THE SAN FRANCISCO EXPOSITION
With tomorrow's dawn the great
Panama-Pacific Exposition tlings wide ,
its gates for the edification and en
lightment of mankind and from prac
tically every section of the globe thou
sands arc commencing their pilgrimage
to the far-famed city by the Golden
Gate The Panama-Pacific Interna
tional Exposition has been planned on
a scale of such gigantic magnitude as.
will place it heyond comparison with all '
save one or two of the great fairs of;
bistort and in many respects it will
excel the geratest that have gone be
fore Within tlie harmoniously tinted j
walla will he gathered a wealth of all!
that represents the highest achieve
ments of mankind in the most advanc
ed era in the known history of the
world. All that science has developed
for the benefit of the human race; all
that att and literature have bestowed,
will be displayed in their fullest de
velopment. The world's treasure
chests have been drawn upon for all
that is rare, curious and wonderful.
and, these will he spread for the fur
ther education and benefit of mankind
in the eleven mammoth exhibition
palaces and in the exhibits of (he
fort' or more foreign nations which
have erected their own buildings on
tlie allotted sites. it Is a colossal
achievement, this great exposition, and
will right worthily celebrate a still
more colossal one for. be It remembered,
the Panama-Pacific (Exposition was in
augurated to celebrate tlie conclusion
of the world's most gigantic achieve
ment: the building of tite Panama
Canal.
This monumental event in a large
sense marks an e|M>eh in the affairs
not only of the I'nited States, but also
of the world By It mankind has gain
ed benefits unmeasurable Time and
distance have been compelled to yield
to mans persistent activities and
through this mighty effort the world
has, figuratively, been made smaller
yet Through all the long centuries of
mankind's struggle to overcome the
adverse conditions which surrounded
him from the primeval days of his be
ginning, although great <'inquests and
advancements have been his. tills latest
achievement displays to tlie greatest
advantage bis triumph over his sur
rounding environment Thus the
opening of tlie San Francisco fair
marks a manifold series of aehlvements
1 he benefits which the canal will
bring to the I'nited States in a mone
tary sense are beyond computation and
to tiie Pacific ('oast it means tlie be
ginning of an era of prosperity anil
industrial growth which could hardly
have been accomplished by any other
means. Tlie shortening of the routes
from lEurope "ill place tlie Pacific
Slope, to a great extent, in a position
to compete with the more fortunately
stunted AtUintb states in the Kurop- t
v 111 markets thus gi\ dig stimulus to the
development of manufacturing which
has heretofore been unable to attain
i dvantagoua growth owing to tlie ex
cessive costs of tib importation
The fair Itself will attract tens of|
thousands to the coast and will de
monstrate that a land which is vet
held as being in a more or less "wild
and wool'" stage is in reality com
parable with the more effete FEast in '
e ery way and is in addition one of tFie
t 'test spots in all the world in which
dwell. From the knowledge thus
i'ssiminated it can confidently tie ex
ited that the population of the Pu
rtc Stales will increase In leaps and
urids. and the resultant development
n t lie wonderful resources will speedily1
make tlie Pacific Slope oue of the
."•alth centers of tlie I’nited States.
it is to be regretted that the opening
■t the exposition should have come at
tticli time as the world is laboring tin
ier tlie strain of tite great war. but
here is small reason to doubt that the
jopressiun thus created will have an
appreciable effect on the exposition.
The majority of the nations engaged in
the great conflict are continuing their
interest .mil with small exceptions,
those who would have made the jour-1
tp\v to the coast under normal condi
tions will still proceed regardless
of tlie disturbed times NV>t only does
tlie exposition celebrate tlie opening of
th« Panama canal but it also means
that the resultant development of the
great West will, within a very few
years, amaze the world.

MOTHERING THE BELGIANS.
At polite gatherings in Chicago ill
chief topic of conversation Is the Bel
glan l>a hies Woman asks womat
"Shall you take a Belgian babv ' "Th
answer with a quiet beautiful fre
fluency is. I think I shall". "I have i
friend who is taking two. _I believ'
! would lie better able to stum! the wa
if I did that much to It 'JPf.ic peopl
who suffer most from Itlj^nywav
little Belgian ought to m,ik'd' tine son
Don't you think so "CnilWubtedly it
the last remark lies the secret of muel
of the enthusiasm for the adopting 'wa
orphans’ of Belgium which is uov
spreading over cite Middle West "1
is not alone that the motherly womat
feels a profound compassion for these
bereaved children of a devoted people
but that also she thrills at the though
of rearing a young hero “Her own soi
reared as the privileged citizen of at
over-convenieneed elty.and 'given ad
vantages' till he is netually stultiriec
by them may he but a tepid thougt
dear possession. But the little Belgians
tragic and piteous from their ((isolated
land, marked with red memories of wai
ought to make fine men and women
Some ate to young to understand the
drama of which they have been s.
touching a part. It is true; but it is t<
be remembered that great events and
passions leave their imprint even upon
tile very youthful. Yes, the truth B
women like to tie mothers to the Ot'ac
chi. and if they cannot tic so by the
course of nature, they are averse to
stealing a march on destiny" EX
A WHITE HAIRED
WOMAN
When the German army was ap
preaching- the town of Soissotis in
branch the Mayor handed in his resig
nation and tieat it incontinently It
was left to a woman to step into the
breach Madame Machere*. wife o' i
former senator became the Mayor, m -
M mined a council, anil issued her or
ilers to the polite, fire and ambulance
departments with composure and cour
ige bor a month and a half the town
was in her care Twice the German
army passed through, going to and
passing from the battle of the Maine
lairing this period the troops demand
ed large supplies of hors, fodder final
and eigars for themselves. The
Amounts asked for were preposterous,
ind it was left to the Mnroress to face
the question. This she did so diplo
matically and senslblt that site was
idle to avoid friction. When the Ger
mans withdrew they established them
lelves on the heights outside the city,
ind began ai bombardment which last -
>d for several days. Madame sent the
inhabitants to hide In their cellars and
herself supervised . corps of helpers
who kept the hiding population sup
plied with meat, bread and milk. Dur
ing this time of trial this white haired
woman went about her duty.—EX
