THERE is a wider range to the
cholera epidemic in Europe now
than when the scourge was at its
height last fall. This is strong
presumptive proof that with hot
weather the disease will reappear
and become more virulent than it
was then. Every consideration of
safety demands the utmost care on
the part of national and state
authorities to keep the scourge
from these shores.

If UNCLE SANS credit is not
good enough in Europe to have his

not have to take it. 1t is in order

THE Harris case having been
eternally disposed of, the Lizzie

ton. 1t is to the full as sensa-
tional as that of the other. In
neither case will the actual facts
be known until time yields up all
secrets.

THE hotel bills of some visitors
to the Worlds fair will be greater
than the entire cost of discovering
America. One man pays $4,000 for
a rented house for six months, and
that is One-half more than it cost
to pay all of Columbus bills. The
whole matter has been carefully
computed by Prof. Ruge, in "Glo
bus" and he fixes the expenses of
the expedition at 100000 marvidis,
81 ,296 of our money. OF this sum
Columbus received an annual sal
airy of 1920, a very moderate
amount for the expenses of one
month at the fair; his captains re-
ceived 1892 annually; his sailors
$2.45 month and subsistence. II
Christopher had only dreamed
what the outcome would have been
he would have struck for higher
wages or sunk the Santa Maria in
the bottom of the sea.

THAT FAIR MEETING.

L
The LIGHT has already inform
ed its readers of the mass meeting
called for Saturday night at the
Grand opera house in the interest
of fair for San Antonio, to be held
this fall. What propositions may
bEsubmitted at this meeting it is
not the intention now to canvass.
The first and most necessary mat
ter to be considered is that of at
| tendance, for unless a good attend
ance of representative citizens is
| secured there is not any use of
talking fair. 1t ought not to re-
require any persuasion from the
press of this city to convince our
leading business men of two
things; the benefit that the city
will derive from a properly con-
Quoted fair, and the impossibility
of arranging for such a fair unless
the whole city interests itself
in the matter. The trade
of this city has ever been
benefited by every gathering that
has been assembled here, no mat
ter for what purpose, but nothing
that ever called southwest Texas
to its natural capital, San Antonio,
has distributed so much money
among the merchants, hotel keep
ers and carrying companies as the
fairs that have been held here.
True, there never has been such a
fair held yet as this city ought to
hold, nor such a fair as she will
hold this fall if her people work
tremendously. If those already
held have been a success, in so far
as their benefit to our trade is con-
cerned, the one to be held this fall
can be made a fOurfOld greater sue
cess. Nothing will advertise our
city to better advantage than the
holding of this fair, to the success
of which all southwest Texas has
pledged itself. Let the meet
ing called for next Satur-
day evening by Mayor Paschal
and County Judge Callaghan
be generally attended; let it be
seen that the citizens are in hearty
accord with the movement; let our
leading business men lead off
in the matter; let the
movement be united one,
each ready to move as the
whole shall direct, and there will
be no question about its success.
The first thing in order is to fill the
Opera House on Saturday night
with the business, brains and cap
ital of this gOOdly city, and awaken
enthusiasm for the fair among
them. When this work is done,
the rest is easy of accomplishment.
1t is a case of you press the button
and the rest does itself.

timber-the largest amount cut in

This timber was obtained mostly in

to Liverpool, England, and the
smaller ones to Chicago. After a
while they come back in the shape of
furniture for which fancy prices are
generally paid.
