MUST REGISTER
IN ORDER TO VOTE
IMPORTANT OPINION BY ATTOR-
NEY GENERAL ON ACT OF
1908.
Every Voter is Intcrestcd-Old Reg
istration Certificates Null and
Void-Books Kept Open
Longer.

Attorney General Lyon, nj the re-
quest Of Gov. AnScl. has rendered an
important opinion on the require
mrnts Of the act Of 1908 on rccnroll-
mcnt and ROC istration Of voters, says
the State. This act was passed by the
general assembly. in accordance with
the provision of the constitution, re-
uuirinw new registration every ten
years, and special appropriations
were made for the boards of rcSistra-
tinns in order that the books might
be kept open Il longer time than usu-
al.
Mr.. Lyon holds that each and cvr'y
voter who has hrrctn(nrr registered
must rcrrgiSirr and have his name
entered on the books in the same
manner as if it wcrr entirely now reg
islration. There is pr"viso that
those registered before zoos shall be
presentation Of their certificates from
he clerk of court or secretary pf
State that their names appear upon
the records prior to 1898. On the new
books opened and kept open during
the months of July and August should
be entered all the names. Those ell
rolled during the first Monday in
each month Of the year 1908.
The opinion is a strict construction
of the law. hut Mr.. Lyon feels that
the act Of 1908 shoull be carried out
to the letter and the registration
books be pur"rd of thousands of
the State and that hereafter the
boards Of registration Shnuld be re-
Tnirrd tn keep the h""liS clean. This
point was made in Barnwcll county
made ,n "rl ny petition I" v"t" out
| the lSrrnsary. The names Of hum
,llr,lS "f voters were counted in when
they were not entitled t" registration.
Sine" then Gov. Nn~"l '!a> made 1t
plain to all hnr,.i~ thai III" law
should be strictly rni"rrrh.
The request for this opinion came
| u,,,n ON u ulrr' from II citizen Of
Dillon interested in the establishment
of new county in thr upper section
Of Marion county. It is therefore Of
considerable Importance rs ii is pro-
bablc that an election on the petition
presented will be ordered within tho
next few mouths.

1t is true that the prcsilcn, and Sec
retary Taft have never advocated the
popular election of senator's. They
seem to take the Hamiltonian rather
than the .Iclicrsonian view. but the
most popular reform in United States
today is the reform that has for its
object the election Of United States
senators by direct vote. II has five
times been endorsed by the national
house of rcprcscntat-:cs-th thrcc times
when the house of representatives
was Republican. 1t has been cndors-
ed by nearly two-thirds of the States
of the Union and there is probably
not Il State in the Union in which it
would not be endorsed at Il popular
election and yet in spite Of the record
made in the houses and by the var
ious States. this reform is rejected BY
a Z TO vote in a Republican convcn-
ton.

NAed of Wider ParkMaXs.

One of the most difficult questions to
determine one over which there Is a
great diversity of opinion among engi-
neers and other city officials. Is the
proper proportion between the side
walk and travelled roadway widths Of
any street. says the Los Angeles
Times. BY sidewalk width is meant
the space from the gutter or curb line
to the fence or street line. including in
addition to the hardened portion of the
walk the grass strips on one or both
eides OF the walk. The width of road
way should be only sufficient to &C.
eommodate the vehicuar traffic which
may be expected to use it. Many cit
les and towns make great mistake in
laying out too wide rOadways. espe-
cially upon residential streets. Such
errors In Judgment result in an addi-
tional burden upon the taxpayers for
street cleaning and sprinkling, and the
abutting property owner gets In return
additional dust. noise. street excava-
fions and all accompanying discom-
forts. They are also deprived of that
pleasure and restfulness which would
be ;':Iined by the use of such unnec-
CESAR; roadway widths for additional
sidewalk spaces with attractive green

The Cleanest Town.

The cleanest town in the world is
said to be Brock. in Holland. IT Is
only few miles from the capital and
has been famous for Its cleanliness
from time immemOrial. 1t is also
notable on account of the fanciful
style Of its houses and yards and gar
dens and streets. The people, though
only peasants, are well to do, and all
feel pride In their town. 1t seems
10 be the first business of their lives
to keep their houses freshly painted,
their gardens in perfect order and
their yards and streets as clean as
parlor. No carts are allowed in the
streets and no cattle. though the rails
ing Of stock and the making of butter
and cheese are their occupations.

