Current Comment
Aiding the State Fair

The White River Junction Landmark
doesn't agree with our statement that
physical obstacles make representa-.
tive state fair an impossihlity. It
comes loyalty TO the defense Of Maxwell
Evart's hobby, pointing out that at last
years state fair there were good ex-
hibits from the three counties in tht
state which have the poorest railroad
facilities with reference 70 White River
Junction It also says that the Nel
mont fair had larger exhibits Of horses
and cattle than did the New York state
fair at Syracuse. II is natural enough
that our up-river contemporary should
be enthusiastic over the state fair pro-
iect, ard The Raformer has no inten-
ton OF trying TO belittle the success
Of the White River junction show. We
do claim, however, that its scope is no
more state wide than other Vermont
agricultural exhibitions. and for that rea
son 1t has no right to expect help from
the state treasury when other fairs
are conducted solely on their merits
This il a question that Is likely to come
up for a great deal Of discussion be-
tween now and the close Of the next
legislature, and much light would be
thrown on it by detailed financial
statement from The state fair assooia-
tion. Brattleboro Reformer.

OF the master musician, the black

IF what is reported OF them be true
