IT.li States and now a prominent contributor to the magazines, leaves for tbe places on tbe map in Africa which have no names. , To Mr. Roosevelt his friends say bon voyage, come back oon. Mr, Roosevelt, however, has ome enemies in this country and we venture to say that the New York; World and the Indianapolis News will shed no tears at his departure, nor will certain captains of industry or the land thieves in the western extremities of ' our country weep at his going. s . All the possible changes have been rung on Theodorus Afrlcanus, the conqueror, we are Informed on the one hand that he will be eaten up by the insects and on the other hand that he will feast on lion steaks. And there are those who have seen the possibility of tbe sleeping sickness attacking the strenuous Mr. Roosevelt and so on, ad Infinitum. ", .The anxious public which, would like to follow the movements of the Strenuous One is warned by Theodore that none but his two-dollar-a-wori-versionS are correct, genuine,' and, authoritative. The name Roosevelt must be blown in the glass. The public ia informed that all else is fraudulent and gross imitation, insist on having it. Thus it appears that although Mr, Roosevelt has never been in business and it has been knoftyn that he. is the foremost advertising man in the country that he above all others has been able to grasp the commercial side of things. We wain him; however, that should he ever again seek office his fellow editor, Mr. William Jennings Bryan will charge him justly of being the head of a monopoly.in restraint of trade. That monopoly is the output of Theodore Roosevelt. It might be thought that some of the antagonism of Bryan's trust proposition on the part of the expretddent,' was because he wanted to control the monopoly of that trade and not one half of it, as planned by the editor of the Commoner, , v But the American people are anxious to bear Mr. Roosevelt's views on the snakes, insects and aborigines of Africa. And they, most of them,, in their hearts are saying "Good bye, and good luck. Come back and tell us all about it." And, if Mr. Roosevelt does not come back, he may In time become a solar myth. THE WHITLA CASE. If there be anything which forms a bond between the men and women of the world, it Is the tie of sympathy for the man who 'has lost a child through kidnaping. And thousands of hearts all over the country will be gladdened, when they think of their own ; families, by the news that the Whitla child is returned to its home circle. H is useless to try to express in words the feeling of repugnance that is attached to the -kidnaping business. Even murder itself falls Into a somewhat minor "and more accustomed channel, unless the circumstances be particularly brutal. Most of the states have stringent laws on the subject bat they are not as severe as those attached to murder.) Should they not at least be raised to the same power? For the anguish and uncertainty is a far more terrible affliction than the certainty of death. And the possibility of torture as has happened In most OI lilt? aiUUBUB uuijf ucie,uidia ug situation. More than this, kidnaping is always a cold blooded, carefully planned, affair while the most horrible murder cases are matters of pure passion, unbridled for the moment In a cold blooded affair the fact that there Is a death penalty in event of conviction wonld have the effect of, in

natilsH ia Ua report ami

seme way, stamping out the terrible crime. While in a murder of tbe most violent sort. awr both human and divine. Is obscured beyoneaIl recognition. - - 2 The Whitla case of course brings up the old question (which eaa never be decided because affection and morals come in conflict) as to whether it is better to pay the ransom and rely on catching the offenders afterward in spite of giving a pledge of immunity; or whether it is better to let officers of the law keep the matter in their hands and run the risk of having the child disappear for ever. What is the father's duty? All any one may safely say on this question is that no one can blame the father for doing his utmost, though it be the paying of a ransom to obtain bis heart's blood again. This may, and usually does, have the effect of encouraging crime. But what will you have, another case of Charley Ross? Remember that the United States paid ransom in the

early part of its history ,to the Barbary States until we sent our fleet and cleaned tbe pirates out. And so, until the police and the detectives have arrived at a state where there Is little doubt but that they will be successful you may as well expect that men will pay ransoms for their children. This being the case nothing but the most stringent laws will have any effect. Items Gathered in From Far and Near THOSE INSURGENTS. From the Newark Star: Seems that the insurgents couldn't insurge any better than Leader Champ Clark can lead. From Providence Evening Journal : It must be somewhat disappointing to the House insurgents to find .that they have amended the rules as Speaker Cannon wanted them amended. From the Chicago Inter-Ocean: The House insurgents at Washington ought to take a few more lessons in insurging. From the Indianapolis Star: Speaker Cannon doubtless thinks that Mr. LaFollette should do all his Insurging in the Senate, where he belongs. From the Indianapolis News: Cannon was simply reloaded not quite to the muzzle, but near enough for all practical purposes. From the Columbus, O., State Journal: In. the midst of all this confusion in the House, the desirability of attaching one or two slight amendments to the Senate rules has escaped without much comment. TARIFF TALK. From the Chicago Record-Herald;: Mr. Payne can confer a large boon upon the country by making the Payne bill a painless one. From the Cleveland Leader: . A tariff bill is not to be sneezed at as an educational force. It may be given the least possible attention and yet teach many people a good deal that they never knew. From the Chicago Tribune: Under the new tariff you will have to pay 50 cents a ton on your imported flourspar. Can you stand that? From the Boston Herald: The Payne bill appears to have met Uncle Andy Carnegie considerably more than half way down the pike. From the Rochester Herald: . The lumber lobby wants the tariff on lumber retained so it can "conserve", our forests. Of course. From the Albany Journal. The American people are eager to celebrate tariff - revision - completion day. ' ' From the Providence Journal: The original draft of the tariff bill places no" duty on coffee, hut instead taxes tea. Thus is the free breakfast table spared while that enticing dissipation, afternoon tea, is mulcted heavily as, no doubt, it deserves to be. TWINKLES Essentials of Oratory.

