We Have Cut Down Our Profit
and Have Given It to You!
The editor of Hie Herald, along
with some two hundred other Texas
editors, their wives and daughters,
were guests of the State Fair of Texas
Monday.
After the usual formalities of ad-
dresses of welcome by the president
of the Fair Association, the mayor of
Dallas, and W. M. Florer on behalf of
the local press, the editors were serv-
ed a magnificent luncheon at restau-
rant hall, and then were bidden to
have a good time, for the doors of all
institutions were open to them, and
if they did not see the fair it was their
own fault.
The 101 Ranch shows and the boy
fiviator, Art Smith, were the principal
attractions to most of the quill driv-
ers, although many were seen to prom-
enade through the automobile show
moms, not that they expected to own
a car, for few of them ever accumu-
late enough of the ‘‘jits’’ to afford such

a luxury,
not covetous, but they appreciate per-
fect machinery and pretty cars, and
these were on display in abundance.
There will be no horse races at the
fair this year, but inside the race
track are hundreds of little brown
tents sheltering a regiment of Uncle
Sam’s men, and from the grand stand
will be seen daily the maneuvers of
the infantry.
The rains of Sunday made a visit to
the stock exhibits very difficult and
but few of the editors got a view of
the hundreds of fine cattle, horses and
hogs shown in this department. One
of the principle features in the stock
department is the quarantine station
that is established there by the federal
and state authorities.
The fair in its entirely is one of the
best ever staged by the management,
and as was said, it is truly of an edu-
cational nature. Especially is this
true as pertains to the manufactured
articles of the state. There is hardly
an artcle manufactured in the state
but has a specimen at the Fair. And
it was among the manufactured indus-
tries that the Texas editors spent
mo6t of their time. It is our opinion
tfcat if there is one class of citizens
more loyal to home products than any
other, it is the newspaper fraternity.
They preach it from one year's end to
another, and being a consistent bunch,
they put in practice their preachment.
We cannot undertake to tell the
readers of the Herald of the numerous
exhibits on the grounds and in the ex-
hibition buildings. In the first place,
we did not have time to see them,
and in the second place, it would con-
sume all our space were we to at-
tempt to speak of the thousands ot
things to be seen. The Texas State
Fair is a great institution of and for
Texas and worthy of the support of
all Texans.
The daily flights of Art Smith, avia-
tor, is worth going miles to see. His
easy assent, going higher and higher,
beyond the clouds,
