SEEING BY TELEPHONE.

How we'll you're looking this morn
ing" says the facetous man in tele-
phonic greeting to his friend a hum
dred miles away. Mr.. J. B. Fowler OF
Portland, Oregon, has taken the nub
out of this joke by inventing an ap-
paratus by which images displayed
before lens at one end of tele-
phone wire are projected upon a
screen at the other end. Mr.. Fowler
invites his visitors to talk with his
daughter They place the telephone
transmitter to the ear, apply the eye
to an aperature in the telephone box,
and see the young woman in miniat-
ure speaking 5000 feet away. Mr.
Fowler is preparing now to show a
train in motion in his invention. He
has no doubt of it's commercial prac-
ticability, and declares that within
q few years it will be in operation
throughout the country. For some it
may be boon. For others it will
be- curse. Who has not telephoned
when he wanted to avoid a face-to-
face interview? What will frisky hus-
bands detained at the office" say
to a machine that shows to suspicious
wives the chips that pass in the
night? Mr.. Fowler may not be a
public benefactor after all.-f'With

WHAT A CABINET OFFICER is.

What is the official standing of the
cabinet? What duties do the members
perform? @. A. @.
The constitution does not specifical-
ly provide for a cabinet; indeed, the
word cabinet occurs neither in our
constitution nor in our laws. In virtue
of Article II. Section II, l, the presi-
dent simply may require the opinion
in writing, of the principal officer N
each of the executive departments. -
It is this merely permissive suggcs--
ion that became the creative cause Of
what, in this country, is termed TIE
cabinet" viz, presidential council
composed of as many mem
bers as there are heads of
executive departments; and there
in lies the explanation Of
the fact that our so-called cabinet is
not, collectively, legal body; that it
has no legal duties to perform and
no legal responsibilities to bear (the
president alone being held responsi
bic for the due performance of the
executive business.)

BOOK REVIEW NOTICE.

AuTO-SUGGESTION; what it Is
and how to use it for health. happi-
ness and success; linen. cloth and
gold, 1874 pages; price Is cents; by
Herbert A. Parkyn. NJ. D., Suggestion
Publishing company, 1920 Drexel
Boulevard, Chicago.
This book deals with the problems
of health, happiness and success
foom the personal standpoint; the
author claims that right mental atti-
tudes are essential to success in any
field of life and endeavor, and he at
tempts to show how right mental at
titudes. habits, correct mode OF
thought, will power memory, ETC.,
may be acquired, built up and
strengthened. Directions are given
for acquiring confidence, aggressive
ness and courage. A portion of the
book shows how Auto-Suggestion may
be used to acquire health, strength
and bodily vigor
There is nothing mysterious or oc-
cult in the treatment of the subject;
even in the chapters on "Auto-Sug-
eestion and Personal Magnetism" the
author takes the ground that personal
magnetism is not an occult quality.
but condition of state which may
be acquired by all to greater or less
degree. and practical everyday di-
rections are given for acquiring that
charm of manner and action which is
called personal magnetism"
The subject of Auto-Suggestion is
discussed and defined. and many di-
rections are given showing how Auto
Suggestion may be applied in all the
affairs of life. two chapters being de-
voted to the principles which under
lie success in business.
The book, which contains the doc
trines of the so-called New Psychol-
oey. is of especial value to teachers
parents, and those who wish to form
correct habits of thought, manners
conduct. etc.

HUMAN NATURE IN
WEATHER.
HOT

Heat, horse and human nature all
have a free exhibition these hot
days. not only in Pine Bluff, but in
every other city in the country. 1t
seems that as though the heat of the
good old summer time brings most
prominently to the front the real ma
ture of man. If he is of querulOus
disposition the heat generally devel-
ops that quality. If he is pessimistic
he frantically and vigorously an
nounces that the worst is yet to come.
If he is genial and bland that fact
stands forth most prominently. If
he is optimistic then he evidences
that fact most pronouncedly.
Mans true quality, however, mani
tests itself in summer time if he hap
pens to own or drive horse. It is
an old saying that the merciful man
is merciful to his horse. If he is
of cruel disposition generally he is
cruel to his horse. The man who
fails to protect his horse in hot
weather as much as he possibly can
would more than likely take things to
eat away from his children and apply
them to his own use. The man who
beats his horse these hot days when
it is overworked is the same man
who would unquestionably in a mo-
ment of anger apply the lash to the
back of woman.
OF course business has to be done
in the summer time as we'll as in the
cooler fall and winter. but there is no
such great rush at any time but
that a man can be considerate Of his
horse. When using him, measure
your work to the temperature When
at rest see TO it that he is kept in the
shade, out of the glazing rays of the
sun, and is not kept with his head
reined up so high that his unprotect-
ed eyes prove the focus for the hot
sun rays. There is no excuse for the
abuse of dumb brutes. and the man
who does so should be treated to the
mcst severe punishment allowed by
law.
1t has been very truly said "If Won
would know your fellow man, study
him and his horse these hot days"

But why, then, are you not already

To this the answer may sound with
a comic opera note to English readers,

An Open Sewer Nuisance.

