A Successful Carnival.

view it was more of a successf than
anticipated. The weather was ideal
for the occasion, the exhibits were
many and of most excellent quality
and the attendance and interest
taken was all that could have been
expected. This little impromptu
fair, gotten up in but few days de-
monstrated to our people that this
county is perfectly able to get up a
fair and have as good displays of
fruit and vegetables as any locality
in the state, and fair every year
is an assured fact.
The bulk Of the exhibits at the
Carnival were shipped to the Port
land Commercial Club by the To-
ledo Development League, under
whose auspices the carnival was
given. This display will be seen
by the thousands of homeseekers
who are arriving in Portland every
day and will be the best advertise
ment this county could possibly
make. 1t will bring many to our
county.

Governor Johnson AgaIn a Candidate

To use his own words, Governor Johnson of Minnesota has decided ito lay aside all personal considerations to listen to the call of the party" This is characteristic of the man. He does not believe in third terms either in the states or at Washington, and he preferred to retire to private life. When his party called, however, he decided that he must make the race for governor a third time. He will have the active support of MT. Bryan, and between the two Minnesota becomes again a doubtful state instead of a solid republican state. The men who voted for Governor Johnson twice will vote for him again. for he has kept every pledge, and his record of deeds accomplished is unexcelled in the west. He served the people of the state ex- eellently hampered though he was by republican legislatures.
 Should he be again elected governor of Minnesota after serving two terms his success in politics will stand un- riyaled in American political history The state is heavily republican under normal circumstances, and Governor Johnson has been able to overcome the customary republican majority be- cause the rank and file of all parties believe him to be honest, courageous and clear-headed. He fears no man. He stands for reform and for the rights of the many rather than of the few. Minnesota will honor herself if she gives John Albert Johnson third term, and that is just about what she will do. He was first elected governor in a presidential year, and he can be elected a third time under like circumstances.

Solid Iron Market

The pig iron market Is solid at SIP 50 to
 $ls for No. foundry, Birmingham de- livery. Matthew Addy & Co. 8 weekly
 report says:
 The market everywhere seems to be
 getting it's feet on firmer and higher ground. It has surely gotten out of the
 dismal swamp of the early months of the
 year. All the furnace end of the trade
 has been greatly encouraged by the really fine business of the last 60 days. In the south there are many furnaces sold up
 solidly for some months ahead, and the south from being the weakest and most
 demoralized place on the map, has be- l come the strongest. There has been an advance in the price of southern iron of s2 ton from the lowest point. and it is confidently predicted in Birmingham that iron will soon go higher. There is more snap and confidence to the southern mar ket than to that in the north, but every where the feeling is one of encourage ment
 This week has seen a good deal of free i buying. The largest sales made in Cin- cinnati have been of malleable iron, of which some round lots have been sold. Foundry irons have been going in small orders, but there have been many of them. Inquiry keeps up splendidly, and there is no doubt but August will make the best tonnage record of the year. The northern furnaces have been having the i bulk of the tonnage lately, but this is natural as it was their turn. Besides the south is pretty well filled up, and on some hurry orders could not compete at all.
 Coke reflects the better state of affairs as it is in much greater demand. As result of the coal strike in Birmingham several large orders for Pocahontas coke have been placed for nearby shipment to Alabama"

DEATH IN MANY FORMS

From the Manchester (England) Ideas. TN 1890 an ingenious Frenchman calcula-
 ted that there were 1000 different ways A of getting off the earth I estimate that the advance of civilization and progress has now increased the figure to 52,50O Statistics prove that 100 people die every year through swallowing things such as pins. needles, studs, buttons, pieces of bone, unmasticated meat and false teeth. This is due to hurry.
 In London alone there are 4O00 street ac- cidents per month. These accidents arise almost entirely from the anxiety of the populace to get there quick. There is no other reason why cabs, motors, bicycles, carts, tram cars, and parcel vans should go dashng along, hurling pedestrians to right and left, cutting off arms and legs and filling the hospitals with casualty cases.
 In order to keep up with the demand, triumphant science is always devising fresh apparatus to save time and acceler- ate speed. Take electricity for example. You frequently read in the papers that somebody has died suddenly through touching a live wire. Doctors all agree that this Is the quickest death ever in- vented And as electricity now plays so large a part in modern life 1t is satisfac- tory to know that If any of us should hap

Presidential Campaign In Cuba

The presidential election in Cuba is '~to be held on November IA, and the Cuban, newspapers and politicians vel come its coming. The elections for municipal and provincial officers was honestly conducted, and it leads to the belief that the presidential election will be. Governor Magoon anticipates a spirited campaign, but he believes the will of the majority will be ex. pressed, and that Cuba will be handed over in a quiet manner to the Cubans. How long it will stay in their hands is another matter.
 Already the presidential race is talk ing shape. It is to be straightout battle between the liberals and con servatives, The candidate of the for. mer fs to be Miguel Gomez. Alfredo Zayas has withdrawn from the presi- dentia1 race, and the liberal party thus becomes consolidated under the leader ship of Gomez. The conservative can- didate is Gen., Mario Menocal. The belief prevails that Gomez will easily defeat Menocals although the race is to be somewhat closer than was at first expected. The money and property of the country is centered in the con- servative party while the rank and file are liberals. All vote regardless of property or educational qualincar tions. If the conservatives see that

