sueoess-The Time IL short-whai
Leading Men Say Of the Importance OF
the Enterprise.
The move made by Senator Mason
with reference TO the participation OF
the United States in the Paris exposi-
tion being quickly followed by special
message from the president, there can
be little doubt OF early and favorable
action Certainly. there is now no time
10 be lost, and Senator Mason seems
fully alive 20 this fact.
Agar and a half ago the French gov.
eminent issued formal invitations 10 the
various governments 10 participate in
the universal exposition of 1900. Many
Of them have already accepted these in.
vitations and made ample appropria-
tions for representation, Germany alone
having recently appropriated 5, 600. 600
marks-sl, ESQ. 900. Under the direc-
tion of NJ. Picard, minister du COM
merce and commissioner general, the
exposition Is rapidly assuming definite
plan and active growth
Perhaps no one in America has watch
ed the development of this great initial
event Of the twentieth century with
greater interest than ID. H. Burnham,
director Of works Of the Columbian ex-
position. II was thought by many that
the acme Of architectural display had
been reached IN the Worlds fair of Chi. |
cago. But Mr.. Burnham has said that
the plans Of the coming Paris exposition |
are marvellous and almost beyond COM
prehension.
While IL IS a well known fact that
from an ethical and commercial stand
point the representations of this country
In previous European expositions have
been insufficient and trivial, nothing
should appeal to the public spirited men
and Legislators of the great west and
south more than the wonderful oppor-
tunity which will be offered them at
this exposition of displaying to the
world which will assemble there the
rich and inexhaustible resources of their
nndeyeloped states-states which NAV
sustain from their own bosoms many,
many millions of people. Few great en-
ferprises requiring capital are fioated in
his country without the assistance of
money from Europe. The new south
needs great treasure TO develop her nat
lral resources. Here is her chance.
The people of America generally
would hail with the greatest of satisfac-
ION the knowledge that an adequate
howing was TO be- made of our growth
