The Old Settlers Picnic "The reminiscent first Inhabitants Will make that old road blossom with romance Of snowy caravans, in long parade Of covered vehicles, of every grade From ox-cart of most primitive design To Conestoga wagons, with their fine , Deep-chested 6lx horse teams in heavy gear. High hames and chiming bells, to childish ear And eye entrancing as the glittering train Of some sun-smitten pageant of Old Spain. Of stage coach days, highwaymen, and strange crimes. And yet unriddled mysteries of the time3 Called "Good Old." "And why 'Good Old?' once a rare Old chronicler was asked, who brushed the hair Out of hU twinkling eyes, and said, "Well John They're 'good old' times because they're dead and gone!

Newt Jenkins attended the auto races in Indianapolis Friday and came home with the impression that such stunts should be legislated out of business. The ducks have again settled down In the marshes and the waring elements are again peaceful and quiet Let everyone be careful not to disturb the peaceful calm and again awake the slumbering wild beasts and fowls. the T. P. A. have placed a tent In the Chautauqua grounds and the same Is opened to all members and their families. Any T, P. A. member or any one of his family is perfectly free to use the tent at any time. Any out of town merchant Is at liberty to use the tent if he so desires and will be welcomed by some one in charge. John Highley Is again able to be on the road after being disabled for several weeks, , He Is making only short trips however, as he does not feel able to venture too far from home. Every time a cloud, as big as your hand Is seen in the heavens, "Shorty" Bhreeves is seen to "skidoo" from the home which he has established In the Glen and make a straight shoot for the club rooms, leaving his family to brave the storm by themselves If it rains and storms, then he is in a great hurry to get back but not until the storm Is all over does he tear himself away. It's safer in the club rooms. C O. Tooker and J. B. Hegger have the Chautauqua tent in charge and will give everybody the glad hand that comes their way. We are looking for some hot times from these men and a reunion of T. P. A. members is being planned for next Saturday night in the T. P. A. tent. Don't miss this rare op portunity of being able to visit the two generals of Post C in their official headquarters. The countersign and pass word will be given out at the club rooms. Frank Highley while in Indianapolis yesterday fell on the sidewalk and austained a very badly sprained ankle. He was carried to a nearby automobile and conveyed to the station where he was sent home on the car. Dr. Harold, Post C physician, was called In and hopes to have Frank around in good shape In a few days. The following was received last night late, by wireless from the Chau tauqua grounds: T. C. Harrington, Press, Dear Sir We moved out to the Chautauqua Friday afternoon and our location is No. 409 Chautauqua avenue. We are comfortably fixed and had some visitors Friday evening. Expect a lot of T. P. A.'s Saturday and Sunday. Sun day we will not have accommodation's for all of T. P. A. but Mr. Tooker and myself will make room. So have all the boys come Sunday afternoon and evening and we will give them a warm reception. Our tent is the swellest ever seen here and all the passersby give us the glad hand. Give Took, the tent and myself a good press notice. Harrington, as we will not be In Sat urday to see the boys. but must stay out here and work for the good old T. P. A. ours. . . HEGGER. Later Come out Harrington and bring Quigg. Another one of our good members has passed from among us. Charles Land. ;, while not an active member. was aim-ays glad to be classed with the T. P. A. and was proud of his membership in our organization. We likewise were proud of having as one of our associates, so kind, so generous and such a genial person as Mr. Char les Land. We regret most sincerely his sudden end. A good T. P. A., a good husband, a good father and business man. What more can be said of any one. How funny some fellows business always takes them to Indianapolis
And Riley is right they are dead and gone, and with them those who made them. We of the younger generation must get their message from hearsay or not at all and nowadays they are few and far scattered who give pause to the days that were once and are no more "long and long afore railroads was ever dreamp' of." Despite their "good oldness" or their old goodness, whichever you may choose, we are far more self-satisfied than we imagine with this machined-standardized-joy-riding-geared-to-the-second pace. We can scarcely wait for the man at the other end of the line to answer his telephone, and we call up trouble at once to take a fall out of someone for wasting a second or two. Yet despite their lack of plumbing and steam heating the repose of the patriarchs led to a few persons in the community with an absence of neurology and extended journeys to the end of the world for health. Matters of national moment were more casually settled on cracker boxes than by the reading of the "Nation." And If they were settled some months after the event actually happened, they at least furnished material for conversation, which is cerftainly more than they do at present. It was this reflective attitude that made the civil war and the part that Indiana took in it possible as it would not be today. People actually read speeches political speeches in those days and thought and talked about them. An old man said not long ago "When I was in college I went up to my room to read Sumner's speech" and he said 'Sumner's speech' in just such a tone as a girl might exclaim about the latest installment of a Robert Chambers novel about the yellowest rich.
Down Salisbury way there is a plot of ground where once the War Governor of Indiana in the Iron Days was born. It was in the first week of this month that his anniversary went by unnoticed and unheralded. The town that gave him birth is not more than a pile of bricks and an old ruined chimney. " ' ' Some day
And what has this to do with the Old Settlers' Picnic you will ask? Only this that saying has it all "giving place to that which is new." A thousand or more of Wayne Countians attended the Picnic yesterday the real old settlers were memories only. And while the old settlers were perfunctorily remembered as their elders were remembered in the older days the old order should not change without some fitting memorial to its honor. Salisbury the dead town the first county seat and the birth place of Wavna County's greatest man should not escape the younger generation.
A Suggestion Now that it is all over we hope the management of the Indianapolis Speedway will pardon us for an .intrusion into their personal affairs with the suggestion that an event such as a head-on collision to test the strength of cars might have been an attractive feature, and incidentally increased the casualty list.
when either balloon races, auto races, or some other races are on schedule. Marion Shreeves was in Indianapolis yesterday on business. J. B. Young, of Evansville, writing in last week's paper, certainly hit the nail on the head when he showed to the state who was responsible for the growth in Indiana division of the T. P. A. Yes, Bro. Young, it's always the man in the ranks that is doing the work and fighting the fights. Most generals sit in their tents and let the boys in the trenches do the work. All praise to the many T. P. A. boys in the ranks who have always fought and fought well. May they continue in their work and keep up the good they have Started long ago. With the auto races over, and Wal ter Wellman gone in his balloon in search of the North Pole; with "Took" anchored to the tent in the Chautauqua, life in the club rooms is becoming very dull for want of something to talk about. The International Stewards Asso ciation will establish in Indianapolis a school to instruct pupils in the art of proper hotel management and how to cook a respectable meal. But where are they going to find the instructors? From a few of the meals we get over the road, a few of the teachers to be had better be pupils. However the T. P. A. is deeply interested and wish them sticcess. Cut out a few of the dishes made to look at and never to eat, and give us a good old fashioned meal like mother used to make. Drop a few of the saw-dust, shaving variety of breakfast foods, and substitute a few old things fit to eat and well gotten together. Then the T. P. A. will rise up and call you blessed. Notice If any campers at the Chautauqua become chilled these cool nights, hot air can be supplied by Hegger from the T. P. A. tent. WEEKLY STATEMENT (American News Service) New York, Aug. 21.

