brought to her attention on a visit to

of that city who was using the food BY
the advice Of his physician. She
says:

CEASE CHARTER TINKERING.

CEASE CHARTER TINKERING.
If the charter of second-class cities
really needs reformation-and we
are ready to accept that opinion-by
all means let a committee of repre-
sentative citizens-not a lot of poll
ticians actnated by the spirit of bar
ter and exchange-meet somewhere
and revise the whole instrument, so
tn~- it shall last for a decade with
out any more tinkering.
II is his pernicious tinkering with
such instruments that destroys their
efficacy. When originally drawn, no
matter how crude, the authors of
the charter have some distinct, con-
sistent idea of municipal government
running all through the instrument.
Even though unsatisfactory. it is
harmonious as a whole. But when
the politicians get through with it,
the charter Is patchwork of compro-
misses. representing no needs of the
people of the various cities affected,
but the desires of their respective
political bosses or gangs, who sup
port each others measures, on the
principal OF you scratch my back

had a politician out of a job, so al
new Office was created. A certain
crowd in Paducah needed some more
policemen, not so much to aid De-
mocracy at the polls, as to strength
en- its own clutches on the throat OF
local Democracy at the primary. And
so the charter is amended and
amended until a Philadelphia law
yer could not tell what il means, or
il was originally intended to mean.

treaty did not, by any possible con-
struction, assert the authority of the
United States to compel any state to
maintain public schools, or to extend
the privileges of its public schools to
japanese children or to the children
of any alien residents. The treaty
did assert the right OF the United
States. by treaty, to assure to the cit
liens of foreign nation residing in
American territory equality of treat
ment with the citizens of other for
eign nations. so that if any state
chooses to extend privileges to alien
residents as well as to citizen resi-
dents. the state will be forbidden by
the obligation of the treaty to dis
criminate against the resident citi-
zens of the particular country with
which the treaty is made, and will be
forbidden to deny to them the priv
ileges which it grants to the citizens
OF other foreign countries. The eff
feet of such treaty, in, respect of ed
ucation, is not positive and compuA
sorry; it is negative and prohlbitory.
1t is not requirement that the state
shall furnish education: it Is a pro-
hibition against discrimination when
the state does choose to furnish edu-
cation. 1t leaves every state free to
have public schools or not, as It
chooses. but 1t says to every state:
"If you provide a system OF educa-
ton which includes alien children,
you must not exclude these particu-
lar alien children"
No States Rights.
1t has been widely asserted or as

THE CITY BEAUTIFUL.

Beautiful Paducah" is an appel
lation, to which the busiest
city on the Ohio river may we'll as
pire; for like Cinderella our thrifty
port is slipping out of the calico in
which she has worked her way back
from the struggling river front to the
hills west of Twenty-fifth street. for
the silken sheen of the blue grass
and plumate trees that will shortly
line the center of Jefferson boulevard
for two miles and rustic before the
eyes OF strangers, in the Tenth street
park Newer towns are built around
central parks, but few cities this size
can boast of a boulevard system,
with which Paducah will connect q
chain of parks, as yet only in con-
but certain of realiza-
ton. We have no fear of the future
of our city beautiful Pride will
spring into being and public senti-
ment demand immediate gratifica-
tion of a newly awakened taste for
the beautiful, when the people see
the transformation to be worked by
the board of park commissioners.
And it will make Paducah better.
Estheticism properly developed
through the senses of sight and hear
ing purify and ennoble. Squalor and
dirt and ugliness pauperize the SEN
sibilities. Not only must We continu-
ally struggle toward the attainment
of the perfect In our show streets, but
we must improve the worst ones.
There are two objects of accomplish
ment For which Paducah must strive:
the redemption of the river front
with a park, and the improvement Of
the cheaper tenement quarters. Poor
people are more or less at the mercy
of their landlords. They must live
where they can find cheap houses.
The result is that frame structures
Of the "gunbarrel" type are placed on
stills over backwater bogs, regular
breeders. and Paducah Isl
thus caused to rear a generation of
anemics to fatten the purses of few
landlords. There is drastic remedy
for this latter evil: Tax assessment
to the returns on the

pal works that win require the inn
of the property. Public
health, the city beautiful and indus
trial development are intimately and
associated.

The Situation.

The school system thus provided
school privileges for all resident chill
dren, whether citizen or alien; all
resident children were included in the
basis for estimating the amount to
be raised by taxation for school pur-
poses; the fund for the support of
the school was raised by general tax
alton upon all property of resident
aliens as well as Of citizens; and al.
the resident children, whether of
aliens or Of citizens, were liable to
be compelled to attend the schools.
So that, under the resolution of the
board OF education, the children Of
resident aliens of all other national
tiles were freely admitted to the
schools of the city in the neighbor-
hood of their homes, while the chill
dren of Indians, Chinese and Japan
csc were excluded from those schools
and were not only deprived of educa-
ton unless they consented to 20 to
the special oriental school on Clay
street, but were liable to be forcibly
compelled to go to that particular
school.

ton, admission 10 the ordinary pri-

mary schools of San Francisco was
denied TO Japanese children, and
thereupon the government of Japan
made representations to the govern
ment of the United States that mas
much as the children of residents who
were citizens Of all other foreign
countries we're freely admitted to the
schools. the citizens OF Japan resid-
ing in the United States were. by that
exclusion, denied the same privileges,
liberties and rights relating to the
rights relating to the right Of resi-
dcnce which we're accorded to the cit
liens or subjects of the most-fayored

were promptly presented by the gov
eminent of the United States to the

to the state court of California, an

matter has been happily disposed of
without proceedings to Judgment in

there was much excited discussion of
the subject in the newspapers and in

ThIee DESTINED Questions.

II Is obvious that three distinct
questions we're raised by the claim
originating with Japan and presented
by our national government to the
courts in San Francisco. The first
and second were merely questions of
construction of the treaty. Was the
right to attend the primary schools
a right, liberty or privilege of resi-?
dence? and, df so, was the limitation
of japanese children to the oriental
school and their exclusion from the
ordinary schools az deprivation of
that right, liberty or privilege? These
questions of construction, and espec-
tally the second, are by no means
free from doubt; but as them concern
only the meaning of particular
clause in a particular treaty they are
not of permanent Importance, and,
the particular occasion for their CON
sideration having passed, they need
not now be discussed.
The other question was whether.
If the treaty had the meaning which
the government of japan ascribed to
It, the government of the United
States had the constitutional power
to make such treaty agreement with
a foreign nation which should be SUI
perior to and controlling upon the
laws of the state of California. A
correct understanding of that ques
ton is OF the utmost Importance not
merely as regards the state of Cali
fornia, but as regards all states and
all citizens of the Union.
There was a very general misap-
of what this treaty really
undertook to do. 1t was assumed
that in making and asserting the
of the treaty of 1894 the
United States was asserting the right
to compel the state of California to
admit Japanese children to its schools
No such question was involved. That
