PUSHING
FOR THE
FAIR
Douglas and Other Counties
Will Be There

Salem business men are showing
a fine spirit of enterprise in mani
Testing their readiness and willing
ness to back the Greater Salem Stake
at the fair.
Prominent citizens offer to guar
antee the $1,000 Greater Salem Stake.
Others offer to increase that stake to
$4,000 But Salem business men gen
orally refuse to donate cash to that
purse unless it is needed.
One merchant said today: "If $1,000
is needed from Salem to support the
fair on account of It's general bene-
fit to this city, we will ali get in and
raise it. But the records show that
these races for two years have more
than paid out. We will give a guar
anty that the Greater Salem Stake
race will fill, and what more can be
asked? We will increase it to $4,000.
That is the thing to do. Let the club
take this up at any meeting and ap-
point a committee to raise the guar
anty, and it will be done. But cash
donation of $1,000, as we have been
asked to give to race that pays
without, is unbusinesslike."
Pushing the Fair.
Roseburg Review, May II: Presl-
dent Downing and Secretary Moores,
of the Oregon State Board of Agricul-
ture, were here from Salem this af-
ternoon in the Interest of the coming
state fair, to be held from Septem-
ber 12 to 10, 1904. Eight cash prizes
are offered for county exhibits, rang
ing from 800 to $500 each. This Is
a strong inducement, as one of the
prizes would go far toward paying
the expense of procuring such an ex-
hibit. In addition to this, the Lewis
and Clark fair board will doubtless
purchase all meritorious non-perish-
able exhibits for use at the exposi-
ton in Portland next year. Douglas
county has as fine products in fruits,
grains, grasses and vegetables as any
county in the state, and there is no
question that our people will be we'll
repaid in sending such an exhibit to
the coming state fair.

MORE AID NEEDED

The success Of The Globe fund
for the relief Of the House Of the Good
Shepherd has been great beyond ex-
pectation. Our people have been
touched by the need Of this noble in
stitution, and many Of them have re-
sponded more than generously. The
total amount is very large to have
sent in by voluntary public subscrip-
ton in this way. and yet it is not large
enough. We hope that it may speedily
be greatly increased.
This conclusion Is enforced by a
comparison between the total amount
given and the total amount needed to
put the House of the Good Shepherd
in the position that 1t was before the
disastrous storm. 1t has been esti-
mated that $4,000 would be required
to repair the damages made. Although
$1,500 is a very handsome sum. it is
only ten per cen. OF what is required.
Moreover, it is very urgent that funds
be provided. The House of the Good
Shepherd has striven to be self-sus-
tanning. It has been an industrial. as
well as a philanthropic institution.
The machinery with which its work
has been done lies in ruins. Until
that can be restored. it's maintenance
must be an increasing charge.
We urge. therefore. again on the
public the claims of this splendid

The whole Republican attitude seems

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 81
There is some uncertainty as to wheth-
er the military cable which is to con-
meet Sitka with Valdez, Alaska, will be
laid this year. The opinion was ex-
pressed at the war department today
That on account of the lateness of the
season it would be found impossible to
complete the cable laying before the
1aH storms come ON in the gulf of
Alaska
This proposed line of cable is not
only important in itself, but it will he
the connecting link between the United
States and the land telegraph lines
which connect Valdez with the Yukon
telegraph system, and thence to all
the important points in Central and
northwestern Alaska. 1t was believed
until recently that there was little
doubt that the Sitka-Valdez line would
be completed before next winter. for
me manufacturers turned out the ma
terfal in record-breaking times. All
the cable-about 700 miles of it-and
all the other materials are ready. Tn
expected delays occurred however. in
completing the laying of the main
cable from Sitka to Seattle, and as the
burnside is the only available cable
snip Tor this work, it was necessary to
wait until the main line was completed
pefore beginning the Sitka- Valdez line.
Until the cable from Sitka to Valdez
IS laid 1t will still be necessary to
use Canadian telegraph lines for a part
OF the distance in order to send mes
sages between the United States and
all points in Alaska except Juneau,
Skagway, Fort Seward and Sitka The
land lines and delays frequently occur
on account Of the lines being out of
repair, especially in the winter season.