DECREASING FAST IS WATER SUPPLY STATES HURTY Subterranean Water for Drinking Purposes at Some Future Date Be So Depleted Can't Use It.

THEN MUST USE WATER IN SURFACE STREAMS Secretary of State Board of Health Tells Commercial Club Why the City of Muncie Cannot Grow. That the subterranean water supply of Indiana is decreasing and at some future date will be so depleted that dependence for drinking water will be placed solely in surface streams, was the opinion of Dr. J. N. Hurty expressed at a public meeting at the Commercial club rooms last evening. Dr. Hurty is secretary of the state board of health and has made a study of the conditions relative to the future water supply. He advocates conservation of the streams and says every brook ought to be lined with trees to retain the water in the soil. He would like to see a state law requiring trees be planted and providing protection for them. Address Was Brief. The address of Dr. Hurty was quite brief. He came to the city under circumstances that compelled his hasty return to Indianapolis. His wife is seriously ill and the doctor felt as if he is needed at home. He did not want to disappoint his local audience, however, so came to Richmond on one train, made his address and returned home on the first west bound train. His remarks were very interesting and showed originality. They placed facts before his hearers that will cause them to think deeply about the circumstances. There was but a fair attendance at the meeting. The speaker was introduced by Dr. T. H. Deris, a member of the state board of health and an intimate friend of Dr. Hurty. Dr. Davis took occasion to tell of the great work being accomplished for the state by Dr. Hurty and declared this state has reached a high rank in matters pertaining to the health of ita citizens, because of the faithful and careful work of the secretary of the state board. Muncie Won't Grow. ' One of the statements that most impressed Dr. Hurty's hearers was that the city of Muncie need not expect to grow much larger. Trouble now is being found to secure a supply of wholesome drinking water, and although Muncie does not advertise the fact, there is a probability- that the present supply will not continue for many years. The principal streams in the vicinity of Muncie carry water that is contaminated by salt water from the oil wells. The condition is true of White river, so that instead of making use of the volume of water in that stream by filtration for' drinking purposes a smaller stream that is comparatively free from pollution has been chosen for the supply. This stream is dammed and the waterworks system now is fed by It. Must Conserve Supply, But this stream can not fill the demand always. If the city grew to many thousands more population the additional drain would be too great for the supply. Muncie has sunk many wells that penetrate deep Into the earth. But too often salt water is found and this is worthless for drinking. The question then is, what will Muncie do? Dr. Hurty says the present supply of the surface streams that is fit to drink must be conserved. He would avoid useless waste of the water supply, also. Indianapolis was pointed to as another city whieh has had to face the water problem. Tbe supply from natural galleries has been consumed. A few years ago it was an easy matter to sink a well and secure a good supply. But It is different now. Surface streams have to be depended upon. It was necessary to build a filtration plant at large expense. Even now, all water served at the hotels supplied to offices and public buildings is doubly distilled after it has passed through the filtration process. , Must All Be Pure. Stream pollution is another thing against which Dr. Hurty is seeking to warn the public. He would have all surface streams in as pure condition as they were before cities and towns began to pour all their refuse and sewage into the water courses. He would have it as healthful to drink from a river course as it Is to sip from the babbling spring. The stream pollution bill passed by the recent legislature was advocated by Dr. Hurty to bring about this condition wherever it is possible. Anything that concerns money matters and economics is of Interest to the business man, declared the speaker, and he declared that every commercial man in the state ought therefore to feel deeply interested in tbe subject of the future water supply. It is the science of hygiene, the doctor said, that makes money quickly as it has for its purpose the conservation and perpetuation of human vitality. The human can not exist without water to drink. Good water makes a good man, but poor water makes a poor man and a poor man is bad for business, the speaker argued. Of Great Importance. : Dr. Hurty said tha ouestioa bow

