Chicago, Oct. 6.—The gutters of
Hammand, Ind., ran brimming with
liquor yesterday. Derelicts from the
city's slums fell over each other in a
mad fight to drink from the foaming

SPECIAL DAYS AT BIG FAIR.
Intermountain Fair Will Make Feature
of Special Occasion lor All.
With three days set especially aside
tor features of the intermountain fair
io be held in this city next month and
several other days which will be de
signated for Boise, Canyon, Elmore,
Ada and other counties, as well as
"Baby Day" the coming fair of the
Inter-Mountain Fair association will
be larger and better than ever and
will assume more the appearance of a
state fair than it ever has before.
Secretary Gibson states that the
prospects at the present time never
looked brighter and that indications
point to the fact that there will be
more people in attendance this year
than last.
Derby Day.
The first of the three big days is to
be known as "Derby Day," when the
great race of the entire meet will be
pulled off. A large purse Is offered
the winner and many of the fastest
horses in the northwest will be en
tered. The race committee has made
arrangements to hold their meet dur
ing the six days of the fair and four
days afterwards, making a 10-days
meet in all. Entries are now being
made for this event and many of the
horses and time breakers that will ap
pear at Portland, Seattle, Spokane and
Walla Walla, will try for purses in
this city during the fair and the four
following days.
"Oregon Day" will be the next of
the three big days set aside for the
tair and at this time many eastern
Oregon people from Ontario, Vale,
Baker City, Pendleton and other
places will be in attendance. Secre
tary Gibson states that he has been in
correspondence and working hand in
hand with the Ontario Commercial
club, with the result that that city will
put forth every effort to make "Ore
gon Day" a howling success.
Grand Parade.
The third day falls on Thursday and
is to be known as "Odd Fellows Day."
At this time the grand lodge of that
order will be In session in this city
and it is expected that between 400
and 500 Odd Fellows will be In attend
ance. The local orders will combine
with the fair association management
to see that the guests are properly
entertained and shown the time of
their lives. On Wednesday evening
before "Odd Fellows Day" the Imper
al Order of Muskovltes, a branch or
der of the Odd Fellows, will give a big
parade In the city with at least 400
members In attendance. They will en
deavor to entertain the populace with
their costumes and various portrayals
of characters true to their order. It
is expected that this will be a grand
spectacle.
County Days.
The counties named above are to
be especially honored with days dur.
ing the big fair and every effort will
be made to influence the residents of
these counties to be in Boise at that
time.
have been obtained on all of the rail
roads which means that the fare to
Boise from any point within a reason
able distance will come within the
reach of all. The various counties are
planning on exhibits at the fair and It
Is expected that this feature alone
Special transportation rates
will be an attraction. It will be on a
larger scale than ever before.
Fair Advertised.
Secretary Gibson stated today that
he has opened his campaign of ad
vertising and publicity for the fair
and that many of the newspapers of
the state are carrying "ads" as well
as writing up the big six and ten-days
event. Special rates were given by
the papers in the state to the fair
management, making it possible to
carry more advertising. The advertis
ing of the fair through bill posting has
been cut down this year, the manage
ment believing that it pays to address
the public through the newspapers.
Considerable advertising is being done
through the medium of bill boards,
however, and the display matter for
this arrived recently and is being put
in place.

IT HURTS THEM.
It is interesting to observe the fenzy
of righteous indignation which some
of the Democratic newspapers of the
country profess to feel over the action
of the president in throwing the great
weight of his personality into the pres
idential campaign. Among these is the
Boise Capital News. In a double col
umn editorial headed, "Roosevelt Com
mon Politician," it declares he has
laid aside the dignified robes of his of
fice and descended into "dirty" poli
tics. It scolds at him as those only
scold who find their party given a fa
tal blow by some commanding person
age, able and willing to strike hard
whenever necessity may arise for such
action.
But scolding at the president can
not set aside the truths he proclaims,
nor can it prevent these from taking
a deep hold upon the minds of the peo
ple. Those who indulge in frantic
scolding only weaken their own case.
They disclose the measure of the dam
age done their cause by the utterances
of the president. Those hurt always
cry out in some manner, excepting in
rare cases, and that is as true in poli
tics as it is in any situation in life.
That is what is hurting the Democrats
and leads to such fulminations as that
indulged in by the Boise paper. In
stead of raving at the president, such
papers should return devout thanks
that we have an executive who is
ready to take a bold and righteous
stand for the people on the great ques
tions that are now before them.
Theodore Roosevelt was needed in
this country; that has been amply
demonstrated in the past few years.
