ST. PAUL. Mimi, Feb. 21.-At the
great Lincoln birthday banquet in
the Ryan Hotel, attended by promi'
nent Republicans from Minnesota, and
! adjoining states, Frank B. kellogg
chief counsel for the United States
government in some OF its ,most I'm.
portant railroad and trust .prosecu.
tons, delivered the principle address.
Mr.. Kellogg took advantage Of the
occasion to voice the sentiment OF the
northwest for Secretary Taft as the
next President.
Secretary Taft is man Of great
learning and wide experience in pub.
lie affairs. He occupied position
upon the State bench in Ohio: sub.
sequently that of solicitor general
and for a number Of years was cir.
cult Judge of the United States cir
cult court of the Sixth district. He
WAS called from this position to MI
very important position of governor
of the Philippine Islands. 1t was
largely to his foresight and ability
| that the administration of the Phil
ippine islands has been a great sue
cess. He there met and solved some
of the most difficult and intricate
problems arising with people for
eign to our institutions and form Of
government. Among the most diff
cult was the disposition of the Friar
Hands called from this position by
President Roosevelt, he has with
great honor and profit to his coun
try. occupied the position Of Secre
tary of War 1t has been his pro
vince in filling such office, to have
direct supervision over the construc
ton of the Panama Canal.
Secretary Taft is a man of az
fairs; of liberal views; of sympathy
with the people; and thoroughly
equipped to guide the destiny of this
republic. It is not any desire to in
nuence the voters of Minnesota In
their choice OF candidate for the
Presidency. What we all wish. is a
man who can win, and continue thu
policies of the Republican party. and
Il believe no man is better qualified
than Mr.. Taft.
when there was great danger oil
Cuba again elapsing into anarchy
and the republic was near the brink
of dissolution, Secretary Taft was
sent to the island, where he brought
peace out of conflict. and restored or

officials across the highway and street
railway tracks to an enclosure within
the grounds. Inside this enclosure
will be two ticket offices, so that Wis
itors arriving at the fair by either of
these roads may have every convent
ence for entering the grounds con-
veniently and promptly.
The added convenience Of station
at this point will be greatly appre-
ciated, especially by patrons from the
located, just north of the new sheep
shed and at the apex Of the splendid
new system of cement walks which
have been laid inside the grounds
since the last fair.
During the past year the fair man.
agement has expended about $500
on new cement walks. At the close
of the fair last September all the old
board walks were torn up and the
excavations were filled with sand
taken from the hills to the northwest
of the fair grounds The new walks
insure good footing In every direc-
ton from the grand stand and main
exhibition building, no matter what
may be the weather conditions.
Last fall tie fair officials purchased
from H. d. Plumb's Sons a tract of
% acres of land lying to the north
and adjacent to the fair grounds. Be-
cause of lack of funds to properly
fence and improve this addition to
the grounds. it will not be opened
to the public this year. But sue
cessful fair this season will certainly
insure its being improved and made
available for exhibition purposes in
1909. According to present plans, the
agricultural field and one or two other
departments of the fair will probably
be located on this addition at that
time.
The new Comstock Park station and
the new system of cement walks
about the grounds are two features
which will make for the comfort of
ell patrons Of the fair, and the fair
management is to be congratulated on
these notable improvements to the
already fine grounds with their excep.
tional surroundings.

The Equinox Storm Fable.

The United States weather bureau
has denied that the coming Of the equi-
nox brings with it Il storm. The be-
lief, 1t says, that the old fashioned peo-
pie put ip this theory is all misplaced.
Any big stoan that happens to occur
within a week or two of the time that
the sun is crossing the line, say the
weather men. is dignlfied by the name
of "equlnoctlal Storm" when, as a
matter of fact, there is generally some
atmospheric disturbance every week or
two, and those that occur about the
time Of the equinox are just taking
their turn and are not the result of the
crossing of the sun.
