Anti-Gambling Bill in Louisiana.

Latest returns from the campaign In
Louisiana against the race track gam
bling system encourage the hope that re-
suits will be scored for reform there as
in New York and the District Of Column
bia. The state senate yesterday. by vote
of - to Is. ordered a postponement of the
consideration of a bill providing for a
state racing commission and the regula-
ton of betting at race tracks. This was
virtually a test vote and promised the
enactment, possibly today. of the Locke
anti-betting bill, which was yesterday
passed to a third reading. The vote on
the motion to postpone showed a larger
majority in favor of race track reform
than was expected and indicates that
there will be no repetition of the exciting
scenes which resulted at Albany from the
close alignment of the forces In the En-
pire state fight.

Dealing With Signs.
From the New York Tribune.

Chicago is perhaps not the city which
most persons would expect to be first in
dealing with signboards and advertising
boardings on purely aesthetic grounds.
but it is. certainly not the city which
would be last to do so on practical
grounds. The action which 1t is now
about to take may be attributed partly to
good taste and partly to sound business
sense Both are concerned in the abate-
ment OF the nuisance. From whatever
cause the action arises. however, 1t Is to
be regarded with approval as a step in
the right direction and a step which it
was most desirable to take. We have al
ready commented favorably upon the TAX
ing of another step in the same COM
mendable direction. in the prohibiting Of
advertising signs on the outside of the
5th avenue omnibuses, and 1t Is also
agreeable to note a promising movement
in this city for the abolition or consider
able restriction of sky signs.

William II. Taft.

II the country approves of the republi-
can record. and desires a continuation OF
the policies now In operation. Judge Taft
should have a large majority at the polls.
For he stands more conSpicuOusly than
any candidate for the presidency ever did
FOR his party's record as respects the is
sues Of the hour.
1t was a feature Of the eulogy of Mr..
Roosevelt when he entered the White
House that his long and varied experience
in public Office would stand him well
in hand in his new place. The young
legislatuf. the civil service commissioner,
the police commissioner, the assistant sec
rotary of the navy, and the Governor OF
New York were now rolled into one as
President of the United States. Success
in the highest office was prehgurable. 1t
was declared. from the successes that had
been achieved in the lower places.
In the case of Judge Taft we find not
only a long and varied experience in Office.
but much the greater part of that expe-
rience bearing upon the very things Judge
Taft II elected President will be called
upon to deal with. AS governor general
Of the Philippines, as Secretary of War.
as special commissioner, SO to speak. to
Panama and to Cuba. dealing successfully
in all those places with some of the most
difficult questions presented to the present
administration. he Is equipped at every
point for the work his party now asks
the country to commit to his hands as
President. There is full meaning in in
dorsing policies and then nominating for
President the man who has helped ma
terially to shape them and to give them
their present standing.
In all-around equipment Judge Taft is
equally strong. He has knowledge of
the law, and has administered it from the
bench; he has the ready grasp and prompt
decision that go with executive require
n1ent. and his judgment of men stands
justified in many instances.
On the personal side he presents quail
tiles which even his stoutest political Op-
ponents admire. Round. rosy. healthy and
good Hooking: hearty Of greeting; a serious
man in serious things, and Jovial with his
intimates and a lover of a good story. he
makes friends easily apd keeps them
without difficulty. His domestic life is
ideal. Blessed with wife and children.
he knows the best atmosphere Of home
life; and it would surround him In the
White House as it has done In the pri-
vate house Of the plain citizen.
The republican candidate, considered in
all Of his aspects and relations. is . big,
strong man. of declared convictions and
with the courage to support them, and
certain If elected to the highest ONCE
under the government to give the people
an administration Of their affairs worthy
OF the best American traditions.

Settling the Old Questions.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
All the old problems are due for solu-
ton, for this Is commencement month.
Nothing SO becomes the high school grad
uate as the act OF finally determining
questions that have puzzled the thinkers
Of all ages. II the energy now used an
nually by young men and women In their
commencement efforts to free a troubled
world of its bothersome problems could
be utilized for the production OF electrical
power there would no longer be any
danger that the race for wealth would
deprive the public of the beauties Of
NIAGARA. Much is heard of wasted natu-
raj resources and the terrible doom that
awaits a nation which is careless of the
stores of water, fuel and soil that nature
placed ready for its use. but this one re-
source is never mentioned. 1t may be
questioned whether this youthful energy
is wholly wasted. for commencement class
oratory furnishes a certain amount Of en-
tertainment for parents and friends OF
girl and boy graduates. but from a ma
terialistic standpoint II is certain that 1t
could be put to better use.

Flag Shower at State Fair.

With all exhibits in place and every attraction running
in full blast Tuesday September promises to be one Of
the most interesting days Of the Indiana State Fair which
will continue througout the week of September z In
addition to the many regular attractions and features of
interest Tuesday will be veteran soldiers and chidrens
day.
The State Fair Board believes that there is not child
in Indiana who will not be especially interested in the flag
shower which is now planned This will be one
of the pretty sights Of the big Fair and will
appeal to old and young alike This event as being ar
ranged for now under the direction Of Capt Wallace
roster whose memory also will be hOnored on that dav
Captain Foster, in later years, has made study of
patriotism and patriotic demonstrations He knows what
schemes are most successful in aroqsing in the people
that feeling which to lay down their lives for
their country. He will attempt to outdo all previous
events in the exercises which will conduct on the second
day of the Indiana State Fair
On that day Captain Foster will raise the stars and
and will give his inspiring patriotic shower
in appreciation of the honor conferred by the Stete
board the memory of his brother This flag shower
is known as one Of the greatest incentives and in
sprations to patriotism that has ever been witnessed
or displayed Captain Foster has not yet made public
all of the details for his flag shower and part of the
interest therefore lies in the surprise which is in store
for those who will be fortunate enough to see it.
