FOR a SOUTH TnxAs FAIR.

The fisures published in yesterdays Post
of the marked financial success Of the Dali
las nsdr this season. were doubtless Rad
with satisfaction by good citizens Of all
sections Of Texas. Tho Dallas fair has
become Texas institution and 10 accom-
pkshang much for the State year BY year.
But Texas Is large enough to support
handsomely two such fairs as the one held
annually IN Dallas. Thousands Of people
in South. Southwest and Southeast Texas
are unable to attend the fair in North
Texas. and many Thousand people In that
section would be unable to visit . South
Texas exhibit In ono Of our South Texas
cities A fail exposition. therefore. OF
large proportions. IN this section Of the
State has become almost a public necessity,
for the entertainment and instruction OF
The people OF the southern half OF the
State, ana the proper exhibit Of our re-
sources and development.
The success which has attended the Fruit.
Flower and Vegetable Festival In this city
the present year and last. has not only
demonstrated that great South Texas
fair at Houston can easily be developed
out OF this festival. but that ut would draw
immense crowds and prove Of inestimable
There would be no confiirt between the
North and South Texas fairs.
The Dallas exposition is held In October,
and the Houston fair could be held in No
vember and December. owing to the differ
ence In climate between the two sections
OF the State. There would. indeed, be
such a friendly and healthfth rivalry be-
tween the two exhibits THAT both would be
stimulated to attain an attractiveness that
otherwise neither would have.
These reflections and considerations have
greatly impressed the promoters Of our
Fruit. Flower and Vegetable Festival, as
we'll as the exhibitors from many points
of the coast country. who have been con-
trlbuting to the success OF the Festival since
Its inception. 1t is more than likely,
therefore. that next year we shall SEQ a
great South Texas fair inangurated as
permanent institution at Houston. Such
a movement ought to have the enthusiastic
endorsement OF fully mlllion people, who
would be directly benaited by such an
enterprise and who would Tall properly
within It's sphere OF influence and become
Its natural patrons.
Texas must bestir itself and show TO the
world what magnificent resources We have
here and what splendid progress we are
making. Two great Texas fairs annually
would be an invaluable advertisement for
the State. and are rendered possible by
our Immense size and diversified features.
