dietary and transportation. His
service in this capacity gave him the
opportunity to become familiar with
matters of transportation. Soon af-
ter the close of his term as a legis-
lator, though a democrat, he was
elected mayor of his home city,
Champaign, where republicans were
largely in the majority.
During his residence in Illinois Mr..
Day formed the close acquaintance
of Senator Cullom, then governor of
the state; Joseph w. Fifer, now
member of the interstate commerce
commission, and Col. William R. Nor
rison and other leaders of both par
ties in the state.
Early in his first term President
Cleveland appointed Mr.. Day to the
position of second auditor of the
treasury, and since entering upon the
duties of that position he has been a
resident in Washington. Upon retir-
ing from that office he resumed the
practice of Jaw in Washington. His
study of transportation problems,
taken up during his service in the H.
linois legislature has been followed
continuously, and he has been closely
identified with litigation involving
questions relating to transportation
subjects. He has been very frequent
ly employed by the interstate com
merce commission as special counsel,
and has represented that bodySS:iin,
nearly all of the important investiga-
lions instituted by it in respect to
rates and practices of common car
riers. He has also been attorney in
many .transportation> cases other
than those conducted by the inter-
state commerce commission.
Recently Mr.. Day acted as special
attorney for the government in a
number of important cases involving
trusts, corporations and t]ransporta-
ton matters. He appeared as spe-
cial attorney for the government in
the beef trust suit and in the North
ern Securities merger case. In the
latter case he cross-examined Harri-
man, Hill, Morgan and other railway
magnates, elicting the causes of the
panic of May 9, 1901. His work in
these cases was so efficient and sue.
cessful as to meet with the full. APP

The First Fair.

There is a common belief among
the old settlers of Minnesota that Col.
w. S. King, who aied two years ago
in Minneapolis, started the first fair
ever held in Minnesota. This is a
mistake, although there is probably
no man who has been more closely
identified with the great fairs held
in this state during the past fifty
years.
The first fair, of which there is
any record, since Minnesota became
settled was held at Minneapolis, Oct.
6, 1854, by the Hennepin County Agri-
cultural society. It was but a print
tive affair only occupying n block Of
ground. Minneapolis was but a vii
lage then and st. Paul helped out as
it was intended to hold the fair for
the purpose of showing off to Eastern
visitors the adaptibility of Minnesota
soil for raising food stuffs. About
$500 in prizes was offered and paid,
notwithstanding the fact that money
was almost a curiosity at that time.

The new processes in tanning are
surprising. Leather used to be tanned
by soaking it for sever days in a weak
solution Of hemlock or oak bark to
give it color, then in pits of stronger
solution for six weeks, moving the
hides every day or so; then in "lay-
away" pits still stronger. for another
six weeks; by filling them with new
bark for another operation three or
four times: All this made good
leather, but it took from six to eight
months. To-day even the thickest hide
can be- tanned BY chemicals II three
hours. q

back of the employers were the great
corporations of the United States and
all the railroads. That is what is
meant by these illegal and outrageous
injunctions issued by tools of the
railroad companies, issued by judges

Labor unions are not perfect insti-

to an end. In some respects labor
unions are narrow, exclusive and mo-

all ideal state there will be no la
bor union, there will be. no boycotts,
40 strikes, no wage-earners. and no
Wage-payers. There will be a general
partnership. Capital cannot combine
and operate together and ask labor
to operate separately To ask the
labor union to dissolve is to ask one
army to lay down its>axms in the face

MI. barrow devoted the greater
part of his address to the subject of
violence during the coal strike, and
throughout his remarks he excori-

The speaker said only 20 cases had
been proved where dynamite had
been used, and that in no case did
the strikers or their sympathizers
intend to kill anyone. "They simply
wanted to scare nonunion men by
exploding dynamite in front of the
doors of these men, explained the
miners counsel.
Mr.. barrow said the miners or their
sympathizers killed only three men
while the coal and iron police and
soldiers killed three or four. "Nbne
