From Cleveland to Geneva, Ohio,
is about as pretty a SO mile stretch of
country as lies between the two oceans
Not so many years ago it was a COM
mon thing Of a Sunday for fifty or
more bicycle cranks to make acentury
run from Cleveland to Geneva and
back. Last sunday about thirty auto
mobile parties made the run-but
nary a bike. They have gone to the
scrap pile, and now to be in it you've
got TO cough up from 81, 1000 to 81, 600
for a fOur-wheeled machine and take
your best girl along. And it's the same
with the spark wagons as it was with
the blkes-a fellow can swap his old
machine and give $500 )if he can raise
it) to boot for a new one every spring.
The benZine buggies are nice, but
deyilish expensive playthings. They
will, however, probably stay longer
than the bikes, in that they fill a
want that the work-it-yourself wheel
did not.

A Washington special says that the
population experts of the census
bureau are inclined to the belief that
the center OF population of the Unit
ed States, which has travelled west
ward steadily since the foundation Of
the government, has turned and is
now headed east. 1t is,expected that
the cenSuses to be taken in a dozen.
states during May and June will throw
light on the present location of the
center of population, which the en-
sus of 1900 placed six miles southeast
of Columbus, Indiana. The center of
population of South Dakota was one
of the main arguments of the capital
removal advocates. 1t was held, and
not successfully disputed, that, adj
mitting all the claims made for that
part of the state west OF the center
(Pierre) was true, the eastern half Of
the state-containing IS per cent of
the population-wouid always hold its
own. The elections of last fall over
the state showed that IS per cent Of
vote was east of the Missouri and over
80 per cent east OF Pierre which was
sufficient evidence to show that in the
four years following the census Of 1900
the east half of the state had held it's
own dispite the big claims made by
Pierre of the enormous immigration
west of the center OF the state. 1t
may be of some interest to know Just
where the center of population OF the
state really is, after SO much talk
about it and wild claims made during
the capital campaign. The GRAPHIC
has letters from the government cen
sus bureau stating that the center of
population of the state IN 1900 was
fiye miles southeast OF Wolsey. In
1880 it was ten and a half miles south.
east of Wolsey. In the ten years fol.
lowing 1890 il moved one mile west
and five miles north. The center OF
population will be within fifteen miles
of Huron for the next decade.

RUSSlA'S TWO FLEETS WIPED OUT
The long expected battle betweent he
Russian and Japanese fleets took place
the first of the week. and resulted IN
the almost total destruction of the
two combined Russian fleets under
command Of Vice Admiral Rojest-
vensky. Admiral Toga was lying in
wait for the Russians in the Korean
Straits, 600 miles northeast of Shang-
hal, where the engagement opened
Sunday. When the Russians we're
sighted they were steaming in battle
formation in two columns. The Japs
lit on to them ike a nest Of hornets
and before the fight was over had
sunk and captured % ships and cap
tured 5000 men, most Of them rescued
from sinking ships. The detruction
of Russia's second and third fleet,
modified after a 16, 0OO-mile sail from
the Baltic, earlier in the war practi-
cally wipes the Gar from the sea.

