Let’s have one. ■—V—• The extraordinary session of congress is about to adjourn. They should; have done so a month ago. The session seems to have been called that the president might work through his pet measure, the reciprocity bill, and this done, he took his “things’’ and went home—that is to say he proceeded to frustrate any other legislation without giving any heed to how good or how necessary it was. The president will make a record- 1 breaking trip this fall, covering more miles than ever did the ’’strenuous one.” He will make some speeches ( and will be assisted by members of ( the cabinet, who will join him at.variout points along the route. The presi- i dent is allowed enough money to make these campaign trips. Nice, isn't it? If the chief executive can ( explain all the doubtful issues, he will indeed prove his worth. It took the center of population thirty years to get across Ohio; and its rate of progression is now even siow-, I er. In twenty years it has moved only j forty-five miles. We take this as a' promising sign that it has finally ( made up its mind to settle down in Indiana and stay there forever. We sincerely hope so. Indiana is a good i state. Political conditions are bet-' ter than in Ohio, and there is a great deal more literary atmosphere. Sani-, taria, which are said to be excellent for the aged and obese, are near at hand. We are decidedly of opinion that a center of population, which is now one hundred and twenty years of , age, and was bora in Baltimore, might, go farther and fare worse. Moreover ■ a locomotory center of population is a bad thing for any country. It breeds ' jealousy, boasting, sectional prejudice, real estate speculation and other ills. | It keeps people in the foolish way of i comparing their own size with their , neighbors’ size, and if the really important thing for a town or state were to beat some other town or state in population. We should like to have it definitely settled not only that the east will continue very populous and will steadily increase in population, but that the more populous and prosP .ous it is the better for the west, the north, and the south; also that the west, the north, the south will grow, and the more each of them grows—especially in genuine prosperity—the better for the others. indeed we should be perfectly willing to assure

MAKING PROGRESS CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE In taking up the right-of-way from the county line south to Portland, W. Laughlin has been associated with j L. A. Graham of Decatur, one of the directors of the company, the trip'be ! Ing made in an automobile. The route finally decided upon as | the most plausible in entering this I city is to leave the course of the G. R. & I. right-of-way Just north of the I 1 Portland Drain Tile company’s plant \ I and swerve to the east, passing the ■ ! factory building, and thence back 1 alongside the railroad and southwest i to the first street running north and | southeast of the Haynes Milling company's plant. At Votaw street the line will extend west to Depot Street' • and follow this thoroughfare to the . * intersection of Meridian street and south to the point where it will connect with the Muncie & Portland line. Negotiations are also under way at this time through which it is hoped to secure a tract of land at the northeastern edge of the city on which to erect car barns for the company.— , Portland Sun. o MEMORIAL.
