Sketches from Among the State
Buildings.

Chicago Day and Chicago week
have passed. Chicago and st.
Louis have mingled and intermin-
gled, and become better friends.
The visitors from the "Windy
City" were generous enough to
acknowledge that st. Louis has
beautiful stores, clean streets, ex-
cellent car service and hands ONE
homes. Most every one who at
tended the various other fairs
compare them with this but are
forced to acknowledge that moth
ing SO great and splendid has ever
been conceived before. This has
been a month Of many visitors
from the large schools and colleg-
es. Many clubs and parties have
come, some in their yachts, some
in private coaches and others in
automobiles.
Missouri day was heralded by
thousands, and the souvenir medal
and neat, enamelled buttons were
worn by people from all over the
United States, and doubtless some
will be carried to foreign countries.
On State days more than any 9TH
or, families come to spend the day,
and the noon hour is easily dis
tinguished by the parties seated
here and there on the lawn, enjoy
ing a picnic feast.

of the 22d. He has been giving
two concerts daily the past week.
Just before the last number, Pres
ident Francis came forward, and
in we'll chosen language, thanked
the great musician for his com ing,
and the pleasure he had given the
American people, especially those
OF the music loving public, saying
that it was not his to anticipate the
granting of gold medals, but that
if thejudges listened to the Presi-
dent (pointing to himself) that
there would be no question upon
whom the honor would be confer
red. st. Louis would like to keep
Mr.. Guilmant until the close of the
fair, but other engagements call
him and he leaves us, hoping he
may at some future date return to
this country and to the Worlds
Fair city.
The fire works Saturday night
excelled any thing yet attempted.
Great wheels and ornate pieces
were erected all around the lagoon,
while red and green lights flashed
and burned from the waters edge.
Several beautiful pieces were
erected out in the lake, and pro-
duced the effect of burning vessels,
hugh flowers and shooting stars.

Shall We Sail by the Chart?

Shall the United States continue
the course which the nations
founders established and upon
which a hundred years Of growth
and greatness rest, or shall the
people permit the administrative
powers to inaugurate new policies
and practice innovations formulate
ed by themselves for their own
advantage? Constitution versus
Imperialism means just that.
The Republican party stands be-
fore the people on the proposition
that our welfare as a people de-
pends upon sacraficing the Consti-
tuition to the imperialistic tenden-
cy. What Imperialism is the peo-
pie now pretty well understand.
1t is administration rule, which
continually advances the ruling
power at the expense of the peo-
pie; for the perpetration of the rul-
ing machine. 1t is government of,
by and for the administration. 1t
is a subversion of Democracy.
The Democratic party stands for
Democracy and the Constitution,
which is the only safeguard of that
Democracy. The Democratic party
stands by the Constitution as the
foundation of the nations strength,
greatness and happiness.
Less than three weeks remain OF
the campaign. The arguments
have mostly been made and the
great presidential case is about to
go to the jury of the people.
Judge Parker fittingly sums
up the issue-Shall the ship of
state sail by the peoples chart or
at random? That is the question
which the voters will have to an
swer. 1t is a bigger question than
any statement of it can make it
seem. 1t involves a choice be-
tween two modes Of government
for almost a hundred millions of
people. The choice must have a
direct bearing upon the future of
the worlds greatest nation. 1t
comprehends vast results-for
good or i'll. 1t enters vitality into
the making of the larger history
of the future. With it is bound
up destiny.-St. Louis Republic.

ing the hostess is kept busy an
swering questions about the large
bell near the entrance. The police
and guards eye with caution every
visitor who approaches Liberty
Bell. Many people in their en-
thusiasm rush up and embrace the
old bell, while scarcely a man,
woman or child can pass it with
out putting their hands on it, and
tracing out the great crack which
runs up its side. We are reliably
informed that the bell will be re-
turned to Philadelphia on Novem-
Der Is, and that those in authority
have decided not to permit this
historic relic to again be on exhi-
bition at another fair. ..
The Indiana State building con-
tains quite collection of interest,"
ing pictures, books and original
manuscripts. A novel and beau
tiful table is found on the second
floor. 1t is made from the differ
ent kinds of wood from each state,
formed into the shape of map of
the United States. Each state is
shown in its correct position, the
shape or outline being carefully
followed, the grain of the wood so
arranged that each stands out per-
fectly, making one harmonious
whole. The different lakes and riv
ers are represented with accuracy.
Around the edge is fancy border,
and at either side of the map por-
tion is a flag, one the national en-
blem, and the other the World s
Fair flag.
The little State of Connecticut
has spared no expense in making
her State building one of intense
interest. The exterior design is
patterned after a fine old mansion
in Hartford, built in 1920, by
Charles Sigourney. The interior
was designed on strictly colonial
models, and is in perfect harmony
with the outside plan. The front
door and much of the interior are
fine old specimens taken from an
old mansion in Connecticut. The
beautiful old pieces of furniture
were selected with great care, and
are genuinely antique, and repre-
sent the colonial period from 1900
to 1880. A Charter Oak Frame and
Tablet are on exhibition. The
tablet bears the title, Connecticut,
The Constitution and State" "
Connecticut is anxious that the
world should know the promi-
nent part she took in our early his
tory, and would prefer being called
the "Constitution State" Ninstead
of the Nutmeg State" as we
learned it in history from the story
Of the nutmegs. The tablet bears
several quotations. The hostess
called our attention to the follow
ing: "The birthplace of Ameri-
can Democracy is Hartford. Gov
ernment of the people, by the
people and for the people first took
shape in Connecticut. The Amer
| lean form of commonwealth origi-
mated in Connecticut, and not in
Massachusetts,, Virginia, Or any
other colony" @
