of three or four young girls met them
Without warning. and swift as deer
the little child darted forward and APP
pealingly grasped the arm of one OF
the girls. Celina Baccus, who resides
at 1913 Webster street. 1t developed la

child was deaf mute. The girls
were absolute strangers.
Sergeant Clark says there We're no
motions exchanged He is unable to
say by what instinct or psychological
action the one afflicted girl knew in
stantly of the other girls aff1iction.''
Miss Baccus took the little stranger
home with her. 1t seems that the
Cowles girl was looking for a cousin
by the name of Lilih Bienks. who is
supposed to reside at 800 Oakland ave-
nue. This morning the lost girl was
conducted to the deaf, dumb and blind

AID The FAIR
Commissioners Vote $500 to
Association.
McCAW HELD OUT AGAINST IT
Said Commissioners Had Been Blamed
for Making Appropriation for
Fourth of July Celebration.
McCAW HELD OUT AGAINST IT

Upon the solicitation of officers OF
| ton the board of county commission
! ers this morning voted to appropriate
| $500 out of the general fund to aid the
! association in holding its second an
nual fair and race meet next month
an even $1,000, but the commissioners
were of the opinion that this was go
able discussion agreed to the sum
voted
Commissioner McCaW was against
making any appropriation at all stat
ing that there had been considerable
complaint about the boards action in
making an appropriation for the Fourth
of July celebration. Chairman Corn
well was in favor of the appropriation
as was Commissioner Smith, both
deeming that the sum appropriated
would rebound to the county's credit
many fold. The officers of the asso
citation present at the meeting were
President Brents. Secretary Caswell
Treasurer Guichard and Director Kid
We'll and all strongly urged the board
to get in line and help make the fair
and race meet a big success this fall.
After threshing the legal side of the
matter out to their satisfaction, the
board voted for the appropriation.
The matter of the Gose road came up
before the commissioners this after
noon. This road is from the Dry creek
road to the Wallula county road where
it passes the Blalock place. H. Blu
chold appeared before the commission
ers and said he would be greatly dam,
aged by the proposed road as it would
cross the only place he had for starting
a ditch to let out his waste water. He
offered to deed a right of way for the
proposed road for $500. providing the
county would construct and maintain
a culvert over this ditch. The Bla-
lock Fruit company ask $500 damages
and it will cost $1100 to construct the
road. These reasons make the COM
missioners think it too expensive to
undertake. at present and the case was
continued until the next regular meet
ing in the hope that better terms could
be made.
The matter of the renewal of the
liquor license of Sam A. Ash was
brought up and it was fixed at $1,000.

1t is droll, the attitude of the Demo
cratic party in the present campaign.
1t has nominated candidates of mod
crate talents as fgure-heads for the VEN
lures of the discredited party, and ex-
poets the people to support them, while
the Democratic National Committee and
Tammany are expected to buy or steal
success.
The Democratic party, with it's un-
sound views, financial and economic, lies
hopefully behind Parker and those I'M
named expectancies voiced by Williams.

And Bryan promises to reorganize the
party after the election! How? Evil

and municipal ownership of telegraph
and railroad lines, with all the sequence.
What vagueness of thought and prom
Use! How may so-called leaders Of any
party expect to get the votes of sensi-
BILE men upon proposition so dim as
this! The fault with the Democratic
party, this year, is that it does not even
furnish good dissolving view.

Take Your Choice.

David B. Hill, the sponsor of the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency,
said at st. Louis that he Ibid not know
now Parker stood on the money ques-
ton" For thirty years Hill and Park
err have been intimately associated, So
cially and politically. If the statement
made by Hill is to be believed, then
Parker is too secretive man to elect
to the Presidency; if false, then it was
evidently made for the purpose of mis-
leading the people; and if the people are
to be deceived in one thing, why not in
all the acts of the Democratic leaders?

When the great iron and steel indus
try of the United States thrives, other
American industries thrive. The Dem
ocratic party could not legislate to de-
stroy the protection to the iron, and steel
industry without legislating to destroy
the prosperity of the United States.
The millions of additional profit and
wages that have come to the iron and
steel industry under Republican rule
would have been earned, if at all, by
foreign nations, had Democratic policies
prevailed during the last eight years.
The gigantic rise Of this industry dur
ing. the last eight years added enormous
ly to the wealth of the United States,
and every branch of American industry
and agriculture has been stimulated by
it. Prosperity at home and prestige
abroad has indeed been intimately con-
nected with the increasing imperialism of
steel, which once was Pauper but now
is King.

