To the Editor of The Evening Star:
September 6, 1893
Julian Hawthorne in Once a Week has
voiced the sentiments OF thousands Of our
people when he writes that the Columbian
fair should be made a permanent thing. 1t
required the thought and labor of years to
call it forth. then why should 1t be ruth
lessly swept away at the end Of six months? !?

financial depression a multitude of work.

unable to attend. although they lack not
enthusiasm and ambition to reap the good
from this vast treasure house Of the genius
and Industry Of the globe. Hawthorne
says, III 1t educates the people in six
months how much more would It educate in
six or sixty years?' Should 1t not prove
advisable to make 1t permanent, surely
every one will agree that 1t ought not to
close at the end Of six months. Do set the

spread beneath the shade trees, and
so bountifully supplied with good
things, including ice cream and lemo-

them so well supplied that their cups

The Convention.

IL was great big stalwart, good
natured, level headed, enthusiastic
convention. Every man in it was a
Republican. And he was not ashamed
of it. And when the resolutions were
brought in, they were Republican
resolutions. There was no mincing of
words. There was no vague general
izing. There was no attempt to carry
water on both shoulders. There was
no coddling of any other party. 1t
was a Republican platform.
OF course the contest over two or
three of the nominations was close
and lively. The reason was that all
the candidates were good men and it
was hard to choose among them. But
it was good natured throughout.
There was no bad feeling shown.
There was no skull duggery charged.
1T was all fair and square and honest
and while the friends of the disap-
pointed candidates were disappoint-
ed, naturally, they were not mad.
Because everybody must admit it is a
good ticket, a strong ticket, an invin-
chile ticket. Every section of the
county is represented: Humboldt,

the confidence of the people. Every