Fraud Order Issued Against a Puzzle
Contest Concern.
One Of the latest fraud orders issued
by the postofice department forbids
the further use of the mails to the
Hopkins Publishing company. that he.
ing the name under which the C. T..
Ellis Publishing company Of New York
city has carried on an extensive mail
order business for several years.
The evidence upon which the depart
ment stopped this concern from using
the United States mails shows that
the firm published sever"l cheap pa
pers containing various 50 called puZ-
zle contests. Those who won prizes
were required to send a dollar for
subscription to one of the papers and
to cover cost Of packing and mailing
the prize. The postofIice department
claims that the prizes were never
worth as much as a dollar.
Schemes like this for deluding the
unthinking reader undoubtedly serve

er, but the local citizen with whom
the money was spent, and incidentally
the whole community would be bene-
flied by h. jig more cash in cireula-

While tie postofiice department usu-
ally runs down such schemes and
squelches them In the course of time,
the promoters, as a rule, get many
easy dollars before they are checked
AS Abraham Lincoln might say, this
reminds us Of story:
Once there was a man fishing in a
pond with a great number of hooks
carrying bait which was forbidden by
the game laws. The big catfish, who
was monarch of the pond, shifted at
the bait and turned tail.
THE fish and game warden will get
that Teller mighty soon," said the cat.
THAT may be-" replied the big eel,
who was a slick article himself, but
before the warden gets him a whole

RAILWAY BEAUTY SPOTS.
Phlox and Hydranseas For Stations
Blue Grass For Right of Way.


One of the good things for which
people have to thank the railroads is
the progress they are making In beau
tifying their right Of way.
1t is the practice of the Pennsylva-
mia, as Moody's Magazine points out,
to surround its passenger stations with
little parks with terraces and grace
fully curving paths and rOadways. To
care for these station parks is part Of
the duty of the maintenance Of way

road. which is a subsidiary of the
Pennsylvania 600 trees and shrubs
besides beds OF phlox and hydrangeas
were set out in 1907. For another sta
ton on the Long Island railroad 420
shrubs and twelve trees have been
ordered of the so called perennials and
evergreens.
In the open country, too, far from
towns, the Pennsylvania has adopted
the policy of making It's right of way
pleasant to look at. Slopes of insight
ly rock or dirt are transformed into
green terraces.
Henceforth the standard rOadbed,
when the tracks are in cut, will In
clude the sodded slopes. Blue grass
used for sodding will prevent the ero-
sion which has given engineers so
much trouble in times past. In help
ing to solve the drainage problem the
grass is even more useful than it is
ornamental.

him to O doctor and tried half dozen
other treatments, all with the same
result: no Improvement at all. The
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part Of his body was quite raw.
We had TO strap him down in bed, for
he used to tear himself dreadfully in
his sleep. The agony he went through
is quite beyond words. No one thought
We would rear him. The regimental
doctor, q very clever man, pronounced
the case hopeless; at least, he said the
only hope was that he might, If he
lived long enough, outgrow it to some
extent. We had him in hospitals four
times and he was pronounced one OF
the worst cases, If not the worst. ever
admitted. From each he was dis
charged as incurable; in fact he got
worse under the successive treatments.
At one hospital they incased him in
plaster. and this seemed to aggravate
the soreness terribly. He looked so
badly that no one liked to go near him
and his life was q burden to him. We
kept trying remedy after remedy, but
we had got almost past hoping for q
cure. Six months ago we purchased
set OF Cuticura SOAP, Ointment, and
Resolvent Pills and persevered with
them. The result was truly marvellous
and to-day he is perfectly cured, his skin
not having a blemish on it anywhere.

Emerson died April 81, 1882, from the
effects of a severe cold. A most dis
tinguished company attended the fu-
neral, and he was buried near the
graves Of Hawthorne and Thoreau.
The celebra tion of his one hundredth
birthday in 1903 served to show how
wide and deep had been his influence
for there was a public recognition of
his ethical and poetic genius in every
quarter of the globe, accompanied by
the perception that a distinct Emer-
sonian school of thought had arisen
IT is in the class with the two world
renowned authors, Plato and Goethe
that Emerson will stand hereafter, for
though less copious and less imagina-
tive than either, he has no less origi-
nality than they. and his expression OF
profound thought and ethical truth was
guided by taste even better than
theirs.
