Life'a Journey.

We hustle down our city streets,

And Why good Lord. we do not know

Retirement of Faithful Teachers.

Clark. Bailey and the Tariff

Mr.. Clark of Missouri was among the
speakers in the House last week on the
tariff question. and had attention for a
very interesting deljverance. He rallied
the republicans on their differences and
said he would go far To hear debate
betw cen Mr.. Dolliver of Iowa and Mr.
PAYNE of New York. Asked how far he
would go to hear debate on the subject
between MIR. Bryan and Senator Bailey,
he replied, Not ten steps. 1 know as

statesmen put together"

The Convention Canital.

WASHINGTON is potentially the conven-
ton capital of the western hemisphere
and if the plans of the enterprising men
of Washington do not 80 awry, and they
must not. and if local enthusiasm does
not flag. and it will not, Washington will
be the premier convention city, in fact.
The capital has already come to high
rank a convention city, not by reason
of any system of campaign for attracting
conventions here. but simply because of
its natural merit and its magnetism for
the countless organized bodies in the
| nited States. Its natural advantages,
augmented by additional meeting and n
tertainment facilities and supplemented
by aggressive human endeavor, will
make Washington the convention capital.
one step i'm the right way was taken
last night. when at a meeting under the
auspices of the Chamber of Commerce
progressive business men of the city sub
scribed $4,000 of the $1,000 needed for
permanent convention fund. The re-
mainder of this fund will, no doubt. be
readily obtained.
Every man at last nights meeting was
charged with the proper amount of zeal
and energy. They wrote their names with
enthusiasm. They were full of belief in
the present and future grandeur of
Washington. THE logical convention
city was frequent phrase.
The only weak link in Washngton's
claim to title az the great convention
city is the lack of monster audito-
rum. This defect may soon be remedied
and the deficiency supplied by the
-
alton, an association national in scope
and resolutely supported by influential
interests in the District of Columbia.
When Mrs. Henry F. Dimock of New
York. president of the association. ap
peared before the Washington Board
of Trade last Thursday evening she
was promised loyal and unstinted sup
port in this laudable enterprise, which
comprehends a magnificent memorial to
the greatest American. a rallying place
for Americas many patriotic societies
and building and auditorium com
mensurate with the needs of Washing
ton as a convention city. With such
an auditorium Washington would be
the queen of convention cities. She
would have no rival in this particular
sphere
Conventions want to come to Wash
ington Many do come but more would
gather here. Washington is not only
the peoples capital. but popular CAPT
tai Every American likes to come
here enjoys the experience and wants
to come again. The advantages to Wis
iting Americans are manifold and to
the capital direct The livelier the in
terest of Americans in their capital the
faster Washington will grow and the
more beautiful she Will become So
here's to the permanent convention
fund and the George Washington Me-
mortal Hall,