SOCIAL STRATA IN STRICKLAND.
Dinnq Car Episode That Indicates
 How the Lines Are Drawn.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
 Discussing the other day the chasn which separates the various social strata in stageland. Charles Belmont Davis told a story to illustrate the point he sought to make. Miss Etnel Rarrymore." said he entered the din- ing car on a western tour once for late breakfast. With her were two of her leading men, who, like Miss Barrymore were remarkable not only for the early age at which they had attained distinc- tion. but also for the manner in which they had been cosseted by society.
 "Just across the aisle from the table selected by the Barrymore party sat two stout women of uncertain age. Their locks were of mingled colors, their faces told of a night spent in the day coach, and wide, loose cloaks drawn closely to their throats hinted at disarray beneath. The conductor approached Miss Barry more. Tickets, please Miss Barrymore smiled at him in her enchanting way. and said in that clear, delightful voice that reaches every corner of theatre, 'Frohman company, you know
 "rhe conductor bowed and turned to the women across the aisle He re- peated his request. The elder of the two whispered something to him. The roar of the train prevented his catching her statement. She whispered again. He shook his head impatiently, Where are your tickets madam? he demanded sternly The buxom woman lifted her voice. My friends across the table, said she, is Miss De We're, who has set the boys going in every town between the seas with her impersonation of Miss Mumm de Pommerty,' in the Twentieth Century Widows Burlesque company. am Miss Pongtingford, and as Very Winecooer" I'm no slouch, if I say 1t, as I oughtn't Our manager is asleep in the smoking car ahead, and if you want any further information you may apply to him.. And she cast glance of defiance at the carefully eroomed, aristo- cratic looking trio across the aisle.'

DiSCOunting UnpiCked Bales

The bears have met in the dark de- files of Wall street and have decided that the growing cotton crop is good for 14000,0 ,000 bales. Trade, they go on to say, is inactive, and the price must be pushed down, and they pro- ceeded to push the October option down to S.70 cents.
 Cash cotton is still worth in New Orleans 9s4 cents. What it is worth in New York we need not stop to inquire, for there is no spinnable spot cotton in that center of cotton gambling.
 And yet it is conceded that the stocks as the end of the cotton year draws near are unusually small But that fact only serves to impel the spinners l foreign and domestic, to conspire the ] stronger against the producer. The spinners want Scent cotton the pro- ducers must have 10 cents in order to have any net profit left after the year $ expenses are paid.
 The war Is on, and the producer who can arrange with creditors to the end of holding his cotton until after Christ mas may get 10 cents, while those oi his neighbors who do not or cannot carry their cotton are receiving but cents. This is the situation as it stands today. The bears drove the price oi cotton down on Thursday to the extenI of $2 a bale, and they can be trusted to make further drives of like nature when they can create the opportunity
 There is but one way to meet the assault of the cotton gamblers upor the price of cotton-hold back the staple. Hold back every possible bale Hold that bale against minimum price of 10 cents. The spinners ant the gamblers are pulling together against the producers, but they canno affect a bale that rests securely inc ; shed on the farm, or in a warehouse at the railroad station.

Prominent Geolooist.

Few technically educated young men have risen so rapidly as John Sharshall Grasty of Virginia said man prom1- nent in the industrial world. "He is an able and successful geologist. He is the son of Thomas P Grasty and is well known and highly esteemed in the Bir- mingham district, where he has done much important field work. Johns Hop kins has recently conferred the degree of Ph. D. on him.
 "Dr Grasty is at present in charge Of the Maryland geological survey work on cement. He has also been chosen adjunct professor of geology in the University or Virginia He is only 27 years of age, but on his reports turn questions of invest ment where millions of dollars are at stake. Dr. Grasty is a stocky plucky, sunny-faced youngster that takes life se- riously enough. but is never too busy to crack joke or listen to one. His friends here will always be glad to learn of honors coming to John Sharshall Grasty.'

