GOLD GLORY, IN CANADA.

Since the flag incident" at New
London, Canada, when several Amerl-
can visitors were assaulted when they
offered insults to the Canadian flag
and a general fight resulted in which
several on both sides were injured,
many of the Canadian papers have
been cutspoken in their condemna-
ton Of the display of hospitality in
which they declare Canadian cities de
light, whenever Americans visit the
Dominion. The Toronto World is es-
pecially pronounced in it's declarations
that the people of the United States
should not be shown any more than
ordinary hospitality and the Stars and
Stripes, the World thinks, should be
displayed very sparingly by the sub
jects of King Edward. A recently
published editorial on the subject
which appeared in the World, says:
American visitors coming to Tor
onto these days must have some doubt
as to the nationality of its citizens. If
they go to the exhibition, which of
course all of them do, the doubt will
be less pronounced. They will con-
Guide that they are among their own
people, and they will have only to look
at the American flags in the windows
in the decorations and on the flag
poles to satisfy themselves that they
are not the victims Of q wild allusion.
Toronto has acquired the folly of
flying the American flag to the point
Of positive mania. Hospitality to the
people of the United States is one
thing; flying their flag without good
and sufficient cause is very distinctly
another. Because an American tour
ist happens in the city occasionally,
and because the tourist traffic is fair
ly heavy In the summer season is no
reason for decorating the city with
star spangled banners.
1.-THE Americans do not fly into any
such silly ecstacies when Canadians
visit them, and they are to be com
mended for their forbearance. They
make it appear very clearly in their
places of business, in their streets,
and at their exhibitions that there is
only one central national thought and
only one emblem of it in the United
States Why should Canadians depart
from this sound, sane and dignifed
idea of nationality?
at is question if our American
visitors are particularly impressed
with the display of Yankee bunting
which beckons them into store or
restaurant. People who know how to
assert their own dignity are not prone

THE STATE FAIR.

The state fair Of 1905 set a new rec
ord for attendance that is far above
the marks attained by previous state
fairs. 1t is an index to the prosperity
and happiness of the people of Iowa,
the farmers, the business men and the
workers. The crowds at the fair
were gathered from every part of the
state. They were cosmopolitan assem-
blages-rich and poor employer and
employed. urban and country resi-
dents-all gathered at Des Moines for
week, or part of week of recre-
alton.
Last year the total state fair attend
ance was $4,000, but this year it will
come close to and may even exceed
200, 000-almost double 04,good year
that it was. The first three days of
this year surpasses the whole attend
ance in 1904 There were over $4,000
admissions Wednesday and Thursday
over 100000
The state fair this year means a
good many things. but above all af-
fords promise of the most prosperous
year Iowa has ever known.
The Des Moines Capital referring to
the Indication of prosperity furnished
by the fair, says:
I'm some states the iron trade is the
unfailing barometer of trade. Even in
g state as great in agriculture as
Pennsylvania, the iron trade is never
theless the test. In the south cotton
Is always king and the prices of that
staple determine whether times are to
be good or bad In Iowa of course,
everything settles finally to the out
put of farm products, especially beef
and bacon, but it is not necessary to
study the range of prices and the rela-
lions Of demand and supply through a
series of months. 1t is all summed up
in the attendance at the state fair.
That shows what the experts think Of
the matter-the ones specially inter
ested and best fitted to Judge. More
ever, this verdict is rendered by tens
CT thousands from every pPrt of the
state and is not open to the doubts
which assail the opinions of a few,
however expert they may prove them
selves. The state fair barometer ney-
er goes wrong.

value also in that 1t not only deals

RELIABLE NEWS SERVICE.

The service furnished by the old re-
liable Associated Press during the
Portsmouth peace conference adds one
more honorable achievement to the
record of the organization which has
brought down to a science the work
of gathering news from every corner
of the world. Though its members
are all in the United States it does not
stop with gathering news from Amer
lea alone but stretches out its almost
countless hands to grasp information
from every continent, every nation.
There is. apparently no limit to its
possibilities and it's achievements,an
the Portsmouth conference service is
an Illustration of this fact.
"The Associated Press is authorized
to announce" was the phrase that in
troduced most of the real news from
the conference at Portsmouth. Special
correspondents were there by the doz-
en-, men whose names are known al
most around the world. but they were
not backed as strongly as we're the
men who bury their individuality in
the great associations work and with
the "a. P" at their back they were
able to approach the peace ENJOYS, talk
y
to the world.
The stock in trade Of news gath
erer consists Of his trustworthiness.
Without that he can never expect to
succeed as a gatherer of news. He
may be clever at writing, quick to see
news, quicker to grasp an idea. but if
he does not keep faith with the men
who are his sources of information he
lasts only a short time. The Associat-
ed Press, by means Of careful man
agement, has been able to impress
upon men of affairs everywhere, that
It and it's representatives are depend
able. For this reason they are in
trusted with information which can
not be obtained by others. For this
reason, too, they were able to write
facts from Portsmouth when special
correspondents were compelled to
guess on much that they wrote. The
result Is obvious. The "A. P" told the
real news and the real facts. The
special correspondents sometimes hit
the mark but often they missed.
The people, the readerr of newspa.
pers, are learning that they. can de-
pend upon the news they see in As
ISOLATED Press papers. When q news.

From the strictly Canadian point

In eXtenuation of the growing craze

very little use in going to all this la.

When wart, mole or pimple shows
any sign of tenderness it is warning
that bad blood is behind it. Often these
places are on the face, hands, legs or
other part of the body for years, and give
no sign to cause uneasiness, and then
with little rough handling, slight cut
or bruise will develop into sore that re-
fuses to heal, and the sufferer finds him
self afflicted with cancerous ulcer.
