THE STATE AVD CO t'.VJT FAIR.
THE PROHIBITION COLUMN.
THE Fit I IT AGE OF VnOUltllTlOy
IS KANSAS.
The Omjonian has so well spoken
our sentiments alout the State fair,
and they are so applicable to our
county fair, that we publish the article
entire. The State fair ought to be held
af. Portland, and so should the county
fair be held at Rosebnrg. The prices
of admission should bo reduced at both
places, and ladies should not pay a
i-ent. Tlfe State fair should advertise,
and cease indulging the opinion that
peopU will come whether they know it
or not. Premiums should be given on
small articles and not all riven to the
horse race. .
"The twentv-seventli annual fair at
Salem under the management of the
State Agricultural Society ended on
Saturday. In some respects it was
the best fair of recent ycara. The
exhibit of agricultural products were
better than usual, ana there was more
variety in the entortainment for visit-

By Peter JlcViear, D. D., President of Washburn
College.
The prohibitory amendment to the
Constitution o Kansa?, was adopted hi
the autumn of 1880. The law to en
force this amendment went into effect
in Mav, 1882, a little over five years
ago. The majority by which the
amendment was small. Many of the
temperance people were apprehensive
as to the result. Would it not remain
a dead letter upon the statute books
For several years, even as late as 18S3,
in some cities the sentiment was
strongly against the enforcement. But
the growing sentiment of the people in
the rural districts and m the smaller
towns, became so intensified, that
county officers and state officials even
were made to feel ihe pressure of pop
ular indijrnation against the saloon and
acrainst anv citv that liersisted id
thwartinct the will of tho people.
The most refractory points were vis
ited bv the attorney "cncral of the
state m person, and by the stion" arm
of the law every saloon was closed.
It may now safely be affirmed that th

was large and the "sport . was
from the beginning to the close. As
to the morality of racing and tho
thincs that seem inseparable from it
there is wide difference of opinion, and
since discussion comes to nothing tho
subject may as well be left alone.
On another ground, the speed depart
ment of the fair is criticised unjustly
by those who declare that the managers
rive up too much money to it. As a
matter of fact, tho races more than pay
for themselves. Ihe recoipts for en-
tries in the various races, the gate at
tho grand stand and the sale of the
pooling privilege brought m a sum
more than equal to the sum paid m
racing premiums. Besides this, at
least half of the attendance upon the
fair was attracted especially by the
races. The races are a necessity to the
fair. Without them it could not main-
tain itself at all. Whether or not it is
worth maintaining and whether its
influences are tor better or tor worse
are. matters which must ba considered
with the races included, since without
them the fair would certainly fail.
In its hnanccs the recent lair was
entirely successful. The receipts and
expenditures have not yet- been figured
up, but it is known that the former
are in excess to the latter. The sur
plus, which will not be large, with th c
subsidy of 83000 from the state will
enable the society to pay another large
installment on its debt, which in
another year or two ought to be cleared
up entirely.
The management of the fair could be
greatly improved by more liberal
policy. The cost of admission ($2.50
lor the season tor men; $i for women
and daily entrance $1) is so high as to
limit attendance. Rates ought to be
reduced at least one-half. On the
other hand greater effort bhould be
made to attract attendance. A libsr-
ality. . costing nothing, would have se
cured .a full regiment of militia from
Portland on one day and the great
Barrett circus for the whole week, and
presence of these attractions would
have drawn at least three thousand
people who staid away. Since the suc
cess of a fair depends upon the atten
dance, no pains should be spared to
make it popular.
Since it is the truth not to be dis
puted, we cannot refrain from saying
again that the fair is held at the
wrong place. In Salem it must be an
out door exhibition subject to the
chances of tho weather, and taking one
year with another there will be one
failure in three. Furthermore, at Sa
lem the hotel capacity is limited, there
are no local attractions to speak of, and
not population enough to give the fair
a profitable local support. Since the
State fair claims to be general in char
acter and to represent the whole state,
it should be held at tho largest center
of population, at the place easiest of
access, of most local attractions, where
the means of enteitainment arc suffi
cient for all comers, where it would
not be greatly affected by unfavorable
weather and where there is a large
population to give it patronage and
support. Political managers have
learned by experience that a conven
tion held at the center of population and
business, Portland, is always well at
tended, wliile a convention held any
where else is always full of proxies.
