The Presidents Trip.
It Breaks All Records and VIII Serve
Most Useful Purposes.

President BooseveIt's Western trip,

ecutive Will travel nearly 1900 miles.

absent from the seat of government
for sizty-six days. Only President
MeKinley's trip two years ago, as
planned, could have rivaIed the timer
airy now arranged for his successor.
But the Presidential tour of 1901,
broken by Mrs AIcKinley's illness IN
San Francisco, was never completed
on the lines originally laid down.
President Roosevelt, therefore, I'M
dertakes a journey vaster in scope

to be a recognized convention IN pre-
pairing to visit the very ends Of the
Union over which he has been set as
It's Chief Magistrate.
Imposing, as they do. new burdens
and eSertions on an Office already ex-
acting and over-bmdened, these Pres
identiaI pilgrimages have been con
demned IN some quarters as an unfor-
tunate innovation It was Admiral
Dewey vino suggested the other day
that under present conditions only a
man Of vigorous constitution and in
/ the very prime Of life can discharge

trip as President Roosevelt has now
undertaken as a proof Of the increas-
ing strain and stress Of Presidential
/ life. He did not add, what other
critics were disposed to emphasize a
/ year or more ago, that travel through
distant States and contact at a thou
sand points with sightseeing crowds

health but even to the life of a Chief

as President Roosevelt Is now induIg-

! Il IS Of enormous benefit to the Pres
ideut himself, bringing him IN per
sonal touch with the life of distant
and separated parts Of the Union
and opening his mind tC heir needs
and So ments. The knowledge he
gains on each IT lscontiuental trip
can be subsequently applied in legis-
Iation and administration. The first

An American Defect.
How Is Our Lack of Artistic Instinct
to Be Overcome?

to Be Overcome?
The statement recently made by
Bishop Spaldin@ that Americans lack
a sense of beauty i one which is
often heard, and Is apparently just
fed by many familiar phenomena Of
our life. 1t Is quite true that much
Of our furniture Is incredibly ugly
that some OF the alleged works Of art
which adorn American homes are
lacking in all artistic qualities, and
that some Of our architecture IS AN
unpleasant mixture Of several differ
ent styles.
This naturally creates the impress
sion among cultivated people and
visiting foreigners that there Is some
thing in the American character
which Is opposed to the Development
of true art, that, in short, we are af-
ficted with depression where the
bump Of TASTE ought 10 be.
There is d possibility, however, that
this may not be quite as mortiiffyingly
/ true as it seems. Perhaps the martIs-

a consequence of q racial defect as Of
