officers of local unions of postofice
employees. Republican administra-
tions tried that, years ago, and the La
Toilette antigag law was passed to
protect the postal workers in their
right to appeal directly to congress,
through their union officers, for justice.
That Burleson should try to reverse
this action as a campaign maneuver,
or simply to satisfy his hatred Of union
ism is absurd in view of the anxiety
of the politicians to keep public en-
ployes from feeling resentment at
congress.
If the Republicans were to permit
Burleson and the Bourbons to outlaw
the unions in the postal service, they
would thereby create far more
powerful organization of postoffice
employees than now exists. Unions
thrive on persecution, although it does
not improve their temper. .
Babson on New Party.
Babson's confidential bulletin to
employers, dealing with the Farmer
Labor party, warns big business that
it is issues such as those set forth in
the platform of this new party that
are going to hold the center of the
political stage for the next 20 or 80
years. What is more, the expert adj
wiser of fnanciers gives it as his view
that this Chicago Farmer-Labor plat
form Us conservative when contrasted
with the platform of the British Labor
party, and it must be taken as only
the first step in the path upon which
the masses of American labor are now
entering. He says that the rank and
file of the convention were not radical,
but were hard-headed railroad men,
miners, machinists and others, who
knew exactly what they wanted, and
why. He thinks the men who did most
of the talking for the Committee of
Forty-eight were out of place at

to change Children's Day at the Brown
County Fair from the second to the
last day Of the exposition, and Wednes-
day, Sept. !, will be the big day for
the little tots this year. AS usual, all
school children will be admitted free
Of charge on Children's Day. The
juvenile attendance at the Fair on
Children's Day during the past has
demonstrated that the little folks
greatly appreciate the generosity of the
fair management in this matter:
Brisk Demand For Space.
Secretary VIM. A. Lindemann re-
ports brisk demand for display space
in the exhibition building on the fair
grounds for this years big exposition.
Practically all available space for this
purpose has already been spoken for
and the hall will no doubt be. crowded
to capacity. Quite a few local enter
prises have also contracted for display
space on the grounds, which indicates
keen rivalry in this department.
Premium List Out.
The premium list for the fiftieth
annual Brown County Fair was COM
pleted last week and many copies have
already been mailed out to people OF
Brown and adjoining counties. This
years premium list is a product of the
Reviews printery and was gotten out
in record time Secretary Lindemann
still has limited number of copies on
hand, which he will gladly hand or
mail to prospective exhibitors or
others interested in the Fair upon re-
quest. Those who are unable to call
on him in person, may telephone OF
write "a post card will do) to him,
asking for copy of the premium list
Big Attractions Booked.
This years event at the fair grounds
offers wide range of high-leass in
structing and interesting attractions,
aside from the usual exhibits. of live
stock, farm, garden and home products
and mercantile displays. Although
this is Secretary Lindemann's first
years experience in connection with
the county fair, he has succeeded IN
booking sufficient material to insure
big programs. The baseball games
alone will be worth the price OF ad-
mission and should draw large crowds
of fans from all sections of the county
For those not interested in the great
American game, there will be many
other forms of amusement, as no
feature has been sighted. The big
fireworks display each evening will
also attract large attendances, as they
will equal, if not surpass, those OF
former county fairs here.
Red Cross Clown Coming.
A feature of the Brown County Fair
that will no doubt be especially ap-
preciated by the Riddles is Red
Cross clown, who will be at the Fair
on Tuesday, August 81. This clown
is a physical director and his mission
is to give health talks to the children
at Red Cross booth, which is to be
arranged at the Fair. He will also
distribute free material and reading
matter pertaining to the care and
feeding Of children, as well as proper
diet for grownups.

is bright, musical and pure. After
he has been heard, it is entirely obvious
why Mr. Hindermyer is generally re-
engaged wherever he appears.
The Damn Sisters Trio have by hard
work and earnest application won for
themselves an enyiable place in musical
circles. These young girls, as modest
as they are charming, have enchanted
thousands of Americans not only by
their exquisite playing, but by their
graciousness of manner.

Colby's Note to Allies.

ESs. 81 Z. -
Secretary Colby's. note, delivered to
the allies through the. Italian am
!bassador, stresses the following points:
1. "This government believes in a
united, free and autonomous Polish
state But we will not participate
in general conference lest this should
lead to recognition Of Russia.
2. America upholds Russian terri
torial integrity and disapproves the
formation OF the Baltic states, except
Finland, and the creation Of the re-
.publics of Georgia and Azerbaijan.
While not mentioned specifically,
japanese aggression in the Far East
is also deprecated.
8. No compact or treaty can be
made with the present de facto govern
ment. Much space jsS taken in de
nouncing the Bolsheviki and in out
lining a policy Of watchful waiting
until understandings can be entered
into with the people of Russia.
4. The allies should withdraw all
troops from all Russian territory and
thus deprive the Bolsheyiki Of their
national defense appeal.
This particular note does not men
ton the position Of strict neutrality
on the Polish crisis given out as sent
to England and France direct.
