THE STATE FAIR.
The state fair will not be moved
from Salem to Portland. There
would be little excuse for a change
of this kind. Salem, the capital of
the state is the ideal and only place
for a state fair, just as a county
seat is the legitimate location for a
count v fair. Those who favor the
removal urge that, as the fair has
been a financial failure for the past
two years in Salem by reason of non
attendance, if it was held in Port
land the population of that city
would guarantee a large increase in
the annual gate receipts. There is
no question but that Portland people
could, if they would, swell the re
ceipts to such an extent that there
would be no financial loss, but there
is no assurance that they would do
so. It is pointed out that Salem
people attend the fair in much larger
numbers than Portland, even al
though attractive rates are offered
the latter city and favorable train
schedules bring them to the gates of
the fair with little or no inconven
ience. It isn't the cities, however,
that makes a state fair a success. It
is the rural communities and Salem
stands as favorable a show to attract
(hem as would Portland.
The writer remembers an attempt
. i i i. 1 1.
once made in ieurasKa u mini- un
state fair from Lincoln, the state
capital, to Omaha, the larger city,
on just such a plea as that put for
ward by the Portland boosters at
this time. The fair had been run
ning behind ami it was urged that,
with its removal to Omaha, this de
ficit would be wiped out and much
greater attendance would result.
Well, the fair was moved and. at
great expense grounds were prepar
ed and buildings erected in Omaha
to handle the exhibits. The fair was
an Omaha institution for exactly two
years, if memory servo and, at the
end of that time, it was deeper in
the hole than before. So hack it
went to Lincoln, and has since been
held there where it has become a
permanent fixture. Figures showed
that t lie attendance at the fair while
held in Omaha was not so large by
several thousand, and the experiment
was a failure in every way.
It is admitted that weather con
ditions have been unfavorable during
the past two years, and that rain hay
greatly interfered with the attend
ance. With a year of line weather
the attendance would undoubtedly
increase sufficiently to make the in
stitution self-sustaining in its pres
ent location, and the slate would not
be put to the needless expense of
carting it around in search ol the
people. For a half century the state
fair has been indelibly associated
with the history of Salem and any
move calculated to take it elsewhere
would be ill-timed and its outcome
problematical.

The main trouble with the Leader j
editor appears to be that the state!
decided to centralize its activities in!
one normal rather than to distribute;
a meagre appropriation among three ;
institutions. We confess that we are
not' familiar with that light, but we;
believe that one institution properly !
recognized, equipped and supported j
is far better than three poorly paid
and inadequately supplied normal
schools and the people of the state j
who desire to take advantage of their,
facilities will derive much greater ;
benefit thereby.
President-Elect Wilson is credited '
with saving that he believed a man

capable to handle the affairs of the j lawmakers,
interior department than one from
the Pacific coast states. In other
words the ghost of the Ballinger
Pinchot controversy appears to be
bothering the coining Democratic
chief executive. Mr. Wilson should
not be disturbed by this nightmare.
If he wants a suitable head for the
treasury department, he selects some
man familiar with those duties, and
his attorney-general must be one who
has shown himself capable to fulfill
the requirements of the office. To
fail to carry out this idea all down
the line, and especially in the selec
tion of his secretary of the interior,
it to admit that possible political ex
pediency rather than assured compe
tency is the fundamental require
