THE DAILY CAPITAL JcURNAL
A STATES EXPOSITION.

There is movement on foot in Washington, " y.
for the establishment Of permanent states exposition
at the national capital.
While this may seem matter preemnenty OF inter-
est to residents Of Washington because of its advertising
value it is of no little interest to the states themselves
and probably could best be carried out by cooperative
action between the national and the states
It is impossible for everybody to go everywhere but
all good Americans should visit Washington and millions
of them do once in their lives at least.
states exposition which enabled the traveller from
one state to see what going in the others would be
well worth while both for its educational value and as an
advertising medium for the various states
Then too, such an exhibit would make possible for
the visitor from abroad who almost always visits New
York and Washington to get fair idea OF the wonder
beauty and industries Of the Middle and Far West which
he seldom comprehends.

THE REAL BROADWAY.

New York City has Broadway Association which
is trying to spread information about the real Broad
way" 1t is difficult matter, because people in New
York and elsewhere persist in accepting the stage
sion Of Broadway which represents that famous thor
oughfare consisting solely of theatres restaurants and
luminations
The fact u.s. as this association explains, that the
amusement section but small and insignificant part Of
Broadway 1t begins down in Old Amsterdam in little
section rich in historical interest," with the memories Of
many and changes and continues to another historic
region in the northern end of Manhattan and between
these notable extremtes great skyscrapers beaut
full churches, and cathedrals university buildings and
other attractions any of which might suffice to make
the reputation of thoroughfare in any great city And
yet millions of people continue to think that the theatre
district is all of Broadway.
Anyone who has studied New York City with an
open mind, either on the spot or with map at home
knows that the Broadway Association is right about it.
And New York is not the only city, is Broadway the
only thoroughfare that is msrepresented in this fashion
Almost every city has streets and sections that are mis-
judged because people of taste and understanding do not
take the trouble to point out and emphasize real values
Cheap attractions nse and glare and noise only too
Often in the small town in the metropolis pointed to
with pride by citizens who have much better things be
proud of.

man with pair of leather goggles that
the glaring headlights and s.so the
specdcr is safe in Salem, regardless Of
the wishes of its many citizens to have
the violators arrested, and made to obey

The non-fata accidents have lessened in about the
