WRITES LETTER
 TO MIR. DIXON
Thinks it Perfectly Awful That Mckinley Has Turned Down His
 Offer
.ISSociafcd Press Dispatch l

 WASHINGTON. March 1O.-Copies of d letter on the subject of presiden- tiaI primaries. written by Roosevelt to Senator Dixon. were given out tonight by Dixon. Roosevelt appar- entIy endorses Dixon's challenge to Mckinley. and scores McKinley's re- ply that he didn't favor changes in the rules of the game while the game is in progress" Regarding the latter he says
 The point of view expressed in that sentence contains the issue in the republican party at this time We who stand for the progressive cause. for the cause of honest. gen uine democracy. of genuine repub- lican government hold that a public contest between parties or within parties. is not carried on as q game; it is not carried on for the purpose of winning prizes for contestants or with a view to the personal wishes of any man. We hold it should be car ried on for the purpose of ascertain ing and putting into effect the will of the people so that the people may jointly do for themselves what no man can do so we'll for them. Our opponent takes the view this contest is merely a game. that the object of the contest is to win prizes for the contestants. that public office is a reward that goes to the winners of the game. that therefore it is a piece of allowable smartness to refuse to make changes in the laws during the progress of the contest, if these changes would deprive the captains of the political world of an advantage they now hold over the plain people"

GASSccidted Press DiSbdtchl

NEW YORK March 1O.-What is undoubtedly the oldest and at the same time one of the most important conservation movements yet developed in this country is now taking form here in an investigation looking to the con- servation of foot steps Unimportalt as such a project may seem at first glance, it assumes extremely signifi- cant proportions when it is realized that the footsteps wasted here every day are equal to 2.000.000 miles of travel for one person. or 730000,000 miles every year. In obtaining these figures it is estimated that every in- dividual in the city take at least one thousand useless steps of two feet in length each day. or 20O0 feet of vast ed travel. that is more than One-third of q mile. Even if the average rate of walking be placed as high as four miles an hour this means that New Workers throw away each day 500 0O0 hours in useless travel. or 1S2,000.000 hours each year. Reduced to working days of eight hours each this means that in this city alone the equivalent
 
 or 22.75O.O0O working days annually. Figuring on a value Of two dollars for each working day. fhe figures show that New Workers alone are losing something like s45.00O 900 a year for lack of scien,ifi, cOnserva ton of foot steps For the whole country the fig- ureS become so enormous as to be al- most incomppehensiBle showing a dai- ly loss of 36i.0OO.00O days worth s72S.- 100000 The amount of travel wasted throughout the whole country annual- 1y is 35.00O.000 miles or well over one third the distance from the earth to the sun, and involving the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of shoe leather. of course it is not expected by the originators of the footstep conservation idea that all this can be saved but it is believed that as a result of the realization of the enormous loss involved in useless foot steps a certain part may be con- served with a resultant profit in time and dollars.

 ventcr of the 400" issued eight years ago his book containing the names of the persons who according to his Standard constituted what iie chose to call the ultra fashionable peerage." has New York society been so rudeiy surprised as it is now. The surprise is due to the publication by deScen- dant of the first royal governor of New York of a list of new names. number ing 469 in all. which are supposed to include every one socially worth while throughout the whole world. Since McAIliSter's publication no one has had the temerity to undertake a simi- lar compilation and the new list has created more of a furOre in society here than any occurrence that has shaken the social walls in many years Wealth and good manners are the es- Sentials considered in the selection of the members which shall constitute the most exclusive circle of American sight of. but wealth seems to over shadow all other requirements for ad- mission to the charmed circle At the same time wealth alone does not sem to he sufficient. since according to the author there are scores of milliOnaireS' families seQueStered in the city who are living in social obscurity. Many aSpirantS to social hOnors possess all the requirements with the exception of manner Those who lack this one essential have been placed on secret Gt .f ioh step into the full glory of the new ''peerage" provided they undergo d tedious apprenticeship.

to at least one-third of the crop. He
deplored the practice of Virginia

farm of 80 acres was sufficiently
large for any man to work.
At the close of MIR. Sandy's adj
dress, Mrs. Laura NJ. Read OF Lynch

Read spoke from periencein school
fairs of Campbell county, and urged
that attention be given to this mat

they are inval Fable. She advised,
from former experience, that school
leagues be organized in tue various
districts of the county, so that inter
est may become widespread. The
purpose Of the fair should not be
lost sight of, said Mrs. Read, which
is to encourage better work and MOI
to give prizes, primarily. Her ad
dress was inspiring and stimulating
and was received with manifest APP
probation and approval.
