county can meet and discuss this very
important matter9
JAMES ELLIOTT.


THE OBSERVER desires to lend its
heartiest Endorsement to Mr.. Elliott's
advocacy of a County Fair. and we
believe that a large majority Of the
people OF Polk county are strongly in
favor OF such an enterprise. Senti-
ment in favor of an annual County
Fair has been growing steadily for
many years, stimulated largely by the
success Of the goat shows, poultry ex-
hibits, apple fairs, and other indus
trial exhibitions. and all that is needed
to get the enterprise under way is for
few enterprising farmers and busi-
ness men to take the lead, The people
will be found ready and anxious to do
their part. While indorsing Mr..
Elliott's views on the County Fair
question, the OBSERVER cannot tolerate
for a moment his assertion that the
people are being humbugged by the
goat shows. apple fairs. and other
special shows. Mr.. Elliott is an
enterprlsing farmer and a conscien-
tious citizen, but he is clearly in the
wrong when he attempts to build up a
County Fair by belittling the work Of
the men who have made these special
shows such a valuable factor In the
of Polk county. The
Goat show alone has done more to
Polk county In every state
in the Union than all other agencies
combined, and it has also built up
and strengthened an industry that not
only brings thousands of dollars to
the pockets of the farmers each year
but is of more value than all other
agencies in clearing the waste lands
and preparing them for profitable cul-
;ivation. The Apple Show, held in
Dallas last Fall, did more to quicken
interest in fruit-growing than could
lave been accomplished by talk in
orty years. While the exhibit was
mall, it demonstrated the fact that
Polk county is capable Of producing
Ipples equal to the best in the world,
1here care and intelligence is exer-
ised In handling the orchards, and {
he farmers went home with a deter {
to produce better fruit in
lture by trimming and spraying
leir long neglected trees and convert
lg into source of profit one portion G
the farming industry that for I
lany years had yielded them no rev.
nue. whatever. The Poultry Shows
ave added to the wealth of the county
nd the benefits OF the School Child f,
9n's Industrial Fair last Fall were V
reat beyond measure. The OBSERVER
sleeves that Polk county will have a
ounty Fair, and that soon but il
lch an enterprise is established, it G
III be because these special shows fC
I'VE paved the way for it by educat- b
g people to the value of the greater
hibition. The promoters of the
oat Show and other special shows
e the strongest advocates of Sc
'unty Fair and stand ready to do d
cir full share in getting the project
der way. Let us have the County
Iir, but let us continue to encourage
d support the smaller shows until q
ch time as the people shall see fit to B
mbine them all in one big exhibit

that required of our foreiathers, as
our chances are better than were
theirs. America, like England hun
bred years ago, expects every man
to do his duty today; the limits Of
that duty are his endowments by
birth, their development by oppor-
tunity and the environments in which
he lives. Her standards are high and
true American citizenship is equally

SOWING SEEDS.

The people of Hartford owe a debt
of thanks to Mr.. Eugene Tucker, Of
Forest Hill, and Mr.. Joseph Crumlish,
of Fallston, for their helpful atten-
ton to the spiritual welfare of the
unfortunates at our county aims
house.
1t has not seemed practicable to
officially provide regular religious
services at the almshouse, yet there
is something pitifully sad and serious
to think that these unfortunates,
who are fast approaching life's sun
set, are not able to attend public
worship, and drop out of sight and
across the River without spiritual
instruction and consolation. A sad
sequel to this is that they are gener-
ally inferred without religious cere-
mony, and they are lost to the world
as drop of water is lost in the sea.
However, these two enthusiastic
laymen have voluntarily shouldered
this branch of their Masters work
and now hold regular religious SER
vices at the almshouse, which we
gather are gladly attended by their
feeble auditors.
Not content to merely speak words
of comfort, they have aimed to add
spiritual warmth and attraction by
introducing music into their meet
ings, but have been handicapped for
want of an instrument.
By some means unknown to the
writer they have secured an organ,
which on Monday last was gener-
ously offered to the County Commits
sioners for the use of the almshouse
and by them gratefully accepted.
1t is not claimed that their musical
standard is in keeping with that of
Mozart, or that it would even charm
the fastidious taste of an exacting
public; but few will doubt that it
soothes the troubled breasts of these
frail old mortals and lightens and
brightens the burdens of their declin-
ing days.
These two men are engaged with
their own business from early morn
till late at night for six days in the
week but who will doubt that they
are preparing for their largest divi-
dend while attending to the Kings
business on Sunday afternoon !?
There is lots Of room for more helpers;
who wants a chance in this profit
sharing?

