Did Not Sound KneH to
County Fairs

The wave of economy that is sweep
ing over.the state did not sound the
death knell to county and district fairs
for bill introduced into the legislature
did not pass. The intent was to with
draw state aid and as few fairs are
self sustaining the ground would prob.
ably be devoted to growing wheat al
two dollars a bushel if the bill had
passed. The county fair is an institution
that is educational and should be fix
ture. Nearly a million people attend
these fairs each year and what would
life be worth without the races, merry
go-round and prize pies. Here are some
figues thatgare interesting. Eighty one
county fairs are held in Wisconsin each
year. The amount of state aid to these
fairs is nearly $133, 900. 1t is estimated
that the average attendance at each
county fair is about $4,000, making a
total of 972, 900 people in Wisconsin who
go to the shows.

Let Not the Eagle Scream

Almost any day now we may expect
when we pick up our newspaper to find
on the first page story saying that
an American ship, flying the American
flag, has been stopped on the high seas,
taken to port other than its desti-
nation, its matches opened and its hold
searched.
Let not the eagle scream Let us
not reach for the trusty flint lock nor
start the strain of Yankee Doodle. y
That would be no fighting matter.
Under the law of nations the bell1 ger
ents have perfect right to do this,
and after the neutral ship has beer
searched and it is found that it con-
tains no contraband the owner of the
ship and the owner of the cargo will be
recompensed for the damages.
The right Of search and seizure is g
good old United States doctrine We
have used it on the high seas for many
years and we have been ready to figh
to maintain it. We took full benefit
out of it in the Civil war. So when you
read in the paper that this thing ha'
been done let not the eagle scream. 1t
is no cause for war. Madison Journal.
