THE SMALLPOX SCARE.
"Wo sympathize with those people of
the town who are wondering where this
smallpox business is going to lead us.
' The truth seems to be, that it has
toon present in almost the same war, 4aflts and starts for several years and there is no more danger now than
.'there has been at other periods. This
4os not mean that the question can
I be overlooked and pooh-poohed. That Will do no one any good. If anything ' that will help to spread the disease and ' eventually lead to a quarantine of the
' town, that would not be present. It i.t as well for the people to j bestl: veniselves and say: "Look here. ,W know, and you know, that there are eases of smallpox in the town. We know that there is no immediate danger. But we know that if the cases ' Increase and continue to appear, that sooner or later you will get us into trouble. There has been, talk that things are not managed right. , There have been denials made. Nobody aeems to have the same idea about it. On the one hand we are told that the disease is being stamped out. We have been told this before and others Bay the conditions are the same now that they always have been at periodical times. We want to know the truth! Then when we know what is the-fact, we want every possible means taken to tamp out this disease. We know that you are moderately careful, but we also know that there are dew cases appearing. We do hot want protection that
Is sufficient nine cases out of ten. We want cases that are absohitely immune ten times out of nine. If you will do this, we will see that you are backed np by money and influence." There is no use talking, there has been too much criticism and denial which has accomplished nothing. There have been too many now cases of small pox. We Io net know who is to blame. lint wo suggest that an investigating committee of competent and capable persons take this In hand for the good of the town. If the health department has done what is best, let the committee report such and there wilt be an end of it If the department has not taken the proper steps it is time that the citizens of Richmond! know ii so that , they can be bettering the situation-. . .",. That is the only fair way of treating the (situation. : ; "'," You will, some of you, remember, that the city of San Francises ha been fighting 'the bubonic plague. The matter of keeping silent did not stop the disease and the disease ultimately hurt the trade of the town. Then the : merchants were all for publicity and active measures. The truth is far better than wildcat stories and assertions and denials. Let us have the truth and then there will be no danger, of hurting the town seriously. Unfair criticism of the health department will do no good but let us get to the bottom of this and start right. This newspaper will do anything in Its power to help conditions, which, while not alarming, have possibilities.
people from all over the state coming to a town. It puts back bone and good
manners in the foreground. We put
on our Sunday best. ' And' by continu
ally putting on our best front, we' in time come to regard that as the natural state of affairs. The more people who see Richmond, the better it will be for the town. We have few things to experience feelings of shame for and much to be proud of. The things we are ashamed of will change when we have felt that way a few times and our natural pride in the city is a healthy and normal feeling. Just at present there are few reasons why anyone should do that unhealthy thing called 'knocking
The announcement of the Indianapolis Star, that it will no more indulge in the 'exploitation' or the literary labors of Francis Augustus McKutt, of Richmond and of all the world, will
be a sad blow to those Indiana read
ers who are desirous of reading the
latest reviews. Think of having to read the London Spectator and the
American Historical Review instead.
That is the fate of becoming more cos
mopolitan than Indianapolitan.
' They have placed busts of four im
mortal vice presidents in appropriate
niches in the capitol. Only one incon
spicuous one is denied the privilege of sitting next to Fairbanks. He is
Mr. Roosevelt. It will be left in all probability for some enterprising per
son to figure out the before and after
taking. What a chance for the nerve medicine people.
Having expressed their opinion at
the polls that Taft is a man to be trusted the people of the United States are not as much worried as they might be by the independent republican papers who fear that Taft hag deserted the Rooseveltian policy toward Mr. Joseph Cannon.
"St. Patrick was a Gentleman And he came of decent people, In Dublin Town he built a church And he put upon it a steeple. Then success to bold St. Patrick's fist For he was a Saint so clever. He gave the snakes and toads a twist And banished them forever."
All honor to the day!
And what will Walter do now?
There are some people who think he is a consumate master of one sort without the degree of M. A.
Another county has gone dry. It
will soon be spring, although Indiana
is a bad place for swallows.
Almost a whole week has passed
and yet there are no casualties of the Cooper-Carmack trial.
RICHMOND AS A CONVENTION TOWN. . The announcement that the K. of P.'s from all over the state want to come here at a future date is a good sign. It is a compliment not only to the resources of the town but to the citizens. It points to a . condition which we have often commented upon, that there seems to be a new awakening in the city which is recognized by the people all over the state. It Is fortunate for Richmond that we have - suitable - accommodations in our parka. In our hotels, in our public halls and. above all that there has grown np a hospitable attitude of welcome which is not wholly coupled with the thought of gain. There la a distinct gain in having
Items Gathered in From Far and Near
Roosevelt and Literature. From the London Chronicle. Free from official trammels, Mr. Roosevelt has already made, his debut as a journalist in the New York Outlook, and goodness knows where he will end. For hit book about his hunting adventures In Africa, which he is sure to write, the ex-president ought ito get as much as was given to Stanley for his "Through the Dark Continent" and "In Darkest Africa," if not indeed as much as "" Macaulay received from Longmans for his history,, which was perhaps, the biggest check that was ever signed offhand to any author.
Visitors From the Provinces! ' From the i London , Graphic.- Notwithstanding the wintry weather which deprived many railway loads of provincial sightseers from reaching Washington yesterday the inauguration of Mr. Taft's presidency was conducted on a scale as impressive as it was imposing. The thermometer has been at some pains, to emphasize the links which bind this country to the United States at the present moment, but a more agreeable link exists in the, heartiness and sincerity with which Englishmen of all classes and parties associate themselves with the welcome extended to Mr. Roosevelt's successor.
Good Luck! From the London Express. The British people will be eager to offer their heartiest good wishes to Mr. Taft, who today assumes the high office to which he has been elected by his fellow-citizens. These good wishes would be sincerely tendered to every "American president. The common race, and, above all, the common language make us in this country keenly interested in the progress and welfare of the United States. The great destiny of the Anglo-Saxon is a common possession, and with Great

