STATE ART EXHIBIT
AT MINNESOTA FAIR
Eyes Of Art World Focused on
Gopher Exposition.

Five new spacious art galleries for
the accommodation of a quarter of a
million dollars worth of art subjects
from all parts of America have been
built at the Minnesota State Fair.
Experts declare the exhibit, Sept.
.7-12, will be superior to any fine art
exhibition held west of New York,
with the possible exception of ST..
Louis and Chicago.
The Minnesota State Art Society is
cooperating with the Fair in putting
on the exhibit. Maurice I. F'lagg, di-
rector of the State Art Society, de-
clares the annual state art exhibition
will be held at the Fair hereafter
The exhibit will include paintings and
examples of industrial art, sculpture,
handicraft, and other phases of art.
There will be nearly 10000 feet of
available wall space.
An International Jury will award
the prizes, which include $3.50 in cash
and two gold medals. Lectures and
demonstrations will be given each
day Of the Fair to explain to the thou
sands throng1ng the galleries the
principles underlying the exhibit. In
addition there will be shown twenty
seven farm home plans, thirty-fve
model farmyard landscape designs,
and fifty excellent designs for model
village houses.

Surrendered Rights Never .Regained.
(Martinsburg Pioneer Press

(Martinsburg Pioneer Press.)
Editor Dabney, of the Cincinnati,
Ohio Union, like Hon. H. G. Smith of
the old reliable Gazette of Cleveland
is up in arms against sprouting caste
in his city. Right you are, that rights
surrendered are seldom regained.
Your contention that a few teachers
salaries amount to nothing compared
to the cowardlessness of the men and
women mixed schools give us is true.
Our early life was spent in the schools
OF Chicago, never sitting by the side
OF children of darker color Leaving
that city and going south to teach,
about ten years later we returned to
Chicago and going to the Appellate
Court, found our class and seat mate;
Mr.. Frank Lane, head clerk over more
than hundred clerks. We embraced
each other and before all of the clerks
he wept with Joy and said to his first
assistant: my place, for John
and I are going to paint the old town
red today He got his buggy and
took us over all of our prank grouno-,
and .! what time we had that day.
One of the old teachers threw her
arms around us, and many of the then
boys were then men in various kinds
OF business and all greeted us, and
Mrs. Curtin, one of the noblest and
sweetest women Chicago ever owned,
and for whom the whole city mourned
by order of authority, wept, and
greeted us as mother would her
long gone and returned son. Mix the
schools, for there is no color in heaven.

GROWTH OF DRUG Habit,
Prohibtionists Pay Little Attention t
Countrv's Serious Menace

Prohibitionists Pay Little Attention to
Country's Serious Menace.
Duluth, Mimi, Aug.-Commenting
IN the accumulation of evidence that
the drug habit is growing at an ap-
palling rate in this country, the Duluth
Herald of August 18th says editorially:
1T is claimed that this country uses
more opium than China, and that it has
become the chief market of the world
for this deadly drug.
Drugs kill more people than whis-
key, and kill them in a more dreadful
way. They kill the soul long before
they kill the body. They kill the con-
science and turn human beings into
fiends. They corrode moral faculties,
and kill lingeringly, terribly.
Half the enthusiasm and zeal put
into the prohibition movement would
slay the drug evil.
"Yet there is much enthusiasm and
zeal for the prohibition movement and
very little interest in the drug men
ace.
"Why?"

St Paul, Mimi, August-state Off
Gals who are all interested in the
question express little faith in the
claim of the Anti-Saloon league that
Mlnnesota's next legislature will be
for County Option. One official ex-
pressed his view by saying that for
ten years, preceding every election,
the league has made similar claims
and that the results have never ap-
preached the boasts.
Attorney F. w. Zollman, who has
followed conditions closely for several
years, says that the leagues claim
ILLS year differs from its predeces-
sors only in the fact that it is more
cunnlngly devised and that, like those
OF the past, it is covert appeal to
the men, women and children to turn
; their dollars, half-dollars quarters and
dlmes into the capacious nav of the
league, and to attempt to start band
wagon movement. Mr.. Zollman said:
Il have sufficient knowledge of con-
dltlons to know that the fair-minded
people of the state will hold both the
senate and House in line against the
un"Amerscan doctrine of one.sided
County Option-a subterfuge whereby
license communities can be made pro-
hlbition through the interference of
outside prohibition communities, while
prohibition communities can maintain

STOCK SHOW TO Be
BIGGEST EVER HELD
Animals Worth Million Coming
to Minnesota State Fair.