Forgets Number of Autos He Has; He Knows He Is Broke

Chicago, HI., March 23. An "automobile guessing game," in which J. Herbert Anderson, promoter, tried to figure out just how many machines he had bought In the last year or so, was held in Judge Fry's court when the financier appeared as debtor to a judgment for $2,00t held by C. Frederick Grundy of Aw S. Lowenthal & Co. Anderson also told the court of a habit of leaving bits of valuable jewelry behind him in hotels. Anderson was sure, yes. positive, that he had bought but two machines when first questioned as to his assets. "Wait a minues," he cried, as the attorney for the plaintiff was about to pass on to another question. "I just happened to think of another one the third auto. It is now being held in North Dakota for customs. Funny, isn't it, how a man will forget trifles." not one that appears of burning inter est, but it really is of far mere im portance than it may seem. With some cities now facing the problem, it is evident others will have to do the same in the future. ' It is absolutely essential that the public health of future ages be provided for and no step can be taken that will prove more advantageous, when the time arrives, than the saving of the present water supply. The address occupied only about thirty minutes. It was replete with pointed remarks that teemed with fruit for thought. His hearers were im pressed by the picture the secretary painted' and all who heard him were made to feel the merit of the suggestions. Heart to Heart 7 alks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copy.ight, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye IS WOMAN DLD AT FORTY? A Chicago young woman's club has drawn the line of membership at forty years of age. When a member cresses that line she becomes an honorary member only. Is a woman old at forty? These Chicago women have partly answered that question. They fought valiantly against being declared old, but they were outvoted. Whether or not a woman is old at forty depends. It depends upon tbe woman. Some are old at thirty, others are young at fifty. It Is not true that a woman la "as old as she looks, for some mature dames, by ways that are cote and tricks that are wise, make themselves look like girls. ; A bright old lady of seventy was asked her age. She promptly replied, "Thirty-fire." Afterward she added, "The house I live in is older than that." Age is a thing of the spirit not of the flesh. To renew the spirit Is to renew the youth. Loss of spirit- Is loss of life. Old age Is loss of spirit. That woman who has lost tbe zest of life, whose youthful spirit has been dulled, is old, whatever her years. At forty a woman should be at her best. She has learned by actual experience tbe things of life that are worth while. If a woman ever learns the philosophy of life she has learned it at forty. She has discovered the difference between tbe real and the artificial, and only tbe real engages her attention. The woman of forty has found that certain things are bound to bsppen and that she cannot help their happening. And If she has learned wisdom she has made up her mind to take things as they come. The woman of forty should learn to look for the best of life. If she looks for the best she will find it. If she looks for tbe worst she will find that and grow old grieving about It. The woman who is determined to keep tbe fine edge of youthful endeavor and the fine flash of youthful enthusiasm will do it. She may be fifty or sixty or seventy years of age, but a gray haired, youthful optimist. No, a woman Is not old at forty unless she tries to be. And tbe recipe for youthfulness Is not dress, nor stays, nor cosmetics, nor wrinkle eradicators. It goes deeper. She keeps young in soul. LIVING AS JESUS WOVLD. It is easy to ridicule the movement of those young people of Cleveland, O., who undertook to live for two weeks as Jesus would if he were face to face with modern problems. Of the 1,800 who pledged themselves none .fully succeeded. But the fortnight of zealous striving toward an ideal was an experiment in concrete righteousness that was well worth while. To err is human. None of these young people attained perfection. Some, starting out with honest hearts, early fell by the wayside. Others persevered, stumbled on and did the best they could. It Is easy to say, "Tbe ideal was too high." All ideals are too high for human realization. When an Ideal Is realised it is no longer an Ideal. When one ideal Is reached another and higher ideal takes its place. And thus does each new vision lore to brighter worlds and point the way. The movement was helpfuL Hundreds have lived nobler and purer live because of it - -.;. Erery striving toward an Ideal, every effort for self betterment, richly pays tbe individual and the community. Cleveland Is a better city today because tbe moral standard has been raised. Even Individual disappointment la well doing has Us important lessons. Disappointment reveals je weak spots in character. . :

Of the other two one went over a bluff Into the river and the other went back to the dealer. Anderson said he had left a watch valued at $20 and a diamond pin worth $150 at a New York hotel. "Oh, no." he protested, "I didn't leave them as security for a bill I just left them there." Two years ago Anderson was commercially rated at $5O,0u. He said that he held millions of shares in various corporations. Stock in one concern, he said, was quoted at about 1 cent. He owoi a great deal of money Anderson admitted, but said that he had given his stock holdings as collateral on all loans made him and that he would be able to square up his debts in time. Household furniture valued at $3,000, he said, he had left in Seattle, where he has resided for a year or more. The furniture is in the name of his wife.

xne vital thing in this "Cleveland experiment Is this In trying to live as Jesus would under like surroundings a call was made upon the finest and best that was In these young people. They were crying to respond to tbe loftiest demand that can be made upon human beings. And whatever happens under that high call men and women are made better and happier by earnest response to such a call. We all have our dreams. But there are few of us who deliberately go out to make our dreams come true. That was the very thing the Cleveland young, people tried to do. They tried to do great things, not dream them all d.-ey long. Lt us who sre content to dream and hope and who are too cowardly to put our dreams to the test be slow to criticise.

Id Loncliuo . The child of today is the parent of the future, and whether it grows op healthy and strong, or puny and weak, depends upon the intelligence of its parents, for most children are born into the world healthy, but thousands become future weaklings between birth and the age of ten, when the Darents are still in greatest control.
