OFFICERS QUIT IN DISGUST
President and Secretary of the Sioux
City Live Stock Fair Resign.

wy Live SlOCN dir neSlSn.
The Interstate Live Stock fair which
closed weeks exhibition at Sioux
City, finds itself without head officers,
President NJ. l.. Finn and Secretary
F, L. Wirick having resigned.
Notwithstanding that there were
from rs to 80 per cent more people
In the city than in any former year,
the attendance al the fair was much
less than last year, which was a rec
ord breaker for the association. The
retiring officers are saying little about
this, but it is known that they are not
in favor of the dry" policy which has
prevailed at the grounds this year
through the effort of the local anti
saloon league. Wirick has been Sec
rotary of the association for the past
six years and his retirement will be
disappointing to the directors.

| STAR man that at the next meeting
of the committee he will move that
| the county park commissioners be
asked for permission to use the lake
| for the pyrotechnic display Fourth of
July night.
st is true that people ave found
fault at 1000 to 1900 chairs being re-
served for favored persons at the fire
works display in the open lots on Sus-
sex avenue, opposite the circus
ground" Alderman Wright added, for
the expenses of the fireworks displays
are paid for by the Newark taxpayers.
Thousands of men and women have to
stand in the streets in a great crush
and hold their small children on their
shoulders or in their arms, so they
can see the set pieces burning. People
do not like to stand in such a crush
for over two hours on a hot night.
"More than 100, 900 persons could see
a fireworks display on a float in the
lake in Branch Brook Park. Families
could lay and sit on the grassy slopes
of the park, while the babies lay on
the grass M the tots toddled about,
and all could look down at the display.

street and on Park avenue. l think
the Park Commissioners would allow
the lake to be used, for they let Phe
public use the park when the old Ao-
vertiser, now THE EVENING STAR,
gave free public ban concerts there by
popular subscriptions"
Mayor Haussling said it was a treat
to him and his friends to go to
branch Brook Park on the old free
band concert nights and see the babies
rolling on the grass, the toddling tots
and the romping bigger boys and girls
with their parents n older brothers
and sisters. He said also that the tax
payers of Newark pay about 7S per
cent. of the cost and annual main
tenance of the county park system,
and he thought the park commits
sioners would allow the display of fire
works to be made on the AXE, for
people would come from all sections OF
the county to see it, because they knew
they would not be caught in a crowd
of many thousands.

was a grand sight. Tens of thousands
of men, women and children We're gath
cred on the shores of the lake, on the
hills and grassy slopes, and the fire
works were enjoyed by all. There
were no chairs roped in for favorites,
and the public was satisfied because
everybody had a air show.
1.-THE difficulty about having a dis
NAV on the lake in Branch Brook Park
is the cost of building a float large
enough and whether the company that
has got the contract to supply the fire
works would make the display from a
! float this season, especially if the COM
many was expected to furnish the hoat,
which is not in the contract"

"Optimism means more than a smile.
A spirit ~undaunted, ambition, deter
mination, cheerfulness and
goodness-these are the component
parts of optimism. The message of the
flag is optimism. First, the flag is a
larger flag than rel second. the flag
is cleaner, and the process of it's puri-
ication is moving rapidly toward the
realization of the stainless standard.
'"rhirteen stripes, but forty-six starsl
The flag tells it's own story of optimism
and expansion. We look back to three
million miles of territorial expansion In
the past century. Surely the Stars
and Stripes are lifted up upon a high
mountain.
THE flag with consolidated stars shines
ever in the van,
And, like the rainbow In the storm,
presages peace to man
"Yet more encouraging to the optim-
list is the progress of purity. The age
of great reform is still in full swing.
Still there is graft, but there was graft
when the flag was first unfurled, graft
throughout the Revolutionary War
graft in the early days of the Constitu-
ton. and amid the bloody conflict of the
Civil War. But our nation inc our
flag are steadily becoming leaner.
More and more we must make the
nations flag the symbol of u holy
faith. The interests of Old Glory and
old gospel are identical. An optimistic
devotion to the flag we love is our su-
preme duty and consistent privilege OF
the hour"
