THE acquisition of the terri
tory is a credit to the broad
and far-sighted craftsmanship
of the great statesman to whom
it was Immediately due, and
above all to the aggressive and
masterfui character Of the hardy
pioneer folk to whose restless
energy these statesmen gave
expression and direction, whom
they followed rather than led.
The history of the land COM

Purchase is an epitome of the

der the terms of the appropriation

More than a year ago the President
Of the Exposition Company, David r.
Francis, appeared before the Commit
tee on Appropriations of the House
Of Representatives at Washington and
called upon Senators with reference
to a settlement of the financial rela.
lions between the government and the
Exposition Company. He submitted
the proposition of the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition Company that the
interest of the government in any sur.
plus that might remain be devoted to
the erection of a monument to
Thomas Jefferson. The proposition
was well received. Before adjourn.
ment the Goth Congress passed the
following in the Sundry Civil act:
Section 5. The Louisiana Purchase

gress as set forth in the section
quoted, the Board Of Public Improve

lated that as a part of the plan of
