Constructive Living.
From the Nautilus.


Nothing good is accomplished by cru
sades for the stamping out of evil and
the suppression Of vice. Such movements
only increase vice. Progress is not ac-
compliShed by suppressing evil. but by
cultivating good And the good that is
10 be cultivated is always within your
self. You have no business To go around
trying to cultivate the good in other peO-
pie unless they invite you TO do so. Ii
is an unbearable impertinence for you TO
try To make other people better. until
they request you to do so. Mind your
own business. and speak constructively of
everything and of everybody. e.
If your wife makes a cake and il is a
failure. do not tell her about il: she
knows il. Tell her that her failures are
better than any other womans successes
and eat the cake; ask for a second piece.
She will try her very best to make good

making good cake for. and your husba nd

about pleasing YOU. You can easily guess
why Set To work at once to make your

"Dry Swimming"
From the Boston Post

From the Boston Post.
Physical Culture Supervisor Sudor Of
the Chicago public schools desires 10
interest the school authorities OF that
city in dry swimming
Swimming without water is literally
impossible. but Mr.. Sudor says il is
possible TO give profitable gymnasium
instruction in water locomotion. He
claims that from ~ to 90 per cent Of
pupils SO taught are able to swim the
first time they enter the water.
Mr. Sudor's discovery should commend
itself to school authorities everywhere
There is no adult who has not at some
time been exposed to danger OF death
by drowning. and J0 per cent is a liberal
estimate OF the number able TO swim. BE
tween 100 and 500 persons were drowned
in the United States in the summer OF
1908, which rolled up q total probably
no larger than that for tie summer lust
past. \ majority of these fatalities

If dry swimming is feasible there Is
no excuse for failure to adopt it.

MARYLAND.

The paramount issue in Maryland is the
so-called DISTINGUISHING amendment to the
state constitution, admittedly designed to
eliminate the negro as a political factor
in that state. In brief. the amendment
contains alternative provisions by which
the citizen may registe" and vote. First
is the so-called grandfather clause" pro-
viding for those who voted prior to 1869
and their descendants: secondly, a clause
whereby citizens naturaliZed prior to
November . 1909 and their descendants
NAV register and vote. All not included
within these clauses must either pay taxes
on property assessed at 500 or pass an
educa tiOnal test. The negro having had
no vote i'm Maryland prior to 1862. the
educational test applies almost exclu-
sively to him.
Maryland will elect a state controller
a new house of delegates. and half the
senate membership. The legislature. If
democratic, will return Senator Isidor
