THE NEW COUNTY FAIR.
Sac SUM-

|
| There remains little or old. time ag-
ricultural fair in the modern county
fair. Take away the races by trained
horses from abroad, take away the
shows and the grafters and but little
would remain on the grounds to IL
terest crowds. That must be admitted.
Yet it must be conceded that on the
whole the educative effect of the aver
age county fair is far from healthful
considered from any standpoint that
relates to the welfare Of the commun-
ity. The query whether some of the
more questionable amusements and the
professional grafters and gamblers
ought not to be excluded from every
fair ground whatever the effect upon
the financial balance, is not an open
one. There can be only one answer
from the standpoint of good citizenship.
Lawlessness permitted in any guise ed
ucates the youth to disrespect author-
ity, to disregard the principles of NOR
atty, and to compromise with crime.
1t is not impracticable to find plenty of
attractions that will take the place of
those Of the baser sort and it is pract-
icable to make the agricultural inter-
ests more attractive For instnace the
exhibit of livestock and Of farm ma
chinery at the Sac county fair this
year was very creditable, and, but for
the babble of diverting noises, would
have attracted much attention. A tent
was erected for the first time for the
judging of the livestock. Possibly this
might still be improved upon and con-
veniences added TO make it pleasant
for the crowd to watch the stock judg
ing by an expert as may be done in the
big pavilion on the state fair grounds.
There are competitions besides racing
horses that can be made to hold the
attention of the people from the coun-
try. 1t is probable that the presence
of horde of grafters in the long run
keeps more people away from the fair
than it brings. Those whom it keeps
away are the substantial citizens OF
the various communities who are dis
gusted with the various schemes that
are laid to entrap and rob them. Ii the
management of the fairs will seek hon
estly to exclude the bad and make tn
permissible as attractive as possible the
financial outcome, With favoring
weather, will be better than under con-
ditions now general in the fairs Of
northwest Iowa.

THE T..R. CRITICISED.

The editor of the Tines Republican
has solicited and received suggestions
from a hundred or more of his friends
iamong the publishers of county papers
as to improvements in the quality of
his newspaper. The replies drifted
largely into criticism. mostly favorable,
OF what has been done. but many q
good suggestion was offered which will
prove of great value to the men of the
Times Republican office and the editor
wishes TO extend publicly his thanks
for the courtesies received. Not all of
the suggestions made can be adopted
of course. the county editors them
selves did not agree on many feature
and occasionally the business office has
vetoed plan proposed, but the Times
Republican in the future will endeavor
TO put into operation several news fea-
lures which will make 1t a newsier
sheet and which will show TO its friend

THE "sMART" LITERATURE.

Mrs. Poultney Bigelow's new novel,
THE Middle Course" is one of those
stories that will be read and recognized
as faithful to a type. 1t concerns a
woman whose husband failed to meet
her idealism and a SCULPTOR with a sor-
row which apparently does not prevent
him from holding a teEdresse toward
married women silly enough to sympa-
thize with his burden of unrequited aft
Election, which does not. however, seem
to affect his appetite. Her husband was
|cold. He was stingy and allowed her
but $400 annually for dress. Her soul
grows sick of the common place hus-
band and as tonic for soul sickness
she meets Moorlake, the sculptor, clan
destinely. Her husband surprises them
Just as she kisses Moorlake goodbye
and accuses her of infidelity. In the
dialogue that ensues she truthfully as
serts her innocence of this particular
accusation and avows hsr love for the
sculptor, who does not love ner. fteI
husband leaves her there and gets a
divorce. Later she and the sculptor
marry.
Without doubt the novel is true to
certain phases of life in what we term
Society" but its influence is degenera-
tive and its place is outside the home.
Perhaps it deals faithfully with a type
and its analysis of the heroine's mo-
tives is correct. She was woman not
utterly lost when her husband cast her
away, but weak and ready to be bad
and the false sympathy with which the
author surrounds her carries the
germs of contamination to other wom-
en- whose husbands fai! to fulfill the
ideals of their wives.
There has of late grown up ten
dency toward fiction of The Middle
Course" class. Respectable people read
It as respectable people flock to Pine
ro's plays. 1t is the same impulse that

A WRONG IDEA.
Huntington Hawkeye.]

