THE BEST EVER

Didn't we have a great Fair?'
We certainly did. We had the big
gest and best Fair we ever had. &" The
above comment can be heard on all
sides since the Fair closed. So uni
versal and general is this or similar
comments that one whv did not know
better, would conclude that everybody
old and young, big and little, rich and
poor, had been engaged in the Fair,
and had done all they, could ossibly,
to make the Fair a success. Some Of
US know better. The Fair won it's
success by the efforts of very few
people. The very people who should
have contributed most to the Fair did
not turn their hands over to helm. not
even attending single day, nor any
part of day. 1t sounds little
amusing to hear these people saw.
didn't we have fine Fair?" All
honor and praise to those who bent
their energies, without money o,
price, to make the occasion pleasan,
and profitable. These deserve the
highest praise, and are due the thanks
OF the entire county. But if only all
the people. or even a majority of
them. could be induced to take hold,
the Fair would be something to be
proud Of. 1t seems to be an impossi.

THE CURSE OF CURSES

What is the greatest curse Of this
state and country? Answers will diff
er according to the point of view
Some say liquor; some say the trusts
others, the social evil; others. still,
the chilu labor iniquities. One discer-
ming man says politics is the greatest
evil in the world. The great World 8
Sunday School Convention in Wash
ington last year declared by resolu-
tion that corrupt political conditions
prevailing in this and other countries,
was its greatest hindrance in its eff
orts to evangelize the nations. Great
social and commercial evils and i'm
moralities exist, by virtue of which
the rulers hold office, from the highest
to the lowest, and remedial legisla-
ton becomes a difficult if rot imposs-
ible accomplishment. For this reason
corruption IN local and governmental
politics, where such exists, is the
curse of curses. Corruption and poi
son at the fountain head, means cor
ruption all the way down stream
Happily, things are on the upgrade.
The days of the corrupt, immoral pol
itician, seem numbered. From all
sections, even the remote country dis
tricts. is heard the demand that the
candidates for public office must be
good men and true. Corrupt politics
and politicians have had their day.
The Curse of Curses will be win

MR.. TAFT AND CIVIL SERVICE

Mr.. Taft is reported as saying in a
speech recently delivered, that he
will ask Congress at the next session
to join him in the passage of law
taking the entire Civil Service out of
politics. This civil service list EN-
braces now about $40, 1000 positions,
not including a number of Fourth
class postmasters and common labor
ers, and carries about three million
dollars in salaries, and has been from
the start, a political organization and
used for political purposes. In 1888.
we believe it was, bill was passed
taking the civil ser, ice out of politics
or claiming so t2 do, but the law has
been dead letter. These 400. 900
employees of the Government, and more
are used every four years to elect and
defeat Presidents, and to control the
government. To take this vast army
out of politics will be an Herculean
task, and Mr.. Taft wisely says that he
fears Congress will not support him
in his attempt to make the change.
OF one thing we feel sure, viz. Mr..
Taft will not have the support of Mr..
\ Slemp in this. Think of wba. would
become of the Republican party in
the Ninth but for the office holding
crowd of postmasters, Revenue off
GERS, ct cetera. The passage of such a
bill would cost many Congressman
his seat, and perhaps reduce the Pres
ident's chances, also, of denomination.
1t will be no surprise, therefore, if
the President has "cold feet" when
the time comes to offer the bill.
