"Jackson's monument" is the popular
name for this city that is on the mar
ket now. Jackson was a councilman
imbued with a progressiveness rare in
his days here. Three and twenty
years ago it was built, and the fogies
of the time prophesied all sorts of mu-
nicipal bankruptcy when Jackson car
ried his point Now the idea of the
moment is a new city building worthy
OF a big town that is growing bigger

the council is filled with the spirit of
living up to the new opportunities at
hand. That is why there is a city
hall for sale here. OF course, there
are some of the older generation who
are fearful of leading out" but the
number of first class funerals is in
creasing satisfactorily. The" city has
been infected with the zeitgeist as
evident in the rising towns of north
western Indiana, and its evidence Is as
interesting to contemplate as it is novel
to witness.

A Good Situation.

There is every indication that
conditions at Charleston at the pres
emit session Of the legislature are bet
ter than ever before. After the
skirmish for the organization all
seem to have become possessed of
the idea that there was great deal
of work to do and that many good
things are to be accomplished.
The situation Is highly crafty
ing and IT is the belief of those who
have been on the ground that the
legislature this year will be prac-
tically free from lobbyists and that
no interest will be given considera-
ton above another. except that the
interests OF all of the people of the
State as a whole will be given the
preference and will in fact dominate
the legislature.
This is a situation most pleasing.
1t is significant of the fact that the
legislature of West Virginia Is to be-
come body as whole, to which all
may point with pride.

A Striking Feature.

A striking feature Of the James
town Exposition is the collective ex-
hibits by cities, comprising and COM
bIning their manufactures and
municipal attractions.
The plan is meeting with general
approval. a number of the larger
cities having secured large areas for
display, and many smaller places
are falling into line. The economy
and simplicity of the plan appeals to
every community that has attrac-
lions to offer to settlers and desir-
able locations for manufacturing
plants. 1t appeals to local pride
and to those manufacturers who de-
sire to extend their business or the
territory, they desire to cover.
Different trade organizations are
also contemplating selective exhibits
Of the highest productions of their
members, the plan being similar to
that whereby pictures of artists are
selected by committees for exhibit in
the salons of Paris. BY this means
only the best are shown.
The President and United States
Commissioners are especially anx-
ious to have the highest and best
products of our factories shown to
the thousands of foreigners who are
coming to the Exposition which will
include the greatest naval and mill
tary display the world, has ever
seen.
