ure or success Of the weeks events
the third annual fair OF the third east
ern Oregon district is being brought
TO a close today. Every promise OF
the fair management has been kept
everybody has been satisfied and the
feeling prevails that the largest and
best OF the three fairs is now drawing
to close.
This Is baby show day and his
royal highness, the baby, is relgning
supreme and with an autocratic
hand Proud mothers with smiling
offspring and some that do not smile
all the time, are TO be seen within the
pavilion and when the sun goes down
this evening the mothers will still be
proud, for regardless Of the decision
Of the judges they are all confident
that their babies should have won the
first prize.
Addison Bennett who has served as
Judge Of every baby show held since
the district fair was inaugurated and
who has grown gray and almost bald
headed in the service. is acting once
more this afternoon.
c. Il. Roosevelt, president Of the
fair association, is the presiding Off
Ger and Is also acting as umpire and
referee, in case there should be any
need for the services of such officers.
Today's exercises were started this
morning at 10 CLOCK with the live
stock parade This extended for ex-
actly five blocks and had the usual
extended order of marching been fol-
lowed out, II would have at least a
block longer The parade this morn
ing differed from and was better than
the last livestock parade for teh rea-
son that there were many more sim
gle and double rigs in line.
Hundreds of people lined the side
walks and enjoyed the opportunity
OF Witnessing the display of blooded
animals and the chance to note the
prize winners. A blue or red ribbon
was attached to each animal winning
premium, denoting first and second
prizes.

Lester Swaggart, mounted on al
beautiful black charger which had
won first prize for being the best

a thousand ever pause long enough to
inquire into the origin Of this Easter
festival, its shifting dates, the pagan
festivals of which it is the prototype
and successor, or any of the causes that
brought it into existence. Thousands
actually profess to believe, without
thought or investigation, that Easter
is the anniversary of the death and
bodily resurrection of Jesus, the Naza-
rene Jew. Once the light of reason can
break through the clouded intellect this
myth will take its place with those OF
centuries ago. Affording an oppor-
tunity for display, both by church and
congregation, by pulpit and pew, the
festival is destined to last for some
years to come and religion will strive
to retain it because of the attraction
it offers. Thousands of hard earned
dollars will again be spent in profuse
floral decorations, in music and song,
to celebrate something that never
happened, meanwhile, children cry
themselves to sleep in hunger and grim
want stalks athwart the threshold OF
hundreds of homes.

Great Britain and the religious cloak
has been thrown about it to give it
pretext of another and different color.
There may be some truth in the
charges that Leopold tyrannizes over
the Kongo natives The principal in
dustry of that region is the cultiva-
ton of rubber, and the immense reve-
nues derived therefrom are bestowed
upon Leopold as a ransom for his pri-
vate use The British KongO is in
much the same condition, only that the
revenues are eyed by trading COM
panies insteatShf going to British
royalty. But y 1t is the difference9
Injustice is just the same whether
committed in the name of an individ-
ual or in the name of company OF in
dividuals. The cause does not alter
the resultant fact These govern
mental tryannies led the American
colonies to revolt and the thirty mill
ions of natives in Central Africa, may,
some day, find courage enough to
throw every political yoke under
which they now exist. Certain it is
that neither Belgium's king or the
British government, either as per-
sonal matter or acting for others, can
afford to kill off the geese that lays
the golden eggs, but the murder OF a
few is expected to have most salu-
tary effect upon the others and force
submission.
So serious has the situation become
that parliament has taken cOgnizance
of it and is demanding that the terri
torial rights of Belgium in the Kongo
be transferred TO the people and taken
from the King, while the Catholic
hierarchy has come to the defense OF
Leopold and seek to show that far
greater abuses exist in other parts of
the Kongo not under Catholic rule
BE it known that Leopold is a Catho-
lie monarch and it is the privilege OF
that church to rush to his defense.
This has resulted in charges and
counterchanges, denials and counter
denials, but the orthodox religion,
profiting by either side, is at the bot
tom of the controversy and in this we
find another example Of the church
opposing human liberty.

There could not have been any
more of the real and genuine enthu-

shown by the people, friends and
members of the Alliance Sunday
when the proposition of getting a

Many people volunteered to give mu.

the necessary money to pay the hall
rent. If the hall can be secured the
Alliance no doubt will rent It for all
kinds OF amusement The paper

been improved upon. The paper had
many good thoughts that a Just com.

Lest somebody believe Denver has
had an honest business-Iike admins
tration under Mayor Speer, because
the specific instances of graft and in
competence do net come home close.
The Statesman gives the following
facts and vouches for them upon the
knowledge gained at the time of the
tranction and since verified by state
ments Of T. j. Riley chairman of the
deacon hoard of Zion Baptist church.
At the time the city was seeking a
site for the public bath house, now
located on the two lots on the corner
of Twentieth and Curtis streets, it
made an offer to Zion Baptist church
of S13,50o for three of its lots on the
corner of Twentieth and Arapahoe
streets. A counter proposition was
submitted by the church of S14,50O
for the lots. It was not accepted but
a deal was made with Gang, the brew
err, not for three lots but for two, and
the price made was St7,50o. But the
whole of the colored population is ia
mIiar with. the location of the Zion
church property and knows we'll that
if anything it was more valuable than
the other corner of the block where
the bath house was built BY what dis
torted vision, Mayor Speer saw more
value, to be specific, $1,000 more and
one lot less, in the Gang property than
in the church lots, only he can tell.
Maybe this is the source of some OF
the brewers campaign contribution
to the business" ticket. Who said
Speer won't graft?

city's history. A little before o'clock
Mrs. j. E. Travick called the meeting
to order and introduced the chairman
J. W. Jackson. The speakers of the
evening were Horace Phelps, candi-
date for mayor; c. A. Franklin, At.
torney General Dickson. John w
Springer and A. X. Vickery, candidate
for auditor. There was also singing
by Clarence c. Clark, l. H. Harper
and Prof. Hike From the minute the
Progressive band played the opening
selection to midnight, there was en-
thusiasm on tap. The flimsy claims
of Democracy for good government,
for fairness to negroes, for business
administration, received a grilling.
The meeting was notable success
and reflects credit upon the whole
club, and especially upon the commit
tee in charge, of which Thos. Camp
bell was chairman, assisted by A. S.
Newsome, H. Hinkle, j. j. Manuel, l.
H. Harper, T. ]. Riley, B. P. Johnson
1t was a splendid outpouring of the
good people Of the city and the minis
tiers of the city were conspicuous on
the platform.

With men in his administration who
are notorious enemies of good society,
with men in charge of departments
whose pleasantest task has been to
pollute the ballot and steal elections,
the claim of Mayor Speer to an hon
est business administration is riGlcu-
lous. Who believes in an adminstra.
ton that owes its very existence to its
alliance with crime? Who believes in
the business honesty of the official
who permits vice TO be protected by
the police in defiance of law? There
is a "divvy' going to somebody and
Mayor Speer knows who is guilty.
Who gets the graft?
