Items Gathered in From Far and Near

Conserving Niagara. Prom the Chicago Record Herald. The movement for conservation based on economic grounds should not lead us to neglect a corresponding movement based on esthetic grounds. Next in importance to preserving a Rood thing cornea the preservation of the looks of a good thing. The work of the committee concerned with the scenic aspect of the Niagara river gives promise that the movement which began with the creation of national and state parks may soon be completed by the removal of the factories, power-houses and trolley lines that still disfigure the scene. The plan of this committee, as recently laid before the secretary of war, contemplates that the whole American shore below the Niagara gorge shall become, in its turn, a national reservation, and that the trolley line which gives access to the "scenery" shall become less a part of it by being shifted so as 'to follow a less conspicuous route. Few of jus realize how big Niagara bulks in the eyes of cultivated travelers from abroad. With many of theso Niagara Falls are . the cardinal point in the American trip. The better we treat the greatest and most accessible of our natural wonders the better justice shall we be doing out esthetic sense and the better standing shall we enjoy in the sight of intelligent visitors.

A Useful Lesson. From the Philadelphia Press. I One of the most inspiring object lessons of the day in the matter of personal vigor and concentration of purpose is afforded by the spectacle of the noted pedestrian, Edward Payson Weston, in his effort to walk from oceau to ocean in 100 days. It will be remembered that on the westward trip he undertook the same task, but owing to the lateness of the season and the consequent fall of snow and generally unfavorable weather conditions, he failed in his object by about six days. Notwithstanding his failure to complete the distance in the

allotted time, his performance was a grand exhibition of strength and nerve on the part of the aged athlete, who yesterday completed the seventy-second year of hl3 age. lie is now in Kansas on the return trip and is over seven days ahead of his schedule. ' At Weston's age men in general consider themselves past the stage of active effort at least, active physical effort but this example causes us all to stop and consider the moral as applicable to ourselves.

Many Offers of a Job. From the Chicago Record-Herald. One thing may be regarded as settled. T. R. will not have to look through the "Wanted Male Help" columns for the purpose of finding a job when he comes home.

The House Rules. From the Baltimore Sun. The House took Uncle Joe at his word about being the author of its own rules.

TWINKLES

(By Philander Johnson)

The Exacting Public. "You borrowed some of your epigrams word for word!" "Yes," replied the busy author; "you can't please people. If I had changed the phraseology I would have been criticised for misquoting."

As Glory Goes 'Round. Oh, fame is like a barber's chair. You wait your turn with patience vexed, And scarce get placed in comfort there Ere it's jour move. Fate hollers -next!-

Modified Approval. You have always had the highest respect for the will of the majority." 'Ye. replied the eminent statesman; 'but every now and then a will terns up with the most unreasonable codicils.

UNMENTIONABLE. The garden hose is a great institution and should be more used as everyone with a throat full of dust will agree. The man, woman or child that has not suffered from the dust may have a recipe for his protection that the rest of us haven't. But lacking that, the town is suffering in the immediate meantime.

There are two solutions for the future: contract water sprinkling and application of oil. The contract sprinkling idea is the most feasible plan at present and ought to be carefully looked into. It means a square deal for the whole town. You may do your duty on sprinkling the man across the street may have his eye on his water meter and his bill.- Now right here with a long summer staring us in the face, some step ought to be taken and taken soon. Year before last our mouths were stopped with dust in that season of the great drouth.

In the meantime attach the garden hose and do not wait for a rain. If the water bill goes up, remember that this can be saved by modern methods. Continuous mention of the dust needs no apology but the best comment that can be made is what you say every time you walk on the street. The comment is only mentionable as unmentionable.

THE GREAT MAJORITY. "In attempting to define what Representative Barnard jnust and must not do in order to establish himself as an Insurgent and authorized to work and travel as such, the Richmond Palladium makes a glittering display of silliness. The Palladium needs to be told that in assuming to represent a small coterie of disgruntled politicians, at Richmond, it does not speak for the majority of the Republicans of Richmond or Wayne county. Mr. Barnard does not have to prove that he is an insurgent, for, as he well expressed it himself, he is "a Republican, not an-insurgent." His course during the great fight was perfectly consistent and shows him to be in accord with the great majority of his constituents." The New Castle Courier. The Courier, of course. Is right on the ground and is in a position to know what it is talking about. The evidence that the Courier produces as to Mr. Barnard's Insurgency is indisputable and will doubtless be satisfactory to Wayne County Republicanswho in the last election were indeed "the great majority of his 'constituents."

STEP UP.

Some one in the audience signing himself "A Stalwart," is good enough to send in his views of the Republican situation in Indiana. This paper would like to have the pleasure of presenting them to its readers. Unfortunately, a necessarily fixed rule prevents our printing this interesting communication until he reveals his identity to this paper, (his name will not be used if he expresses such a wish.) Our friendly contributor neglected (no doubt by an oversight) to sign his views, which may prove interesting to our readers. If "A Stalwart" has the courage of his convictions to the extent of uncloaking his anonymity, we shall be pleased to print his article.

Saint Paul, Minn.. March 23,-The first conservation congress to be held in any of the states definitely commits Minnesota to the immediate spread of agricultural education to the rural districts, to the agricultural rather than the classical education of the children of farmers, to waterways improvements under state supervision and control, to state aid for internal Improvements to a state soil survey and agricultural census and to a one mill general tax for the construction of roads, which will give Minnesota one of the greatest rural road funds in the United State. The congress declares for a minimum appropriation of S100,000 a year for 6tate advertising and has taken an advanced stand on many purely state questions. The Judgment

of the congress is backed by the 4,000 practical farmers, all selected men. and the 1,500 business men who attended

Governor Eberhart as president, It works in close touch with the state

The congress Just closed drew an attendance at its various meetings of 27,500 while 53.500 people viewed the immense exhibits gathered on brief notice and exemplifying the enormous agricultural wealth of the state. It was a farmers meeting, largely, with the best farmers of every township in Minnesota's S4.(H square miles of territory present in Saint Paul. Men of

national prominence appeared on the program and through four days of continuous sessions the attendance held undiminished while Questions of saving natural resources, preventing waste and conserving human life in Minnesota were discussed.
