Congressman KeatinQ's Letter
Fairbanks on
''Watchful Waiting"

w oSS11oA w aASAAlS
Here is what Mr.. Hughes
running mate said in a speech j
Indianapolis in August. 1918
fully indorsing Wilson's atitud
toward Mexico:
II have no doubt that the dis
turbances in Mexico during tn.
last few years have been due, il
q greater or lesser decree, to ar
effort on the part of ambitious.
cunning men to force interven.
tion and possibly annexation to
the United States.
The exploiters of public util-
tiles and of the mineral and ag-
ricultural resources of our
neighbor have undoubtedly
thought that they would gain
much if they could force inter-
vention by the United States.
"Sensationalists are adding to
the confusion of the situation and
making more difficult the solu-
tion of the problem. Interven-
tion in Mexico, is, of course, not
a matter to be considered light
ly; FOR INTERVENTION
MEANS WAR, and war means
destruction of human lives and
the expenditure of hundreds of
millions of dollars.
ut means, furthermore, the
responsibility of the government
of 10000, 900 people for an indef.
mite period. We are now en-
gagged in governing 10000, 600
alains as a result of the Spanish.
American war-a war which
could very probably have been
averted if we could have exer-
cised a little patience, patriotism
and self-restra
A War for Spectators
If our Spectators in Mexico
suffer pecuniary loss as result
of the recurring revolutions,
that is matter for further con-
sideration, when stable govern
ment and peace are established
in that country. 1t is not war
rant for the shedding of the
blood of Americans.
To sacrafice the life of
one soldier for all the dol
lars investors or specula-
tors have ventured in Mexico
would be the supremest GRIM
inal folly.
President Wilson is dealing
with the situation as best he can.
We may not entirely agree that
his course is better than that of
his distinguished predecessor,
nevertheless we should endeavor
to hold up his hands.
1t is not an hour for either lit
tie politics or sensational journal
ism. The clamoI of the jim
goes should not be allowed to
drown the rational, deliberate
craftsmanship.

States is a safer guide. than SEN

THIRD ANNUAL FAIR
A GRAND SUCCESS

| considering tine TACT tnaC up To
the first of August we had given
up all intentions is hold a fair
this year on account of the ex-
tTeme drouth-which was broken
at that time, the success of the
fair was beyond all possible con-
lectures.
Nearly 800 tickets were sold
Friday, which would indicate an
attendance of something like 2,
500 people the best day, as COM
pared to 8, 500 estimated for the
best day last year.
The displays were not nearly
SO good as formerly. partly ac-
counted for by the shortness of
crop, and partly because there
isn't enough in it. We are edit
orally suggesting this week that
another year premiums be given
on best displays, and thus be
made worth while.
The entertainment in the speed
ring was right up to date, i'm.
mencely enjoyed by probably 2,
600 onlookers during the after
noon of Friday.
The receipts leave the associa-
tion in better shape than ever
before-with the grand stand,
band stand, judges stand and
fencing all paid for and money
ahead.
And now fora fair next year
that will eclipseanything that has
so far been held in the west.
