Our rivers give up the finest of pearls. We are one of the largest producers and shippers of yellow pine lumber in the union, ranking third.
 with all these facts the state. however, is in crude and undevel- oped state. We have more inland naYigable rivers than any other state which bears out the statement that we have more fertile lands, some oi which equals the famous valley oi the Nile.
 Our school tax is the highest ir the United States in proportion tC our population, than any other state which proves that We are not an ig- rofant people, but are fast becoming a highly educated state.
 Tn conclusion, wish to thank you for your kind attention. But to go back to the main question, which is: How are we going to let the people of the United States know what we have hidden within the borders of this great state? We know it. but we must let others know it. To my way of thinking, that question is not a hard one to answer. but an easy one.

 Thursday. May 30th, being Decor. - tion Day, the celebration universally of which is in patriotic tribute to the dead of our people, and particularly to the heroes of our various wars, and since the local patriotic organiza- tons have shown a material interest in the occasion and arranged for that day program in keeping with the sentiment of the occasion, I hereby proclaim half holiday on the after noon of May 30, with the urgent re- quest to our business houses and cit izens generally that they refrain from labor on that day and join with the organizations in a general tribute of respect to our dead.

precision. But half the time the ground
Is invisible for lack Of sunlight, and
much Of the remainder Of tho time It Is
obscured by clouds through or over
which the balloon is drifting. Thus
balloonist gets only occasional views of
the earth and must patch his informa-
ton together as best he can and locate
himself by means of infreQuent land
marks, the identity of which is somewhat
a matter of speculation. Considering the
fact that he sees everything from great
height, at which elevations make practi-
cally no impression whatever on the eye.
it is really remarkable how the balloon
LIST can place himself at all. He must
trace his course chiefly by rivers and
cities, and even the latter are not surely
identifiable unless they are peculiarly 10
Gated with reference to the water courses

such circumstances gas-bag progression

is small confidence that 1t will ever enter

Ballooning.

Local interest In ballooning as a sport
l. somewhat stimulated by tho fact that
the successful gas bag In the elimination
race for the selection of an American
contestant In the International contest
which starts at Stuttgart next October
landed a few miles west Of this city. But
this interest can never rise to very
high pitch. for IL IS now commonly ac-
ceptcd that baliooninS is a poor sort OF
sport, with skill under Il heavy handi-
cap. To small extent the balloonist
can control his fortunes by the exercise
OF judgment In rising or failing to take
advantage of slants Of air that he may
believe to exist above or below him. But.
after ALL the general prevalence Of the
wind governs his situation. In one mat
ter however, the balloonist may show
that touch OF personal quality that makes
for successful flying, and this appears
III the present case. although the balloon
that landed at Manassas distanced all
competitors and gained the coveted hon
or OF selection as the American repre-
sentative In the international races. The
pilot Of the winning balloon was vir-
tually lost. He thought he was over
Pennsylvania, while he was drifting over
Virginia. He sighted the waters Of the
Chesapeake bay and mistook them for
those of the Delaware bay. and concluded
that he was too close to the sea to war
rant further procedure. Had he known
his exact position he would have been
able safely to cross the Chesapeake and
proceed approximately 12o miles farther
east. bringing his total air line score up
to over 1850 miles from the starting
point. Even though he did not cross the
Chesapeake he could have made fully
fifty miles moro and closely approached
the Cherished l.Oo0-mi!e point.
1t is by no means discreditable 70
balioonist to be unable to identify his
position. II he could see the ground at
all times during his flight he could un-
doubtedly be able to chart his route with

Mr.. Wilson Treading Warily.

