LAFOLLETTE IS HONORED. Greater Demonstration Is Accorded
 Him Than Senator Fairbanks.

 Members of botn factions in Wis consin were present. Governor Lafol- lette and wife occupied a box, and as the state executive entered the orches- tra played Hail to the Chief" the demonstration lasting several minutes, the audience standing and cheering the governor. Requests for speech were made, but Governor Lafollette raised his hand for silence. Fairbanks then entered with tho reception committee, and the demonstration was renewed. Senator Fairbanks devoted much time to a discussion of imperialism.
 Such an utterly groundless and more preposterous issue was never raised by any party before," said the senator. "The government in the Phil ippines is a lawful one. The country win discharge it's duty there so as to bring honor to the United States"

IMPORTANT SESSION
 BEGINS TUESDAY
FRENCH CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES WILL TAKE UP CONSlDERATION OF SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.

Paris. October 15.--1he re-assembling of parliament in extraoroinary session next Tuesday brings to decisive issue the important question of the separation of church and state.
 During recess the rupture of diplomatic relations between Trance and the Vati- can and the recall of the French ambas- shdor to the holy -4e, occurred. 1t Is the purpose of the government to immediate ly ask for vote of confidence concerning what has already been done. The recent provincial elections have shown that Pre- mier Combes is as strong as ever, so no doubt exists that he will continue to command good majority during the coming session.
 After parliament votes It's approval of the government rupture with the vati- can, 1t will remain for M Combes to mature his plans for bringing about the separation of church and state. Thus far he has not indicated his plans, except in a speech at Auxerre, wherein he said that the government did not propose to patch up the concordat after the vatican had torn 1t to pieces. It is expected that M. Combes will leave the details of the measure for separation to the special committee whic.- has already drawn up project.
 This will be ready to report In January, and NJ Combes. therefore, has promised that parliament shall have an opportunity to express its wishes as to whether the separation shall actually be understaken. Many interpellations are pending con cerning various incidents of the quarrel with the vatican, including the vatican's protest against President Loubet's visit to Rome, M. Nisard's recall, and the re- cent incidents connected with the bish- ops of Dion and Laval These promise bitter debates from the outset The posi- ton of M. Pelletan, minister of marine, also will be attacked. A parliamentary committee has been Investigating the navy during the recess, and It's findings are severely criticized. This leads to a movement in influential quarters to force M. Pelletan to withdraw from the cabinet. The contest will follow the first religious debate.
 The plan of Finance Minister Rouvir for establishing an income tax Is an- other important project. During the re- cess experiments were made with M. Rouvir's plan in several interior cities. These demonstrated the practical work ings of the plan which Is expected to be carried out during the session. It will make a sweeping change in the French system of taxation, substituting a tax in incomes for the present extensive tax ation of personal effects.

What Do Our Homes Express7

From the Cooking School Magazine.
 If an ordinarily discerning person could inspect any home, he would perceive Readily the characteristics, personalities and Ideas of its occupants. though strangers to him and, for the time being, absent.
 Orators know the significance of Nthe pause in impressive speech. In like man her does much space between articles, of furniture and still more space between pictures and ornaments add dignity and peace. Any article bought just to fill up space Is placarded with the intention. On the other hand. who can comprehend the far-eaching influence, moral as we'll artistic, of a truly perfect outline or a harmonious combination of colors?
 The ancients worshipped their house. hold gods. This was the poetical ex- pression of a truth. Every home has a spirit whose silent influence even the chance visitor feels. Who can fail to see the beauty and peace In the domestic picture, where Hawthorne and Whipple picked entrants for tea, while Mrs. flaw thorne made biscuit and Mrs. Whipple laid the table?
 Harmony in the home depends upon the extent to which ideals are held in com mon, or to the amount of sympathy which each member has for the ideals of the other members. Where ideals clash. there exists divorce which no court of law can make more sure, and every sen sitive soul in such home withers under it's influence.
 No two human beings are just alike; no single groove Is fit for everybody; and no real competition should create envy. Every home should encourage individual, independent growth. Ape-lil.e imitation belittles; independent application devel- ops

MIR. HILL TALKS ON
 RAGE QUESTION
ENTHUSIASTIC AUDIENCE oREETs SPEAKERS OF THE DAVIS sPE- GAL AT HUNTINGTON, w. VA. HILL MAKES LAST SPEECH.

Huntington, W. Va, October 15.-No more force bills. no more federal election laws for the control of state elections. This was the conclusion reached by Da- vid B. Hill after discussing the race ques- tion as political issue tonight. MT. Hill had not discussed this question previously during the campaign he Is making with declared the republican platform injected the question into the campaign, not di- rectly but indirectly, not openly and manfully, but covertly and cowardly.
 The congressional Investigation invoked, he said, looked like threat intended for intimidation purposes. Continuing he said the proposal espoused in the platform might be viewed with more complacency, and less seriousness had not the attitude of the present occupant of the White House ever since his incumbency thereof been that of nl-concealed hostility to those whose notions of social equality dif- fered so radically from his own It was fact, he said, demonstrated by an ex- animation of the last census, in connec- ton with the election returns of ordinary years, that the democrats had actually had majority of the white vote of suft= cient eastern, middle and western states to enable them to control the presidency, if the negroes from those states had been excluded from the computation and tho southern electoral vote had remained as at present and the republicans had only been enabled to win the national elections through the colored republicans vote.
 This was MT. Hills last speech in the Davis itinerary.
 The Davis special will remain in Hunt ington until Monday. The rally tonight was a repetition of the previous night meetings in which the "all star" cast of the Davis special distinguished Itself.
 The local theatre was crowded with an enthusiastic audience.
