The Capital and Jamestown.

An exposition is to be held next
spring within such easy reach of
Washington that the prospect of
the journey is a distinct pleasure.
The event commemorated is a more
valid justification for an exposition
than any such enterprise has had
in America since the Centennial.
Of hundreds of thousands of visit
ors, surely half, and possibly four
fifths, will pass through Washing
ton. Yet not single body of Wash
ingtOn business men, or a single
Washington citizens association, or
n single group of Washington citi-
zens has taken the slightest prac-
teal notice of the fact.
The reference is, of course, to the
jamestown Exposition. The ma
TONS interest in it is keen. Yet
no part of the nation has so much
right to be interested in it as the
Capital of the civilization which had
its beginning in the little settlement
beside the James. Further, no
other city in the nation, with the
exception of Norfolk alone, can hope
to profit so much by means of this
exposition.
What ought to have been done
long ago, what ought to be done
now and done hard, by the several
associations of Washington citizens.
is to see tnat the advertising of
the exposition exp. Jits the ease
with which -isitols To jamestown
can include me Capital in their
journey and that every help is
given toward making the exposition
a success There is.not much time
left. The Autographs to be printed
by the railroads, steamship com
panies, and exposition authorities
have already been drawn. The
printing has already been fairly
planned. If Washington is TO have
her proper place in the latter, its
business men must move quickly.
The two bodies which can do most
along the line indicated are the
Board of Trade and the Business
Mems Association. Both have ad-
jOurned for the summer, and Tie
need for action on their part in this
connection is merely added to the
other disadvantages to the city of
having them lay down their work
before Congress has adjourned. But
both can act through their direc-
tors; and it is sincerely to be hoped
that at least that much can be
done.

How England Does 1t.

Probably in no city in the world
certainly not in any of America
could there be a duplicate of the
scene in London one night not long
ago, when a crowd of 500 persons
camped out before the doors of the
;Drury Lane Theater for the pur-
pose of getting seats for the Ellen
Terry jubilee performance of last
Tuesday.
Men, women, and boys waited for
over thirty hours in the line, sleep
less, weary, hungry, just to testify
their love for and appreciation of
the charming actress who had been
"a public idol for more than thirty
years Rich, well-to-do, and poor
united their sacrifices and cast them
all before the altar of a dearly
cherished divinity.
That sort of enduring affection for
a once great stage character is n
trait they have in old England, and
as to. which we Americans must
yield to them. True, crowds have
waited long for seats before thea
ters over here, but only for per-
3ormances of some one in the height
OF fame or power. 1t must be re-
membered that Ellen Terry is old,
as actresses go, and is now very
ineffective for other reasons. But
the British public forgets it all and
crowds to her benefit with the most
beautiful enthusiasm. It proves its
right to be called the most devoted
constituency on earth.
How different things are here!

her beauty or power ALLEVIATE from

A TOWn-City Government.

The people of Newport voted the
other day TO furnish the country
an interesting object-Iesson in the
handling of a city's affairs when
they accepted new charter which
carries the place part way back to
the style of town government.
Under the new instrument the
people viii elect a representative
council composed of 195 men, and
all powers are to be vested in this
council. There viii also be a mayor
and board of five aldermen elected
annually on a general ticket. The
aldermen will receive a salary and
are the directors of the municipa,
corporation.
Naturally the large council sug-
gests the whole people themselves,
who used to and till do gather in
the various town houses on "town
meetin' day" JIst how the mayor
and his coterie of aldermen-direc-
tors will hitch up with the other
body remains to be seen. 1t strikes
rs, however, that Instead of simpli-
flying city government the scheme
may muddle it still more.
However, the people OF Washing
ton are willing to be convinced to
the contrary, and if the Newport
plan shall succeed, we will take
especial pains TO recommend it to
other cities We know of whose
municipal cCE aroI is far worse than
that of the Rhode Island watering
place.

Mr.. RockefelIer'S Impressions.

The most thrifty country in the
world, seen through the eyes of the
most thrifty man that ever lived,
is France studied by John d. Rookie
feller. The richest man cannot suf-
fciently express his admiration of
the industry and saving capacity of
the French masses.
France is the worlds finest ex-
qualification OF the truth that when
the people are given ownership in
the means of production, produc-
ton will increase. We have read
much academic discourse on the
great revolution of economics, pos
sibly of force, which the socialists
promise when the people take pos
session of the means of production,
and divide up" People do not
realize that that very plan has been
carried out in France.
Before the revolution the church
and the nobility owned France. The
revolution was a protest against
this ownership. The people took
the land, then the greater part of
the wealth, and divided it. What
IS the result?
In little over century it has
developed from the poorest TO one
of the richest of the great nations.
It's resources seem TO be ever ex-
panding. 1t always has the money.
1t furnished the blood and bone
and treasure on which Napoleon
built his imperial throne; 1t fought
all Europe for two decades, and at
Waterloo it was still able to back
its soldier emperor with an army
that deserved to win. 1t has grown
richer with every decade. 1t has
developed an intensive wealth-pro-
.ducing system, as compared to the
'extensive system Of Britain. 1t paid
for its disastrous defeat by Ger
many, it lost a billion in the Pan
anna project, it has invested billion
upon billion in the stocks of Rus
sia for the poor return of that en-
pire's alliance; but all the time it
is richer and richer.
The common explanation is that
France is thrifty. That IS true; but
it is not the bottom of the matter.
France is productive and saving be-
cause France ia a nation of pro-
prietOrs. More than half it's peo-
pie are farmers; three-fourths own
land. In France the individual still
preserves his economic opportuni-
ties and independence. France has
yielded less than any other country
to the tendency to consolidation
and concentration.
The French peasant stands for
popular ownership of the instru-
mentalities of production; Rookie
feller is the greatest exemplar of
corporate control of these instru-
mentalities. After all that has been
Fheard about the superiority of the
trust system, we have the founder
of that system taking off his hat
TO the peasant who represents diff
fusion of ownership, opportunity,
and initiative. It will be a wonder
If the socialists fail to make much
of this phenomenon.

Or. Bait Of the department. OF modern
languages in this college addressed
the students and friends Of the college
last Monday during the convocation
hour when he took for his subject
THE Library Movement" He brought
into sharp contrast the methods pre-.
Vailing in the libraries OF this country
and Europe, pointing out the awkward
cataloging systems in vogue in Eng
land and Germany in particular and
the difficulty with which one meets in
getting books. One of his personal ex-
periences brings out this difficulty
most Interestingly. A person is
obliged to file an application for a
book a day in advance and to: call for
1t the@next day when he may or may
not be successful in getting the book
OF his choice. On one occasion, after
having been unsuccessful in this way
for several days he left a list Of
twelve books and to his great amaze
ment found all of them awaiting him
the next day and to his greater amaze
ment found himself obliged to take
all of the books away with him, Such
is Teutonic system.