TOO MUCH RELIGION
Pastor Declares His Race Is Worse Off Now Than In Slavery. IT'S MONEY IN CHURCHES Philadelphia, Aug. 21. Asserting that the American negro was getting too much religion and too little education along practical lines, the Rev. C. D. Cooley, editor and promoter of The Religious Congress, composed of negroes, yesterday electrified his hearers in the Methodist Episcopal church, Bainbridge street, below Eleventh, by his comments upon his race. He declared that the negro was worse off today than he was twentyfive years ago, all assertions to the contrary notwithstanding. "The race has done nothing since the emancipation proclamation but build churches and talk about heaven," said the speaker. "We have put all our money into churches and have built no factories and no stores. We have no occupations that can give us status as men among men. "We are still a dependent race, and yet there are those who prate about what we have accomplished. The white man is carrying the negro race. The remedy for our present situation is to accumulate something substantial and stop speculating about the gold-paved streets of the hereafter. The trouble with us is that we shout around on Sunday and haven't any money on Monday to pay our debts." SAILS FOB ARCTIC (American News Service) New York, Aug. 21. With whistles of surrounding vessels shouting a mighty farewell the non-magnetic survey yacht, Carnegie, built for the Carslipped out of Teboe's yacht barn in Brooklyn today for a six months' cruise that may carry her Into the Arctic Circle. The trip of the brigantine yacht to Garner's bay will be m the nature of a trial trip to determine her acceptance by the representatives J of the institution.

