!
if the question as to whether the
gates of the Worlds fair are to be
closed or left open on Sunday has
been definitely settled and that
there will be no Sunday closing.
This pecision will be displeasing to
large and important minority of
the American people, but the world
at large will consider it merely as
the proper thing for the great re-
public which boasts of the individ-
ual liberty enjoyed by its inhabi-
tants. The opening of the gates of
the Fair on Sunday will doubtless
mark an epoch in the history of
the United States, and it is not
likely that in the future any group
of people will attempt to compel
others to conform their actions to
the ideas of such group. There will
be greater liberation than ever be-
fore and everybody will be per-
mitted to spend his Sundays as he
pleases so long as he does not in
terfere with or modest his neigh
bors."
Memphis Public Ledger: at is
the moral and not the physical
affairs of this world that concern
our prayers. In any event such is
the opinion of the great body of
the people. That good bishop, who
escapes Gods wrath, when escap-
ing with his plumber from Chica-
COS "temples of SIM" may be
little fanatical. Priests, pastors
and bishops may inveigh against
the opening of the Worlds fair on
Sunday and decry the decree of the
chief justice of the United States
as they may, and heaven will give
no sign. 1t was not opposing
prayers of the north or south that
won victories, but only the big
guns and heavy legions."
Waco News: "Our financiers dis
cussing, what they consider pend
ing issue, in many instances, seem
to loose sight of the fact that this
nation is no longer a weak, feeble
and dependent colony and must
therefore conform her policies to
fit the whims OF European govern
ments in the question of money as
we'll as many other matters pri-
marily of domestic concern"
BRENNAN Banner: "Although
the strained financial condition of
the country continues, there is no
abatement in the confidence of in
vestors in the ultimate result in
the Southern States. New enter
priseS are announced every day,
together with engagements of old
plants, and all branches of indus
try are well represented"
Dallas Times-Herald: "The Tex
as and Southwestern railway sys-
TENS should follow the example
set them by several of the eastern
roads. The Boston and Albany is
selling tickets from Boston to Chi
cago at $3.50 for the round trip"
Houston Herald: "Hon. Waller
Baker wants to call this an off
year in politics and turn to other
Matters With great pleasure.
Mr.. Baker will find it remarka-
bly, off year. for that boom which
he and the Waco News are trying
to work up for governor. The chair
man of the swinOcrats stands about
as much chance to be governor as
does the traditional man in the
moon"
"Boerne Post: The great cry
that China will retalliate on the
thousands of Americans who are
there on account of the Geary Law,
is bugaboo without a foundation.
There are only $50 United States
people in China. The Chinese
massacre the missionaries when
ever they feel like it; they never
respect law for another race, and
there interests will not allow them
to treat them any worse than they
have done in the past; the $50
people can better afford to leave
that land-it would be more
Christ-like--- than for a nation of
6O,OOO,0O0 to be inv AIDED by hordes
Of these Vandals, who respect no
law we can make"
