GREAT FAIR OPENED.

THE GATES of the worlds great

yesterday. Those who have seen all
of the other great expOsitions say
that the Louisiana Purchase show is
so far ahead of the rest including even
the world fair at Chicago, that COM
Parsons are out Of the question. St
Louis is covering more ground, literal
ly and metaph0rically, spending more
money and using better judgment than
any city that has ever been the site of
am exposition.
1t is the first great fair that has ever
been attempted i'm a southern city and
state, though minor eEposiuOns have
been held I'm New Orleans. Atlanta and
Nashville. Missouri is not, geographic
ally speaking. a southern state, but it
was admitted to the Union as a slave
state in 1921 and though it ala not Sc
cede during the civil war, its sympa-
thles were largely with the south and
many battles were fought on its soil.
So Missouri is commonly regarded as
a southern state and ST. Louis as
southern city
The south regards the Louisiana FUR

Missouri is doing the bulk Of the
