There continues to be consid-
cradle interest in the question OF
an international exposition to
celebrate the completion of the
interoceanic canal at Panama.
New Orleans, San Diego, San
Francisco, Los Angeles and
Washington are all reaching out
for the exposition. Consid-
erable rivalry is already appar-
ent and these five cities are look
ing toward Congress for money.
Congress has had much expert
ence with expositions at Phila-
delphia, Chicago, St. Louis, Buff
falo, New Orleans and Seattle.
All these were in a sense pro-
vincial expositions. 1t is time
and meet that we should have a
distinctively National exposition.
The city of Washington has
reached that degree of expansion
and prominence that even II 1t
were not the capitol of the coun-
try, it would be entitled to cele.
brate an event so emphatically
national. It is time that the
European and Asiatic world, and
I may say the American world
also. should learn that there is a
capital of the United States. The
government at the capital should
celebrate the most stupendous
accomplishment in the completion
of the greatest work ever under
taken by man. There is but one
logical place for such celebra-
ton. It can be held at Washing
ton at one-half the expense, not
only to the nation, but to the
hundreds of thousands that will
visit it, as compared with the
other cities mentioned. The for
eign countries that will send ex-
hibits of art and manufactures
to the exposition can do it more
effectively end economically by
landing them at Washington
than by sending them across the
continent to San Francisco OF
Los Angeles, or by the Gulf tt
New Orleans.

Washington Letter.
Washington, April %.

Washington, April %
The past week has furnished
nothing startling from a legisla.
tive or an executive point of view
at the capital of the United
States. But there is not the
slightest abatement of interest
in the political situation which is
seriously discussed wherever
men of information and promi-
nence in political affairs come to-
gether. The election of Havens,
Democrat in New York. to sue
ceed Perkins, Republican, de-
ceased, and this election revers-
ing 10000 Republican majority
by a 5000 Democratic majority,
practically changing Is, 600 votes,
is regarded as extremely signifi-
cant Of: general dissatisfaction
with the national political situa-
ton and program. AS far as can
be discerned, the dissatisfaction
is mainly with the tariff bill of
the special session and the Pres
ident's persistent approval OF it.
It seems to be in vain that Sena-
tor Aldrich and Representative
Payne and the President point to
the fact that the revenues of the
government are increasing and
that there is fair prosperity un-
der the present tariff. The elec-
tion in New York coming so
quickly upon the heels of Foss's
victory in Massachusetts, is re-
garded as indicative of a nation
wide movement which some say
only Roosevelt can stem. Others
ask, "Will Roosevelt be able to
stem it? Will he not rather joint
it," Time alone can tell. 1t is
certain that the country is follow
ing the triumphant procession of
Roosevelt in Europe more closely
than the stand-pat attitude of the
President in Washington.

law, and has the courage of his
convictions. The law plainly for
bids base ball playing on the first
day of the week commonly called
Sunday, There is room for diff
erence of opinions as to the moral
quality of the Sunday playing
but there can be none as to the
Ohio law in the case. And hence
the effort to change the law so
as to allow communitive local
option as to the keeping of it.
Had the legislature the right
to grant this? Plainly they had
not? So thought Governor Har-
: mon, in which opinion there is a
general concurrence. Law max
ers have no power or right to
authorize law breaking. If they
have they could legalize horse
stealing, polygamy, or any other
violation of state law.
Local option in such matters is
not proper. Either repeal the
law or have it observed. The
Sunday law of Ohio can be
changed if necessary, but to keep
it on the statute book and then
authorize citizens to break it If
they want to is a piece of legls=
lative folly. No political party
in Ohio would venture to repeal
the Sunday law because of the
dread of popular condemnation
at the next election. And no
legislature should make keeping
the law contingent on local op-
ton.
There shall be no option as to
observing the law or breaking it.
If this principle were adopted
in some localities theft would be
legalized, in other places poly
gamy, and what sort OF govern
ment would we have in that
case?
To be sure there is local option
as to granting permission to sell
intoxicants, but there is none
against the personal use of liquor.
Selling whisky is simply per-
mission of the state, and the
!, state that permits may also for
bid, or it may allow counties,
townships, municipalities to for
bid the traffic within theirrespect-
i've bounds. Such forbidding
violates no state law. But Civ
ing people the option on keeping
or disregarding a state law is
different matter as the Governol
clearly states.

