SANITARY PRECAUTIONS
At Arkansas State Fair for Safety
 and Comfort of Visiting Public.

Although the Oaklawn fair grounds at Hot Springs are high and dry. and are not used during the year for any thing except the State Fair in Octo- Der, being therefore in good natural sanitary condition, yet the manage ment will have the entire grounds, including the exposition palaces and stock stables, thoroughly cleaned and disinfected just before the fair opens. Thus the visiting public will be invited into clean house. The main buildings will also be freshly painted and otherwise made attrac- tive. Exposition palace is equipped with large toilet room, equipped equal to the best hotels, with water pipes and sewer system. for the free use of the public.

Fifty years after the first guns of the civil war sounded the con- gress of the United States is com paratively in control of the Con- federates. If the battle roll of the house and senate were called to- day it would show more Confeder- ate veterans in each branch of congress than survivors of the armies of the blue.

IS CHINA LEADING US?

Heather China is setting an ex- ample which Christian United States might well follow. if it had the resolution. Realizing that opium is an evil China is stopping the traffic in it, even though it means a loss of several million dol lars year. But we find our gov ernments, national and state, to a large extent licensing the liquor evil and winking at the terrible harm it does, because there is rev. enue in it. A proposition to re- duce the number of drinking places in the District of Columbia. to 100 has just been disapproved by the authorities on the ground that it would cut off the tax income. Government reports just made show that six million gallons of whiskey were shipped last year in- to states and districts by law de- clared to be dry Uncle Sam legalizes this traffic under the in- terstate commerce provision of the constitution, notwithstanding it makes hlm a criminal in the eyes of state and local laws. But there is over a dollar revenue from every gallon of whiskey sold, and this puts an irresistible premium on this partnership in crime. Many of the best people in the country recon cile the conscience to the liquor and tobacco vices because the licensing of these vices brings in to the general government over $26o, 100000 a year, to say noth- ing of the income to state and local treasuries, thus reducing ordinary taxation to that extent. We are not cranky about temperance, but our point is, that the licensing of undoubted evils is poor business: for every dollar of revenue it brings in it means many dollars lost in the form of depreciated manhood and womanhood and human misery in general. Poor old China is re- forming; shall it be said that we are below her in moral staminas Are we to degenerate like the Romans and see our civilization eventually swept away by the con- quering and averaging hosts of some stardier race, out of the Orient. say9 History repeats it. self and in the fate of the nations of the past we can read our owr doom foretold unless we profit by their example and avoid the evils that proved their ruin.-The Path finder.

SUPPORT YOUR COUNTY FAIR
It Reflects Local Enterprise and Pub lie Pride. 1t stimulates Public
 Progress.

If your county is going to have a fair this fall, give it your actual and moral support. Be one to do some thing towards it's success. You can select something from among the best of your products to exhibit. Take it to your fair. You may win a prize, and if you do it will stimulate others to better efforts. The county fair is to the industrial nature of commit nity what a good school is to it's edu- eational nature, and big revival to it's moral nature. If you don't win a prize you will be stimulated by the success of your neighbor, and make better efforts next year. Every good county fair is worth to it's county ten times what it costs. The county fair should also be made an auxiliary of the state fair. It should be a feeder tc the State Fair as the short lines are to the trunk lines of railroad. From the county fair the best ex- hibits should be sent to the State Fair That helps to put your county and town on the map, and advertise it to the world. Who can tell the amount of money and thrifty immi- grafton good exhibit at the State Fair may bring to your section. This
 is the way to build up your section and promote the common prosperity of your people.
