Mr. E.. r. Johnstone announces to-day
his retirement from the editorship of the
Times. His newspaper friends and his
many personal friends among the people
Of this city as well as the thousands of
readers of the Times who have enjoyed
his vigorous and incisive way of putting
things, even though they may not always
have agreed with his views, will sincerely
regret the decision which transfers him
from Minneapolis to New York, where it
is understood he has engaged to continue
his professional work. It Isl matter Of
regret, too, that the change is Influenced
largely by considerations of health both
of Mr.. Johnstone and his wife. Mr. john
stone has been the editor of the Times for
four years and a half and during that
time he has strongly impressed himself
upon the community through the columns
|of that paper He has not only given to
it its distinctive character in editorial ex-

The State Fair as Gambling Resort.

The effort to convert the state fair into
gambling resort will fail. The majority
of both houses Of the legislature will un-
doubtedly vote againstsit, but II they do
not it is safe to say it will take the two
thirds majority necessary to overcome the
governors veto, and that certainly can
not be obtained for such a palpable gam
bler's deal as is before the legislature in
the guise of a bill to promote the horse
breeding interests Of the state. Leaving
the moral aspect Of the question out OF
consideration altogether, 1t would be the
poorest kind of business sense to convert
the state fair grounds into public gam
bling resort again. The last year the fair
grounds were used for such a purpose
the people, of this state expressed their.
sentiments by turning into the treasury
Of the fair association only $4,000, leav-
ing deficit when the fair, was over. Ever
since the bookmakers and pool sellers
were ruled off that track permanently,
and the state fair became what it really
ought to bean educational institution,
the people Of this state and the. north
west generally have manifested their ap-
probation of high-toned management by
running the receipts up till in 1902 they
amounted to $1s0,OO0.
1t is perfectly legitimate to regard the
state fair as an educational institution;
that is the principal and pest purpose
which it serves. It would be almost as
appropriate and reasonable to legislate in
favor of pool selling on football matches
at the university or bookmaking on the
contests Of the high school debating
league. ri
1t is true some betting is done by in
dividuals at the state fair grounds on the
legitimate races held there and that some
betting is done in the same way on foot
ball matches. This is matter, however,
which cannot be regulated by the fair
| association or the university authorities
| for obvious reasons. But the above insti-
| tutions can and do place the stamp OF
disapproval upon the gambling spirit, as
the state has done by prohibiting the sell
! ing of pools within the state. There is
| no argument of any kind that is worth a
| cent in favor of the gambling business
| 1t is 4 business that never produced any
| thing Of value. It is parasitic purely, and
| deserves no consideration at the hands
of the state or city at any time.

tows and their sails hung limp from
the rigging. Like yesterday, the boats
waited until nearly midday and then
the race was declared OFF The yachts
were then towed back to the Hook and
the few excurslonists returned TO the
city.
There seemed less chance at dawn to-
