Helping Along the Cause.

The press of The state continues an ac
| tive co=worker in the interest of having
| Texas make creditable display and stand
| proudly the peer Of any other state at Chi
cago in1 1913.
The San Antonio Express thinks that
every public man in Texas should be heart
and soul in the movement, and upon this
subject says:
Senator Reagan has done what Hon. r.
Q. Mills should have done before he an,
nounced his candidacy for the speakership
come out boldly and strongly for the
Worlds fair. The fact that Mills is
strongly opposed to the Columbian exposi-
way of his securing the caucus nomination
for speaker. 1t is humiliating to Texas that
her most prominent citizen, nationally,
should take the stand Mills did on the
Worlds fair question.
The Houston Post believes firmly in
Texas being represented at Chicago, and
that as the biggest and best state in the
Union she should have the biggest and best
exhibit. The Post says:
Texas ought to be able to raise the neces-
sary fund for a creditable exhibit at the
Chicago Worlds fair without any extraor-
binary eXertion.. The benefits Texas will
receive from it will repay many fold the
amount invested"
Texas will be there in good style if the
people WILL Ollly TAKE Tile duVlCo OF UQ6 waco
Day and send in their subscriptions. The
Day says:
Texas ought to get up that 100000 for
the Worlds fair exhibit without much
trouble. Send in your subscriptions. The
officers of the Texas Worlds fair exhibit
association seem to be doing their full duty
in pushing the enterprise. What are the
people doings
The Dallas News shows itself to be in
sympathy with the enterprise when it says:
Every citizen of Texas should take an in
terest in the Worlds fair. The patriotic
people of this state cannot afford TO be be-
hind anybody in a grand enterprise of this
kind. 1t is matter of business as well as
sentiment. 1t is duty that every loyal,
patriotic father owes TO his children and to
his country"
While Velasco is too busy selling town
lots and taking diurnal soundings of the
seventeen and one-half feet Of water over
its bar, Corpus Christi and Arkansas Pass
are both interested in the Worlds fair
work. The Corpus Christi Caller observes
that leach city, each county has some dis
tinguishing features, has some special ex-
hibit which would bring it into promi-
play its leading characteristics,
and that "a fine exhibit which would dis
play unnlistakable evidence would be worth
more to the state than a Thousand pages of
boom statements and display advertise
ments.n
The Arkansas Harbor Herald, in abiding
to the appointment of Worlds fair COM
mittee for San Patricio county, says:
Now, let each member enter upon the
work III earnest. with a determination TO
succeed. The small sum- asked of our
county can be raised with very little effort;
and it must be raised. The richest county
in the state in its natural agricultural re-
sources cannot afford to be shut out from
that great fair. We. have ample time to
prepare a most creditable display, and the
Herald believes that the enterprise of this
county will insist on a proper representa-

The Crosby County News takes a broad
