NA~ VI lUc lOuI nun-
iredth anniversary Of the discovery
81 America, declares that the great
event shall 10 celebrated by ian ex-
hibition Of the progress Of civilization
in the New World"
Scarcely could Columbus have
thought what vast results, his dis.
,orery would lead to; nor how, west
II the little island where be landed
'here lay y territory, that would some
day develop into the magnificent
nation, tbut this year like u magnet
seems to he attracting toward itself
the best and the greatest Of all other
nations.
Although Columbus himself mover
placed his foot upon American soil,
TO him must and does go the credit Of
tue discovery OF the continent.
The American people realize this
as to-day our country is ~ we'll
known by the name OF Columbia az
oi America.
Congres presented to the Worlds
Fair tHo million live hundred thous
and half dollars bearing Columbus
likeness, and during the exhibition
year all tho stamps printed commemo-
rate some event Of his career.
10 most people Of Europe, America
hus been IN unknown land. Their
ideas OF us are us IA ours are
OF The Mongolians. They have never
renlized what GLORIOUS country We
possess.
According TO their idehs American
civilization is still in IL crude state.
Our country men who have visited
Europe have made themselves ride
ulous ny toadying 10 u nobility,
aping their why's and trying TO mako
people forget that they were Ameri-
cans.
Foreigners will see that Anerica
possesses n class Of people who ON the
average are nore intelligent, better
educated. better fed and better raised
than those Of any other nation.
Tn e sight Ut this collection will
make them stare in wonderment.
The labor Saving machinery will
come 10 most OF Them like a revelation.
Hero they will not see women work
ing like mon in the hay fields, or
TAX .ng the places Of beasts OF burden,
but they will tinl that the Ameri-
cans greatest possession, that which
he values above all else, respects
above all things ia woman. Mrs.
Potter Palmer sH;d IN one Of her
addresses, "Columbus discovered
America but tho Horld's Fair dis.
covered women"
The nations Of Europe will at last
zee with their " eyes tho might
md grandeur Of our land. Great
Britain our Mother Country will have
10 acknowledge that sic but holds
second runk among tho Anglo Saxon
race.
Perhaps u Of the most imposing
and impressive sights was tho Naval
review, there were the finest war
vessels OF the mighty nations gath.
erred together, not for Wal or carnage
but on n mission Of peace aud good
will.
At tho parade in tho city Of New
York, Frenchmen walked behind
Germans, Russians behind English
men.
What a lesson it will teach to
nations Of the world 10 see Theses nrcb
foes, walking almost side by side on
the streets OF New York under
command of nm American Admiral.
It. showed that il over universal
peace ID obtuined. and il ever wars
cease, it will DO through the benign
influence UI Columbia.
People could not believe that tho
Fair buildings would DO completed in
timo To open the first OF May. What
could they know Of the push, energy
and vim OF tho Americans. Chicago
outdid herself. Buildings arose as il
by magic.
II seemed rs il the mythical Alaj.
din and his wonderful lamp Ind
reached Chicago, and built u new
city over night.
Even tho American people gaze
with admiration ut the results nc.
