The greatest strike the Lewis
and Clark Fair Committee has
made in an advertising way is
the putting out of a little sou
venir card for mailing purposes.
It is the size of an ordinary
postal card and one side is left
blank for tbe address "only'
with a place for a one cent post
age stamp indicated. Tho re
verse side is embellished with a
floral wreath of green on a back
ground of yellow and the much
used representation' of Lewis
and Clark with Sacajawea be
tween, journeying toward the
setting sun. . While the concep
tion of this picture is good, its
setting is both harsh and gaudy.
It's the same picture that has
blotched the envelope of many
a country merchant and already
grown into disuse by the mer
chants. The coloring is loud
enough to afford pattern for the
attire of a southern negro at a
Saturday night cake walk. In
stead of fading away gradually
from the central figure com
posed of the explorers with pow
der horn and rifle, guided by
, the Indian . maiden, the varie
gated colors come to an abrupt
ending with a red line border.
Yellow, red, , white, blue and
black and their combinations
are the colors that make up the
picture across the lower portion
of which extends a solid yellow
strip, possibly the width of the
yellow streak in the designer.
Aside from the defects ,of this
picture, the card is neat and the
opportunity it affords of remind
ing one's distant friends that
the sender is on earth and will
next year be on that popular
"Trail" makes it a valuable ad
vertising medium. It contains
the very appropiate inscription:
"Exposition opens June 1, 1905;
closes October 15, 1905. Meet
me on the Trail. Yours truly."
Then follows a blank line for
signature and the writing of
one's name and licking and
sticking on of a postage stamp
is all the effort and expense re
quired to call the attention of an
eastern friend to the Lewis and
Clark Fair.
Governor Chamberlain has
funny streaks. Last week, "un-t,i,a-nwd"
tn anvbodv be
UCIVU-T1 tl -
dropped in on the convicts at
the penitentiary at the noon
hour and sat down to lunch
with them. Then the Governor
bad himself interviewed and
said the meal was good, consist
ing of soup, boiled beef, cabbage,
potatoes, beet pickles and bread.
Everybody know the Governor
alone is responsible for the keep
ing of state prisoners, for what
they are fed and the tin pans
( I )
ami tin cups from which they
are fed. The Oovefnora com
mendation of the service and
food of the "cons" is much the
same as a man praising his own
table The only difference is
that in the latter case the man
foots his own bill while at the
penitentiary the expense is met
by the state. Governor Cham
berlain is lawyer enough to
know that his evidence in the
case of food for the convicts is
not Rood, before the court of
public opinion!' If he wants un
biased evidence he should issue
u standing invitation to the
country editors "Good to drop
in at any time," then he could
read in cold or hot print what
the priso;i service is from an
epicurean standpoint. Then too,
he would be doing a gastric fa
vor to country journalism by af
fording, an opportunity to drop
one day from oysters on the
half shell, quail on toast and
escapernong, to eating-out of tin
pans and sopping the skillets
with convicts.
Th outside papers would
have it that there was to be a
political speaking in Indepen
dence Friday night and Dallas
Saturday night. Nobody here
had asked for any speaking or
knew of any date and no one
seems to have awakened the
echoes on the Rickreall in the
vicinity of Dallas.
Two weeks , from today the
election of a President and Vice
president takes place. Go out
and vote your sentiments.
Russian soldiers are eating
mules. Judging from their
kicking, some American citizens
are feeding on the same meat.
Lewis and Clark Fair opens
June 1, 1905; closes October 15,
1905. "Meet me on the Trail."
