Show i I Behold, the politician is now smoking union- i ; made cigars ! f ! I When it comes to boosting, prices seem to have f 'felt the effects, anyway. i J Witnesses in the Standard Oil case -would rather let their money talk for them. i ,: Frosty nights. But they can hardly be ascribed 1 1o the Fairbanks presidential boom. ! ' ' v If Uncle Sam collects that $29,000,000 fine at f i- - par, it certainly will be par amount. , " " " i All the local politicians of any party are against I' ! graft, so it is likely nobody will go to jaiL j j j When it comes to breaking the news, the teleg-' I 1 raphers certainly were not very gentle about it. j And now comes the dairyman -with a few vague hints of low production and high cost, and a sug- gestion of 10-cent milk for consumers. i? i There is a report abroad that there is a new ten-dollar bill being issued by the government and ! that it is beautiful. But we'd like to be shown. I Men rind women who have children of their own don't know nearly as much about their proper training as do those who are not similarly blessed, i , , , j The period of liquidation, to which reference f was made by witnesses in the Standard Oil trial, j must liave been when. they watered the stock so generously. It was right cruel of the Western Union directors direc-tors to refer to '"the late strike" in a recent rcso- lution. "The late lamented'' would have been even I j finer sarcasm.

In the old days when the county fair was a pas toral festival with big hogs, big steers and bigger pumpkins, there was more or less knowledge of agricultural ag-ricultural activities disseminated. Horse races were a natural feature of the show. But since the great Columbian exposition, the county fair has degenerated into a poor imitation of an agricul-' agricul-' tural display, with miniature midways and streets j ,f Cairo and other catchpenny devices to distract attention from the essential features to display I which the fairs were originally intended. What i the county fairs, and state fairs, too, need is a re-I re-I turn to he pristine simplicity which marked the I expositions when a balloon ascension and daring parachutf leap was the most startling innovation . fitttroducedl to attract an attendance of those not V -- especially interested in agriculture. Better a yam and pumpkin show than a cheap vaudeville performance with doubtful morals. |
