Missouri at Umaha- Speaking of the importance of a proper representation of Missouri at the Omaba exposition, the coming summer, the K. O. World says: “The people of the land should know of Missouri’s greatness, ite fertility and its rightful claims for the investment of foreign capital. . . . ° - The principal and dominant ides of the whole affair is to advertise to the world the resources of the west- ern states. Other states have not been slow to grasp the opportunity. Legislatures have made liberal ap- propriations aod private citizens have added their efforts to the work of their states. | The Missouri legislature, through jan oversight failed to make any ap- | propriation. It will not be in ses sion until the exposition is over. Whatever is done in the way of pre- senting Missouri's attractions must be the result of individual effort. The amount asked for is very small. In Isying ite plans the com- mittee has been most conservative. There is $10,000 asked for « build- |ing and $40,000 for an exhibit. | The amount ie trifling aod should be raised with very little effort.”’ No Hanna Men.
