One Year, payable In advance $2.00 j EDITORIAL I iffinrrTirr .- x KEEP THE FAIR OPEN SUNDAYS Tho Btntctncnt wnn recently made that tho St. Louis fair had lost a mil lion dollars by bcinR obliged to keep Us doors closed on Sunday. This Btatcmcnt ought to bo a warning to tho managers of the Lewis nnd Clark fair to avoid this piece of foolishness. It Is true that qulto a good many good pcoplo Insist that tho fair should bo closed on Sunday, but all pcoplo can not havo their way about this, and the Interests of tho majority should con trol. Tho pcoplo who subscribed money to tho fair, and tho taxpayers who will havo to foot tho $GOO,000 bill, liavo a right to bo hoard, nnd to bucIi a management of tho fair as will bring In tho .most money. ThlB consideration might bo set nsldo If Sunday opening wcro to bo conducive to Immorality or vicious practices, but such Is not tho case. On tho contrary, closing tho gales of tho fair would send multitudes of pco plo to worse plnces, whoro they would como In direct contact with tho worHt forniB of vlco. If tho crowds tiro kept out of tho fair grounds on Sunday, thoy will not, as tho mlnlstors scorn to figure, go to church or keop tho day holy to any greater an extent than they would If tho gatcB wore open, at least during tho afternoons. Thoso who doslro to go to church, and to obsorvo 8unday religiously, will do bo. Thoy will not bo obliged to attend tho fair becauuo tho gates nro open, and thoy will bo entirely free to act on tho promptings of their consciences uud In accordanco with their scruples. Another thing to bo considered Is that a great many working people will not And time and menus to vis It tho fair on week days, and they ought to hnvo tho privilege of Inking It In on Sundays. Congress, It Is believed, will lenvo this mnttor to tho Htuto, for tho gov tirnmont has no direct supervision over anything except Its own exhibit. If tho government wnntH to closo that portion of tho fair on Sunday It can of course do so, hut tho rest of tho hIiow, which will bo educational and not Immoral, should bo open to tho public. Tho opponents of Sunday opening do a good deal of talking, but If It wero left to tho people at largo thero Is no doubt that u very largo majority would vote for open Sun days, dm lug the afternoons and evenings. Ifcsts Itself.. A great number of bus- Iness men who do not gamble, and who would llko well enough to seo It suppressed, will not declare them selves, for business reasons, whothcr good or bad reasons, and so those who seek to suppress gambling and other vices nro not well supported, and after awhllo loso their zeal and glvo up tho fight for a time. Wldo open gambling may not como Into voguo again In Portland, ns It nourished for awhllo, but wo shall seo gambling really suppressed about tho tlmo that tho prohibitionist party wins nn election. WHY DEMOCRATS CAN'T WIN. SUPPRESSION OF GAM11UNG. After a weary of concludes leta tho Tho crusndo against nil soils of gambling and all devices therefor Is piutty Hiiro to end as all such cm slides do, soonor or later, whllo tho public becomes carrying on tho contest, that It does not pay, uud gaiublors havo their way again until for ouo reason or another a light ugalnst gambling Is again Inaugur ated, What to do about gambling nnd gamblers Is a question that vexes inery municipality, moro or less, and thero seems lo bo no solution of tho pioblem, Tho policy of, practically licensing gambling has been tried In Botnu cities, Including Portland, and Is put haps as good a solution of tho problem as any, although It Is not to bo denied that thero aro uorlous ob jections to It, A city ought to be ashamed to work In concort or part nership with men who vlolato tho laws, und open gambling undoubtedly tempts Bomo pcoplo to act foojlshly uud loso their money who would not tlo so if tho open resorts woro not In voguo; and yet It remalna true that about such a proportion of men will gamblo, In ono way or another, nnd prohibiting It altogether only acts upon some pcoplo na nn additional In- ccutivo to Indulge in this species of vlco. Tho Now Ago has no fault to find with tho publto ofllcors who nro at tempting to enforco tho laws, but judging tho futuro by tho past It sup poses that thoso efforts will bo in a largo mcasuro futllo. Thoro will be an unusually urgent douiaud next yoar for a rnthor wldo open town, on account of tho fair, and public sontl wont will probably sustain this pol toy, Insofar as public sentiment man' Ono reason why the democratic party has no chance of success Is bo causo It is radically divided Into two hostile elements or wings. In New