MAY BE DISCONTINUED.

According to the information receiv-
ed at the local Pennsylvania offices,
the sale of mileage books in the Cen
trail and Trunk Line passenger asso-
citation territories, probably will be
discontinued after January /, 1908.
The two cent passenger fare law,
which is effective in many states I'M
der the jurisdiction of the associations
is responsible for the move. The adj
visibility of disseminating these books
will be discussed at a meeting of the
officers of the two associations in the
near future. 1t is understood in Rich
mond that the passenger officials OF
the Pennsylvania railroad favor the
move Although there has not been
a material change in the number Oh
books sold at the local station, it is
expected that there will be a decided
slump after the two-cent law becomes
in all the states, whose iegis-
latures have passed them in the past
several months

THE PRESIDENT MAY
JOURNEY IN SOUTH
Will Probably Go to Memphis
In the Fall
TO DEDICATE MONUMENT.

Washington, d. c., May 1S.-The
presidents itinerary at the close of
his summer vacation may be radically
changed within the next few days. He
had intended leaving Oyster Bay late
in September, going direct to Canton,
O., where he is to speak at the dedica-
ton of the Mckinley monument on
September 80, and Immediately after
that returning directly to Washington
to resume his duties. 1t is probable
now, however. that he will go through
Ohio to Cincinnati, and from there
south to Memphis to attend the deep
waterways convention which is sched-
uled to meet early in October. While
this is not settled definitely yet, 1t
seems generally conceded that the
trip will be undertaken, for the presi-
waterways commission, which he Gre
ated, and in the whole problem OF
waterways improvement. He has
shown this repeatedly, both by action
and by words, and, in addressing the
delegates to the conventions of the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors congress,
has most heartily endorsed the work of
that organization and its aim, which
is to procure an appropriation of not
less than $5O,OOO,OOO a year from Con-
gress for the steady Improvement of
the rivers and harbors of the cou1-
try 1t is believed also. that the pres
ident is not averse to showing himself
in the South. for he, is nothing if not
a good politician. and he realizes that
by October the fight for delegates 10
the national convention will be in full
swing in several of the states south of
the Mason and Dixon line.

THE REAL SIGNIFICANCE.

At the meeting of the Sixth district
day evening, from the opinions ex-
pressed as to the sentiments of the
people.throughout the district, it could
readily be seen that the dominant fac
tor in the Sixth district is Theodore
Roosevelt and his policies. Editor
after editor rose and testified to the
great esteem and confidence the people
of this country felt in the president;
how they approved of his policy of the
Tending corporations to justice. And
all this despite the frantic efforts Of
the Indianapolis newspapers to con-
vince us that the people are tired of
the~''radical" Roosevelt and want a
conservative president. This atti-
tude ON ,the part of'the people of the
Sixth district as seen through the ut
terances-of the representatives of their
press,~is convincing proof that that
the boundariessof- the Sixth district is
heart and soupwfth President Roose-
veftsfn his fight for reform. They
look upon him as a true reformer and
not a mocker. They have put on their
thinking caps and realize just what
they have to look forward to if they DO
not support his policies, and allow the
corporations once more to put foot
upon their necks. They see that the
kind of Conservatism" preached by
such papers as the Indianapolis Star.
Is but a cloak to cover the "you-mind-
your-own- business conservatism of
the corporations. And they don't
want that kind of conservatism. Pres
ident Roosevelt does not appear radio
al to the people whose interests he is
protecting, but only to those whom he
has interrupted in their hoggish feast
upon the rights of others. His poll
cies, whether carried out by himself or
by successor worthy of him, are Of
vital Importance to all of us, and re-
alizing this it is no wonder that the
rank and file of the Sixth district are
for President Roosevelt. The express
sion of the editors of the Sixth dis
trict SO overwhelmingly for President
Roosevelt are in the nature of a de-
mand that if the republican party is to
be successful in 1908. it must have
either Roosevelt again or man as
true as he is

RICHMOND AS ART CENTER,

That Richmonds work in the line
of art has attracted wide notice and
that it has given the city an enviable
reputation, is fully evidenced by the
following from the Springfield, O.,
Sun:
There closed at Columbus yesterday
an art exhibition that was of consid-
cradle moment 1t was a pioneer eff
fort in the capital city A loan exhi-
bition was planned and was carried
out with conspicuous success
A Columbus art critic writes in one
OF the local papers that the exhibition
was designed primarily to prove the
fact that love of art really exists in
Columbus, and that it consists not on
ly of love of art for itself but that
it has manifested itself in the pur-
chase of notable works of art by Co
lumbus people of means. 1t is said
that the exhibition was a revelation
as to the large number of art treas
ures that are owned in the city The
exhibition was attended by thousands
of persons. many of the poorer class
es particularly taking advantage of
the opportunity to see the art treas

and deeply marked with footprints.
There had evidently been struggle at
the side of the pool. which had ended
in Austin's being overcome. The
hand had undoubtedly been cut off for
the purpose of Immediately disabling
the officer.

army custom his name was left on the
company rolls for year after his dis
appearance, but at the end of that time

ures of the rich, and which otherwise
they would never have seen.
The experience of Richmond, Ind,
is one which proves that such a plan,
even a more ambitious one can be car
ried out in small cities. Richmond is
not as large as Springfield, yet there
wonderful work has been done. The
fame of the Richmond plan has spread
far, and an article in the current num-
Der of leading review tells particu-
larIy of some of the more important
phases.
The movement in Richmond has
been carried forward by an Art asso-
citation which has been in existence
for ten years. A loan exhibit has been
held every May since the movement
was started. More than this perma-
nent fund has been created, a public
spirited man of wealth giving $500
each year for the purchase of a pic
ture. Thus a collection belonging to
the association is being secured, and
the movement is beginning to show
signs of permanent results.
The annual exhibition is held in one
of the fine school buildings of the city.
1t is attended by practically the en-
tire population of Richmond. In con-
nection with this event musical fes-
tival is held every year and this year
the Theodore Thomas orchestra will
play an engagement of several con-
certs.
Richmond has a population of about
half of Springfield. The art move
ment could be carried out as well here
as there, provided a start could once
be made Nobody knows what the art
stores of Springfield families consist
of, for they have never been brought
together and no account taken Of
them. Beyond a doubt those possess
ing good pictures would be glad TO
loan them and thus make Il e begin
nings of a movement which would be
as far reaching and as valuable to the
city as that of Richmond.
