Democrat had a long article tending

Graves made In the primary. The
purpose OF the article was patent 10

OF the editor was TO try to align the

ROME VERSUS PARIS.
When the Eternal City Was the Ar
Center of the World.

"hen the Eternal City Was the Art
Center of the World.
There was time when Rome was
the worlds art center. No artists edu-
cation was considered complete unless
he spent some time in that city. There
was always to be found there coterie
Of strong men, many Of them famous,
in whose society the tyro might min
gle and gain much by the companion
ship. That day has gone by. however,
and a change has taken place. Paris
has usurped the prerogative Of the old
city, and it is to her that the world now
turns for new ideas of art. The Ital-
ian galleries remain, the masterpieces
hang in their accustomed places, the
sky is as blue, the air as soft and the
outlook as lovely, but the glory Of Ro-
man art life has departed. The hui
mainly that gave the art impetus, the
interest to the student, has betaken it
self from the Seven Hills to the peace
full Seine, where it flourishes in the
wilder, more luxuriant growth, nurtur-
ed by the dollhouse forcing Of fin de
steele ideas, untrammeled by conven-
ton or tradition. For good or bad
and the judgment must be left to the
reader-the fact remains that today
Paris is the hub about which the wheel
Of art revolves.
Yet from Paris there go annually to
the italian capital a number of young
men, winners of the annual competi-
lions for the prize Of Rome, to spend
four years In the most idyllic manner
as guests of the French republic at the
Villa Medici, a beautiful palace own
ed by the government and specially ar
ranged for their reception. These men
have not won their spurs without hard
work. without great preliminary train
ing and many struggles.-Arthur Hoe

To Confer With Vice.

Some few weeks ago it was stated by
your correspondent that Chairman
Hitchcock would visit Indianapolis be-
fore. the formal opening of the national
campaign. This was met with deni-
ais, some of the party managers as
sorting that Mr.. Hitchcock had no
thought of coming to Indiana, as there
was nothing here that required his at
tention. Now the announcement Is
made that the national chairman will
arrive in Indianapolis not later than
Friday of this week, and will hold con-
ferences with Vice President Fair
banks and other of the party leaders.
The announcement does not come from
state headquarters, but it is admitted
that he is expected. Vice President
Fairbanks declined to make any state
ment regarding the visit, but stated
that he had been informed of the ma
tional chairman's coming. 1t is sup
posed that the chief subject of discus
sion between the two will be the ex-
tent of Mr.. Fairbanks's participation
in the campaign. He has offered his
services, and it is now to be settled as
to where he is to be used and the num-
Der of speeches he is willing to make.

Democrats Want to Wait.

The speakers bureau of the demo
cratic state organization is somewhat
perplexed. There is a desire to hold
onto the party's best speakers until
after Taft or some of the chief repub-
lican orators have shot their bolt in
the state. At least there is objection
to the actual assignment of speakers
until after these things are known. On
the other hand, the republican bureau
has no intention of letting its assign
ments be known until the last possible
moment, being fully aware that the OPP
position is playing for position. 1t is
stated that not a word will be given
out regarding the assignment of the
more important republican speakers
until about Sept. Is, and this date may
be given out simply as a blind" The
clamor for speakers grows with each
day, but nothing is being done toward
satisfying 1t. Indiana is to have
plenty of campaign speakers, and the
best obtainable, but there will be fur

mite is known regarding their assign
ments.

Indianapolis, Sept. 3.-The United
States government officials are the lat
est to take whack at the near-beers
now being put out by the breweries,
and which are the basis of suit new
pending in the state supreme court.
Now that the army maneuvers are on
in full force at Fort Benjamin Harri-
son, the vendors of drinks are putting
up their shacks in the neighborhood
of the post. Gen. Carter, who is in
command, acting under orders of the
war department, has announced that
these so-called temperance drinks will
be inspected before their sale will be
permitted. He declines to consider
the evidence in any OF the cases
brought against dealers in these drinks
in different parts of the state, but will
act solely upon what his own investi-
cation develops. These near-beers, he
says, must be non-intoxicants in every
sense of the word, or they will be kick
ed from the neighborhood of the fort,
outside the reach of the many soldiers
now encamped there. The least per-
centage of malt found in the drinks
will be sufficient to taboo them. and
there will be no relief at law for either
the manufacturers or sellers. The
war department authority in the mat
ter of post regulations is a law unto
itself. and there will be no compro-
missing with the brewers.
