The Greater Salem Club can do nothing more practical than to set the pace, and help put on the first exclu sive Salem boat faljf Salem hfisTncse men bare for three years helped raise thai purse, aad It has been a grand hoip to the fair, and a big thing for Salem at the same time. AH the surplus mosey earned by the state fair is spent by the board oa Im provements on the fair ground. It is generally admitted that the state fair grounds at Salem are the best in the whom Northwest The present slate fair board was appointed by Governor Geer, la part swo of the oM state board of agricul ture holding over. , Governor Chamber lain cannot de much better than con tiuoe such management. THEGREATE8T STATE FAIR. The progressive progress of the Ore gon ntate fair must be gratifying to every cttixen. The showing of the present board of agriculture m that of ' having about three thousand dollars cash surplus this year. This shows good business manage ment, as It is the custom of such bod ies) to expend all they get. and gener ally a. great deal more. The demand for money generally makes pnr-e fast er Urns) receipts. The surplus went to wipe out the last dollar of old warrants, the legacy of old state fair boards. The state fair has. In live years, worked itself out of a large debt onto a rash basis and has improved In all ways. The Greater Salem Day purse of flOeo made Salem day the greatest THE PSYCHOLOGY FAD. A traveling leitarer on pnychotogy has loft the city wtth unkind feelings at our people, because they did not turn out en manse to hear him dilate on the science of the soul perchance he could dilate thereon. There Is a rampant class of faddists- thee days who bleed the pubUc in the name of psychology, aad other forme of MMl-ecleitce. who are mere charlatans and quacks dealing from a materialis tic basis. There is no higher or nobler science than metaphysics, on which pschycol ogy is rounded. From the days of Pla to to the present It has engaged the minds of the greatest thinkers and the noblest intellects. But when some great beefy apostlel of psychology, at so much per "pechyhe." comes around and offers to treat nervous diseases, tell fortunes or settle troubles of long standing, it Is not the good of your soul he is after, but your pocketbook. It roflocts the highest credit on the people of Salem that they will not flock out to hear every fakir who comes along with inside information on spiritual affairs, at so much a night. The sincere, earnest student Is to be commended for striving for higher light on metaphysics. It is some thing professional men should study, but they should go to the. fountain heads of thought on the subject read Plato, the New Testament, the earjy Christian fathers. f.

We consider that Oregon Jour naliam was honored, and deservedly so, by the appointment of Barrett. Bugene Register. Lot us analyze the facts about Bar rett He did work on a Portland ev ening paper for a few years. But did that make him a "newspaper man?" Well, hardly. There is no proof that he was even a first-class reporter. But suppose he was. That "does not make him a newspaper man. There are thousands of city reporters who could not run the smallest country newspaper a year successfully. Barrett could not safely be put In charge or the smallest Oregon dally. He never even run a society paper, or trade paper. He never ran any pa per. Is he then a "jouraaHet?" He may be. but a newspaper man, never. Senator Simon, with fitting sarcasm, puts It exactly right, that there Is not much Interest in his case, as he is scarcely regarded as a resident of Or egon. With Infinite gall and superlative cheek on the part of his exploiter he has been held up to the world as the foremost young man in Oregon. What a shame that tbo people of Oregon are thus Imposed upon, nod the native sons and dawghtoni meekly stand back and allow a representative of mere "pull" to be foisted on the world as their superior. Barrett is not a representative man in any walk of life, unless It be the pushing. immodest, self-assertive, overestimated class, who Iraagimj there is nothing they cannot do from l'a king the politician's bouts, to run ning the universe.
