The State Fair.

The Minnesota state fair, probably en-
titled, without idle boasting, to designa-
ton as the greatest of state fairs, will
begin next Monday and last turnout the
week. There Is every reas onsto believe
that. as usual, 1t will be successful ex-
hibition, attended by thousands: the
source OF entertainment to all and instruc-
ton and inspiration to many.
The fair will have its frivolous features,
and it's races, of course, for no fair would
be a fair or draw a crowd without some
nonsense and some pure amusement and
diversion. The farmers and country peo-
pie who attend the fair largely for the
ideas it may give them would not be
tempted to come in such numbers if they
looked upon the fair as altogether an
Institutional and educational institution.
They require to have pleasure mixed
with business and amusement with profit.
With many farmers state fair week has
come to be the occasion Of an annual
outing, and tho it is not all play with
ordinary course Of life. 'e
It is somewhat trite to speak Of the
educational value of the fair, but its work
in this regard Is so large and so impor-
tant that 1t never does harm to remind
the public Of 1t. Probably not even the
state agricultural school, all things con
sidered has done more than the fair to
improve agriculture in Minnesota and
make 1t respected and the farmers self
respecting. Minnesota, for all It's great
forests, mines and manufactures, is essen
TALLY an agricultural state; and one of its
greatest manufacturing industries, flour
milling, is directly dependent upon the
success of agriculture.
Owing to the existence of free trade
turnout the states and territories of the
union, certain parts, Of the country are
likely always to be Of especial Importance

others will lead In manufactures. Mime

Washington, Dec. 9.-Chairman Foss

fairs had a conference with the Pres
ident to-day regarding the attitude OF
Congress during the present session to-
ward increased naval construction. The
subject is being given careful consid-
Grafton by the President and by Con-
gress. The President has urged Con-
gress not to relax it's efforts in the up
building of the navy. and has recon-
mended that provision be made for a
general staff of the navy, similar to
that provided for the army.
No conclusion yet has been reached
regarding the appropriation to be made
at the present session for the con-
etruction of war vessels. Opposition
to great appropriations for naval con-
struction has developed among some
influential members of both the SEN
ate and the House. but on the other
hand, the sentiment in favor of con-
tinuing the authorization of fighting
ships is very strong. Mr.. Foss de-
clined to indicate what. in his opinion,
might be the result of the general dis
cussion of the question.
