AS I said the state fair is now but
a memory, bu, it promises just the
same to go down in history as a rec
ord breaker f'om the standpoint of
attendance. The first day was q
corker. One VIII have to admit,
though, that i it was not for patron
age from the ities the fair would not
pay. On N0Islay, which was Labor
day, over 100000 people attended the
fair and the majority were from the
cities. The elimination of the pass
and the consequent increase in rev
enue has broight cne thing to the
front and that is the admission fee OF
SO cents should be reduced. The state
fair is supposed to be educational, not
mere amusement. In the past the tax
payers have poured NJ lions of dollars
into it's coffets and there is no reason
why those who desire to see the re-
sources of the state should not be al
lowed to do so for nominal sum.
One farmer who attended the fair
with his family told me it cost him
exactly S. for admission and a like
sum was contributed to the grand
stand Besides he paid his railroad
and hotel fare, not to speak of other
incidentals, which brought the whole
up to sun in excess of $40.

BUSY WEEK IN
POLITICAL LINE
Strenuous Seven Days Among
the Candidates.
BIG CROWDS SEE ROOSEVELT
CoIonePs Reception in Twin Cities on
Par With Previous Efforts
in That Line.
BIG CROWDS SEE ROOSEVELT.
Especial Correspondence

st. Paul, Sept. 9.-The big Bull
Moose" has come and gone, the state
fair is only a memory, trouble has
broken out in the Democratic organ
izatiOn ranks, discord threatens the
woman's suffrage movement in the
state and the candidates for state
offices are hustling as they never did
before. The primaries, you know,
take place Sept. II. All this and more
politically represents the weeks do
ings and in some respects they go to
make up as strenuous a seven days
work period as the politicians have
seen in years. Colonel Roosevelt's
visit to the Twins, as far as the cor
diality of his reception was concerned,
was on par with previous efforts.
Thousands saw and heard him at the
state fair grounds. For an hour and
under burning sun he labored in the
characteristic Roosevelt way and the
thousands who also broiled cheered
him to the echo. In Minneapolis as
big a crowd lined the streets along
which he passed and crowded the
West hotel in an effort to get near
him. If anything he received
heartier reception in Minneapolis
than he did in st. Paul. The crowds
were not so demonstrative in the Cap
ital City. The reception here had one
noticeable feature. The big fellows
were conspicuous by their absence.
!. !. j.
Hope beat high in the breasts of
some of the opposition to the state
Republican organization that the colo
mel would pick out for caustic mention
those high in it's councils and sug-
gest their defeat through the medium
of the field that is hard on Governor
Eberhart's heels, but they we're disap-
pointed. He studiOusly avoided any
reference to the state game or those
concerned. The Progressive commit
tee of fifty, whose job is to see that
Roosevelt electors are named and that
Progressive ticket is put in the field
in the event of victory for the enemy
at the primaries, received his approx
al. Though the committee attended
the reception given Mr. Roosevelt he
did not discuss state plans with them.
In the opinion Of the state Bull
Moosers" the colonel's visit to the
fair has strengthened his cause in
Minnesota, but that remains to be
seen. AS far as yours truly is con-
cerned close observation compels the
| frank statement that Wilson has
much larger following in Minnesota
! than some think.

The sport of cockH%Atin& seems to
have originated with Themistocles Of
Greece. When he was leading au army
against the perSians he noted two
cocks in a desperate battle. To slim

pointed out the bravery, of birds, and,
having won his battle with the Per-
slams, he ordered that an annual cock
fight should be held to celebrate his
victory. In England the records show

Governor Eberhart is not "Bull
Mooser'-I will be willing to wager
that his vote when cast will be for
the Taft eleetors-but he danced at
tendance upon the colonel in st. Paul
and Minneapolis last week in a way
that attracted general attention. His
eXcellency was determined that one
of the first citizens of the land should
have all that was coming to him in
the way of official courtesy and he
was there from the start He was the
first to meet him at the depot, rode
with him, saw him safely to the fair
grounds and broke bread with him at
the evening luncheon No, there is
nothing wrong with Governor Eber-
hart when he wants to do things.
Some people may think him slow and
colorless. but le has a happy faculty
of being on the job when needed.

HIT CONTRACT LABOR
Prison Heads Think convicts
Should Work for State.
Some Of Subjects Should Be Trained,
Others Used for Gain, Is Idea AID
vanced In Reports Given at
JaiIers' Congress.

Baltimore.-The contract system Oh
prison labor was condemned In the
report of the committee on prison Ia
Dor presented at the congress OF the
American Prison association In annual
session here. The committee. how
ever. recommended the system when
no other means of employment could
be provided. believing 1t preferable to
idleness.
The employment of prisoners. the
report maintained, should bs directed
entirely by the state and the products
of this labor should be disposed OF by
the state.
The first consideration OF every or
ganization, the report continued.
should be the training of the prisoner.
and, after that, financial results. Ev-
cry prison should be so classified that
a certain group of men should at all
times be provided with work on farms,
roads and other outside work. and
larger portion of each prison should
be employed on the state account sys-
| tenn.
The committee believed 1t possible
for every state having population OF
two million inhabitants or more TO en-
ploy all it's convict population In the
manufacture of articles for the use OF
state and its political divisions

FIVE MONTHS SPORT OF SEAS
oil Barge WoodhalI, Long Believed
Lost, Arrives at Trinidad, Accord
Ing to Message.

New York.-After battling for five
months on seemingly shipless ocean.
Capt. Edwin l.. Smith of London has
arrived at Trinidad with the fifty-five
foot oil barge Woodhall, from Eng
lish shipyards. according to word re-
ceiyed by friends here. Smith dared
to pilot the little barge on her peril
GUS trip, which was proposed to save
the expense of towing, where a dozen
other London shippers feared to try
it. 1t was expected that the trip could
be made In forty days. but she met
adverse weather and was the sport OF
the seas. In the meantime the boat
had been given up as lost.
According to the report received
here the captain found an American
stowaway. on board, who helped to de-
plete the meager supply of provis-
ions. During the last few days the
crew had to live on biscuit and half
q cup of fresh water day, as they
