THE CHEMAWA
GOOD CITIZENSHIP.
There "are certain qualifications of
American citizenship which are generally
understood that seem to be permanently
necessary. I would put as the first the
great underlying characteristic, a sound
character. There never was a time in the
history of this country when more char
acter was needed than t now. In the
simpler days, perhaps they might have
got on without as much of it; for instance,
when a man personally attended to all
Ids business affairs, it was not so neces
sary that his employes should be men of
great character or business intelligence.
But now things have reached the point
when men can no longer be responsible
for the details of their business, and must
rely with absolute confidence upon the ,
character of their employees. The man
is out of place who has no true perspec
tive and no power of adjustment. Intel
licence and industry go hand in hand.
The idle man. has no place in this country.
The successful one must be largely and
wisely unselfish. He must have such a
breadth of vision that he regards his rela
tions to the community with the same
concern that .he regards his own private
concerns. He must be willing to share
public responsibility. No individual rises
in the world without assuming responsi
bilities. We have no special class that is
making civilization for us. Good citizen
ship demands that all join in. Dr. J. H. .

STATE FAIR NOTES.
The Cheniawa Indian' exhibit won first
prize.
The Fair was the most successful in the
history of the State. The attendance was
large every day and the exhibits were
good.
The small boys looked very nice dressed
in their uniforms at the Fair and solicited s
many favorable remarks from strangers.
In fact, we are pleased to state, that all
the Chemawa pupils present did credit to
their school by their neat appearance and
orderly manners.

Our harness department was first in
order for prizes. This department has
carried off first prize at Oregon State fairs
for the past six years.
The boys made a fine appearance as
they marched out of the main gate on
their way to the fair grounds under com
mand of Col. Davis and his staff. -
The Chemawa booth was very attractive
and the exhibits were arranged in a man
ner that showed " them off to the best ad
vantage. Messrs. Overman and Woodin
had the work in charge.
Last Friday was Chemawa day at the
Oregon State Fair, and most every pupil
"and - employe were in attendance. The
weather was all that could be desired and
the day was enjoyed by all.

Sam Morris succeeded in doing in
Washington's metropolis (Seattle) what
- he did in the two largest cities in Oregon
and. Calif ornia,that of drawing the largest
ci'owd to a ball game that had ever been
within the grounds. Sam won his game,
too, which, to one who has ever been up
against the "Seattle spirit," is saying a good
deal. The game played in the forenoon
with another pitcher in the box was lost.