He came to the front at a time it was
essential that some man with the con
science and the courage and determin
ation to accomplish results should
step forward and take the giant com
binations by the throat. He did that
in the name of and for the welfare of
the people of the country. He is just
as earnest in that cause today as he
ever was In the past and he knows
that It is essential to it that William
H. Taft be elected president. He does
not hesitate to discharge his duty to
the people whom he has so well served
by casting the weight of his Influence
in favor of the candidate who he
knows will carry n the great work he
has begun and prosecute It to a con
clusion that will be lastingly bene
ficial to all the people of the country.
The Democrats cannot cork him up
In a bottle when he feels that there
of
on
ed
ed
he
on
is work for him to do in connection
with the great cause which bears his
name. When he found the trail of the
Standard Oil serpent leading into the
Democratic headquarters, he felt it
was his duty to speak to the public on
the subject. Instead of echoing the
lugubriations of the Democratic lead
ers and papers, the masses give forth
a shout of rejoicing over this renewed
evidence of Theodore Roosevelt's de
votion to the principles he has es
poused, and his assurances that Wil
liam H. Taft is as loyal as himself on
these great questions and on all oth
ers affecting the welfare of the nation,
cause them to return thanksgiving be
cause of his fearlessness and truthful
ness in speaking his mind to them so
freely.
It hurts those Democrats who desire
success at any cost, but fhe people, in
spired by his utterances, are march
ing forward in confidence that the
great statesman chosen by the Repub
licans of the country to continue
Roosevelt's work, will be triumphant
ly elected.—Morning Post, Sept. 29.
SKETCH OF SENATOR
WELDON B. HEYBURN.
Weldon Brinton Heyburn, senior
United States senator from Idaho, and
the Republican nominee for re-elec
tion to that office, has been a resident
of the state since 1883. He settled per
manently in the Ceour d' Alene mining
district in the early part of 1884, and
early rose to prominence in political
life, soon becoming one of the fore
most figures in the young common
wealth.
He is a native of Delaware county,
Pa., and was born May 23, 1852, com
ing from sturdy English Quaker stock
on both sides of his family. After re
ceiving a liberal academic education,
including complete courses in civil and
mining engineering, metallurgy and
other scientific branches. He studied
law and was admitted to practice be
fore the courts of Pennsylvania in
June, 1876, and was afterward admit
ted to the supreme courts of the west
ern and northwestern states, the Unit
ed States district and circuit courts
and the supreme court of the United
States. For over 30 years he has been
extensively engaged in the practice of
law, largely connected with mining
litigation, but his practice has cover
ed every branch of the profession and
he has met with conspicuous success.
Senator Heyburn was elected a
member of the .constitutional conven
tion of 1889, which framed the consti
tution of the state of Idaho, and parti
tlcipated actively in all of Its delibera
tions, serving as chairman of the com
mittee on the judiciary, as well as on
other important committees.
Although not a candidate for the of
fice, he was nominated for congress on
the Republican ticket In 1898, but was
defeated on account of the free silver
disaffection at that time. He was a
delegate to the Republican national
conventions of 1888, 1893, 1900 and
1904, and served as national commit
teeman for Idaho from 1904 to 1908.
In 1906 he was elected to the United
States senate, receiving all of the Re
publican votes In the législature. Up
on entering the senate he was made
chairman of the committee on manu
factures, which had charge at the pare
food legislation la the senate, and dls
tingulshed himself by the magnificent
fight he made for the passage of the
pure food bill which is now a national
statute. During this fight he demon
strated that he was one of the ablest
debaters in the upper house of the na
tional legislature, and since that time
has mantained his reputation on many
an occasion.
BRADY IN THE NORTH.
James H. Brady, the Republican can
didate for governor, is making a great
campaign in north Idaho. He is
preaching the gospel of honest citi
zenship and good government, and he
is creating a splendid impression. The
Republican candidate does not pretend
to be an orator. He is a business man.
and a plain man—one of the people.
He has experienced the hard knocks
of the world in his efforts to make a
living and his sympathies are all on
the side of the masses. As a broad
gauged business man, though, he en
courages the investment of capital in
his state. He says to it, "Come, and if
you do right you will have the pro
tection of the state if I shall be placed
at the head of affairs; if you do wrong,
you may expect to suffer for it." He
says to the laboring man, "We want
capital, but we must have the men to
do the work. We want them well paid
and we will protect them in their em
ployment, but they must obey the
law." Rich and poor alike must obey
it. As a citizen he stands for those
things that are lofty and inspiring. He
wants good government and is advo
cating a direct primary as one of the
best means of securing it. He is talk
ing those things over with the peo
ple. They have confidence in him and
in his words and they propose to make
him Idaho's next governor.— Boise
Statesman, Oct. 7.
