IT IS THE PEOPLE'S FAIR
' ' The State Fair is the people's fair. It is a public institu

'! And every humblest citizen i3 a part owner.
: :i jNfo wonder that given a competent and vigorous and
resourceful management, it grows from year to year, and,
with the same sort of management, will keep on growing.
r; Witness the great expansion shown on the grounds this
yearover last year Witness the great live stock exhibitions,
overflowing into tents, into, the old poultry building, into the
big stadium.'1' - "
i Witness the increased space taken by every kind of con
cession; every sort of resource and enterprise in every single
department. f
' j A Witness the great crowds, from far and near.
M All this proves; too,' that Salem, the center of the great
est farming, horticultural, gardening and live stock district,
is the natural and preferred place for this important and use

Cven even the comparatively meager state appropria

management, has the making of ever greater records from
year to year, because it is the people's fair, and because it is

FOUL WEATHER RIENDS
' V ' (Los Angeles Times) -
! When the border ruffian, Marjnion (as Scott tells the
story,) lay dying on the, fatal field of Flodden there was no
page, squire or groom, no, comrade-at-arms, to bring him ft
drink of blessed water from the spring to slake his thirst.
They were all too. busy, attending to the bloody affairs of the
battlefield. And Marmion was no longer of any practical
value. " V- . '
It was Clare, the woman he had deceived, who, forgetting
hatredswrongs and fears, heard only a plaintive voice, saw
only a human being Jn distress. It was the woman he had
scorned who broughthim from Sybil Grey's consecrated foun
tain the peeded cup of cold water. So, too, it was a priest,
a stranger, not one of his own kith and kin, who, with the
woman, ministered to the last mortal wants of the old swash
buckling warrior. , ; , ; ' v
: An American swashbuckler, knight of a different order,
who had fallen like Marmion, but to more insidious foes than
Scottish spearmen found out also that the boon companions
of his prosperity were too busy with their own affairs to ex
press more than perfunctory regret over the fall of one they
had once been proud to recognize. r x ' ,
Again it was the woman, the wire ne naa aesertea, ior
whose help he had never called when the world hailed him as
a popular idol, who threw all discretion-to the winds and
hastened to his' side, simply saying, 44! don't know just how
I can be of service to him, but many things may turn up
that I can do." ' No rhapsody, no sentimentalizing, just a
plain wish to see the thing through, whatever the rights or
wrongs..-, -V' ' v"' ' '
' One other faithful friendjvaited disconsolately for the
return of his absent master, the old bulldog, Luke. He, too,
never reasoned why. Indictments, murder charges mean
nothing to the dog who loves the hand that, feeds him, the
.heart-that sympathizes with his lowly lot; And the fallen
comedian had been kind to his dog, Luke."
' ? Marmion had a woman and a priest to still remember
him when the world had passed him by. Roscoe Arbuckle had
a woman and a dog to weigh not the heinousness of the charge
against him or the censure of the public. It is worth nothing
that the wife returned to him after his chances of continued
affluence .were lost and, whatever the outcome of the trial,
he would remain a marked man.

vealed in the dark hours of
was animated by unreasoning devotion to a higher creation.
The priest was moved by disciplined devotion to a Superior
Being. The woman was swayed by a spirit ot pure devotion
that God alone can interpret.
Of this strangely assorted trio the greatest is the woman.
That which in the dog is instinct, in the priest duty, is re
vealed in the woman as the redeeming factor in imperfect
human nature. So foolishly idealistic, so sublimely impracti
cal is this womanly trait that it can produce in what we call
the worst of women a divine pity that links her directly
with those whom we number among the noblest of the sex.
Under its influence a woman will sacrifice all the material
world values most. She will even bind up the hand that was
maimed in striking her.
No one has summed up this amazing feminine attribute
better than Sir Walter Scott himself in the exquisite lines
from his dramatic epic:
"O woman! in our hours of ease
Uncertain, coy, and hard to please,
And variable as the shade
By the light quivering aspen made;
When pain and anguish wring the brow,
A ministering angel thou!"
Let the human race be glad that the world is still full
of such ministering angels.
Former President Taft has giv

