THE FAIR

character, quantity and variety of
exhibits. Great in the cleanliness
and WholesOmeness of it's amuse-
ments. great in the character. the
numbers, the temperament of it's
visitors.
The most inspiring scene, the
scene that spoke of incalculable
good for the future of this country
was two thousand, bright, happy
young people marching in the pa
rade OF progress, each and all under
the direction of men and women
who are training them that thew
may take their place in the affairs
OF this country, preparing them to
work, teaching them that honest
labor OF brain and Drawn is honor
that idlenes is disgrace. How rich
is jackson county in boys and girls!
The school exhibits were extern
Slve and of high order, that of
Webster, Sylvia and Dillsboro schools
attracting particular attention and,
receiving much favorable comment
from both the spectators and the
Judges.
The department of Ladies' Work
was crowded to it's capacity with
an unprecedented array of articl S
OF needle craft. and the culinary art
of high order.
AS the crops of the county have
been unusually good this season.
the department of Farm Products
and Horticulture was full-full of
almost every conceivable variety of
products of t le soil that are habi-
tant of this climate and apples
apples of every kind, apples that
we would be willing to place against
the world at any exposition. Be-
lleve me. when it comes to the ap-
pie industry, Jackson county is
there, is strictly in it with Oregon,
Wa:h ngton, the Wanatchee Valley
or anywhere else.
AS each year passes, at each an
nual air there is a noticeable inn
provement in the entries under the
department of mules and horses.
The lovers of horsefesh in Jackson
county are gradually taking the
lead in producing fine horses and
mules.
The entries in the cattle depart
ment were very numerous. There
we're some of the finest cattle in
the State on exhibit.
OF particular interest and of par
ticularly meritorious character were
the entries in Department E, Swine.
Hog raising is becoming a popular
and lucrative occupation in Jack
son county as was shown by the
swine on exhibit at the Fair.
Other exhibits worthy of special
mention were those of the Beta
Fertilizer Co., the Sylvia Lumber
and Manufacturing Co. Gncluding
a miniature silo made by F. N. Nc
Lean) The C. j. Harris Tannery, M.
Buchanan & Son and B. H. Cathey
4 Co., the two hardware dealers OF
sylvia, The Stein Marble Works,
Geo. D, Sheriff. Photographer, The
Champion Fibre Co. and the Lewis
l. Alexander Co.
The State Department of Agri-
culture and A. and M. College fur
nlshed the judges for the live stock,
Mr.. Curtis and Mr., Hargett. These
gentlemen are well known through
out the state as men who know
know what is what in live stock
and their dicision met with the ap-
proVal of the crowd.

WAR news CONDENSER

European Conflict has ragged. The
most gigantic battle in history. the
battle of the Aisne has been in
progress for twentyseven days and
there is no solution in sight.
Rumors have come from time to
time that one side or the other had
gained an advantage, that the al
lies were pushing back the German
right wing, that Van Kluck was
outflanking the allies; but still so
far as the world knows, as the press
can ascertain, the situation is pract
ically the same that it was TWENTY
seven days ago when the two arm
mics lined up along the banks of
the Aisne for the struggle of supre-
mcy, of existance even.
The great Ibattle in the western
arean of war may be described as a
gigantic shipping" engagement in
which riflemen have been replaced
by heavy artillery, masked along
the heights of the Aisne and the
Meuse. These desultory artillery
duels seem to have succeeded the
desperate infantry charges during
the eally stages of the battle.
Those recently at the front de-
clare the allies were we'll content to
play this game; they now out num-
Der the Germans. and for that rea-
son can give their troops rest W hile
the invaders must keep their men
constantly in the trenches.
An important development of
the fighting in France is the report
ed movement of a German arm v.
said to be 20, 900 strong. southwark
through Belgium by way of Temple
Neuve and Tournia, in direction of
French border. Berlin military cri-
tics predicted recently that the al
lies would meet disast er if thew
stretcted their line on the left
wing too far, and it is believed here
that the Germans are now seeking
to crush the enveloping movemet
which has been closing around Gen.
eral Won Kluck, the commander of
the German right, for the past three
weeks. The latest Paris commune
cation ignores this movement. 1t
says the situation in that locality
remains the same but admits the
fighting along the left wing, north
of the Disc, is becoming more and
more violent. Calm prevails in
the center, with the allies gaining.
a little ground in the northern part
of the heights of the Meuse.
Following England's lead in the
North sea, where she felt compel
ed to initiate the German procedure
of mine laying, France has announ
ced a similar course in the Adriatic
where several trading ships have
been blown up recently by mines
The mighty Russian Army is
still pushing it's way through East
Prussia and Poland toward Berlin
Herein has been the hopes of the
allies. England and France have
looked for the coming of the Co.'S
sack. The Russian leaders have
sworn to their men that they shall
eat their Christmas dinner in Ber-
lin, but the progress of the armies
of the Car, toward their Goal, Ber-
lin, has been slow and tortuous,
each which has been contested,
every foot of advance has been
paid for in blood, really in view of
conflicting reports from the East,
no one can tell, no one, outside the
nner circles. knows what has trans
pired during these months that the

