GEORGE E. PHAIR'S
IDEA OF WHITE HOPE

A White Hope is a large section of
human flesh surrounded entirely by hot
air.
1t is called White because that is the
color of its liver, and it is called a
Hope because it hopes to obtain a liv.
ing without working for it.
Technically, the White Hope is a
fighter, but it generally has about as
much fighting spirit as senile clam.
The only time White Hope shows any
ferocity is when it attacks free lunch
counter. On such occasions it resem-
bles famished behemoth. 1t boards
the Bismarck herring in its den, it
smites the picSled pigs foot hip and
thigh and ravishes the Boston baked
beans on its very threshold.
The White Hope, however, is not en-.
tirely to blame. 1t is child Of circum-
stance. 1t begins life as human being
in some sequestered hamlet far from the
maddening crowd $ ignoble strife. 1t
wakes strong in the back and weak in
the mind, utterly ignorant Of the terri.
Bile fate in store for it.
Then comes the Manager, like the vii
lain in the movies, He inveigles the
foeble.minded creature from its happy
home, forces it to sign the fatal papers,
and from that time on its doom is seal.
ed, 1t is a White Hope.
The White Hope is then taken to a
newspaper office, where it is Bertillon.
ed, photographed in fifty.seven postures
and introduced to the world with the
accompaniment Of brass band. 1t
then climbs into a prize ring and, for a
stipulated share Of the gate receipts,
demonstrates that Phineas Y, Barnum
knew whereof he spoke,
Jack johnson is responsible for the
White Hope, but there is no legal meth.

The State Fair

One of the annual events in Salem is
the state Fair which meets generally
late in September and which runs for
an entire week, excepting Sunday For
moro than so years this has been looked
forward to by all tho people of the
state, as u great occasion for getting to-
gethcrj and in this respect the Oregon
state fair is different from any others,
In the early days, when this section was
cut off from the world, the state fair
was a sort Of family reunion, where all
the old settlers who had brayed the
trials and dangers Of :" the plains met
to talk over old times and renew and
cement friendships, In those days ac.
commodations were not Of the best or
most abundant, and 30 those who gath.
cred here brought their tents and camp.
ing fixtures, and all lived in the tented
city at tho fair grounds II was q
pretty custom and one that is still fol.
lowed Indeed, il Is tho one distin.
gushing feature that marks the Ore
gon state fair as different from any in
the world
Whole families como annually and
they hayo thoir own little "lot' on tho
camp grounds which they occupy each
year Hero they visit, recall old times,
have their old.fashioncd dances and
live again for q too brief wock, the days
Of 80 or 90 years ago,
II is indeed an cvcnt, and the Oregon
state fair ranks second to none in tho
beauty and variety Of It's agricultural
display.
The track is said to bc the finest in
the United States and somc records
have been made here, In this counec.
tion It Is necessary to state that the see.

known as the Sistine Madonna, ranks,
by universal consent, as the greatest

was his last Madonna, although he
painted others prior to this time. The
Madonna was the favorite theme Of
painters in the renaissance era In Italy,
starting with Fra Angelica, Fra Bar
toIommeo and others of the first paint
ers In this period and reaching its
height with the completion Of the
Sistine Madonna by Raphael.
This Madonna was painted as an altar
piece for the church Of San Sisto ut
Piacenza. In 1854 1t was purchased by
the elector Augustus Ill. from the
Benedictine monastery and is now the
property Of the Royal gallery at Dres
den.
Raphael, the artist, died Of fever at
Rome when but thirty-seven years old
He was the son Of an artist and studied
at one time under Perugino In 1904
Raphael went to live In Florence, where
most Of his MadOnnas were painted
His fame rapidly spread until he was
called to Rome TO decorate the Vatican
Toward the end Of his life about the
time the Sistine Madonna was com
pleted, the artist developed his own
style and did his greatest work Aside
from his ability to paint, Raphael was
talented architect.
