The Houston city council will
pass an ordinance to prevent ex-
pectorating on the sidewalks, in
street cars, theatres, churches and
other public places. The ordinance
is the result of an agitation among
the citizens, and is one that should
bein force in every city, not alone
for its cleanliness, because that in
a measure il protects the health of
the people. Eminent physicians
have long since proved that cpl.
demical diseases, and also the
dreaded consumption can be spread
and transmitted by the uncleanly
habit of splitting on the sidewalks
and in places where the saliva can
not be dissolved in dust. Take
person suffering from a pulmonary
disease, and his saliva is permeated
with the diseased bacteria. The
saliva, lying in an exposed place,
will dry and be carried in powdery
particles, still containing the germs
of disease, through the air, to be
breathed into the lungs of healthy
persons and planting the seeds of.
consumption there. Every city
throughout the West has anti.ex-
pectorating ordinances that are
enforced. San Antonio and
III Paso have them, and it is from
the San Antonio ordinance that
Houston is patterning hers. No
will be attached to expec-
torating in the streets.-IIalletts-

ALABAaA'S PROPOSED NEW cONSTl'
TUITION.

The proposed new constitution
Of Alabama, submitted by the late
constitutional convention, makes
some radical changes, several OF
which are, we believe, good ones.
If the new constitution is ratified,
the following will be some of the
most notable results:
No bonds, except those already
authorized, can be issued except
upon vote Of the people.
Thirty cents of every siXty-fve
cents collected for state taxes will
be devoted to the public schools,
in addition TO the poll tax collected.
Judges may discharge, under
fixed rules, juries from the consid.
alton of any case.
Banks will be examined into by
public accountants.
The legislature will meet every
four years, saving $4,000 every
two years, and elections will be
much less frequent.
Local Legislation will be next to
impossible.
All state officers are elected for
four years. and no one of said Off
GERS shall be eligible as his own
successor, and the governor shall
not be eligible TO election or APP
pointment to any office under this
state, or to the senate of the United
States during his term, and within
one year after the expiration
thereof.
The constitution of 1875 (Sec. 3S,
Art. J. recognizes the 10Th amend /
ment which Alabama never adopted /
md guarantees the negro all the |
rights of suffrage the white man
enjoys. The new constitution !
)mits that section.
Members of the legislature and
judicial officers are prohibited from

llty.
Assessments for street improve
nents will be limited to the benefit
lone abutting property.
Under the suffrage provision the
white man will rule for all time to
iome in Alabama.

asked what she thought of the controyer-
sy as to Saturday or Sunday being the
proper day to observe: This is all fool
ishness. So they rest one day in the week.
that is sufficient, but as the law sets
apart Sunday for day of rest it should
be so observed. We must know God be-
lore we can disobey him. and We believe
that 1t is only to persons who have his
spirit who can know him. Because we
are raised in country that acknowledges
God does not show that We know God.
We think nearly all of the Scriptures are
written in figures. Jesus told the disci-
pies that the reason it was done was that
they might understand and the world be
blinded" This concluded our interview,
and I think embraces all teachings or be-
liefs OF Mrs. McWhirter.
Mrs. McWhirter was born in jackson
county, Tenn, in Gainesboro. May IT.
1927. Her maiden name was White She
professed religion and Joined the Metho-
dist Church when sixteen years old She
was married to George NJ. McWhirter
June II, 1Si5. They finally settled in Bel
ton. Bell county. Texas. They were well
of and belonged to good families in Ten

than a quarter of a century. Mr.. Nc

vantages of travel, spending successive
summers in New York, Chicago, San Fran
cisco. even Mexico, and have achieved Il
common independence unknown to any
other organization of women in the world.
1t has all been done so quietly it makes
the results seem almost miraculous.
They call their present home the Com
monwealth. This community has gradu-
ally grown and now consists of twenty
five women who are living what they con-
slider an ideal life. Mrs. McWhirter, the
originator, OF course, is the head and
housemother, and their ages range from
the seventy five years of the leader to the
three years OF her little grandchild. Mrs.
McWhirter says it was a revelation that
moved her when she shook the town of
Belton to the very bottom layer of it's
narrow Puritanical foundations by plant
ing a tiny acorn of independence which
has grown into the sturdy oak of this
feminine commonwealth.
a history Of the organization is d char
acter sketch of its promoter, and this is
the true history of its inception, creation
and existence. They occupy an extensive
residence property. which they own, To-
Gated in the midst of one OF Washington'g
prettiest suburbs, on Kenesaw Avenue
They bought this house three years ago
The Washington times., 1902-04-06

this July, and paid $4,000 for it. In ad-
dition to this they enlarged it and put it
in thorough repair at cost OF $40 900
more, and now it is said to be worth
$50, 900.
An inspection of the house showed the
interior to be furnished very plainly. 1t
also showed the hOusekeeper was a most
careful and thorough one, as everything
was spotlessly clean. In the tightly
closed reception room an expensive set
of parlor furniture was arranged very
prettily. Upstairs in the front room the
birds-e maple bedstead of 5000 bed
room set was made up with home made
sheets and spreads; also embroidered
shams. The other rooms were furnished
neatly. but very plainly, only those of the
three young girls being adorned. There
you saw the dainty girlish instincts had
found outlet in rufiled pincushions, deco
rated work baskets, and a Swiss drapery
or two, while a framed Dream OF Love"
and a pathetic Alone" on the wall caused
one to wonder II there was not stified
longing in maiden hearts for a complete
ness OF life which the older sisters have
had and cast away.
When | asked Mrs. McWhrter upon
whom would the leadership devolve at
her death. she replied: The Divine wish

runs smoothly under the observance OF no
laws other than unwritten ones.
There are no ironbound rules as to the
coming and going of any member. and the
rights OF one are only limited by the
rights of every other. No sectarian
forms are observed, yet the strictest
piety pervades the colony. Lectures and
sessions of Congress are attended. and
theatres are not tabooed. Liberty in
dress also prevails. the garments only
restricted in cut and color in that they
must be plain. Mrs. McWhirter settles
all questions and controversies. yet
every member has her say in the com
mon discussion which prefaces every de-
cision concerning the interests OF the
commonwealth.
| asked her il she ever had TO settle
any serious disputes or quarrels among
the sisters, and she showed an unexpect-
ed sense OF humor when she replied with
the counter question. Can you imagine
twenty-five women living together for
twenty years or more and thinking alike
on all subjects at all times?" and then
she went on seriously: There really are
not many disagreements, for early and
late we teach and try to practice forbear-
ance."
They have enjoyed the educational ad-
