The Practical Man" Again.

While it supplied certain new
details of relatively minor inn
portance the testimony OF ex-
Governor B. B. 0dell, Jr., con
corning the Hartman episode in
the 1904 campaign is interesting
and useful, as it further cor
roborates evidence already know
and believed.
The letter of the late f. II.
Hartman to the late Sydney
Webster set forth in detail the
story Of his visit to the White
House at the invitation of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, then President of
the United States, to discuss the
State campaign in New York,
Mr.. Harriman's subsequent ac-
tiyity, the $4,000 he raised
and turned over to the Republi-
can National Committee, if ex-
Governor Odell's memory is cor
rect, are facts so well establish
ed as to need little corroboration.
But eX-GOvernOr Odell's testi-
mony serves the valuable pur-
pose of recording an interesting
and characteristic episode in the
career Of a man who his most
ardent supporters now proclaim
has oddly changed in spirit and
purpose since he described both
Mr.. Hartman and himself as
practical men," in a refresh
ingly frank communication.
One detail Of Ex-Governor
Odell' s testimony is worth not
ing. 1t is the testimony of a
living man. Not until Webster
and Hartman were both dead
did Colonel Roosevelt become vo-
cal on this subject and then
through the agency of the Hon.
George R. Sheldon. AS ex-GOv-
ernor O'dell's evidence confirms
all other public records of this
little incident save Mr.. Sheldon's
contribution, it is probable that
the public jury will accept Mr.
Odell's own characterization of
conflicting testimony.
The facts are hat Theodore
Roosevelt thought New York
State was doubtful and request
ed the late Z. II. Hartman to
raise a quarter of a million to
avert the peril whether the
National or State Committee re-
ceived the money, what ancillary
bargain Colonel Roosevelt made
over the Senatorial election, are
minor although not uninterest-
ing details.
The chief value of Mr.. Odell's
testimony is not that it confirms
but that it recalls a fact.-New
York Sun.

Missouri State Fair at Sedalia
September % to October
4, 1912.


4, 1912.
The Twelfth Annual Exhibition
of the Missouri State Fair prom
ises to be better than any Of the
previous exhibitions. The edu-
cational features of the Fair are
stronger than ever. Every visi-
tor at the Fair goes away bene-
fitted. While it is necessary to
have amusement features to
make a well rounded program
for a State Fair, the Board Of
Directors feels that the educa-
tional features should be made
prominent in every department
and the amusement features in
cidental.
The best Live Stock Show of
any State Fair in the United
States is the record established
at the Missouri State Fair. This
record will not be lowered this
year and the exhibitions of Cat
tie, Heavy and Light Horses,
Swine, Sheep and Poultry viii
be larger than in former years
and the best herds in America
viii be seen in the show rings.
1t is a million Dollar Live
Stock Show.
Additional space has been
provided for the Missouri School
Exhibits. There viii be on exhi-
bition splendid exhibits from
country and city schools from
all over the state. The State
superintendent of Education is
in charge of these exhibits.
Other features that will appeal
to the State Fair visitors will
be the Ant i-Tuberculosis Exhi-
bits, the exhibits showing meth
DDS of prevention of the spread
of disease and the Pure Food
Show. The curatOrs of the
Missouri State University have
arranged for a better education
al exhibit at the Missouri State
Fair this year than ever. The
University will occupy one en-
tire building which is known
as art University Building. All
the Normal Schools Of the state
and the School of Mines will
install splendid exhibits.
EVERYBODY wants to see the
harness and running races at
the State Fair and Speed Pro-
gram this year is much better
arranged and more horses are
entered in each race than in
any previous year. Good, clean
racing interests State Fair Wis
