THE LAFAYETTE COUNTY FAIR,
The Largest Attendance in Its History
and the Best Exhibits.

The fair this year has been q sue
cess in every respect. First Of all,
credit is due to the officials for plan
ming the fair on a larger and more
Ii beral scale than ever before. Theirs
was the risk and theirs the credit first
of all. Then all the sections OF the
county worked together harmoniously
aud made the fair a success.
The erteries were numerous in all
be lists. The ladies we're as enthus-
iastic as the men in working up their
special departments. The textile,
art and flower EXHIBITS at the fair were
never so large and interesting before.
The most interesting features of The
fair were well distributed so that at
tendance was not centered on any
particular day. The weather was
| p erfect for the purpose and this con
trlbuted to the attendance.
The financial outcome cannot be
determined accurately for some time
yet, but there is no doubt about the
fair paying this time-a fact ovel
which every man in the county should
rejoice, for it means better fair veal
by year.
The attendance for the four days
will probably aggregate twenty thous
and Higginsville entertained the
crowd splenddly.

THE press Of the territory, says the Tucson Star, seems to he agreed that there should be bullion tax; that the $40, 900, 900 of metals which are ex- tracted from our mines annually and shipped out of the territory should pay reasonable tax. This wealth is taken from the territory, never to return. It is taken to the large monetary cen lers. It is taxed there. Why should it not be taxed here, from whence it is taken? The territory gives protection to those engaged in mining this metal. It protects property and maintains law and order. These sources of wealth should contribute reasonable tax, such as would be just, equitable. It would aid in relieving the tax burdens of the people. Let this issue of a req sonable bullion tax enter into the next legislative campaign. The territory needs the revenue. The producing mines are amply able to contribute the same.

The ticket is composed of representative business men and re- ceived the endorsement Of two-thirds of the voters who attended the mass meeting that nominated the tickets for councilmen. Three of the nominees are members of the present council and the excellent work done by them in furthering the interests of the town and placing it on q sound financial basis entities them to consideration of the taxpayer. The other gentlemen on the ticket were selected for their business ability and their interest in public affairs. The ticket is one that com mends itself to the voters.

GO SLOW
Is Mr.. Johnston's
Advice.
ays It Would be Un-
constitutional
For Legislature to Aban-
don Canal.
ITO Much Agitation For Good OF
Canal"

President Washington &. Johnston,
of the Board of Public Works. Ia very
naturally not in favor of abandoning
the canals. On the nth of February,
he was sworn in for another term OF
three years, and he remarked Sunday,
"If the canals are abandoned, the men,
hers of the Board will, of course, lose
their Jobs" He said this good-hum-
orcdly, and added, "but, really, don't
think that the State should abandon
the canal"
But how about the $123OO0 over
receipts during the past ycarT was
asked.
81 know there's drain there adj
mitted Mr.. Johnston, but you can't
always see the good on the surface.
This canal has been the means of
maintaining reasonable freight rates
among the railroads Of the State. The
disposition of the railroads is to COM
bine to keep up rates, and the canal
gives Il cheap means for transporta-
ton. The sentiment against the ca
nal Is largely due to agitation started
by railroad officials. And | want to
say that If this agitation were huShed
up, and it were known that the canal
would he maintained permanently it
would be only short time until the
system would he self-suppOrting. AS
it is now, people are afraid to invest
in new boats, as they hear ut every
session of the Legislature that the
canal is to be abanuoned. This uncer-
tainty very naturally hurts the canal
business and Is responsible for the
yearly deficit. If the people of the
State really want the canal to pay,
let them keep quiet and give 1t a
chance. 1t is "a good thing-a great
deal better than Is indicated by the
expenditures and receipts"
And, further, Mr.. Johnston does not
believe that the Legislature can aban-
don the canal, without changing the
laws of tho state. Members of the
Board of Public Works are elected by
the people, he said, land obliged to
take oath that they will protect the
property of the State. SO long as the
canal remains State property the mem
bcrs of the Board must protect it. Tc
oust the Board now, without changing
the law, would be unconstitutional
But do not believe the canal will be
abandoned this year"
Mr.. Johnston would also like the
state to look farther ahead than the
present. Eventually, the canal system
of the State might he made great

college, in response to the query Of a
Democrat representative. II believe
in it because 1t makes them the equal
and sometimes the superior of men.
They have taken the honors at Wit

it because 1t broadens them, fits them
to better meet all the exigencies of life
and above all fits them for the better

on this mooted subject says: Boys

families, men and women must spend
their lives together, then why not
educate them together? The presence
of girls in a school exerts q refining
influence over the young men and is
conducive to better order, thorough
ness and neatness. Also this is true
boys and girls in competition with each

girls to at least prove themselves their
equal"
