sion the Bulletin has no mercy on our
souls. We can think of no way in
which we could conform to the Bulle-

persistent and open violation of law

where they would subscribe half the
stock and then the work of getting the
farmers interested began. Happily
there were five or six farmers who
were ready to help and these consent
ed to go with the business men and
solicit stock. In some localities
hardly farmer would listen to the
proposition. but in others the respose
was goud. At last after strenuous
endeavor enough stock was taken and
organization made. Next came the
plan to gain majority vote of the
electors to authorize the board OF
supervisors to buy in the name of the
county, land for fair ground. With
strong feeling against. it required
the most diplomatic work to have the
tax proposition carry. At the cleo
tion the tax carried by less thar
twenty five majority. That was
gained by untold work and hustling to
have to the right vote out. In the
meantime the first fair came on with
all its worry and work. One day
there was rain but an extra day was
added and in the round up the receipts
were considerably above the expenses.
So the fair at Mason City is on a
firm basis
We have given those facts to show
what live business men can do. how
victory can come after most discourag-
ing beginning. The example of
what was done at Mason City by the
business men and strong progressive
farmers can be done in other counties.
The large sum pledged for the hospi-
tal-new hotel-opera house, propo-
sition here at Denison is yet another
case in point. Here the enthusiasm
must not lag. but those behind the
various enterprises make a big push
together for the full fruition of the
great undertaking.

THE REWARD OF ENDEAvoR.

We note that at Mason City there
was just taken place an old fashion
county fair lasting four days. and
that the receipts exceed expenses over
$25OO We are in position to know
ito some extent what work. the launch
ing out of this fair has meant to the
men behind it. The county fair asso-
citation organized by early settlers and
conducted in the old fashioned way,
had died natural death in Cerro
aGordo, much after the way the sister
society died in Crawford. 1t seemed
almost a hopeless a task to talk of
>resurrecting the old,or forming new
fair society. The business men of
Marshalltown had, however taken up
similar proposition and made it a
success. and the question came up
whether Mason City could not do as
well.
The man who took up the project
among the business men was Mr.. Will
Patten, member of one of the leading
clothing firms. He wrote circulars to
the farmers but received no response
worthy to warrant going ahead with
the Undertaking. He was not dis
couraged but insisted that the fair
must come. Finally he aroused the
Mason City business men to the point

A MATTER OF REGRET.

1t is matter of sincere regret to
US that we seem unable to run the
Review to suit the Bulletin. We
have tried in many ways to be con-
ciliatory and to rid Denison of the
senseless curse of newspaper war.
We have kept silent after one attack
and then another. For the sake OF
the welfare of the community, we
have swallowed, without comment.

really we are so little affected that il

FAIR PLAY FOR FAIRBANKS

Sac Sun-The Interior. a Presbyte-
rian newspaper published at Chicago.
as we'll as the Northwestern Christian
Advocate. a Methodist newspaper,
last week contained reference to the
cocktail incident which was instru-
mental in defeating Vice President
Charles w. Fairbanks in his candidacy
for delegate from the laymen of an
Indiana conference to the general
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church. The prominence of the de-
feated candidate and the fact that his
defeat was attributed to the serving
Of cocktails at dinner given to Pres
ident Roosevelt. caused the incident
to be widely noticed. Both the news
papers mentioned. stated upon the
highest authority that the serving OF
Intoxicating liquors at that dinner
was done without the previous
knowledge or consent of Mr.. Fair
banks and that he drank none of the
liquor himself. He easily could have
shifted the blame where it belongs,
had he been sufficiently ungallant to
involve we'll meaning neighbor and
friend of his wife's. but he would not
do so. The Sun is no great admirer
of Mr.. Fairbanks. but it has no
sympathy with the Incorporate use
of rumors by so-called friends Of tenn
perance. The use of the cocktail in
cident in that case was no more un-
just. however. than the opposition to
the election of Senator Dolllver as a
lay delegate from Northwest Iowa OH
the ground that he voted wrong in the
Smoot case. Had Senator Dolliver
been demagogue instead of states
man he would have laid aside his con-
scientious conviction that there was
no constitutional ground for unseating
Smoot and would have voted in a way
to please the radical haters of Nor
monism. who alone of his constituents
were taking interest in the case.

THEY ARE HEATHEN"

During the days of the recent trial
of the Hassan brothers for murder
there has been speculation as to what
is the religious belief of the prisoners.
The father has been seen going
through certain ceremonies which
seemed to be acts of worship. but in
truth nothing was known as to what
branch of religious faith the family
belonged. : While on the witness
stand Joseph Hassan was inquired of
by the attorney for the state as to
what religious faith he protested and
he replied. 1.-THE Druses'. He said he
believed in supreme being but old
not go further. as objection was made
by his counsel that the details of his
religion was in no way evidence in the
case.
Father Farrelly of the Catholic
church made some inquiry of Syrian
who was Catholic of the Greek rite.
as to the Hassan boys and the man
replied. they are heathen''. Father
Farrelly recalls when he visited the
Holy Land that he saw some of the
people represented by the Hassan
boys. They live in squalid villages
trying to gain a livelihood raising a
little grain and few grapes OH an
unfertile stony soil. They have
nothing of the Christ or the bible in
their religion. They are not
Mohamedans. but never the-less class
with them and not with the professed
Christians.
1t was from such surroundings as
this that the Hassan boys came to
Iowa. Solomon could not read or
write his own language. although a
boy of exceptional brightness, and was
taught to read and write the Syrian
after coming to Fort Dodge and this
vicinity. There is story in connec-
ton with the trial and the brightness
of the Syrian boys at an early age
in which Judge Slabaugh of Omaha,
one of the lawyers for the prisoners
figures. it coming out in the testl-
mony how Joe but, twenty two had
been in this country six years doing

N. p. Advertising

We are glad to add to our list of ad-
vertisers the Northern Pacific railway
company. The N. P. is pretty good
road and we like to travel on it even if
we do have to pay fare just like any
body else. But as a matter of fact, the
transportation and advertising business
has gotten down to the proper basis. If
the editor travels he ought to pay just
as other people do, and if the railway
wants advertising it should also pay.
This same rule would be good thing,
if applied to some other sorts of free (?)
advertising done by the local country
papers. Only in the latter case, the To-
cal paper mostly does the advertising
free and the editor buys his ticket or
pays his admission just like everybody
else. Maybe, the legislature will some
time make an anti-pass law to these
also.

Two Cent Fare

The two-cent fare on all the railways
went into effect in Minnesota OH We'd
nesday The fare on the Great North
ern from st. Vincent to st. Paul, dis
lance 800 miles, is now $3.50. From
Pembina via the N. P. the rate is still
S1l.3 difference of $3.50. Buy buying
ticket from Pembina to East Grand
Forks at $3.50 and then buying a ticket
from there on the same road at 1886,
one would save $2.35, and of course by
doing the same at any station along
either road, by buying ticket as far as
the state boundary line, similar saving
of fare can be made. If the roads at
tempted to hurry through the boundary
line stations te block this game, or just
to save getting off the train, all that is
necessary would be to buy the boundary
line ticket by mail. From circulars re-
ceived by local railway officials it is ap-
parent that the roads in this state are
preparing new schedules and that they
will meet these new rates in the near
future. Any way the new two-and-half
cent rate of this state will go into effect
on July LIST, and then the differ
ence will not be very great at best.
