The Next Worlds Fair.

At midnight, December first, the
curtain was dropped on another
great worlds fair, the greatest in
many ways of the long line. The
work of the wrecker has begun. To
the people of St. Louis who have
taken such pride in the magnihcence
of the ephemerol city of Forest park
the days of demolition will be melan-
choly days. 1t will bring a pang
indeed, to the heart of everyone who
has viewed the great spectacle this
summer, to think that the great
works of art and architecture will be
nothing but heaps of broken stuff
and lumber in a few days more.
ST. Louis has scored most sig
nally with it's undertaking. 1t closes
with a clean sheet. The government
loan has been paid in full and faith
has been kept by CONSTANT refusal
to throw open the gates on Sunday.
The records for the seven months
will show nearly 100000 admis-
sions, and few of that great number
have been disappointed. This record
as expected, falls behind that of
Chicago, which had 27,529,4OOO
admissions in six months.
The present day achievements of
science, industry and invention were
displayed in a remarkable hammer
The most signal feature of the great
show, perhaps was the gathering of
strange and interesting people from
remote corners of the globe to be
seen by the millions of visitors, just
as they live in their own villages.
The Philippine village was an edu
cation in it's self. No matter how
many books were printed on the
subject u possessions in the orient
were terra incognita to most of us.
Now we realize what it means to
govern so many and languages,
with every grade from savagery to
civilization.
The great show city will soon be
a ruin. Will there be another like
it? There are signs that the stag
gering task will not be undertaken
soon again by an American city. 1t
is too great a burden, too great a
risk and popular taste has been sur
fitted for along time. The Portland
show next year, on a much smaller
scale, will attract many tourists who
wish to visit the Pacific cost, but it
can not be and does not profess to
be a great event such as st. Louis
furnished.
When America undertakes another
worlds fair, why not build it for
generations instead of a summerY
Let it be a government affair, not a
boom enterprise for a city. Let it
be a permanent home of science, art
and industry, housed in stone, and
not a dollhouse glory in eggshell
walls. Instead of this magnificent
waste, let us have a national exposi-
ton built to last, an abiding memoir
ial and a schoolhcuse for the liberal
arts.

an army $4,000 or 100000 strong must
look first to the feeding and lodging
Of his men. He will not put great
camp under the fire Of an enemy, but,
while keeping a strong force in the
trenches or on the firing line. will
hold his main army some miles to the
rear, where the men may be easily
supplied with water and food, and
where they may be properly quar-.
