REPUBLICAN POLICIES GOOD.
So far aa political policies can produce good times, the Repub
lican party ha3 done it.
For ten years the country has had bumper good times for la
borer and producer.
Wages of labor have been high and prices of all farm products
have averaged high.
There should be no thought by any intelligent person of
putting our country on a free trade basis.
We seriously believe we have the greatest country in the world
We need a great, steady'brain at the head of this nation of
our hundred million people.
SHALL I SEND MY CHILDREN TO COLLEGE?
This is one of the most important questions in many families.
For a career in one of the so-called learned professions the
four-year course may be valuable.
But if your son or daughter expects to work for a living a
two-year course is better.
They will be started earlier upon the serious duties of life,
and be more apt to succeed.
By all means consider the home college first.
If you must send your child away, send to a good one.
CRIME IS ON THE INCREASE.
Since Sheriff Collier has been in office Albert Green was
killed. He was drunk. Oliver Snyder was killed. He was
killed by drunks. A Greek was killed at Dixie. Sweek was
killed, and he was killed by a drunk. Barne3 was killed
when both he and his slayer were drinking. Crowly was
killed. He was drunk and was killed by a man who was
drunk. There are five men, Elmer Shields, Earl Shields,
Bert Green, Ben Hinton and Joe Cascday in the penitentiary
for life, and they were drunk when they killed Snyder.
These men were either heads of families, fathers, husbands
or brothers, and those upon whom the sorrow or shame fell
represent more than one hundred of Grant county's citizens.
Blue Mountain Eagle, Grant county.
The Eagle does not state whether these crimes were commit.
ted In dry precincts or wet.
One thing is certain, serious crimes and lawlessness are on
the increase in Oregon.
WHY NOT TEACH AGRICULTURE?
It is probably useless to remind an agricultural college that
its principal business is to teach agriculture.
It is a thankless task to try toget any public institution out of
a rut it has once fallen into by mistake.
Here is a bulletin advertising a college to train professional
nipn, especially business managers.
The commercial course is held up as being superior to any oth
er business college in the state to train business men.
The school holds itself out especially for the training of high
cliws office employes, railroad and bank bookkeeping, etc.
The four great departments of country life are agriculture,
horticulture, dairying and livestock of all kinds.
If these departments were covered completely and good hands
turned out for those purposes the state would be better served
There are too ninny of our young people being turned away
from the industrial walks of life and directed into soft-handed
jobs.
There is very little excuse for maintaining at state expense a
l)ig commercial department at a state farmers' school.
$100 FOR A SLOGAN.
Kenneth Myers, secretary of the New Westminster Progres
sive Association, offers $100 for the best slogan for that city.
The contest closes Septemlwr 12, and there is a second prize
of $r0, out of which the bright city up north gets publicity.
Study the map, read the statistical reports, and then try your
hand on a Rlogan for advertising purposes.
We suggest the passage from the Psalms: "How beautiful
upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings glad tidings
of good things."
No use sending any bulletins on dry farming to the Willam
ette valley.
Eastern senators are sending us speeches on sugar tariff. Just
the same there is no excuse for a tariff to protect a few Louisi
ana cane sugar manufacturers. The sugnr tax is the biggest tax
an American family pays.
These lines from Pope's Essay on Man, appropose to Governor
West :
"Vice is a monster of such hideous mein,
That to he hated needs but to be seen ;
Yet soon too often, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then, pity then embrace."

