Springing up when money was plentiful and everyone had the spending and investing fever, the Pacific Interna tional Live Stock Exposition experienced the most marvel ous growth of any similar in the nation. It was due to the above mentioned' cause and the further reason that the coast had nothing big in that line up to that time, and also to western spirit which does it, or does not do it, at once. lint the exposition cannot keep up the stride it ha taken unless the live stock business returns to normal, oi something near normal. It can't be a horse show ex clusively and expect the taxpayers of the state to support it, for the state fair attends to that function. Adroitly was the appropriation obtained for the pres ent exposition buildings from the legislature. It was un der a provision that the exposition was to always lie belt; regularly each year that the state very unwisely njadt large appropriations to erect the present buildings ot ground owned by Swift & Co. Of course this was done u tie the state to the exposition, and all will agree that v strictly live stock show is a good thing. Hut, when ii drifts'into a society horse show, as is too often the cast with such ventures then the state as a whole cannot con tinue appropriations with any feeling of satisfaction. Hut the show must be hehl or the buildings which the state built will revert to the ownership of Swift & Co., who own the land! They close it all up today last speech at midnight. o The Last Few Moments. ItVI'l-lT.ITIl.W. IK'lU'.tl I'hiludclplilu Bulk-tin: A rli-H Wi-nt VirKliilmi. C.

Ju view of the ridiculous .imit the cause of political purity wiuld probably ho advanced more iy awarding the candidate a lis itiDiiisliod service medal tor Ills .'irtue in trutli-lellinK than by pun sliluix him for bis fault. The West Virginia law Is an waluple of political "hokum" lis ipplied to ri lorm iejjii lat Ion. '1 lie inihiic coii.m b-nce and the public lli jerest d.-uiand thai some liiui'. be placed on primary and' election expenditure.-, but the maximum must . lixed to permit a reasonable out ay for legitimate publicity. Over tail' a million persons voted at Iho ili pre.Mthniial eleciion in West Virginia, yet its law forbids a can lidale to spend even the price ol t l-c-'in stamp on cadi elector in l slate-wide appeal. Such laws arc mmiiiU to he ea(led'and only foster lpncn.-y in dealing Willi an ls--ie rthii h reijuires honest thinking and --uihEe legislation )or its solution. Only a few hours away is the state election in Oregon; only a few hours remain for the final wedges to be driver in, for the last words of praise or condemnation to lie lit tered relative to candidates. Hut the die is already cast unless the election is verj close, for last minute changes do not occur often in such campaigns as we are having this year. i, y) all apearances the school bill, which is the measure designed to give trouble in its worst form, will be defeated At least, that is the way it looks. Hut to make the niatlei a eerainty it is well that everyone should turn out and east his vote against the passage of the bill. Take no chances for Oregon cannot afford to let this measure become a statute, regardless of its constitutionality, which has al ready been tUestioned byjnany attorneys of the state. There has been a suggestion that possibly the slati was upset without good cause, that the silent vote which is positively silent, has no intention of voting for the bill Hut this is something not to bet on, and the safe way t make Oregon continue as a harmonious and peaceful state in which to live is to vote down the school bill tomorrow.

Live a Liltle Longer. Slogans aiv wry offVctivi', 1ml jiml.alily oiii of t lie very latest that hits the spot is that of the Oivi'on lu-alth crowd whu-h is mot'timi; in I'orilaiHt, it is, "Live a little longer," ainl at once commands the attention of every man, for the desire to lie is universal. There is no argu ment on that important question, and there should iwi he. The slogan will do good. It w ill open t he eyes ef maiu as to how to live. The fat man may heed llu aijmonitio:' that if he continues to eat heavily and exercise less he w ill die, the lean man may heed the warning that he must oat more fats and huild up. Ohservc, v. o are speaking nf men. for women never have any tlmught el' lat and lean. Nothing worries the ladies as to whether they are grow ing fat, fail' and forty, or whether they are so slender thai in order to appear well in their clothes they need moiv flesh. No, not at all. Women will not take inieivM in the health slogan, will IheyV Ask any gathering id ladies if this is not correct. Washington state finds that it has nut enough puhtic money raised hy taxation to educa! its children aad there fore a few million dollars more must he added at this elec tion.
