J/.MES WHITCOMB RILEY
On Saturday at his home in Indinn-
apolis, at the age of 63, James Whit-
comb Riley, the Hoosier Poet, passed
away.
ple. There is
high esteem was he held that his
body lay in state in the capital build-
ing in Indianapolis for a time: that !
the common people mizht view the
face of their friend, Mr. Riley was
never married but he wrote in a vein
that had the right ring in “An "Ol
Sweetheart of Mine” wnen he says,
“But ah! my dream is broken, by a
step upon the stair,
And the door is softly opened and—
my wife is standing thera.
Yet with eagerness and rapture all
my visions I resign
To greet the living presence of that
old sweetheart of mine.”
A BILLIONAIRE
Perhaps, the first time in the his- ’
tory of man has any one individual *
been called a billionaire, and now that
appellation is being applied to John D.
Rockefeller. Many people know what
thousands of dollars are, fewer by far
what millions are, few still a hundred
millions, but to have 1000 millions, is
something that at present is decidedly
unique: It takes ten figures to write it
in dollars, twelve if you use cents. Can
one amass (hat amount without in-
justice to his fellows? Undue amount
- of profits in business transactions are
not without their stain upon the coin,
When one man is worth a billion,
there ought not to be any hungry in
the country.
STRANGE CLEANING UP
Each morning our main business
street has the pavement and street
before each property carefully swept
up and the dirt left to lie in piles for
the wind to blow about again or veh-
icles to strew it all around. On Satur-
days, just once a week, these rubbish
heaps are removed by men with
carts but all the rest of the week they
make our town look most unsightly.
Each person should remove to a ruh-
bish barrel at rear of premises or
“some other place, these collections of
filth that are a disgrace to the towa.
Such a condition would not be tolera-
ted in most places and some action
should be taken by the apthorities re-
‘garding same,
