EXPOSITION
Subject Of Address by Justice
John 7. Blodgett.
BEFORE HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Head Of TeT.CentsnnIal Commission Dis.
cussss Plans for Representation Of
This State At Exposition Next Year
BEFORE HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Judge John T. Biodgett. chairman OF
the jamestown tercentennial commission
addressed the Rhode Island Historical So
clety last night on the coming exposition
He said In part:
ION the 18th OF May. 1897, three hundred
years will have elapsed since there was
established at Jamestown. Va, the first
permanent settlement of English speaking
people on this continent.
The record of the later founding OF
Rhode Island. Is. however. not devoid OF
the legend or of its song which imper-
fectly tells OF the uncertain and shadowy
past OF an earlier day. The very name
OF the state transports the mind 10 a far
distant island in the southern sea. whose
remote past is lost In the age o. fables.
I'VE read on our own ancient records
that AT the general court OF election held
month, 1914. 1t Is ordered that the island
commonly --nown as Aquethneck shall be
from henceforth called the Isle OF Rhodes
or Rhode Island"
HISTORICAL STANDPOINT.
In speaking OF what has been done to-
wards making ne jamestown exposition
a success. Judge Blodgett called attention
10 the ct that PRESIDENT Roosevelt is
deeply interested in the matter and gave
1t some space in his last message to con-
gress.
That message. the speaker said. had
stated that already l6 states had signified
the intention OF participating In the ex-
hibition, either by making appropriations
or otherwise. Some OF the states only
have biennial sessions OF their legisla-
lures. and this fact accounted for the lack
OF action on some of the states which have
not yet sign.ned their intention Of taking
part, but doubtless will
In speaking OF Rhode Island from a his
torical standpoint. Judge Blodgett said:
There are few states where history
carries them so far back in the annals
Rhode Island. Rhode Island was a coll
ony longer before the declaration OF in
dependence lnan the two which have since
elapsed
The history OF Rhode Island Is unique
In several particulars. 1t was founded
on an original social contrast. The origin
OF the government has been a matter
which has provoked much discussion.
Here In Rhode Island the people came
together and voluntarily agreed to com
|. btne in civil matters.
Here for the first time was founded n
state on the basis OF absolute independ-
ence OF the church and state. II was here
that the possibility OF an absolute separ-
alton OF tho church and state was first
marked. In addition To soul liberty the
King Charles charter granted powers not
granted other states AT the time OF its
abrogation IL was the Oldest constitution
al charter in the world.

GOVERNMENT rs UNIQUE.


The government is unique in that that
instrument granted in 1s2S remained in
force until 1s42 At the revolutionary out
break the other states adopted constitu-
ttons, but Rhode Island did not.
Under THAT charter Rhode Island
achieved a very honorable history and
carried on manyNwars. The powers which
have come down 10 a later time have dis
tinguished this state Rhode Island was
the first to renounce it's allegiance OF the
crown at the outbreak OF the revolution
She also offered the first armed resist
ance 10 the naval power OF Great BrS-
ain.
ut was this act which led to the adop-
ton of the house OF burgesses OF Virginia
which led to the establishment OF the first
commission OF inquiry among the colonies
II was the first overt act in Nara gan
sett bay, which set the matters In motion
which resulted in the foundation OF our
union"
The speaker called attention 10 the rea-
sons why rhis state should be properly
represented at the exposition 1T is OBJ
vious." he said. that this state can be
best represented by an exhibit which Is
chiefly historical in character and which
shall present in concrete form tho sa-
hent events showing the growth OF the
colony and of the state from that day OF
small things when Roger Williams In
1886. with Ave companions made the first
settlement in Providence Plantations until
the present ume. when the population OF
the state is almost $4,000 people.
TO EXHIBIT DOCUMENTS.
THE contribution OF Rhode Island to
such an occasion should not be restricted
to material things alone. The settlement
Of Providence came but little later than
that Of jamestown.
The commission has felt that IL was
best TO exploit the historical prominence
OF Rhode Island and in our archives at the
the state house are many valuable docu-
ments which we have thought advlsa be
TO exhibit. either tho originals or photo
graphic or other fac-similes. II is also
our purpose to exhibit portraits OF Rhode
Islands distinguished sons.
IT have thus in a general way narrated
some of the things we hope 10 accom-
plish and why we wish to accomplish
them"
He also stated that not only were
number OF the most powerful nations OF
Europe 10 make strong naval exhibitions.
but that japan would also have her navy
represented, and II was expected that Ad-
mirai Oyama and Baron Komura would
be there. The same nations are also ex-
pected TO make interesting exhibits of
ancient documents. Many interesting old
documents are also expected from the
vatican.
At the end OF the address. which was
heartily applauded. a unanimous vote OF
thanks was rendered Judge Blodgett for
his very interesting address. in illustra-
ton OF which a large map OF tho ex-
position grounds was shown.

Amusement Resort.

Olentangy Park, "the finest
amusement resort in America, sis
located at the north end of the
city of Columbus, the Capital of
Ohio, a portion of the Park being
within the city limits. The Park
has been greatly enlarged since
last season and now comprises over
one hundred acres, extending from
Doddridge st. northwardly dis
of one half mile, on both sides of
the Olentangy river, and eastward
~ to High ST., embracing the
most picturesque and beautiful
tract of land, peculiarly adapte d
for an amusement resort. Noble
forest trees covered the greater
part of it before the Park was
thought of, and these are still re-
tanned. Giant oaks rear their
head proudly in the air, while
great elms spread their long branch
es invitingly. Immense willows
sweep the clear flowing waters of
the river with their long dropping
arms and wild grape vines in riot
GUS profusion, hang low along the
river banks, and in deep ravines,
forming ideal shady bowers.
Through the dense green foliage
along the river CLEANS the white
trunks of the tall sycamore, in
striking contrast to the prevailing
color.
Through the entire length of the
Park, a distance Of half a mile,
the beautiful Olentangy river, from
which the Park derives it's name,
winds it's willowy way, it's water
falling in bright cascade over
the old dam near the southern end
of the Park, The west band of the
river is nearly level and is covered
with natural forest trees, festoon-
ed with long hanging vines, under
meath which agreen carpet of grass
extends to the edge of the river,
while shady walks lead to favorite
hooks and bowers. On the east
bank of the river the bluffs rise
nbruptely to height OF sixty feet,
on the plateau at the top of which
are located the Theater, and other
principle buildings of the Park.
This plateau, however, is diyided
INTO four distinct parts by the
ieep rayines crossed by high
bridges and with winding steps
and walks leading to the beautiful
valley below.
Nature has done much to make
)lentangy Park amost delightful
iummer resort, and those whose

The Pine Tree state.

An intelligent Democrat from Maine
has been in Washington recently and
while here stated in an interview In
the Post that the chances for the Dem
ocrats To carry the Pine Tree State are
fairly good-which is certainly cheerful
news. In fact, his statement was no
surprise, for the city elections In the
spring indicated clearly that the trend
OF public opinion in Maine is away
from the Republican party. 1t is ru-
mored that Hon. Charles II. Littleheld,
the successor to Governor Dingley in
the house. has awakened to the un-
pleasant reality that his congressional
fences are in bad way.
