Shall Plummer's Show Quit?
When the Pacific International live stock pavilion
burned in Portland soveral days ago there was n half mil
lion dollar loss. About $350,000 fell on the insurance com
p. nies and the rest fell on the people of Oregon who had
Mry liberally subscribed for stock in the enterprise.
Now cornea thev question to decide, shall the Pacific
Inteinatiomil Live Stock show discontinue, or shall the
building be rebuilt and the pi cat show be put on?
' O. M. Plumnior, the leading spirit that erected the
building and ' built the show, is naturally casting about
lor public sentiment of the state. . Today, he wired the
Evening Observer asking what the peoplo here thought
about the matter.. We do not know. It is safe to say
that Union nnd Wallowa county people want the show
tonlimied, if such a thing is possible. Hut, it is also safe
In say that financial assistance from this end of the stale
will bo far loss than it was when the building was erected.
This is not duo to lethargy of the people, but it is plainly
dun to the fact that the live slock industry has fared
mighty poorly in luto years and many of the breeders
who enthusiiiKtically donated to the cause a few years
ago are broke and out 'of the game now. ' Those remaining
are suffering 'from the low prices of cattle, hence it Is
hardly possible to imagine this section of Hit! country join
ing in a financial campaign to assist the rebuilding of the
pavilion.
Mr. Plunimer anil his assistants developed a great xhow
in a few years. It is one of the oiiUlajHling live slock
events of America, and it would bo with great regret to
Oregon peoplo should it be found necessary to abandon the
dhow entirely.
v Perhaps the insurance money will rebuild to the extent
of continuing the show and when things grow brighter for
the live slock nwij as, they are i.uro to do in time, then
proper additions can be made to the building and the an
nual even lean get back into its former successful swing.
Rather Discouraging -7
A census taken in Windsor county, Vermont, the birth
place of President Coolidge, reveals n '10 per cent decrease
in attendance in every town and country church since 1890,
although the county in those !W years lias acquired 5,000
automobiles and the larger number of its 1,100 district
schools, and has substituted more, rapid means of transpor
tation for the ,1,(i92 "working oxen" enumerated in 1K90.
While it will not be safe to generalize for the whole
country frdmthis pno comparative study theiv is afforded
a startling intimation of what may le happening elsewhere.
In a county where good roads, automobiles, railroads
Mid other forms of rapid communication are relatively new
it would be supposed that church attendance would bene
fit rather than suffer. H is not improbable that the rural
and village church throughout many sections of the nation
have experienced the same defection, although statistics
r.how that church membership in the large cities has stead
ily increased.
To sum up the church attendance for the entire county,
it is only half of what it was a generation ago in proper
lion to population. The conclusion reached by the sympa
thetic student is that church interest has declined at an
'.'alarming rale," and that if the decline should continue
in Windsor county it will bo a question of only n few dec
ades before the church will become n "deserted institution"
."lid not even the pious wMl "remain to pray." It may be
paid that church attendance is not the sole index of relig
ious experience and expression, but there is 110 other out
ward evidence that is so reliably indicative of the place
(hat religion has in the daily life of the people. The New
Kugland fathei-s would . indeed see the "rural virtues leav
ing the land" if they could read this report concerning the
piosidenl's "home county."
The nice thing about a bad start is it gives you 1(1011'
to brag alsiul after you get ahead. "
.Turkish judge who rules that poker is not a game of
chance evidently has been "sitting' in."
