SIX STATES CELEBRATE.

Louisiana. Mississippi, Texas, Colorado. Massa-

THE IMMEDIATE WORK.

There are no consequences Of the Worlds Fair
which will be detrimental to ST. Louis. Were the
Worlds Fair injurious to the CITY, the injury would
have come ere this would have been omnous.
at least Instead Of there being signs Of impending
depression there are indications that the vitality
will survive to bring about permanent results.
Local conditions may be misunderstood at large:
il they erroneous predictions are likely TO be
made The Worlds Fair is not. though many non
residents suppose il is. commemorative of final
achievement: bur 1t Is the contrary. symbolical
of the beginning of progress in st. Louis in Mis-
souri, in the South in the West. and in the South

St Louis realizes lis opportunities and obi
cations and 1t prepares TO the latter for the
advantage Of the former The work which Is to be
done right after the close of the Worlds Fair is
more important. in some respects. than that which
was done for and during the Worlds Fair. But
st. Louis has so easily held the mastery over an
extraordinary situation Danish all concern re-
garding the difficulties OF the future
The citizens resolved that general improve

lions Of dollars have been invested in permanent
public work and millions have been contributed to

$120OOOO0 to build the greatest international ex-
position, which furnished additional millions TO
maintain the Worlds Fair and which invested about
$1o,000OOO in public imprOvements-all in three
years-thereby has shown its capacity to accept the
resultant opportunities. Public spirit is not more
pronounced in any American city than it is in ST.

FAIRBANKs's GLAZING OMISSION.

Not once during his Missouri efforts did Senator
Fairbanks mention the name of Walbridge. That
is a wonderfully unique and powerfully striking
fact.
Possibly the Republican candidate for Vice Pres-
dent didn't know the name Of the man who was
running against Folk, supposed TO be
ming. Even under normal conditions few people
know the names Of Republican candidates in Mis-
souri,. This year few Republicans even in Missouri
itself know the name Of the so-called party nominee
except when Folk himself says something about
the opposition candidate and sets few curious per-
sons to inquirinS who it is. Senator Fairbanks
would not necessarily be expected to know.
Or it may be that the Senator took it for granted
that Mr.. Roosevclt's wishes and admonitions had
been obeyed and that no had been nominated in
opposition to Folk. Mr. Walbridge. il IS true. spoke
from the same platform with Senator Fairbanks
but. since he made reference to Missouri issues
and said nothing which would indicate that he was
running, that fact would not have tended TO alter
the Senator'S notions. However these suggestions
do not satisfactorily explain the Senator'S omission
Owing to the peculiar circumstances Of the case
it is probable that Senator Fairbanks did actually
know Mr.. WalbridSes name. and the truth seems TO
be that he was afraid to hurt his party nationally
by mentioning it. Senator Fairbanks uttered a
few mild plattudcs and hurried out Of the local
Republican envirOns, figurativey holding his nose
What had seemed odoriferous to Mr.. Roosevelt af-
fected him likewise.
Senator Fairbanks had unquestiOnabiy become

knew of the unhoy alliance through such excellent
Republican authorities Mr.. Clinton WEIGH. Mr..
