Mississippi in search of a better
land'is bigger sucker than the
victim of a gold brick or confidence
game. No place, except the abode of
the angels is absolutely free from
drawbacks, but Mississippi has less of
them than any other section under the
shining sun. This is amply demon
strated by the return of 80 per cent.
of all who ever leave the state.

better than to hear Mr.. Carnegie's
greeting on the day of ceremony, a
greeting from his own lips and a bell

betterment in which the world-famed
ironmaster has set such conspicuous
example
Westinghouse viii hope that Mr.
Carnegie modestv win not deprive
them of the unique pleasure of a
speech on the occasion in question:
a fitting sermon on the lesson of the
hour and advice that will help point
the way To the better future.
Washington would welcome such an
opportunity as chance to convince
the donor that the magnificent gift
is appreciated.

Of the city for several days, there VIII
be ample time TO give him an impress

reputation of the Capital, there need
be no doubt.
The general programme, very prop
erly- VIII be prepared by the Presi-
denUa and the German Ambassador
and everybody viii defer to rheir
wishes in the matter Of festivities for
the visiting prince. 1t would be in ex-
cellent taste, however, TO show Wash
ington's guest the attractions Of the
city. and this function viii naturally
fan largely within the province OF the
Commissioner.
Washington is something 10 be
proud of. even when a prince Is here.
1t is the type of American municipal
beauty. 1t is significant OF national
progress along the lines OF the high
est artistic and social development.
And we know that its people and its
oficialsTiII do their share To- convince
Prince Henry of Prussia that he is
welcome.

Posterity will. so far as can be
