THRILL STATE
FAIR VISITORS
Famous Drivers Will Compete for
Tempting Prizes offered in
Auto Meet.

Heretofore there has been only one
lay of automobile racing at the State
Fair of Louisiana, but at the 1920 Fair
there will be two days Of this kind Of
racing, October 81 and November 7.
With the prize money the largest
amount on record, and entries more
numerous, the greatest field of motor
races ever witnessed at the State Fair
of Louisiana is promised. More than
a dozen Of the foremost drivers in
motordom are scheduled to take part
in these contests. They are speed
demons who do not know the meaning
of fear. They will whirl their cars
around the mile circuit at maniacal
speed, And those who boy sure
enough thrilling entertainnrt ~ oh get
more than their moneS's worth.
In seeking the purses hung up for
these races, the dare-devils will use
some of the most noted motor cars
ever constructed. These machines
were built especially for speeding, no.
the ordinary kind of speeding but the
kind that makes ones hair stand up
with excitement
There have been some wonderful
records made on the State Fair track.
1t would appear almost impossible for
some of these to be surpassed, but
there are drivers due to race in the
two days meet this year who will try
TO smash eni.
AS heretofore, j. Alex Sloan Of Chi
cago, will direct the motor races. That
means that the meet will be in charge
of one Of the worlds foremost auto
mobile race officials.

THE MEDDLER GETS A MEDAL

WASHINGTON-"It would be inter
esting to Americans to know the men,
tai processes of members of the Nor
wegian Storthing which led them to
hand the Noltel award to the Presi-
dent" says the Republican Publicity
Association. through its president,
Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr. Certainly
he has done nothing to further peace
in his own country, and he was instru-
mental in creating unnatural situa-
tions abroad that already have been
the cause of many hostile outbreaks.
and because of which much blood will
be shed in the future.
Had the Storthing been familiar
with the American political campaign
of 1916 it is hardly probable that the
prize would have gone to Mr.. Wilson.
Seldom in the history of the world
has there been displayed such cal
lous disregard for a nations lives and
treasure as that which marked the eff
forts of the President to win a re-
election on the slogan He kept us out
of war; Knowing full well that the
course of the Germans would inevitab-
ly involve his country in the war, he
nevertheless refused to take the most
elementary measures of preparation,
fearful that if he did so it would les
sen the potency of his hypocritical
campaign watchword. AS a result the
nation was compelled to compress in
to few weeks preparations that
should have been progressing for
months at a far less cost and much
higher production. Apparently recent
American history did not furnish the
for the Wilson award.
Even after the nation had finally
entered the conflict Mr.. Wilson per-
sisted in keeping in office men whose
demonstrated incapacity put an enor-
nous daily tax in lives and money up
on the people. Had it not been for
the inability of the organization at
home to supply properly our army in
the field there is little doubt that the
war would have ended sooner with an
earlier conservation of men and
wealth. Evidently Mr.. Wilson was a
more potent ally of the god of war
than of the bird of peace.
1T is probable that Mr. Wilson's
notes to Germany were responsible,
more than any other single cause, for
the granting of the armistice. The
German armies were ON the run, and
a few days more would have. brought
about their utter rout. Instead, the
Wilson armistice permitted the Ger
man soldiers to stage a triumphal
march through the streets of Berlin,
and encouraged an arrogance that
has been a thorn in the side of the
allies ever since. Do the Norwegians
think that peace was furthered by
