st. Paul, ~. >-For some reason
The attendance at the state fair, while
large. has, except for the hrst day.
beea Disappointing. Perhaps the
weather vas too hot. perhaps the farm.
srs were too busy. or perhaps fair
boosters did not know how to do their
work effectively. At all events tho
fact remains, and 1t has given rise to
the suggestion that the entrance fee
should be reduced. It Is believed the
Attendance would be largely increased
II the rate OF admission were cut in
two. II such would be the result the
thing certainly ought to be done. The
purpose of the fair is expositional and
educational and not to make money.
The success Of the fair should there
fore be judged rather by the number
Of people who see 1t than by the gate
receipts. The experiment of giving
people q chance to see it for Is cents
ought to be tried.

Roosevelt has come and gone. lt Is
not apparent that new converts have
been made to the Progressive party.
although there was enthusiasm enough
for Roosevelt himself. While the
leader of the Bull Moose was here it
was noticed that Governor Eberhart
took some pains to be where the light
would shine on him. While he kept
near Roosevelt, however. it is not inti-
mated that his loyalty to Taft has
been shaken. The governor claims to
be some progressive himself, but he
has never allowed that to interfere in
the practical politics he pursues At
all events he has not yet been heard
to repeat the coloners favorite slogan,
"Down with the bosses!"

Besides the governor Mr.. Young ap-
pears to have been the only candidate
for the executive ofhce who met Mr..
Roosevelt or spent much time with
him. Mr.. Young was q guest at the
dinner at the West hotel and they had
some tall. probably, however. Of no
great political importance, for Mr..
Young, while a believer in progressive
thinks they are Republican
principles TOO and sees no reason for
going outside the party In order to
make them elective. There are = great
many people Of Mr.. YounS's opinion.
