seems to be in the application of an
educational test for black and white
voters alike, and then follow it up
by rigidly protecting every voter,
black or white, in the exercise OF
the franchise to which he has dem
onstaated he is rightly entitled.
The forcing Of negro officials onto
white men in commercial lines is
not a step toward solution of this
problem, and the threat to reduce
the congressional representation in
the negro populated states is but a
barrier to an intelligent outcome Of
the question. Impulse and spirit
of retaliation may prompt such
course, but thoughtful men will look
elsewhere for remedy for condi-
tions as they exist between the two
races To-Day.

THE MEANING OF LIFE.

sWhat, then, is the m an n s
of life-of life absolutely and inevi
tably bounded by death? To me i
seems in telligible only as the avenu.
and vestibult to another life. /"
These words from the closing
chapter of Progress and Poverty,
were discussed recently by Her
bert S. Bungalow, pastor of the
Vine Street Congregational Church
Cincinnati, in a sermon on the Mean
ing of Life.
"As an original thinker in the
feld of political economy, Henry
George is well known said DR..
Bigelow. "But the service he has
rendered in quickening the springs
OF religious life is not as widely ap.
preciated.
What led to the writing of PRO.
gress and Poverty is told by the
author as follows:
/" When first realized the soual.
i'd misery OF a great city, it appalled,
and tormented me, and would not
let me rest for thinking Of what
caused it and how it could be cured.
ITO find the cause and cure of this
social disease of poverty Henry
George re-wrote the science of Pc
litical Economy. Instead of the
dismal and dispairing science Pc
litical Economy had been, it be-
came, under his treatment, radiant
with hope!
In the beginning the author had
intended to confine his discussion to
Political Economy. But the princi-
pies which stood cut in that dis
cussion led him, inevitably, into
another field of thought, and begin.
ming with an inquiry into the caus-
es OF poverty, he concluded with a
declaration Of faith in the immor tai
ity Of the soul.
Out OF this inquiry said he,
has come TO me something I did
not think to find, and a faith that
was dead revives.'
thousands Of thoughtful and
earnest men have had the same ex.
perience. They have begun by EN-.
bracing the teachings Of Henry
George on the subject Of Politica
Economy. They have ended b.
finding a new religious philosophy
and the faith that was dead reyives

no sign that there was anywhere in

At last copy OF Progress and
Poverty fell into his hands. He
had heard that the book was dry
reading. For him it read like a
romance, because he went to it, not
for entertainment. but with CON
Stunning desire to find a solution for
the dark problem of poverty. In
the mind Of the author he saw this
blind universe reduced to order.
He saw humrn wretchedness and
wrong traced to their final causes,
not in the mistakes of the creator,
but in the ignorance of the crea-
lures. He saw that creation was
not colossal blunder. His soul
was stirred by the mighty thought
of this book, which unfolded and
revealed to him the possibility OF a
human society living in conformity
with the laws of nature and reward
ed for it's obedience with abundance
and peace.
The faith that was dead revived.
this book had saved him from up-
belief and pointed the way back to a
larger and happier and more ra-
tional faith than he had ever known.
When the young man had finish
ed his story, Mr.. George replied
that the sweetest reward he could
have was in such evidence that his
teachings had inspired his fellows
with vital faith in God and new
hope for man. Then putting his
hand on the young mans arm he
added:
My work is done. I have
searched and found law in it's sover-
eign beauty, even where men said
there was no law. If the soul dies
there is break in nature's laws.
That I cannot belieye. Those laws
must hold their sway even where we
cannot see. We cannot tell where
or how, but we have seen enough to
establish our faith in the universal
lity Of natural law, therefore we
must believe in the future life of the
SOUL
The meaning Of Henry George
may be made clear by the following
illustration; "A famous astronomer
discovered a certain law governing
the planets. According to this law
there should have been at a certain
place in the heavens a star. But
men could see no star there, and
some argued from the absence of
the star that the astronomer was In
error. The astronomer argued that
If men could not see the star it was
the fault of their eyesight and not
the fault of this law. Finally won
derful lens was produced, and be-
holdl the star was found where the
astronomer had declared it ought to
be. You see, the astronomer had
traced the law part way, and knew
it must hold good all the way.
When others doubted, he saw the
star-saw it with the eye Of faith, a
faith based upon knowledge Of the
law.
So it is with the life Of the soul.
The philosopher sees that the laws
OF nature, when rightly understood,
point to the happiness and develop

SANDYSTON.

