THE IOWA STATE FAIR
Closing Last Week Called The Big
gest Fair On Record

The Iowa Daily Capital says, THE
The Iowa state fair for the year 1910 is
ended, and it was the biggest i'm the his
tory of the state. In fact no other state
or country ever has had, or ever can
present such fair. The state of Iowa
is the home of fat hogs and fat cattle.
1t is becoming the home of sheep. These
and all other kinds of animals were at
the fair. The people came by thous,
ands. Occasional rains did not keep
them away. There are so many build
ings, and so many miles of good walks,
that the people are no longer afraid of
rain or mud. The state fair is a grow
ing institution. The people. of Iowa are
growing more loyal to it, the people of
Des MONIES more appreciative. Secre-
tary John G. Simpson, President Cam
eron and all the officers, are deserving
of credit. Their work was character
lied by harmony and efficiency.
The books shows that there was an at
tendance this year of 231 1913 people-a
gain of Is, 663 oyer last year, while the
cash receipts amount to $151, 739, ia
gain over the receipts of last year of
$14, 339. 10.
Money making is not the primary OBJ
iect of a state fair. It's purpose is edu-
cational. When this purpose can be
carried out and all expenses paid. and
a surplus left with which to undertake
the enterprise another year, it is GER
tainly cause for hearty congratulations
Now that the state fair is so tremend-
ously successful, the thing to do is to
push it along and make it more so. We
have no doubt that the officers after
they have had brief respite, will be,
gin to think of things for next year

PRESIDENT TAFT AT ST PAUL

President Taft was given hearty
reception in st. Paul last Monday. AT
the Conservation Congress, he made a
strong address demanding those who
point out evils shall. suggest remedy,
He concluded his address as follows:
Real Conservation involves wise?
non-wasteful use in the present gener-
alton, with every possible means of pres
ervation for succeeding generations.
e. AS have said elsewhere the problem
is how to save and utilize, how to con
serve and still develop; for no same per-
son can contend that it is for the com
mon good that natures blessings should
be stored only for unborn generations.
| beg of you, therefore, in your deliber-
ations and i'm your informal discussions,
when men come forward to suggest
evils that the promotion of conservation
is to remedy, that you invite them to
point out specific evils and the specific
remedies: that you invite them TO come
down to details in order that their dis
cussions may flow into channels that
shall be useful rather than into periods,
that shall be eloquent and entertain
ing, without shedding real light on the
subject. The people should be shown
exactly what is needed in order that
they may make their representatives in
in Congress and the state legislatures do
their intelligent bidding.

CANDIDATE cUMMINs WELCOME
Says The Inter Ocean In The Follow
ing Leading Editorial

Under the leadership of Senator Cum.
minis the Iowa Republican convention
last week repudiated the Republican
president and his administration as not
measuring up to the insurgent definition
of Republicanism Now the news comes
from Iowa that this was hut prelim.
mary skirmish of u campaign whose OBJ
lect Is to make Senator Cummins the
Republican candidate for the Presi.
dency in 1912.
Cited rs confrmatory of this intent is
the canceling by Senator Cummins of
his Chautauqua engagements, and the
announcement that he will take the
stump for Beveridge in Indiana, La Fol
cite in Wisconsin and Poindexter in
washington, who are seeking Senator
ships rs avowed Insurgents.
Evidently 1t is hoped that Senator
Cummins can come up to the national
convention of 1912, having behind him
the solid delegations of Iowa, Indiana,
Wisconsin, with Minnesota and the Da-
kotas: Kansas with which might 90 Ne.
braska and Colorado: Washington and
the rest of the Pacific coast, there to
re-deiine the Republican creed and EN-
body the new gospel in Mr.. Cummins
1t is pretty plan, and welcome. We
hope Senator Cummins will not delay
the formal announcement of his pur-
pose He will be most welcome, for his
avowed candidacy in opposition not
only to any historic Republican but al.
so in personal opposition to Mr. Taft
will help greatly to clear away the con
fusion of the public mind,
BY precedent never but once departed
from in Republican party history Mr..
Taft is entitled to expect a nomination
for a second term. The movement to
deny Mr.. Taft this compliment and sub
stitute Mr.. Cummins will help greatly
to make clear TO the average man what
the issue really is. Many men are SO
constituted that they cannot easily grasp
questions of principle until the opposing
doctrines are embodied in two men seek
ing the same prize.
Therefore we say that the candidacy
of Senator Cummins is welcome. IL will
greatly help the Republican party to
find itself again and to find out what
it really believes.

