The STATE FAIR.-The Register is going
in in . very plucky and emphatic way to se-
cure the State Fair at Des Moines for the
next two years. That's good thing for the
Register to do. But Keokuk should have .
finger in that pie. This city has been here
for long time. And it's . mighty good
town. It has railroads and big river; ways
to get to il and get away from it. 1t has
plenty Of hotels and good Fair Ground. A
State Fair shouldn't be exclusive; the public
in other States should have chance to come,
That would be one splendid consequence of
having the Fair here. Illinois and Missouri
could pick up oil their traps and come over.
Suppose tho Fair should be at Des Moines.
That's q mighty good town. II Keokuk
don't get the Fair, We vote for Des Moines'
getting it. And in what we say here We have
neither envy nor spite against that borough.
It's one ofthe spanking good things Of this
spanking good State. We like that city and
the people that line it. But suppose Des
Moines has the Fair? OF course there won /,
be half the attendance from abroad tina,
there would be if it we're held here. Itwould
be Is much - the people could do to get
there without their traps. But here they
could bring themselves and their traps too.
Look here, you Des Moines folks; you're
young. You should be modest. Don't
crowd your seniors away from the table. II
isn't your turn. You say it will cost you
$4,000 or $4,000 to get the Fair, for you
must, Is . preliminary. prepare your
grounds. Now, you had better save that ex
pense this year and all come down here. We
have the grounds already prepared. They
are superb. Just ~ good as you could gel
up, although you have grand country tc
select from. Then you would have the fix
ing up to do. That's already done here
Save your money and come to Keoknk.
Let US have Peace.
Now, good people of Keokuk, let US have
that Fair.
