STATE
FAIR
GUARANTY
Was Offered the Board
and the Offer Is
Now Renewed
Possibility of a Three Thou
sand Dollar Purse for
the Coming Fair

The inclination to critlclse the Com
Enercial club for not having raised the
$4,000 cash purse for the Greater Sa
1em stake at the state fair is founded
on a misapprehenslon Of the facts
The officers of the club consulted with
the business men of Salem and were
offered guaranty that the purse fol
the Greater Salem stake would fill
and made that offer to the state fair
Board, but 1t was refused. They
wanted the cash, when the business
men offered guaranty.
The report Of the state fair secre
Tary shows that for the past two years
the Greater Salem stake has more
than paid from entries alone and 1t is
mot easy to see why the Salem bust.
mess men should put up cash for
races that more than fill The gen.
eral custom in such cases is to offer
n guaranty that the purse will fill,
and that guaranty is ready at any
time the state fair board wants 1t.
There are a score of Salem business
men who will guaranty that $4,000
purse will fll, and will even guaranty
that $4,000 purse will fill. There is
no occasion for finding fault with the
Commercial club or with the Salem
business men who always subscribe
Aiberally for any worthy enterprise.
A Business Man Talks.
A prominent Salem business man
was seen this morning and said:
"This mornings Statesman advises
the people of Salem to wake up and
hang up that $4,000 purse for the state
fair. The people of Salem and state
fair board had better wake up to the
fact Of having track to race on first,
SO far there has been no track and
the outlook is very discouraging
whether there will be any at fair
time or not The weather has been
eall that could be asked for in putting
the track in condition.
THE fair board should see at once
that someone goes to work and puts
that track In shape Horsemen are
writing and coming almost every day
TO see about 1t, and IL 1t had been in
proper shape there would be a hun
dred horses there today. Put the track
In shape and have someone keep it in
shape.
There will be no trouble about the
people Of Salem guaranteeing the $4,000
purse. but they will not subscribe $500
or $1,000 and pay that II the entries
pay the $4,000, They have had that
and what they want to do is to guar
antee the $4,000. and nothing more.
Any 10 business men in Salem
will do that, or what is better still, Of
fer $4,000 purse and have 20 or 30 men
guarantee IT, They wouldn't have to
pay cent, and would get the best
horses In America to come here"

tenn under party management. Prl
mary elections, managed by the mem.
bers of the parties themselves, are
schools of training in self govern
ment, which is the foundation of free
institutions. Does not true statesman.
ship demand that these free assem-
blies of the electors be preserved and
not suppressed? State regulation has
bills of its own which should give us
cause. 1t means more laws, more Of
ficialism, more taxes, more axes laid
at the root Of the tree of self govern
ment. Are these light things and to
be vo-ed with light heart? This bill
will cost the tax payers 100000, bi.
annually, according to the Salem cor
respondent of the Oregonian, February
9Th.
A cost of $4,000 is admitted by ad-
vocates of the bill. And all these
things are to be loaded upon us to do
something which can be done without
cost, and probably far better, by the
free action Of the electors. Surely
the wisdom of such legislation is very
questionable.
When we take up the bill itself on
its merits we soon begin to think that
1t is wrongly entitled; that it should
be called "a Bill to Establish Party
Supremacy" for party breathes
through every pore of 1t.
The preamble contains a body of
political precepts which are exactly
in the vein of thought of the machine
boss. It opens with the declaration
that political parties are useful and
necessary at the present time. They
certainly are useful and necessary to
the boss; they are to him as the breath
Of life. But whether useful and
necessary to the people is not so clear
Burke, who has been called the great
sponsor of party, does not say So
Party divisions" he says in his OBJ
seryations on a late publication, |
whether operating on the whole for
good or evil, are things inseparable |
rom free government" He does not
lay that free governments could not
exist without them, but rather that |
hey are inseparable, as measles and |
whooping cough are inseparable from
infancy. It is a question whether free |
governments can permanently exist
with them. Parties are the great in
itrument," said a great man, DIR.
by which free govern.
nents are divided and destroyed"
The preamble further goes on to de-
,lare that every political party has"
he same right to be protected from
Interference of persons who are not
Identified with 1t" as the state has to
prevent illegal registration and vot.
ng.
This is a wild statement. Note the |
Importance given to party. But the
bill provides no such protection to
party as the state provides, to prevent
Illegal voting, and cannot do 1t with.