York nnd other custom cities tho Hill-Helmont-Parkor element Is In control, nnd It Is qulto ns hoatllo to the Drynn Hcnrst portion of tho party as tho republican pnrty Is. Tlicro Is some nppcnrauco of pulling together, tem porarily, nnd Hrynn himself 1b cam paigning for Parker, but neither cle ment tins any lovo for tho other, and thoy will fall out and abuse each other savagely as soon as tho elec tion Is over. Tho eastern managers of Judge Parker's campaign aro trust and corporation men, nnd hnvo no U60 whntovor for tho radical and re formatory clement of whom Bryan Is tho chief npostlo and Thomas E. Wat hon Is tho bold and, consistent popu list lender. Great numbers of west ern democrats havo no confldctico In or respect for tho eastern gold- bugs and corporation attorneys llko Gorman and Shcchan, and many of them will cither vote for Watson, Debs or Roosovelt, or will not voto nt all. No party can succeed when It Is thtiB divided Into hoatllo camps. Another tcohoii why tho democrats will bo very badly beaten Is that they havo no Issues or principles on which they nro agreed. Somo nro against Imperialism, others side squarely with tho republicans on this question, Nono of them hnvo any deflnlto pol icy about tho trusts, of which they talk n good deal, and they do not agree even about tho tariff, on which subject thoy hnvo nil sorts of opin ions, ranging from a belief In iiIiho Into free trade to tho highest sort of protection. A third reason wby thoy hnvo no chance of success Is that tho country Is prosperous, nnd most pcoplo nro contented with tho times. Pi Ices nro good, labor Is In demand, nearly overybody Is doing pretty well, and few aro demanding or desiring any change. Under such clrcumstauccs a paity In power has a tremendous ad vantage over Its opponent paity, oven If the latter woro united on anything of Importance. aro talking qulto bravely about their prospects of carrying Now York, Now Jersoy, West Virginia and Indiana, and somo of tho Rocky Mountain States, but these are only a common species of campaign blufflng which deceives fow pcoplo. Thero Is no present prospect that Judgo Parker will carry moro than ono or two small Northern States, In addition to tho Solid South. Of courso it Is within tho rango of possibilities for him to carry New York, but tho chances aro many to ono against such a result, and nobody of good Judgment sup poses that ho can como anywhero near carrying Indiana. Colorado and Montana may bo considered doubtful, but thoy havo only seven votes, nnd It will bo vory surprising if West Vir ginia goes democratic Just to please Grandpa Davis. Tho Now Ago will be surprised If tho whole North Is not prnctlcally solid for Roosovelt, giving him a tremendously largo pop ular majority as well ns many elec toral votes, moro than ho needs. Tug gart and others nro merely whistling to keep their courngo up, and Inci dentally to get as much campaign funds as they can. COLORED MEN FOR ROOSEVELT Not many colored men will voto for Judge Pailter. Their voles will go al most solidly to Roosevelt, tho man who believes that a man Is a man In spllo of his color. In tho South tho colored votois nro practically all disfran chised, and probably they would bo In tho Northern States also If tho democrats woio In power. Tho Solid South Is ono reason why tho North Is also practically solid, mid tho colored votora help to keep It so, and thereby show their good senso, Not that thero aro not many domocrats who aro In dividually friendly to tho Negro raco, but tho attltudo of tho democratic party Is hlstoilcally and chronically ouo of opposition to tho colored pco plo. Tho democrats In public life aio nearly all Southornors, who defy the constitution of tho United States and lefuso tho Negro tho right of cltlzon- ship, whllo using tho Negro popula tion of tho South ns a basis for rep resentation In congress, In the elector nl collego, and In national conven tions. Tho Negro surely has nothing to gain by helping to put tho demo cratic paity In powor, and la not go ing to do so, If tho election In somo of tho North ern States should bo closo, tho col ored votors would hold tho balanco of powor, and thoy may bo trusted to uso it on the right sldo. In local elec tions It may bo well for colored voters occasionally to voto for domocrats, but tho tlmo has not yet como, and may nover como, when It will bo wlso for them to help voto tho republican party out of power and tho democrat ic paity In. Tho colored voters aro all right for Roosevelt, and will holp bla majority lu Oregon, and may snvo Now York, Now Jersey or Indiana for him. FIRST 8UCCE8SFUL PIANO.