So it is with all popular assemblages.
At Portland the fair would always be
certain of success, good .weather or bad,
as an institution of public interest and
value and financially as well. We say
this not in the spirit of local selfishness
but because it is an evident truth.
Portland has small need of the fair and
if it could prosper as well or even
maintain itself at Salem we would
rather it would stay there.
Every year emphasises the necssity
for a genci-al superintendent, used to
tie management of b g enterprises and
endowed with full authority. Such an
offcer, qualified to organize the fair in
advance, to advertise it in effective
ways and then to manage it would
earn his salary many times over."
laws.
The Governor of the fetale, a few
days since, addressed a lett3r to the
general manager -of the Associated
Press, in refutation of floating state
ments as to tho failure of prohibition
in Kansas. At the adoption of the.
Constitutloai Amendment, the (Jov-
cnior was onq oi those who ueuevea
that the measure was a mistake, but
the results have fully convinced him
of the opposite. From statistics care
fully gleaned the following showing is
made:
In 1880 the population of Kansas
was 996.09G; now it is fully 1,650,(300.
In 1880 Kansas hud only 3,101
miles of railway; now about 7,000
miles more than double.
In 1880 the assessed valuation of
property, real and personal, aggregated
only IG0,89I,G89; now the returns in
dicate a total of $300,000,000 nearly
double.
In 1880 Kansas had 5,151 school
houses, 2,511 churches, and 317 news
papers; now 8,500 school houses, 3,500
churches, and 700 newspapers.
In 1880 only 55 towns had popula
tions in exccs3 of 1,000; now over 200
towns have each over 1,000 inhabi
tants, 25 towns each over 5,000 inhab
itants, and four have each over 20,000.
In 1880 only 8,8G8,000 acres were
planted in crops; this year the area
planted is 16,000,000 nearly double.
In 1880 the value of the faim pro
ducts was about $84,521,000; in 1886
over $264,000,000.
During the past two and one half
years 17 new counties were oi-ganizcd;
four more are a'xmt to be organized,
with only two unorganized counties re
maining. The Governor closes Ins
communication with the following
strong and terse statements of the case:
"The cities and towns of Kansas,
with hardly an exception, have kept
pace in growth and prosperity w ith
this marvelous development of the
state. Many of them have doubled
their population during the past year,
aud it is a remarkable fact that several
cities and towns languished or stood
still until they abolished their saloons,
and from that date to the present time
their growth and prosperity has equaled,
and in Borne instances surpassed, that
of other places with equal natural ad
vantages.
ihe summing up or the lacts or a
census confute and confound those who
assert that the material prosperity of
any community is promoted by the
presence of saloons So as far as Kan
sas and all her cities and towns arc
concerned, the reverse of this assertion
is true. The most wonderful era of
prosperity, of material, moral and in
tellectual development, of growth in
the country, cities and towns evci
witnessed on the American continent
has been illustrated in Kansas during
the past two years, the period of its
most energetic and complete- enforce
ment." The prohibitory movement now is
of the nature of a great moral reform,
The people arc behind it. And the
day may not be far distant when the
wonder will be, as in tho case of Amer
ican slavery, that the saloon should
ever have been tolerated in any civil
ized community.
The Boom.
The excitement and rapid advance
of values in Southern California has
spread all over the Pacific coast and
has added many thousand in population
as well as millions in ' wealth. The
boom is rapidly traveling northward
and Oregon is beginning to share in
the prosperity which it brings with it.
A land like ours where can be raised
almost all kinds of fruit ii fast coming
to be valuable. It is now conceded
that there is little danger of our glut
ting the markets of the world with
our canned and dried prunes, peaches,
and other fruit. The demand for
them is steadily increasing and, of
course thi land that will produce 6uch
fruit is in demand. And, .as the area
is limited, the price is enhanced by
demand. Capitalists whose United
states bonds arc being called m are
looking around for real estate that will
pay at least as miicii as tne&c ionus.
