STATE ENCAMPMEh1
Sons of Veterans Will Hold a
Convention at Terre
Haute, Tuesday,.
A FEW LOCAL DELEGATES

Richmond can have the twenty
fourth annual encampment Of the In
diana Sons of Veterans, if it wants it,
according to a well known member of
the local order. However it is not
probable that such an effort will not
be made at this years convention,
which convenes in Terre Haute Tues
day. Mrs. Della Phenis, president Of
the state auxiliary will attend and it
is probable that Laurence Handley
and City Judge Converse will also at
tend Rev. T. J. Graham is the dele
gate from the local camp, but he does
not believe he can make the trip.
Invitations received from the COM
mittees in charge of this years affair
are printed on large pasteboard key
on which 1t states, You are invited
to attend the skiddoo (23) convention
of the Indiana Sons of Veterans En-
campment at the Hut, June and

tors, according to the invitations.

SECOND RENAISSANCE.
Another Revival of Art, II IL Claim

Another Revival of Art, II IL Claim-
ed, IL Needed.
In order to reform our present stereo-
typed methods Of art we want a Sec
ond renaissance For long years we
have done nothing but turn out from
our colleges young men stuffed with
useless scientific lumber, and they very
quickly lose it all. and there Is nothing
to,take it's place. This is not to be Won
dered at when throughout Europe
there is such neglect of art in our ed
ucation. 1t may be replied to me that
the inventions of science compensate
for the deficiency, but these inventions
are almost exclusively if not quite
mere increase in the power of the bod
lily senses and faculties-the telegraph
in that Of the tongue. the telephone in
that Of the ear. the railway in that of
the legs, the Photographic science in
that of the eye-and these inventions
leave in ignorance the more intellectual
part Of the individual. Your portrait
can be taken, your voice boxed up-this
is extraordinary-but the soul which
commands. the god which is in the
head, is forgotten. ....
And yet the means for altering this
state Of things is near at hand, is be-
meath our eyes. We have stin the same
nature that inspired those anonymous
sculptors to give us the Gothic; we still
have sufficient number Of Gothic
masterpieces intact-so many epitomes

THE SPY SYSTEM.

Z. II the Very Soul of the Govern.
nent In Russia.
Russia is pre-eminently the land Of
spies. In Moscow in the streets agents
Of the police are stationed every 500
yards. In addition secret agents watch
the houses day and night, one being al
lotted to every four houses, and in
every house is another spy-the porter.
Go where you will, you are never out Of
the watchful eye of the police. You
brush against spies in your hotel, as in
the theaters; in restaurant, as in the
drawing room of friend. 1t is ride
ulously easy to recognize those you
meet in the fashionable resorts. They
have evidently been instructed to dis
guise themselves as gentlemen, and for
one of them the livery of gentleman
is frock coat. silk hat and always,
by rain or sunlight. an umbrella. The
famous third police! A stranger might
fancy that in an open cab, talking
French or English to his friend, he
would at least be safe from surveil-
lance. But his friend will touch him
significantly and speak Of the weather
The fat cabby on the box, somnolent,
with white hair and good paternal
eyes, may be a spy more skilled in the
languages than the travelling stranger,
and il the cabm.. has been found

tells or the embassies the chances are
strong that he is. A subtler police

vice has been restored to its statu-
tory operations.
This II merely statement Of &C
complishmsat, touching few Of the
things that have marked return to
normal conditions.
Very long steps have been taken
In the direction OF the reign of law. A
great believer in terminating the laws
delay and insuring even-handed JUG
tice to all classes. Mr.. Taft has been
the handspring In this revolution.
But he has gone further than this.
Hand In hand with the restoration of
the law has come fixed and serious
policy on the part of the president to
take the federal judiciary out OF poll
tics. It Is also his effort to raise the
standard of federal Judges as high as
Intelligent selection can elevate it..
Mr.. Taft is deeply interested in this,
and his friends regard it as one of the
great moves of his career as presi-
dent. He has shown it in almost ev-
cry appointment.
Being human and wholesome and
good natured, it is, of course, not be-
yOnd possibility that he should some
times err. He has made a few mis-
takes. perhaps Some OF them al
ready made he has remedied. Only
the other day he recalled a judicial
nomination because he had been mis-
informed as to the experience Of the
appointee. He has laid down hard
and fast rule. If the best man in a
community will take a judicial ap-
pointment he shall have it. If not the
best man, then the next best man. II
there isn't good republican who fills
the bill, the appointment will go to a
good democrat. If the best man hap
pens to be one who supported the can
didacy of Mr.. Taft, all the better. The
president delights to honor those
whom he has long known personally
and who have shown their belief in
him.

WANTS ABOLISH IT
Prof. Knouff Thinks sHammer
Throw Is a Very DAN
gerouS Pastime.
ONE KILLED THIS YEAR

Since the danger OF the hammer
throw has been again conclusively
proven by the death of Prof. Hoax of
Purdue University. two or three days
after he was struck by the hammer in
the state high school track and field
meet. at Purdue, 1t is probable that
this event will be eliminated from the
field events in the future. Prof. c.
w. Knouff. principal of the high
school athletic association. favors the
discontinuance of the event. OF the
same belief are many other Indiana
teachers and athletes. Besides the
danger Of the event it is not an espec-
tally interesting one and can be par
ticipated in only by the stronger ath-
letes of any school.

The climate Of Australia is the chief
factor In fashioning Australian poll
tics. If 1t IL advanced it is because
the sun there has forced an early de-
velopment. Girls here reach maturity
two or three years earlier ethan in
America. and countries count by gen.
erations. Meanwhile perpetual sum
mer and continual sunlight are sapping
individual energies. Even the Ameri-
can who comes here soon finds that
sustained hustling is physical impos-
ability. Let him spend three or four
years in the country, and he will cease
to wonder at the laws for an eight hour
day and the early closing Of shops.

THE PATRONAGE NATTER.

The distribution of patronage I'M
der the present administration seems
to be causing considerable trouble
out at Pierre, and a correspondent
OF the capitol city makes the follow
ing comment about the way things
= panning out:
One Of the peculiar features Of the
discussion which is going on as to
the question of state patronage, is
that question OF the action of Cover
nor Vessey is not discussed, but the
action OF what is designated as the
patronage committee is the principal
point Of discussion. The governor
has the "last say" but the action of
the outsiders is what interests the
lobby al yet. The general gossip is
to the effect that r. O. Richards and
National Committeeman Thorson on
one hand, and State Chairman Cook
and J D. Elliott on the other cannot
agree on the matter of endorsements.
That Thorson and Richards are push
ing the claims of DR. Klavness of
Sioux Falls, and Arthur Linn of Can
ton. rs members of the state board
Of charities and corrections, and that
the two others are opposing such
action. Further rumors of differen-
CO.. are that Richards wants to get

and desires o. 8. Basford retained
