are absolutely dependent
upon protection against the cheaper
lands and the cheaper labor of com
peting countries. They have relied
upon the continuance of that protec
ton. They cannot understand upor
