Waco, Texas-The Texas Cotton Pal
ace, which opens November s and con
tinues until November II. will un
doubtedly be the largest and most In
teresting exposition In the history OF
that institution. President Asher 8
Sanger and the other prominent Waco
business men who are on the boarC
Of directors, are putting forth every
possible effort to assemble collec
ton of attractions that WILDE original
instructive and entertaining. The
premiums offered this year for ex
hibits OF every character are much
larger than have ever been offered be
fore. The wisdom of the directors IL
increasing the value of the premiums
Is shown by the manner in which ex
hibitors all over the state are inquir
ing for particulars and making ar
rangements for space.
Since last year the grounds have
been greatly enlarged. and improve
ments have been made at an expendi
ture of thousands OF dollars. People
attending the exposition this fall will
unquestionably be agreeably surprised
and delighted at the many improve
ments that have been made since their
last visit. Fifty thousand dollars alone
has been spent on the construction oil
a magnificent half-mile race track. and
one of the finest grandstands in the
entire Southwest.
The agricultural interests will re
ceive more attention than ever before
this year. The officials of the Cotton
Palace go upon the theory that agri
culture is the biggest thing in Texas
and that the growth of the state de
Ponds upon the rapid development OF
the farming interests. Products from
the farm, of every possible character
will be one of the paramount attrac
lions. Farmers Will have good rea
son to be pround of the Cotton Palace
Many thousands of dollars have been
expended in the erection of barns for
the display of livestock. Arrangements
have already been made for the plac
ing on exhibition of more livestock
than has been shown altogether at the
Cotton Palace since it was organized
Everything that will be of interest tc
the farmers of Texas will be found at
the Cotton Palace. Not only will the
farmers be interested, but their wives
sons and daughters will find rich
sources of inspiration that will greatly
assist them in their great work OF de
veloping the largest and richest state
in the Union.
Postmaster William II. Hoffman who
is the director in charge of the must
cal feature of the Cotton Palace. de
clares he has secured the services OF
the best band that has ever appeared
at the exposition, or anywhere in the
Southwest. He says he believes thai

worth the price of admission. and that
thousands OF people from all parts OF
the State Will be attracted To Waco by
the band.
The war path attractions will be
on a par with the other features OF
the exposition. In fact every feature
OF the exposition will be on q high

WOULD MAKE
ALL VOTE

Governor Goldsborough says he
believes the State of Maryland should
pass compulsory voting law, under
which those citizens who do not par
ticipate in elections would be depriv-
cd of their suffrage for a term OF
wears. He believes such law would
do more than anything else to de-
crease the use of money in elections.
Now, l think that if the solid body
of citizens in either party voted, the
use of money would be decreased.
That part which is used legitlmately
would be decreased, for it would not
he necessary to make the expenditures
which now seem necessary, to get
people interested and to get them to
the polls. And I think that part used
iilegitimately would be decreased, too,
for if all the citizens voted, the pur-
chasable element would be small
percentage and more or less neg
ligible.
81 believe there are more good peo-
.ple than bad, people in the body OF
or citizens; by that / mean there
are more. people who want decent, elh-
;cient government than there are VINO
want the contrary, or who are will
ing to suffer the contrary for the at
tainment of their personal aims. If
all the qualified voters participated
in ELECTIONS. l am certain the ave-
rage decency, the average honesty
and. the average intelligence would
be far higher.
There is compulsory voting law in
the Argentine republic which mas
been in operation for number OF
years and l am told that excellent
results have been obtained"
While the Gazette has never urged
compulsory voting, it has at times en-
deavored to impress upon every SUI
fragan the fact that it is his duty TO
vote, There have been instances in
thrhistory of our own commonwealth
when we have been rudy awakened

placed in positions people by no
OF the representative class. Virginia
was cut out of the democratic column
in 1872 by citizens who went fishing
when they should have visited the
polls. The readjuster party captured
the state several years later under
similar conditions.

Americans, of it's 25th anniversary,
rs had been anticipated, was interest
ing and impressive from start to H.

the spirit of the occasion.
The Order of Fraternal Americans
is indigenous to the American soil
It claims no ancestry running BACK

manner born; There is but little par

flag and the Bible.
The order has found suitable sol

CAUSE OF
HAY FEVER

If the distress of hay fever IS TO
be avoided, the remedy, according TO
the State Board of Health, lies more
in the moving blade tnan in the drug
store, and relief is to be had through
cutting weeds rather than through
taking medicine.
Hay fever, says a special bulletin
of the board, is due to the pollen OF
certain weeds, and particularly OF the
rag-weed, which flowers at this sea-
son. The pollen, flown by the wind
get into the respiratory passages and
causes the sneezing and mmation
typical. of hay fever.
Many weeds, the board states, have
been indicted from time to time and
charged with responsibility for the
spread of hay fever, The NORWOOD
rag-weed, however, which grows on
vacant lots in cities IS now regard

disease, :.::

HAS BEEN
DONE BEFORE

The Baltimore Sun of this morn
ing says:
The Belgians are protesting against
the larceny of their railroads by the
Germans. The Germans, it Is stated
are tearing up the tracks in Belgium
and carrying the rails and equip
ment to Poland, where they will be
laid down for the use of the army
in that country.
This is something new in the world
In the United States we used to be
familiar with the theft Of railroads
by the methods of high finance. But
to take up rails and transport them
bodily to distant land is new kind
of transaction.
The Belgians are protesting that
this is contrary to the agreement OF
Germany when The Hague conven-
ton was approved We had supposed
that the Belgians by this time had
heard the news that the stipulations
agreed to at The Hague convention
were but scrap of paper.
This is nothing new under the sun.
During the civil war in our country
rails were taken from southern roads
and used by northern companies. At
ter the war many were found in the
equipment of road not far from Bal
timore, and the Orange and Alex
andria Railroad Company, who owned
the rails entered suit for the same.
The matter was compromised, how
ever, and the suit dropped.

should receive. attention. During the
early part Of the summer the Gazette
called attention to the crops of weeds
which were fourishing on vacant lots
in Alexandria, and expressed what is
generally believed that such growths,
when they begin to die, fill the air
with malaria. The owners of lots who
allow them to grow are maintaining
not only nuisances upon their premis-
es, but menaces to the health of the
community, and there is no reason
why they should not be made to abate
the same.
