i eiemutions To Be Held
Among the special Centennial
celebrations included in the state
wide program are those to be held
at Houston, near which lies the bat
tlefield of San Jacinto where Tex
ans won independence April 21,
1836, by defeating General Santa
Anna, dictator of Mexico of which
Texas was then a province. At San
Antonio Where stands the Alamo,
scene of a tragic massacre which
took the lives of 182 defenders bat
tling a force of ten thousand sol
liers under Santa Anna, there will
also be a special celebration. Near
San Antonio are several missions
which were established by Catholic
padres over 200 years ago when they
accompanied the Spanish conquer
ors into the land of Texas.
Reedy, who will carry the story
of the Texas Centennial Exposition
to Alaska, first went to the north
ern territory in 1895 and since his
return to the states has visited there
many times. He has numerous
friends throughout the territory
whom he will invite to the Exposi
' tion at Dallas.

to exchange sound cash for a busted
earldom and one who is willing to
parcel out clan or family honor for
money in hand paid, there is no
rooin for prejudice in favor of eith
er contestant. —
The drowning of a hundred thou
sand Chinese in a river flood occu
pies less space in a paper than a
sand lot ball game. Chinamen are
so numerous that it is taken for
granted that their principal func
tion is to furnish material for cata
strophe. China will get notice of a
different sort when her dap of aw
akening and action dawns. . *■
One of the incidental results of »
war, threatened or existing, is that
attention is directed to geography
and history, although the informa
tion thus acquired is not worth the
price pair for it. Be that as it may,
the ambitions of Italy regarding Af
rica have sent us scurrying to our ,
books Ethiopia has approximately
the combined area of the states of
M.i higan, Minnesota, Wisconsin. Ill
inois Indiana and Iowa. If those
states were uninhabited and if ev
erynnc in Pennsylvania migrated
thither, the population of Ethiopia
would be represented with reason
able accuracy both numerically and
as to density. Italy, excluding col
onial possessions, has about as much
ground as Illinois and Iowa, with
a population almost five times that
of Pennsylvania. Relative figures
as to war strength would simply be
tiresome. The sporting fraternity
probably will give Italy the odds «.
that would have been accorded to
John L. Sullivan if a boxing match
between him and Paderewski the
pianist could have been arranged.
