The sincC*e and helpful interest of th« federal government, the unanimous cCV operation of the states and territories anC possessions of the United States, the participation of almost every country on tha earth, is evidence of the wisdom and thoroughness of the work of exploitation and establishes unquestionably the universal character of the exposition. The magnificent structures whose graceful lines and imposing fronts have had no peer In architecture or design, the entrancing picture that holds your admiring gaze on yonder lagoon and cascades, the delightful vistas that meet you at every turn, the Illimitable adaptation of the beauties of nature to the achievement of art, clearly show the skill and judgment that have been exercised in preparing receptacles for the products of the world.

If so this universal exposition Is more than an exhibition of products or even of processes; it is more than a congregating of the grades of civilization ns represented by all races, from the primitive to the cultured; It is even more than a symposium of the thought of the thrones, of the student and thfe moralist. It is all of these combined, and the tout ensemble forms a distinct entity whose impress on the present and Influence on the future nre deep and lasting. It will have a place In history more conspicuous than its projectors ever conceived. For more than a generation to come It will be a marker in the accomplishments and progress of mnn.

Mo A great thinker has said, "The sentiment from which it springs determines the dignity of any deed." This universal exposition was conceived in a sense of obligation on the part of the people of the Louisiana purchase to give expression to their gratitude for the innumerable blessings that have flowed from a century of membership In the American Union, to manifest their appreciation of the manifold benefits of living in a land whose climate and soil and resources are unsurpassed and of having their lots cast In an age when liberty and enlightenment are established on foundations broad and deep and are the heritage of all who worthily strive. To rise to the full measure of such a sentiment required an undertaking of comprehensive proportions and the participation of all races and of every clime. And now, gentlemen, In closing the few remarks I have to make I should be unjust did I not testify to the skill and tact and limitless energy of the men of tha city of St. Louis, with President Francis at tljeir head, to whom we owe this blazing picture of the world's progress down to 1904.
