ABOUT CITYB ONDS.

As q result of the mayors con vention, held at Hot Springs re- gently. the executive committee has taken steps for placing before the people of Arkansas the impor- tance of amendment No. 9, to ena- ble cities to issue interest bearing certificates of indebtedness to pay for public improvements. The proposed amendment. as a whole, is simply the recognition of pro- gressiye Democracy, and, as such, is one of the fundamental princi- ples of the Democratic party. The executive committee has organiz- ed for campaign of education, and k arranging for a through CO operation on the part of the coun- ty officials throughout the state, and the voters generally. The newspapers are, as q rule, already in line and they will lend their ac- tive support.
 Amendment No 9, while 1t will give to the cities public improve ments, does so without increasing taxes. It is also safeeuarded in a perfect manner, IS no additional tax levies can be made under any circumstances. and, as 8 fact, in- debtedness certificates cannot be created unless ordered by city councils, and not then until the voters at the polls give these or ders the stamp of their approval.
 Under this amendment every city in the state will be permitted to develop to its utmost capacity, and in consequence thereof coun- try property will also rapidly in creased in value, and labor em- ployed by cities will receive full pay for services without the possi- bility of being compelled at any time to accept warrants that must be cashed at less than par.
 Every property owner. whether in country or city, will be benefit ed by this amendment, and no tax payer will be called on to pay in- creased taxes under the provisions of the amendment.

AS it is conceded that the first step
preliminary to the digging at Pana-
ma must be to create such sanitary
conditions that the men who dig may
live, the Secretary Of Agriculture will
be asked to send his professors to de.
stroy the mosquitoes that distribute
malaria and the bacteria that infect
the water supply. This will give op.
portunity for very conclusive test of
the toxic effects of sulphate of copper
and the pest-destroying value of Pc
Holeum. Should Secretary Wilson come
off victor either in the battle with the
mosquitoes or with the bacillus Of the
deadly Chagres fever he ought to be
rewarded with Major Generalship.

MONOCLES IN KANSAS,
the Burning Ambition of Senator +.
Dumont Smith For Culture.

F. Dumont Smith, state senator
from the 38th district, is responsible
for the introduction of the monocle
into the short grass section of Kansas.
Mr.. Smith has prepared an ingeniouaf
defense of his action, and, as he is a.
candidate for reelection, it cannot be-
known whether or not his defence is
accepted until the votes of the district
in the November election are counted.
Senator Smith has been suspected fer
several years of desire to introduce
genuine" culture into the prairie
country and his ability to wear mon
ocle has given him his opportunity.
Several years ago he took home with
him from Topeka package of blue'
grass seed and had visions of lawn
of the finest Kentucky grass which
should extend from Great Bend to Sy-t
racuSe. His dream ended when the
last spear Of sickly green grass with
Now he believes he has set an exam
pie which will lead every cow punch
er in his district to adopt the monocle
and that in time it will be possible
for strangers to recognize resident
of the district by the character of glass
he wears
Senator Smith says he has adopted
the monocle because he believes that
he should no longer delude his con
stituents into believing that he has
two eyes. He says only one Of his
eyes has rendered him any service fors
years, and he knows no necessity for
wearing the two glasses. Mr.. Smith
says he has worn the monocle six
months, but, as he is just returning
from Chicago, it is believed that he
adopted the reform in that city and Isl
waiting here for the news to reach the
short grass country. Then, if there is
too big an uproar, he can discard. the
single glass and declare the story a.
fabrication Senator Smith was
asked today how his boom to succeed
Burton, in the United States senate is
progressing and told the following
story to illustrate it:
my boom is something like 'Bill1
Sterret's elephant. 1t Is not as dam
gerous as 1t seemed. Bill Sterret
had been drunk several days and
awoke one morning to find an elek
plant in his room. The animal was Of
enormous size. It's back touched tho
ceiling and it so completely filled the
room that its trunk reposed on Bill'f
bed. Sterret never had had expert
ence with elephants and did not know
what he could do to get rid Of th4
creature. While he was trying ID
solve the problem, the elephant
backed out of the room through tho
keyhole. kansas City Star.

What next? A Canadian woman, MOI
satisfied with liberal alimony, will now
dispute in the courts the right Of hel
husbands second wife to bear his
name. When she married the man
she says, she secured a perpetual copy
right on his name. She has no objec
tons to her husband marrying again
none at all. But she does not pro-
pose to be known as No. 1, if there is
any justice in the courts. It will prob.
ably depend upon the name as to
whether other women will be likely to
follow the example of the Canadian
woman. Sometimes there is a good
deal in a name, and, again, there is
nothing in it. Possibly the Canadian
woman likes her husbands name-may
even have married him for this alone.
After this a man would seem to be
fortunate who has plain, every day
Brown and Smith sort of a name. that

The time has not yet come, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer, when battle
ships and cruisers can be abandoned,
because there is nothing to take their
places. The lesson which we learned
from the Spanish War is that they
should be handled with the greatest
skill ana efficiency, and that is all that
has come out of the Russo-Japanese
War up to date. Mines blow vessels
up, whether they are. battleships or
lumber RATS. Torpedoes are dangerous
to cruisers in armor and to mud scows
alike. In naval warfare the problem is
to keep away from your enemy's
mines and torpedoes and do the de-
stroying yourself. 1t is the gun that
is handled with efficiency that wins in
conflict. That is the word efficiency
the keynote to success on the seas.
