DOMESTIC ART
 T0 bE FEATURE
 AT STATE FAIR

The department of domestic art at the State Fair this year, presided over by Mrs Charles F. Smurthwaite ana q whole bunch of capable women as committee in charge, will attract the
 attention of every woman on the fair grounds and should interest every man
 who is bread er3ug;h between the
 eyes to appreciate fine workmanship
 outside his particular line.
 Mo- domestic art isn't anything to
 eat and has nothing to do with the
 kitchen Domestic science is quite
 another thing, is mostly eats and
 sometimes is even artistic, but that is
 a whole show by itself to be talked
 about some other time. Just now the subject of discussion embraces those
 more delicate things appreciated best
 by people who can get their minds
 off their bread and butter once in
 while. Food is all right in it's place, if
 1t is all right, but its place is not in
 the art department.
 This department consists of every thing a child or woman. or even a skiilful man, can make with a needle, crochet hook, darning needle or knit ting needle or sewing machine, given l the worlds supply of fabrics, threads, yarns, laces, silks, embroideries, rib bons. etc. to draw upon, and score of other things not now recalled. Af- ter the things are made a lot of genius, | show cases, nails, hooks, tables and i some lumber and paint, are required l for their proper display and thet is l what is now occupying the attention of
 the ladies referred to. The first thing i they did was to hold up the fair com
 mission until it gave them authority to
 make over the inside of the building | 80 it would harmonize with a modern 1 conception of things, and they have 1 done it. Those who want to know | just how well this has been done will nave to go to the fair to find out.
 Then there are the premiums, real
 money, ribbons and list of specials
 offel ed by business houses, So varied
 one wonders if nobody else is going to i have anything fine but the needle workers. Or course they are, but 1 that's another story. To find out about l these premiums one must read the
 premium list and any woman Or girl who fails to do so is very apt to say i when the fair is over. Now if I had thought, or known about it I could i have"-but whats the use. Get the book. There is something there for everybody who can do anything from
 darning a sock to the creation of a
 ball costume. If

~ Or. FRANK CRANE
tCopyrighL 1915. by Frank Crane)

The President of the United States In
his message TO congress, with his usual
clear thinking and happy wording, has
defined the issue.
We know precisely what we are fight
ing for. This free people is not going
bhndly into war as the result of some
squabble of statecraft they do not under
stand. They are no pawns of devious,
secret diplomacy. They are not TO sac
rifice themselves for the ambitions of
kings nor for the greed of capital.
Neither are they actuated by any mar
row and unworthy race hate.
The President has made 1t plain that
this is conflict between autocracy and
democracy. Whatever the war vast in
the beginning il has worked itself out
into a clear combat between the cruel,
inhuman forces of autocracy. recognising
no morals except its own success, and
the forces of popular government. The
German government, allied with the
Turks and Austrians, has got itself into
the position of the enemy of the human
race. We can no more make peace with
it, as at present constituted, than we
can make peace with a burglar. II must
abandon its untenable positions and its
inhuman practices or it must be de-
stroyed.
I'VE are now" said President Wilson,
about to accept the gage of battle with
this natural foe TO liberty. and shall, il
necessary, spend the whole force OF the
nation to check and nullify its preten-
sions and its power. We are glad, now
that we see the facts with no veil Of false
pretense about them, to fight thus for
the ultimate peace of the world and for
the liberation of its peoples, the German
peoples included"
America comes into the world conflict
with clean hands. We want no terri
tory, no military glory. We want what
we have always wanted and what we
fought for. in 1776, in 1851. in 1898
''the privilege of men everywhere to
choose their way of life and obedience"
A general sigh of relief goes up from
all our people that at last our country
has taken its place in the ranks with
the great democracies of Russia, France
and England, in the effort to subdue that
military autocracy that threatens the
ruin of civilization.
There can be no doubt Of the end.
We are making history fast. Within the
lifetime or our children we may nope TO
see the last autocracy banished from the
earth, and the way made clear for
peace on earth, goodwill toward men,"

w Not Call First For
Volunteers and Conscript
Next, As the Alternative?

The Times considers the draft re-
faction upon the patriotism of the coun-
try and as giving comfort to the enemy.
The opinion Of our army experts that
by conscription alone can an army be
raised and proper account given by the
country in the war, is reproach upon
the good red blood in American veins
and should be resented.
II can be resented best, of course, by
\ sufficient number of volunteers TO
prove that these army experts are away
of.
What kind of an idea would il be for
the administration to call first for vol
unteers, serving notice at the same time
that II sufficient number Of volunteers
have not come forward in 80 days, the
alternative will be conscription?
Would not this be more fair toward
the man who really has not had the
time TO study the matter and decide
whether he should take an active part
In II on the firing line?
Would this not be more fair toward
the man who may have decided that he
wants a part in it on the firing line but
who requires few days to determine
whether he can get his affairs in shape
20 that he can go?
The Times is not taking issue with
President Wilson.
No one can deny that we are in po-
sition now where we must have men.
The question of how these men should
be raised is, however, debatable.
The majority report of the committee
Of the lower house in Washington
against conscription proves that it is.

II win be landed upon with a brickbat

II win be handed brickbat for not
having followed up the dry legislation
with the passage of bill banishing Gig
arettes along with booze.
Something pretty will be bought for it
with the coupons that come with cigar

The Legislature will be condemned for
having failed to pass law authorizing
the Torrens system of land transfer.
II win be applsuded for having failed
to interfere with an established practice,
