FRIDAY EVENING. APRIL 20 1907.

THE OPENING Of the jamestown Ex-
position today will be an epoch in the
already thrilling aud interesting history
Of the United States. Presideni Roosevelt
and Hon. Harry st. George Tucker in
their addresses gave rapid glances at The
remarkable growth of mighty and proc
perous nation from little band which
arrived at jamestown Island three hue
drel years ago. The lO5 souls which ae-
companied Capt. Newport on his ships,
the Susan Constant, Good Speed and
Discovery, have multiplied into people
of Sc. 900, 900 soulp, occupying territory
from ocean to ocean, possessing large
oversee dominions and dominating an
entire hemisphere. There is barely
sueb an instance in history. The an
uals OF the new world from the time the
little flock disembarked are among
the most interesting Of all the ar
chives since the appearance Of man
upon the earth, and in perusing them
a solid satisfaction settles over the reader
from the fact that he is reading history,
not fables, which are scattered through
the early history of ancient countries,
III 80. oo,.a ,,cJaRn nation The
growth of the United States has been
phenomenal, and the tide is still tend
ing Epward, At the beginning OF The
twentieth century il may be fairly said
that the world is interested in the United
States chiefly because of the constructive
work, political and social, that the cOnn-
try has done in the past 300 years. Freed
from the burden of traditions that weigh
ed down the peoples Of the old world, the
United States has been able to conceive
and put in practice principles Of liberty
that conduce to the dignity and happiness
of mankind Individual initiative has
been given such opportunity as it never
before enjoyed, with the result that vast
natural resources have been rapidly de-
veloped and wealth has been widely
diaused. In celebrating at the James
town Exposition the enterprise, the grit
and success of the frat Virginians, the
real founders of the republic, the cere-
monies will be grsced by the presence
aud participation of diplomatic repre-
sentaliyes of the leading nations OF
the world. They recognize the great
achievements of our forefathers in the
three centuries that have elapsed since
Auglo-Saxo1 civilization was established
10 the Old Dominion, and they unite
in congratulations upon the success thai
has followed us.

 cernA That Make and Deal in Food Products.

Washington, April 16.--"If these out rageous misrepresentations do not cease. the department will publish a list bearing the names of manufac- turers who are indulging in this cam paisn of deception
 This remark was uttered by Secre- tary Wilson of the Department of Ag- ricuiture. in an authorized statement today and was brought forth by the fact that there had come to his knowl- edge information that a number of manufacturers of foods and drugs were freely advertising that the United states Government was guaranteeing their products The Secretary said that the serial number and guarantee required by the pure food and drug act to be placed on food and drug products were being used by these manufacturers for this purpose.
 The serial number said Secretary Wilson, "is assigned to fix the respon- sibility where 1t belongs-upon the manufacturers-and to protect the in- nocent dealers, who have a right, under the law to rely upon his guarantee It is the guarantee of the manufac- turer of the Government"
 The Secretary declared that every effort will be made by the Depart ment to put stop to these statements.
 T will do a little advertising my self," he said. 'in behalf of the peo- pie. I am growing tired of seeing these untruthful statements on the ad- vertising pages of the magazines, the walls of the New York subway and the advertising space of the street cars of the principal cities. Manufacturers who twill deceive the public about the guaranty will lie about the quality of their product"
 He added that the law was to be administered fairly and that no honest manufacturer need fear that the De- partment will take snap judgment" on him or harrass him in any way,

terest in Bij0u.
 Naham J Greil has purchased a one-s.xth interest In the Bijou Thea tre on Bibb street and four-foot al- ley adjoining the theatr. The pur- chase price, according to ..,e deed filed yesterday in the probate office, is S5,550.
 The Bijou Theatre, before its rental by Jake Wells. was known for years as McDonald's opera house. It was owned by the late Professor George F. Mcdonald, who for a long time con- ducted the play house personally. When he died about two years ago. he left the theatre as a part of his es- tate, to which there were several heirs. The one-sixth interest and the alley was sold to MT. Greil by Evan R. Mcdonald and Hattie D.. Mcdonald.
 The opera house contains three sto- ries and occupies a lot fifty-one by 145 feet. Mir. Greil said that he bought the property purely as an in- vestment.
