Washington, Jan. 4.-Under leave to print.
Representative Lacey of Iowa has inserted
in the Congressional Record an interesting
speech on the Louisiana Purchase and its
coming celebration at st. Louis. Mr.. Lacey
says. in part:
'"The most important event in its conse-
ql,ences after independence year was that
which occurred in 1903, when the Territory
Of Louisiana was ceded to our Republic. We
are about to celebrate that great epoch in
a most substantial way by an unrivaled ex-
hibition upon the banks of the Father OF
Waters, at the city of st. Louis
"There Is no part Of our land SO rich In
its future possibilities that region to
which invite your attention.
For many years have carefully studied
the resources Of our public domain. In a
long journey through the mountains of Ari-
zona and New Mexico, a few years ago, l
had a college-graduate cowboy for driver.
He aked me if had seen much of the West,
and 1 told him l knew it from Alpha to
Omega.
He quietly suggested that he knew it
better still-that he knew all about 1t from
Alfalfa to Omaha.
"The subject Of the purchase of 1903 covers
wide range of time, latitude and longitude.
We are interested in the Louisiana Purchase
because of its influences upon our history
and Its great possibilities in the future. y
In discussing this subject we cannot be
otherwise than forcibly impressed with the
progress Of the world. Only . hundred
