The Innovation by the Columbian So.
oiety In 1909.
According to a bulletin of the depart
ment of agriculture. the first full fledg-
ed agricultural fair, primarily for COM
petitive exhibits instead of for mar
keting, was held at the Columbian Ag-
ricultural society, which was organic
ed in 1909 by a number of gentlemen
interested In agriculture residing in
Maryland. Virginia and the District OF
Columbia.
Its first exhibition was held In
Georgetown, May 10, 1909, and the Ma
tional Intelligencer OF that day report
ed that it was attended by a numer-
GUS assemblage of members of the So
ciety. among whom we noticed the
president and his lady. the secretary
of state. the secretary of the treasury.
the secretary of war, the comptroller.
register, ETC., and many other ladies
and gentlemen of responsibility"
This fair was mainly devoted to do
nestle animals and manufacturers.
Semiannual fairs We're held until the
spring of 1912, when the war with
England and the expiration of the
time for which the society was organ.
lied caused its discontinuance.
The oldest existing agricultural so
ciety that holds fairs is the Berkshire
Agricultural society, Pittsfeld, Mass,
which held its first fair In the autumn
of 1910 or only one and one-half years
after the first fair Of the Columbian
Agricultural society.

An Interesting Inquiry

|&.A If number of United States senators respect
the oath they take when they are examined as to
their business connections much beneficial infor-
nation will be obtained by the public as to causes
Responsible for what opposition there now is
against the Underwood tariff bill why the tariff
was revised upward instead of downward four
years ago, and why much legislation of genuine
merit has in recent years been cast into the dis
card of the greatest deliberative body in the
world"
This most searching investigation ever under
taken into the personal affairs of the "elder
statesmen" was scheduled to begin today before
the sub committee of the senate finance COM
nittee, and it is the outgrowth of President Will
sons protest against the tariff lobby.
Questions prepared by the sub committee to
be asked each senator such as to carry the in
vestigation far outside tariff matters Before
the examination of a senator he will be placed
under oath and it is reasonable to believe that
some of the members of the Republican Demo-
cratic "old guard" would much prefer an exper-
fence with the Spanish inquisition than the
ordeal in store for them.
Picture to yourself, for instance, the mental
torture of Senator Smoot of Utah when he at
tempts satisfactory explanation of his activity
against placing sugar on the free list. Senator
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1913-06-02

Smoot is prominently identified with the Nor
mon church and that organization is deeply in
terested in the beet sugar industry. His answers
to the two following questions will prove most
interesting reading:
please state whether or not you are finan-
cially interested in the production, manufacture
sale of any article mentioned in the Tariff Bill
or any other bill now pending in Congress-, or
which has been considered in your term as sena-
tor. If so, state fully the nature and extent Of
such interest and whether you ever sought to in
fluence any other senator as to the duties upon
such articles.
please state whether you represent, or are
connected professionally or otherwise, directly or
indirectly with any person, firm, association, cor
poration or organization which is engaged in the
manufacture or production or sale of any article
named in the Tariff Bill pending in Con-
gress; if so, state whether you sought to
influence any other senator as to the duties upon
such articles"
What will be the answers to the same ques-
tons when Senator Warren of Wyoming, known
as "the greatest shepherd since Joseph" is placed
on the witness stand?
viii it be possible for him to satisfactorily ex-
plain that his opposition to free wool has been
actuated by his belief that such action would be
fraught with serious consequences to the Amer
lean people?

A Profitable Lesson

The cause of journalistic decency will be well
served if number of editors profit by the lesson
taught to Editor Newett of the Ishpeming
Iron Ore.
Newett has discovered to his discontinue
that Dame Rumor is most tickle and unreliable
and when cornered will always refute the tales
she tells
The truth of this was frankly admitted by the
Michigan editor when he swallowed his humilia-
ton and testified that it had been impossible for
him to corroborate the charge he had made that
Col Roosevelt had been known to get intoxicated.
In teaching Newett his bitter lesson, Col.
Roosevelt has conferred great benefit on all
honest, decent men in public life, who will no
longer be the target of unjust and irresponsible
criticism. He is also to be commended for his no
small part in uplifting the standard of journal
ism.

THE CHILDREN

Shut from out Gods air and sunshine,
By the grip and lust of greed,
Hear We not the children crying,
In their hour of bitter need?
Naught of life know they nor feel,
Save its grind and iron heel,
Born to catch the Tilt of song bird
Bred to note the whirring wheel
Careless, know We not, my brothers,
Smiling in your seats of power,
That a bud once dwarfed and blghted
Cannot grow to perfect flower?
Gone alas, the Nations bulwarks,
Lest ye wake with sudden leap,
Guarding we'll her veal and glory,
Trusted to their childish keep.