Lightning rod men are getting
in their fine work in various parts
of the county. On Friday last one
of that species called upon Alfred
Elicit of this town and after a good
deal of talk persuaded Mr.. Elicit to
allow him to put rods and vane
upon his barn. The price was to be
$3.50 and Mr.. Elicit. signed what
purported to be contract for that
amount and the work. In looking
over the document, after the agent
had departed, he found he was in
for a larger figure than had been
agreed upon. He pursued the chap,
but could not overtake him, and the
only thing Mr.. Elicit can do is to
prevent the men from putting up
the rods, ETC., and they will have

Franehises in PORTO Rico

Undeveloped countries, when they
come under a stable government
offer remarkable attractions for new
enterprises. The people have been
unused to proposed improvements
and they are willing to get them on
alnest any terms. Our government
in Porto Rico seems to be starting off
well, however, in the interests of the
people. The power of granting fran
chises is now lodged in committee
of eleven persons of whom at least
five must be natives. Forty years is
the limit of franchise; most of them
however are being granted for less
than 25 years. The first telephone
company in the island was required
to pay 12l per cent of its gross
receipts to the people. A street rail-
way company was required to pay
five per cent, very liberal deductions
when it is remembered that they
come from the gross receipts. The
government also reserves the right of
amendment or repeal to the extent
that the franchises are practically
under government control. The peo-
pie Of our new possessions appear to
have been better protected than those
of us at home, yet this must be
gratifying to those who feared that
the islands would be exploited by
spectators and promoters who would
rob the people of their rights.

FOOTBALL KICKING AS EXERCISE
For the Woman Who Thinks Herself
 Too Fat.

Eat fruit before yo.u go to bed, all you can. choosing figs, prunes or ap- nlas. Do not lie in bed more than sev- en hours. Either go to bed or get up eaily, but let seven hours be the limit.
 Do not drink over one cup of tea, cof- fee Ct\ water at each meal, and do not have either tea or coffee very sweet. One cup must suffice no matter how much you may want another. Fer breakfast take nothing but dry toast Put little salt on it instead of butter Eat three slices of toast if you please, but only one cup of coffee.
 Do your own marketing and your own shopping and your own sightsee- ing. Three hours is not too long to spend in walking. Don't sit down, but keep moving. Have your feet in good condition. fer the fat woman who hos trouble with her feet might as well have no feet as far as exercise is cen cerned. She cannot walk.
 Don't wear tight clothing for tight bands. tight lacings and tight collars keep the fat firm and it is impossible to exercise when the muscles re tightly bandaged or bound down. Don't hay, ailments, though fat people are apt to
  them and remember only that you are going to grow thin.
 Don't, when walking, try to wear high heels, for high heels iniure the feet and make them ache so that it will be impossible to make them do the required amount of walking in order to get thin.
 Eat all the fruits. all the vegetables, all the green things you can get, but do not drink a great deal of water while eating and do not take bread and butter. Avoid sauces. Avoid starchy foods. Avoid the made dishes which are the delight of stout peple.
 Exercise is a vast thing in the scheme of reduction. If the fat woman would buy pair of pajamas and a football and would turn herself into a very wig Orous kicker she would soon ansfCrm herself from a fat woman into very thin one. If she would religiously kick every evening from 10 to II and every morning from until :. she would lO-e flesh and lose it very rapidly.

of her lot. There is one person who will never take much stock in that old cry, and that is the woman who has been in the steady grind of a business career.
 Doing the same thing day after day is not the exclusive privilege or bane of the housekeeper. not by any manner of means. In fact, when you come right down to the subject. there is no work in the world in which there is more variety than in general house. work, whether one attends to the de tails herself of simply directs someone else in the doing. Furthermore, it is the most healthful sort of work. To be sure it may be so done as to prove anything but a blessing physically.
 If one stoops toward it, so to speak, with contracted chest and dropping shoulders, it will only be a question of time when the head will droop and the shoulder blades stand out. Also, if one habitually does all the heavier. work with one hand. the result will be a one-sided development
 Since almost all of the regular house. work is of such a sort as to require forward motion of the arms, the thing to guard against is contraction of the chest. Sweeping and dusting become good exercise when proper attention is given to the position of the body. The sweeping not only starts the circula- tion and increases respiration. but it also gives some good arm and waist exercise.
 Bedmaking is fine exercise when the windows are open to admit plenty of fresh air great deal of bending is necessary, but this alternates with strengthening of the body. No one posi- tion is held for any length of time. side motions of the trunk and arms being necessary. This is free play for the chest, the lungs are filled with fresh air, and the general circulation is quickened in this brisk work.
 But as in every ether detail of house. work, the clothing should be such as to give no pressure or undue weight But the most lowly and despised detail of housework is, after all. the one that is most valuable from the standpoint of hygiene.
 The scrubbing and wiping up of floors are two movements in which the weight is taken entirely from the feet. In the position on the hands and knees gravity acts to the best advantage, and the shoulder movement is comparative lV free
