THE PHILADELPHIA
FAIR OF 1926


The Philadelphia worlds fair
for 1926, after a slow and hesitant
start, has got well under way and,
according to present pretty defin-
lite indications, is bound to be the
greatest show ON earth, says the
Springfield Republican. There is
striking historical coincidence in
the circumstances attending the
| Philadelphia Centennial exposition
in 1876 and those Of the present
time. Fifty years ago the coun-
try was well on the road to recov-
ery from the devastating Civil war.
floowed soon after by the panic of
1873. A reunited and re energiZed
country joined in celebrating not
only 100 years of independence but
turning point in national history.
i The greater scale repetition Of his
tory is signalized by the fact that
more foreign countries will be re-
presented at the Philadelphia fair
next year than at any previous in
ternational exposition.
The turn of fortunes of the pres
ent enterprise began after the in
iauguration of Mayor Kendrick,
with the appointment of Col. David
C. Collier a veteran in such SER
wees, at director general. The city
Of Philadelphia has appropriated
$2,500,000 for exposition purposes
proper and $500, 900 additional
for new streets and municipal
work which will improve the ex-
positions approaches and sur
roundings, while $2,000,020 is being
raised by popular subscription in
the city. The Pennsylvania legis-
lature has appropriated $4,000,
one-third of which will go to the
erection of a state building. Many
of the other states, if not most OF
them, will also have buildings. Ex-
hibtion fees and admission charges
are expected to enable the great
show to. pay for itself, but if not
the city government is on record
as standing ready to meet any de-
flciency.
The site of the big show is 670
acre tract, including the city own
ed League Island park, near the
navy yard. There will be some thir
ty permanent buildings, Including
the worlds biggest stadium, to
feost 100000 and to seat 100000
persons. One of the principal con-
cessions is for reproduction OF
the Temple of Solomon, with the
surrounding citadel and buildings,
illustrating the political, religious,
and domestic history Of the period.
The amusement section will be
called "the Gladway," and it it
announced that cheap and tawdry
shows will be scrupulously avoid
ed but that "boisterous" entertain
ment will not be lacking. There
will be historical pageants, athlet-
ic contests, military displays and
so on, and incidentally great
many important organizations, a
number of whom will be represent
ed on the fairgrounds with build
ings and exhibits will held their
annual conventions in the city.

In December, 1870, she came with
her husband to the farm near Del

bers of the w. F. M. S. of Fairfield
and an active worker there in al
ways. She was ever ready to lend
a helping hand to any good cause.
That she was loved by all was
evinced by the hurrying to her
bedside of her loved ones when she
was stricken. by the many old
friends who called to cheer her and
by neighbors who said when death
drew near, I'VE shall miss her So
she mothered US all"

RUBBER AND THE PHIL
IPPINES

IPPINES
II the price Of crude rubber goes
much higher and stays there, a re-
vived interest in the Philippine is
lands will soon be observed in
American automobile circles. Rub
her can be grown In the Philip
pines very easily, especially in
Mindanao, the big tropical island
lying at the south Of the archipel-
ago. Congressman r. l.. Bacon of
New York, who has just started on
q trip to the Far East thinks cit
would be entirely possible for the
Philippines to provide all the rub
Der We can possibly use" During
his visit to the islands he will
doubtless collect more information
on the subject.
RI the English keep up the price
of rubber through their monopolis-
tic control Of East India supplies,
they will force the development Of
rubber plantations elsewhere. Am
erica has gone motor mad and the
immense automobile industry rolls
on rubber as the steam transpor-
taton industry on steel rails. One
thinks with some apprehension Of
the tremendous pressure that
might be brought to bear upon the
United States government to open
up the Philippines to exploitation
in this line regardless of the wish
es of the natives.
There has been little or no econ
omic development of the rubber
possibilities OF Mindanao for sew
eral reasons, one of which is the
hostility Of the Filipino leaders in
control Of the Assembly at Man
ia to the granting of economic
concessions to American capital.
They fear that the prospect of n
dependence would fade away as
the power of foreign capital increas
ed in the archipelago. In recent
years, too, American resources has
not been keen. for capital hesitates
TO enter d country from which Am
erican authority may be with
drawn.
Our government is pledged hard
and fast to the policy OF Philippine
independence whenever the ma
lives are prepared for it. Even
the military defense of the islands
has been abandoned in consequence
Of the Washington treaties of 1921.
There we are. Now enters the rub
Der famine, as noiselessiy as a
rubber tire, to make one think of
the new chapter it might write in
the history of the United States
and the philippine islands. Such
a chapter might affect our whole
position in the Far East. Econom-
ic necessities may be terrible mas
tiers.
Yet there need be no irreconcil-
able conflict between the American
demand for rubber, however great
st may yet become, ana Filipino
desire for autonomy. A settle
ment could probably be arranged
not inconsistent with the interests
Of either side if our government
would assume an attitude contrary
TO its present policy Of the indefin-
lite postponement of the fulflment
Of native nationalistic aspirations.
But if the United States goes in for
rubber, ignoring Filipino Jealousy,
distrust and fear of the conse-
quences, we might still pay too
high a price for rubber grown un-
der our own flag-Springfeld Re-
Chicago claims not to be as
black as painted; but. that is
black enough.

The death of James Goude, aged
almost 102 years, in Baraboo a few
days ago brings forth a situation
which does not apply to many per-
sons. When one reaches the cent
ury mark all the persons of child
hood days are gone and there is
no one left with whom early ev-
ents may be discussed. Under the
above condition the centenarfan
must be lonesome-al old people
are lonesome for that reason. They
live very much in the past, and
have no one with whom to discuss
early events, and for that reason
feel the loss OF companions of youth
full days.
