.FA|RIMONT FAIR
WILL BE GREAT
Annual Exposition in That City
Will Be a Real Hummer
This Year.

The fair season being close at hand,
| bills announcing the annual event ut
Fairmont are beginning to make their
appearances and newspapers are car
rying, the streamers telling the dates
which are August "a. Is, &c and 2T.
Although Parkersburg precedes Fair
mont week, the Marion county ex-
hibit will practically be the first for
the people of this section who are
very loyal to the annual exposition at
Fairmont.
According to the announcements
made by the association even more
careful attention Is going to be paid
| to the desire of the management to
give a fair complete in every respect.
1t will not be merely a race meeting
advertised as fair but farm and
scientific exposition in every sense of
the word. st
| For several seasons the Fairmont
organization has been aiming TO per-
feet its plan to give an all,round fair
but its efforts were not fully appre-
ciated for the reason that the fair has
been rained under for three or four
years and the people in general never
got to see all that had peen provided
for their entertainment and enlighten-
ment.
The principal feature this summer
will be the exhibition OF agricultural
and kindred exhibits. Live stock and
poultry Will nave their place in the
days visits and they will prove a
wonder even to those who keep In
touch with conditions. The machinery
show will be larger while the exposi-
ttion building, one of the largest OF its
kind, will have a more varied display.
The racing promises to be on par
! with former years and there will be
the usual number of other attractions.
Adequate transportation facilities are
being worked out and the scale of ad-
mission prices have not been changed
from former years.

Dead Minrows in His Pockets.

The Okolona Messenger, in
days agone, the official organ or
the Popuhst party in this State,
severely arraigns Senator Var
daman for his desertion of the
Democratic party.
This is the common note of
comment. During the past few
days the Mississippi press has
fairly bristled with criticism of
the junior senator for his hostile
attitude towards the administra-
tion. Some Of it comes from pa
pers that hav, heretofore Leen
very friendly with Vardaman,
and it is a noteworthy fact that
many papers which have always
been prompt 70 defend him on
any and all occasions are singu-
larly silent,
In closing an arraignment of
Vardaman the Okolona Messen-
ger tells this story to Illustrate
the bad odor into which he has
fallen:

Silly Criminal Laws.

VI Perhaps no phenomenon OF
y modern life is more marked thar
\ the prevalent mania for penal
regulation of the petty details of
conduct. There seems to be nc
human action thatisomebody does
not want to prohibit. With the
Incorporate exponents of tenn
perance we have become faml-
liar; the cohorts of Cotton Math-
er have reincarnated in Sunday
observance leagues. But around
these central figures of sump-
tuary legislation circles a host of
minor middlers. Prohibitions un-
der penalty of fine and imprison-
ment of the use in hotels of bed
sheets less than a statutory
length, and of the use of cracked
china in like institutions are but
samples of the absurdities that
have already found their way on
the statute books. And the craze
grows apace. Among the bills
reported as introduced in various
assemblies are those prohibiting
the exhibition by any merchant
of a clock which is too fast-or too
slow, and of the use of face To-
tions by any woman under 40
years of age. A recent bill makes
it a penlsentiary offense for a
man to put his feet on his desk
while debating to a woman stem
ographer. And it is rather more
than a joke. Thoughtful people
complain of the growing disre-
spect of law. Who could avoid
disrespect for such laws, and how
few can or will discriminate be-
tween wise laws and foolish when
both are of equal authority? And
the mischief does not stop there.
With the multiplication of trivial
crimes involving no moral turpi-
tude arrests inevitably increase,
1t is said by an Investigator of
repute that of the 125, 900 people
arrested in Chicago in 1914, over
half were charged with commit
ting crimes which were unknown
in 1894. Now every unnecessary
arrest is an unmixed evil. Every
time that a reputable man or boy
IL 44,westad. haled through the
streets and thrust into a police
station cell, his self-respect suf-
fers an injury that makes worse
citizen. Will the refined woman
who is treated as common Grim
inal, as in one state she may be,
because her hatpin projects more
than half an inch beyond the
crown of her hat, even recover
from the shame of it? 1t is about
time the robust common sense of
the American people put a sum-
mary stop to this "verboten"

