WHAT IMPRESSED THE RUSSIAN.
American Astronomical DeIicacy Had
Appealed to Him.

Recently a member of the Russian
revolutionary party, who had been
through all sorts of exciting vicissi-
tudes in his native country, was on
visit to the United States.
Wishing to be polite to him and
talk on those subjects nearest the
Russians heart a gentleman who met
him asked all sorts of questions about
the Douma, the Gar, dynamite, and
everything else which he adjudged in
teresting to the foreigner
Then, when he could think of moth
ing more about Russia, he turned the
conversation in this direction:
L suppose that you find America a
striking contrast to your own country
full of liberty and respect for every
body's rights. 1t must seem peculiar
to you to note how little the govern
ment interferes with citizens as they
go about their daily work. And the
absence of soldiers-that must strike
you as strange after Russia 1 feel
sure that it must. Tell me, sir, what
is it that you like best about Amer
leap
The Russians eyes lighted up.

but the drummers did not, so he told
them.
ssThe man said he was in the en-
ploy of a cotton exporting firm; that
they bought cotton direct from farm
ers; that the farmer would not pro-
tect his cotton from the earth and
weather after ginning; that cotton
bales were always damaged from ly-

Bob Burdette in a lecture at Los
Angeles puts this pertinent question:
THE best girl ever''-whowas she?
What is she? Everybody knows her.
If you can't tell at the first guest,
you never will guess. Who was she
Ruth, standing breast-high amid
the summer corn? Esther, not dar-
ing to lift her dropping eyes to the
unmoving scepter, holding her life
and the peoples safely? Helen of
Troy, whose face launched thousaD
ships and turned crowned kings to
merchants? Portia, Shakespeare's per
fec woman, whose severed lips were
parted with sugar breath, whose hair
played the spider with its golden
mesh to entrap the hearts of men!
Juliet, the child sweetheart IN whose
starry eyes there lay more peril than
| in twenty unsheathed swords? Gen
tie Viola? Or, well certainly not An
ME Laurie, who permitted one man
to immortalize her with his serenade
and marry his rival
f"The Best Girl Ever',-the lovers
of the ages-every poet is a lover
have sung of her in happy chorus
! heaven is her soul-her soul within
her eyes; her heart on her lips; grace
| in her steps, beautiful as sweet,
and young as beautiful and soft as
young and gay as soft, and innocent
as gay. Angels are painted fair to
look like her That's her. And /
can prove it to every lover. Queen
of all seasons and all places-the girl

girls-the bride.
| Don't be NANNY. The Best Girl
| Ever"-must first of all, and all the
| time, be a girl. There's nothing else
on earth equal to her or like her.
There is not man living whom you
may initiate without losing some

+, your patent, your monopoly, your copy
right. There is no harm in you doing
| lots of the things men do, but do not

witty and clever, brilliant and fasci-
mating.
The many girl always overdoes the
NANNY things. In her frenzied efforts
to appear like a man she appears like
four or five men. The NANNY girl ex-
aggerates every characteristic of the
man whom she initiates. Two girls

be fascinating and chic under it. The
other, the NANNY girl, will locke like

MONEY AFTER 44TH AMENDMENT

Holding first that the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution OF the
United States was not constitutional
proposed to the states, because it
lacked the two-thirdS vote in the SEN
ate and the house when it was pre-
sented and secondly; that the amend
'ment was never ratified by three
fourths of the states, Senator Money,
of Mississippi, introduced a resolu-
ton directing the encouragement to
bring suit against the United States,
thereby getting the question before
the supreme court, which is the only
tribunal that can test the validity OF
the amendment. Senator Money said
that Ohio and New Jersey, after hay
ing accepted the fourteeneh amend
ment, subsequently rescinded their
action, which prevented it's ratiflca.
ton by the necessary twenty-eight
states. In fact, the ratificationists
never were able to count UP more
than twenty-seven states, even after
dragooning North Carolina and South
Corolina. These states at first dis
sented from the proposition to ratify
the amendment, but later gave their
assent. Senator Money says that he
is convinced that if the amendment
ever gets to the United States su-
preme court it will be declared un.
constitutional.
Senator Money expects to speak
on his resolution and at the same
time complete the interrupted speech
that he made on March 8, speech
which handled the race problem In
way that attracted extraordinary
attention throughout the country, -es-
pecially in Northern states. The
speech appeared IN the Record OF
March IL, sinch which time there has
been a growing demand for it, and
the senator has been Obliged to have
it published in pamphlet form, so nu-
merous have been the requests for
1T, accompanied with urgent requests
that he take occasion to complete
his argument on the race problem.
Washington Dispatch.
The records will bear out Senator
Moneys contention, but it is doubtful
after having been forced into the
Constitution by Republican despots,
whose purposes it was intended to
serve, and after having been in force
for 40 years, that it will be declared
unconstitutional. 1t is a wrong we
all pray may be righted, but are of
little faith that 1t will be.
