THE WORLDS ALMANAC

In many ways is the New York Worlc
a great newspaper. Not only is il
one of the worlds biggest, journals
viewed from the standpoint simply OF q
daily, weekly and tri-weekly journal
giving the news of the day, but as q
newspaper that has repeatedly inaugu-
rated and carried to a successful issue
great civic reforms, as in its famous
discovery and overthrow of Boss Tweed
and his powerful ring, and as in its
latest achievements, wherein it largely
helped defeat Root, Barnes and Muir
phey's reactionary Constitution for New
York, and in its expose of the huge
German conspiracy to destroy our navy,
and our manufacturing INDUSTRIES a
dastardly campaign with its corruption
fund of $40, ZOO, 900, that has injured six
Of our largest battleships, nearly running
the Oklahoma, and has burned, blown
up or otherwise destroyed scores of
manufacturing plants thruout the
Country, causing the death of about 500
persons, and the loss of many millions
dollars worth of property
One would naturally expect such a
great newspaper as that to produce
something resembling itself in the Al
manac way. And so as fact it has in
its now celebrated yearly publication
known as 1.-THE World Almanac and
Cyclopedia." p"
This wonderful compend of history
and all useful knowledge truly big
cyclopedia boiled down into HOO pages
has become a real household necessity
for many thousands of people who keep
each years issue thereby forming
highly useful library.
This World Almanac and Cyclopedia
is a treasury of General History,
Science, Business, Art, Sport, ETC., as
we'll as an invaluable chronicle of cur
rent events of every sort, in legislation,
politics, business, commerce, society
and religion.
The World Almanac for 1916 is as
great marvel as any before it, consist
ing of HOO pages, a real cyclopedia
crammed with useful facts and st tistics
upon every field Of knowledge, SO
hendily arranged that with its copious
index one can in an instant find what
one seeks.
Every business man; every teacher
and scholar in the public schools; every
practitioner in Law, Medicine, Theology
and Science; every farmer and every
mechanic should have copy of this
wonderful Library of Useful Informa
tion about each of those trades, pro-
fessions and businesses.
One never gets done wondering how
such a comprehensive survey of the do
ings of all mankind, such an amazing
assemblage Of data upon all subjects,
could be printed in book form-the
matter in those HOO pages would fill
over three octave volumes of 500 pages
each-for the absurd trife of 25c when
bought of newsdealer, or 35c if sent
by mail
But, ''The Worlds Almanac and Cy-
clopedia" is unique in its class. There
are almanacs of almost every conceiv-
able character, but only one 'World's
Almanac! Its resume in 12 pages
equal to about 80 pages octavo-of the
Great War is worth the books price
three times over. If Mr.. Wilson cannot
supply you, write the World Almanac
Departm Mt for it.

ONE CENT POSTAGE.

The postmaster general Of the United
States is reported 10y telegraph as tell
ing the assembled postmasters at their
Washington meeting yesterday that
the prospect was that the letter post
age would be reduced to | cent. That
is in case the revenues Of the depart
ment increase, as is likely.
This will bring a joyous smile to the
few large business houses that do big
mail business and to which the postage
bin is real item, although they are
abundantly able to meet it. The Amer
lean people as a whole don't care a zig
about whether letter is / cent or 2.
If it's worth sending it is worth
cents; otherwise 4 postal card
We shall have to think less of the
American people, if ever they talk en-
thusiastic in praise Of this foolish
scheme. demagogic and indefensible,
especially in a country where the mail
service is matter Of daily complaint.

Milwaukee, Aug. 27-The city of
Milwaukee will do everything In its
power this year to make the State Fair,
Sept. IL to IL, a success in every way.
A committee of 100, of which Judge
John C. Karel is chairman, Alvin p.
Kletzsch vice president, AL Thierbach
treasurer and William II. Reese secre-
tary, has been named to look after NIL
waukees part IN aiding the Fair.
The Milwaukee committee plans to

week, Features OF the festival pro
grams viii be naval battle between
the forces of Joy and Gloom, carnival
on Milwaukee bay and river in which
all canoe and yachting clubs and fleets
OF motorboats win take part, and
style parade.
1t also is planned to hold a mammoth
fraternal parade on Tuesday or Thurs

in Milwaukee during Fair week so that
unusual showings can be made in the
parade.
On the Fair Grounds will be tented
fraternal city during the entire Fair,
each fraternal organization being al
bowed space TO maintain n tent.
Some idea of the magnitude OF this
tented city can be drawn when 1t Is
known that over fifty fraternal socie-
ties will be represented
1t is estimated that the Badger fes-
tival will cost the city of Milwaukee
not less than $4,000 or this amount
$1,000 win be spent for special light
ing in addition to private lighting
The Merchants and Manufacturers
association also is handling a sale of