ing that they will try to raise
enough foodstuffs for their owr
use. Some of the large Delta
planters, having lands of extraor'
dinary fertility, may materially
increase their cot ton acreage.
Some ,of these may abandon all
other crops, but we doubt that
this number will be large. We
are sure that in the st. Francis
basin the work of diversifcation
is going to continue.
1t might be a fatal mistake if
the South went back solely to cot
ton. Nothing is surprising these
days. Suppose for an instant that
England should lose command of
the seas, and the United States
should herself become involved in
war. No cotton would be export
ed.
Suppose that even though Eng
land holds command of the seas,
she will need all of her own ships
for transportation Of her troops.
Then we cannot get any cotton out
of the country.
Suppose that the German sub
marines continue to cut down the
number of mercantile ships, then
ship room is reduced.
Suppose our congressman re-
main foolish and refuse to pass the
Wilson shipping bill.
All of these contingencies make
trusting to one crop precarious.
If our people plant the acreage
in cotton that they did in 1914,
and then each one tries to raise
enough on his place to feed him
self and his live stock, the pro-
blem will be much simpler.
The thing that made for a high
price in cotton this year was that
in the fall the farmers found them
selves supplied with an abundance
of food, grown on their own places,
for man and beast, and they were
free in marketing their cotton. |
They did not dump the cotton on
the market in October. In that |
month the buyers had to go to the |
farmers. The farmer was able to
make the buyer come to him, be-
cause he did not have to go to
town to buy rations and did not
have to take hiseeotten TO town to
get the wherewithal to buy the
rations.
There may be an increase in the
cotton acreage, but no man is jus,
titled in saying that the increase
will be 80 per cent. He might as
well say it will be 40 per cent.
He might be just as near the truth
when he says it would be 10 per
cent.

Cotton in 1916.

A story in last Sundays Post
Dispatch, dated New Orleans, is
indicative of the recklessnesS OF
the statements some indulge in
when writing for publication in a
newspaper whose editors are not
familiar with the question under
discussion.
A New Orleans cotton expert
says the acreage in 1916 will be in
creased 80 per cent over, what it
was in 1915. No one can tell at
this moment whether the acreage
will be increased 3 per cent, 30
per cent, or whether it will re-
main stationary.
Many conditions that will con
troll the acreage in 1916 have not
yet come into being. Even if it is
in the mind of the growers to
plant large acreage in 1916 there
may be obstacles in the way such
as too much rain or drouth at
planting time which will thwart
the intention.
In 1914 the cotton acreage was
a record in bigness. The total
acreage was SO, 960, 900 acres. The
acreage, it is estimated, was re.
duced to 30,000,000 acres, and an
increase Of 30 per cent over 1915
would give an acreage of about
40,000,000 acres. w th these
facts in mind, the statement Of q
80 per cent increase over 1915 is
absurd.
There probably will be an in.
crease over 1915. There are GER
tain allurements in price that will
draw some people into more cotton
than they planted in 1915, but we
do not believe that with no extra
ordinarily favorable condition for
a big acreage that the acreage
would reach what it was in 1914.
The government reports now in,
dicates an increase in the wheat
acreage over all the cotton states
where wheat is grown except in
Texas and Oklahoma.
The farmers throughout the
South, in so far as reports show,
are practically unanimous in say

CifizeHs by Choice.

In an editorial on "Citizens by
Choice" the st. Paul Pioneer
Press calls attention to the fact
that naturalized citizens of the
United States are Americans by
choice and not by accident. of
birth, and in that connection it
quotes from the novel, "The
Fall of a Nation" in which John
Vassar, member of Congress and
a naturalized Pole, is made to
say: "The man or woman born
in free America inherits it all as
a matter of course. He rarely
thinks of his priceless birthright.

BANKRUPTCY MATTERS
Referee Looney Held Session of
Court Last Tuesday

Referee In Bankruptcy Looney
came down from Houghton last Mon
day night and on Tuesday heard
claims in the matter OF the bankruptcy
petition OF Jake Drey OF Palatka. Mr..
Drey was declared bankrupt short
Iy after his bad fire some time ago and
the first meeting of creditors was
held on Tuesday. The creditors were
represented by Mr.. n. C. Kerr of st.
Paul and C. C. Rite OF Iron River.
Mr.. Drey was represented by Nor
iarty g. Dwyer of this city and Geo.
Power of Iron River. Testimony was
taken ON the claims presented and Mr..
Looney took the matter under advise
ment.
w. s. Hill OF Marquette was present
to object to the discharge OF Dora
Cannon of this city from bankruptcy.
Nrs. Cannon was represented by her
attorneys. Moriarty & Dwyer. 1t de-
veloped that Mrs. Cannon was dis
charged from banki iuptcy last August
and Mr.. Moriarty presented to the
court all of the papers in the matter,
they being found to be regular in every
way. Mr.. Hill was quite surprised at
the finding and asked an adjournment
lin order to decide what course TO take
