The work of erecting the tents of a
great circus is always an interesting &
sight. Hundreds were on hand and
marveled at the speed with which the
show men dispatched their work.
Every man appeared to know just what
to do. There were no halts or perplex-

Within an hour after the first wagon

The first part of the circus exhibit
today was the street parade. Promptly
at 1880 o'clock this morning the
pageant left the show grounds. There
was a blare of brass, deep, low rum
bic of drums and shrill piping of
flies and the monster circus parade
moved forward. There were scores of
dens and cages filled with rare speci-
mems of animals, many of which were
open to the public. What was prac-
tically pleasing was the freshness and
newness of everything.
Military bands and a calliope fur

The suggestion of Governor Will

TOUGH ON THE CONSUMER.

Governor Wilson went to the heart
of the tariff as cost of living issue
when he said recently:
The price of meat has gone up 80
and 40 per cent in ten years in this
country, and the price of American
meat has not gone mp fraction of a
cent a pound in London markets. -
1t IS hard for the consumer in this
country to understand these conditions.
The fact of the matter is that ship
pers to Europe have to compete with
the meat markets of Argentine, .
against which markets we have a
protective tariff of 30 per cent.
"This continued tariff plundering of
the market basket can go on, or it
can be stopped as the victims which
choose to stop it" says the World.

THE AGONY OVER.

Another Great Tazewell Fair has
come and gone The Fair this year
was successful from many points of
view, Notwithstanding the fact that
the gate receipts were hot as large
as might have been, or should have
been. One striking feature of the
Fair this year is the increasing in
terest taken in things agricultural.
Many of the leading farmers who
have heretofore taken little interest
in the display of farm products. have
awakened to the fact that discussion
and comparison of products is bene-
fetal to them in many ways. The far
mer or grazier who "'knows it ALL
is not rs numerous now as he used to
be. He is now giving his brother
credit with Knowledge of certain
phases of farming that is beneficial to
him and all who accept and practice
his experience. The successful rals-
ing of alfalfa and other products
thought to be impossible in this coun-

CONDITION WORLD DISCLOSES

A series of articles appearing in
the New York World on the iniquities
of the tariff disclose conditions that
are interesting. A canvass of the
New York dry goods stores was made,
the investigator finding that a tariff
price of from twenty to one hundred
per cent. was added to many of the
articles of dry goods worn by the
common people. Several cases are
cited where the New England mills
sell their products abroad twenty five
to fifty per cent cheaper than the
same goods are sold in the United
States. The Democratic platform.
adopted at Baltimore, is designed to
cure this evil, and force the manufac-
turer to sell to home consumers as
cheaply as to the foreign trade.
Many other citations are given to
show how the corporations are profit
ing at the expense of the people be-
cause of the high protective tariff.

THE STATE ELECTION IN MAINE
(New York Sun, (Rep)

The Republicans have elected Will
lam T. Ilaincs, their candidate for
governor in Maine by small but
decisive plurality, estimated at about
5000. This must be accounted re
pudiation of Governor Plaisted's adj
ministratIon after nearly two years of
| trial under what seemed to be espec-
tally favorable conditions.
For the Republican party the elec-
ton in Maine has no national si,niii-
canoe lat least no bearing upon the
Presidential contest. because the Re
publicans made their campaign main
~. if not almost entirely. upon State
issues, and for the additional lcason
| that the supporters of President Taft
and the Progrcssives buried the hatch
ct and patched up Il trace To redeem
the State administrators. from the
Democrats.
AT Chicago the Maine delegates
refused to vote when they realized
that Mr.. Taft would be nominated.
and upon their return home it was as
sumed that Progressive State ticket
would be put in the field 1t was
deemed, however, the better part of
valor to unite for the regular Repub-
licans upon tine State, legislative and
Congress tickets and postpone the ir-
rerressible internecine strife between
the factions until after the September
election. What credit there may be
in the election of the Republican can
didate for governor both sides may
claim, but it cannot be apportioned.
In the State campaign the Republican
party was not divided to the eye and
to the ear, but its pulse beat was ir-
regular, denoting disqueting fcbrilc
conditions.
The Democrats in Maine made their
campaign on national as well as on
the State issues, and unlike the Re-
publicans imported many orators and
leaders of national reputation. They
fully expected to repeat their triumph
of 1910, when they elected Plaisted
'C'SiHcA ~ Vi 100,
captured two representatives in the
Congress and carried the legislature,
thus gaining United States Senator
for the party Although they have
lost the governorship and will be
lucky if full returns show that they
have saved their two Representatives,
they can point with consoling salts
faction to the small Republican plur-
atty for governor in a Presidential
year when the Republican party
seems hopelessly divided, Indicating
success in the national election in
November. if precedent counts for
anything.
Skeptics will be referred to 1892.
when the Republican plurality in Sep
TENDER fell to II, SOB, and the cleo
ton of MIR. Cleveland followed, the
Republicans having a plurality of
only ID, 979, in November. Against
this, however, could be set the fact.
If other things were equal, that in
1904 the Republican plurality for
governor was only 8, 064, the yet in
the Presidential election it rose to
36, 807 However the September
election in Maine this year may be
viewed as political weather gauge
1T can hardly be questioned that a
plurality of less than 5000 encour-
ages the Democratic party to believe
that it will cary the State for Cover
nor Wilson in November.
