THE CRIMINALS FAMILY.

When society exacts the laws pen

how often is thought given to the nee

Iowa in suspending sentence against
the aviator. Lindsay, convicted Of a
serious crime, until he can make some
provision for those dependent upon

connection with the agitation of PEN

The Evening Telegram has the fol-
lowing editorial in support of county

Value of them under the new
County Fairs. law:
There appears to be
a disposition among county authori-
ties to afford more liberal support
and encouragement to county fairs. It
can be said off-handed that county
commissioners cannot go too far in
this direction.
The county fair is the annual clear
Eg-house of progress for the county
community. 1t is the farmers rally
ing time and occasion, and to other
folk as we'll as the farmer, it is an
! event of recreation and entertain
,ment as we'll as ot progressive busi-
hess. The more county fairs ana the
better county fairs we have. the
easier it will be to keep the boy and
girl on the farm, and the more the
attraction of agricultural life will be
imade manifest 10 those who are not
of the farm, but ought to be.
Greater good will come from a well
sustained institution of this kind in
every county Of Oregon, than from
the best state fair that was ever held
But it should be borne in mind that
county fairs are an aid, and not a
detriment to the state fair The coun-
ty fair is a powerful stimulant to in
terest in agriculture in the commun-
itN in which it is held, and the more
county fairs the more widespread is
their stimulating influence-the great

chief agricultural show of the state.
Money spent in support of thes,

In recent editorial this paper eX-

Tariff Revision business slump or
And Business. panic will follow the
passage of the tariff
bill now under consideration. This
because the legislation contemplated
will be beneficial to the great mass
of people and hard times do not result
from such laws.
In his financial review for May "a
Henry Clews, New York financial
critic who is always conservative and
frequently pessimistic dwells on this
topic and says;
The slowing down of business
thus far, while general, has been of
moderate proportions. 1t is unques-
tionably partly due to uncertainties
connected with the tariff and when
this question is settled there will be
a considerable gap in the merchan-
disc movement remaining to be filled
AS a matter of fact the industries
likely to be injured by the tariff are
not important compared with the to-
tai product of the country; and the
effect of tariff legislation has un-
doubtedly been overestimated."
If this view is correct there will be
a business revival rather than bust
ness depression following the passage
of the new tariff bill, provided other
conditions do not arise to disturb the
situation. If business is good and the
demand for supplies is normal even
those who. like the woolgrowers, have
been directly hit by the new tariff
will feel the blow but slightly. The
story of the price of wool for this
and past seasons shows this conclus-
lively.
This is not political talk, it is bust
ness talk and is intended to set forth
the facts of the situation as they ap-
pear to this paper. Meanwhile it is
encouraging to note that the same
view is shared by others.
