JEALOUS OF OUR FLEET

The American fleet of sixteen
battleships which is now travelling
In foreign waters is arousing the
jealousy OF old England to quite an
extent, so much so that Australia
has been criticised by England Tor
showing too much interest tn
preparing for the reception of the
American b%attleships when they
touch the shores Of that country.
Just to what extent the criticism
goes the Omaha he indicates In tle
following article:
The British admiralty has been
unable to conceal its chargin ver
the efforts being made In Austla ALA
to welcome the American battleships
on their tour OF the globe. The
Australian government has voted
$500 600 for entertaining the Ameri-
can officers and men and business
concerns and private individuals
have undertaken to raise an ,qu |
amount, so that when the ships
arrive in autralia they will meet d
81, 600, 600 weclome. The British
authorities recently have openly
criticised tins lavish expenditure and
intiu aled that tue AustralasiaAs
we're making tao much fuss over a
visit by sixteen battleships.
Back OF the expressed dissatis
faction over Australians lavish
welcome to the American fleet is Il
commercial que.tion about which
England is very much concerned.
Australia and all British colonies ate
each year showing ii disposition TO
make new trade alliances regardless
OF British referentials. The visit of
our fleet will be followed, the Britt h
fear, by increased trade between the
United States and Australasia. To
Offset this the British admiralty
proposes to send a great British fleet
on d World tour, giving the British
colonies a glimpse Of the naval
glories of the empire. That such a
project is being considered is evil
dence of the universal interest
aroused by the cruise OF the Ameri-
can feet and foreshadows the coming
commercial rivalry contributing
tangibly to the nightmare of
"Atnerican INVASION which has
long been troubling England, Ger
many and France.

PUBLIC WITHOUT CONFIDENCE

AS the democratic campaign pro-
crosses toward the climax at Denver
ere seems to be an increasing dis
trust of the man who is to be nolnin-
ated as the standard Sea,er of the
party for the third time. In giving
some evidence of this lack Of conf
dence on the part of the people. the
Springfield, Mass, Republican says:
Among the sober and responsible
citizenship of the country MIR. Bryan
somehow fails to inspire great con-
filence when considered In relation
to the presidency This is generally
recognized and admitted even by his
most devoted friends, and various
explanations are offered. 1t Is not
the character Of the man, for that is
inspiring and above reproach. 1t is
not his luanner OF speech, for that is
taking to the last degree, nor his
mistakes or blunders Of speech, for
he never makes any. Most people
think the explanation lies in the
subtance of his political speeches-in
a radicalism which alarms where it
Goes not directly antagonize; yet
Mr.. Bryan is more safely and sanely
less roughly-radical than PIesi-
dent Roosevelt, whose policies have
the support Of three-fourths Of the
Republican rank and tile, to say
nothing Of the Democratic masses.
Is not the explanation rather to
be found In Mr.. l}ryan's extreme
|loquacity as party leader and can
didateY Attractive and persuasive
as.his speech always is, does not the
extreme and continuing length of 1t
somehow convey an impression that
there Is lacking in the speaker the
weight required for great executive
Office where action counts, for most
all aud speech for very little?

SECURED ATTRACTIONS
Thaviu's Concert Band and Orches-
ira, Nine Vaudeville Acts
for Corn Palace.

After spending a week in Chicago
looking over the various vaudeville
artists of the city and those gathered
there from the east, President Smith
and H. r. Kibbee, of the corn palace
committee, returned home Friday af-
ternoon, having made the contracts

palace Thaviu's concert band of 40
pieces and the Philharmonic orches-
ira of rs pieces have been secured to
entertain the public. With the band
are four soloists on instruments and
one gentleman who is a vocalist. The
band is a very popular organization
in the east and plays a class of music
that will appeal to general taste of
the people. The band Is just open
ing an engagement at Forrest Park
Chicago for a week, and later on they
will play an engagement of two
weeks at the White City. Chicago
which ought to prove the high grade
character of the organization. The
band has already played one engage
ment at Cleveland. Ohio, this sum-
mer and it has been re-engaged for
another week later in the season.
The band has also played engage
ments at Cincinnati, Ohio, Dubuque,
Iowa, Louisville, KY, and many east
ern points.
Nine big vaudeville stunts have
been secured for the entire week,
headed by Henri French, the Laurent
Trio of aerial artists, and the Araki
Japanese troupe Of five artists. The
rest of the talent secured will be
equally as good, and they will be dis
tributed among the attractions for
the interior Of the corn palace and
for the free shows on the street.
The talent will make the corn pal
ace week in Mitchell n Of the big
gest weeks that has been held in a
good many years, and there is enough
of it SO that there will be something
doing the greater share of the time.
The corn palace season opens on
September 2S and colses on October
3, and Mitchell will make it an OBJ
ject for the people to repeat their
visits to the city during the week OF
the famous corn palace attraction.
The corn palace has never failed to
satisfy the people and there will be
no falling down this year in any re,
spect.

democratic greeting reached his ears.
Roosevelt and Taft are both of the
people. They had the same struggles
in their youthful days and went
through the same kind of troubles
that the average man of today is heir
to, and they have not forgotten. 1t
is this fact that they have risen from
the most humble surroundings to the
highest place in the United States
that gives the people the freedom to
address their ruler in the most un-
conventional terms, coupled, how
ever, with a o v and admirallon that
robs the informality of anything that
oreigners might believe to be disre-
