The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-12-22

The Richmond Dispatch prints a let
ter from a correspondent residing at
Yak postofIice, who states that a mule
recently died in his neighborhood at
the age of thirty-seven years, and asks
if any place in Virginia can boast of
a mule which lived to such an ad-
vanced age. The Dispatch says re-
gretfully that the question probably
will never be answered, because
scarcely anybody takes notice of the
mules birthday. The muleit continues,
has never had fair showing in his
tory and, so far as known, not one has
had its biography written.

one can only wonder in studying the
popular feeling in naval matters as to
how long Admiral Schley's stock will
keep up. Dewey was the greatest pop
uIar hero this nation ever had; yet he
became extremely unpopular over a
few simple acts that seems really no
cause for public censure. The fact that
he gave his house TO his wife or that
he hankered after a presidential NOM
ination seem poor reasons for his de-
cline in popular favor Just at present
the tide seems to have turned toward
Dewey again, and those particularly
who are impressed with Schley's great
ness, are inclined to magnify Dewey to
his old proportions as a popular hero.

patriotic man yields affection and re-
spect, be his views on questions of
public policy never so conflicting.
AS it was with President Mckinley,
so it will be with President Roose-
welt. He viii find a loyal and hearty
welcome wherever he goes, and he
VIII find no place more ready to do
him honor than Salt Lake, should
he decide to visit this city. This
city was debarred the pleasure of en-
tertaining President Mckinley. Mr..
Roosevelt can count on just as warm
and enthusiastic welcome as that
which Salt Lake was prepared TO
give Mr.. Mckinley. More than that
no man could ask, and Salt Lake
would be powerless to give.
President Roosevelt's resolve to
make tour of the western half of
the United States as early as pos
sible in his term Is highly commend
able. 1t is desirable that a president
acquaint himself with the needs of
the whole country and of the wishes
of the people of all sections. Such in
formation can be reliably CLEANED
only by visiting the most distant
states, making a careful study of
the conditions and getting in close
touch with the people. There is, there
fore, far more than sentiment in
such a trip as the one proposed, and
If 1t is made in the proper spirit and
from right motives, it must rebound
to the benefit of both the chief ex-
ecutive and the nation at large.

THE STATE FAIR.

II He ANNUAL STATE FAIR
which opens next Tuesday,
gives promise of repeating and
even surprising the success which
has CT v-ued the efforts of the man
agement in former years. The officials
have worked hard, are still work
ing, and nothing is being left undone
which viii add to its attractiveness
Among established institutions
there Is probably none that has ac-
complished more good in comparison
with the outlay than the state fair.
To Salt Lake it has been a distinct
benefit by bringing to the city every
year hosts of country visitors. To
the farmers of the state it has been
a source of instruction and informa-
tion the most valuable. BY bringing
together people from remote parts
of the state with their best products
it has furnished a means for the ex,
change of ideas that is helpful to
all 1t hos also promoted a spirit Of
friendly rivalry among the breeders
of stock and the growers of fruits.
vegetables and grains that has great
ly improved the quality of all agricul-
tural products.
Under progressive and intelligent
management the fair is yearly be
coming more valuable and broader
in Its scope. No one, be he a resi-
dent of city, town or country, can
afford to miss visiting the fair
grounds during the coming exhibi-
ton, for no one can make an intellis
gent tour Of the exhibits and come
away without gaining information
and hints that viii prove useful.
1t Is also desirable that an insti-
tuition So ably managed and SO valu.
able to the state be encouraged by
the public in every possible way.

AN AK TO GRIND.

A n ATTACK on the removing Of
u the High school to the old uni
L \ versity buildings has been
made, which, to anyone familiar
with educational conditions in Salt
Lake, must appear to be without rea-
son or logic.
1t became imperative to seek rev
quarters for the High school. TIE
old university buildings were offered,
and, as these proved to be the best
adapted to the needs of the institu-
ton, the offer was accepted. There
was no attempt TO buy the land or
the buildings, and there is no desire
or intention to do so. The purpose
was merely to provide for a temper
airy home for the High school until
such time as it would be possible to
build permanent quarters.
Eventually there will undoubtedly
be erected on the east side a struc-
trlre that viii do credit to the city
It may then be found desirable to
retain the old university site for a
west side school. But there is no in
tentiOn OF taking any step to secure
this property permanently until, at
the same time, the city can be pro-
vided with an adequate High school
on the east side
It would be we'll if this could be
done now. But, unfortunately, the
fnanciI straits of the school board
render such step impossible. The
bonded Indebtedness of the board,
owing to the shrinkage of values
since it was created, Is now in excess
of the legal limit. Hence any talk
of building at this time is sheer nom
sense.
% For these reasons it is apparent
that those who are responsible for
the attack on the action of the board
of education in this particular are
either ignorant of the conditions
surrounding the hoard, or have al
AK to grind.

