NIssoURIs HOSPITALITY.
In friendly rivalry between sister states We
are jealous OF our advantages. proud OF our
capabilities. but toward every other member
which should characterize the daughters Of .
common mother. We recognize the ties that
bind us together In mutual dependence -
bonds OF common interest. Diversity OF
climate, difference Ia soil and variety OF PRO-
ducts consequent upon large expanSe OF terri
tory and magnificent distances should mot tend
to antagonize or estrange people OF the same
race who live under the same government and
have an equal voice therein. Rather should
the Interchange OF products and commodities
| result in cementing more closely the relations
Of respect and friendship which should exist
| between people OF common ances-
try and q common destiny. Mis-
| souri, Is here. therefore. with malice
toward none. unmoved by petty jealousies. un-
| aWed by the progress Of her sisters. unSubdued
/ by the feetfng cloud of financial calamity, pre-
pared to do her part. whether it be to maintain
her standing - the most favored state In
natural resources or to uphold by the enter
prise and patriotism Of her citizens the posi-
| ton OF our country among the nations of the
earth.
| A TRIBUTE 10 ILLINOIS.
We would be untrue to our feelings and un.
| just to merit II we failed to acknowledge the

nois, has discharged the overwhelming re-
sponsfbility assigned her. to commend the
courage and the prowess OF this marvellous
| city, and the enterprise and genius OF those
broad-mfnded men who conceived and have
carried to Q successful contamination scheme
for this Worlds exposition which is worthy OF
the great republic II represents. and Is. a.
| nearly as human effort can make it, common
surate with the great event 1t commentaries.
Missouri congratulates Illinois on the dis
tinctfon she has achieved: ST. Louis felicitates
Chicago that after her trying labors she il
higheet hopes. May the lessons of this
great exposition sink deep into the minds
and hearts of all the nations that particle
pate In it. May tho relations here established
| or fostered between peoples differing in race
| religion and government be continued and
strengthened as tho years roll by. ind may
this assembling Of all countries and civiliza-
tions mark the BEGINNING on the earth OF the
reign OF universal peace ind prosperity.

Ohio. further south than Arkansas Texas,
further west .han the territories. further east
than Michigan or Indiana. and is surrounded
and joined by Pennsylvania, New York Louisi-
ana and Florida: whether by design or acct
dent. the locations are happy and the disre-
gard OF sectional lines wise and welcome. May
those lines never be re-established.
May the benefcent results of this congress
of nations, this convention of mankind, con-
tinue to be felt through ages to come ana may
the glorious example Of the republic. under
whose auspices 1t is held. be followed by all
