Items Gathered In From Far and Near Tha Ctmtnt Trust, From the Rochester Herald. Ia the last four or five years the use of cement in construction hai increased at an enormous rate. For the most part, it means permanence and stability. It promotes the conservation of tho nation's resources. This popularity of cement is due, in a large measure, we are Justified in claiming, to the urgent attitude which the newspapers have taken on the Question. It is somewhat disheartening, therefore, to note that their confidence has been abused by the cement trust, which has taken advantage of the increased use of this material to mark up the price In cents a barrel.

Cardinal Gibbons
So Cardinal Gibbons is seventy-six. No man of any faith can have seen that great old man swinging his way up Charles Street In Baltimore, his kindly eye open to all the world, ready to speak to the humblest without being a better man. And It Is easy to see why he is of right a noble in the Roman Church he would be a great man In any assemblage of men. In a time when religion and faith are matters outside church walls the faith of Gibbons has made great strides indeed as he himself pointed out the Roman Church has had greater prosperity and growth In this country than in any other a fact which may easily be Verified. That his broad humanity has had much to do with the effectiveness of Its growth is not altogether unlikely.. His work has been silent and unheralded in this country yet If the fact were known it is unlikely that few men of his generation would have to their credit a greater Impress on all classes and kinds of men.
Master and Servant Out in this country more than 250 years after England abolished monopolies forever the people are staggering under a load of such special . privileges, established by representatives and senators and judges who
betrayed their trusts from the people. Men have sat in the upper house of Congress for years without any pretense at representing a state. They were oil senators or sugar senators, or rubber senators. One who had a seat for a generation was notoriously the representative of the express trust. Our own state has conscientiously returned another to represent the Pennsylvania Railroad in the United States government. Philadelphia North American. And the interesting part of this to all of us in Indiana is, that thero is some little evidence being gradually accumulated that there are men who are at work trying to Pennsylvanla-Ize Indiana. To. those gentlemen who desire such work done we can only point to the work already attempted by such men as Mr. James E. Watson, Mr. James E. Hemenway and Mr. George Lockwood. These are men of proved ability. Back The man who goes out into the country and who sees the changing seasons, the mysteries of earth silently unfolding, the death of each season, giving place to the new, will have a shock when he picks up the printed sheet of the happenings of the world his evening or morning newspaper. Here are some newspaper heads clipped out of one issue of a metropolitan newspaper: LITTLE LAW LEFT FOR INJURED EMPLOYES

MAINE WELCOMES PRESIDENT TAFT ( Chief Executive Given the Glad Hand by the Yankees in Bangor. GUEST OF SENATOR HALE
TOMORROW THE PRESIDENT WILL RETURN TO BAR HARBOR GREAT CROWDS FLOCKED INTO OLD BANGOR. (American News Service) Bangor, Me., July 23. President Taft arrived here today and was gir en a hearty Maine welcome. That he was treading lightly, politically speaking, . was made evident by the fact that he made no 'political refer ences in a 6hort speech at the Bangor House, following an automobile drive around the city. Elaborate precautions were taken for his protection. Members of the United States secret service and May or Woodman went over the automo bile route before the president trav. ersed it. Mr. Taft spoke for about ten min utes upon his return. He told the people he was glad to see them and glad to be in such a fine place as Bangor. Mr. Taft will be the guest of Senator Hale over Sunday at Ellsworth. It is supposed that he will talk politics with his host but if he does the nature of the con' versaHon will not be disclosed to the public. Probably they will discuss the situation in Maine and possibly the United States at large. Returns Tomorrow. . President Taft will leave Senator Hale's home tomorrow on his return trip to Bar Harbor. He reecived a very enthusiastic reception at Bang or. This was the home of Hannibal Hamlin, who was vice president of the United States during Abraham Lincoln's first term and the senior senator of the United States before Eugene Hale was sent there. The visit of the president to Bangor was a great event. People flocked into the city by the thousands. It was a gala time for everybody. Mr. Taft came here from Bar Harbor on a special train and accompanied by the Bangor welcoming committee, Senator Hale, Governor Fernald,. former Governors Burleigh, Hill and Cobb and several congressmen were in the party. There was an immense crowd in and around the Union Station when the presidential train arrived. Mr. Taft was welcomed by a tumult of cheers and the blare of(the second regiment band. THE CHARM OF PRAGUE. The Ancient Bohemian Capital Full of Interest to the Visitor. Philadelphia Bulletin. The oldest of the old world memor ies Jostle startlingly wijh the latest eccentricities of invention in the magnificent spaces of Prague. Almost within sight of the railroad terminus the astonished traveler comes upoa the oldest Jewish synagogue in Europe with Its spreading cemetery whose latest burial was three centuries ago. The Jews are in honor in the Bohem ian land, for during all the sorrows of the czechs, the children of Israel stood stoutly by the patriots and died for a faith not their own, since it, for the moment at least, embodied the national aspirations. Hard by the syna gogue the curious contemplate with mingled emotions the clock of Prague memoralized in many a song and romance. It is and has been on the wall of the town hall since many a year before Columbus set sail for the "Indie" and came upon the two Americas. It is the most astounding of clocks, for it tells the time of the sun, and when the great hammer clangs, exhibits Christ and the twelve apostles sallying out of secrecy to the windows above, the cock meanwhile crowing and a grotesque comedy of symbolism going on. The wonder of tho walk or a ride through the Bohemian capital is that the lingering massiveness of the past tells the story of what was a great metropolis when Vienna was a mere huddle of hamlets. Far up in the air almost anywhere the eye rests upon one of the oldest royal edifices of Europe, the Hradchiu, associated with almost as sanguinary crimes in history as the Tower of London, yet it is to this day the imperial residence of the viceroy; the temple that for years renewed Bohemian youth in the time of the late Archduke Rudolph, who, by some curious complexity of contradictions attached the Bohemian race to him as no scion of the Hapsburgs ever did before. As the wonderful charm of the city takes hold of the visitor the marvel grows that this gathering of the ages that is in relics, monuments, palaces, churches and what not is unknown, while the commonplace cities like Berlin, Brussels, even Birmingham, are constantly cited for admiration and sojourn. The river Moldau alone passing under ancient bridges far sur passes in romantic suggestion anything that Paris can boast. To those afflicted with St. Vitus dance there is one attraction that ought to fill the ranks of the "personally conducted" crusaders abroad. The cathedral of St Vitus stands among scores of other grandiose shrines, and it is said that if the afflicted will but betake himself to the tabernacle In contrite faith his dancing nerves will be soothed and never "again trouble him.

