BRYAN COMING
Democratic Presidential Nominee to
Speak at Fair Grounds.


Speak at Fair Grounds.
In spite of rumor to the contrary.
William Jennings Bryan. Democratic
candidate for the presidency Of the
United States is to speak at the Min
nesota state fair, and has announced
Monday, Aug 81. as the date of his
one and only appearance in this state
during the coming campaign.
The official announcement Of his
coming followed upon visit of invi-
tation paid him by President B. F.
Nelson Of the Minnesota state fair,
and Frederick Lynch, former cam
paign manager for Gov. John A. John
son. In previous Geographic CORE
spondence Mr.. Bryan had sent his
compliments to Gov. johnson, but was
unable to accept the invitation of the
Minnesota state fair, as he was "in
the hands of the committee"
The eloquence Of Messrs. Nelson and
Lynch so pervaded Fairview, however,
as to take Mr.. Bryan out Of the hands
Of the committee and place him among
the stellar attractions at the semi
centennial state fair of Minnesota.
AS presidential candidate Mr. Brv-
an refuses to speak when those who
hear him must pay an admission fee.
sc Mr.. Nelson has ridden grandly be-
tween the horns of the. dilemma by
planning for Forum Of 1908" Sew
eral acres nearest the Smelling avenue
gate of the state fair grounds are to
be fenced off. and this section Of the
grounds is to be thrown open to the
public while the peerless one is preach
ing the doctrine of Democracy. The
speakers platform will be so situated
as to enable the thousands already on
the grounds to hear him from their
side of the temporary enclosure. and
at the conclusion of the speech those
who desire to enter the fair grounds
proper will be admitted at the usual
ticket price through number Of
wicket gates opening from the speak.
ers enclosure into the main grounds.
Mr.. Bryan has announced that he
will dwell largely upon the tariff ques-
ton. and it is quite probable that
from the same platform other speak
ers of national prominence will be
heard during the week The desir-
ability of presenting himself to the
people Of Minnesota at the Minnesota
state fair is being properly impressed
upon William H. Taft. Republican
candidate for the presidency, and there
are several other men of large inter-
est to the American public who will
also appear in this impromptu 1908
Forum" under similar conditions.

occasionally-one charge often brought
against the Catholic idea of educa
ton. 1t is that there is too much time
wasted reciting prayers and that it is
not intellectual enough. says the SYRIA
cuse, N. Y. Catholic Sun. If this life
is a preparation for the next ought
there to be any objection to prayers?
The trouble with most Of us living to-
day, in this intensely practical age. is
that we pay too little attention to the
outlook for the Life Beyond.
And as to mere intellectualism. even
snrne OF the very greatest sinners have
been highly intellectual. We are not
saved by intellectually. but by faith
and good works.

Of flrst-page comment by the Republi-

Bryan for twelve years, announced
seditorially that it would support him

REDMOND AND pEvLIN COMING.

