larger scale than ever before.
Fair Advertised.
Secretary Gibson stated today that
he has opened his campaign of adj
vertising and publicity for the fair
and that many of the newspapers OF
the state are carrying lads" as we'll
as writing up the big six and ten-days
event. Special rates were given by
the papers in the state to the fair
management, making it possible to
carry more advertising. The advertis-
ing of the fair through bill posting has
been cut down this year, the manage
ment believing that 1t pays to address
the public through the newspapers.
Considerable advertising is being done
through the medium of bill boards,
however, and the display matter for
this arrived recently and is being put
in place.

1T HURTS THEM.

1t is interesting to observe the fenzy
of righteous indignation which some
of the Democratic newspapers of the
country profess to feel over the action
of the president in throwing the great
weight of his personality into the pres
idential campaign. Among these is the
Boise Capital News. In a double COL
umn editorial headed, Roosevelt Com
mon Politician" it declares he has
laid aside the dignified robes of his Of
fee and descended into dirty" poll
tics. 1t scolds at him as those only
scold who find their party given ia
tai blow by some commanding person.
age, able and willing to strike hard
whenever necessity may arise for such
action.
But scolding at the president can
not set aside the truths he proclaims,
nor can it prevent these from taking
a deep hold upon the minds of the peo-
Pile. Those who indulge in frantic
scolding only weaken their own case.
They disclose the measure Of the dam
age done their cause by the utterances
of the president. Those hurt always
cry out in some manner, excepting in
rare cases, and that is as true in poll
tics as 1t is In any situation in life.
That is what is hurting the Democrats
and leads to such fulminations as that
INDUCED in by the Boise paper. In
stead of raving at the president, such
papers should return devOut thanks
that we have an executive who Is
ready to take bold and righteous
stand for the people on the great Ques-
lions that are now before them.
Theodore Roosevelt was needed in
this country; that has been amply
demonstrated in the past few years.
He came to the front at time 1t was
essential that some man with the con-
science and the courage and determine
alton to accomplish results should
step forward and take the giant COM
binations by the throat. He did that
in the name of and for the welfare Of
the people of the country. He Is just
AZ earnest in that cause today as he
ever was in the past and he knows
that it 10 essential to 1t that William
H. Taft be elected president. He does
not hesitate to discharge his duty to

Four Thousand Dollars Worth of
Wines and Beer Spilled.

Chicago, Oct 6.-The cutters Of
Hammand, Ind, ran trimming with
liquor yesterday. Derelicts from the

men cheered as barrels of beer were
poured into the cutters and bottles of
wine cracked and tossed on the city
dump.
Four thousand dollars worth of IL
quor was spilled by the authorities as
a whole libation to the county option
law. The wine and beer were seized

President Begins to Like
Machines.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 27.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt again Sunday made
use of an automobile in preference to
his team in going from Sycamore Hill
to the Christ Episcopal church in the
village. 1t is reported that the presi-
dent has said that he did not care to
use an automobile so long as there
were no exercises to be had. But it
would seem that he is beginning to
take fancy to riding in one or the
other of the two big touring cars sta
toned here for the use of the secret
service men.

TEN THOUSAND
TURKS IN PARADE
Rejoice Over PRONUNCIATION of
Constitution.

Constantinople, July 27.-Sunday
was given up to patriotic demonstra-
tons and speeches in the general re-
joicing over the PRONUNCIATION of a
constitution by the Sultan. All the
steamers on the Bosphorus were gaily
decorated with flags and 10000 peo-
pie, who marched in procession to the
Videz Kiosk, cheered the Sultan con-
tinuously.
The evening papers published an
imperial rescript, pointing out that ow.
ing to the previous condition of the
country it was impossible to apply a
constitution, but that now the time
had arrived to grant it to the peo-
pie. The hope was expressed in the
rescript that the people would cooper.
ate with the Parliament and the Sui
tan. The rescript concludes with the
imperial thanks for the popular mani
festations. During the demonstrations
on Saturday the people compelled the
ministers of state to swear fidelity to
the constitution.

ALL RUSH FOR LAND
Government Restrictions Re-
moved from Nine Mil
lion Acres.
ALL BELONG TO INDIANS.

Muskogee, Okla, July Pat mid
night the law removing the govern
ment restriction on 100000 acres of
Indian land in Eastern Oklahoma,
went into effect.
Every real estate office in that part
of the new state was crowded with
anxious buyers and sellers of lands.
Money was changing hands by the
hundreds of thousands. Agents were
busy corraling the allottees that have
been in practical captivity the last few
days. Leases were taken on land that
was not bought and actual cash was
passed from hand to hand, making the
night one of the most exciting in
years in Oklahoma.
Everyone strove to get the first
chance at the property. The removal
meant that 100000 of the 2O,OOO,OO0
acres of Indiana land in 40 counties of
Eastern Oklahoma, which formerly
was Indian Territory, became sala-
BILE.
The fight of the white man to secure
Indian lands was begun the moment
the Indian allottments were made, and
it has been pushed ever since. When
statehood became effective and the
question of taxation became an issue
the removal of restrictions became i'm
perative. but not until Oklahoma got
its own delegation in Congress was the
desired legislation secured.
For a month agents of real estate
companies have been rounding up the
Indian and negro allotees.
One buyer has been entertaining a
number of Indians and negroes here
for three days. providing them with
everything they desired, the only con-
ditions imposed being that they do not
| leave the rooms or allow any one to
enter. Guards in the hallway night
and day saw that the rule was obeyed.

ago. Philips dropped dead while

1t was found that Philips had left

farm and that the executor had verbal
instructions as to his burial.
Philips had for some years been al
