Speaking of fairs the Minnesota state
pass system, other smaller fairs will
do we'll to watch and notice results.
This year every person entering the
gates at the Minnesota fair will pay
regular admission rates, possibly an
exception in favor of Taft and Roose-
Welt who are billed on successive days,
but the restaurant man, the cane man,
every exhibitor, every horse man, ae;o-
plane exhibitor, every preacher, every
band member, in fact everybody must
pay every day. The fair management
pays cash for their advertising and the
editor and the devil both pull their
pocket books. One brass band kicked
and the fair management promptly
raised the pay for their services so they
could go to the fair every day This
anti-pass order broke the heart of an
enterprising preacher that for a num-
Der of years has cleared $500 to $1,000
each year, by running church eating
house. The good women of the church
always volunteered their services to
help run this eating house, and in re-
turn had a six-days' pass. This year
they will have to pay admittance each
day, or the preacher will have to buy
tickets for them. And it can be men
toned that even this year, this preach
err. with this drawback has paid for the
privilege Of running an eating house
at the Minnesota state fair, higher
price than ever before.

must be special experience. as he
was known by fame to most Of those
whose votes he canvassed. Now he

one by one the old consultations
marched out on the azure field and took

TEDDY AT SIOUX CITY.
lGioly Cit1, Iaurnall

It is a matter Of regret that Col.
Roosevelt can not stay over to the fair.
But it is delightful to have even so
brief a visit-to see his face and hear
his voice.
1t is a pleasure to have the colonel
come this way because of confidence
that nowhere in his travels has he seen
a better country. He should have seen
us in the days of grasshoppers and
sod houses. and then from his car win
dow he could put measure on the
wonderful progress of this land. Con-
servation! Why. there has been moth
ing like it In the history Of time.
No novelty In welcome can be offer
ed, but there is nothing the equal to
be seen from the car window
1t is hardly necessary TO put down
here for information that the country
is still progressive.

1t is not disclosed in the retrospect
that this was in the program at the
time of the meeting of the recent Des
Mones convention. The senior senator
was introduced to the convention with
no word of eulogy. He appeared in a
reflected light. Lo, he has become as

The junior senator had the first run
for executive favor. The ride was from
Ames to Council Bluffs. There was in
terchange of airy nothings: but there
was no speaking from the same plat
form The journey was made, and all
of it's appearances swept into the re-
cesses of memory. without leaving be-
hind syllable Of oratorical perfume
to be treasured in the depository or
political capital. And nothing was
later tossed from the strong hand OF
potential personality into the upturned
faces of Iowa multttudes to remind
them of omission.

appearance Of discrimination. with
some incentive to criticism on the
score of the square deal, must be LETT

tics is more profound, and whose
touch is closer with the subtle In
huences engaged in the mighty task OF
unraveling the problems Of our time,
than is available to humility and the
obscurity Of 1t.
What is here reported is merely the
Dolliyer SCOOP, the completeness of 1t,
and the possible consequences if it up

THE PREACHERS SALARY.

If there is one thing in which
churches. as a rule. need to be more
careful, it is the matter of preachers
salaries. With an Indifference and an
insensibility and utter disregard which
we cannot understand, many churches
seem to think that contract between
themselves and the minister is no con-
tract at all They promise him a def
mite salary then pay him whatever is
convenient The landlord, the coal man
and even the sexton must be paid. but
the debt owing the minister is looked