ROOSEVELT GOOD ENOUGH.
The People Like the Presidents DEM
ocratic Ways.
[John S. Wise. of Virginia.l

lJOnn >. wise, OF Nlrgln1a.I
The people have seen more of Roose-
velt-now as youth and cowboy and
sportsman and naval secretary and po-
lice commissioner and soldier and gov
ernor and President to think themselves
fair judges of his ingram democratic and
republican personality They believe he
would spring at and grapple with a
usurper or a monarchist as fercely as
he would lasso wild broncho or fight
Il Spaniard. And they like his demo-
cratic ways, more democratic far in ac-
ton than the aristocratic and exclusive
ness Of Parker, with his colorless demo-
cratic platitudes.
Talk does not settle popular estimates
Of public men. Thousands-nay, hum
dreds of thousands-of Democrats see
more real democracy in the vigorous, ag
eressive, wideawake Theodore Roosevelt
than in the colorless, secretive Alton B.
Parker. The platforms are mighty near
together. The men are going to be a
more decisive feature of this campaign
than usual. And with my knowledge
Of the American people and the things
which please their taste and fancy and
ill their ideals of what real American
manhood is / would, if were a betting
man, stake all had that Roosevelt will
be an easy winner.

THE WORkINGMAN'S FRIEND.
Railway Firemen Pay Notable Trib-
ute to President Roosevelt.

No President ever received a more
notable tribute from a abor organiza-
ton than Theodore Roosevelt did at the
convention of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen held in Buffalo. A pub
lie meeting was held on the night of
Sept. IL. Fully 5000 persons were in
attendance
Grand Master Mammalian, in conclud-
ing an address, called attention to the
fact that New York newspaper had
criticised the President because he had
accepted an honorary membership in the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen.
LET me say" said Mr.. Hannahan, shat
if the President of the United States or
any other Of its citizens does nothing
worse than accept membership in this
organization he will neither merit the ill
will nor deserve the censure of any of
his fellow-men. (Cheers.)
IF the rest of the public, and particu-
larly those who are intrusted with the
direction of our government and the
management of the nations greatest en-
terprises would do as the President and
meet us upon common level there
would be fewer strikes and less strife
and more Of peace and goodwill in the
industrial world"
what has the President done for
yOu?' shouted an intoxicated man, who
stood near the stage door on the right.
what has the President done?" re-
peated Grand Master Mammalian. ."The
President has proven to the organized
workingmen of this country that he has
an interest in their welfare by accepting
an honorary membership in an organza-
ton Of men whose faces are begrimed
by smoke and dust, and who daily and
hourly face the gravest dangers
The monster audience burst into
deafening cheers. The tumut rolled
from wall to wall and back again. Men
stood up on the benches, wildly waving
their hats and cheering for the Presi-
dent. The demonstration was spon-
taneous and was general all over the hail.
Finally it died down and some one in
the audience shouted:
"Hurrah for Theodore Roosevelt
And again the crowds burst into
cheers and when the second demonstra-
ton died out the Intoxicated man was
nowhere to be seen.
During the demonstration the men on
the stage sat silent and made no effort
either to check or urge on the remark
able ovation which the President had re-
ceived. The Brotherhood does not per-
nit politics to influence it's action, but
it's members, regardless of party, enter
tain high opinion of President Roose-
welt and Will stand by him as firmly as
he stands by them.

Marshall p. Wilder's most successful
joke Of the season has political tang
to it that is calculated to make even

aptness laugh. He tells of teacher who
asks class of boys whether they would
like to be President of the United
States. Observing that amid the gen
eral enthusiasm of assent one boy was
silent and disconsolate, she said:

"AS MAINE GOES"

In each campaign
They look to Maine
70 make the future outcome plain.
For each one knows
That as Maine goes
The tide of public judgment flows.
One time Maine went
- bent for Kent"
And every one knew what that meant
This year the State
Has struck gait
That sets Republicans elate.
At Esopus
Thereris a fuss,
Because the votes are going thus;
And Gassaway,
So blithe and gay,
Must write checks till election day.
The Texans shout
And jeer and fout
Because their State is not in doubt:
But d. B. Hill
Has had a chill
And thinks that he had best keep still.
Much pain is felt
Beneath the belt
OF those opposed to Roosevelt;
They have the blues
AT this great news
They know that Roosevelt cant lose.
The record shows
That as Maine goes
The tide of public judgment flows
The fight is vain,
For all explain
That they will have to vote with
Maine.