COMPREHENSIVE DECISION.

Two important features OF the unan.
imous decision Of the United States
Circuit Court against the pleadinss O,
the Manufacturers Light and Hea,
Company In its contentious with the
Public Service Commission were ,he
setting al rest of all doubts of the val
idity OF the act OF the Legislature In
creating the commission. and the "a.
oneration Of Governor Hatfield from
the insinuating charges Of the corpor.
alton. The court In reviewing the case
Is particular to point out that the gas
company mad no competent complaint
IN alleging that Governor Hatfield
used ceorcive measures to bring abou,
hasty and ill-considered action on the
part OF the commission.
II was quite plain at the time that
the counsel for the corporation used
these charges as subterfuge 10
cover their own confusion when the
true conditions of this corporation's
anairs were uncovered. II was meant
to divert the court and the public
from consideration of the true issues
OF the proceedings Further the court
declares that the gas company was
given every opportunity to present
its case in full and that no hindrance
was opposed by the commission or the
governor.
The established constitutionality OF
the act creating the commission is a
comforting assurance. at it preserves
to us in all its integrity and functions

institutions created by any legislature.

WHERE FREE TRADE STRIKES

According 20 President Wilson. the
phiisnthropie motive back OF the In
dervood tariff ball was TO furnish a
medium TO sharpen the Wits Of the
manufacturers OF this country. The
Administration has been FUN Of jocu-
lar phrases and merry quips OF this
character. notable among them being
the psychological depression and
the mental morbidness Of the busi.
ness world. These chronological d.
versions. however. have been succeed.
ed by practical demonstration OF the
destructive effects OF that free trade
measure. and In no branch OF manu-.
faoture have the prostratlng results
been made more manifest than in the
wooden industry.
The textile schedules OF the Under.
wood bill did not 70 into eject until
the first OF January. when the rates
on wool became effective. the remain.
der being operative since October last.
The Textile World Record. being Of
an inquiring turn Of mind. has sum
med up the effects for the hrst four
months OF the complete operation OF
the schedules. and finds that the
WOODEN is the chief sufferer from the
Increase In foreign competition. this
being due TO the wooden duties hav-
ing been suddenly lowered from n
much higher level than were the rates
on other class OF textiles.
The impressive fact Is that ss3.si3..
600 worth OF textile goods came into
the United States during the period
scanned. as compared with s64. 7SO. 900
In the corresponding period OF 1913.
an Increase OF s1s.O33. 900 for the four
months. or an increase AZ the rate OF
sS1.09s.O0O per year. This indicated
annual increase OF textile imports is
divided among the different classes of
goods as follows: Wool. s32. 226 900
cotton. Sl2.62l. 900: silk. 5000. 900;
fiber. s2.le7. 900: artificial silk. si.IOI..
900. What are the far-reaching con-
sequences OF this invasion OF me
nome market by the foreign competi.
tors? The Record finds that the cen
sus OF 1910 shows 1889 wage earn.
ers employed in textile manufactur-
ing. producing sl.225. 6s6.4i4 worth OF
goods per year. and receiving $3.50.
5l4.233 in wages. At that rate of pro.
uction and earnings the annual 4,
crease Of $4,000. 600 in the imports OF
textiles under Underwood law is de.
priving 3i.727 textile operatives OF
employment who would otherwise be
receiving sil.7l6.542 in wages in
American mills. The existing depres.
sion in the textile industry makes this
conclusion unavoidable. II the ma.
