LET'S SHOW THE GOODS.

While regretting that conditions have made
cancellation Of contract for floor space at the
Chicago Land Show. The News is distinctly grat-
flied that the Chamber Of Commerce IS about to
turn It's attention to a project which this paper has
earnestly advocated for the past two years-the
holding Of an All-Panhande Far in Amarillo, be
ginning with next year
The value Of a full and representative exhibi,
OF Panhandle products at the big Chicago show
IS too apparent to be questioned by the intelligent
But this value Is uncomfortable compared to the
greater worth of a local fair designed and nam
tanned for the upbudng Of all this productive sec
ton.
Such an exposition. where the choicest products
OF Panhandle farm and range may be assembled
for the enlightenment and information OF the IN
creduous and inqulring outsider would prove a
factor for development second to no other which
now exists or might be devised
Exhibits in Chicago confront the eyes OF the
distant stranger An exhibit here, in the heart OF
the millions of untouched acres, neighboring the
very soil which mothered the products, would APP

ascertain for himself the truth Of all assertions as
to the worth Of this section
Too much Boosting and too little tangible ev
dcnce have been offered the outsider in years past
in support of our claims of the greatness and posi-
bilities Of this country. The outside world must
be shown the goods and this may be done IN no
more effective way than through the medium pro
vided by big All-Panhandlc air here.
Plans for such fair should be set in motion
during the present winter They should be kept
going through the ensuing spring and perfected be
fore the autumn season, that an exhibit of some
prctensons may be made in he initial year.
The News is strong for this PROJECT now 1t
has ever been. and ventures prediction that the
holding OF first year fair will result in annual
growth of such proportions that within a half de
oade an institution second to few in the southwest
will be bulded
Keep the Fair project in your calculations, gen
tlemen OF the Chamber of Commerce. The peo-
pie want it, and will help you push it to splendid
success.

TEXAS SCHOOL BOOKS.

That only merit shall be the only consideration
which shall influence the State Textbook Board in
its selection of school books from the great mum
Der Of bids which have been opened in connection
with the adoption of xet-books for the Texas pub
lie schools was expected and the announcement
that this was to be the rule scarcely necessary,
vet the board deserves credit for resisting influ-
ences which were brought to bear to induce diff
ferent policy.
Friends of Texas authors have been insistent
tina, the board should discriminate in favor OF
home authors and that idea is commendable to a
degree but merit should not be overlooked in the
interest of home authors Home industry includ
ing authorship. should be encouraged in every
reasonable way but the welfare of more than mil
lion school children should not be subsidiary to
such a consideration, though when a Texas writer
or publisher produces a school book equal to others
Of similar character it should OF course be given
the preference.
In a recent editorial the Houston Post went
further than this however, in support OF the claims
OF Texas writers The Post declares:
Texas authors have produced text books Gov
ering a number of subjects required to be taught
in our public schools. and their merits should be
carefully compared with those OF other publica-
tons on the same subjects and where merit is any
thing like equal the award should be made to the
Texas authors.
With the exception of the words anything
like" this is very good advice. II merit is equal.
the award should be made to Texas authors. but
nothing should be done by the School Board to
deprive Texas school children OF the best books
written. regardless Of authorship or the place Of
residence OF the writers. The Beaumont Enter
Prise went even further than the Houston Post,
however. in its advocacy. of home industry IN con
necton with the adoption of school books Com
menting on the Post editorial the Enterprise says:
We would go further and urge the textbook
board to give preference, also to school books
printed in Texas.
It is noted that among the bids which have
been made are quite a number of Texas authors
and several by Texas publishing concerns and IT is
hoped these books are Of sufficient merit to fully
compete with all rivals in which case they should
have the preference-San Antonio Express.

and perhaps it was only constructive

that they were all old enough to know

But the onlooker from the general

at the next regular session he would
introduce exempting women
from the necessitSaof stating their age
under oath. He thought it would an

Suspicious of Japan.

Il hardly seems possible that there
little fire. as that which is disturbing
certain men high in government coun-
els at the present time. On Tuesday
in the L. S. Senate, Senator Lodge Of
fered resolve requesting from the
President all information at hand as
to the reports that Japan is seeking a
naval base in Mexico. The resolve was
passed unanimously.
1t is suggested by those watching
conditions that the speech of Senator
Lodge in February in which he men,
toned Intervention, would have more
significance at this time.
in regard TO the treaties of arbitra-
ton and other international matters
that have come before the Senate this
session Mr.. Lodge has acted with Sem
ator Root as spokesman for the adj
ministration. But his resolution Tues
day afternoon, was introduced without
consultation with the President or the
Department of State. He seems to be
dissatisfied with the apparent inaction
of our government and determined to
take steps to prevent the success of
Japan. Mr.. Lodges sudden activity is
inspired by recent press dispatches
from Toxic telling OF the consumma-
ton Of the japanese plans involved, of
course. no open cession Of Mexican ter
.ritcrv to Japan, but the purchase first
ny Japanese company of land osten-
Silly to be leased as coal pile for com
mercial purposes. But even in that dis
guised form the plan would at once
be construed here as an overt act of
hostility.
Mr.. Lodge has said that if the re-
ports are true he considers the situa-
ton grave. His resolution is aimed at
discovering, If possible. whether this
second attempt on the part of Japan is
stil under way.
In his February speech Mr.. Lodge
made il plain that he considered such
a move ON the part of Japan no sub
ject for arbitration. Immediate inter-
vention would be the answer of the
United States TO such a move, he said
and the move itself would be tanta-
mount to declaration of war.
The resolve bears the usual term in
its request, IF not incompatible Will
the public interests but indicates sus-
picion of the pretended commercial
coaling places. he returns made to the
resolve by the President and The ae-
ton Of the Senate will be watched with
mingled interest and anxiety.
