THE STATE FAIR.

AS the Caucasian has said repeatedly,
the value of the State Fair is immeas-
urable. Its importance is indicated by
the unreserved comments of the press
on the reported intent of its abandon
ment by its directors. There are ready
and anxious~to relieve Shreveport of the
Fair the cities of New Orleans, Mon
roe, Alexandria and Baton Rouge. No
sooner had the report of the abandon
ment of the Fair at Shreveport reached
the cities named than there was organ
lied the medium for securing it. For
tunately the directors, after having SUBJ
mitted the situation of the Fair can
didly, appealed to the taxpayers for sup
port. This appeal has not been in vain,
but it should have awakened greater en-
thusiasm than it has, especially from the
class who as a rule are the greatest ben
eficiaries from the upbuilding of the
town. As a fact this class apparently
have little appreciation of the import
ance of the Fair; at least they fail to
indicate it by responding, as others, to
the necessity of giving hearty encour-
agement to an enterprise which other
cities and towns would delight to have.

A large force of officers is stationed

Some women go armed and others
carry police whistles. A majority of
men have armed themselves and posi-
