Qualified
Under the Law
Nebraska law is strict in th«
qualifications demanded of an
applicant for a license to sell
beer and operate a tavern. The
applicant must declare under
oath that he meets all the re
quirements. He is subject to a
public hearing on his applica
tion, where licensing officials
and citizens may examine his
fitness for the responsibility of
a license.
The strict requirements of the
Nebraska law are all to the
good and largely account for
the fact that most Nebraska
beer retailers rate well as citi
zens and businessmen.
The Nebraska Committee
fully approves and supports
strict requirements for licenses
■—just as it supports all laws
and rules of good conduct to
keep beer retailing on the high
est possible plane.

Out of Old Nebraska —
First State Fair Also First
Territorial Fair in the U. S. i
By Supl. James C. Olson, State Historical Society
The state fair week brings to
mind the first territoiial fair I
held in Nebraska City Sep- j
tember 21-23, 1859. While it
can hardly be compared with
the present day exhibition, it
it notable not only as the first
fair of its kind in Nebraska,
but also as the first territo ial
fair held in the United States.
Nebraska City was chosen
as the site as the result of a
competition conducted by the
territorial board of agricul
ture. The Otoe county people
offered to enclose a 10-acre
tract with an eight-foot board
fence, and, according to a
story in the Nebraska City
News, to provide “all the ne
cessary stalls for stock, a flor
al hall, sheds for agricultural,
mechanical and other imple
ments and mechanisms, and a
first-class show ground for
exhibiting horses, etc.”
The list of premiums indi
cates that the managers did
not overlook any type of arti
cle that could be grown or
manufactured in the new ter
| ritory. Prizes were offered for
| a wide variety of exhibits,
and ranged in value from $20
for the best jack and the best
10-yoke of working oxen from
any one county, to 50 cents
for such articles as the best
pair of cotton wove stockings
or the best pair of woolen
fringed mittens. In addition,
there were a good many items
for which no cash was award
ed, just a diploma.
Aside from the exhibits, the
principal attraction appears to
have been a speech by J.
Sterling Morton, then the 27
year-old secretary of the ter
ritory.
The fair was not a financial
success, and another one was
not held until 1869. There
were many difficulties in the
way of a successful exhibition.
The times were hard (the ter
ritory had not yet recovered
from the disastrous panic of
1857), and many at a distance
felt they could not incur the
expense of attending. Even if
they could have, the two reg
ular steamboat packets — the
primary means of transporta
tion — were out of commis
sion, one was sunk and the
other fast to a sandbar.
Then, as the time for the
exhibition grew near, the
board of agriculture found it
i didn’t have sufficient money
to pay the premiums adver

tised; therefore, it had to pay
off i n tei ritorial warrants
which, even though they drew
10 percent, were not received
with particular enthusiasm by
farmers who had seen paper
money become absolutely
worthless two years previous.
Finally, es the Brownville Ad
veitiser put it, the territory
was “in the midst of election
excitement , and everybody
thinking and talking politics.
Even so, it was a good be
ginning, and, to quote the Ad
vertiser again, "Taking every
thing into consideration, we
repeat, the result was all the
most sanguine friends of the
enterprise could expect.”
Mr. and Mrs. Arlen Kirk, of

Condon returned Tuesday from
