Great cities and Bio Ones,
(TO BE CoNTINUED.)

A city can be great without being
big, and if one-half of the energy ex-
pended by chambers Of commerce
and boards of trade in booming their
cities were devoted TO bettering them
the results would be more satisfac-
tory, even from business stand
point. There are already a number
of relatively or actually small Ameri-
can cities to which people of means
are moving by choice because they
are desirable places to live in or in
which to bring up children. Civic
virtue is becoming an asset that the
shrewd business man will not long
overlook-F'rom the American City.

WAR ON HAT SALUTES.

Darmstadt Society Says It's French
and Unpatriotic.
"Why raise your hat?' is the motto
of the Society For the Promotion of
German Modes of Greeting, whose
headquarters are at Darmstadt. 1t is
q wasteful habit, the society urges, be-
cause it wears out the hat brim. 1t is
unhealthfui because in bad weather it
is apt to bring on colds. And, worst of
all, it is unpatriotic, for the custom
was adopted from the French, the first
nation in Europe to bare the head as a
form of politeness.
The true mode of greeting for Ger
mans, the members say, is the military
salute, which is of purely Teuton or
igin, having originated among the Of
ficers Of the Prussian grenadiers.
The society has gained many adher-
ents, and the inhabitants of Darn
stadt are now accustomed to see ED
erly civilians stand rigidly at attention
and bring the hand smartly to the fore
head when they meet acquaintance in
the street.

Long Conference ut Beverly.
Beverly, Mass, Aug. 1S.-For nearly
three hours yesterday President Taft
and Vice President Sherman talked
over the defeat of Col. Theodore Roose-
welt of the New York state republican
committee, Tuesday and the selection
of Mr.. Sherman over Mr. Roosevelt as
temporary chairman of the Saratoga
convention.
Mr.. Sherman said he had no inten-
ton of Withdrawing in favor of Mr..
Roosevelt, and he treated lightly the
stories that there might be a fight to
repudiate the action of the state COM
mittee in the convention.
The vice president also talked with
the president regarding the congress
sional campaign. He wants the fight
to be waged along the old lines.
"a straight-out republican fight on
the republican platform and the record
of the party, including the tariff" be
put it.
Taft to Give Keynote.
At Mr.. Sherman's solicitation Presi-
dent Taft agreed to point the way in
the campaign by writing letter which
is to be made n part of the campaign
text book of the republican committee.
While the fight apparently is to be
directed along the lines of the past, 1t
can be said authoritatitvely that the
feature of the party reorganization
plans which calls for the retirement of
Speaker Joseph Quincy Cannon will
be strictly adhered to.
It is even said that Mr.. Sherman,
one of the stanchest supporters the
speaker ever had, has become recon
ciled to the fact that Mr. Cannon
must go.
VIII BE Disowned.
A statement is being prepared in
quarters close to the administration in
which the attitude recently taken by
Mr. Cannon in public interviews will
be deplored and in which it will be
made plain that therejs no thought on
the part of many of his former sup
porters again to name Mr.. Cannon.

The addition Of the cornice during
the last few days has rounded out
the architectural lines of the build
ing, the beauty of which is attract
ing many visitors who invariably ex-
press admiration for the manner in
which the building is being construct
ed. The thoroughness of the work
is the subject of general comment,

buildings of it's style assert that the
cost will not be far short of 100000
when the library is completed.
There is not as fine a building in
any of the three Cities" declared a

Red tile is being used for the roof
