washington Should 10 Represented.

Washington Should be Represented.
The resolution adopted by the Seattle
Chamber Of Commerce, looking toward a
representation Of this state at the Pam
American exposition. should be acted
upon by the legislature with widening
of its scope to include the exposition
which II is proposed to hold in st. Louis
in 1905. BY appointing commissioner to
look after both. and making a moderate
appropriation, Washington may be well
represented at both OF these displays.
While the Pam American exposition is
more limited in its scope. the prepare.
lions for It have been pushed with great
vigor and intelligence. 1t promises to be
the most successful and the most largely
attended exposition held in this country.
with the two notable exceptions Of 1876
and 1893 Buffalo is happily situated for
drawing visitors from all parts of the
country and for securing adequate repre-
sentation Of all its resources and indus
tries. No state viii profit more by a
proper exhibit there than Washington.
We have more than any other to offer
to the intending settler Public curiosity
Is already aroused. public interest already
excited, and good exhibit would bring
thousands OF people and millions OF dol
lars Of capital to our state.
1t Is fortunate that these two EXPOSE
lions come close together In time. so
that preparations for one Will be useful
for the other The celebration OF the
centennial anniversary OF the Louisiana
purchase VIII undoubtedly be magnifi-
cent affair. The proposal to issue bonds
in its aid was approved at the recent
election. The people Of st. Louis and
of the state OF Missouri are thoroughly
in earnest The city has an opportunity
to go on record in comparison with Chi

With the countenance OF the federal gov
eminent which is practically assured the
st. Louis exposition should be a great
success.
At both OF these the state OF Washing
ton should be represented by modest
state building and an exhibit OF her pro-
ducts and Industries as complete as I,
can be made. A large part of this can he
utilized for both occasions with little nd.
ditional expense save transportation. II

Greedy Hotel Proprietors May Force Demo
rats to Convene in Another City.
BY the Associated Press.)

Washington, June 2.-As tie time OF
the convention draws near, Senator Jones.
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, is receiving a number Of Wig
OrCus complaints from the members OF
the National Committee and other lead
ing Democrats throughout the country,
over the action Of the hotel people in
Kansas City in the matter Of rates. Many
of the committeeman who write Chair
man Jones on this subject are urgently
requesting that q meeting OF the com
mittec be called with . view Of recOnsid-
ering its action in deciding to hold the
convention in that city. \ prominent
member Of the committee writes as fol-
lows:
4 engaged rooms for my delegation at
the Coates House at s. per day with 4
parloT for headquarters at $50 per day.
The proprietor of this hotel now writes
that a contract for accommodation means
the 4th. 9Th. 9th and 9TH of July, whether
the convention lasts that long or not. Q [
course, if it lasts longer the amount viii
be pro rata per day increased, or II you
take the accommodations on the third it
will be a five days contract instead of a
four days contract. This is an outrage
upon all pretense at decency, and | will

Chairman Jones says that other mem
bers of the committee are writing him in
the same line, and that certain members
seem very etermined in their efforts to
change the location of the convention from
Kansas City to some other more desira-
BILE and attractive place. No action has
vet been taken in the matter by Chair
man Jones, though he has it under serI-
Gus consideration.
TO INVESTIGATE THE CHARGE.
Kansas City, Mo-, June 2.-The sub
committee Of the National Democratic
committee has announced a meeting in
Kansas City on Monday, next, to con-
slider the question of alleged eXorbltant
hotel rates. j. j. Swofford, chairman OF
the local executive committee on con-
Ytntion arrangements declares that the
charges Of exorbitant rates were erro-
neOuS and cited the fact that rate OF
$1.23 per day, European plan has been
offered by one local hotel for headquar-
ters for the entire Virginia delegation. At
the first class hotels, the average charge,
American plan, asked for the conVen-
ton is five dollars a day, four persons
to 4 room.
