in Washington who don't need any con-

furtherance by The Stars exposition special

ment and some can't be convinced by any
means at all.
Suppose we all get together, one conced-
ing this; another conceding that. After
all, isn't it Greater Washington we are
working for? What matters a minor differ
ence as to the method, if the end to be at
tanned is the same? We of the special are
doing our best. Let all you folks at home
put your shoulders to the wheel and help,
for you can.

out in any way marring the beauty of
Washington or interfering with it's attrae-
tive features as an admirable place for
the establishment of homes. The oppor-
tunity which has been afforded me In the
last two three days to be with the party
which has been sent out under the auspices
of The Star. to familiarize the people OF
the south with the capacity of Washington
to provide for them suitable trade accom-
modations, has thoroughly convinced me of
the great possibilities which exist in this
direction. I have seen a large volume of
the interest which merchants of the south
have taken in the opportunity which has
been thus afforded them to deal at the
national capital.
1T Is surprising. but nevertheless true,
that these merchants have been wholly I'M
aware of the opportunities which Wash
ington affords them even at the present
time And consequently they have no con-
ception of the opportunities which could be
afforded them by greater activity on the
part of our business men through an, en-
largement of their enterprises and also by
the establishment of other lines of business.
A Patriotic Feeling.
II believe that there is a patriotic feeling
on the part of the people of the south in
favor of Washington. l do not mean to indi
cate by this that merchants will trade in
{oIr ;,,fa
of goods or pay a higher price, than they
would in the other commercial cities of
country. But I do believe that if prices
and quality of goods could be found to be
sentiment to which l have referred would
encourage them to go there.
I'm furtherance of this idea l am re-
minded of an expression which some one
used in olden times. that patriotism was
that higher form of love for which men
die. 1t may be true. 1 do not doubt
that ii is true-in time of war. But
| should rather say-at the present time
al least-that patriotism is that higher
form of patriotism for which men live.
And / cannot feel that the patriotism OF
our people. which after all is but love of
country. is less in time of peace than in
time of war Every man who loves his
country has feeling of admiration for
and desire to beautify, adorn and advance
the general welfare of its capital city, And
L have been thoroughly convinced on this
trip that the people of the south entertain
this view

 The posi al authorities are liberal in the matter of sending newspapers through the mails. Such has been the governments policy. The government only charges genuine and established newspaper one cent per bound on tho papers 1t sends out.
 And yet for the three months of Oc- tober, November and December, The Advertiser paid the government the big total for postage of $l,490,42. The growth of the city of Montgom- cry has been astonishing. What Is to be said of the growth of The Adver- tiser?