The Huron Hurunitc proposes Il
change in the assessment laws which
will undoubtedly meet with the hearty
approval of Russell Sage, if it comes
to his notice:
The Huronite has long been con
WINGED that the present system of
taxation is wrong. The great
wealth holders of the country do
not begin to bear their proportions
ate share of the burdens of self
government. The system cannot
be amended save by ii complete re-
volution. The Huronite believes
that the only just way to levy
taxes is upon expenditures, not
upon values. Tax a person on
what he spends. not on what he
possesses, and the evil nov exist
ing would be remedied.
This will be a tough proposition on
the man with a big family spending
every cent of a $1,000 salary and a
rather easy one on the close-tisted
mar who nets 5000 year from his
business and spends a $1,000.
We think a system OF taxation
which hit the earnings OF a man, little
and big, would be a more just one.
Our revenuc system might be pattern
ed after that OF Mexico, where every
one who is engaged IN a trade or pro-
fession pays a tax or a license. In
that country every physician, lawyer,
surveyor, engineer, all mechanics in
whatever. line, must pay a certain
sum annually before he can ply his
profession or trade.
In this country a man can settle
down IN a communltY-a lawyer, for
inStance-and earn anywhere from $1,000
to $40, 900 annually and unless he Hns
real estate or personal property not
pay a dollar toward the support of the
municipality, county or state, while
the business man whose net income
may be less than %one-fourth that of
the lawyer must contribute his share
right along.
On the first page will be found an
interesting article from Prof. Chill
colt, professor of agriculture at the
Bookings Agricultural college, on the
proposed $40 acre homesteads west of
the Missouri. The article is parti-
cularlY interesting to the editor of
the GRAPHIC, IN that 1T confirms in
every particular what he wrote dur
ing the capital campaign us to the
possibilities of the west half Of the
state containing as dense a population
as the east half. The article is also
interesting from the fact that the
Brookings Press exploited with much
apparent glee the opinions of Pro-
fessors Hanson and Wheeler after a
trip west of Pierre. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that Prof. Chllcott could not
have spoken earlier-though Of course
1T would have had no effect upon the
campaign. One points he brings out
is very little understood by but few
OF the ordinarily intelligent writers
for the press VIZ:
"The soil on the opposite sides Of
the river are entirely different,
geologically, physically. chemically
and agriculturally. Past expert
ence with soils east of the river
will not therefore necessarily hold
good for those west Of the river.
There are exceptions of course, most
of Lyman county, for instance, an6
much of Gregory-being identically
the same as on this side-and there
are of course sections east Of the
Missouri not as good as some land!

The genius whose brain fathered the
plan little imagined that his thought,
wonderful as 1t was in many ways,
would evolve finally into one of the
most pathetically humorous spectacles
the world has ever seen when the per-
sons who make up the different herds
of travelling humans are considered.
He never knew that his plan would
threaten to blight the grandeur of the
APPS. turn the tomb of Napoleon into
the scene of a continuous vaudeville
and make the wonders of the world side
shows at which half Comprehending
groups of tired men and women glanced
open mouthed before they were hur
ried on to another halting place.
Even the glory of a Venetian sunset
is dimmed when 1t becomes the back
ground for one of these sad tourist
hordes, bound in chains of iron, not
through love for each other or even a
similarity Of taste, age, creed or the
affinity that binds the criminal to his
fellow, but by the stern regulations of
their touring tickets, which hold them
together during the prescribed period
of travel with no allowance for good
behavior.
Individual intelligence
Taken separately there is little doubt
that the members Of the chain gang
would prove to have individuality, in
terest, intelligence, even charm. I'm
thinking, unambitious persons do not
set out to see new worlds under such
difficulties. They sit by the fire at home
and give voice to quaint unoriginal
PHILOSOPHERS.
But, seeing the gang tourists as they
hurry on each others heels through
Westminster Abbey or huddle in hor-
ribly sheeplike groups in the corridors
of Versailles. it is impossible to dignity
them with separate personalities.
One is Immediately impressed with
the metaphysical truth that we are
bound to become in time that which our
environment and companionships make
of us. Undoubtedly the members of
the chain gang are provided with sets
of rules as to dress. and even behavior,
that they feel called upon to obey.
Certain it is that as two or three
dozen of them enter the courtyard of a
foreign hotel the women, at all events,
look so much alike as to seem that
they belong to some sisterhood that has
abjured the vanity of gowns that wash. |

