The managing editor is Hon. John w.

are named Hon. L. E. Thomas and Hon.
John D.. Wilkinson of Caddo. The pur-
pose of the League is to relieve the State
of the clutches of the politicians and
bosses by which it is dominated. The
Commoner is in the field as the official
organ of the Leaguers. However. the
newspapers in the State which have
never ceased to proclaim and contest
for the principles enacted by the League
will be found in the heat of the political
fray and in the front rank when the bu-
gle sounds for the charge all along the
line. The Commoner can do great good
and will be helpful in the determination
of the people to secure good govern
ment. The Commoner is wished the
fullest success.

$3.50 By m. +. u. $3.50

At the close of our fifth State Fair
Successful and instructive in all depart
ments. it may be of interest to some to
| know that E1kanah Watson, merchant
of Albany, N. Y, was the real author OF
the present system of fairs and cattle
,, shows, sustained and directed by agrl-
cultural societies. After Mr.. Watson re-
| tired from active business and removed
to his farm near Pittsheld, Mass, he
conceived the idea of interesting the
| farmers of his county in holding an
exhibition of improved breeds of cattle
and superior products of the sail, for
the purpose of showing what might be
accomplished by proper cultivation and
to reward exhibitors for the care and
| labor bestowed on their specimens prizes
were to be awarded for the best. The
first fair was a success, and for the pur-
pose of charging the next he appealed
to the citizens of Boston for pecuniary
aid, but failed to get a single favorable
response.
Even ex-President John Adams, in
his reply made it plain that the leading
men of that day did not appreciate the
Importance this new step for encourag-
ing the useful arts This was expressed
in a single sentence: "You will get no
aid from Boston; commerce, literature,
theology, medicine, the university and
universal politics are against you
Watson was not thwarted by this re-
buff he redoubled his exertions at home
and for several years annual fairs were
held. In 1875 he returned to Albany and
Immediately proceeded to organize an
agricultural society and to establish fairs
and cattle shows in the neighboring
counties. In 1870 the Legislature of
New York State passed an act appro-
priating $4,000 annually for six years
for the promotion of agricultural and
family manufactures, which was divided
among the agricultural societies of the
several counties in proportion to their
population, provided a like sum was
raised in each by voluntary subscription.
To E1kanah Watson, a forgotten bene-
factor, we owe this plan of organizing
state and county agricultural societies,
with power to hold fairs, now adopted in
nearly all the States of the Union.
Among fairs of Importance in our
own country are beside the agricultural
fairs, those of the American Institute
of New York city, the Franklin Insti-
tute of Philadelphia, and the industrial
exhibitions of most of our large cities
The greatest fairs in the world are the
Easter and Michae1mas fairs at Leipsic.
Then comes the fair at Nijni-Novgorod,
which is frequented by buyers and sell
ers from all over Europe and central
Asia. An old fair in the North of Scot
land in June when the nights are very
short, began at sunset and ended an
hour after sunrise. It was called sleepy

Through the courtesy of Mr.. J. B.
Blatterman, sales agent of the National
Cash Register Company, the proceeds
for one day of their beautiful exhibit at
the Fair was given to the Daughters of
the Confederacy for the benefit of their
Confederate monument fund The views
exhibited illustrated the comfort, con-
veniences and civic beauty of the homes
provided by this big, popular concern
for their employees at Dayton, Ohio. The
National people believe that comforts
and conveniences contribute to happiness
and that thrifty we'll paid workers make
a business successful. And they practice
what they preach. In addition to the pic
lures of pretty homes were exquisite
pictures of flowers in colors, so natural
that they seemed plucked fresh from the
garden and fastened to the canvas Mrs
Peter Youree, president of the chapter,
desires to express the deep appreciation
of the members of her chapter for the
unusual and great favor extended them
by Mr. Blatterman. Over $Ioo by this
means will be added to the Confederate
monument fund.
