TIM BLAIR l:nrcArioNAl BuL
AND Constitutional. AMEND
MENr. Sometime since L. :.
Senator T.. X. Wilson showed
very plainly in an able speech
in the United States Senate
that the Blair Educational Bill
and Constitutional Amend
mcnt is 4 dangerous measure.
This bill, which is asked for bv
about six million petitioners
all over the country. proposes
that over seventy million dol
lars shall be taken from the
national treasury and be APP
Piled To the purposes of cdu
cation in the different States
under certain restrictions and
conditions prescribed by Con
grcss. Senator Wilson showed
that Maryland, under the pro-
posed law, would pay out more
money than she would receive;
besides. the measure was one
intended to cripple the rights
OF the States and increase the
already too strongly central
lied powers of the federal
government. The aim of the
Measure is expressed in the
following section
SEC. >. Each State in this
Union shall establish and main
tain a system Of free public
schools adequate for the cdu-
cation of all the children liv-
ing therein. between the ages
OF six and sixteen years, inclu-
sivc, in the common branches
of knowledge, and in virtue.
morality, and The principles of
the Christian religion.
The bill is still before Con.
grcss and is receiving a good
deal of attention Throughout,
the country. y western cdi-
tor sees religious dangers in
the amendment and. after quo
ting the above section. says !:
And that is TO say that the
|. 5. Government pledges
itself that every State cstab
fish and maintain the princi
Plies of the Christian religion.
This proposed amendment,
therefore, at one stroke. cstab-
fishes Christianity as the Ma
tional religion, because it de
clarcs that every State shall
maintain the principles of the
Christian religion in the pub
he schools. and the nation is
pledged TO see that this is
done. Therefore there must
be a national decision of some
kind declaring just what are
the principles Of the Christian
religion. Then when that de-
cision shall have been made.
every State will have to re
ceivc from the Nation just
those principles of religion
which the Nation shall have
declared to be the principles
OF the Christian religion, and
which the Nation will have
pledged itself shall be taught
in the public schools of every
State. In other words, the
people of the United States
will then have To receive their
religion from the Government
of the United States. There

THE OVERGAITER CRAZE.
Who Claim Right to Belleship
Wear Them.
Philadelphia Record.

girl with rosy cheeks and the dream
lest of dreamy eyes strolled down Chest
nut street yesterday as proud as pea
cock. She was very fashionably dressed,
and there was in her attire harmonious
blending of colors which at once
stamped her as young lady of exquisite
taste. But she seemed obliyious of all
her pretty finery, and, as was plain to be
seen from her frequent looks TO
the ground, was conscious only Of
dainty pair of russet-colored over
CATERS that encased her tiny
feet and the admiring chances of a small
knot of whimpering dudes, who ogled her
vulgarly, yet smilingly, from the oppo-
site side of the street. She was proud of
her CATERS, and she put each foot for
ward with vigor that showed it. By
and by another girl came along, and she
wore overgaiters too, and just as proudly
as her predecessor. The overgaitered
apparitions of charming femininity be-
came so frequent that a reporter who
witnessed the procession called upon
swell foot-dresser to inquire about the
cause of the grand turnout.
''Oh, it 5 all the rage now, - said he,

ins by cable.

who viii call for them this afternoon.
Here the dealer exhibited pair of
overgaiters that would tickle the vanity
of the most faStidious creature They
were made of very fine gray corduroy
and were fastened at the sides with rather
large and glistening buttons of pure
mother of-pearl. At the bottoms there
were delicate little straps that passed
under the shoe and were fastened on the
outer side with large buckles Of solid
silver.
When the girl comes, - continued the
dealer, ''she will pay me-but here she
is now. Good afternoon, Miss. Your
CATERS? Yes, just finished. Fourteen
dollars, please. Good day. That will
give you an idea of what they cost. OF
course the price could be much higher.

LAST NIGHTS FIRE.
A Hotel and a Drug Store on Main Street
Burned.

A Hotel and Drug Store on Main Street
Burned.
At 1850 last night an alarm of fire was
given calling the fire department to Main
and Thirteenth streets. The Fort Worth
hotel, two-story frame structure, was
in flames and the fire had reached to DIR.
j. L. Cooper's drug store adjoining.
Both buildings being constructed of
highly inflammable material, were
easy victims TO the fire, and the
hotel was soon completely burned, while
the Cooper building was damaged two
thirds of its value The loss on the hotel
was about $500, with insurance of S2500;
on the DIR. Cooper building and stock
some $4,000, with insurance of $1,000.
The agencies of Fosdick &
Furman and Zane Cetti car,
ried the policies. The firemen were
soon on the scene and did excellent work.
The fire pressure from the waterworks
was excellent. A portion of DR.. Cooper $
stock was saved. The fire is said
to have originated in the
saloon under the hotel owned by man
named Weiss. J w. Wray owned the
hotel building and the house was run by
Mrs. Mendel. Donaldson IS fruit store
was burned, as was the barber
shop of August Bader and the
shoe shop of a man named Schlusser.
The telegraph, telephone and electric
light companies lose considerable by
damage to their wires and poles.

SECTION EIGHTY-TWO.
What Two Citizens Have to Say About Its
Eject

What Two Citizens Have TO Say AbOut Its
Eject
The section of the proposed official
charter now before the state legisla-
ture, which provides that the city
council shall have power TO regulate
telephone, street car, electric light and
gas companies, fix the prices and revoke
franchises at viii, is creating
considerable discussion Petitions
have been sent to Austin
for and against this section. a promi-
nent lawyer representing companies
loaning money said last night that all of
the section but the part relative to tele-
phones was dangerous and injurious. If it
passes he SAYS no company could place
its bonds, for even the remotest posi-
bility of having their charges reduced
at any time would deter men
to invest in them Another prom
iuent citizen said that if
council saw fit they could under this law
compel the electric light and street car
companies to render services less than
cost. He says the adoption of
the section will stop all
enterprises OF this kind, but he believes
the council viii at its meeting Tomorrow
night investigate the matter and proba-
bly, change the sections.

1927, and was about seventeen years old
when the incident occurred which gave
rise TO the song bearing her name.
James Laurie, Annie's father, was a
farmer, who lived on and owned a

Dumfriesshire Scotland He hired a
great deal of help, and among those he
employed was man by the name of

have soil that cannot be surpassed in
growing wheat and other agricultural
products. We must now send all our
wheat TO Weatherfo- /, as we have no

completion of railroad will give us good
mills, and this will induce our farmers to

asked him for confirmation or denial of
his rumored resignation. Mr.. Newman
said: FThat have contemplated re-
firing from the railway business for some
time past is true, but that L have re-
signed is not true, nor have 1 ever dis
cussed the matter with the company
The report grew, doubtless, out of a
statement which L made to Chicago rail-
