A SAFE PRESIDENT. ( If it is true that the financial interests in the east look upon the president as unsafe, it is a fact to be taken into consideration. It is far too important to be ignored, but' it does not follow that a man should be selected for president that they would eo; sider "safe. " It depends altogether upon what interpretation is to be put upon the Avord "safe." If by this they mean a man that Avill permit them to pursue their own selfish ends regardless of the law and regardless of everlasting justice, then the man they consider "safe" is the very man that the millions will consider very 'unsafe." And while the voice of the people may not always be exactly the voice of God, yet in this instance when the years and the decades of tlie future are to be taken into consideration, the voice of the people is far more likely to be right than the voice of the financiers. And the knowledge of the fact that these men are in doubt as to the president will strengthen him all the more among the people. As for the facts in the case we doubt that in the long run these financiers can afford to have what they would regard as the safest sort of president. Many of them looked upon Grover Cleveland as their sort of man, but the great majority of these same masters of finance paid a severe penalty for their faith in him nevertheless. They have short memories if they have forgotten this. At any rate exactly the man that we don't want is the man that would accept them as dictators. And in the end they themselves will find it so, just as they were informed recently by Secretary lioot. Evidently Mr. Root has peered further into the future than many even of these shrewd financiers. So perhaps has the president. At any rate he has the people with him and Ave suspect that the sooner these financiers set about securing the same support the better for all concerned.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Sun-Telegram, is giving almost a verbatim report of the -Bertram case. The" e-yuTehce in such cases usually attracts a crowd just like carrion attracts a vultm;e or swill attracts a hog. Good people are often compelled to attend such trials in the capacity of witness, juror or court ollicer, but that is no reason why an evening paper should intrude such filth into the homes of decent people. If the editor of the paper referred to, kneAV that such stuff Avas to be "dished up" to his readers and thought that it would please them, he placed a low estimate upon the character of the homes in Richmond and Ticinity. President II. I. Drown, of the Northern Indiana Normal school, has been much talked of as a candidate for governor of Indiana on the Democratic ticket. lie said, in a chapel exercise last week, that he believed President Roosevelt would be nominated by acclamation and that he intended to vote for him. This expression, coming from one Avhom the Indiana Democrats wanted to honor with a nomination for governor, Avill end his political aspirations in the Iloosier state, so far as the Democrats are concerned.

The Louisville Herald suggests a good campaign cry as "Roosevelt and Panama." This is a good one, a positive issue. It is characteristic of the Republican party to have no other kind of issues. There are no "antis" among Republican issues; they are positive and constrictive.

The county commissioners should not hesitate much about the construction of the south side bridge. The representative citizens and business men want it and the south side deserves it. When built, it ought to 1)0 f'r all kinds of traffic and for all time.

This column is in receipt of printed and written matter from The American Institute of Architects relative to tin: proposed location of the buildings of the new Department of Agriculture, protesting against the site selected for their erection on account, of the interference of such buildings Avith the original scheme for the City of Washington, as originated by L 'Enfant, the French architect resident-in this 'country at that time. The manner in which this new public building is to be placed Avill effectually preclude the development of the city on this plan and there is a strenuous movement among artists and others interested in the aesthetic aspect of' things in general, to restrain the government from this step. After many years of contest the Pennsylvania railroad agreed to vacate its premises and to remove from the "Mall" in order not to interfere with this motive in the city's progress, and it would indeed be a sad commentary on the personnel of the government controlling this matter if a public building should be placed

A long, definite and active protest should be made by all those interested and the way to do it is to address congressional representatives pointedly to this end. The circular sent out by The American Institute of .Architects says : "The influence of the architectural j profession of the United States has ( for many years unselfishly devoted itself to the task of securing the de- , velopment of the City of Washington j as a conspicuous example of our best I art, so that it may be compared with or surpass in beauty and refinement the capitals of Europe. The first requisite toward success involves a return to the original plan prepared by President Washington and P. C. L 'Enfant, acknowledged by all eapab!e,eritics of the world as the most dignified and noble scheme for its purpose er devised" - ' One of the most beautiful numbers of the Fine Arts Journal yet put out is the issue for March, its cover

