Not a Question Of RIGHTS

EDITOR ADvoCATE: The prohibitory
amendment to the Constitution should be
cleared of all antiquities and complications.
First. 1t is not question of temperance.
A man may be absolutely sober and self
controlled and yet not be prepared to punish
an old woman with fine or imprisonment
who makes little wine.
Second. 1t is not question of total
abstinence. A man may think it well to
be total abstainer and advise others to
initiate his example and yet not think 1t
proper to endeaYor to force total abstinence
upon Others by law.
Third. 1t Is not question of restricting
the evils of the liquor traffic. A man may
as sincerely seek to do this by High License
as by Prohibition.
Fourth. 1t is not question of suppress
sing the saloon. The people, If they con-
slider saloons nuisance, have power, by
electing a Legislature like-minded, to sup
press them by law, leaving to the well-be-
haved citizen reasonable liberty to pur-
chase, under wise restrictions, what he
pleases.
Fifth. 1t is not even question OF a
prohibitory law. That can be passed by
the Legislature at any time; has been en-
acted in several States before prohibitory
amendments were ever thought of. Ques-
tions of public policy should be treated of
in statutory law, not In fundamental law
The first can be altered or amended as ex-
perience and observation may suggest; the
latter is changed with difficulty, is rigid,
and If found impracticable becomes dead
letter, and so the fundamental law itself is
brought into contempt.
Sixth. 1t is not question of popular
rights. 1t is not true that when any num-
Der of persons demand an amendment to
the Constitution il ought, for that reason,
to be submitted to the people. That is not
the theory of our constitutional govern
ment Senators and representatives are
professional agents." They are bound in
in all things to act upon their own honest
Judgment of what Is proper, right and for
the public good; If their constituents are
/ NV PAS~oN0 Vhh bhSA bucy CdIl At
the next election displace them and choose
Others whose opinions are known TO be
different.
The real question Is this: Is 1t wise to
incorporate in the fundamental law OIL
Constitution specific provisions on subjec
properly belonging to the sphere of statute
law? If so, where shall we stop?
And, is 1t wise to attempt by such an
amendment to coerce large minority Ito
say the least) into submission TO the views
of Prohibitionists in regard to alcoholicsp
Without any such innovations and ex-
periments pulsaDees can be abated, the
liquor traffic restricted and regulated and
saloons abolished-lf the people choose.
This can be done without engraftine
principles of Turkish despotism on the

large clock like machines which stand on |
iron posts about seven feet high. These are
apt to puzzle the most intelligent at first |
sight, but their use is plainly made visible
when closely observed. 1t is to tell the
engineer of train how many minutes the
preceding train is head of him, and he
thereby knows whether to slacken or quick
en- his pace. The face of the queer looking
clock is about eighteen inches in diameter,
and on it there are numbers marking the
minutes from one to twenty-five, 1t has
only one hand, and it works on the same
plan as an ordinary clock. A sort of lever
runs through the iron post and is fastened
to the railroad track so that passing train,
pressing on the track moves the lever and
the hand of the clock fys back to Zero"
1t then goes like an ordinary clock, and it
is SO stationed that the engineer can see
how many minutes have elapsed since the
passing of the last train.

Development Of the Skull.
Chicago Times.

Chicago Times.
Mr.. Digit, professor of anatomy
in the American college ut Beirut,
Syria, gives some very interesting
results of his examination of O col.
lection Of human skulls which are
stored away in an old monastery in
the kedron valley, midway between
Jerusalem and the Dead sea. He
has made q careful comparison of
these skulls with those of the same
race at the present day, and finds
some significant differences. The
Caucasian skull has during the last
thirteen centuries increased in CIR
conference nearly two inches, and
has gained considerable in cranial
capacity. There has been no in
crease in width. The brain has
gained in height and width. e.,
there has been a development of the
upper and anterior parts of the
brain, heparts which we should ex-
pect to increase by education and
civilization, as they preside over the
moral ind intellectual functions.
The lower portions of the brain, in
which the lower or more selfish pro-
pensities are conferred, and which give
breadth to the head, have, in the
march of the centuries, failed to
grow as rapidly rs the higher brain
centuries, hence the non-increase in
the width of our skulls.-Chicago
Times.
