Some Editorial Expressions.


The Austin Statesman, referring to the
| recent Worlds fair appointments says:
Among other things which Texas will
exhibit to the gaze of an admiring world al
the great fair will be forestry products and
soil Mr. ". Goodrich Jones, one of Texas
young hustlers, will be in charge of the
former exhibit and Mr.. G. S. Hardy of the
latter, two selections that prove conclu-
sively that Col. Thomas j. Hurley has a
head as long as Georgia watermelon
In another paragraph the Statesman says
Do little missionary work for the Texas
Worlds Fair exhibit. Texas must not be
forever disgraced by failure TO be repre-
scented at Chicago.
The Concho Herald thinks the present
the accepted time. Texas is receiving Il
great deal of advertising from various
means, and every county is vieng with
each other n bringing to light their virtues
Concho coun v should join the procession.
Talk up the Worlds fair matter, and let US
do something
The Evening Tribune of Galveston says:
"All Galveston is Interested in the display
that shall be made by the county at the
Worlds fair, and all Galveston should lend
a liberal and helping hand to the commit
tees having charge Of this important mat
ter. With proper support the committees
sired, and without it they can not"
The Boerne Post (Kendall county, re-
marks: "There is 10 be z meeting of the COM
mittee next Saturday at Mrs. VOgel's parlor
for the purpose OF organizing. There seems
10 be = universal interest taken in this grand
exposition all over the entire world and it
IS safe TO say that there will not be man in
the United States outside the poorhouSe
who will not take one or more of the shares
al 81. The man does not honor Columbus
more than ne honors himself when he be-
comes member"
The Hale County Herald says; 'Presi-
dent Hurley of the Texas Worlds fair eX-
hibit is working faithfully in the interest of
this state, and should have the hearty CO.
operation OF the people and the press"
From the Corpus Christi Caller: eve
have all talked OF the Worlds fair suffi-
GENTLY, let US now do something else. 1t is
too common view which sees the Colum-
bian Exposition in the far future and
places it with the things which will not
need attention for some time. This is
wrong. If we would have representative
exhibit and one to be proud of, now is the
time for action. There is only year in
which TO collect funds, raise the Texas
building ard collect the exhibit. What is
more, we have attracted wide attention by
our preparations and have created an ex-
pectat on which We must by no means fail
to realize.
Texas is particularly fortunate in her
Worlds fair connections, and if her posi-
ton at Chicago is not most noticeable she
deserves much blame. With Secretary
Dickinson in Chicago to watch, as he surely
will, her every interest and with her splen-
did association at home, headed by Col.
Hurley, TO secure perfect state organization
and accomplishment, success seems as
sured.
Let each one begin hlsshare of the work.
Children's contribution day viii soon be
here. Are they fully Interested Let their
saving begin at once so that the proposed
noble inscription on the buildings entrance
may be realized and the world will know
the patriotism of the school children of
Texas
