ABOUT STATS FATES -4- Oregon is chided rather pointedly by the La y' Grande Observer for having a state fair, since state fairs, the eastern Oregon paper informs ns, , are out of date , back numbers, dead, with obse quies long since conducted. I " After spending a day at the fair "we came, to the conclusion that Oregon is not awake to the fact - that state fairs have passed into oblivion and we! ; . are still attempting to force something onto the . people that time in her majestic advancement has ! . written the death knell to. many years ago,' the ') Observer, contends. Remarking that people go be- : ; cause they feel it is a , duty, the paper continues : i ; Portland alone can support a big attendance and, - Portland is still living under he belief that they . . should attend one .day" for business reasons, ' ; hencethe jattendance record' at the fair." : " Yet when expositions throughout the country continue : to break, previous attendance records, with the world's greatest state fair" in Minne sota opening its gates to 408,023 persons this "year, when Oklahomans even forget about the Governor Walton-Ku, Klux Klan imbroglio long ' enough to attend the annual show, when exhibits . are displayed in greater quantities, and in a 4arge proportion of cases are ot better quality, there ap- pears room for slight hope, at leasts , that state fairs may live "on to a ripe old age. . i . ' . A good omen in Oregon and elsewhere for that matter is the rapidly growing interest manifested in the fair by boys' and girls club members, who time after time have entered their stock and their , agricultural products, in 'open classes and won rib bons from veteran exhibitors.': If the farm! Can be A' kept attractive for ; these , youthful1 .contestants,-' there will be.no need of funeral rites at the state ; fairgrounds. AaSA A t ; ; - Oregon's next step, is not .to abolish . the state fair but rather to open: the exposition gates-each ;., year -to larger crowds ' and ; better" exhibits, with - , - .the hope that nltimatelyithe gounds i at. Salem J nay boait an'array of TernianehtHbtiildings-that- - will give 'the fair an outward appearance also of . beuig a genuine saow. The above is from the Portland Evening Telegram -of Wed nesday. . . N' The faets are patent, and, the conclusions are sound. ? The fnext step" is being taken, step by step., Every year sees a larger crowd than the year before, and more and better exhibits r And fnie 1 -ben constructing its main buildings of brick and . concrete. The new pavilion is a creditable permanent Duuumg ; so i ji2wl poultry buUding-rand especially is this true of the mag nificent stadium, which stands as a monument to the splendid vision of t IJptM M-Xi Jones, who sponsored its ? construction av hen he was on, the state fair board. Thev Telegram is right. There should be still more per manent buildings. The Oregon state fair will .endure and prow, anJ its great importance and manifest usefulness in tne d evelopment of the resources of the state warrant the ; best buildings and facilities that can be had, under prudent but pro , gressive management. ' The cost of building the stadium was absorbed by the learning of the f air otheruildmgs may be I provided, in the sameVway; tf f li-i The thing in the above from the Portland ;Telegram that Uleserves especial mention is the fact that it eomparesmost - favorably with the stand that paper, took some years ago. in Regard Wthe state fair ' " '" J"' ' But the Telegram at that time had different owners ant editors. The former editors of I that .paper argued that the place for the state fair was at IPortland. : It. was a mistake idea. It was an exhibition of narrowness, too '?rr : 'i h For Portland cannot be as great as that city .ought tobe without 9 great country and a great population behind it. :- The population 3f-the Willamette valley will- have to be a half mil li.m bcforeiPortlandlbecomes city of a half million people-: imd a' million people! will have to be sustained in the Willam- tte valley and well sustained, before Portland can attain a population of a million . , - V 1 .- " ' And that many people will be m the valley and m the " metropolis some day ; aWd at no very distant day, if the country and eities and towns and the metropolis will. do team work; if they will work together.

In many Instances the singer or play er is not to UameX An education is secured and the young artist Is ' ready to launch out upon a career.

