actually have been enforced. -
This will be news indeed to the

Hon. James 4. Tawney, of
Minnesota, chairman of the House
Committee on Industrial Arts and
ExpOsitions, is an enthusiast on
the Worlds Fair at st. Louis. In
talking to me in the lobby of the
Riggs House the other day con
cerning the fair he said 4:
The Exposition was authorized
for the purpose of educating our
people in the progress and advance
ment of the world i'm all of It's
various industries, commerce,
science and educational branches.
In word, therefore, the purpose
of this Exposition is commemora-
tion and education. The first has
been grandly accomplished. The
participation by the States of the
Union and by foreign nations is
greater than at any other previou,
exposition held anywhere in the
world. The buildings in design
and architectural beauty, as wei
as in size, excel the buildings al
the Columbian Exposition, which
means that they are superior tC
any exposition palaces the worlC
has yet seen. In area the Louis
lana Purchase Exposition is I0C
per cent. greater than that of the
greatest exposition previously
held, namely the Columbian Expo
sition held at Chicago. The amount
of money expended by the States
the nations, and by individual ex
lhibitors exceeds $50, 100000 ; tel
more foreign nations are exhibit
ing at st. Louis today than ex
hibited at Chicago, and nine NOR,
States have erected large and beau
tiful State buildings and are max
ing magnificent State exhibits thar
participated at the Columbian Ex
position. In grandeur of concep
ton and execution, the amount O
money expended and the extent O
the worlds participation nothing
of the kind compares with the EX
position which the people of tn
United States can now see at 81
Louis at a comparatively sma'
expense.
This Exposition is conceded +
be the greatest educational institu
tion it has ever been the OppOr
tunity of man to behold. Havin
been authorized by the FEEDERS
Government and the Governmer
itself having expended little owe
81, 200, 900 in making it of inter
est, it will not only be to the ms
terial advancement of people (
: witness and study it, but it is the
patriotic duty to contribute i
2 every way possible to its success,