design being .. specially decorative and effective. The reproductions' of pictures are also unusually good and the Avhole number is to be commended from every standpoint. This journal is not only devoted to the arts of painting, sculpture, etc., but to music as well and much matter of interest with reference to musical events is to be found within its covers each month. The March number leads off with an elaborately illustrated article on Albert Neuhuys, a modern Dutch pointer of genre, whose work is Avell known in this country, with a farther paper relative to this artist and his work entitled "The Art of Albert Neuhuys," by Mrs. Charles F. Gruppe, the Avife of the equally famous modern painter of Holland whose name she bears, and whose Avork has attracted so much attention in this country recently. Another interesting article is that concerning It. Russell Macnee, with many illustrations, and the art notes from various centers, the editorial matter, the book revieAvs and the extended musical department all go to make an excellent and readable number of this periodical. The recent sale of canvases by George Innes Avhich has been referred to here has been one of the events in the art -world, of the metropolis this season. There werj two hundred pictures sold, the whole bringing about $43.000, and this is an excellent record, after a fashion, when it is taken into consideration that most of the pictures Avere mere sketches. Mr. Walter Oilman Page, the Avell known portrait painter of Boston avIio is in Indianapolis for a few months, and to Avhose work detailed reference Avas made in this column a Aveek or so since, in talking with the Avriter recently spoke admiringly of Mr. Bundy's work, he having seen the pictures by the "Richmond Group" Avhich Avere in Indianapolis to be sent on to the World's Fair. While Mr. Page regarded Mr. Conner as a wonderful technician, his handling of medium being regarded by Mr. Page as remarkable for an artist absolutely unschooled, the latter still regarded Mr. Bundy as the superior landscapist. The sentiment, feeling, poetic interpretation and delightful color of Mr. Bundy 's canvases were specially referred to by Mr. Page, who regards it, after all, a decided advantage, from a certain point of view, for an artist not to have been under any particular master or a devotee of any school, as the latter frequently , destroys naturalness and originality of treatment. This was, of course, as to landscape painters. On Wednesday evening William M. Chase made an address on "Whistler and his Art" at the National Arts Club, New York. On Thursday the annual dinner of the Municipal Art Society Avas given in the rooms of the same club. The art of the cartoonist is one which appeals to a larger public, perhaps, than any other form of the arts, and it has a far greater reach in the education of the public than would, at first thought, be possible. For the cartoonist is very apt to be a trained artist as well as possessing those peculiar qualities requisite to the making of draAvings of this character, and as his workmanship is generally unimpeachable from the standpoint, of draughtsmanship, the public in the end, acquires a pretty fair notion of the value of line. The cartoonists of the Iudianapolis papers are Avidely known and perhaps the one having the greatest reputation is "Bowers" of the' Indianapolis Ncavs Avhose cartoons have made that paper interesting even in places where its politics, or sometimes lack of the latter, have (or has) made the paper innocuous. But the "NeAvs" has an enormous circulation and being one of the oldest daily publications in In diana reaches a Avide spread public and the famous cartoons of BoAvers have made him a name all over the countrv. Mr. BoAvers is also an in teresting talker on his art and gives illustrative lectures, or "talks," which are immensely entertaining. 11 Tiffany's" has long been a word to conjure with although to many it means only a place where one may purchase priceless diamonds and other jewels for personal decoration. The Tiffanjr Studios, however, turn out some of the most exquisite Work in artistic handicraft of the day either in this country or abroad, their objects in hand-wrought metal and lustre enamel being unique in 'design and finish. The famous "Favrile Glass," which is used not only in windows and mosaics, but in IioavIs, wises and other forms is, perhaps, their most renowned product, k and their AvindoAvs are, of course, famous. Two of their windows have been put

in place in thiscity one in the Public Library and one at St. Paul's Episcopal church. , v 4 MrJ 0. W, Collingwood has arranged a liuskin .Exhibition for the Art Galleries in Manchester, England, to be held this month. It includes manuscripts and letters, pictures and various Avorks of art relating to the life of Rnskin. While ' Rusk in is no longer regarded as a critic of authority, he himself publicly recanting many of his earlier heresies and taking an entirely opposite position in many vital points to' that he once held, still as one of the greatest aesthetic influences of the time in which he lived and as a wonderful, passionate apostle of Beauty in all its forms, everything that pertains to him is of overwhelming interest to the public. ''In. April the thirty-seventh annual exhibition of the American Water Color Society Avill be held in the American Ait Galleries in NeAv York.

Proper Treatment of Pneumonia. Pneumonia is too dangerous a disease for anyone to attempt to doctor himself, although he may have the proper remedies at hand. A physician should always be called. It should be borne in mind, however, that pneumonia always results from a cold or jfrom an attack of the grip, and by the proper; treatment of these diseases a threatened attack of pneumonia may be warded off. There is no question whatever about this, as during the thirty years and more that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been used, we haA-e yet to learn of a single case of a cold or attack of the grip having resulted in pneumonia when this remedy was used. It is also used by physicians in the treatment of pneumonia with the best results. Dr. W. J. Smith, of Sanders, Ala., who is also a druggist, says of it: "I have been selling Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and prescribing it in my practice for the past six years. I use it in eases of pneumonia and have alAvays gotten the best results." Sold by A. G. Luken & Co., and W. H. Sudhoff, fifth and Main. - CINCINNATI, RICHMOND & FT. WAYNE RAILROAD COMPANY.

SMALLPOX IN INDIANA. The latest health bulletin of the state board of health says: "There were 408 cases of smallpox, with five deaths, in thirty-four' counties in February. In the same month last year there were 880 cases, Avith fifty death, in fifty-nine counties. The. decrease is f0 per cent, in cases, )0 per cent, in deaths, and 42 per cent, in area invaded. Although a marked decrease is shown by tlie above comparison, it is true that 40S eases and five deaths are enough in one month, and in a degree, at least, sustains the prediction of the state board that the disease would remain in the state until it attacked all who are unvaccinated, if it took ten years. "The counties reporting smallpox were: Allen, nine cases; Benton, three eases, one death; Boone, six; Cass, one; Clark, thirty-six; Clay eighty-five cases, two deaths; Clinton, eighteen cases; Crawford, twenty;

"Finally I sent to McCaAv's drug store for a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm, at which time I Avas unable to use hand or foot, nnrl in one week's time was able j ' 'to go to AA-ork as happy as a clam."
