Q.-But an attempt by congress

1T is easy to see in the eXalta-
ton of the federal judiciary sur
vival of the old medieval doctrine
that the king can di no wrong. In
fact, much the same attitude of
mind which made monarchy pos
sible may be seen in this country
in our attitude toward the supreme
court. AS long as the people rev
erenced the king, his irresponsible
power rested on a secure founda-
ton. To destroy the belief in his
superior wisdom and virtue WIS 20
destroy the basis of his authority
Hence all criticism of the king or
his policy was regarded as an at
tack on the system itself and
treated accordingly as serious
crime"

STICK FOR
So DAYS
Especial to The Press)

OLYMPIA, Jan. 20.-In defeating
the motion to make the session
end in 40 instead of so days the
senate displayed remarkable self
restraint. Heretofore this motion
has been the signal for a large
number of senators to get ready
to make a record for themselves
at positively no expense. free
gratis and for nothing. There
wasn't the romtest chance in the
world that the legislature would
agree to adjourn at the end of 40
days, so that the senator who in
troduced the resolution and those
who voted for it, take absolutely
no risk, while they have some
thing nice to show their admiring
constituents as evidence of re-
gard for the expenses of the state.
Last session this resolution pass
ed the senate and several mem
bers almost made reputation.
They knew, of course, that the
resolution would be promptly be-
headed in the house, but the Of
fetal records show their intention.
This year but six members Of
the upper house voted for the
short session. Just what the inner.
most intentions of these gentle
men were, of course 1t is not mete
to say, but the fact remains that
the initial letters of their names
are well down toward the bottom
of the roll call and it was evident
when they voted that the resolu-
ton had already been defeated.
AS a matter of fact the resolu-
ton Is about the best, and will
probably be considered the best,
introduced at the present session
and there is no trouble in getting
a majority of the members of both
houses to admit 1t. II has cost the
state about $4,000 already for this
session, and 1t is extremely doubt
full whether the return to date is
worth $40. 1t has confirmed in the
minds of some that their responsi-
bilities are great, but otherwise 1t
looks like good money gone astray

treatment. She claims that her
husband, who is bookkeeper and
the owner of considerable real es.

her to 60 out and work for wages,
and that during their married life
she worked steadily, many days
when she was hardly able to move.

she might not have to do house
work on returning home tired in
the evening. she says he refused
to do so. The husband made no

THE FATHER OF
MEMORIAL DAY

The first official observance OF May
80 as a day for the decoration Of the
/, graves of union lead followed a proc
lamation issued from the headquarters
of the Grand Army of the Republic on
May s. 1868. by General John A. Logan,
commander in chief. This order read:
The Both OF May, 1868. is designated
for the purpose of strewing with flow
: ers or otherwise decorating the graves
of comrades who died in defense OF
their country during the late rebellion
n whose bodies now lie in almost
every city, village, hamlet and church,
yard in the land. In this observation
no form of ceremony is prescribed, but
posts and comrades will in their own
way arrange such fitting services and
testimonials of respect as circum-
stances may permit.
w are organized, comrades. as our
regulations tell US, for the purpose,
among other things. of preserving and
Strengthening those kind and fraternal
! feelings which have bound together
soldiers, sailors and marines who unit

bellion.'

memory of our heroic dead. who made
their breasts n barricade between our

lives were the reveille of freedom to a
race in chains and their deaths the tat

should guard their graves with sacred
vigilance. All that the conSecrated
wealth and taste Of the nation can add
to their adornment and security is but
a fitting tribute to the memory OF her
slain defenders. Let no wanton foot
tread rudely in such hallowed grounds.
Let pleasant paths invite the coming

Irving Bachelor is the authority for
this explanation OF how old Commodore
Vanderbilt came to induct his son Will
lam into the railroad business. In The
Hand Made Gentleman" Mr.. Bachelor
makes the commodore say:
Let me tell o a story: Bill is a
fat, good natured cuss, n wants TO
take IL easy, like all boys with a rich
father. / told him that l wouldn't
have him loaing around, and / sent
him down on the farm and put him
to work there, and Bill is getting
along. He played a good joke on me,
and I've made up my mind that he'll
do for the railroad business.
He says TO me the other day,
Father, l need some IN for the
farm
well boy, how much do you want p
/ says.
Seven or eight loads says he.
How muchll you pay a a d says
/.
"a dollar a load says he.
".All right l says to him. Come over
&c the ear stables and get all you need
at that figure
What do you suppose the cuss done
to me? He come over and got eight
schooner loads!"
Mr.. Vanderbilt roared with laughter.
You're no farmer / says to him.
Come right over and learn the railroad
business"

Bravery That is Unrequited.