BOARD OF TRADE
CAS (JET YOU ROOMS
The clerical force of the Hoard of
Trade office has been busy much of
the time for the past few days listing
rooms of private citizens for the ben
efit of state fair visitors. The rush
during the fair Is usually so large that
the hotels, boarding and rooming
houses are unable to take care of them
all. Many hundred rooms have been
offered, and strangers in the city are
advised that they can secure rooms by
calling at the Board of Trade office,
any time during business hours, and
as the crowds grow larger and the
demand Increases, the offices will be
kept open until late In the evening.
First Appearance-
Mr. Montelth, who makes his first
appearance tonight at the state fair
pavilion, as soloist with the DeCap-
rlo band, is one of the greatest bari
tone singers In the United States. Ills
solo work will surprise those who have
not heard him sing. He is well-known
as a leader in singing at Portland and
Seattle.

engines to pull them. From big steam
.shovels that handle a couple of cubic
yards of dirt at a grab, down to dainty
little molds for printing butter. Most
of this material was In place, and
much of It coupled up with the power
and ready to start running, but there
was a small army there too, putting
on the finishing touches.
The big bams are full of stock, and
the very best. Some horses that would
kick the beam, If they were tho kick
ing kind, at a point well above a ton.
Great big lady and gentleman, horses,

you as though they would ask what the
whole affair was about, anyway.
Big Pcrcherons, bob-tailed Belgians,

them, and all the very finest of their
kind.
The cattle barns were filled too.
with the aristocracy of Oregon's big
cattle ranches- They were In Btyle,
too, with their hair trimmed, freshly
bathed, clean as well as clean-limbed.
Dainty litt'e Jerseys, regular milk fac
tories, big white-faced Hercfords, wise
looking enough for politicians, Dur-
liams and all the others, and all kinds
except poor.
The hog barns were also filled with
a choice collection, but the horse edi
tor confesses to having seen but two
of them, for the first pen he peeped
Into had a couple of as pretty Jersey
Iteds as ever human eye beheld. They
were not red, but hud as handsome au
burn hair as ever graced Tltlans pic
tures and auburn always was non-get-a-passable
to the old horseman.
At the grand stand a goodly crowd
was gathered to see the speedy ones
taking their exercise, and there were
(tome fine speed showings. There
promises to be some unusually good
Bpeed contests this year, the weather
permitting. The track Is In fine con
dition and If old Jupe Pluv plugs his
sprinkling can, there Is going to be
some records broken. The material,
horses and drivers are on the grounds
to do It, If they have a reasonable
chance.
Superintendent Meredith has proven
in the position ns he has everywhere
else, the right man In the right place.
Frank has a fund of tact nnd a knowl
edge of human nature, that makes him
as supple as nn eel and ns versatile
as a kitten. He fits into any kind of a
place nnd always completely fills It.
This faculty Is largely responsible for
the biggest and best show ing tho Htate
fair has ever made. He didn't make
tho stuff, but he Is largely responsible
for much of It being here.
Another feature should not be over
looked. In fact, cannot well be, for It
Is in evidence on all sides. Is the mag
nificent floral decoration of the
grounds. A grent bank of red gerani
ums forces your attention as you enter
the grounds and then there Is a wealth
of other things crowding one on tho
other, and each Just a little more beau
tiful. The collection of dahlias is mag
nificent they aro nil colors and mix
tures, big and little, long, ragged-haired
literary dahlias; crop-lia:red, pug
nacious dahlias, with their ears grow
ing close to their heads, variegated,
Ltraggly-petaled, poetical dahlias some
of them, a little off In meter. In fact
with a little imagination one can pick
out all kinds of political, religious
and practical dahlias from Teddy to
Hen Selling; Talmago to the Salvation
Army, and from the Carnegie library
kind to "Jimmy the hobo."
This display and arrangement wa3
made by Mr. Hugh Brian, the land
scape artist of Portland. It is certain
ly a fine one, and elicits universal
praise and as it is about the first thing
one sees on entering the grounds. It
seems to put a good taste in one's
mouth.
It Is undoubtedly, so far as displays
and exhibits aro concerned, Oregon's
greatest fair, and that Is saying much.
Whether It will be the best attended
and most successful In that way, de
pends on the weather, and this Is one
of the years that the weather has ship
ped its leash and Is doing all kinds of
st;ange stunts. It does seem as though
the weather clerk's sprinkling can
must be about empty. If so, the Ore
gon state fair of 1912 will go Into his
tory as the biggest and best ever.
