BROWNVILLE, Neb., Sept. 22.—To the litor of The Bee: Referring to you criti- cisms of the late Nebraska State fair under the head: “Modernize the State Falr,” friendly eriticlsm, with purpose to pro- duce better work and more beneficlal re- sults, is always in order and welcome. You say, “A state fair should be an ex position of the products and resources (we add ‘possibilities and promises’) of the whole state”” This is true and has been ever the object of the State Board of Ax- riculture. We have never been able to obtain exhibits from all the ninety counties In the state at one fair. No state in the unfon has ever done this. All, or nearly all, counties in Nebraska have from time to time, been represented at the state fair. At the last fair the different sections of the state were more than ordinarily well rep- resented, and to satisfaction of all con- cerned. You further say, The twentleth century state fair should be an exposition in the minjature. The Installation should con- template a subdivision by departments, including agriculture, horticulture, dairy, apiary, live stock, manufactures, etc.” This is precisely what the management of the state fair has always aimed to do, enlarging from year to year. We provide now for agri- culture, horticulture, floriculture, horses, cattle, sheep, swine, poultry, dairy, aplary, manufactures, arts and woman's work, all in separate and distinct departments, each department under supervision of separate, experienced superintendents, To secure the best possible presentation of all these we ofter premiums in the sum of $30.000 an- nually. This s the plan or system prac- ticed by all fairs and expositions in the world. Patrons who visit the Nebraska State fairs and expositions encourage with expressions that we are doing a great work, Such commendations as to the late fair were more than usually flattering, yet with a desire to act in harmony with the pro- grossive age in which we live there is abundant room for improvement from year to year. You object to a premium plan to obtain results sought for In fair work. This, in all respects, Is a money making era. Men are annually less inclined to work in these times for their health or glory. Money rewards solely prompt individuals to action in making fairs. The management most cheerfully and willingly listens to and considers plans for better work and results. Wil you kindly formulate and favor the board with a sub- stitute better than the premium plan? It this can be done, I assure you the board will thank you and be pleased to adopt it. ROBERT W. FURNAS, Secretary Nebraska State Board of Agri- culture. The demand for twentleth century methods in future state falrs does not spring from any antagonism to the pres- ent bonrd of managers or any of its officers. We believe the country has outgrown the conglomerate exhibition of farm products regardless of quantity or perspective. We believe that the practice of depending upon eaprice or aceldent In the collection of exhibits through premium offers Is an absolute drawback to a satisfactory advertise ment of the resources and capabilities of the state. The only class of exhibits for which the premium system may be essentinl 1% live stock. All other pro- duets of farm, orchard and dairy, mill or factory can be procured for money, diplomas and medals, If the hoard would devote $20,000 of the $30,000 which it anoually sets apart for premiums to the purchase of high grade agricultural and horticul- tural and dairy products In limited quantities from all sections of the state, every county in Nebraska would be creditably represented in some depart- ment. Instead of having exhibits from ouly fifteen to twenty out of the ninety collected at random without respect to sy s volume, we would have symmetrical exhibit covering the entire state, In other words, while the magnitude of A nineteenth century state fair is a watter of uncertainty until three or four days before the opening of the gutes, the extent of u twentieth century state fair could be foretold with pre- clsion months before it is opened, bar- ving only seasous of general erop failure or disaster. Under the old method no one can foretell with any degree of talnty how mueh space will be needed for any department of industry or whether all the classes of exhibits will countips, e a or squirements L and bridge-building without enteriug a protest and sounding the alarm? be represented. In the modern state falr there beed be no guesswork or hance of falling down with a of exhibits. The problem of the modern state fair will be not to find exhibits to fill gpace, bt to choose between an oversupply of the very best — BELIEVES IN RECIPROCITY At the cabinet meeting Presi dent Roosevelt Is sald to have plainly indicated by his remarks that he be lieves strongly in the trade reciprocity principle. He had before indicated this in the public statement that he should adhere to the policies of his pr What he sald in the cabinet meeting, however, makes assurnuce doubly sure and will to remove any doubt that may have existed as to the inten tion of the administration to Airge upon congress the acceptance of this prin ciple, which the senate of the last con gress virtually rejected, There is uncertainty to whether the efforts of the administration in this direction will succeed, in spite of the strong reasons presented fn behalf of reciprocity by the late president in his historic Buffalo address. There Is no doubt that the poliey will not be ig nored by the senate at the coming ses sion. It will have advocates in