The Ruins of Old Jamestown.

The projected jamestown Expo
sition is local to Washington. The
grounds are within easy reach of
the Capital. Those in charge are
business men and professional men
well known here. The event it is
designed to commemorative first
English settlement on tins continent
-typifies above every other thing
the republican government which is
now administered from Washington.
Our people will be especially in
terested TO know, then, that the
preparations for the exposition have
progressed far. The site-by nature
and location one of the best ever
offered for such a use--has been
severed and drained, crossed by
many beautiful drives, adorned with
singular success by the use of
shrubs and vines native to the tide
water, such as wild roses, beautiful
laurels and the like. Instead of at
tempting to rival the enormous in
dustrial exhibitions at ST. Louis or
Chicago, the directors have wisely
decided to emphasize the historical
aspects of the tercentenary. Colon
ial husbandry, colonial industries,
colonial homes are to be repro
duced and contrasted with modern
methods. Hampton Roads is to be
utilized for a naval display repre-
senting the present sea-strength of
all the great nasions.
In the light OF TINS progress it is
a great disappointment TO note that
jamestown itself has been prac-
tically left out of the plans. Of
course the island, more than thirty
miles up the river, was less attrac-
tive as a site for an exposition than
the bay. But the earliest settle
ment is the key TO the whole under
taking The enterprise has no other
occasion.
What ought to be done in such a
connection is this: Either the Of
ficials of the exposition or the ma
tional government should acquire,
in the name of the people of the
United States, title in perpetuity to
the 1,600 acres on which John Smith
and his fellows made their home.
That ground-the James has oblig-
ingly segregated it into island
should then be developed. 1t offers
almost as great reward to exca-
vatOrs as ancient Pompeii. On it
are the foundations of the first
school house in America, the first
building TO be called a capitol, the
first meeting place of the first legis-
lative assembly elected by popular
vote in the world, the place of the
first American trial by jury, the
site of the first insane asylum in
America, the, homes of most of the
first English settlers, numerous
tombs, and the familiar ruins of the
old tower which looked on at the
wedding of John Rolfe. English gem
tleman, and Pocahontas, the first
American belle.
If these ruins were all uncovered
and marked, if the island were con-
verted into the beautiful park which
might be made of it so easily, if ac-
cess to it were made one of the fea-
lures of the exposition, and if the
flag of the nation which, with all
its institutions, followed after that
first settlement floated over the
ruins of old jamestown by author
ity of the national government-the
proposed exposition would focus the
interest of the patriotic citizens of
the whole country. 1t would then
emphasize a place important to the
whole world. AS it is, T. emphasizes
only an event.