Yesterday morning Rev. A. E.
Day preached in our Methodist
church in accordance with the
request of our State Board of
Health, a sermon on the subject
of tuberculosis, which was very
much appreciated and generally
approved. If the latter feature
should be sustained with manner
of living the sermon would have
some practical benefit and the
white plague greatly reduced in
it's effect among the people. The
speaker was of opinion that very
much could be done by the peo-
pies manner of life in helping
the physician to stamp out the
disease, and improve the well
being of the people. 1t remains
to be seen what may be done to
mitigate its ravages. The news
papers inform us that the Minis
ters generally responded to the
request made by the Board of
Health. 1t will be well, without
doubt, to use all practical means
for the betterment of the gener-
al health. While effort is made
to mitigate the ravages of this
disease, benefits will be realized

On last Sunday morning we

NEW YORK; DEMOCRATS NEED
MONEY,

The Democratic state Committee OF
New York has issued very modest APP
peal for contributions to the Demo-
cratic campaign fund in that state
This appeal is made ito the citizens
of the State, regardless of party. on
the ground that there are issues in
this fight which so transcend IN i'm
portance all party ties and so aftec'
all who place patriotism above party
as to justify and require the giving
of an opportunity to all to share in the
work and have credit in the triumph"
Continuing the committee say:
The menace of Rooseveltism and his
new nationalism hangs like pail over
the State, paralyzing industry and de-
rtroying business confidence which
have already been injared hy the waste
full and eXtraTagant expenditures OF
public money in State and nation, and
by the corruption laid bare in official
life at Albany.
Democratic victory will mean the re-
storation of confidence, an end to ex-
travagance and the return of business
methods. with tranquility and order to
the transaction of public business.
Under these conditions we appeal
confidently for help to all the people
of the state.
1t was reported last week that Andy
Carnegie had contributed $4,000 to
the Democratic campaign fund; but
Secretary Mason said on Monday: II

Harris Club; we know nothing about

to know If $4,000 checks are hunting

take her to be. she will hurry around

THE GREAT nEroRM.

Interest in good roads does not
abate. either in Virginia or the other
States of the South. A casual perusal
Of the press of this part of the
nation proves that all interesting good
roads articles and good roads editorial
expressions are copied in full In a
majority of the papers, and there are
the most impressive signs of the fact
that this mighty reform has a tighten
Ing grasp upon the different States in
which the movement has once been
started.
highways, we hope that none of our
contemporaries will let up minute
in the fight. What has already been
done in Virginia in the good roads re-
form has been excellent but in order
to keep step with other Southern
States we must continue ceaselessly
the campaign for better highways,
Is the good roads question live
one? Are other States taking an in
terest in It?
The other day a great convention
met at Birmingham and delegates from
almost every community In Alabama
We're there. eager to learn more about
good roads. To this meeting in the
cause of better roads not only came
an army of interested delegates, but
also two-thirds OF the Legislature OF
the State. The people out there are
intensely worked UP about good roads,
and they are not going to rest until
they have them.
Calling this convention one Of vast
signifcance'-and rightly so--the Bir-
mingham News said editorially:
There is no subject before the peo
pie of Alabama to-day that has a
of the State than this matter of good
roads. 1t is a physical impossibility
for any people to advance rapidly
either intellectually or materially
without the means of intercomnluni-
cation. and the better the means the
more rapid the advance. II the chill
dren of the state are to be educated
and are TO reap the benefits that come
by reason Of contact with the forces
and influences that MAKE FOR advance
ment, this end must be accomplished
through the construction of good
roads. If the farmers of Alabama are
to prosper, are to get the fullest re-
turns upon the LABOR they expend upon
the soil, they must be brought into
close touch with the consumers, an
end impossible without good roads. If
the people as whole are to advance
In proportion to their opportunities 1t
must inevitably be through the con-
struction of improved highways.
The name being changed, this APP
plies with equal force to Virginia. The
issue is live. 1t vitality concerns the
welfare OF the people. their comfort,
their happiness, their prosperity 1t
is great reform, and too much can
not be said in It's favor.
