represented at the Omaha exposition, says
tho Des Moines Capital.

Is not opposed to a just and proper appropria-
ticu for the Transmississippi Exposition.

BILE endorsement by Governor Drake of a
creditable showing" at the Transmississippi
Exposition.
Referring to the probable appropriation of
900 for the Iowa exhibit at the eXpoSl-
tion, the Missouri Valley Republican says
''that will do very we'll If they can't get
more"
The Ottumwa Democrat has declared that
il the state of Iowa fails to make a decent
appropriation for the Iowa exhibit at the
TranSmissiGSippi Exposition Iowa will be in

| thousands of dollars to cure.
]. w. Jarnigan of Montezuma who sue
| cessfully organized and carried forward
| Iowas splendid educational exhibit at the
/ Columbian exposition, has been delegated to
take charge of this branch of the exhibit
| for Iowa at the Transmississippi Exposition.
! Referring to the contention of some OF the
| Iowa pecpe that no exhibit should be made
! by Iowa at the exposition, the Marshalltown
| Times Republican says that "the state has
! already expended portion Of the 100000 ap-
! prcpriated preliminary movement and
! it would seem unwise to hack out now"
| But Iowa Is rich in resources and can soon
recupepate from all financial drawbacks, says
! the Shenandoah World, and 1t would be a
| mistake for tie state not to be properly rep
resented at the Omaha expedition. 1t seems
| quite certain that that exposition will be the
! next to the Worlds fair in Importance and
| ii Is 50 close to Iowa that our people might
| claim half interest in the great enterprise.
