STATE FAIR
 IS CERTAIN Chairman Kohn Says Doubts Are at Rest. MERCHANTS WERE LIBERAL The City Was Only Partially
 Canvassed. Busiaess Men Showed . Patriotic In- terest in the Fair and it win Be
 Made An Unaualiaed
MERCHANTS WERE LIBERAL

A few hours work yesterday by only q portion of the subcommittee appointed to solicit funds for the fair settled the fact that Montgomery will not only have a fair this fall but the best and most successful one she has ever had.
 This was the confident conclusion that Chairman Frank Kohn, of the so- liciting committee, reached after checking up the results of yesterdays canvass and 1t was fully shared by others who went over the situation with him. EE
 For one reason and another some of the subcommittee could not got to work yesterday but those who did go out met encouragement wherever they went and in several cases where they expected failure.
 The total amount subscribed during the day was not given out but the canvassers stated that the merchants in many instances were exceedingly liberal in their subscriptions. It Is believed by those who are active in promoting the fair that the attendance this fall will far exceed that of any previous year and this view of the matter is shared by the merchants. This belief Is founded on good and sufficient reasons and not on mere hopes and expectations.
 The conditions over the State are favorable to large attendance and those charged with the management of the enterprise propose to take ad- vantage of this situation and offer such inducements and attractions as will bring the people here and interest and entertain them when they come. It Is known that there will be . com parative deaFth of attractions and amusements in the smaller cities and towns of the State this fall and to supply the deficiency Montgomery will put on the greatest fair and amuse- ment program in local history.
 The racing feature will be more in- teresting and better than at any pre- vious fair and as an evidence of this fact it is announced that the small est purse offered this year will be equal to the largest one last year.
 The other amusements and attrac- tions will be equally enlarged and in- proved. This suceinctly sums up the situation and 1t is one that is entirely satisfactory to the merchants and bus mess men of Montgomery and one that they are willing to back with their money. t.5,fl
 The contracts with the attractions that are available must be signed by June 1 and for this reason 1t is ne- cessary to raise the balance of the guarantee fund without delay. All the committees will so out today and ex- pect to about close the matter up.

COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL As-
 ISOLATION HOLDS MEETING.
Plan Proposed To Save Organizatioa From Going to the Wall. News of the Central
 City.

Selma, May 20.-(Special) IA lengthy and important meeting of the Commercial and Industrial Association was held tonight at which many ques- tions of vital importance to the city were discussed.
 While the attendance was small considerable interest was taken in the topics which came up for, discussion.
 President UlIman in his report stat ed that the existence of the freight bureau would come to an end July l and that unless some plan was pro- vided for increasing the membership and dues of the Commercial and In- dustrial Association to make itself sus- taining that 1t would have to fall through. His plan was to increase the membership of the association and to increase the dues to $2 month.
 A committee of five consisting of Albert Meyer, E. c. Melvin, W. c. Ward, W. W. ouarles and E. F. Ull- man was appointed to take up this work.
 Secretary Slater reported many things of interest among them that soon the city would be paid visit by c. W. Thatcher, who Is trying to get the government to build a national boulevard from Detroit to New Or leans.
 Mayor Atkins reported that he had a plan which had met with approval of the Southern Tariff Association whereby the insurers in the business section would save a dollar on every thousand and asked of the association in putting the plan through. To get this reduction 1t would be necessary or the city to put in water mains two inches larger in the business portion and many additional fire plugs.
 A committee of five will be appoint ed tomorrow to take up this matter with the insurers of the city.
 There followed considerable discus sion upon the project of adequately draining the northern part of the city and finally the meeting adjourned.

PUT BEST FOOT FORWARD.

There isn't man living in Walla
county is not the best in the state.
The annual output of the farms and
orchards and gardens of this county
proves that it is the garden spot of
the northwest
If this is true, it is a little difficult
to understand why there should be
any hesitancy in making provisions
for an adequate exhibit of the resour-
ces of this county at the Alaska Yu-
kon- Pacific exposition.
Everybody knows that practically
every county in the state is going to
take advantage of the law passed by
the last legislature which authorizes
the county commissioners to make a
for the purpose of providing a dis
play at the big fair, and everybody
knows that it would be a crying shame
for Walla Walla county to represented
at this great exhibition by little
$4,000 display-such a display as would
probably be surpassed by Asotin coun-
ty or San Juan county.
This isn't a question of throwing
money away. Every cent spent in pro-
viding an Adequate display will come
back a thousand fold. The great west
is progressing and the community that
does not keep step with this progress
is bound to be left behind
Thousands and thousands of eastern
Walla Walla county, will wander
through the great agricultural palace
in Seattle next summer, and they will
judge the various sections of the state
by the exhibits made at that fair.
Shall they go home with the idea
that, while Yakima caunty and Spokane
county and King county and Pierce
county are great counties, Walla Wal
la county is a back number?
1t is up to the people of this county
TO say what the verdict of these visi-
tors will be.
II you want favorable verdict, you
should take the trouble to inform the
board Of county commissioners of this
fact and to impress upon them the
nc~Gssit% OF mdE'J., ar appropriation
f.r this display at ;he earliest possible
date.