HIS SPEECH TRANSLATED
AND THE PAPAL RULER RECEIVED IT WITH GREATEST INTERESTBELIEVES IT COULD BE REFUTED. (American News Service) Rome, Aug. 21. The theories of Dr. Charles W. Eliot, former head of Harvard University, regarding "The Religion of the future" are a blow at the foundation of Christianity and modern civilization, the Pope believes. It was learned today that he has had Dr. Eliot's speech, delivered at the Harvard summer school of theology, translated into Italian that he might thoroughly understand it. The translation, which was most accurately done, was read with great care by his holiness, who expressed profound regret that a man of such authority and culture as Mr. Eliot should spread theories that, he said, were not, in fact, a basis for the new religion of the future, but a negation of faith and the principles which were the foundation of Christianity and of modern civilization. Praise for Bishops. The Pope is reported to have said that it would be easy to refute and destroy Dr. Eliot's arguments, and highly praised Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia, Bishop McFaul of Trenton and other American ecclesiastics who had hastened to the defense of their church and faith. It is believed that a semi-official reply to Dr. Eliot's address on lines suggested by the Pope himself will appear in the Civita Catolicla, the most representative Catholic magazine. It is managed by the Jesuits, and Salvators Brandi, an American citizen, is the editor. IDLE RICH TO SAVE Wealthy Summer Resideits oi Newport to Rescue Town's Credit. TOWNSPEOPLE ARE ANGRY Newport, R. I., Aug. 21 Another squad of millionaires has been added to the committee which is to save this famous home of the idle rich from bankruptcy and wipe out the dissensions which have arisen between the townspeople and the cottagers. The Newport Reading Room appointed as its members of the "peace committee" the following: Lewis Cass Ledyard of the New York Yacht club; Henry A. C. Taylor, Robert W. Goelet, Dr. Henry Barton Jacobs and John Thompson Spencer. Business Men Name Committee. This completes the committee, for the business men of the city appoint ed their representatives last week and the Casino governors acted yesterday. It is expected that the peacemakers will hold their first session some time next week and start right in with their task of getting to the bottom of Newport's financial troubles. There are a lot of things behind the troubles. Probably the most immediate one is the fact that a lot of the rich cottage owners are very careless about paying their bills, and this ha3 made the business men anything but friendly toward the whole colony. In self-defense they have had to make up their losses by increasing prices to others, and this hasn't done much in the cai'.se of peace. Taxes Getting Higher. From the standpoint of the millionaires, a lot of trouble lias arisen because the taxes have been getting higher each year. The millionaires think they ought to have finer treatment, because they are the city's sole source of income. The townspeople feel that they could have things easier If there were more transient traffic, but they are afraid that this, in turn, would drive away their millionaires.

Occupying the most prominent place in a large collection of naval relics and sea pictures in a Washington street store. which is the property of "Billy" Wills, who was at one time in the navy, is a large model of a first class battle ship now being built for the United State3 government, the Alaska, which when finished will be the largest battle ship this country has ever had.

Newport, R. I., Aug. 21. Four policemen will guard "each roof in Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont's marble house when the suffragettes descend upon it for the big meeting Mrs. Belmont has planned. Of course Mrs. Belmont and the other suffragette leaders indignantly denv that the presence of the suffragettes make the squadron of police necessary. They insist that the curious throng which will be attracted by the affair will have to be watched even thougn it costs ?3 to get a peek into ' the house. By morning Mrs. Belmont will have completed her preliminary arrangements for her two womens' suffrage meetings. With the assistance of her private secretary and prominent women she is working hard day and night. A big tent Is to be erected on the

The guns formed one of the most difficult parts of the model, and were made of very thin cardboard bent to shape and pasted. The smallest guns, forming the saluting battery, and which, in order that they may he the more easily distinguished, hare been gilded Instead of being painted black, are about one-sixteenth of an Inch around the end of the muzzle.