Woodrow Wilson is learning his trade.
Caution appears, and a desire to keep in
the middle of the road.
His polite declination to advise his
friends in the House about their program
was good stroke. 1t was not his funer-
al. 1t most distinctly was theirs. They
had been elected to handle the questions
over some Of which they had come to
differ among themselves, and he wisely
decided to let them have it out without
word from him. At any rate. he did
not speak at the time solicited.
| Next week they may get pointer or
two But indirectly. He will speak then
on the issues of the day in response to the
formal notification OF his nomination for
President. and what he says about the
| tariff. the trusts and the navy may have
a bearing action still to be taken on
| those questions by the House.
Now he declines TO NEEDLE In state af-
fairs about factional differences. The
state leaders must look to those things
He is the party's national leader. and as
such will have his hands full of national
affairs. A good decision, well worth
sticking to.
These and other things show that Mr..
Wilson is taking no chances. even with
every body around him in a state Of SUI
preme confidence. This man is pledging
the vote of one state, and that man Of an
other. As represented to the candidate
by visitors. the election Is a dead open
and shut. He cannot possibly lose. But
the candidate remains cautious. He is
keeping his head in the midst OF the
tumult and the shouting
Later, Mr.. Wilson may take full charge
After election day, say, if he wins. AT
this time there are factions. and he wants,
and needs. the support of all. AS Mr.
Cleveland looked In 1892, Mr.. Wilson Is
now looking to protection democrats and
revenue tariff democrats. to Tammany
men and anti-Tammany men, to Wall
street and anti-Wall street for votes. He
cannot afford to play favorites while the
battle is on.
But with the reins in his hands he may
change his tactics. Mr.. Cleveland had to
do SO. did SO, and ditched the carryall
Mr.. Wilson does not lack for self-con-
fldence or assertion. He has shown as
much on a local stage. and why not on
the national stage: Ii he lands it wall
be as the leader, not SO much of the
democratic party, of a combination OF
men OF several parties, all trusting to him
for a happy issue out of all their afI1ic-
tons And if he fails ITO provide that,
great will be the general woe.

"Psychological' Democrats.

The present democratic warfare in New
York state on Tammany Hall Is. as the
Rooseveltians would say, for psychic
logical effects" 1t is not genuine. 1t Is
intended to deceive.
Tammany, of course. is a thoroughly
rotten organization. 1t has long been
SO. The respectable portion of its MEM
bership is comparatively small. Its
power is in its numbers. and the scum
Of the town makes up its rank and file.
Whenever New York city has been con-
yulsed by scandal in its public affairs.
Tammany has exercised large. If not full,
powers. The trail of the tiger has been
over all
At Baltimore the other week Tammany
was a source of shame to many demo-
Gratis. and it's support source Of weak
ness to Champ Clark. Its championship OF
Mr.. Clarks candidacy gave Mr.. Bryan
one of his excuses for Hopping to Mr.
Wilson at the psychological moment.
and thereby inaugurating the movement
that led to Mr.. Wilson's nomination.
The flop was not creditable to Mr.. Bryan,
for he had three times himself trained
with Tammany, but many delegates did
not see the thing that way and followed
him into the wilson camp
Largely because Of the Baltimore cpl
sode. certain New York democrats. who.
like Mr.. Bryan. have trained with Tam
many, are now in the field against the
organization, and demanding its subordi-
nation in the party affairs OF the state.
Mr.. Murphy as leader must go. A
higher grade man must take his place.
And so on.
This is very poor and ineffective "psy-
chology" II will deceive very few, if
anybody. If these men were in real
earnest-had more in mind than mere
political play. by which they themselves
hope to proft-they would propose the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Tammany. or some
step which would put the organization
out of business.
But they well understand that demo-
cratic success in New York is never
possible without Tammany's assistance.
If Tanmany We're to fall under blue
funk this year. what would be Mr.. Will
sons chances for carrying the state? And
if any other sort of man than Mr.. Muir
ply were made leader, what chance
would there be for keying Tammany up
to concert pitch?
This is an old game Psychology as
applied to politics goes back to the be-
of politics. But when given
away by players. or discovered by the
opposition. 1t accomplishes nothing. Mr..
candidacy is based upon IL,
and therefore will fail. This warfare
upon Tammany Is based upon II, and
therefore Will fail. Meanwhile. Tammany,
in its way, is for Wilson. and cares not
a rap for all the hullabaloo of its demo-
cratic opponents ''psychologizing' for
effects