GUARANTEED DEPOSITS AGAIN

1t will be interesting to read what
Candidate Taft will have to say on the
great and growing question of guar
anteed bank deposits.
Will he favor it, or will he ignore 1t,
as bis party did in the Chicago con-
ventior. or will he oppose it and tell
his reasons?
It is not generally believed that the
republican candidate can ignore this
matter. The people are insistent upon
a greater degree of security and they
are making their clamor heard
They insist that all banks shall be
made equally good.
They insist that the government
shall protect all widows and all Or
phans from loss of their deposits.
They insist that the government
shalt protect business men from the
danger of having payment on their
checks suspended.
They insist that the ovgernmen,
shall rrotect all communities from tn -,
embarrassment that follows a bank
failure
They insist that the governmen,
shall protect banks from runs and
wi'frl. awals based upon timidity and
fear
They insist that the government
shall make banks so secure that the
people will deposit all their money in
the banks instead of putting some of
it away under carpets and in old
shoes.
Ic is generally believed that the
amount of money that will be drawn
from boarding and hiding by the guar
antee of bank deposits will give the
country a larger circulation than can
be secured through frantic calls upon
the government for its surplus funds
When the banks were in distress
they did not hesitate to call upon the
government for the use of the peoples
money and that money was loaned to
them without interest to the extent of
nearly two hundred and fifty million
dollars. This money was raised by
taxation upon all the people and while
the peoples money was being loaned
to the banks to tide them over a strin-
gency, the people themselves were
afraid to deposit their money in the
banks and many of them were with
drawing their money from the banks.
If legislation is to have for its OBJ
Ject the welfare of the whole people,
then the guaranteed bank ought to

A STROKE OF WISDOM.

While this paper is republican in pol
itics generally, says the Garfield Coun-
ty Standard, it must admit that the
plank in the democratic platform eX-
GLIDING non-Caucasian immigrants is
a stroke of wisdom seldom shown by
that party. 1t is the most dangerous
plank in the platform to republican
success on this western coast.
1t is a well known fact that from
San Diego on the south to Sitka on
the north there have been riot and
agitation by all laborers in every in
dustry and shop over the coming OF
Asiatics and other dark races.
1t stands the republicans in hand
to mark with the greatest wisdom
every move they make or Bryan will
carry the Pacific coast states. Every
republican feels keenly how hazard
Gus this would be to the success 81

For Private Ambition.

Whatever possible advantage may
reside in being first on the ballot"
has probably disappeared through
the publicity given the matter and
the frantic efforts of certain indi-
viduals to gain the position
Take the case Of Mr.. Nichols. 1t
will probably arouse resentment, his
action in locking the doors so that
he might file first and provide an
opportunity for his friend Schively
to file second. There is too much
jugglery about that sort of thing
to advance the cause of either of the
two gentlemen. # they will resor,
to that kind of trick merely to get
their candidacy under way, what
wouldn't they do if elected? Is that
the type of man the people are go
ing to want to serve them in public
capacity?
Here was a chance to be eminent
ly fair Mr.. Nichols, for instance
has but one opponent for the secre-
taryship. 1t isn't much of job
anyway. Just Why any one should
want it so badly as to adopt peculiar
tactics in order to get it, is beyond
the understanding Of the ordinary
citizen who is compelled to work for
living. The post is hardly worth
such vigorous and questionable
measures.
Not a candidate in that waiting
line before his door but had as great
a right to file his declaration of can
didacy first, as did Mr. Nichols. He
is the servant of the public and SO
far as his administration is concern
ed, it should be waged for the equal
privilege of all the public, candi-
dates inclusive. In this case, how
ever, an instance has been presented
of administering an office for the
welfare of a private ambition of in
terest only to the individual in
volved.
1t is just probable now that the
voters will be able to overlook the
name of Nichols at the head Of the
ticket as easily as If it were
at the foot If this is what the pr1-
mary law is to produce let's go back
to the midnight trades of the old con-
vention STANDARDIZATION World.
