THE ANNUAL FAIR

The annual Latah County Fair has
closed what is termed by the manage
ment to have been the best fair in the
history of the association, that is, in
point of exhibits. Some doubt exists
at this time as to the real financial
success. The attendance must be
considered to have been up to the
standard of other annual fairs. wealth
er conditions always playing a most
important part in this connection.
The interest shown, not alone
among Moscow people, but among the
people of the country and adjoining
territory, indicates at once that there
is no lack of pride in exploiting the
wonderful resources of this lection.
No complaint has come from any
source over the treatment accorded
either visitors or exhibitors. To SIC
cessfully manage a county far re-
uuires not alone the unselfish spirit of
those individuals whose time is give n
without hope of pecuniary reward, put
cooperation of all the people of the
county That there has been :. spirit
of cooperation is evidenced by the
successful week just closed.
Obstacles which have arisen in
nection with the financial end Of t, e
enterprise is nowise due to the lack
of individual effort To overco re such
difficulties is but a mere matter of
administration in which officials of
the fair association are concerned an |
in which undoubtedly they will &c
ceive the loyal support of Moscow cit
liens.
The annual fair is recognized as the
one great medium through which tie
resources of the county are exploited
The assembling of exhibits is part
of the general work of the officials
and to this must be added the amuse
ment attractions. All this is mat
ter of expense, but the final results
are worth while and the net profits
cannot be measured in dollars and
cents.
While the final details are still be-
ing worked out to close the business
of the fair association this year, :he
officials will not be slow to recognize
the necessity of beginning at once on
the plans for the 1916 fair and the
general public may feel assured that
Moscow people will not fail to take
into consideration the cooperative
spirit of the people of the entire coun-
ty and surrounding territory and that
next years fair may be on even
greater and better scale than ever 10

WASHINGTON LETTER

WILSON AND BRYAN:-Mr. Will
son had heard from all over the West
that it would be political suicide" for
him to get this country into the war,
and from thousands of German-Amer-
leans that they regarded it as unrea-
sonable to insist that the presence of
a few Americans on ships carrying
ammunition to the Allies should be
held sufficient to protect such ships
from attack. Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Will
son we're in perfect accord on the de-
STABILITY of keeping the country out OF
war, but Mr.. Wilson was being prais-
ed for his firm stand" Mr.. Bryan
was franker-and less reckless. He
sent for the Austrian Ambassador
and told him the truth-namely, that
the Presidents omit no word or act"
note was mot to be taken seriously"
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Bryan were equal
ly anxious to avoid war, but Mr..
Bryan was franker about it and was
condemned, while the Presidents less
frank course was bringing him much
praise, and Mr.. Bryan left the Cab
met. Then came the sinking of the
Arabic" and in the face of that the
Administration is helpless. All Eu
rope now knows that the Wilson for
eign policy is to speak valiantly and
then avoid the consequences, in the
language of the day, "To throw a
bluff, but never to make good"
