"THE PAT STREAK" OF THE FAIR
The Pay Streak it the name
of the amusement a?euu? of the
Pacific Worl i's Fair, corresponding to
the Midway a'. Cinca'o, the Pike at
St, Louis, tho Trail at Portland aud
acA th? VYatpaih at Jamestown.
The prom.se that its half mil* of
length wi.l be linad nith more than
thirty cleaa, first-class, attractions,
The approach to th* Pay Streak will
begin at the right of the maia enter
ance to the exposition. This approach
will bo made up of reproductions of
famous totem poles, a line of ?ix
on each side of the avenue, each pole
thirty fee: apart. Between the poles,
according to descriptions sent out, will
bo stretched rop?s of garlands, from
whioh will be >uspcndeJ Japanese
lanterns. The reproduction of the
Alaskau native's family tree will be
thtrtv feet high bud high v chromatic.
At night ihev will be illuminated by
electric lights.
The approach will lead up to the
main portal of the Pay Streak. As the
visitor passes along betweeu the totem
poles, his eyes will meet the grand
archway, an ori?-:u.. dc?ign by I hamp
ney, a com' inatioc of different kinds of
architecture. Eighi to'.em polo col
umns will support the . rebway, which
will carry an o-nam ntat tcreen with
the oiliciai seti of the exposition in
bright colors in the con er. The pago
da roof will be what might be termed
"jap-Al*o?au'' in sty e of architecture,
explains Champuey who coined the
word. The curved toot of tne pjgoda
will bo a happy medium between the
Japanrse and Ch<utr?e styles of pagoda
roofs. The main frieze over the arch
way will beaswastiaa f r-jt, the Alas
kan good luck symbol.
Be'-wren the outside columns of totem
poles, llaukiu.; each side of Che arch
way, will be a seated figure oa a pedes
tal. On one fide tho tijjure will repre
sent aa Orienial idol, while on the
ot^er the figure will typify a native
Alaskan god. Around the ..rchway
will bs laid out a typical Japanese gar
den, with dwarfed plauts, wisteria
vioes, ?to.
The management of the exposition
thinks it will make one of the artistic
hits of 'lie 1909 fair.
The '"i'av i rjak"' wiil ruu from near
the ma. a entrance to Lake Union,
which laps the exposition grounds ou
the west, where it wi.l terminate in an

Bryan concedes thut the democratic
party is free to adopt what platform
it deem* necessary. This is kind of
Mr. Bryan. It is also politics. Plat
forms are for the most part osade to oatch
votes and to secure the election of the
man. After that?. However, it ia
more than Mr. Roosevelt per?
mitted the republican party to do. He
built the platform to suit the man and
declaied the; could not h?ve the man
separate from the declaration of prin
ciple. And thev took both.

trouble. If a strong anti-injunction
plank is inserted in the democratic
platfjrm it will be jutt the one and
only element of strength in the demo
cratic situation? that is it will be the
oue thing that will give tho ticket a
righting chance. For the labor leaders
laborsd in vain for what ther wanted
with the republican platform commit
tee, and to secure it here will create a
large following of course.
It would seem tha tho substitution
of tho tiger for the jackass as an em
blem of the democratic party will not
effected without protest if the present
of a burro to Tom Taj;?art counts for
anything.
We have been complaining of the
cool summer. Read the weather re
ports from New Yor* and Chicago. It
face of a tragic condition like this it is
past the point of a j ike even for self
felicitations.
An exchange remark*, speaking of
the platform, that the democratic party
has had plenty of time to study up dif
furent words to say the same thing.
Bryan would hare lent strength per
haps to & ticket that had John Mitchell
on il.
The idea of a joke like Judge Parker
ridiculing Bryan.