From the North American Review.
Before our retrospective vision
picture after picture appears to
complete the panorama. We are
cognizant Of the hustle Of preparation:
the hasty grouping of individuals into
tentative organizations we now hear the
drum and bugIe: excitement and confu-
sion are welcomed 10 assuage grief: but
the hour of parting is inevitable and comes
all too soon. How many veterans recall
that saddest moment in life when, with
choking throats. they tried in vain TO say
good-by, and. turning, took a last look a.
the weeping wives and daughters, and the
~dry-eyed, bravely smiling mothers striy-
ing with all the courage Of a ~reticent race
10 fill the hearts of their departing loved
ones with strength and hope and conceal
tho bleeding OF their own. What knew
these men, or what can any men know, OF
heroism? Deeds are but natural conse-
quences Of circumstances, environment
necessity. Suffering springs from helpless
waiting. All that the great armies OF men
did in that awful war would weigh but az
a feather in the balance against the
anguish Of those left behind 10 hope and
fear and constant dread. Could the graves
of all who gave their lives or happiness TO
their nation be decorated this day, how
many more would be those Of Americas
noble women But no, The wife's sacri-
flee is too great 10 find requittal; the
mothers love is sacred 70 her own. The
freshest OF flowers betokening our most
grateful recognition would wither and die
beneath the smiles of heaven bestowed as
rays of sunshine upon those tender MEM
cries.
All honor. then. 10 the veterans of the
great war who still live: and 10 those who
have died. peace everlasting.

THINK HARD.
Ii Pays 10 Think About Food.

The unthlnking life some people
lead often causes trouble and sickness,
illustrated in the experience of a lady
in Fond du Lac, Wis.
About four years ago suffered
dreadfully from Indigestion, always
having eaten whatever | liked, not
thinking of the digestible qualities,
This indigestion caused palpitation of
the heart SO badly | could not walk up
a fight of stairs without sitting down
once or twice to regain breath and
strength.
Il became alarmed and tried diet
ing, wore my clothes very loose, and
many other remedies, but found no re-
lief.
Hearing of the virtues of Grape
Nuts and Postum. | commenced using
them in place Of my usual breakfast Of
coffee, cakes, or hot biscuit. and in one
weeks time | was relieved of sour
stomach and other Ills attending ipdi-
g%estion. In a months time my heart
was performing its functions naturally
and l could climb stairs and hills and
walk long distances.
II gained ten pounds in this short
time, and my skin became clear and |
completely regained my health and
strength. i continue TO use Grape Nuts
and Postum for | feel that / owe my
good health entirely TO their use.
There's a Reason

Nuts and by making Postum according
to directions, it tastes similar to mild

Hat Protector for Emergencies.

From the Cleveland PlS!n-Dealer.
Here's a little advice that IL COM
monty adopted would save hundreds
and even thousands of dollars to the
husbands Of this country. II is simply
a round piece Of waterproof silk, the
edge of which Is hemmed to form a
pocket for a gathering string. 1t is
so made that it could be slipped over
almost any hat and would In case Of
sudden shower protect 1t from the
ruinous dampness. The protector was
devised by a Pennsylvania man who
has evidently known the exquisite pain
of having his wife caught in the rain
IN the very day he had sent a check
big enough to support a home mis-
sionary for half a year TO pay for the
new spring bonnet she was wearing.
Such experiences are not pleasant, so
thought this ingenious man. II every
mn would just max one Of these
adjustable protectors and carry II in
her handbag whenever she went out,
think of the money that would be
saved to the husbands Of the land.
The drawstring underneath will enable
the cover to be drawn up to fit almost
any hat.

are thirty-two feet of human bowels,
which is really a sewer pipe. When this
pipe becomes clogged, the whole system
Becomes poisoned, causing biliousness, in

The First lifeboat.
From the Windsor Magazine.

From the Windsor Magazine.
Some may be surprised to learn that
the first %lifeboat, especially of the style
OF those adopted at the present time,
is still in existence at Redcar, in
Yorkshire. This boat was placed at
Redcar in the year 1902 to be used as
a BOA for saving life in storms or
other dangers to ships" coming into or
near the Mouth of the Tees. 1t was
built by a shipwright OF the neigh
ing port of Sunderland from plans of
his W invention, and parliament con-
sidered his work so m~eritorious and
advantageous that ii voted him q sum
of Gl,200 as "a reward for his time,
trouble and ingenuity. This fine old
boat did excellent service for over 20
years, and then. owing to the intro
duction of newer types and better
boats. it IA placed upon the retired
list" and transferred TO the he'd where
IL now is.

TO go out with me and see the fighting.
He didn't take much stock IN my asser-

same show Of energetic action. However,
neither side was attempting serious bust