Northeast Washington is not the only
part of the city. with open cesspool to
endanger the public health. as Is disclosed
in the news columns today. 1t appears that
in order to erect pier for the railroad VIA
duct at the corner of Virginia avenue and
South Capitol street 1t was deemed neces-
sary to cut open at that point the old
sewer, an outlet into James cre~k canal
of evil repute. This particular sewer has
the reputation of being one of the fouIest
In the entire city, and yet 1t was cut open
for a distance of many feet. and the solid
contents were piled upon the sides while
a sluiceway was provided for carrying off
the liquid refuse. For several days the
stencil from this opened place and the piles
of muck has been 50 foul as to render sew
eral residents of the immediate section Ill.,
and a malodorous streamer has been borne
by the winds for long distances There
seems to have been no precaution to prose-
cute this work with especial speed and
there is at present prospect of a further
delay of four or five days. during which the
neighborhood must suffer intensely
1t would appear to be the part of good
government always to approach task of
this character with infinite care. to reduce
to a minimum the attendant evils The

The Dollars Confession,

The solemn organ pealed in state,
The choir melodious sang:
Upon the contribution plate
A silver dollar rang.
The coin was thinking on It's past,
And sighed, Were they acquainted
With me I'd from their midst be cast,
For 1 am surely tainted
The deacon listened as 1t spoke:
I've swelled the miser's hoard,
I've fastened on the toiler's yoke
And sharpened many a sword;
I've fed the proud and scorned distress;
I've done the gamblers mission;
All this and more 1 do confess
With sorrow and contrition.''
The honest churchman said: my fame
Is scant for wit and learning,
But tbs my duty sure to claim
brand forth from the burning.
Perhaps you'll find and conquer vet
A nobler destination.
A dollar, like man, should get
A chance at reformation"

Doodle and Elections.

We must all be philosophical about the de-
feat by the New York legislature of the cor
rupt practices bill.
In the first place, we must consider the
legislature. That body, from first to last.
was under open charges of money inf1u-
ences. Lobbyists. great and small. swarIned
at Albany. Their presence was heralded in
the dispatches. and the particular object
that this man or that had in view was free
" pointed out. Certain measures were de-
scribed as having limitless Doodle behind
them. Party lines disappeared here and
there Now democrats followed republican
leadership, and then republicans followed
democratic leadership. Why was such a
body expected TO go on record impressively
In favor of curtailing the use of money in
elections? The proposition had something
dron in it.
In the second place, some of its sponsors
are men whose achievements in politics
have been accredited to the liberal use of
money at primaries and elections. When
not seeking office for themselves by such
means they We're helping others. Their as
sistance in campaigns is sought solely be-
cause of the size of their wallets. They
stand for nothing intellectual or elevated in
public affairs. Are they tired of putting
up?' Are they more bent on escaping cam
pagn solicitors than on purifying politics
Is not the aggressive prominence of men of
this sort in such crusade an injury rather
than benefit? Does it not in a way reflect
upon the endeavor of earnest men?
1t has long been question in temperance
circles as TO how reformed man. a man
seeking reform, may best serve the cause.
Sometimes he sets up for leadership. And
when he does he is apt to go too far in his
methods and discourses. He becomes more
radical and intolerant than the man who
has never swallowed a drop. With his
nerves shaken, his stomach gone his nose
red and his eyes bleared, he thunders
against the enemy without measure. He is
not content TO serve merely as an awful
example-which really is very high service.
Money in elections and in securing legis-
lation from officials who have been elected
by money is a great curse but the curse
will never be lifted by hypocrites or faded
boodlers. When will II be lifted? Heaven
speed the day. but echo answers when!

Germany and Giants.
A Berlin cable says:


emperor William saw a very tall Moor
while ashore at Tangier, talked to him and
arranged that the man should join his
majesty's company of tall men of the First
Guard Regiment. The Moor has now been
assigned to carry the regimental standard.
He stands exactly 6 feet 10 ITO inches in
height, and otherwise is of large proper
tons"
This is in the old style. Frederick WILL
lam. father of Frederick the Great, a vio-
lent man of eccentric tastes, had passion
for giants, and he tried to form a brigade
of them. Macaulay entions that every
country was ransacked by the kings agents
for men above the ordinary stature. One
1r.shman, more than seven feet high, who
was picked up IN London by the Prussian
ambassador, received bounty of near
thirteen hundred pounds sterling, very
much more than the ambassadors salary"
William lis giant may do for dress parade
but as a coloc-bearer he would not live
long in action The little men hold the
fighting stage today. Russian giants are
at discount as opposed to the little fell
lows from Japan, who do not come up to
tEer shoulders

When it is considered that this exposition
was designed simply to give the railroad
workers of the world chance to see the
wares OF the manufacturers and the devices

especially notable. In 1900 the EXHIBITS
were shown in connection with the Paris
Exposition. Here they are separate. ana
It Is this singularity that causes many
people today to ask why there Is not here
at Washington a ripe field for the devei-
opment of a permanent Industrial EXPOSE

This idea of a permanent exposition at

that there was not an energetic industrial
interest sufficiently aroused to back IT, III
one form of the suggestion IL was pro-
posed as a combination of state exhibits

way exhibit gives strength to the loea
that the various industries might combine
to maintain a similar show at the capital

try's manufactures.
IT is probable that II the enterprise were

dred thousand people. in the crdnaFy
course of the tourist visiting OF waning
ton. Business men desiring to inspect
tbs latest products of the factories or
the laboratories could here combine pusi-
ness and pleasure. Washington Is pecom
ing the Mecca of Americans who wish 10
recuperate at certain seasons OF the year.
More and more the tourist tide moving IN
this direction is swelling in volume. with
a well-managed and well-displayed show
ing of the country's best products. agricul-
tural. mechanical. scientific and otherwise
there would be an even larger yearly at

The proposition is worthy of the consider
alton of the manufacturers of the country
as well as the enterprisng residents of the
states who firmly believe in the value of
advertising as a means of making trade
and population.
