not apply the law of cause and effect

Spirit of Democracy came to the open

She touched rich man, poor man,
farmer, student, laborer, church work

puddles which covered the Playground.
1t was not a gay holiday throng
that made its way through exhibits
at which men and women had been
working overtime In preparation for
the opening. Many who had planned
to be at the Playground bright and
early turned over and pulled up the
covers, at sight of the steady down
pour whicn continued all through
Sunday night.
Friendly Crowd
But it was a friendly brotherly
crowd that struggled through the
gates. The various exhibits had to
be cared for, and the judging of cat
tie, horses and swine had enough in
terest to draw farmers.
Optimistic, because the weather
showed signs of clearing, the of
ficials of the State Board Of Agricul-
ture. in charge Of the fair. went ahead
with their preparations.
'If 1t clears up, as we think It WILL
We'll go ahead with the program this
evening"" said I. Newt Brown, secre-
tary-treasurer Of the board.

sists OF a fireworks display on the
race track at 7:45 p. m.
While the rain beat steadily down

significance for the republic.
Our fathers fought and
bled in defense of the in
alienable rights of life, lib
erty, and the pursuit of hap
piness. The Government of
the United States was estab-
lished to protect these rights.
Labor's policy stands for
their practical realization for
every citizen.
Labor's policy expresses
the material and spiritual as
pirations of the masses.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1923-09-03

Therefore, Labor's policy be-
comes the policy of the Ma
ton in it's search for politi-
cal and economic stability
and prosperity.
Labor's policy is signifi-
cant for its conception of
life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness. 1t emissions a
life not limited by the mere
necessities of physical exist
ence. 1t demands a living
standard much higher than
is contained in "cost-of-liv-
ing wages.