The work of the session Of Parlia-
rent which has Just ended and the
contemplated visit Of John Redmond
and Joseph Devlin to the United
States will direct the attention Of the
friends Of Ireland in the United States
to affairs political in ireland. The
Irish parliamentary party has reason
tc, appeal to their constituents in Ire
land and to their friends in this coun-
try on the record of the last session
The passage of the Irish Universities
Bill is alone sufficient to make the
session just ended memorable one
from an Irish point Of view. In ad-
dltion. the Evicted Tenants Bill, deal
ing with the agrarian situation, was
passed. The Irish Housing Bill. pass
ed iii the last session. will better the
conditions of the working classes in
Irish towns.
The Irish Parliamentary party has
dealt with a delicate situation AMI
maintained its independence and dis
ctpline in its own ranks. In view Of
the situation in Ireland. the reception
and support to be accorded the ENJOYS
of the Nationalist party to this coun-
try next month is assured. Surely
friends of Ireland In this country can
not give support to any faction or any
plan organized on the basis Of opposi-
ton to the program of the Nationalist
party. Election after election every
Nationalist constituency in Irelan1,
SO out of a total OF 1903, returns an
Irish Nationalist to the House of Com
mons. all pledged to the principles and
policies of the Irish party and the
United Irish League. Not, only are all
the Home Rule constituencies repre-
scented by members of the Irish Ma
tionalist party, but the county councils,
the district councils. town commits
sions and poor law guardians. all Off
Gals elected by the people are sup
rorters of the Irish Natialist party.
Surely. we in America cannot ask for
better evidence Of the attitude of the
Irish people toward the Irish party.
Not long ago Cardinal Logue, speak
ing for the Irish Hierarchy. assured
" fish Americans that the Irish Nation
alist party was worthy Of the support
that had been given in the past and
OF continuance OF that support
The support given to the Irish Par
liamentary party in Ireland is hardly
more unanimous than the support
which has been and will be given to
that party by Irish Americans.
The convention Of the United Irish
League in this country will open in
Fanuiel Hall on Tuesday. September
22d. and it is an assured fact that tho
convention will be one of the larges.
and most representative ever held in
connection with the Irish cause.
Messrs. Redmond and Devlin will be
treasured. II indeed their assuranc .
vas ever shaken. that Irish Americans
are still united in support of the Unit :
ell Irish League and the Nationals,

The Election and Prosperity.

The newspapers are full of items like these now:
 At Newark the H. R. Worthington Company announces that it will em- ploy it's full force of 5000 men by January |.
 At the same place the Ledgerwood Manufacturing Company announces that it's force will be increased by 2,000 men. Both these industries had been running on part time, 'and had received many big orders contingent on the election result.
 Bradstreet's said in last week s review that orders which were conditioned on election results have been confirmed and many new ones placed"
 News that big orders that had been placed with certain concerns were made conditional on the cleo ton of the Renublican candidate for President is not the most palatable reading for Democrats, is it? let Der ocrats must print the news.
 But the reply can be made that even though these certain orders were conditioned on Taft's election, such orders would have been given just the same, sooner or later, if Bryan had been elected. On the whole. however; we believe fair judgment would be that, in the na- ture of things, there must be less uncertainty in business with Taft President-elect than with Bryan Presideht-elect.

MORE HOGS. LESS COTTON.
Faulkner County Farmers Not Pleased
 With This Years Results.

Conway, Nov. 7.-Farmers in this section of the county have realized that the cotton crop is not paying as it should. Nearly all of them are disgusted with the crop and the price which they receive. More hogs aud less cot, ton seems to be their motto for the ensuing year.
 The local papers are full of news almost every week concern. ing what would be best to raise the next year. The farmers have found that they can raise soy beans iu Pope county; can raise two potato crops each year; they can raise sweet potatoes which will weigh l0 pounds each; they have found that their soil can produce enough corn to ruu from one season to the other; they have found that hogs will thrive here as we'll as in Texas.
 Some of the farmers have com menced the poultry business, oth. CTS are interested in creamery. which they want located in Rus. sellville. Cotton crops of any importance are probably a thing of the past iu Pope.

BITS OF EVERY DAY PHILOSOPHY
Atchlson GIObe.

There are more kinds of shifless- ness than there are kinds of religion.
 It is terribly hard to pursue such a course that it pleases both an old and a young person.
 Not one man in a hundred has sense enough to take care of money after he gets it.
 Better be imposed upon by giving to the unworthy poor, than to allow the worthy poor to go hungry.
 At some parties half the evening is spent in coaxing the people to sing, and the other half in listening to poor music.
 A man buys a home, supports his wife in comfort. and is good to her, but when he leaves the house in the morning to go down to earn more money to pay her bills, and doesn't kiss her good bye, the neighbors say he doesn't care for her.
 When a girls dearest friend gets married, and she describes the hus- band to you, take off one quarter for enthusiasms, and then a quarter for ignorance. If she says the bridegroom is a very rich man, it means that he gets possibly $85 a month.