Was Washington onco the sits of a great city, long forgotten, unknown to the modern archaeologists Did there live and thrive on the North American continent a race prior to tho Aztecs? Are there treasures of art burled under the soil of this capital? Wherefore, then, the mysteries of tone Just unenrthed in the digging for the foundations of the new build ing for tho Ilouso of Representatives? Far below the foundations of the houses destroyed to tnnke room for the new edlllce these fragments hnvo appeared, nnd tho memory of man to day runs not back to the tlmo when such structures wcro there ns to call for theso deep-laid bases. Nor do the oldest inhabitants know of any one who remembers having seen or heard of such, Washington was built upon virgin soil, so far its city creation wns concerned, In the Judgment of Its founders. Here were farms and small dwellings, a manor house or two, and an unbroken record of freedom from tho Inroads of tho city-makers. The North American Indians did not build cities. They did not dig into the soil to found their structures. Hero, then, Is a problem for tho historians and Cue archaeologists to solve. The first payment of 12,000,000 on nccount of the purchase of tho friars' land In the Philippines, tins been au thorized by tho War Department There has been on deposit In New York since Inst December tho fund of 7, i!30,000 realized from the snlo of bonds nuthorlzed to be Issued In purchnse of tho friars' lauds, nnd a draft for this llrst payment will be mnde on the Rank of England, which will pay over tho money to Uie Sotiedad Agrlcola del Ultramar. The completion of these purchases litis been very much delayed, as grcnt dllllctiltles were experienced in securing n closer title from tho fri ars, owing to tho fact thnt In many cases tho orders attempted to convey their. lauds to prlvnto Individuals and business corporations to prevent their seizure at the time of tho Philippine Insurrection. Secretary nny has forwarded to the secretary of the foreign section of the Young men's Christina Association in New York n recommendntlon from the American minister to Panama that brunches of tho association be estab lished In Pnunmn ami Colon for tho benefit of the men working on the Pnnnmn Caiinl. Tho minister says that tho two hundred young civil engineers and tho four hundred marines on the Isthmus have no attractive place for lecrcatlou when they nro off duty, uud that koiuu provision for them should be mnde. Ills recommendation will doubtless be acted upon, ns (lie managers of thu association are well nware that heforo many months thero uil bo thousands of men where there aro now hundreds needing a place of recreation lu wholesome surroundings. FIRST OF AMERICAN COIN Half Cento Plentiful, bnt Few Are Pre aented for Redemption The treasurer of tho United States on May 0, 1003, redeemed two half cent pieces. This is the first time in the history of the country that any such coins have been presented for re demption. It 1. more than a century since tho first half-cent piece was coin ed and it is nearly fifty years since the government discontinued minting tbem. Possibly not one person in a thou sand now living in ths United States ever saw a half-cent piece. The last annual report of the director of the mint, page 82, shows that 7,81)5, 222 of these coins, representing 80, 926.11, were Issued. For almost half a contury each annual report of tho Treasury Department has included them among tho "outstanding" obliga tions of ths government The half-cent piece was the coin of tho smallest denomination ever mndo by this country. It enjoys tho distinc tion nlso of being tho first coin Issued nnd nlso the first whoso denomination was discontinued. Tho United States mint was established lu 1702 nnd cop per hnlf-cents hnd cents wero Issued In 1703. Hnlf tho total number of half conts Issued wero coined previous to 1810, nftor which year their coinage, with few exceptions, whb limited. Nono was coined for circulation from 1812 to 1824, nor from 1830 to 1818. Flnnl ly, In 1807, their colnnge, with thnt of tho big copper cent, wns discontinued. On nccount of their limited Issue in tho Inst yenrs of their cotnago they prnc tlcally hnd dlsnppcared from tho chan nels of trade. The needs of adopting tho half-cent as the lowest value-computing factor for n coin were mndo In tho enrly dnys of the republic. Colonlnl half-cents and Urltlsh farthings of the same com mercial vnlue were then In circulation and many articles were priced and sold in half-cents. With the progress of the nntlon vnluen roso nnd the needs for a half-cent disappeared and their use following tho first decado of tho century wns almost entirely confined to multiples. Whllo nil other discontinued types nnd denominations of United States coin havo found oblivion, tho half-cent is the only one of which the treasury reports do not record somo portion of tho Issue rodeemod. This singular nnd unexplained fnct has been ono of fre quent comment and Inquiry from mint and treasury officials. Large quantities of half-cents are to bo found In the stocks of coin dealers. The most common dates are sold at a good premium and tho extremely raro ones are worth their weight in gold. Ferran Zarbe of St. Louis was the man who sent the two half-cent pieces to Washington for redemption. Ho now prizes highly tho little voucher calling for "1 cent," and which wns sent to him with thnt amount of cur rent coin In exchnngo for tho two half- cent pieces he had forwnrded.

As exciting an ex perience an can well bo Imagined Is described In tho Alpine Journnl, ami quoted by the author of "Adventurps on tho Hoof of tho World." Tho party consisted of Horaco Walker, (1. E.

All at llrst went well, und soon they began to cross the faco of tho cliff to gain a locky buttress that of fered a likely routo somo hundred feet below tho top of thu wall. "Jacob was leading," writes Mr. Foster. "Walker next, I followed, and Kall mann brought up the rear. Only ouo wns moving nt a time, ami every ono had tho ropo ns taut as poslblu be tween himself and his neighbor.