that body who were unwilling to consider it at the last sesslon. But the indiea tlons are that it will encounter a strong opposition, According to Washington advices the president and cabinet have heard from many quarters of the strug gle that is to be forced upon them in- carryimg out this part of Mr. McKinle poliey. Seuators from snany states, it is =ald, have been to the president, ask ing him to do vothing about the pending treaties. Sowe of them, it is alleged, have gone so far as to say that he should have no policy they do not want him to adopt. Whether or not such reports be true, country can depend upon President Roosevelt to steadfastly adhere to the assurances he has given, He has reached no hasty conclustons in regard to the policies to which he Is com mitted and those who know the char acter of the president should under stand that not only will he not abandon those policies, but will strenuously urge them. As to reciprocity, there is no question that he earnestly belleves, as Mr. MeKinley belleved, that it 1s neces sary to the extenslon of our foreign trade, “Only a broad and enlightened policy will keep what we have,” said MeKinley. “No other policy will get more, By sensible trade arrangements which will not interrupt our home pro duction we shall extend the outlets for our increasing surplus, We must not repose o fancled security that we can forever sell everything and buy little or nothing. Reciprocity is the natural out- growth of our wonderful industrial de velopment under the domestic policy now firmly established. The period of exclusiveness is past. The expansion of our trade and commerce I8 the pressing problem. Commerelal wars are un profitable, A policy of good will and friendly trade relatious will prevent re prisais. Reciprocity treatles are in harmony with the spirit of the times; measures of retaliation are not.” In glving expression to these views Mr. McKinley had in mind the welfare of the whole country. He Kknew that certaln interests were hostile to reci- procity, but he contemplated the gen eral good. He spoke for a policy which he Dbelleved would bring the greatest good to the greatest number. This is also the position of his successor and it is consistently republican, wesduy Kerve th FOR THE AMERICA" The great international sporting of the year, the ruces for the America's cup, will begin today. when the first race between the yachts Columbla and Shamrock I will be sailed, the second race following on Saturday, the third on Tuesday of next week and tke fourth and fifth, It necessary, on the succecd ing Thursday and Saturday. That Is according to the schedule, but weather or other conditions may render a change nec v. It one of the yachts should win three races straight the other con- tests will be unuecessary. The Interest In the event in eastern yachting circles is strong * and it is thought that the English yacht will prove to be a little superior to any of her predecessors. Her trial trips since she came into American waters have given her owner and captaln great ¢ tidence and set the experts to guessing. There appears to be no lack of confi- dence, however, in the Columbla, if the betting is a eriterion, for both here and in England Americans are giving odds on the cup defender. Twenty-four races have been sailed o the last Gfty years for the America’s cup, including the initial race, and of these the American yacht has won all save one. It is quite possible that this time the cup will be taken back to England. The London Times compliments Ja- pan upon having the best understand- jug of the Chinese situation and ta ing the most rational course to settle the eastern difticulties. If the Eu- ropean powers could only put aside thelr plans for Iish aggrandizement long enough to act on the suggestions of Japan and of the United States the castern question could be speedily and permanently settled.

In the storm of sorrow and indignation following the death of President McKinley the predominant sentiment, next to that of grief for the dead magistrate, has been a firm determination that the creed of lawlessness and assassina tion shall be stamped out. It has been properly felt that anarchy, which {s fllogical and perniclous everywhere, is especially reasonless in a free democracy.

It is in marked contrast to the conduct of the Guiteau case. The assassin of Garfleld was permitted to gratify his passion for notoriety by glving out inter- views and selling trinkets. In the court room he was allowed to interrupt proceed- ings by long and violent outbursts. Czol- gosz has had no opportunity to proclaim himself a martyr. His trial has been dig- nified and without undue delay. The of- ficlals at Buffalo have given the world an admirable object lesson. Prestdents from Ohio, Aa The Baltimore American. Ohlo has furnished four presidents—Wil- liam Henry Harrison, Rutherford B. Hayes James . Garfleld and Willlam McKinley— and all died i office except Mr. Hayes. Mr. Harrisoa served but one month of his term, Mr. Garfleld six months, Mr. Hayes four years and Mr. McKinley four years and six months, This is a noteworthy record, in| contrast with the terms of all the other presidents, and a particularly ead one in view of the fact that two Ohlo presidents have been aseassinated and that Mr. Har- rison hardly had entered the White House before his term was closed by death. Of the firet elght presidents this country has bad between tho years 1789 and 1841, not one died in office in a perfod of fifty-two years. Thelr terms of office averaged elx and a balf years.