Need of Constructive Legislation.

Just before the European war broke
out we had a million skilled mechan-
les out Of work and nearly half a mil
lion railroad men We're idle, together
with nearly half million freight cars.
The railroads were suffering from
lack of freight to carry to market, and
Industry was gradually becoming
stagnant. In Louisiana two hundred
thousand acres of sugar land were
plowed up because Of Democratic
changes in the tariff law II is gen
orally conceded by all save the blind
that the. country was not progressing.
Attempts were made to keep courage
mp by the predictions made by Secre-
taries McAdoo and Redfield and Presl-
dent Wilson of the great trade booms
which were soon to appear but which
failed TO materialize until the outbreak
Of war on the continent.

OECRYING iNTERF ca,
WE TERFERED IN MEX
leo EXAsPERATINGLY.

The dealings OF the Admins
tration with Mexico constitute a
confused chapter OF blunders.
We have not helped Mexico. She
lies PROSTATE, impoverished,
famine-stricken, overwhelmed
with the woes and outrages OF
hternecine strife. the helpless
victim OF a condition of anarchy
which the course of the Admin
istration only served to promote.
For ourselves, we have wit
messed the murder OF our cit-
zens and the destruction OF their
property. We have made ems
mics, not friends. Instead OF
commanding respect and de-
serving good will by sincerity,
firmness, and consistency, we
provoked mtsapprehension and
deep resentment In the light
OF the conduct of the Admin
istration no one could under
stand it's professions. Decrytng
interference, we interfered most
exasperatingly. We have not
even kept out OF actual con-
fict. and the soil OF Mexico Is
stained with the blood Of our
soldiers. We have resorted to
physical invasion, only to retire
without gaining the protested
object. II is record which
cannot be examined without a
profound sense Of humiliation

How Much 10 Now Left OF the Sal
tlnore Platform?

tlmCrc PLATFORM!
The President had boldly signed the
Pork River and Harbor bill, and his
facile pen is dripping with ink eager
to attach itself to Pork Public
Buildings bill

waste OF money wrung from the PEG
pie by oppressive taxation have moth
ing better to say for him than that
It is hardly fair to expect man to
say 81 Forbid" In this Presidential
year when he is a candidate.
The foregoing words describing the
prof1igate waste OF the peoples money
with Executive approval are taken
without change from a plank OF the
platform on which Woodrow Wilson
was elected in 1912:
I'VE denounce the profligate waste
Of money wrung from the people by
oppressive taxation through the
lavish appropriations of recent Re
publican Congresses, which have
kept taxes high and reduced the
purchasing power OF the peoples
toll. We demand return to that
simplicity and economy which be-
Ats a democratic government"
How much Is now left Of the prin-
ciples declared and the promises reg
istered at Baltimore as inducements
to citizens to vote for Wilson.
Possibly 1t Is because he and his
party have been such reckless, such
of 1912 that few people remember or
care to remember what pledges were
made In his behalf about forty days
ago at st. Louis.-New York Sun.

Why Admission is Charged.

The question OF protection at the au-
tomohiie show on the State Fair
grounds is one of the most important
factors involved I'm the holding Of the
show there. With more than $1,000
600 worth Of property exposed to the
carelessncss Of from 10000 to $4,000
people day, it is necessary to control
the attendance and this is done
through an admission fee of 10 cents.
which eliminates dangero of damage by
keeping out uninterested spectators
1t also assists IN keeping out the
younger element, intent on scratching
and defacing automobiles.
The show will be opsn daily during
the state Fair from s o'clock In the
morning until the Fair closes each
evening.