Long worth, Like Taylor is a Fiddle Expert Some Gossip
BY RODERICK CLIFFORD. Washington, July 23. Senator Rob ert L. Taylor of Tennessee, some years ago "fiddled" himself into the governor's chair of this state and all during that campaign he was known as "Fiddling Bob." The title has never left him. Now, 6ince the adjourn ment of congress, a boom has been j started for Congressman Nicholas Longworth, for governor of Ohio. The Buckeye statesman has not been overj anxious to push the boom along, but I lit. tsnxr Vi o fhara micrht in ha ! no obstacle in his way to the gover norship, for, like Senator Taylor of Tennessee, Mr. Longworth can tickle a fiddle to death. Indeed the democrats of Ohio are apprehensive that the Ohio congressman may decide to enter the race, and if he should it would be an open field, for with his rich toned violin under his arm he would woo every delegate from his rivals and win the nomination hands down. Just think of the Buckeye statesman stumping the state with his fiddle under his ,arm. "Why" said a prominent house insurgent the other

day, "Ohio would hold top of column, next to reading matter in all the newspapers in the country, and the railroads would be giving excursion rates." Mr. Longworth is an accomplished violinist and can produce the sweetest music ever heard.
Representative John N. Garner, of Texas, acting whip for the deomcrats, is just the man for the important position he holds. He has a most remarkable memory for faces , and names, and he can call by name nearly every member of the house after having once met him. When asked to explain this gift of memory for faces and names, the statesman from the Lone Star state smiled and said that he could not tell exactly how he' did it, but he guessed it was only a trick, and that mo6t anybody could do the same thing if they only knew how. "You see," said he "all of us have our little peculiarities and when, you once see the peculiarity you won't forget it and immediately you associate the one with the other, and hence the face and name dawn upon your mind. Now I do not like to mention any other financial institution

names, hot I will say that I reeognlia . not a few of my colleagues by their walk, by the Intonation of their voices, by the way they wear their hair, and the shape; of their feet and hands. Then again I can tell who Is talking by the words used. Some men know a few big words and they like to work em off on every occasion. "Another point in identification is the back of a man's head. There is a strangeness about the back of one's head that a man with a good eye can tell a friend or stranger as far off as the eye can see. ' To fill the position of whip you must not only know all the members, but just where to find them when needed at roll call or before. And right here, let me say. there are many members of the house who do committee work who can al
ways be found when needed. And I am giving away no secrets when I make that statement. People on the outside think that Speaker Cannon has the gift for names and faces because he never hesitates to call a member by name, but the fact is. it is the able clerk by the side of the Speaker who passes the name up to "Uncle Joe." Yes. I will admit Uncle Joe is great when it comes to recognition, but there are not a few members who fail to get his recognition when they they think he sees them on the floor." The late Representative Walter P. Brownlow of Tennessee during his fourteen years continuous service, did not figure much In debate in the house, but he did constructive work in committee where legislation is framed. He was called the easy boss by his followers in Tennessee because of his good" nature. Brownlow took a prominent part in the national convention that nominated McKlnley for president He was the one who did the trick with the Southern delegates at the proper moment, altho.ugh H. Clay Evans, also of Tennessee who had a few trusty lieutenants claimed a share in the Southern delegates. Evans' friends, so the story goes, were working to have him appointed postmaster general, and it looked like he would enter the cabinet, when "Easy Boss" Brownlow rounded up some half a dozen Southern republicans and called on President-elect McKlnley and presented the name of Judge Gary of Maryland as the choice of the South for postmaster general. Mr. McKlnley told the Brownlow delegation that Mr. Gary should have that position in his cabinet. As may be imagined. Mr. Brownlow's influence in the postofflce department was good, and the Tennessee republicans, with few exceptions placed their claims in his hands. It was a common story that when Brownlow could not be found in his committee room at the , capitol. or at his boarding house early in the morning, there was one place he was pretty sure to be found, and that was the post office department. Some of his friends chided him, good-naturedly, with sleeping in that department, so that no Tennessee post offices could escape him. Officials of the agricultural , department say that there is no danger of a shortage of food stuffs in the United States for since the South has discovered a process by which cotton seed can be turned into a meal, or flour, a short wheat crop would not create an advance in the price of bread. Cotton seed meal, say officials of the department is a good substitution for flour, although it, has not the liglit color of wheat, but, its nutritive qualities exceed that contained ia wheat. If the men engaged in producing cotton seed meal advertised the merits of cotton seed meal and quoted from the reports of the experts of the agriculture department, which places that product in the front rank of food stuffs the - demand for it would soon grow to such a point that cotton seed would be a close second to wheat. in Eastern Indiana?