What the Editors Say

The poor wheat crop in the North
west this year is another argument
for smaller farms. The bonanza farm
er devotes his entire crop to wheat
When that fails he has nothing on
which to fall back. He is entirely de-
pendent On wheat and adds nothing to
the wealth of the county Or state ex-
cept from that crop. The small farmer
raises other grains. He does not risk
his chances On one particular crop and
no matter how badly some Of his eff
forts may result, others are likely to
show good results. He is able to
pay some attention to stock raising
and dairying and has a source of in
come independent Of wheat.-Fargo

The Detroit Standard remarks that
the members Of the next legislature
should not give up too much Of their
time to thinking about the election of
United States senator. That there
are other matters OF more importance
to be considered. Such as good roads
legislation and the enactment Of law
to regulate freight rates. 1t might be
suggested, however that the capacity
Of the average legislator is so great
that thought given to the selection Of
United States senator will not dis
turb his gray matter.-Mankato Free
Press.
Congressman McCIeary is an able
man and may be able to win out on
the strength Of his personal popularity,
but he is sadly out Of touch with West
ern Republicanism on the tariff. The
Eastern trust magnate, who is pocket
ing enormous profits through the shut
ting out of foreign competition, would
naturally be expected to wish to have
the tariff raised If anything, but why
a Western man who is paying the prof
Its should entertain these views is a
problem.
Editor Ell. ]. Miller, of Luverne, who
is a candidate against McCleary, is
making it lively for the present con-
gresham. Most Of the Republican
papers are favorable to Miller on &C
count Of McCfeary's extreme tariff
views. Mr.. McCleary believes in an

DEMOCRATS FOR CONGRESS


The contest for congressman in
Minnesota should now be carried into
the enemy's country. Minnesota has
but one Democratic congressman to-
day. In many years past it has had
none. There is no reason why it
should not elect several next Nevem-
Der.
Republicans have succeeded in the
past as much by Democratic hopeless
ness as by their own advantages of
situation. If you do not believe that
you are going to achieve anything, you
have already given hostages to ill for
tune. But whatever may have been
the case in the past, there is every
reason to expect success today The
people of Minnesota are ready for
vote against the main principles of
Republicanism. They need leaders,
and they need a campaign of educa-
ton. These being given, the event is
certain.
On two great questions of the day
the people are with the Democratic
party. First and foremost stands the
tariff. Farmers and workingmen of
Minnesota are it's most helpless vic
Tins. There is not man on farm
who is not taxed every day of his life
for the benefit of tariff-protected
trusts. There is not q workingman in
our cities who does not find the cost
of living enhanced in even greater de-
gree by the eXactions Of the same
monopoly. Their power and their greed
have both been exhibited now so open
ly and so contemptuously that no man
can be in doubt. The Republican
party says plainly that these condi-
tions must be preserved and these IA
vorites remain beneficiaries Of tariff
iniquity.
How generally Republicans recog-
nize this is proved by the two-faced.
attitude Of their own representatives.
MIR. McCleary is pretty nearly the only
honest Republican in the state in this
respect. Leading Republican news
papers are not ashamed to publish ar
ticles advocating revision and reduc-
ton of the tariff at the same time that
they support Republican nominees who
are distinctly under moral and spe-
cific obligation to maintain it un-
changed. Republican candidates will
admit that the tariff must be revised,
but always place the date In that in
definite future which means that re-
form will never come.
On this issue all the odds are with
the Democrats. Let them meet st
fairly and squarely. Let them declare
themselves for an immediate reduction
of the tariff aimed especially at pro-
tective combinations and monopolies.
Let them on their platform challenge
every Republican to name a time when
the tariff shall be revised. and a re-
duction that he is prepared to insist
upon having effected. The voters
have been fooled SO long by Repub-
iican falsehood and straddling that
they cannot forever be deceived.
On the second great issue we are
convinced that the heart and thought
OF the people are equally well fixed.
They are for a government of law.
They are against the overriding Of the
legislative by the executive noxrar
They are against everything summed
up in the word imperialism" They
do not want the United States to go
about carrying big club" in order
to beat out the brains Of any one who
does not agree with it. They do not
believe that this country should act po-
iceman for the rest OF the world.
