ing with the president would be

COMMITTEE NAMED TO CONFER
WITH SCHOOL AUTHORITIES
ABOUT ESTABLISHING z B
GRADE ON WEST SIDE,

AT last nights meeting of The West
Side Improvement association held in
the Baxter school, the association
thoroughly discussed the matter OF
dividing the present Seventh ward in
two wards in order that both West
Richmond and Fairview might place
representatives in the city council
The Fairview citizens have for some
time been clamoring for councilman
OF their own, and asked the West
Side Improvement association to
voice some sentiment upon the mat
ter. 1t was decided at last night S
meeting to investigate the best mode
of procedure in bringing about the
appointed to draw up resolutions for
the association favoring the move.
West Richmond and Fairview have
grown to such proportions that it
has been the prevailing belief among
both West Richmond citizens and
those of Fairview that the Seventh
ward be divided.
Want 7 Grade.
The matter of establishing a 7B
grade in the. public schools of the west
side was also discussed, as at the pre-
sent time there is no such grade, and
it. seriously affects the school child
rem, who are obliged to walk from
the west side to either the Warner
school, located at thet junction of
Ft. Wayne avenue and Seventh
streets or to the Finley school on
South Fourth street. The members
of the association would have the
7B grade either established on the
West side or at the Garfield school,
as under the present conditions the
children obliged to make too many
changes within the short period of
one term. In case the 7B grade. was
established at Garfield the children
would leave the sixth grade at the
Baxter school Immediately for Gar.
field, and would not have to attend
another school in the interim. The
association was heartily in favor of
the contemplated arrangement and ap-
pointed the secretary A. l.. Jenkins
to confer with the school board in
regard to making the change.
Money for Flower Growing.
Charles Francisco and A. L. Jen-
lzins were appointed to confer with
the street car officials to see if that
could furnish the west
side residents better service
Caleb King secretary of the civic
beauty committee moved that the
West Side improvement association
contribute six dollars to add to the
fund offered by the Aftermath socie-
ty next spring to further induce the
to cultivate flowers during
the summer months. Mr. Kings mo-
ton was adopted by the association
and as soon as the lists of flowers
and prizes are announced by the wo-
men of the club, the association will
then designate to what classes their
money shall go.

pAPYRus FOR BANK NOTES.
Italian Government Will Raise II as
Monopoly.

In only one place in Europe is
the papyrus plant still to be found.
This is on the upper reaches Of
the little river Anapo, III Sicily,
near the mouth Of which Syracuse
is situated.
Papyrus cultivation was very
important branch Of agriculture
with the antique and classic works,
for il was from the pith of this
semiaquatic plant that the material
was made upon which the ancients
wrote: a material similar to tough,
thick, whitey-brown paper, which
moderns call papyrus.
1t was the writing paper of the
world for over 1000 years "a long
period for any manufactured article
TO command the market and sue
cessfully defy all competition.
Now the Italian minister Of
finance is planning to utilize the
papyIus plant again. It's cultiva-
ton is to be undertaken by the min
istry Of agriculture, and state fac
tory for the manufacture Of papy-
rus paper is to be erected.
4 law is to be passed declaring
both the cultivation and the manu-
facture TO be government monopo-
lies, and the papyrus paper is to be
employed exclusively for the pur-
poses Of the currency.
Bank notes printed on papyrus
paper would. under those circum-
stances. be really inimitable. In
ltaly-the note forgers' paradise
this would be OF incalculable advan-
tage 10 the government and to the
public.

The Louisville Situation.

The appointment of Mr.. Robert
w. Bingham to be Mayor of Lou
isville may be accounted for by
one of two theories. Perhaps Gov
ernor Beckham has concluded that
Louisville is not essential to DEM
ocratic success. Perhaps he is
proceeding upon the theory that
those things that may ma Ike it i'm
possible for Democrats to carry
Louisville will more than make up
for this loss by an increased Demo
cratic vote in the country districts.
In other words he is preparing to
make his appeal directly to the
temperance element, regardless Of
what effect this may have on the
Louisville situation. His cam
paign for Senator was after this
plan and perhaps its success JUS
titles what now appears to be the
program for the State campaign.
The other theory by which we
may account for this appointment
is that some other man will be Sc
lected as the Democratic nominee,
and that Mr.. Bingham is merely
to serve as Mayor until the No
vember election.
As a question of politics, the en-
forcement of the Sunday closing
law in the country districts and
the smaller towns is undoubtedly
popular, but there is grave doubt
that any man can be elected Mayor
of Louisville on a straight out
lid" platform. The fusionists,
with Mr.. O'Neal as their candi-
date, with all of their opposition
to the evil influences of public
affairs, never once intimated that
Mr.. ONeal, if elected Mayor,
would enforce the Sunday closing
law. No matter whether the Dem
ocrats nominate Mr.. Beckham's
appointee, if they do not repudiate
the Governor they must declare
for Sunday closing and name a
candidate who can be relied upon
to enforce this policy. Perhaps
ninety per cent. of the politicians
of all parties would agree that such
action would doom the Democrats
to inevitable defeat in Louisville.
The Republicans in their State
platform have declared for uniform
local option laws with the county
as the unit, but they are silent
now, as they were in the fusion
campaign, on the question of Sun
day closing. 1t is reasonable to
assume that they will remain 81
