DENVER INTERSTATE FAIR.
Colorado Industrial Exposition Asso-
citation Incorporated.

citation Incorporated.
Denver.-With the fling of articles
o. incorporation by the Colorado In
dustrial Exposition Association an an
NAL Interstate fair for Denver is as
sLred. The question OF permanently
locating an interstate fair and exposf-
ton in Denver has been agitated by
the chamber Of commerce and by a
number OF citizens for the past five
years, Dut the proposition has Just
been contaminated by the action Of
the stockholders at meeting held in
Denver last Friday evening.
The officers elected to carry out the
plans are: C. E. Stubbs, president;
John w. Springer. first vice president;
C. MacA. Wilcox. second vice presi-
dent; Julius A. Myers. TREASURER;
Hiram e. Hits. secretary.
The board of directors chosen to
manage the affairs of the association
for the first year is as follows:
Charles Boettcher. Charles MacA.
Wilcox. Thomas Keely, julius A..
Myers. G. Albert Wahlgreen; A. d.
Lewis. Thomas F. DAILY, Henry NJ. Por-
Springer, Charles e. Stubbs, w. A.
anu -1tlnuSt Duttoh.
President C. E. Stubbs was asked to
outline the purpose Of the organiza-
ton and to state some Of the advan-
tages of the annual interstate fair and
exposition. which it is proposed to
hold In Denver. Mr.. Stubbs said:
THE advantage Of first class in
terstate fair and exposition to Colo
RADIO are inestimable. 1t will be an
educator and each year Of its exist
eLce will in the future be regarded as
mile stones marking the development
oi agriculture, horticulture, mining,
stock raising, manufacturing and, in
tact, the development of every other
Important industry in our state. There
Is nothing which can SO clearly por-
tray the resources of Colorado and
the territory tributary to Denver. as
an annual state fair and exposition.
1t will furnish to the people who are
Interested in the West object lessons
Of our Importance as an agricultural
and mining state and of our unlimited
resources. which are here awaiting the
energy of man to develop them.
"The fair and exposition will bring
to Denver 100000 people every fall and
fill her splendid hostelries to over
flowing. When the visitors to our
state realize the great inducements
which Colorado offers TO the home
seeker 1t is reasonable to suppose that
large per cent Of them will take ad.
vantage of the situation"

Francis G. Blair, state superinten.
dent OF public instruction Of Illinois.
has an original idea. He thinks that
courtship should be taught in the pub
lie schools. in the interest of a knowl-
edge of the practical affairs of life.
He thinks great progress could be
made by having children take the
parts of Priscilla, Miles Standish and
John Alden, or by investigating the
loverlike qualities OF Enoch Arden. 1t
may be doubted. however. whether
there is any practical need of this.
Most people manage to get through
the difficulties of courtship without
much instruction. The Illinois schools
would probably get more benefit If
the boys were given instruction in the
great problem Of how to be grand
father gracefully.

When You Put latehkey in Your Door.
When you put the latchkey in the
door Of your home. drop your business
or profession; drop all the things
which have vexed and worried and
nagged you during the day; drop
everything disagreeable. Just say to
yourself. Il will not allow these
shadows in my home. This Is shrine
too sacred for discord." Resolve that
peace. harmony. contentment shall
reign there. II you insist on worrying
during the daytime, do not drag your
worries home at night. Do not bring
the black fiends which have destroyed
your peace in the office into your
home. Leave your cares and your
troubles behind when you enter its
doors. The habit which many married
people have Of talking their troubles
over at night, and especially at the
dinner table. is a most vicious one,
declares Orison SWEET Marden in Sue
cess Magazine. The dinner bell should
be q signal for the happiest time Of
the day. Every member of the family
should go to the table with smiles
each one should bring his best. bright
est and most cheerful things to 1t. No
one should be allowed to complain or
relate his unfortunate experiences
there. The assembling round the din
lner table should be an occasion for

Public Conscience Quickened.

Public Conscience Quickened.
Not many years ago Texas was
looked upon as the most lawlesa
state in the Union. Nowhere in
this country was human life
cheaper. The horse thief had
greater terror for the law than the
man who spilled human blood. A
great change has been wrought,
however. The public conscience
of the Lone Star state is more
keenly sensitive to-day, if we are
to judge by recent legislation,
than in many of the other states.
Among other laws looking to the
improvement of the morals of the
people, a very rigorous gambling
law has just been signed by the
governor of Texas. One provision
Of the law is sail penalty for
the owner of any building where
gambling utensils are kept, and
imprisonment for thirty days for
any person found guilty of play
ing cards in a private house for a
prize"

Must Faculty or Cadets Control2

Must Eaculty or CaueCS SOuGroA'
Viewed from the outside, there
has been for a year or more al
unruly and demoralizing element
among. the Citadel cadets that
has repeatedly been soorce OF
trouble. Because several cadets OF
this class were recently disci-
plined for a grave ofense, a dozen
of their cadet friends and sympa:-
thizers deliberately left the insti-
tuition, which was q direct affront
to The superintendent and facul-
ty. Some of these refractory cadets
belong to the leading families of
the state, and an appeal from the
ruling of the faculty will .ba made
to toe board of visitors. =
,Ths institution is facing cri-
sis, the ultimate outcome of which
will ID, eide whether the Citadel is
TO be controlled by superintend-
eut and faculty of able, conecien-
tious men or by an insubordinate
element of the student body. The
gravity OF the situation makes it
imperative that there be perfect
unity and accord between the
board of visitors and the faculty.
On this hangsothe future of the
institution. If The members of the
hoard have confidence in The
ability and integrity of the Off
GERS of the Citadel, then they
should stand by them 20 a man.
If confidence in these men If
lacking, then thar designations
should be asked for and others
chosen to fill their places,
The officers of the Citadel, most
of whom are known personally by
tie writer, are gentlemen of abili.
ty and character who are consci-
entious and answering in the
discharge of duty. When such
men, who are on the ground and
in possession of ell the facts, act,
the board of visitors should con-
slider well before reversing their
rulings.

stion as possible, The Advertiser
publishes "a portion of this ad-
dress. which reads as follows:
"We are opposed to what are
known as popular railroad ex-
cursions. We are opposed to the
common practice. by 30 many of
our people, of a gathering in the
streets of towns and cities on Sat-
urdays and circus and show days
and indulging in vulgar manners
and vulgar language. We advise
all respectable people to keep
away from such crowds. The say
ing that "Birds of a feather will
flock together" is an accepted tru-
ism. 1t is therefore not surprising
that the common commingling of
the best and the worst of our peo-
pie in the streets on Saturdays
and other occasions has been a
great injury to the race. If a man
has the habit of carrying his wife
or daughter into the streets to
spend from five to ten hours in
company with the worst women
end men that gather there, or
allow her to sit In a wagon or
buggy for many hours in the open
street, sometimes even after night,
or allows her to 60 into the Court
House during the sessions of
court (unless she is summoned
there by law to oe jammed and
pressed by the vulgar crowds, he;
cannot demand proper respect for
her. A good woman SO exposed is
a subject of pity"
Don't be loafers. All good peo-
pie are afraid of loafers and re-
gard them as criminals. 1t is
mistake for SO many of our people
to move from the country into the
towns. People who have always
been accustomed to the country
and the farm are not apt to find
suitable employment in the towns
and cities. 1t often happens that
Industrious country people move
into the towns and soon become
utterly worthless.
