FAIR IN 1925 ASSURED

Establishing a record for attendance, quantity
and quality of exhibits, and perfection of detail
in all departments, Gallatin County's Third An
nual fair last week proved such a success, financi-
ally and otherwise, that its repetition in 1926
seems assured.
This assertion is based upon the statements of
members of the fair fOard, county officials, bust
ness men and citizens generally, who appear to be
unanimous in the opinion that Gallatin's fair, as
an annual event, is now upon a solid foundation.
This is indeed good news for valley folk, for it
is proof that general conditions here are on the
upgrade. While "nOrmalcy," so tritely referred
to by publicity agents, has not yet been reached,
the success of our fair is evidence that a consider
able portion of the road thereto has been covered.
A general "heartening up of our people will fol-
low a realization of this fact.
We have every reason to feel mighty proud Of
the fair just held. It was an enterprise under
taken in response to a popular urge. Although
funds were somewhat limited, the accomplish
ments Herewith were splendid. The exposition
more than paid for itself. Everyone connected
with it is entitled to credit, and there is credit
enough to go around.
The real value of the fair to the people of
Gallatin county will be increasingly known and
appreciated later. Already BOzeman and the
valley have received much praise in Montana
newspapers for their initiative and the excellence
of their fair, and this is destined to bring golden
returns in the future. And then there is the in
c%entive, born of keen competition for honOrs,
that makes for higher standards in every line
of endeavOr.
A decision now to hold another fair in 1926
will be most cOmmendable. It will lay before the
people a concrete proposition, and do away with
uncertainty and consequent delay. It will give
a whole year to prepare for a bigger and a better
Gallatin county fair-an exposition that will GO
far towards spreading the fame of this region
throughout the north and middle west.
"Man proposes; God dispOses," runs the ole
saying. But unless Providence is unkind, GallatiT
COunty's Fourth annual fair will be the largest
and best ever held here and, like the one this year
the peer if not the superior Of any similar even
within a radius of a thousand miles.

COLONEL MITCHELL AGAIN

News dispatches last week carried the an
nouncement that Colonel William Mitchell, former
assistant chief of the army air service, had been
relieved from duty by the war department be-
cause of his criticisms of the way in which our
preparations for aerial defense are conducted.
Colonel Mitchell and the war department have
had trouble before. AS a result Of a previous
tilt, he was denoted from the, rank of brigadier
general and deprived Of his post as assistant chief
of the air service. Now it is probable that he
will be cOurtmartialed on charges Of insubordi-
nation.
It would appear that some of Colonel MitcheIIs
caustic remarks anent the Shenandoah disaster
had a little foundation on facts, and this may be
increasingly apparent as time goes on. An Of

ship has already disclosed that her engines gave
trouble, her gas tanks leaked, and some of hel
aluminium beams we're not strong enough to with
stand the terrific tension they had to bear. True
the testimony is a bit conflicting, but sufficient
facts have been brought out to reveal serious de
fects.
Perhaps Colonel Mitchell is right; his asser
tions that our air defense preparations are con

selves.

the air service, and disagreements with congress
over taxation, federal appointments, and other
things.
President Coolidge has one big asset, however.
That is the confidence and esteem with which he
is regarded by the country at large. Ambitious
statesmen who oppose him for purely political
reasons will have ample opportunity to sense this
sentiment,
Incidentally, Mr.. Coolidge is just entering upon
his third year as president. His accomplishments
in two years as chief executive include reduction
of taxes, lessening of government expenses, re-
~storation of full relations with Mexico, and fund
ing of war debts with several nations.
This record is not at all a poor one, and will
account, in part at least, for the confidence the
country has in him.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The hard,
commonsense characteristics Of Presi-
dent Coolidge have once again been
made evident in his handling Of the
air controversy. Ignoring the charges
and counter-charges, bOastings ana
boOstings Of the various participants,
he has selected an entirely indepen.
dent board to make an investigation.
This is a step which will appeal to
the people at large. The question,
the only question, the real question,
is whether the United States is get
ting a proper return for the money
it is spending on aviation, or whether
the plans for the development Of the
same are proper and sufficient fOl

ing Of Colonel Mitchell, or the vindi-

incidental, and it does not concern

WASHINGTON, D. C.-In view Of
the fact that we already have a sur
plus stock Of native-bOrn and natur-
allied communist agitators in the
United States, the state department
ruling, with the approval Of President
Coolidge, to refuse admission to Sax
latvala, a British communist who
was coming to attend the sessions of
Inter-P Parliamentary Union, is not apt
to work any great hardship on Our
body polite. There will, of course,
be an cutlery from the so-called Lib

It is well for US to remember that
the nter-Parlimentary Union, Of
which he is a member, for all Of its
imposing title, is not an official body.
Therefore, in refusing entrance to
this particular gentleman, we are
not affronting the British govern
ment, because he does not represent
it. The Inter-Parlimentary Union,
and the convention which they are to
hold in Washington, are purely vOlun-
tary affairs. Anybody who belongs
to a parliamentary body is entitled to
membership, and all members have q
right, paying their own bills, Of
course, to attend its convention.

ISL RIGHT WEAPONS

EncrOachments of mail order houses upon the
trade Of local stores have long. been a subject
of concern to home merchants and will continue
to be, no doubt, indefinitely.
Of late the beIl-ringer, who goes from house
to house taking orders for his wares, has become
another formidable competitor in certain lines.
If the home merchant is to hold his own against
these encroachments, he must fight and fight
hard. Appeals to local pride and sentiment are
productive Of little in the way Of practical re-
suits.
Satisfactory goods, reasonable prices, and adj
vertising are the weapons he must use to hold
his own. They are the same weapons that his
outside competitors use against him.
The three must go hand in hand. Satisfac-
tory goods viii not alone secure the business

The speaker today was Rabbi
Gershon Haddas, who told of the
characteristics and ideals of the Jew
ish people, He took the familiar
phrase often heard at this season Of
the year Glory to God in the High
est, Peace on Earth and Good Will
Toward Men" He said THE Jew is
the enigma Of history" He explain
ed that a combination of ideals and
culture make up the typical Jew and
that no man ever was able TO iutelli-
gently explain a Jew. He said THE
Jew outpatriotS the most patriotic
American, and yet has red bloodcd
feeling for the coming of a Zion in
Palestine.
"A thing is not lost until It is Civ
en- up and since the year 70 when
the Jew was driven out of Palestine
by the Romans, he has always
dreamed Of Zion. There are three
million Jews in the world today who
are totally destitute. There were
Jews living in Poland before the
Polish people. The Jew has lived
in southern Russia, Ukrainia and the
Caucasus for ZOO years. There are
Jews in the ports of Cuba, and In
English and German cities who do
not know where to turn. Palestine
is their place of safety.
Jews in America have raised 50
million dollats to save the lives OF
men and women who are wandering
on the road because OF the war.
DO not believe that Judaism is re.
llgion alone. A man can be a Meth
odist or a Catholic by identifying
himself with a certain religious
group, but 4 Jew is different. You
can't become Jew by just going TO
the synagogue or eating certain
foods. This will not make Jew of
you.
The contribution of the Jew to
America is worth while, only so long
as 1t is Jewish. There need be no
fear Of Jewish hierarchy. People