One of the arguments in favor of
biennial elections is to the effect, that
the innovation will save money.
Well, suppose that we changed our
constitution and held our elections at
the close of successive ten-year peri
DDS, then of course, we should save still
more money. And upon the same line
of figuring, we should be piling up un-
told wealth by simply abolishing the
franchise and doing away with cleo
tons.
Back of the proposition to reduce the
number of elections, there lies an en-
tirely erroneous conception Of politics.
And a pretty widely accepted one at
that. 1t is the belief of many that
there is something wrong about poll
tics; that politics means waste of time,
waste of money, waste of reputation;
that politics is something to be
Stunned and avoided. Then we hear
that politics interferes with business;
the complaint is voiced that political
campaigns have an injurious effect
upon commerce and trade. All that is
either un-A American or immaterial.
Politics is not a trade. not a special
calling, occupation. sport or fad. .it Is
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1903-08-25

not even privilege. 1t is a solemn
obligation, it is the highest duty of the
American TO engage in politics. This
| is a government of the people, by the
| people and for the people. And politics
is simply conducting this government
| of the people and for the people by the
| people Politics does not necessarily
mean office hunting, but it does mean
an active interest and participation in
| all public affairs, careful scrutiny of
men and measures. Politics and patri-
otism ought to be identical. Their OBJ
| ject is the perpetuation and the prog
ress of the republic. The man who
shuns politics, who contemptuously de-
| cines to mix in that business, who
| does not do his full duty along those
| lines, is q bad citizen. He is even
worse than the fellows who manipu-
! late primaries, city and county, state
| and national conventions There is no
difference between the ignorant citizen
who sells his vote, or who blindly fol-
lows his leader and the other citizen,
who refuses to mix in politics. and who
does not find it worth while to bother
his head about primaries, conventions
and election days.
Even if it We're to be granted true,
that campaigns exercise an injurious
influence upon business, what then
would be the reply? Surely it could
be no other than: $50 much the worse
for business. With all due respect to
commerce and trade, there are more
important things than buying and SELL
ing. than dollars and cents in this
country. And as self-preservation is
the first law of nature, so politics
must be the first and highest duty of
American citizens" The fathers
builded wisely and took all those mat
tiers under consideration. And we shall
not be going wrong, If we refrain from
tampering with the constitution and if
we cling to the system of annual cleo
tons. 1t has many manifest advan-
tages.
Guilt has very quick ears to an accu
acknowledging.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.
The Boone Republican observes
Mr.. Bryan has found il possible with
out inconvenience to himself to pur-
chase team of horses for $1,000. The
keokuk Gate City notes thas as 'anoth-
er illustration Of how the country is
being ruined under the gold stand

The Iowa City Republican declares:
"A legislator who would favor state
constabulary is too much of an enemy
of free government to be worthy of a
seat in legislative body and he should
be defeated at the polls, no matter to
what party he belongs"
THE capitalization of railroads has
been so strained" asserts the Cedar
Rapids Gazette. that the payment for

once felt in Wall street. The murder of

The servant girl problem and ali
other labor problems" prophesies the
Manson Democrat. will be settled,
whether satisfactorily or not, within
the next twelve months. BY that time
anybody who will work at all will be
mighty willing to accept job
The Dubuque Times thinks "even
state assessors could not list mortgages
equltably under the present law, for
the law itself is inequitable. An equita-
BILE law would tax the instrument with
out regard TO whether the owner lived
in the country or in the city, in the
should operate like the stamp taxes
levied by the federal government The
attempt to apply the general property
tax to mortgages always has failed and
always will fail while a tax on the In
strument would work as equitably and
inevitably as federal tax on bank
checks"

elastic currency means rubber credit"
asserts the Keokuk Gate City.
: The Mapleton Press suggests that eff
a man doesn't want to be a hen-pecked
husband he shouldn't lay around the
house"
.'Vote for the amendment. Do this
much if you do not vote for a single
man on the ticket" advises the Wood
ward Enterprise. There is no sense in
spending money for an election every
year. For the political dailies and pap
sucking weeklies 1t might not be so
fine a thing but to the rest Of the peo-
pie will come a great relief from Office
seekers and the expense OF half of an
election. There is not one single, sensi-
bic reason for having elections. every
year"
The Knoxville Express says: 1.-TWO
newspapers seem to fill all require
ments in Knoxville. The business COM
munity has long felt that three news
papers in town like Knoxville are too
many. It's good thing to have plen-
ty, but enoughs enough of anything.
A multiplicity of newspapers serves no
better purpose than would a multi
plicity of postoffices, unless they are
needed. The news papers can better
serve the public when the field is not
over crowded, and the business men
feel that their annual advertising APP
preparation will do more good In two
newspapers than three. One thing Is
sure: The publisher can and will fur
nish better papers than when the in
come needed for two was divided

 ''Is this America? Is this right? Such conditions indicate clearly tendency to anarchy; and anarchy for the negro will terminate in anarchy for all men.
 "The number of those of our race who are now accused of the nameless crime against woman is so small compared with the whole number that it is scarcer ly necessary to discuss this as a distinct crime. Yet we make no plea for any man who may be proved guilty of this crime; our plea is for law and for the protection of the innocent.
 Tt is now clearly evident that the purpose of those who first started os- tensibly to disfranchise the ignorant negro has been broadelled and strength ened. Their purpose now includes al- most all negroes. In certain of the states this result has already been achieved and thousands of qualified men are denied positively and absolute ly the right to vote. In such states taxation without representation pre- vails as truly as ever it did when Eng land held control over the American colonies.
