the
great central
government of the United States will serve toecall attention to
difference between the Louisiana purchase and the acquisition of
Philippines, for instance. 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.
