THE FAIR AGAIN.

II rurnor Is correct there are some
hearthurnings over the award of prizes
in at least two departments of the State
Fair This Is to be expected, because
game losers are rare, even in Utah. 1t
is, of course, to be regretted because
the Fair which closed in a blaze OF
glory Saturday night was essentially
the best to date and the promise was
held out that it would be eclpscd next
year.
1t was clearly demonstrated last week
that the State Fair has assumed pro-
portions commensurate with the size
and dignity of the rapidly developing
State of Utah. The buildings were in
adequate to take care of all the cx-
congested.
The Utah State Fair association has Il
splendid site for its annual exposition
and lots of elbow room in which to
extend New buildings, however, are
imperative There should be an educa-
tional hall, additional space for the
manufacturers. and the live stock could
be eXnlDlted 10 more du'dhthSc uiluSt
different conditions.
The only modern show shed IS that
given over to the sheep department.
When it comes to horses. unless the
flower of good horsstlesh is on the
ground when the animals are being pa
raded, he sees nothing OF their points.
The head or haunch Of noble animal
may furnish some idea of it's proper,
lions generally, but in number OF
instances this year the doors OF the
stalls containing the thoroughbrea
horses were kept closed like the animal
cages in a circus parade. To thorough
ly satisfy the patrons of the Fair mod
ern stalls with an alley down the cen
ter along which the sightseers can
walk and take In the show at their
leisure would be appreciated. With
standard barns for all departments ths
general public coud view the excellent
live stock exhibits in comfort and safe
ty. Under present arrangements the
Fair is too congested and its board or
directors should see that the new build

there will be plenty of space for future
generations to turn round in on crowd

TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE.
Chicago News.

The PREDOMINANT idea of the builders
of the American republic was to devise
a government that could not Cypress
the pcople They succeeded. However,
they have a government so hemmed IN
with restrictions and tied down with
checks and balances and constitutional
safeguards that in many instances 1t is
not able TO afford the people protection
from Individual and corporate activities
directed against them. The difhculty
of col1victing persons guilty or crime
is notorious. Under the spell of tradl-
ton our Judges have resolved every
doubt. technical as well as equitaple.

the popular manifestation Of the con-

BAR OF PUBLIC OPINION.


That has definite meaning these
days. The laws of evidence are. not
expected to apply us rigidly as IN
court. Testimony growing on a partic-
ular point is not demanded, Suspicion
is, to a certain extent, evidence Asso-
citation is taken into account. cross
examination is not expected. And now
is it that this is so? Mainly upon this
idea. that when there has been NAL
feasance of any sort, in any public
place. the people naturally regard the
person nearest to it as the guilty one
Thav may be wrong but they are dis
trustful, and this distrust works itself
into a sort OF penalty that antagonizes
the officer. The verdict OF generali-
zation and not a specification. We have
hnd a good deal nf this sort of con-
viction lately. The bar of public opin-
ion has been crowded with cases, and
it Is pretty harsh practice that goes
on there. There is somewhat that IS
cruel in suspicion, and it Is SLOW IN
relenting.

of good wives and mothers among US

men would admit that women are Only

oVERTON MEASURE
FOR ITS ADOPTION
 NEXT NOVEMBER.
senator Reynolds, of Bibb County, and Representative Tyler GOOdwyn, of This City, Are to Manage
 T1amtrfcta.

The enthusiasm that they intend to stir up over the proposed good roads amendment to the Constitution will not down. They will fight for it's adoption next November until the last gong sounds That Is the way things look az this angle.
 state Senator John W. 0verton, of Wedowee, was in the city yesterday ana as he is chairman of the State Cam paign Committee he has had an oppor- tunity to gauge public opinion some what even at tkis distant date from the November election. He commits himself on the belief that the amend ment will be voted for by majority of the people of Alabama.
 Campaign Manager Oyerton is busily engaged in the organization of the state for the amendment which by now mas become known as the Overton amend ment. He has announced the appoint met of two. of the Congressional DIS trict Campaign Managers. They ara Hon. Tyler Goodwin, of the Second DIS trict. and State Senator H. E. Reynoids, of Centreville, prominent figure m the Legislation of last year in Alabama.
 These two members of the last Legis- lature are to be responsible for the good roads agitation in their respective districts They are both recognized as competent leaders and Senator Overton expressed himself as being eTninently satisfied with these appointments. Senator Reynolds is a wealthy mer- chant of Bibb County and was promi- nently identified with educational legislation last year.
 State Campaign Manager overton was rather indignant at the charge in some quarters that he has political purpose in his support of the amend ment When seen yesterday Senator Overton said to a representative of The Advertiser: Anyone is misled and badly mistaken if he states that am behind this movement for any personal gain or political advancement. Such has never been my purpose. I believe that the adoption of the Overton amendment is a good thing for the people of Alabama and we propose to do all we can to see that 1t is adopted" {"
 Senator overton also contradicted the assertion that the amendment means a threat at the appropriations for educa- tion. He emphasized that no money for good roads can be released from the State Treasury even If the amendment passes, until the Legislature meets again and regularly appropriates any conservative amount from the net proceeds of the Convict Department It simply means. according to the author of the proposed amendment. that instead of a disorganized and irregular way of spending money for good roads 1t will be put on scientific basis.