Rives Commencement Exercises.

Last week closed the tenth year
of the Rives Graded School under
the principalship of Prof. w. H.
Cook. The commencement eXer-
cises began Monday evening May
10, by a lecture on "The Woman
with the Broom, delivered by Rev.
e. S. Harris, of Clinton Ky.
Though the weather was very in
clement a respectable audience
greeted the lee. Every one
who heard the lecture pronounced it
master piece, and all desire that
Rev. Harris may again lecture to
us on the same or some other sub
iect.
The written examinations having
been completed the previous week,
Tuesday and Wednesday of last
week were devoted to public exam
nations, at which many of the pat
rons and friends of the school were
present. The students acquitted
themselves we'll md were recipients
of many compliments by the audi
ence.
Wednesday evening was devoted
to music, drills, plays and panto-
mime. The program was rendered
by students of the literary and
m usic departments combined,
Misses Clemmons, Bonner, McCaw,
Mcleod and Mrs. Fanny Harper
doing the training for this exercise.
Everything on the program for that
evening was a success, not failure
being recorded against any one.
Thursday evening, May 10, be-
ginning at 8 o'clock, were the COM
mencement exercises proper. Long
ere the exercises began the house
was filled with the elite of Rives
and community. The stage was
tastefully decorated and brightly |
Banks of flowers
beautified the stage and permeated |
the room with sweetest odors. On
the stage, in crescent, were ar
the graduates-.hve manly
Youths and ten beautiful, sweet
girls. We have seen many gradu-
ltes in various schools, on stages
and fronting large audiences, but
we have not yet seen any who sur
passed these fifteen young men and

regular U. S. army for three years,
served out time and was honorably
discharged, re-enlisted and served
about four months and died. He
was the second son of Mr.. and Mrs.
T. K. Smoot and was wellknown in
Union City.
Mr.. T, F. Stubs, treasurer and
manager of the Morgan-Hardy
Grain Co., informs us that this
mammoth concern has just closed a
very successful seasons business.
The plant has been closed down
for few weeks for repairs, during
which time another larger engine
and another shelter will be INSTALL
ed and the capacity of the plant
doubled The work will be COM
pleted and the plant put in ship
shape by the time the wheat crop
begins to move. The Office build
ing of this company, on First street,
is nearing completion and will be
one of the best grain buildings in
this section.
Mr.. w. D. Williams, who has Just
completed tour of the wheat belt
in the great Union City country in
the interest of harvesting machin-
cry concern, informs The CONNER
cial that the wheat prospect in
this section is better at present
than it has been for years, and with
favorable weather for the next few
weeks a great many farms of wheat
will produce an average of from IS
to 40 bushels per acre. Corn and
oats are looking we'll and the farm
ers of Obion county-the backbone
of the country and the best people
on earth are looking well, feeling
good, and will be entirely excusable
if they talk just wee bit saucy
during the next twelve months.
Col. w. P. Morris, Of Pleasant
Hill, last Monday placed The Com
under lasting obligations
to him by bringing in and present
ing to us without money and with
out price the largest case of the
strawberries we have seen
in a whole life time. cold John
Barleycorn,' as Col. Morris is
familiarly known, is sure enough
good one. He always does the
right thing ii the proper place and
says the right thing at the correct
time. He is tender hearted and
possesses a head full of horse sense;
he is one of the best fellows on
earth, deservedly popular ia Obion
where he has thousands of
