A CONFES SlON.


Sometimes at night, when I'm in bed
And all the lights are out,
/ think of bad things 1 have said
That no one knows about,
And | can seem to kind of hear
Things passin' through the air,
Now, say them If you dare!"
And often when it's night and
Can't go to sleep no more,
I get to thinkin' of some lie
told the day before.
And pretty soon 1t seems as though
There's somethin' standin' there
That whispers, as it's bendin' low:
Now, tell one, If you darei"
One time when father punished me
For something that / said,
1 hated him and wished that he
Would pretty soon be dead.
And then that night, why 1t came in,
Right through the dark somewhere,
And stood beside me, whisperin':
Now, wish it, If you dare!"
If there would never be no night,
And it was always day,
Or if they'd let you have light
To sleep by. anyway,
I guess that I would be about
The worst boy anywhere;
Because unless I'd get found out
I'd never haft to care.

Milwaukee, Wis, July Com
trary to opinions expressed earlier
in the week, the saengerfest was not
a financial failure, according to an
announcement of the committee.
Careful handling of the various
budgets has resulted in a material
saving, and receipts were larger than
at first expected.
The report of the financial COM
mittee showed that there will be a
balance of nearly $4,000 on the right
side of the ledger. A committee of

Into its well on that menora-
BILE July morning those heroic
forefathers dipped their quilts
as they signed the document
that made a new nation.
In the McCabe advertis-
ing many years ago was writ
ten a new declaration-a de-
claration of freedom from the
evils that had made merchan-
dising a by-word
The world has moved. A
great nation has grown to man
hood----and a great store is ex-
banding to the fullness of its
powers.
Now this home of splendid
merchandise is in the battle
for a still newer declaration--a
declaration of freedom from
senseless noise and dangerous
explosives on July 4th. A
common-sense Fourth of July.
A Fourth filled with good
things that go to make one
comfortable and happy is the
ideal of today.
Every facility of this. light,
convenient store is extended
to you to assist you in the
work of preparation.

Four days after the drawing Mr..

Tariff and PrlviIeue

Senator Borah in his speech against
Canadian reciprocity declared that he
objected to the attempt to settle the
trust question at the custom houses"
which leads the Indianapolis News to
retort:
No man can help much in the fight
against privilege who does not see
that our present tariff-made as 1t
was by the trusts-is a nest of privi-
lege. If that is SO. we think the at
tempt to settle the trust question at

now is that congress shall impose
duties, not as the representative OF
the trusts, but as the representative
OF the people. No people can be self

no people can be self-taxing which per-

Put Blame on the system

Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh
has sound reasons for fixing fines
upon smugglers and other violators of
the customs laws instead of imprison-
ment. He does not thing that impris-
onment is the better way to recover
the losses of money in frauds on the
revenues, or to punish those who COM
nit them. Another and more humane
reason is that the tariff system, with
its exorbitant duties, offers such great
temptations to violate it that offenders
should be treated with lenity. When
the tariff is reformed these tempta-
tons will cease and with them there
will be an end of the numerous prose
cutions for smuggling and fraudulent
valuations of imports that now occupy
the federal courts.

brand won't be the least bit like the old-time
event that awaited with more anticipation
than was bestowed even upon the Fourth of July
or the annual visit of the monster and mas
todonic united shows" Perhaps this cherished
idol OF youth may not have been a really and
truly county fair" for not all county fairs can
enjoy the prestige OF location at the county seat,
but after all, that is minor matter in the eyes
of the outsider and no man can ever be convinced
that the world ever held more important "agri-
cultural exposition" than the one at which as
youngster he exhibited his chickens or peddled
peanuts or sold scorecards.
That, as has been said the old-fasbioned county
fair hasn't been changed beyond recognition even
to this day. is all the more matter of surprise
when we take into account the revolutionary
changes that have taken place in other phases
OF rural life. The introduction of rural free de-
livery, for instance, has done away with the
necessity and the opportunity for those friendly
gatherings at the crossroads store when the farm
ers who drove over for the mail stole little
leisure in which to swap stories Similarly
photograph in every farm house has somewhat
dulled the appetite for those periodic concerts
at the little red school house. as the presence
on the roads of those tipping screeching automo.
bes has knocked all the romance out of those
buggy rides in the moonlight when old Dobbin
was allowed to find his own way and set his own
pace.
Not only has the county fair withstood the
ravages of time and the onslaught of modern
invention but in respects it has benefited
by lapse OF time. That is many a fair Of the
present day is vastly bigger and better than was
