The vast expanse of country west of Mississippi was contiguous territory and a of the basin, one-half of which was already under the rule of the young repub- Jie. It was uninhabited except by some roving tribes of Indians. No civilized or semi-civilized people had to be conqnered or assimilated. It was simply fertile territory waiting for settlers, and the States which were yet to be carved out of it were to be peopled and governed by the descendants of those who had set up a republic east of the Mississippi. The Louisiana purchase did not involve the problem of govern. ing people of other races and at long range. It simply provided for a safe and natural expansion of a rapidiy-increasing population into con. tiguous territory which did not require to be defended from foreign enemies or conquered before it conld be occupied. That this was a na tural and healthy form of expansion the rapid settlement and the grow- ing prosperity of the country acquired by Jefferson is now abundantly proved. The people of St. Louis, the leading metropolis of the coun try west of the Mississippi, are clearly justified in celebrating the cen- tennial of the purchase of the territory in which it is located, and every intelligent American will be glad the celebration is to be held because it will serve to call public attention, as nothing else ean, to the differ ence between the right and wrong kinds of expansion. part A A SH HAI 1 5 SAAS AAI JB Everybédy was wanting snow.| Two sales will be found in the Re- Thursday night it came —six or eight Porter sale register for the first time: inches of it—and good sleighing fol.
