POpula- Representa-.

The Constitution provides that
the number of representatives shall
not exceed one for every thirty thous-
and" of population If the ratio of
one for every thirty thousand of pop
ulation had been accepted the Sixty
third congress would probably have
membership of about 5000, a truly
appalling suggestion. Happily and
wisely, no such rule has been follow
ed The ratio of representation to
total population stands:
1900, | to 100000; 1910, to $4,000;
1920, to 10000; 1880, ] to 10000;
1910. to 70,6S0; 1850, to 93,423;
1860, to 127,SS1; 1870, l to 1871 ,425;
1880, ! to 151,9l1; 1890, to 173,901;
1900, to 194,1S3.
If the average of $4,000 constitu-
ents to a representative makes a CON
siderable army for him to keep sup
piled with seeds and speeches, it is
perhaps equally true that a standing
army OF 391 representatives is as
large as is actually indispensable to
the welfare Of the nation. Arguments
for a House containing only three
hundred or even two hundred mem
bers duly apportioned among the
states on the basis of population are
not unfamiliar.
The discussion Is pertinent because
the matter of reapportionment will
naturally come up after the compile
ton of the present census. Perhaps
the most that can be hoped for is
that the increase of membership in
eyltable as a result Of the new cen
sus will not exceed 10 per cent. Yet
even this will mean at best forty new
members and necessitate a complete
Encouragement OF the floor accommo-
dations in the House. It may even re-
suit in the substitution Of benches for
desks.
The subject of reapportionment
may be expected to occasion ANNA
ted debate and some divergence of
opinion in the next Congress.

ANNIVERSARY OF BAPTISM
OF FIRST MIMAC INDIAN

st. John, n. b., June PA ter
centenary celebration of the first
baptismo a Micmc Indian was held
today at Restigouche. n. b., and was
marked by one of the most interest
ing religious ceremonies ever held in
Canada. All of the principal Roman
Catholic orders of the North Ameri-
can continent were represented and
many high church dignitaries and
civil authorities were present.
1t was just 300 years ago, on st,
Johns Day, 1919, that the aged chief
of the Mcmic, Memberton, then
about 100 years of age, was baptized
into the Christian faith, and his con-
version was soon followed by the
baptism of the entire tribe.
The vanishing remnants of the Mic
mac Indians participated in today's
celebration. Not more than 500 are
left, scattered throughout eastern
Canada and on reservation in New
foundland, and 1t is doubtful If there
Is a single pure-blooded Micmic
among them. They still hold to the
primitive hunting and trapping and
have acquired little knowledge of ag-
riculture. Perhaps to n greater eX-
tent than any other Indian tribe they
have maintained the early baptismal
vows of their fathers. Their life is
clean. peaceful and exceedingly reli-
gious and fire-water is seldom used.

BATHING DAY IN MEXICO.
All Mexicans Take a Real Bath or
This Day


City of Mexico, June 24.-It is a
safe proposition to wager that no
other nation on the globe has pop
ulation as clean as that of Mexico to-
day. 1t is possible that this may not
be true of other days of the year,
but today this is the real "spotless
town." so far as personal cleanliness
is concerned. 1t is the day set aside
to st. John the Baptist, and the ex-
ample of immersion set by him is fol-
lowed every June "a by all pious Mex
leans.
Whatever may be the attitude of
the Mexican toward ablutions on
other DAYS Of the year, upon the
birthday of John the Baptist 1t is con-
sidered necessary to take real bath
Those who believe that mere
sprinkle or shower over the head and
face is sufficient to pass for bath
at other seasons of the year, know
that they cannot violate the time
honored mandate of the ages to inn
merse and submerge themselves IN
water on the anniversary of the birth
of st. John.
Measures were taken by the city
authorities to provide sufficient wa
ter to go around today. 1t is figured
that about 100000 gallons Of water
will be enough to give everybody in
the federal district bath.
This allows for population OF nan
million and figures ten gallons tc
each bath. For many this may be
too much, but it has been figured as
the mean average.
Besides, there are thousands wh'
will go to the creeks, canals and riv'
ers to battle.

THE DOG-SREEP DISCUSSION.
A Strong Defense For Mr.. Dog.

Editor Greene County Herald
AS there has been so much said a.
bout the dog and sheep l would like
to say a woro or two If you are not
worried too, much about it.
Now Mr.. sheep man has ten head
of sheep that he doesn't have to
pay taxes on and>if the dog kills a
sheep he can kill. tee dog without any
obligations to the owner at all and If
the hog kills sheep he can sell the
hog to pay for the sheep, so what
more protection does he want?
Now while the sheep man owns ten
sheep that he doesn't have to pay
taxes on. the former ought to own
one dog he wouldn t have to pay tax
es on. a dog that slips around and
kills sheep and sucks eggs ought to
be killed but all dogs are not pliers
as the Perry County Review might
think. e~
If you will show me one sheep man
that doesn't own more than one dog.
then l will show YOU nine that does.
| know sheep men in this neighbor-
hood that would paw ten dollars tax
es on their dog before they would
kill or suffer HIM to be killed. Then
why should we who have no sheep
want a dog tax?
The dog cEases the wildcat that is
worse on lambs than the dog He
catches the fox, 'possum and civet
cat that is so destructive to the
chicken. It's the good old dog that
watches while we Sleep aud raises an
alarm when anything goes wrong.

1t is the solemn thought connect
ed with middle life that life's last
business is begun in earnest; and it
is then midday between the cradle
and the grave. that q man begins to
marvel that be let the days of youth
60 by SO half enjoyed. 1t is the pen
sive autumn feeling; it is the sensa-
ton of half sadness that we expert
ence when the longest day of the
year is past, and every day that fol-
lows is shorter and the LIGHT fainter
and the feebler shadows tell that Ma
ture is Fastening with gigantic foot
steps TO her winter grave. So does
man look back upon his youth. When
the first gray hair become visible.
when the unwelcome truth fastens
itself upon the mind that a man is no
longer going up hill, but down and
that the sun is always westering he
looks back on things behind. Whom
we were children we thought as chill
dren. But now there lies before US
manhood, with its earnest work and
then old age, and then the grave, and
then home. There is a second youth
for man, better and holier than his
first, if he will look on, and not 'ook
back.