CONDITION OF WHITE HOUSE.

w SHINGTON PAPERS are
wv again calling attention to the
ruinous condition of the
White House and the inadequate ac-
commodat;ons it affords for a family
of the size of Mr.. Roosevelt's. Even
presidents with fewer members to
their households than has Mr.. Roose-
welt have been put to many incon-
veniences because of the condition
into which the building has fallen
The present incumbent. with fairly
large family, must necessarily suffer
more than any of his predecessors.
In an editorial in which it points
to the inadequacy of the present exec
utive mansion, the Washington Star
makes the following commentary on
the Improvements that are required ::
''There are four possibilities in the
line of White House improvements /:
the present building may be en-
larged by the addition of wings; it
may be entirely replaced by a mod
ern structure; it may be retained as
an Office building while a presiden-
tial residence is provided elsewhere,
or it may be retained as a residence
while a separate presidential Office is
erected. The sentiment in general
has always favored the union of resi-
dence and Office. 1t has likewise ia
vored the retention of the old struc-
ture for historical reasons. There
fore, the trend of opinion is toward
the first mentioned plan for the en-.
largement of the mansion, as by the
plans which formed a feature of the
centennial celebration last Decem.
ber.o
Whatever plan is ultimately de
cided upon, the present structure
must be maintained. 1t is too rich
with historic associations and mem
cries dear to the people of the coun-
try to be destroyed. But it is beyond
question that it is not now a fitting
abode for the head of the greatest
nation IN the world, and congress
should see that the necessary i'm
provements are made. This is a
matter in which the nation with a
decent respect for its dignity cannot
afford to be niggardly.

FUTURE BULL FIGHTS.

A FRENCHMAN, Henry Deutsch
n he in whose name the prize is
offered for which NJ. Santos
Dumont has been so perseveringly
striving, has come out with a plan
which he believes viii add to the ex-
citement, and at the same time RET
move some of the brutality of bull
fights.
His scheme is to mount the picca-
dores on automobiles instead of on
horses. He believes that a skillful
automobiles would be able to avoid
the charges of the infatuated animal.
AT the same time he points out that
the goring of horses, which is one of
the cruelest features of bull fighting
would be eliminated.
This is a very laudable suggestion
and one that is in keeping with
the progress of science and inven-
ton. But NJ. Deutsch does not 90
far enough. Why should he stop BIZ
substituting autos for horsesg Why
not transplant the bull by a large size
motor carriage, against which the
plceadores on their lighter automo-
biles could show their skill in get.
ting out of the road. The battle
could go on until every tire of the
mechanical bull had been punctured,
when the automobile fighter could
step up and give the finishing stroke
by forcibly turning off the power.
As recent races in France have
shown that an automobile properly
handled can become as dangerous 70
life and limb as any bull. the affray
would lose none of its excitement
and would, at the same time. avoid
offending the societies for the pre-.
vention of cruelty to dumb animals

Resolutions Adopted.

The council met in special session
September 16, adopted the following
resolutions, which for want of space
were not published in our last issue:
IN MEMORY OF PRESIDENT MCKINLEY.
WHEREAS, by the deed of an assas-
sin our late and revered President, WILL
LIAM MCKINLEY, has been removed
from his people and from earth.
Resolved, By the council of the Town
of Ritzville, Washington, that, in common
with all patriotic people of whatever
shade of belief. the untimely and tragi-
cal death of President Mckinley is
deeply deplored; that the assassin should
be dealt with so speedily and justly as
to deter the most hardy of sympathizers
with the murderer and their followers
from ever again attempting SO foul a
crime.
Resolved, further, That the murder of
our President in. time of peace and
good will is felt as stroke at the princi-
plies and the welfare of our beloved
country. and should, if possible. be dealt
with accordingly.
Resolved, further, That we sincerely
sympathize with the desolate widow and
bereaved family of the late President.
Resolved, That copy of these reso-
lutions be published in the ADAMS
COUNTY NEWS and the Ritzville Times.
