THE COUNTY FAIR

The county fair which was held
last week NAV have been the smost
successful ever held" as suggested
by our contemporary last week, but
its most ardent supporter must ad-
nit that it fell short of being real
county fair.
The attendance was good consid-
ering the weather conditions during
two days; the stock, grain and vege-
table exhibits were creditable, but
the exhibits could have been mater
tally increased.
Many sore spots were left which
might have been prevented by iu-
dicious and diplomatic handling.
Mr.. Woodland, who made an entry
of Hereford cattle, was accorded
treatment which was manifestly un-
fair, and many other minor mistakes
and MISUNDERSTANDING arose which
might have been prevented through
proper organization. ~
The sole reason for calling atten-
ton to these matters now. that the
fair is over is with the purpose of
impressing upon the people of the
county generally the importance of
organizing the fair association along
the lines contemplated by the legis-
lature when the law was passed pro
viding for an appropriation by the
tax commissioners to purchase
grounds.
We believe that wholesome amuse-
ments are necessary if the fair is
to be popular. Athletic contests,
ball games and clean sports of that
character, as well as races of all
kinds. will afford sufficient amuse-
ments to swell the attendance. We
want TO condemn in the strongest
terms the practice of inviting CON
ressions whose part in the program
is to separate as many people as
possible from their money, without
furnishing anything in return which
would adj TO either the intellectual
1r moral forces of community.
We can have a real county fair in
Phillips county.

THE HERALD AND THE NON
PARTISAN LEAGUE .

The political campaign is advance
ing to where just one month re-
mains in which the voter can en-
tighten himself on issues and can
didates involved.
The situation is unusual in that
this presidential year has not awaken
ed the interest or enthusiasm which
We are accustomed to expect. The
present administration is leaving
office with whatever influence and
prestige it ever possessed completely
lost. We do not say this in a par
tisan spirit. but as simple state
ment of fact which everyone recog
nizes-Mr. Wilson'S former follow
ers, as well as his opponents. This
administration has been marked by
some of the most important events
in the worlds history and in which
the government of the United States
participated.
Mr.. Wilson is leaving Office n
broken man; broken in both health
and Influence. The writer is glad
to say that he has always believed
in the sincerity of President Wilson.
He was unfortunate in the fact that
bv temperament and by training, he
was untitled for the office of Presi-
dent.
His abilities along some lines were
great His ideas of government were
fine in theory. but failed when the
acid test of practical enforcement
was applied. Many of his theories
which were socialistic in their ten
dency came perilously near being
autocratic when administrated. The
administration affords shining ex-
ample of the infinite harm which may
arise from fine theroies of govern
ment without the safe. guiding hand
of experience.
Orderly progress along reasonably
conservative lines is necessary. Rad
zeal changes which attempt to cor
rect and revolutionize many estab-
lished precedents in government at
one and the same time is always ac-
companied by possibilities of dis
aster.

called upon TO 20 to the polls and

state, legislative and county ticket
In Phillips county, as well as
some other counties of the state, al
other issues seem subordinate to tht
issue involved in the entry of The
non partisan league ticket, whicl
will be labeled Democratic"
Up to the present the Herald
has made only casual mention of the
league, its accomplishments, or its
Inspirations.
This policy was. occasioned by
various reasons, the chief of which
was the fact that the editor did not
feel sufficiently enlightend on mat
tiers pertaining to the organization
to treat the subject with the intelli-
gence which it deserved. Another
reason for our silence was the fact
that personal feeling had been en-
gendered to some extent, and there
was n serious question as to whether
this community would be benefited
by an attempt to treat the question,
unless it could be considered in n
frank, unprejudiced way without
heat or bitterness.
We do not believe that any news
naper is justified in ignoring ques-
ton as vital as the one involved. IL
we were really newspaperman we
might know how to decide the ethics
involved, but sa farmer We frankly
confess that we are "stumped"
What would YOU do!
If this whole proposition is un-
sound: if the foundations of the
structure are sand and the whole
contrivance comes tumbling to the
ground, no one will suffer greater
loss than my farmer friends.
What would You doi
Here in brief is the policy which
we have inaugurated:
We intend to secure every single
scrap of information possible in re-
gard to the organization of the league
from its inception down to the pres
ent day. This information will be as
reliable Ms can be obtained. and free
from campaign bunk. If an article
appears reflecting on the league or
its officials or leaders, full space
necessary for reply will be ac-
corded to the leagues advocates
inv movement which will not ad-
nit of full. free and fair publicity
is unworthy. Understand that we
are not impartial; personally we feel
that the principles upon which the
league is founded are impractical
md have no chance for permanent
success, but that fact will not swav
our determination to afford n chance
for fair and open discussion of
10th sides of the controversy.
Farmer, banker, laborer or bust
ness man, YOU could ask no more
and be fair. We could accord no
less.