Yoang artists know they must have publicity and they are easy victims of the managers who are interested in musical publications. Some day the young artists are going to rebel and their necessities will , tell;, them the unfairness-of pouring moneys into the coffers of the secret order of managers. Then the public wtll'get music at a fair price and the artists will ' get reputations among . the - people who supply the box Office. .

" I i J It was solemnly declared that men never could fly because they were heavier than air and there fore must always remain on the ground. The world is now flying as a matter of course. ( It was de clared that wires were necessary to transmit messages but. now we are sending messages by radio around the world. It is unsafe to doubt anything, .even .perpetual motion. ' Men have overcome so much that they are likely to over come friction. RELIGIOUS IXSTRUCTOltS Parents who send their child ren away to, school like to think they are going to schools where the religious atmosphere is good and where the students are given first aid in religious life., tin Willamette both the large Metho dist churches have provided in structors in religious education. It is possible that some of the other denominations are well represent ed in the school. It Is not possible that a great school like Willam ette should make an appeal only to Methodist students. The other de nominations In . Salem should make a canvass and see how many of their numbers are here in school. . They will find a right good welcome in prosecuting this work. The feeling between de nominations now is such that they can all work together. We have seen so 'many young people get away from the church and religious life at school that; It has 'become of genuine concern. It must be accepted r as true that the university and the age of In difference in youth coincide and the student outside the church Is laying the foundation for the man outsld the church. - A BAD CASE The governor : of 'Washington had occasion ,to leave -the state. The acting governor came along and anjong other things pardoned a bank wrecker.. There is a good deal of fuss being madelabout it. IJnquestionably Hhere' ia too imueh tendency to excuse the rich. There is . really more degT4ded ' or worse criminal'than the rieh man who; betrays -confidence and robs the trnsting. There is no kind of stealing, quite so bad; The men who betray trusts ought always to be. punished. The poOr. devil. who re8fisupTposed7 necossitier 'get the better of him is the one entit led, to sympathyJit.The ; former steals" to maintain his family, iin luxury, the latter steals tos pro vide for destitute wife and babies. The ( Washington banker ought not to have been pardoned.' J-lie had sinned In the wickedest way a man could sin. The same' piper that told of .the pardoning of this bankerj told ot destitute Grants Pass school teacher forging. She ia in jail, the banker goes free. ' MORE PEOPLE PLAYING It has been hard to teach Amer icans that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." We have been so busy, have been In such a rush to set rich that we have neglected-to learn to play. However the people are now wak ing, f They are eolnff 'to, the' play grounds. Yellowstone Park prob ably; the greatest - park ia the world, shows, a, big Increase in via itor'sk this year, Those who go to this ,park. can' never ;, forget j the place.- Ever afterwards; there is an atmosphere of dleight hanging over the reservation and there is pleasure in the recollection of the things een. L -' J Thev total. of visitors was 138, 351r compared with 98,223 in jthe season of 1922. , Of the total only 9T6 persons arrived .prior -to the official opening June 20th. The increase of 4 0,1? 9 visitors this year exceeded the. most confident pre-season estimate by at least fifteen thousand. X: jiiKixo n .Farm prices, are doing well when It comes to regaining their places. The complaint was that the farm products f ' went down while other epmmodities remained at practical war prices.? Investiga tion reveals that, farm prices aver age an increase of ' 27.3 higher than one year ago. 25.6 higher than two years ago and 11.3 below the average for the last tea years. Wheat has not recovered but that is only one crop. The general farm - ' v. prices are better and there is a rei vlval in spirit among the farmers. IS IT TRl'E; One of the oldest jokes has pro bably as little foundation as any that has been perpetrated. It is the old Joke about butchers put ting dog meat in sausages. .Hon estly now-did you ever know per sonally of a hutcher who was even su s pec ted or doing this; It is a mean joke and one that rv"- tlon. There are a lot of jokes that are cruelly unfair but this one happens to come to our mind. A HUSBATJ Adele Garrison's New Phase of i REVELATIONS OF A WIFE CHAPTER NO. 432 .