No vestige of this house remains. It's
site is covered by an experiment gar
den of the department of agriculture
and few bricks found on the site were
put in the walls of a government build
ing that stands in the experiment
grounds.
The Genesis of Arlington
Custis built big frame house on the
river shore which he called Abingdon.
The house is standing. 1t was there that
Eliza, Martha and Nellie Custis were
born. George Washington Parke Custis
was born at the home of his mothers
parents in Maryland.
John Parke Custis served as an aid
on Washington's staff and died of fever
near Yorktown November 5, 1881.
George Washington adopted his two
young children, Nellie and George
Washington Parke. These children
took up their residence with their
grandmother, Mrs. Washington, at
Mount Vernon. Nellie lived there till
her marriage to Washingtons nephew,
Lawrence Lewis, February 90, 1893, and
George Washington Parke Custis lived
there till the death of Mrs. Washington
in 1902. Then he chose a hillsite on the
Abingdon estate and erected the great
house, Arlington, so named in memory
of John Custis the second, whose home
Arlington" stood in Northampton
county, Va, which was named in honor
of Henry, Earl of Arlington, a CO.
grantee with Lord Culpepper of Vir-
ginia.
Many of the residents of Washington
remember G. w. Parlle Custis He died

Civil War, and before the federal

manded the city of Washington.
The unknown"
On the eastern slope of Arlington, far
from any other, and in "a removed
spot is grave covered with a marble
slab and enclosed with a high brick
wall. The slab is inscribed:
Sacred
to the Memory of
Mrs. Mary Randolph.
Her Intrinsic Worth Needs no Elogium
The deceased was born the 9th of
Aug9st' l762, at Ampthill, near Rich
mand, Va, and died the 23d of January
1928, in Washington City, a victim to
maternal love and duty.
As tribute of Filial Gratitude this
monument is dedicated to her exalted
virtues by her youngest son.
1t is a strange fact that the author
tiles of Arlington have no knowledge
concerning the person whose bones rest
in this tomb. Yet she was a member
of the great Randolph family of the
James river country and was in some
way related to Mrs. Robert e. Lee on
her mothers side.
The Washington National Intelli-
gencer of January "a, 1928, throws this
light on the old tomb:

the best hotels refuse absolutely to
accommodate them, and in this item,
as in all else, they are forced to do
as they always must do-take what
they can get.
Bells are allowed to ring unanswered;
rooms are left unmade up; baggage
must be carried in person; lifts stop
running at their approach, and in dim

learns is nominated in the bond.

IT was a business genius who first

And these are advantages to the
stranger when the language spoken is
ether than English and the money and

1t was a genius, but not an artist.

one of the greatest commercial sue

fortunes for it's inceptors and pro-
rnoters, and 1T put Europe and it's

who could never otherwise attempt the
to them impossible feat of a cross ocean
tour.

commOiate two, and it must be admit
ted that they do not protest, but
through sheer fatigue fall on the food
that is served them with a fiercely con-
temptuous sneer by the walters who
know that no fee is coming.
One feels sad at first for so many of
the chain gang sport the flag upon
their chests, out by degrees you begin
TO share the scorn that generally seems
to be their portion. For under any
circumstances why do they not assert
their rights to such modest luxuries as
clean table cloths and fresh water?
But there is not one protest. and this
is the odd feature-that so many men
and women could be found in one group
travelling under the pretense of pleas
ure at all events and all tlmely submit
ting to she most outrageous injustice
and impudalce.
One speedily gets to know in Eu-
rope the treatment that would be ac-
corded to any traveller who would dare
10 expect services without Il fee. True,
the amount is very much smaller than
that required in America, but it is
more frequent, and at the continental
hotels and most of the London ones,
for that matter there is the waiter

carriage porter. the boots" the lift
man and the cooperative maid and
valet that do the work of one cham

Each must have a fee, and if it is
forgotten or omitted the servant stands
at your carriage door, as you would
drive away in the sight of all men,

Over Empty Graves
In Arlington, Washington, there are
also "tombstones" under which there
are no tombs. Many officers of the
army and navy have selected their
grave sites and some have caused to be
erected tombstones duly inscribed with
the exception of the date of death. A
blank space on the stone is left for this.
Gen. Benham has had his monument
erected. 1t Is inscribed as follows
In Memory of
Daniel w. Benham,

Born December 90, 1887.
Admiral Melville has also had his
