The Spokane Fair.

The sight Of the billboard posters OF
the Spokane Interstate fair, pasting
their paper in this vicinity, reminds
the public that it Is not long till the
TALL festival season, when most people
desire to take some kind OF vacation
for at least few days, and when
hundreds OF them find their way to
Spokane. This has come to lie the
harvest festival OF the Inland Empire,
and considering it year after year, the
people OF this part OF the country have
learned that this Spokane fair, whether
it is called an Interstate fair or the
more single name of "fruit fair is
about the kind OF exposition which is
needed. There is plenty Of amuse-
ment for every body at the fair grounds,
at the down town carnivals and at
the many other places Of amusement
in the city, and at the same time the
man who attends feels that while he
is enjoying himself he also is profiting
by the exposition and encouraging
something which is of real benefit to
the community. Many people also
find the Spokane fair an excellen,
opportunity to greet friends.

Newspaper Advertising.

The Dry Goods Economist has the
following to say: II had letter
last week from merchant asking me
II thought he should increase his
advertising space in his towns two
weekly papers. He enclosed me two
sample ads ,-one a double column A.
inch. This merchant carries a 500. 900
stock in a town OF 1000 inhabitants,
and has the best dry goods store in
town. I told him that his ads were
a reflection on his store, and l believe
that he is one OF those merchants who
look upon advertising as a necessary
evil, and blood sucking expense, and
the cheaper they can get out of it the
better they are off. A successful mer-
chant won't hire bunch OF seven
year.old kids to stand behind his
counters, and Il bunch of dry goods
ads is just as poor economy. News
paper advertising should be done TO
bring business and not simply to
stand in with the country editor, and
the better it is done the more business
it will bring. Every store that is any
good on earth has some news about
itself that the public will read, and
the merchant should buy space enough
in his local paper to tell the story
interestingly. Advertising should not
be a donation to the county editor.
but instead should be an Investment
which is just as sure profit as any
dollars worth of goods in his store.
Take space enough in your lacal paper
to at least place you among the
prominent advertisers. Whether your
advertising is we'll or lily written, the
large space will give your store
prestige well worth the money you
spend.

worm of all, the fellow who gets on
in life is always full of gall. The

Declines Chicago Dinner.

Judge Parker exercised more wis
dom than at fret appeared when he
declined to attend the demonstration
to be held in Chicago.
Let Bryan, Harrison, Hearst and
Hopkins fight themselves into har.
mony.
Then Judge Parker might have
been taken for "a strike. breaker and
mobbed.
Then Judge Parker might have
been fed on embalmed beef, Mrs
Leutgert sausage or Hammond horse
hams because Of the packers strike.
Or the lady managers OF the Worlds
Fair might have slipped him away to
st. Louis, and have taken the Judge
down the "Pike," and into the camp
OF the cafless Ewes from Mindanao.
There are besetting dangers in
Chicago that a prudent man should
avoid. The west is no place for II
democratic candidate. He must look
to the east and southland the south
needs no looking after.

Republican County Convention.

On Sept. 10th, 1904, the Republican
Convention OF Adams county will
meet to name candidates for legisla-
tive and county officers to be voted for
at the approaching general election
to be held Tuesday, Nov. 8, 1904. The
outlook for party success this fall
from the head OF the national ticket
down is very promising. An honest,
fearless, intelligent, business-like ad.
ministration, managed by active,
progressive men is always needed, and
with personnel OF representative and
specially capable men, with all Sec
tions Of the county fairly represented ,
the ticket should be a winner in part,
if not in its entirety.
Whatever the republican county
convention does this year should be
done by the representatives OF the
people and not by any faction or fac.
tions. Trivial factional difficulties
have in the past been wholly RESPONSE.
BILE for the defeat OF certain republican
nominees, and it is high time that the
convention assert its right to make it.
nominations without consideration Of
any factional difference which may
exist in certain localities. Such diff.
culties should be adjusted peaceably
and compromises should lie confined
to the home delegations, and should
not under any circumstances be
brought up in the convention. We
believe the party has plenty OF good
material for all the county Offices and
should give more attention to the
qualifications of its candidates and
less thought to reward for party SER
vice. The first consideration should
he the peoples interests, which can be
safely guarded only by selecting candi.
dates who are qualified to fill the
Offices for which they are named. The
party in this county has been rent by
factionalism which today we believe
does not exist outside OF the princi.
pals. Any attempt on anybody's part
to name candidates with a view tc
please any certain faction should b.
and very likely will be very prompt,
condemned by every true republican
in the county.
