At the Fortlaod fair a momument to the memory of Saeajawea, the Sho shone squaw who accompanied Lewi and Clark on their expedition into the IVific Northwest, has been unveiled. The study, which is in bronze, ia the conception of Mis Alice Cooper, of Den ver, and a creditable piece of work. Re gardlesa of the merits of the example- the erection of this statute to an Indian woman is of unusual interest. Mon uments to women are seldom erected; none, until now, has been em-ted to an aborigine. Saeajawea, of all women, is eminently worthy of this distinction. Untutored, the slave wife of a French voyageur, Charbonnoi, less favored than her white sister, in Saeajawea it is hard to conceive such wholesome sentiment as characterized her every act while the guide of the explorers. Doing a man's work, hampered with a papoose strip ed to ber shoulders, and forced to share the scant affection of her degenerate husband with two wives whom Char bonnois had purchased, that Saeajawea continued in the service of Lewis and Clark, adhering conscientiously to her many and irksome tasks and all uncom plaining invites the most fervored ad miration for this poor slave woman. It ia gratifying in the extreme that this tardy recognition has ensued and it to be hoped that the deeds of Saea jawea will be emblazoned upon the pages el history, to instill those of coming gen erations with the loftiest of ambitions and appreciation of the highest ideals. 0 AMERICAN RECOGNITION. The ceremonies attending the trans fer of John Paul Jones' body to the United States government, following so closely upon the memorial services London and Rome and various other ob servances of the death of John Hay point to the fact that this country has ceased to enjoy the reserved contempt accorded it by the powers in the past Following the close of the Civil war and up to the time of the declaration of war against Spain, the United States was looked upon as being woefully lacking in both importance and strength; the country's ability to mobilize a volunteer army of as great a size as that main tained during the rebellion was doubt ed and foreign countries apparently de lighted in ridiculing our modest navy advancing criticisms that indicated that the warships of the United States were mere experiments and in actual conflict would prove utter failures. With the opening of the Spanish-American war the organization of the volunteer army of a quarter of a million, the systemat ic manner in which this great force was mobilized and dispatched and the ef ficiency of the volunteer troops as com pared to the regular military served to explode all such theories. In addition to this, the alacrity with which the navy was increased by converting ocean grey hounds into auxiliary cruisers, smaller steam craft into torpedo boats and ditt patch boats and the splendid and thor ough equipment of the transport ser vice brought the United States to 1 place among nations it had never pd joyed before. Since the assassination of President MTtinley, whose loss was keenly felt by the entire world, there have been a number of instances ia which foreign countries have endeavored to display their appreciation of the United States. Our consular and diplo matic representatives abroad have been honored in every way. Besides, repre sentativeg of our commercial field have been given every encouragement to bet ter their trade relations. The country is now a recognized world power; its friendship is not only sought but is eon sidered essential to the preservation of the peace of nations. Of more recent occurrence the manifestations of good will toward the United States have been most notable. The selection of Wash ington as the place of meeting for the peace penitentiaries of Russia nad Jap an was an innovation in history ; never r.ad belligerents seen fit to choose the United States for the settlement of their differences. This selection may be accepted as recognition of the country's rigid neutrality ia the Far East crisis. Immediately following, the memorial services over the death of Secretary of State Joha Hay in London were unpre cedented. Services equally as impres sive were held in SL Paul's in Rome Condolence were received' from Presi dent Loubet, from the Sultan of Turkey, and, in fact, from nearly every ruler. The culminating event, the impressive funeral of John Paul Jones in Pari, a cortege a great a that which accom panied the body of the illustrious Faure, a military and civic pageant such as is seldom seen in the capital of the French republic. These thing are convincing that the American nation and Ameri can men are at last enjoying universal and unstinted recognition. 0 IN LIGHTER VEIN. ..Aa..w..atin IN LIGHTER VEIN Next!

July (.Most eurprlalng and satisfying of aJl facta In connection with the Lewis and Clark exposition Is the attendance. During June, the open Ing month, the admlsskm were 1917 by official count Tbla breaks the re cord for exposition attendance In Amer lea, for the first month, not excepting any ' exposition that Uaa been held when the population of the territory contiguous to the fair la taken Into con alderatton. The record la not merely broken, but Is smashed to smithereens, 1 the Portland attendance kelng from ICO to 200 per cent better than that of any predecessor. The exposition at Omaha, which com pares with the Portland enterprise in general site, waa located In a territory having a population of about 14.000,000 people within the SOO-mlle radius. That radius extended north, east, south and west The 500-mile radius from Port land Is sliced off on one side by the Pacific ocean, which Is only a hundred miles distant; within what ia left of the radius there are only about 1,800,000 In habitants: and yet Omaha had but 289,351 admissions during the first month, as compared with Portland 15,179. Within Omaha's radius were' Chicago, St. Louis. Kansas City, De Moines and other very pcpuloos cen ters. Portland has only such cities as Seattle and Tacoma, on Puget sound. Ban Francisco ia more than 700 miles away. Portland Itself contain about 140.000 people. Thia record waa made during the month that was unusually rainy, and the rainy days cut down the attend ance. Had June been as sunny and glorious as the normal June In Port land, there Is no doubt that the re markable figures of half a mlllon ad missions would have been reached. But with the official figure at 419.17. the people of Portland and the officials of the fair are agreeably surprised and highly gratified. It has been stated by one experienced expositlonlst who has been connected with several previous expositions, that 150.000 admission dur Ing June would have been as many as could have been expected, considering the experience of other big falra. Several reasons contribute to this re markable attendance. One Is the fact that the exposition was practically In a complete state when it opened June 1. Another is that the bewilder ing beauty of the grounds Is an Irre sistible lure. But perhaps the most Important fact Is that this is the very first exposition which the people of the Pacific slope have been privileged to behold, and they are "taking It In" to their heart's content. The nearest big exposition heretofore was that at Oma ha, 2,000 miles away. Comparatively few residents of the states west of the Rocky mountains have visited any ot the other world's fairs. The Portland show Is something new under the aun to them and they show their appreci ation by paying the gate money. Thousands of people from the mid die west and the east have visited the fair and the local hotel bookings Indl cat that the stream of visitors from points to the eastward will be much larger during July, continuing to in crease until the close of the fair, Oct tober 15. California, though Ms north ern line Is a theater of 400 miles from the attendance. During the first three weeks nearly 2000 Californlans register ed at the California state building, and this seresents but a small proportion of the California people who have been to the exposition. July opened with an attendance of !. on the first an Increase of sev eral thousand above the daily attend ance for June. , This indicate mat July's attendance will far surpass that of June. Everything Is now In full wing, with half a dozen bands furn ishing music each day and evening. the sky-scraping mountain peaks visi ble to east and north from nearly any pvjfnt in the ground As yet there has not been a day of uncomfortable warm weather.