There is every indication that the
livestock show at the Minnesota
State Fair, Sept. 7-12, will be the
largest one ever held in the North
west, even exceeding in size and ag-
gregate value the one of last year.
Over one million dollars worth of
pure-bred stock from all parts of the
world will be assembled. Beginning
on Monday, the opening day, a score
of judges of international reputation
will begin Judging in the Livestock
Pavilion, the Swine Barn, and the
Sheep Barn. In the evening of each
day gigantic livestock parade of
horses and cattle from the leading
studs and herds at the Fair will be
held at the evening Horse Show in
the Htppodrome.
Gigantic Horse Show.
AS a result Of an increase of $4,000
In the awards for horses, the very
cream Of the stables of America will
be exhibited in both light and draft
classes. There will be a large num-
Der of both native and imported
horses shown. Among them will be
some Of the blue ribbon winners at
the leading shows here and abroad
last year. A special effort will be made
to encourage local breeders to show.
Last year the Dairy Cattle Show
was one of the largest held in the
New World. There is such interest
In dairy stock in the Northwest that
an unusually large exhibit will be
made this year. Local breeders will
carry away much of the prize money.
The Beef Cattle Show will include
many animals certain to win highest
honors at the Chicago international
livestock Exposition. There will be
a Fat Stock Show as usual.
A Large Futurity.
Due largely to the arrangement for
a 5000 Poland-Chi Futurity Show
for Minnesota classes, the Swine
Show will be the best ever held in
the Northwest, unless something un-
foreseen happens. The Minnesota
State Fair is to guarantee $3.50, while
the American Poland China Breeders
Association is to give the balance.
The Sheep Show has always been
a large one. Minnesota farmers are
paying more attention to sheep than
ever before, and those in charge be-
lieve that this interest will result in
an unusually large Show. The lead
ing importers will exhibit the pick of
their focks. Generous premiums are
offered to Minnesota classes.

LYNCHERS' CORPS.

War devastates Europe. The "Chris-
tian" emperors have ordered the fool
poor people to go out and kill one an
other and after attending church where
their swords are blessed by the priests
and they pray to God for success, the
massacre starts.
THE APPEAL wishes to call the
attention of the murder-mad monarciis
to the possibility of forming an army
corps in this country, which for eff
cheney in it's chosen line would make
the most fero.ious, blood-thirsty and
inhuman generals look like lot of
pikers.
Why not organize a "Lynchers'
Corps?" Let it be under the supreme
command of Governor Cole L. Blease,
of South Carolina. Senator Ben Till
man, also of South Carolina, the man
who boasted in the United States
Senate that Afro-Americans were
killed because they tried to exercise
their rights as free men, would be an
ideal man for chief of staff. Ben is
a great "Christian" and 1t Is said that
he knows more about the Bible than
any other Senator.
Senator Vardaman, that great "Chris-
tian" who has devoted his life to the
undoing of colored brethren; Senator
Williams also of Mississippi, whose re-
cent speech in Congress was more bit
ter than his colleagues against one
half of the residents of his state, and
Senator Hoax Smith, whose news
paper contributed much to cause the
Atlanta riot, are just the men for
rigadier-Generals.
Frank Clark of Florida, Charles
Gordon Edwards of Georgia, both
authors Of segregation bills, Congress-
man Hardwick of Georgia, whose spe-
cialty is repeal of fifteenth amendment
legislation; James T. Hef1in of Ala
bama, author of the jimcrow street
car bill; Martin Dies Of Texas, noted
segregationist; are all "Christians,"
have a bitter hatred against their
co-religionists of other colors and are
eminently qualified for places as gen.
erals.
THE APPEAL suggests that Frank
Park, of Sylvester, Georgia, another
