that John White or any of his

Senator Foraker's chief manager
former Lieutenant Governor War
rem G.. Harding, is attacking the
state Republican leaders for rein
PRODUCING the defeated Gov. .Herrick
in politics by choosing him as
temporary chairman of the coming
state convention. In his newspa-
per Gov. Harding tells the people
why Herrick has been chosen to
utter the keynote by saying:
"Perhaps he has seen the things
in machine methods that brought
blame upon his head and he is
edging into the circle of leadership
again to be able to correct abuses
and pay some debts.
"The late Senator Hanna was a
great, strong, dominant leader, but
much of his strength politically
came from his ready footing of the
bills. He introduced Herrick into
state politics to help pay the
freight. And the freight was
high in 1896. But Herrlck never
flinched. He stood the run in
1899 and paid big bills without
rebate, That kind of political
factor isn't cut out readily. Just
now such men are stronger with
the party managers than ever.
"Mr. Herrick is a good oiler and
has an oil we'll of his own. The
lines to corporate oil tanks are
broken. This, in part, will ac-
count for Ex-Governor Herrick's
utterance of the keynote"

ticular department OF the Exposition,
and every appointment necessary to
aid in intelligent inspection and study
of the exhibits has been supplied.
It is impossible to summarize the
leading features of the Ohio state
Fair, as each department, with its
profuslon of magnificent exhibits and
displays, is OF such merit as to attract
widespread attention. but perhaps
those in which the people as whole
are most vtally interested are the
live stock exhibits and the displays OF
faborsaving farm and shop machinery.
The buildings devoted to housing
and exhibiting live stock are perman-
ent brick structures, and, that they
may be Systematically inspected, are
grouped in the northern section of the
grounds. The horse building Is the
largest structure, being S32X332 feet;
the cattle building is 24Gx246 feet;
the swine building is tS0xlSO feet;
the sheep building being an exact du-
plicate OF the latter building In size
and general style of architecture. the
exhibition here presented is easily the
most complete live stock show
in the Union, and the finest stables,
herds and hocks will be shown in
open competition for the liberal prem
iums offered. The facilities provided
for showing poultry and pet stock are
the delight OF every fancier, as an i'm
posing glass and brick structure, To-
Gated in close proximity to the live
stock buildings, is devoted to this
class of exhibits. 1t is equipped with
the most modern coops and pens, and
will accommodate six thousand birds.
The displays of labor-saving ma
chinery occupy three mammoth build
ings, with total exhibition space OF
1O6,4O square feet. while for the
heavier forms of harvesting and road
machinery that is shown in operation,
ten acres OF correctly plated ground
are set aside for these exhibits. The
farmer and the mechanic are equally
interested IL the displays in this de-
partment, and great crowds con-
tinually throng the buildings and open
ground. For the coming Exposition
the assignments of exhibition space
for these displays have already been
made, and the applications were so
numerous as to completely fill the
buildings and plated ground hence

the General Assembly enacted law
creating the Ohio State Board of
Agriculture, and among the important
duties devolving upon it was the
holding of an annual state fair and in
dustrial exposition for illustrating
progress and promoting industrial af-
fairs. The first exhibition under it's
auspices was held in September, 1850,
near Cincinnati, and since that time
the Ohio State Fair has steadily ad-
vanced until today it is recognized as
the Premier institution of its kind in
the Union.
The ore object of these annual ex-
hibitions is to present to the people,
in well systematized divisions and
classes, a colossal exhibit of the fruits
of their industry, that they may study
the advancement made and profit
thereby. To successfully accomplish
this the exhibition must be of such
comprehensiveness, and the exhibits
so arranged, that visitors may learn
much even through casual inspec-

Forgot the violets.

Among the characteristics of
Walter Savage Landor, the famous
author, were his absentmindedness
and his passionate love for animals
and the vegetable world. On one
occasion, having suffered not long
before from leaving the key of his
portmanteau behind him, he took
special precautions before starting
on journey to see that his keys
were in his pocket, When, however,
he produced them in triumph at his
journeys end he found that he had
left the portmanteau behind. Ian
dor, though he often handled his
fellow men somewhat roughly, hat
ed to see an old tree felled and even
shrank from plucking a rose. One
morning he collared his man cook
and flung him out of the window.
Then, suddenly remembering on
what bed in the garden the man
would fall, the flower loving Landor
exclaimed: "Good heayensl j for
got the poor violets" !"
