Commerce TO become a part of the
City Beautifcation Committee.
This they did and If The editor of
the Journal was to take poll of the
delegates of the Central body he
would fud that the reason given is
not the only one by any mears.
The delegates have many reasons
and some of them are founded on
facts. If the city Beauti6cation
committee has only ONE PUR-
POSE the making of Hamilton a
more attractive city for all to live
in, all we'll and good and the labor
unions should be heart and soul in
the movement ard do all they can
to make it possible As we have
said before the delegates became
"skeptical' and this being a fact
we can assure you that 1t is no
fault of their own. If you can re-
member back a short time ago the
Chamber of Commerce did use It's
officers and influence to elect Ger
tain candidates and amongst them
were two candidates picked from
the delegates of the Central body
The results of this election is still
fresh In the mird ds of the trade un-
ionists ard this is one of the rea-
sons why they have become "skep-
tical. )" There is also a movement
on foot in this city and has been
for some time to turn the city over
to a new form of government which
the delegates will oppose without
doubt. The following are few
more reasons aud questions that
were asked In the last meeting of
Trades Council:
Why are we asked bv the Cham
Der Of Commerce to take part In
this movement?
What has the Chamber of Com
merce ever done for the labor un-
ions?
Have they assisted us in time of
trouble
Did they help us in the late ma
chinists' strike?
What are they doing to help the
molders who are on strike at the
East Hamilton Foundry, the Peer
less Foundry and the Miami
Foundry
The majority of delegates in the
Central body are heartily in favor
of beautifyipg the city and would
do all in their power to make this
possible, but the nature of politics
in this city has been so keen and

Committee Trying To
Gust Hine.

Molders' Union that Hime testified
before the court that the foundry
was paying him for his services as
pilot fer the strike breakers. The
committee is now looking up the
law and will make further report
to the Central body next Tuesday
night. A meeting is also being ar
ranged by some of the members of
the Humane Society and we are
positive that some action will be
taken to remove the humane officer
from his position. The law reads
that only one humane officer in a
county can draw money for his
services. The committee also finds
tha: R. N. Hutchinson, of Oxford
Is the original Humane Officer for
the County but through political
friends of Hime he was successful
in securing the money. The COM
nittee will not be content until
they have found out the methods
and the workings of the Butler
County Humane Society and Its
officer.
Respectfully submitted.

The committee appointed at the
last meeting of Trades Council TO
look up the matter of Sam Hime

more than one job dc hereby make
a partial report to the trades union
lists IF the city of Hamilton and vi
cinity. On Wednesday morning
the committee waited on the Coun-
ty Commissioners and while they
were in consultation regarding the
Humane Society, Hime was sent
for and attended the meeting.
Hime was asked if he was working
for individuals while holding the
position as humane officer but he
would not answer the question.
The committee met egain Thurs
day and has been very busy looking
up members of the Humane Society
and through them we believe we
have struck pay dirt. The mem
bers of the society informed us that
the society has not held a meeting
in two years and that they are
members in rame only.
Hime receives $50 per month
from the county and $40 from
the city. The committee has

THE STATE FAIR

The State Fair at Hutchinson is
conducted by the State Board Of Ag-
riculture and the grounds are owned
by the State, the same as any of the
other public institutions. The State
Fair will be held from September
18th to 23rd, inclusive. It's purpose
is education and entertainment. 1t
is one of the newer public institutions
of Kansas, but is founded on the good
will and the reputation of the fair
that had been held in Hutchinson
for fourteen years. All the money
that had been made by the old asso-
citation was put in grounds, buildings
and equipment, which the state Sc
cured under provisions of the State
Fair act. In other words the people
have builded. and made the Kansas
State Fair success. 1t is now the
peoples institution the same as 1t is
the State Normal, State Agricultural
College or State University. AS such
institution the people of the state are
interested in its upbuilding.
Kansas is entitled to as great a
State Fair equipment and all consid-
cred as any of the other great agri-
cultural states. Practically every
state in the Union now not only has
State Agricultural College but also
O State Fair where people can learn
more, considering the cost in time
and money, than in any other way.
1t is especially adapted for children
and younger people Of impressionable
age, because Of hte ideas they get
from the models they see in the form
of exhibits. They see that which
touches the interests of practically
every individual in the State, whether
it is something adjoining the home,
for use in the fields, or representative
of the breeders art. There is enter
tainment galore and something doing
all the time, day and night. Every
body is invited to exhibit and every
body is invited to attend. 1t is hoped
that each will make the most of his
opportunity for his business, welfare
and pleasure.

This measure will conduce to the es-
Establishment Of more effective highway
machinery in each state, strongly in

building along right lines, stimulate
larger production and better market

IL. 1t was essential, however, that
banking machinery be devised which

which would introduce business meth
DDS into farm finance, bring order out
Of chaos, reduce the cost Of handling
farm loans, place upon the market
mortgages which would be safe in
vestment for private funds, attract in
to agricultural operations fair share
Of the capital Of the nation, and lead
to a reduction of interest. These needs
and these ideals have been met by
the enactment of the Federal Farm
Loan Act.
I am glad to have had an opportunity
to take part In the execution Of this
large program, which, believe, will
result In making agriculture more pro-
fitable and country life more confront
able, and attractive, and, therefore, in
sure the retention in rural districts of
an efficient and contented population.

