work' along broad educational lines are the May Festival and the Art Exhibit Both have been made successful through the bard and unselfish work of a comparatively few persons.

n neither project has the spirit of

personal gain entered. As a rule the appreciation due Buch commendable

enterprise is not accorded at least

by the people who are really the most benefitted. Perhaps it is not exagger

ating conditions to say that Indiana

polis musicians and Indianapolis ar

tists look with more wonder upon

Richmond's May Festival and her Art Exhibit than do the Richmond people

themselves. But unconsciously, if in

no other way, the Richmond people

are absorbing the good that has been done and still is being done, by these

very commendable enterprises, and it is also very likely that in a general way Richmond's sense of the aesthetic has been quickened.

OKLAH6MA THE NEW STATE. That in union k there is strength is '(exemplified in. ; a ;most ; significant " way jbyjtho admission to f joint statehood 'of Oklahoma and , Indiana territory, a measure now made certain by the taction of tho United States Senate In ratifying tho , statehood bill report Oklahoma is to be the name of the new state, which it is hoped will add dignity- and honor to the country. Neither Oklahoma nor Indian Territory admitted separately would make Itself felt to cny great degree, but

this alllanco of statehood brings to

Oklahoma a prestige In the way of population, wealth and natural rcsor- , ccs that will put in at once In the front row of Western states. Ray

mond, tho Washington correspondent

cf tho Chicago Tribune, says: "Tho new state starts in with extra

ordinary presage of good fortune. It

will be large but not too large, con

taining an area of approximately 70,

000 square miles, considerably more

than Illinois, but not so large as to

be unwldely, In view of the vast dia

tances in the great western country.

According to the census of 1900 Indian Territory and Oklahoma each had a population of approximately

400,000. This makes a census popu

latlon six years ago of 800,000 for the

new state, and it is on this basis that the apportionment of fivo members to

the house of representatives is made.

It is well known. by every one that

Oklahoma has vastly increased in pop

ulation and resources since the last i census was taken. There are now ; surely moro than a million people An tho i new. state, and there-is every

'indication that when the next census

j results in a new apportionment Okla

'noma will take comparatively high

rank In tho houso of representatives

"Under tho terms of tho compromise bill as agreed to by the senate today,

ithe capital of tho new state of Okla ;homa will be at Guthrie until 1913

The legislature to be created by the

new constitution will not have authorityto put up permanent state buildings at tho temporary capital. In times gono by there havo been bitter fights in new states over the location of a capital. Thero would be such a

fight in tho present case, and probably

it would lntcrfero with the develop

ment of tho new state. The two old

territories were nearly equal In popu-

tion, and town lot boomers and real

estate speculators have infested the capltol hero all winter in the hope of Inducing congress to fix a permanent capital In tho enabling" act itself.

Now, tho people of Oklahoma will

havo a chance to choose for them

selves, but they will not choose until

time has developed the direction of

tho growth of the new state, and in seven years the situation will become

so settled that the people can make

a selection intelligently and for the

best Interests of the whole state."

TIME FOR ACTION. According to the investigation of E. Lewis, of tho Indianapolis News,

there aro glaring evils near at home for Indiana and Ohio people to cope

1th. Mr.' Lewis' very thorough ob

servations, s it- appears, shows conclusively that bridge construction companies have been enjoying a glorious

cinch in Indiana and Ohio for several years past; that by a simple system of dividing up territory among the com

panies in the pool, a certain company

to get all the business in a certain territory, the other companies putting

in "straw bids," there absolutely is no

competition. Uulawful as such methods are, there appears to be no doubt that about half of the counties in In

diana have been held up in this way for years perhaps not in every bridge

letting, but probably in a majority of

them. For some reason not wholly explained there has been no official

cognizance taken of these unlawful

acts in Indiana, though in Ohio the Attorney-General with becoming alacrity has-been probing the evil to the

extent that prosecutions are to result Mr. Lewis points to Wayne county as

one of those in Indiana which has

been fleeced by the bridge pool. If

Mr. Lewis has had opportunity to

establish this charge, there undoubt

edly is the same opportunity for the

State officers to do likewise. If they

have not attempted it they are neg

lecting a sacred duty Imposed upon them by the people. If they have investigated and found that suctTan evil does exist but have for some cause or any cause failed to act, they are guilty of indirectly aiding the bridge

pool in its alleged unlawful work.

ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENT.

It is a fortunate thing for Richmond that It has some citizens who find time amid tho rush of business duties

to devote to the work of developing

the artistic side of civic life.

