WALSH TALKS OF HIS BILL.
Speaking of the bill introduced in the
Senate by him today. 10 esta bllsh per

Senator Patrick Walsh said This bill
is intended 10 supply a need, and 10 give
the people OF the country an opportunity
OF examining classified exhibits Of the
products and resources Of the various
states. Washington IS rapidly becoming
a central point. in which all the states
are interested.
''As a contribution from each common
wealth would be necessary for the estab-

THE PROPER LOCATION.
This is undoubtedly the place for such
a-building. There is, indeed, no other place
Tor it. The exposition should be housed
in q great building, an imposing struc-