WHEN NATURE RESTS

While there are no times or sea-
sons of the year when Nature takes
a complete rest from her labors and
folds her arms as if in sleep, yet dur
ing the hot days of August, when the
sun is shining its brightest, when
the earth becomes parched and dry,
there is little for her to do and, like
the children of the earth, she does as
little as possible. The grain has rip
ened, the flowers have passed the
highest state of their beauty, the
foliage and verdure show signs of the
heat, the fruits have reached their
perfection and with the garnering of
the crops come the days that bring a
restful calm to Nature and to man as
well.-Baltimore American.

MEXICO is COMING BACK.
Saved From Conquest, Il Is Working
Out Its Own Destiny.

Encouraging news continues tO
come from Mexico, and the TRADES
of President Wilson's critics grow
tanner all the while. Mexico has seen
much misfortune, has borne many
trials, has experienced many tragedies
but there is a buoyancy to the present
situation that gives cheer to friends
of that long-suffering republic.
Americans, coming from that coun,
try, bring optimistic assurances. They
declare that there is much better gov.
eminent there than for many years
that Carranza money is increasing in
value, that business is picking up and
that law is being respected.
The New York Evening Sun, Re
publican newspaper, which usually
criticises everything President Will
son does, is compelled to recognize the

improving, confidence in Carranza

A TRUE PROGRESSIVE

Judge Albert D. Nortoni, the Mis-
souri, Progressive chieftain hereto
fore intimately associated with
Roosevelt and other Progressive lead
ers, and candidate for governor of
Missouri on the Progressive ticket in
1912, has announced his support of
President Wilson and will take an
active part in the campaign. He has
resigned from the Missouri Appellate
Court, to which he was elected for a
twelve-year term as Republican, so
that he can consistently support the
Democratic candidate.
Judge ;Nortoni says that Wilson
has demonstrated real Progressive
ideals, while Hughes is typical New
York lawyer welded to the ideas of
Big Business. He contrasts the fed
eral reserve law, the rural credits
law, the child labor law, the proposed
scientific tariff commission and the
shipping bill, all Wilson measures,
with Hughes opposition as governor
of New York to the income tax
amendment and his veto of the two
cent fare rate bill, and the total lack,
as evidenced by his speeches, of any
real constructive program.
Judge Nortoni asserts that a great
many true Progressives, resenting the
betrayal of the party by former Bull
Moose leaders, will support Wilson.

WILSON A PROGRESSIVE
BEFORE PARTY WAS BORN

Eighteen months before the
birth Of the Progressive Party,
Woodrow Wilson, then Cover
nor Of New Jersey, gave this
definition Of a Progressive and
so classified himself In an adj
dress before the Kansas Society
Of New York, January 20, 1911:
"By Radical I understand
one who goes too far; by
Conservative one who does
not 90 far enough; by Re
dictionary one who won't
90 at all. suppose ! must
be a Progressive, which
take to be one who insists
on recognizing new facts,
adjusting policies to facts
and circumstances as they
arise"
Under Democratic influences
during the six-year period since
standpatism was overthrow in
the House of Representatives in
1910, ninety per cent Of the pro-
gram Of reform advocated by
the Progressive Party has beeh
enacted into lay. "Inyisible
government" which is now max
ing desperate efforts to "come
back" has been driven from
power under President Wilson's
administration and will have no
place in Washington so long as
he is in the White House.

"a RESID ENT WILSON'S
- announcement to the Sec
= retary of state in Ohio
places him fairly and squarely
in the running for reelection,
1t is news of great satisfaction
to people in all parties who
have faith in the presidents
ability and in his patriotism
and desire to see his have a
second term. Yet the an
uouncement will cause no sur
prise because it has been a
foregone conclusion for months
that he would run.
"One good term deserves
another is a generally ac-
cepted principle in our politi-
cal life. That we have had a
good administration from Will
son cannot be questioned. We
have had constructive legisla-
ton Of the most valued sort in
the reserve bank act and other
measures. We are at peace
with the world and in line to
remain at peace. The country
is prosperous, there are no
idle men in the country and
business is increasing every
where with such strength that
we are virtually in the midst Of
an industrial boom. While
times are good here in the
northwest parties who have
been in the east this winter
assert we out here have no
conception of the rush of bus
mess that is on there. Eastern
newspapers corroborate their
views.
With such a situation why
should there be any thought
Of a radical political change at
Washington? Why should
anyone looking to the interests
Of the country want to GUST a
man who is making good and
upplant him with someone
who by q single false step
could bring the nation to dis
aster?
With little reference to par
tisanship the people are going
to stand by President Wilson
for another term.