The government of a city can never

be expected to look after anythln

other than the material growth, and often this is not well done. But the

artistic side remains always for the

people to care for. What Richmond has achieved in this direction no other city in Indiana has been able to approach. Two results of tills

THE INFLUENCE OF ART

TRIBUTE TO T. C. STEELE

ARE NOW READY

FOR HIGH SCHOOL

Indianapolis Star Compliments Hoosler Artist in Being Awarded First Prize in Local Exhibit and Also Praises Richmond for its Work-

Editorially the Indianapolis Star of yesterday said: "Mr. Theodore C. Steele's rank as an artist makes it almost a matter of course that he should receive the Richmond prize offered for the best picture by a resident Indiana painter, but this new honor added to the many which have heretofore been bestowed on him is no doubt gratifying to him as a proof that he still stands first, and is a matter for pleasant congratulation. Mr. Steele's decision at the beginning of his career to cast his fortunes with Indiana instead of

going to the Eastern cities -or abroad

to accomplish his work, as so many artists do, has had much to do with artistic development In the state. His Influence has been strongly felt, and has been the inspiration of many students. Richmond Itself, with its group of talented men, working though they

are along Individual lines and in no

sense lnitators, is especially indebted

to this influence. Richmond art cir

cles are, by the way, very active and enterprising, more so, possibly, than In any town of the state, and their an

nual exhibitions are meritorious and

educative to an unusual degree; they

not only stimulate the art spirit in

the community, but confer a distinc

tion on the city. Art may not be a

paying Investment, so far as dollars and cents are concerned, but a gener

al interest in It is an element in the culture which money can not buy."

Ex-Congressman Bynum takes the

Bryan boom like a pinch of salt, so to speak. He readily admits that the

Nebraskan has everything in the Dem

ocratic party backed off the boards,

but apparently he does not think that this enough. As a conservative mem

bers of his erratic party, Mr. Bynum

indicates that he will not be found in the Bryan host of supporters and he

believes that others of the conserva

tive wing will take the same view.

Now that the city of Hammond has

turned over a new leaf and has decid

ed to become converted to the ways

of the Godly, there Is hope for every community in the land, no matter how

bad It is today. Hammond has been

notoriously open for years; a place where Chicago's sports could go as a last resort when their own city barred them out. Hammond has crone so far

now that a man who sells or buys a Sunday newspaper is liable to spend

a few weeks in jail. These spasmodic efforts at self reform as a rule accomplish little permanent good, and

very likely a few weeks hence. Ham

mond will be Jollifying on Sunday' in

the same old way. It was some traveling man who remarked that "at

Hammond one can get everything on

Sunday but religion."

UNIFORM BOXES ARE USED

THE SERVICE IS IMPROVED

Rural Route Patrons Have Complied

With Regulations in Wayne County

And in Fact all Over the State of

Indiana.

Recently many inquiries have reach

ed the postofflce department from In

diana, with reference to the depart

ment's attitude on rural mail boxes

In answer to these inquiries Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Degraw has given out a statement in which

he says:

"When rural delivery was first in

troduced as an experiment, and up ot

August 1, 1901, there was no require

ment as to the kind of boxes to be

used for the reception of mail on

rural routes, but patrons could tlnd

did erect any sort of receptacle for

the purpose, that suited their fancies,

and these included every conceivable sort Cigar and cracker boxes, oil and

powder cans, old boot legs, tiling, rab

bit gums and shingles nailed together, affording no protection from the weather, and were as unsightly as

they we're inappropriate.

"As a result of this condition, the

department was constantly in receipt

of complaint of losses or damage to

mail.

"It having developed later on that

the order of March 28, 1901, gave the manufacturers of fourteen approved boxes and advantage in their business

of supplying boxes, another order was

issued by the postmaster general dat

ed July 9, 1902, providing that in all

service established on and after Octob

er 1, 1902, patrons must provide them

selves with and erect boxes conform

ing to the specifications therein set forth and approved by the postmaster general as provided in the order. By

the terms of this order, any person or firm could secure the approval of and manufacture boxes, provided they

conformed to the specifications and re

quirements.

"Since the promulgation of this or der 19 Individuals and firms have qua!

Ified as the manufacturers of 299 diff

OLD MURDER REVEALED

SKELETON IS UNEARTHED

Brookville has a Decided Sensation

And Light is Thrown on a Tragedy

That Occured Thirty Years Ago in

The Town.

IPalladlum Special.

Brookville, June 14. The unearth

Ing of a skeleton in excavating for the new Smith Block seems to sustain

the old saw that "Murder will out"

William Dawson came to Brookville

In 1S52, purchased property and en

gaged in the jewelry business. He was eccentric and reticent to a marked de

gree.

His wife died in the early '70's, and

he selected another partner, but this

union was stormy, "as the new wife

persisted in maintaining close rela

tions with a gang known as the

"Canebreakers."

One June morning in IS 76 Dawson

was gone. So was his money. His

property and jewelry stock was left The authorities took charge of the property, pending a search, and eventually it was all expended in'th unavailing investigation. Whether he had been murdered or fled' was never known until the finding of a skeleton, supposed to be Dawson's, back of the wall of a former coal cubby, yesterday. As all tlu parties interested are long since dead, no official action will be takea.
