THE CHILDREN'S FAIR
Ixaves of bread that were
light, flaky and a golden brow n,
jelly that was transparent and
tempting, sewing which gave
promise of able seamstresses,
and vegetables and fruits that
showed an intelligent interest in
agriculture and horticulture, con
vinced the grown-ups in attend
ance at the children's industrial
fair Saturday that the idea, put
into effect this year for the first
time, is an excellent one.
Through the friendly rivalry
aroused by the competition,
many children whose vacations
might otherwise have been aim
lessly spent have profited by
their experience. The bovs have
taken an intelligent interest in
agricultural matters, while the
girls have had an incentive for
learning something of household
duties.
That the first annual fair for
Hood River county was a decided
success was shown by the fact
that there were entries in all
but one class, and in several
there were as much as a dozen.
All of the exhibits were of a
kind calculated to interest the
children in practical matters of
the farm and home, and an an
nual industrial fair of this kind
should be especially important
on account of its influence in
keeping both girls and boys on
the farm. The success of the
fair should insure its becoming
an annual event, with increased
interest every year.
THE TRUTH ABOUT POLITICS
At no time is it more impor
tant to get political news and to
get it "straight" than during a
Presidential campaign such as
the present one, and at no other
time does such a responsibility
rest upon the metropolitan news
papers, which, on account of
their superior facilities, are de
pended upon for reliable political
information.
In Oregon, owing largely to
the comparatively few cities, pa
pers published in the largest
cities, and especially in Portland,
cover an immense field and upon
them thousands of voters depend
It is a significant fact that
some Oregon newspapers, and
among them some of the most
influential, insist upon adding to
the political confusion of the
present day by distorting news
stories to fit their own partisan
views and in an effort, appar
ently, to pull the wool over the
eyes of their readers.
Such a policy is not only an
imposition upon the readers of a
newspaper, but it can result in
but one thing loss of confidence
in the truthfulness of the paper.
That such an unpatriotic and,
indeed, almost criminal policy
is being discarded by the more
progressive newspapers is indi
cated by the recent announce
ment by the New York Sun as
follows:
"The Sun yesterday printed
Colonel Roosevelt's speech entire,
notwithstanding its great length
and notwithstanding our own
strong opposition to the doctrines
put forth.
'This we did because, in our
view, the American voter should
have the facts and all the facts
of a jwlitical campaign. In our
opinion the day of partisan news
columns has gone by. There
was a time in the history of
our politics when a Republican
wished to hear only a partisan
biased version of what his sworn
enemies, the Democrats, were
doing, and vice versa. With the
encouraging growth of indepen
dence on the part of the indi
vidual voter that demand has
largely ceased. It should cease
altogether.
'The Sun plans to print thej
facts, and z the facts, on the
coming campaign without bias
and without prejudice. It will
hold fast to its own views and
will present them as forcibly as
it can in its editorial columns.
But we intend that the American
citizen, without regard to his
party or convictions, will find in
our news columns a political rec
ord of fact as complete and fair
as human nature can make it.'
It is time for the Oregon news
papers, regardless of their polit
ical affiliations, to recognize the
moral responsibility which rests
upon them in presenting the po
litical news of the country.
Between now and election
there is an even more important
duty than to read the Bible, ac
cording to Rev. Hargreaves, who
says that our immediate exer
tions should be concentrated
upon a study of the measures to
be voted on at the November
elections. Nor is the task a
small one, as the pamphlets now
being distributed to citizens con
tain 250 pages and about fifty
measures.
Articles with special applica
tion to local horticultural prob
lems will be contributed to the
News during the next few weeks
by Professor Lawrence, county
pathologist, and should prove of
great interest to local orchard-
ists. The first articles appear in
this week's issue.
PROGRESSIVES NOT

Fearing that the Hantern Oregon
Pronresnlven mij;lit Kiinpeet a J-ili,
the leader have abandoned the plan
to nominate candidate fur ConnreH
In the Second ami Third IMxtrirts
and only the I'Irnt l)intrii-t will re
ceive attention.
Originally It was lntendi-d to call
maun meeting for the three dint rk-tn
and make three noininatioiiM. The
question wus rained, however, how
the liull Moonern eant of the ('incadcn
would regard a call to make a nomi
nation at Salem. Kantern Oregon
poliliclann have al wiiyn tieen tin Irk, v
about what the politiclaiin of W est
ern Oregon do and they mluht nenne
something crooked In a mann meet
1 ri x for the nn(if brimh country lirlntr
held in Salem. Having connideied
the pron and conn pretty thoroughly,
tlientate commit tee concluded that
the nafent plan wan toarraniri- for a
nomination at Salem for the l-'lmt

a concrete affair, entitled on the bal

other parties. Therefore, It now de
volves upon the I'rogresni ven to hold
a regular mann meeting and nomi

again.
Colonel Koosevelt positively refused
Wedhesday to give any iui vice regard
ing the placing of state and local
tickets In the field, lie was solicited
for Ids opinion by several members
of the committee but he Invariably
side stepped, lie replied that thin

the local leaders rind that he would
be satisfied with their decision.

NEWSPAPER COMMENT
ON THEBULL MOOSE
Judging from the following clip
pings It would seem that the com
plaint made by T. K. to the effect
that the newspaern were not giving

Our contemporaries are talking
about "The Hull Moose Hymn." The
Hull Moose Hymn, we Imagine, Is

News and Courier.
An anxloUH correspondent wishes
to know whether the plural for bull
moose In "bull mooses" or "bull
meene." There Is no plural for bull
moose. There is but one bull moose.
Chicago Record-Herald.
Colonel Koosevelt says that Ills

probably refers to the occasion on
which Moses smashed all ten com