THE COUNTRY EDITOR

the average country paper in a week than you get in the big city daily in coon's age. The country editor thinks he be- lieves what he writes. while half the city editors-we mean the political and re- ligious writers-write what they are paid to write. Thus many a democrat is boost ing for the republican party, while the republican editor writes nice pieces about Bryan. In the country, bless your life, we live near to nature and near to our critics, who fnd us out before we find out ourselves. If we renig on any prop ostion. before sundown half dozen of- tended subscribers are in the office try- ing to stop their vile paper.
 Tell us the country editor has a hard lot. Maybe he has. but he Is at least on the square. He believes what he says, unless it is his big advertiser. who be- lieves 1t for him. But you come good deal nearer to the facts than you do In the city paper, where the work is done by scores of writers, and nobody knows who the guilty party may be.
 The country eaitor--bless you, he sees just as many funny things and laughs up his sleeve at them just the same as you big city editors do. He sees shams and pretense and the new rich and the men who work religion and those who try to work the lodge and those who are bosses and those who only think they are but he just laughs. As James Whit comb Riley says of Old Jap Miller, He just chawed on.'' So we just chaw on.
 Never mind writing nice pieces about the country editors You may feel sorry for them. but don't let them find 1t out or you might find yourself in contact with stuffed club. It is all right to feel sorry for them, but you had better not say anything about it. Many of them are where they are from choice There are country editors who could com- mard more conspicuous positions, but they prefer their life of ease and lux ury and affluence and high living and independence and independent thinking. to any of your measly, little, cooped-up narrow, hack-writing city editorships Now is that clear? If so, then pass the pie.

WOMEN SWIM M FRS,
New York World.

From the New York World.
 Of the 34 starters in the life-saving corps endurance swim from the Brook lyn bridge to Coney Island the two wom- en swimmers went the whole 13 miles, though most of the men quit. One of the women had never swum further than two miles before, but she finished fresh. Several of the men collapsed after fin- ishing.
 Swimming is vigorous exercise. If the water is not too cold 1t is the best kind of exercise. The chest muscles are devel- oped and their strength helps the lungs. The abdomen and back are strengthened. The support of the water lessens injuri- ous internal strains
 Men have more strength than women, but women have more vitality than men. In swimming, the chill of the water tells more on man than on a woman. The same feminine quality that enables wom- en to be superior to men in dentist, s chair helped Miss Gallup and Miss Hurst keep cheerful for five hours In the ocean.

The Tide of Trade.

"As straws show which way the tide is moving, so the rise of merchandise ex- ports through the port of New York from value of s7.72SOOO one week to SIP, 425, 900 the next week ending with August 15, is proof that our foreign commerce is not tagging behind, however slow domestic commerce may be to revive" says the Wall Street Journal.
 Last weeks exports were practically as large AS those of the corresponding week of l907 although those of July for principal domestic products were among the smallest in several years. From pres { ent indications there is to be an early and larger export traffic this fall The salc of million bushels of wheat for export In a single day at Chicago is now not an unusual event. This outlook has direct bearing upon the domestic and interna- tional monetary situation,

Presidents and Reliqion.

Since MT. Tafts church utilization has been brought up as some sort of a cam- paien issue, it may be of interest to state the religious connection of the presidents of the United tSates," said an old demo- crat. According to the World Almanac, there were, of 25 presidents, eight Episco- palians, two Congregationalists, one Lib- eral six Presbyterians, two Dutch Re- formed, one Unitarian, one Disciple and four Methodists.
 This list, l say, is according to the World Almanac, which is excellent au- thority on most subjects, but it may be misleading to set Lincoln down as Pres byterian. Presbyterianism was the re- ligion of his parents, perhaps, but he him self was connected with no church, and from all accounts was reticent touching his religious belief. From all can gather, Lincoln believed firmly in personal God and the immortality of the soul, and that was all.
 Jefferson was known as a free thinker, or infidel and Lincoln, I think, belonged to the same class. Jefferson Is listed by the World as a liberal, which is but an- other name for free thinker. The late Grover Cleveland Is put down as Pres byterian, but he was not member of any church. He was the son of Presby- terian minister and his wife is most de- voted and consistent Presbyterian, but he was never a communicant.
 'The only Protestant denomination that has never had a president is the Baptist, one of the largest and most progressive of the churches. In numbers it ranks next to the Methodist, which Is the strongest Protestant body. Never in my day, and so far as I learn from history never at any time has a candidates theological views been brought into question. q am not one of those who say it makes no difference what man believes with regard to God and revealed religion the holy and undivided Trinity, original sin, baptism, heaven and hell, and so on;
 but l do say that in this free country Of ours, the only religious test should be along the line of moral concepts and prac- tical ethics. In political campaign l look solely to the candidates political princi- ples and to his gneeral capacity and fit ness. l am going to vote for Bryan, not | because he Is Presbyterian, while MT. | Taft is a Unitarian Christian instead of a | Trinitarian, but because l am a demo- 1 crat and am pledged to the democratic | ticket. Those persons who are against | Taft simply because he is a Unitarian are either very shallow or the rankest of | hypocrits.
 '1t may be of interest to remark that in | New York the most intense of the Trini- tarians, the Roman Catholics, lean l strongly to Taft. I am told by a loyal
 Bryan democrat of New York that Taft will get the bulk of the Catholic vote of | that State"