THE ANNUAL FAIR
OF AUDUBON COUNTY
Is Intended To Be Of The People For
The People And By The People
OF Audubon County, Iowa.

The Marshalltown Times Republican
has the following article concerning the
county fair in Iowa, which seems good
reading now, as our fair begins Sept
ember IL. That paper says: 1t is coming
fair time in Iowa, county fair time.
After the growth of summer and at the
hither edge of autumn, when the thresh-
ing is over, the apples swollen into globes
kins and melons having attained the
last degree of corpulence, and the lull
between harvest and corn huslSing hav-
ing arrived, it is fair time in Iowa.
II is easy to leave fall blowing for n
day or two, and the hauling out of ac-
cumulated fertilizers may be delayed.
Lank with the hard work of long sea-
son, tanned, hungry for variety, the fair
attracts the man of the fields. He wants
a place to 20. The horse trot draws
like magnet, the rows of fat cattle,
and the pens of innumerable full fed
swine and the machinery exhibit have
much to hold attention and suggest
plans, and more than all the swarming
faces of neighbors and friends and ac-
quaintances rouse anticipation. Its fair
time in Iowa.
An iowa county falf Is more IMAM eA-
hibit. 1t is general function. Every
one goes, everyone meets everyone else.
Aside from the imperial state and bear
ing of the track marshal it is essentially
democratic, and whisper it low, the
marshal with his sash and badge is a
non essential mostly fuss and fine
feathers, spirited horse and borrowed
saddle blanket. Altogether the county
fair is democratic institution, entirely
of the people, by the people, and for the
people. Next to town meeting, it is
the essence of the popular.
1t is an object lesson in progress, not
only in its exhibits of farm products
and animals, but in it's exhibits of hu-
mainly. The pioneer who drove yoke
of oxen hitched to a lumber wagon, to
the early fair, would stand with open
mouth amazed and COMPOUNDED, to see
his grandson s oldest boy go popping by
in an automobile. He would seek in
vain for prairie rooster" hogs, and the
lank, long horned cattle of her time,
and would wander long ere he found
cowhide boots drawn over trouser legs
below jeans WA mus, or saw work
team i'm work harness, hitched to a dem
ocrat wagon. But then he would miss
many other things which might better
have survived.

WILL NOT BE PARDONED.

John r. Walsh, who is serving a
five-yea term in the Leavcnworth
prison for the alleged illegal manipula-
ton of the Chicago National Bank and
allied institutions, will not be granted a
pardon by President Taft. Moreover,
there is but slight chance of his SEN
tence being committed.
Interest in this conclusion to the
Walsh appeal is increased by the fact
that it will act as a precedent III the
case of Charles w. Morse, the New
York fnancier, who is serving SEN
tcnce for similar offensc in the FED
eral prison at Atlanta, Ga.
The reports made in the case Of
Walsh by Federal Judge Anderson, OF
Indiana, and District Attorney Sims, OF
Chicago, have been reviewed by
Attorney General Wickersham, who
will transmit his conclusions TO Presi-
dent Taft soon after the latter's return
from Panama. The attorney general,
it is said, has reached the conclusion
that the pardon OF Walsh by the presl-
dent is out of the question on the show
ing OF the facts.

luton yesterday unionizing the no

Migratory Laborers' Union. 1t was
also voted to admit the white rats"
along with the Actors Union OF
America.
The dues of the members OF the
Federation OF Labor were raised by the
passage OF resolution and a commit
tee was named to decide OH the amount
of the increase.
The federation declined to adopt a
resolution favoring Capitalization III ITS
officers OF the power to call genera
strikes in given places.
The strike question came up on the
report OF the special committee, which
was unfavorable to the measure, and an
extended debate followed. The dele
gates from state and central bodies sand
that often they were unable 10 make
strikes effective because Of the lack OF
authority over local unions. President
Gompers said he would not want such
authority vested in himself Is president
of the federation, neither would he
want it vested in anybody else who
might hold his position.
A resolution asking that Congress be
petitioned to enact a law for the
pensioning OF dependent workmcn
reaching the age of GO years was de-
feated.

SCHOOL CLOSED.

1t became known yesterday, through
Health Officer German, that two chill
dren, living in the northwestern section
OF the CITY, and at whose home mild
case of smallpox is under treatment,
had attended school in Lee building on
Friday last. After consulting with the
School Board officers the principal OF
the school at once dismissed the
scholars and ordered the school closed
till Friday next and in the meantime
the building is being thoroughly fuml-
gated and disiniccted. No trouble IS
anticipated, but it was thought best as
a precautionary measure TO close the
building for few days.