THE ANNUAL STATEMENT.

The annual statement Of receipts
and disbursements for Hartford coun-
ty for the year ending April 20 last,
and published in our issue of last
week, should receive careful con-
sideration at the hands Of taxpayers
and good citizens.
1t will not only strike the ordinary
reader as being lucid and business
like, but it has on it the impress of
accuracy in all gifts details which
will be abundantly satisfying to all
who are willing to be satisfied. This
assertion is made advisedly because
when an expert investigation is made
by a committee whose work for
thoroughness and accuracy has never
before been questioned or criticised
and the organ of the Republican
party says, as it did two weeks ago,
that they "only scratched the sur
face" it will not be be expected that
the present statement will be treated
with more fairness although it was
prepared under the counsel and pub
lished over the signature of expert
accountant, John S. Holt.
The total receipts for the year are
1921, 359.87; but it is interesting to
note that a considerable part of this
large sum did not come from tax
payers, besides including the state
levy of $31, 236.36.
The State paid towards per
manent road.................... $l4, 400 81
The Woolsev estate towards
permanent roads............... 1000 90
Private contributions to-
wards public roads........... us 90
Sundry other sources includ
money borrowed & repaid 1882 50

the public school received. 4O,500 co
Permanent road improve
ment ................................ 1886 sc
Maintenance of public high
ways............ .................. 25,4O2 &C
Circuit Court. 1854 Al
The most interesting feature of the
whole statement TO the average
citizen will be that the year is closed
with cash in bank amounting tC
$9,529.5S besides several thousand
dollars still due the county.
Remembering that at this time last
year many of our people were led tc
believe that the county was ovel
$50, 900 in debt, and that they came
pressing to the County Commission
ers' office satisfied that it was on the
verge of financial ruin, and remember
ing that our tax rate for the past
year was not raised one cent to &C
complish this result, we commend tc
the people for their Fourth of July
musings the proposition that Har
ford is not likely to go into the hand:
of a receiver at all; and that present
results have been brought about BY
a Democratic administration which
has been ceusured and maligned tc
the limit of the English language.
Is not it fact that in the end truth
Just as much as murder, will "out ?

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

So active and onward is the trend
of American life we scarcely dare
suggest that even on the great ami
versary of our nations birth we
pause to glance backward if only for
a little. And yet it is by measuring
backward that we can dare to look
into the dim, distant future. Our
powers of speech fail to express what
seem to be the i1limitable resources
of our country; but it is entirely
possible to calmly review the basic
principle on which their development
has rested.
In our judgment the first propo-
sition of our chart of liberty, the
Declaration of Independence, has
been more generally misunderstood
and misinterpreted, more tossed
about as a political foot ball with
which to fool the public and mislead
the ignorant and the innocent than
any other human utterance.
When it was declared as a self
evident proposition that all men are
created equal, neither its author nor
his auditors believed for a moment
that all men are created with equal
natural endowments,-su propo-
sition is SO plainly contrary to the
teaching of scripture and the facts of
history that no man would have
been silly enough to promulgate it
but when given its true interpreta-
ton, that all men are created equal
before the law and possessing equal
ly the inalienable rights of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness, we
have the true foundation of Americas
greatness, whether in men, measures
or material wealth, which are the
worlds marvels of today.
Here we have no Russian rule that
one measure of private right is for
the classes and another for the
masses; no German principle that
man was created for the benefit of
the state instead of the state for
man; no Chinese edict that while all
men are expected to create wealth,
onl y certain classes are allowed to
hold and enjoy it.
In fact, notwithstanding it's fire.
qucnt abuse in every day application
no one in America will gainsay the
proposition that every man in this
country is entitled to a fair chance,
and that in the exercise of this right
the state will be his helpmate and
not his taskmaster.
With this principle for her guidance
and an open door for the reception of
the best people of the world, who
desire to develop her natural re-
sources under her fostering care, she
has built up American citizens
through whose veins runs a COM
pound Of the best bloods ofhumanity
from every cline and corner of the
earth. With these same possibilities
from which has grown ourgreatness
of the past, she calls to the coming
generation to do in the future even
better than man dreamed of before
and so, on this Fourth of July,
whether we measure our duty as the
actual doors in the drama of life or
as the trainers of the young into
whose hands we will place the reins
of government some years hence, the
standard is just so much higher than
