edly be the greatest in the history of

old, and every fair has been better
than its predecessor Greater effort is
being put forth this year, than ever
before, and general conditions are
more favorable. The railroads of the
state are co operating to the fullest
eXent, making a one ia ir ound-trip
rate and "A half rate on exhibits.
While a great program of racing and
attractions has been arranged, il may
bestated that not a dollar Of the state
appropriation goes to the these feat
ures All of the funds appropriated by
the State are paid in premiums on live
stock, gricultural, mineral and indust-
rial exhibits by Montana people or
placed in permanent improvements
Laist year the sum of 100000 was pal
n premiums on exhibits. This money
goes back to the people as an encour-
agement t. improve their products id

influence of the fair in widening the
variety Of agricultural products in

Widespread interest is being sti-
rred up over the rumor that Pres
dent Roosevelt may conclude to
appoint William II. Lewis, of BoS-
ton, as Assistant Attorney General
of the United States to snCCeed
Arthur w. Cooley, who recently
resigned on account OF i'll health.
Mr.. Lewis has been Assistant u
IS Attorney at Boston for a number
of years, and his workhas been
very satisfactory to the Departme-
mt of Justice. He is a graduate OF
Harvard College, and is about thi-
rtv years. When at Harvard he
was one Of the greatest ball players
on the varsity TEEN, and was one
OF the strongest football plahers
likewise. If President Roosevelt
should decide to offer Mr.. Lewis
this appointment, he would give to
the Negro race the most importa-
Mt office it has ever had under any
administration. In certain contlnge-
ncies, in the absence Of the Attorn-
ev General, Mr.. Lewis woulb be-
come an acting head Of the Depar-
tment Of Justice and have full cha
ROE of the vast legal machinery OF
the egeneralgoverment. Mr.. Lewis
es legal abilities are unquestloned
and shonld the President find It eX-
Idedient to override the possible
objections that might beraised on
the score of color, this appointment
would 60 down in the history as
the crowning act of his administr-
alton. Journal Salina

people, increased eyond the supply. The theatrical
movement developed along the lines of least re-

inadequate for the situation vaudeville and musical
comedies made to supply the deficit, which