It is officially announced that
James A. Stillman will go to Paris
to prosecute a divorce action
against his wife. Over there se
cret hearings in such actions are
provided for and he will not be
compelled to endure the jibes of
the American press. Litigants of
the Stillman style have no love

couldn't.
There will be no representative
of the west coast on the Ameri
can delegation to the disarma

issue will be one of the dominant
subjects for discussion before the

to hare an open mind. It is a

TRADK REVIVAL tXJNTIXUES.
Following are some brief ex
cerpts from the current weekly
financial letter of Henry Clews,
the Wall Street authority:
"The revival of trade In many
parts of the country has already
been very decided. There Is an
Increasing volume of retail and
wholesale business in nearly all
sections of the country. In the
south and west the decidedly bet
ter situation of tho farmer is
growing even clearer as weeks
go by. Bank loans are being rap-
Idly paid off. The retailers who
have allowed their stocks to run
down to very low levels have ne
cessarily been- placing orders with
the result that distinct Improve
ment has made itself evident in
the manufacturing regions.
"Better conditions in the steel
and iron trade, although still on
a moderate scale, continue to
show themselves, and are in part
the result of the improvement of
the railroad situation. Current
price indexes show that the level
of values Is still moderately on
the upgrade, a tendency which
will be accentuated as interest
rates fall and business becomes
more active.
"The situation is decidedly
clearing up in certain branches of
export business, conditions being
distinctly better in relations with
South America."
DOLLAR-A-DAT LOVE.
An eastern woman Is demand
lng remuneration of & dollar a
day for the alienation of her hus
band's affections. She alleges in
her bill of complaint that she was
deprived of his love for 250 days
and she therefore asks for a re
compense of 1250. If domestic
love is to be standardized at a
dollar a day we may as well have
a ruling by the supreme court.
Every now and Chen some woman
with a half-portion husband wear
ing: a No. 6 hat will be suing an
other skirt for a million dollars;
worth of damages .because sh
stole his affectum. How much
simpler it would be to have the
aforesaid love computed at a sta
bilized price of $1 a day and let
a low-priced bookkeeper calculate

his affections. Standardization

THE t'X EMPLOYED.
According to the department of
labor there are more than 18.000
of the unemployed In San Fran
cisco. The number of Idle in Los
Angeles Is about 10,000. There
are only about 4U.000 Jobless men
n all the states of the Pacific
coast. There are more than that
idle in the single city of Detroit,
and yet the motor industry is re
turning to its old-time vigor.
The same authority reports no
unemployment at all in Salem
this being the only all white city
cn this coast.
With the right kind of co-oper-
ction, as the writer has stated be
ta re, ail the people in the Salem
district who are willing to work
can be kept busy though there
will be no doubt problems in this
connection with the coming of the
winter months.
THE EASY MARKS.
It is said that at various times
and in various ways nearly. $100,-
000,000 of American money has
tone into speculation over the
value of the German mark. Or
dinarily that much trading would
tend to stabilize the value; bu,
the war was too big a thing to
be overcome and nothing could be
done to keep the head ct the Ger
man mark above water. Ordinar
ily the mark would be worth
about 24 cents in American
money. In coinage the mark con
tains five grams of silver, but
ae a basis of currency the value
of the mark has cow shrunk to
less than 1 cent. Americans be
gan buying the mark in singula
tion when it was being exchanged
at S and 10 cents. It has fluctu
ated much, but the drift was
steadily downward. It will come
back, but too late to be of much
help to the speculators.
XOT INTERESTED.
"Between the regulations of the
prohibition director that one can
manufacture 200 gallons ot win
for personal use, without prosecu
tion, and another statement from
the attorney general's office that;
one can do nothing ot the kind
the average citizen is in a quan
dary as to what he may or may
not do." Log Angeles Times.
Not so. The average citizen is
not worrying at all. The average
citizen does not want to make 200
gallons oX wine, or one gallon, or
a thimble full. ,
The average citizen is satisfied
to obey the law, in both letter and
spirit.
THE BARK FACTS.
A Los Angeles wife is seeking
a divorce from her husband be
cause he hugged her so hard it
broke two ot her ribs. Trouble
was bruin when the husband b
haved like a bear. No matter
how much attached a woman is
to her spouse, she does not ex
pect him to take the place of a
corset. Log Angeles Times.
DAYLIGHT SAVING.
A man who has an office in the
tower of the Woolworth building
in New York city will have almost
an hour more of sunlight each
day than the dweller in the street.
Put think how much more pleai
ure and daylight he would find
on the brow of Mt. Hood.
STUMBLING BLOCKS.
... There Is a well defined feeling
among a goodly number of dele
gates to the assembly of the
League of Nations that America
is not only hostile to the League,
but hag definite plans for killing
it. Inasmuch as the League now
Includes 5 of the' civilized coun:
tries of the world, this feeling ts
suspicion holds good. If the
r-nitfxi States is sincere in iti'i
desire for world disarmament it
cannot afford to antaconize the
Ltague. even though it declines
to become a member.

THUMBS UP.
A New York bank having a
large number of foreigners among
its depositors has adopted the
idea of using the thumb print
instead ot a signature at the bot
tom of a check. When an account
Is opened the print of the deposi
tor's thumb is recorded in the
book and on an especially pre
pared card. After that the money
may be withdrawn by "the rule
of thumb." There are hundreds
of depositors who cannot write
their own names, but they all have
thumbs, and so the money is still
at instant command. This U an
idea that may be expanded in
other lines.-
