EXHIBIT IS
COMPLETED


The Inland Empire .committee for
the Louisiana Purchase exposition at
the st. Louis fair has about completed
arrangements for the big exhibit. A
meeting Of the committee was held
yesterday afternoon in the offices Of
ID. T. Ham in the Rookery building.
Arrangements were completed for the
last carload of exhibits. which will
contain the remainder Of the cereals
and minerals to be sent the early part
Of next week. George Ingraham, who
will represent the Inland Empire, ex-
poets to leave for st. Louis April s
and will be accompanied by his wife
as an assistant.
From the $1,000 appropriated in
Spokane county for the Inland Empire
exhibit $4,000 of the amount has been
expended and the remaining $4,000 has
been accounted for. Grave fears were
expressed by some of the members Of
$4,000 Of the appropriation would not
be sufficient to defray expenses at the
exposition. The majority Of the COM
mittee, however. were hopeful that
more money could be raised from
further appropriations.
George Ingraham expressed the
opinion that fully 10000 people from
eastern Washington would be in at
tendance at the fair and as good a
showing as possible was desired on
the part of the committee.
G. NJ. Brown, who is now in Port
land. sent In his resignation as chair
man Of the committee and F. w. De-
wart was elected as one of the COM
mittee in his place. The committee
as 1t now stands is as follows: d. T.
Ham. r. A. Jones. w. H. Acuff. l.. H.
Armstrong and d. F. Dewart.

COMMENTING on Mr. Rryan's r

COMMENTING on Mr. Bryan's re-
cent address in Lincoln, in which he
outlined what he believed the Demo,
cratic party must do TO win. the Mem.
phis Commercial Appeal which sup
ported him in both his campaigns,
says Mr. Bryan is still welded 10
his idols. In his Lincoln speech, he
advocated the reaffirmation of the
Kansas City platform by the national
convention in July. His heart still
beats true to free silver and imperial
ism. II is of course highly creditable
to any man who wishes to keep green
the memory of the dear departed; but
We live In prosaic age, wherin ghosts
cannot be made to take the place of
living things. Whatever may be the
merits of free silver. it is as dead as
the southern confedracy. Even in the
last election II played no part. Ii was
the deserted damsel of the campaign
Imperialism is an issue wihont form
and void 1t is too remote. too unsub-
stantial, too intangible to couch a
lance at. 1t does not even make
second class searecrow Mr. Bryan
in his last address shows that he is
still the same, impractical idealist that
he has always been. and while his
pet theories may be entirely worthy of
respect. they are not available at this
time. because one Of them is dead and
the other has lost all power to
charm. If the Democratic party is to