Throw Off the Grouch. Prom the Philadelphia Record. Optimism runs in the veins of the average American, but now and then his liver clogs, and blue fimk seizes him. It is not enough to tell him that all is well that the robbins are here, that the grass is getting green, that the tariff bugaboo will soon dry up and blow away and that billion-bushel bumpers in the shape of 1909 crops must be looked after. It is not enough to tell him these things, for he is going to grunt and crosk till he just naturally gets through his grunting and croaking.

Washington, March 17. No matter
what unusual method of taxation is
finally decided upon as a necessary
means of increasing the revenues, it is
going to have hard sledding in con
gress. There is a very large school of
"old-fashioned" statesmen who believe
I that the first step toward wiping out the treasury defictt, should be to re-

the case of a government is very different from that of j family. If a family's income isn't sufficient to meet its outgo, it is very desirable that the family income should be increased, but
it isn't increased by levying an aasess-1
ment on the members of the family. If the family income can not be increased, the only alternative is a reduction of expenses. Reduction of expenses, it is claimed, should have first consideration in the case of the government, for its income can only be increased by levying an additional assessment on the members of the governmental family. When senators and representatives talk in this vein, nine out of ten of them have in mind the appropriations for the army and1 navy. There is where they believe the cutting should begin. They believe the country would approve a considerable lopping off of the cost of the national defense. But there are other statesmen who are firmly convinced the American
people thoroughly approve of every dollar expended for the army and navy, so there you have it. Where Trouble Lies.. There is no denying, though, that party leaders in congress are very much afraid of special taxation. Either a tax on coffee and tea or a stamp tax is bound to prove more or less unpopu-

uar, and the same is true of an, additional tax on beer. It is admitted that all the revenues needed could be raised by cutting the tariff schedules to a point where importation would be largely increased, but every man who lo6t his job because imported goods had taken the
place of the goods he had been making would be converted into an enemy of the party in power. A good' many good people would like to see the tariff "taken out of politics," in other words, would1 prefer to see no division on tariff views along party lines. This will be achieved, perhaps, when there arises some more vital subject upon which the parties may divide. That more vital subject is not now in sight.