Men and Events in K. of enter New Yo One of the big apartment hotels under construction on Fifth avenue, near Fift sixth street, is owned hy John Jacoh Astor and will cost about $1,200,000. It will com- prise nineteen stories, sixteen of them above the street, and will be ready for business September 1, 1 What will distinguish this structure from scores of apartment hotels is the provision for serv- ing meals piping hot in the rooms of patrons by means of two electric eleva- tors, whose sole use will be as carriers 1o and from the kitchen and the various apart ments. Service by dumbwaiters being deemed inadequate these movable pantries, fitted up with electric heating tables, which can traverse the entire height of the bufld- ing in about a minute and a half. will be \vstalled. In this way rapld service of hot food will be insured. The apartments are to be arranged in suites of two, three, four, nine and eighteen rooms, the last exc ing in area the ex- tent of actual room afforded {n a five-stor Amerfcan basement dwelling. Connected with all the large apartments and with most of the smaller ones as well, will be servants’ rooms, including bathrooms and sitting rooms, all well lighted and on the outside of the bullding The modern apartment house as developed in New York has also developed a large and steadily growing class of patrons who want the best of everything and do not haggle about the price. Among the apart- ments which will be ready for occupanc within a few months there are many which vear. Many of these are already rented and the owners have no doubt that all will be occupled soon after the houses are com- pleted. Tn all of these houses the heating, ventilating, lighting and cooling plants are of the most modern style, they have studlos and roof gardens on the top, and automobile | storage and charging plants in the base ments. There are apartments with large conservatories, and in some houses there are great rooms in which tenants may en- tertain guests at a ball or reception for which their own rooms would be too small. The bathrooms are roomy, and the tiles which cover walls and floors are covered with plate glass. The floors are all inlaid and the woodwork In the various rooms is mahogany, oak, white enamel and bird's-eye | maple. The halls are wainscoted, and many of the dining rooms are finished with cefl- ing beams and high wainscoting, in Dutch style. Every apartment has telephones to the office and for long distance service, there are fireproof safes in the main bed- room of each suite and glass lined refrig- erators, supplied with cold alr from the ice plant, make it unnecessary to keep fce In the place. There are restaurants for the use of tenants who do not “keep house,” and gorgeously appointed dining rooms in the houses where there is a hotel annex. In one of the new houses in upper Broad- way such a diniog room will be on the tenth floor. It will be a great garden, com- manding a fine view of upper New York Bachelor apartments are a natural se- quence in the life of a city where there are many clubs and club men. In New York thousands of men practically live in their clubs in the winter season. That fs, they dine there, pass their evenings there or drop in after the theater or the social call. But while a man may be content to “practically live in a club,” he wants & home of his own, a place away from the club, which would pall upon him in a month did he dine, live and sleep there. Builders, quick to note this phase of bachelor habit are, with thelr accustomed business fore- sight, supplying a needed want. This is a bachelor hotel. In the club house district, between Thirty-fourth and Fifty-ninth streets, there are today fully a score of bachelor hotels, golng up or ahout to be started. While many of these hotels are exclusively for bachelors, some are de- slgned for married couples, who, of course, dine In the hotel restaurant, or, it they like, th n dine out. There is no kitchen housekeeping in these hotels. Like the bachelors, these married counles give much of their time to club life, the husband hav. ing his favorite club, the wife having her whist or euchre team. Inhospltality of New York hotel proprie- tors in their treatment of traveling women 18 well known, says a New York letter, but the fact cannot too often be dwelt upon that New York is an actually dangerous place for unattended travellng women to reach after nightfall. This was proved again for the thousandth time in the case of & couple of cultured and In every way high- class women, mother and daughter, who got to New York one midoight last week.
