The political situation in Washing
ton presents no startling new fea-
ture, but marks a widening of the
chasm between regular and insurgent
Republicans. The event of the week
has been reflexive from Senator Bev-
eridge's speech at indianapolis, and
its Importance is shown in the fact
that the President has changed his
itinerary SO as to avoid the sur
charged atmosphere of Indiana. He
could not well do otherwise unless
he wished to make confusion more
confounded in the Hoosier state, for
whether it may be called progressive
ness or insurgency, Senator Beve-
ridges speech and it's enthusiastic ac'
ceptance proves that Indiana is ir-
reconcilable with Cannon, Aldrich
and the administration. Beveridge's
speech was doubtless epochal as ap-
piled to current political history. 1t
is so regarded in Washington. 1t
was a severe denunciation of what
has been done and shirked at the ma
tional capital. His attack upon the
Democratic party is severe ar
raignment of Republicanism of the
Payne-Aldrich type. Senator Beve-
ridge denounces the tariff; President
Taft upholds it, This is the issue in
great central state and Senator
Beyeridge has risked all in launching
it. A spectacle scarcely paralleled in
American politics is anticipated, for
the same question will be raised by
Dolliver and Cummins in Iowa by
LaFollette in Wisconsin, and by in
surgents in number of other states.
1t can well be understood how Mr..
Taft would not be at home in Indi-
ana.

The Washington Board of Trade
and it's Chamber of Commerce have
enthusiastically undertaken the work
of promoting an international expo
sition to be held at the capital of
the United States in 1915 in celebra-
tion of the completion of the Inter
oceanic Canal at Panama. The un-
dertaking is stupendous, especially
for non-commercial city without
manufa stories, for it must be remem-
bered that Washington is a govern
mental. social and diplomatic center
having considerable wealth it is
true, but not active, industrious
wealth like that of Chicago, st Louis
and Philadelphia, where great expo
sitions have heretofore been held.
Nevertheless, if congress shall ap-
propriate for Washington as it has
appropriated for smaller cities like
New Orleans, Atlanta and jamestown,
and for the celebration of events not
more important than the completion
of this greatest of human undertake
ings, there will be worlds fair that
will compare favorably with the
greatest held in America or Europe.
For one thing, the Potomac Park in
the midst of the city and accessible
by foot, wagon, automobile, electric
car and steam boat from every part
of the city and surrounding towns,
presents a site for an exposition in
convenience and accessibility equal
led only by the Champs de Mars in
Paris, where the most successful
worlds expositions have been held.

for over twenty years. He publishes a
good local and general newspaper,

comfy those familiar with the business
can correctly judge as to the trials Of a

reaps a smaller margin Of profit than

that for others. And those persons

Contest in Spelling, Adding and
Writing.

Grand County Herald: Superintend-
ent J. c. Brockert is sending out notices
and instructions regarding the work
preliminary to the second annual county
contest in spelling, adding and writing
to be held in this city May 6, 1910.
This year the county superintendent is
better prepared to start work on the
contest than he was last year. At that
time the event was merely an idea tax
ing shape in his brain, his purpose being
to evolve some plan by which proper
emphasis could be placed upon the par
amount Importance of spelling adding
and writing in the country schools.
The second annual contest is far from
being an experiment. Everyone con
cerned- teachers, pupils and the
citizens as well-realize the benefits
which Biu follow and through this
realization its success is assured. The
county board at the last session appro-
priated 800 to aid the superintendent
financially in the work. The district
contests will be held April 10.
