THE NEW STATE FAIR.

'HHE HERALD notes with pleasure
that a new order OF things is 10
be instituted at the Utah state fair
this year. The people are to be Of
fercd attractions that win make them
want 10 go. The great trouble with
past fairs. and the chief reason why
they have almost without exception
lost money. has been the lack Of
amusements. AS Director General
Mcdonald wei says, you can get peo-
pie TO look at exhibits of various kinds
after they reach the fair grounds, but
you can't get them out to the grounds
merely TO look at exhibits.
Without i'm the least departing from
the original purpose Of the state fair
insutution. Mr.. Mcdonald, who has
the cordial support Of President En-
peg and other officers of the associa-
ton. viii put in a line Of amusements
such as Salt Lake and Utah people
rarely have an opportunity to see for
q small sum of money. BY this means
it SIS hoped that the fair of 1903 viii
at least pay expenses. perhaps a little
more.
day. Governor Wells and Mayor
Thompson have requested the mer-
chants and business men to close
their stores and their Offices in order
that they and their employees may
have at least one opportunity Of see
ing the fair. The request is for the
afternoon only. While The Herald ap-
preciates the fact that expenses go on
whether stores and Offices are open or
Inconvenience as a result of the clos
ing. the sacrifice is not so great that
all cannot afford to make it.
The state fair is not private, but a
public institution. 1t has been main
tanned in past years by appropriations
from the state treasury and this year
furnishes no exception to the rule.
This is on the theory that public APP
preparations for premiums stimulate
the individuals who compete for the
prizes To a friendly rivalry that can
not fail To result in good for the state.
Indeed. great good has already result
ed from the state fair
The growing OF fruit, the raising of
fine cattle and sheep and swine. man
ufacturing Industries of all kinds have
been stimulated and improved. This
is the purely business view. Another
aspect of the state fair which is hardly
less important i the social side. There
PEOPLE from an over the state gather,
there they renew old acquaintance
and establish new friendships. The
city merchant meets his customer, the
farmer the stockman, the fruit raiser
exchange ideas to their mutual benefit.
From every standpoint the state fair
is a good thing and it should be en-
outraged The way to encourage il is
90 so out TO see it. The Herald hopes
the attendance this year viii be the
largest i'm the history Of the associa-
ton.

THE RURAL VOTER.


FORMER President Cleveland. i'm an
article written for the Saturday
Evening Post on Rural Political De-
cadence" is alarmed at what he be-
Heves is a tendency on the part of the
rural voter to become corrupt. This
may be true of some communities,
especially in the thickly settled east,
but in the middle west and the far
west, where the farms are widely
scattered, the farmer ana the farmers
SONS are as independent in their pO-
litical views as they ever were and as
honest.
There is one CIevelandian sentence
in the article which VIII bear repro
duction, for It shows the bent of the
writer's mind He says:
I'm the constantly nearer approach
OF city influence to rural communities,
and the closer relationship between
them, in the tendency toward rural dis
content born of increasing familiarity
with the apparent ease and wealth Of
city life. and. more than all. in the
Hstless indifference 20 political con-
viction prevailing among those in
small communities who have by ruth
less monopoly been crushed out Of
business life and banished from an in
dependent and proprietary participa-
ton in their country's material devel-
,opment. the political boss and the un-
scrupulous manipulation of politics for
ignoble and unpatriotic ends find their
opportunity"
Mr.. Cleveland, now as always, seems
to be laboring under the impression
that there is no United States west OF
the Mississippi, or, at best, west Of the
Missouri. 1t is true that in the east
ern states, where lines of electric rail-
way connect every town and every
village. the communication between
city and country is constant and un-
interrupted. 1t is true that in them
the political bosses have found it easy
to make Roadway, as witness Delaware
and Addicks, Pennsylvania and Quay,
Ohio and Hanna, and so on.
If Mr.. Cleveland could be induced to
come west. however. he would find a
different state Of case. The people
are. as a rule. more Independent, they
think more for themselves. and they
are less likely to be corrupted than
anywhere else.

One Of the object lessons which are so
easy to find in the west in demonstra-
ton of the value of irrigation reached
The Herald yesterday in the form Of a
box Of magnificent peaches from the
orchard of A. S. Martin, principal Of the
Grant school. Mr. Martin has a place
Of five acres on Tenth South, near
what would be Twentieth East street,
if the city limits ran out that far. It is
devoted entirely to peaches and cher
ries. The soil is perfectly adapted to
fruit raising, as Mr.. Martins peaches
show. but there is a Scarcity Of water.
If the government will complete the
Utah lake reservoir plan Dir. Martin is
confident that not less than fifteen
miles of land along the southeast bench
would be reclaimed.

,cial to Times- Ire publican.

Special to Times Republican.
Davenport. Jan. 31.--Clay Wood,
owner of the Iowa Theater here, has
teen arrested charged with construct
ing the building In violation of the city
ordinance regulating such construction.
1t is claimed that instead of erecting
the building of brick it was made of
boards and after an objection was made
he simply built up an outer wall of
brick and fastened it TO the boards
If such is the case the entire rear
end of the building can be torn down
under the supervision of the building
committee by the city ordinance.
The principal effect Of the arrest.
however. is to effectually close UP the
theater for some time to come, at least
until the matter is settled in the dis
trict court, and the officials state that
the building as it stands will be con-
demned by the authorities.
This is the first time that structure
is alleged to have been erected contrary
to the laws. or at least the first of any
prominence.
