THE STATE FAIR.

I'VE are working hard to have a
good fair this fall but here Topeka
has the advantage over us Is in the
adequacy and permanency of the
equipment that has been establishs@
on the fair grounds here
A Hutchinson man visiting in this
city was overheard to make that re-
mark to a Topeka friend with whom
he was riding on a street car the other
evening. 1t tells in a few words the
reason why the state fair to be held
in Topeka this fall is going to be the
most superior agricultural exposition
in every detail and particular that has
ever been staged in Kansas.
Few Of the older and larger state
fairs in the entire country have any
more or better permanent buildings
for the display of all kirde of exhibits
than the Topeka fair will have when
it's gates are opened six weeks hence.
It is these facilities for the display Of
all kinds Of live stock ana other exhib-
its common to an agricultural exposi-
ton, coupled with a wonderful pre-
MUM list, that has attracted the atten-
ton of the fair exhibitors all over the
central west. That's why the entries
in all classes of exhibits are so nu-
merous. That's why the Topeka fair
is going to be the peer of any fair that
may be held in Kansas this year or
that has been held in any year of the
past.
It was a wise move when the people
of Topeka and the rest of Shawnee
county voted $4,000 a year ago to
make needed permanent improvements
on the fair grounds so that there would
be ample facilities for the creation of
a real fair. This sum, with similar
sum that was subscribed by the citi-
zens of Topeka for the same purpose
two years ago. together With the per-
manent Improvements that were al
lready on the grounds two years ago.

government some real regulatory au-
thority over this and other trusts. Not
so many years ago it was possible to
buy two ounces of ordinary smoking
tobacco for a nickel. Now two and
three-quarter ounces Of the same to-
bacco is sold for a dime. In the
meantime the production Of tobacco
has increased in proportion to the in
creased consumption. But the con-
Germs controlling the tobacco supply
and output of the country need the in
creased price to pay dividends on the
water In their capital stock. There is
nothing in the Sherman antitrust law
nor in the decisions of the supreme
court which can be used to squeeze
any water out of the stock of the To-
bacco or any other trust, whether it be
a reasonable one or an unreasonable
one, or to prevent the injection of
more water into their capital stocks.

While the rugged old martinez
frankly asserts his conviction that
CONSUMPTION is the only practicable
method of imparting to a great body
of young men the knowledge they
should possess that they may be quail
flied to respond at a moments notice
to the call of their country. more pru-
dent members of the military estab-
lishment realize that the day when
this country will consent to enforced
military service is at least far distant,
and they are entirely willing to devote
G portion of their attention to devils
ing some method whereby the same
end may be achieved by diplomatic
methods. Military training in the
schools, the establishment of re-
serve, consisting of young men who
for a given period have attended
drills and annual encampments OF two
weeks duration, and who receive a
small compensation, in return for
which they hold themselves always
ready to respond to the call of the
government, the registration of those
who have served for a term in the
state militia and the enlistment for
periods of six months in the regular
army are ali regarded as available for
training the necessary number of
young men. But something more
must be done toward the populariza-
ton of all of these.
When the time arrives when men
who can exhibit evidence of having
subjected themselves to such method
of military training find themselves
preferred by employers. and realize
that the time they have devoted to
fitting themselves for the service of
their country has not been wasted,
but, on the contrary. has made the
struggle for success somewhat easier
for them, the time when man will vol
unfairly seek such training will have
come. When the young college man
fears that he will be regarded as a
button which signifies that he has
made the rudiments of military SER
vice part of his education, little diff
ficu1ty will be encountered in inducing
young men to make the necessary ex-
ertion And it is along these lines
that the military authorities will
achieve the end for which they are
striving, rather than by advocating,
even in private, the adoption Of a sys-
tenn of conscription.-Geor @. Hill,
in the New York Tribune.

The presidential boom of Champ
clark shows persistent and increasing
vitality. Perhaps two-thirds of the
Democratic members of congress favor
Clark and their influence naturally ex-
tends to their constituents. Up to the
present time Speaker Clark has done
nothing to promote his interests He
says; The Democrats elected me to
the most responsible position they had
to give, and my duty is here, helping
the Democratic house to make good,
and am not going to neglect my duty
in order to go gallivantine around the
country seeking another Office
Clark comes from tho closest state
in the Union, a state carried by Roose-
welt and again in 1908 by 636 votes out
of 10000 cast. He is acceptable to

Cleveland wrecked his party by rea-
son of the fact that he did not know
how to work in harmony with con-
gress. Clark's supporters call atten-
ton to the fact that he has demon
strated that he can work IN perfect ac-
cord with his party in congress, while
to select a president without expert
ence of this kind would be trying again
the same experience.

rHr BILE AND rHE GRAY.

1t was a pleasant story that came
from Manassas. Va, yesterday, con-
corning the meeting of Union and Con-
federate veterans upon field where
they met in mortal combat forty years
ago. The soldiers, old and bowed, and
standing in the shadow of the gateway
TO the country of silence, looked upon
smiling landscape they had known
when it was red with the blood of
brave men; and the men who wore
the blue shook hands with those who
wore the gray, and bitter memories
were forgotten. They were fellow
countrymen and comrades.
If the patient eyes of Lincoln are
looking down upon us from any of the
shining spheres overhead, they must
have been aglow with happiness con-
temp1ating that reunion at Manassas.
It was something like this that he
prayed for, and he was doubly a mar
tyr in that he did not live to see 1t.
Great souls like Lincoln knew that We
are brothers and should be friends.
Souls of mustard seed dimensions, such
as sometimes We read of would have
us rake the ashes of dead hatreds and
passions, and keep the snoldering fires
alive.
It would be a pity, indeed, to see
the old warriors of this country still
arrayed against each other, half a
century after their quarrel was settled
In the first meeting at Manassas one
side was victorious. and the other was
defeated: in this latest meeting both
sides were Emporia Gazette

And the steel trust allows large re-

customers. This is quite as reprehensi-
BILE as rebating by the railroads. But
there is likely to be no law against
such rebating by big industrial cor
porations. unless the common law
against conspiracies might be applied
and that would be a tedious legal pro-
cedure. This condition of affairs is also
another argument for some legislation
