Tackled on to the bill increasing

itiatlve and referendum feature
suggested by Senator Burton of
Ohio. Referring to this feature
the Associated Press report says;
1t provided that IN case of an
increase in the representation of
any state, the redistricting, in
stead of being done by the state
legislature as provided by the
house bill, should be Sin the man
ner provided by the laws" OF the
state, thus leaving the redistrict-
ing subject to the initiative and
referendum laws wherever they
have been placed in states
statute books. These states have
adopted the initiative and refer
endum in the form OF constitli-
tional amendments. Oregon,
Oklahoma, Nevada, Missouri,
Montana, South Dakota, Color
ado, Arkansas and Maine. Utah
had adopted a similar amend
ment, but the provision is mop
erat1ve, because Of the failure ot
the legislature to enact the nee
essary accompanying legtsla-
tion. Besides these III the fol-
lowing states such an amend
ment has been submitted by the
legislature, but has not yet been
voted upon. California, Wash

CURIOUS BITS
OF THTSTO RI
a SEVEN DAYS FISHERMAN
KING.
BY A. w. MACY.

In 1647, when the kingdom cf
Naples was under the grinding
rule Of Spain. a fisherman Of
Sorrento was stuno to madness
by the ndignites offered his
wife by Spanish officials, be
cause she had attempted to
smugale few handfuls Of flour.
So furious was he that he tore
down an edict that had Just
been posted by the authorities.
The whole population, including
women and children, rallied
around him. Forty years of
Spanish oppression had made
them frantic. They terrified the
viceroy, resisted the soldiers
successfully, ard killed many Of
the Spanish residents. They Sc
cured a revocation of many OBJ
noxious edicts, the aholishment
of oppressive taxes, and full

the insurrection. The fisherman,
whose name was Mssanielo, was
the leader in all this, and be
came the idol of the people. He
ruled Naples for seven days, but
his SUCCESS seems to have
turned his head. He became
dictatoriaI and oppressive, and
was put to death by the popu-
lace. Hence he is called the
Seven Days King.

POSTAL BANKS
ARE A SUCCESS

Washington, Aug. 13.-En-
couraged by the success of the
full trail of two weeks of postal
savings system in the great post
Office of New York. st. Louis
and Boston, Postmaster General
Hitchcock has decided to extend
the system rapidly to all the large
cities and today designated as
postal savings depositaries Kan
sas City, Pittsburg, Detroit, Buff
alo, San Francisco, Cincinnati,
Seattle, Indianapolis, Denver
and Portland, Ore.
The deposits in New York,
Chicago, st. Louis and Boston,
first five days, amounted to
$4,000, at which rate the an.
nual deposits for the four cities
would amount to about $7,O0O,-
900. There are altogether four
hundred and twenty-six large
city postohices in the first-class-
and it is the purpose to have
them all designated as Postal
savings depositarles before the
first of the year.
With few exceptions the offices
of the second-class OF which there
are 1000 already have been de-
signated and very shortly the
designation of third class Offices
will be.

PIPE SHIPMENT
OF EXPOSITION

L he curiosity OF residents OF
this city may already have been,
or may be aroused at any time
now, by sight of a long train
OF freight cars on side track or
passing through town, the cars
all loaded with long sections of
waterpipe and the Swaterpipe
labeled "San Diego Exposition,
1915 Panama Exposition,
San Diego, Cal, 1915 was the
inscription in large sized letters
on 27 carloads of 36-in. sewer
pipe for that city that passed
through Winslow last Sunday
from Bessmer, Ala. The work
for the exposition in that city
has commenced in earnest and
no doubt will be good one and
the making of San Diego.
The explanation of the unus-
ual sight is this: The city of
San Diego, California, is prepar-
ing for the Panama-California
Exposition, to he held there
throughout the 'entire year of
1915, and one of the first great
problems that confronted the
San Diego city fathers was to
provide an ample water system
for the great fourteen hundred
acre park, known as Balboa
Park, which has been chosen as
the site of the exposition. There
is ample supply of water, drawn
from the watersheds in the
mountains back of the city, but
in order to distribute it through
the great park nearly eight
thousand tons of cast iron water
pipe are required. In other
words, this is Just about fifteen
miles of pipe.
The contract for this pipe was
given to the the United States
Pipe Company, of Birmingham,
Alabama. 1t will require 375
fiat cars to transport it to San
Diego from the factory, These
will be made up into thirteen
trains, and these trains, in NOV
ing from Birmingham to San
Diego, will pass over the rails OF
fourteen different railway sys-
tens.
The United States Pipe Com
pany and the railroad companies
concerned got together and de-
cided to give the city of San
Diego and the Panama Calitor-
MIA Exposition a big boost
through the handling of this
tremendous shipment across the
continent, and SO a representa-
tive of the city OF San Diego was
sent to Birmingham at its ex-
peDse to have painted on every
carload of pipe sent out from
Birmingham to San Diego the
legend: "San Diego Exposition
1915"

THE GEM RESTAURANT.
A Much Needed Convenience to Gov
ingtGn Visitors and to Home
People.

Mr. w. n. Patrick is anticipating
the needs of visitors to Covington
and of home people by adding to the
Gem restaurant separate dining
room for ladies, distinct and apart
from the gentlemen's dining room.
This is a privacy that will be great
ly appreciated, not alone by visitors
of the day but by many whose
engagements Interfere with the
routine of household duties and make
the usual dinner hour an impossible
part of their program.
Mr.. Patrick is giving the Gem
restaurant a thorough overhauling,
with a view not simply of giving
comfortable quarters to his guests,
but Of maintaing sanitary precau-
tons and healthful conditions that
will meet popular approval. The
/ cuisine will be of the best and every
attention will be bestowed upon pa
irons. Being just across from the
depot, it will be convenient for those
awaiting the arrival or departure of
trains or wishing quickly served
meals or luncheon. Patrons can
either partake of the regular meals
served, which are excellent, or can
order from the bill Of fare. The
Gem restaurant affords the same OPP
portunity for good service that is
/ found in metropolitan cities, the
chef being one whose reputation is
a recommendation to the most re-
fined taste and the bill of fare such
as to supply the demand Of the most
eXacting, while prices are reasonable.

OPINION
..SSISlHl1l: ~
Versatility In the Army.
(Chicapo News).

= Is there anything that cannot be
done by officers Of the United States
Army? And done exceptionally we'll?
There Is nothing. For example, take
Colonel Cocktails and watch him Con-
struct the Panama aCnal with ease
and grace after avrious civilians had
tried their hands at the job without
achieving any ghttering success.
Then take the FIVE bachelor lieuten-
ants at Fort Scriven, Georgia, who
gave ohafng dish party, the partic-
ulars Of which we find in the Army
and Navy Journal. It was a surprise
party. It was given in the Bachelors
Club. The service publication which
makes known the achievements Of
these heroes justly remarks that "a
great deal OF praise is due the bach
elors for having given such an elabor-
ate party without the assistances Of
the ladies Of the post" For example:
"The dlnlng.room and den, in themsel.
yes very handsome, were lavishly dec
GRATED with carnations and ferns. The
beautiful pale pink flowers were mas,
sed in profusion on the mantel and
library table, in the den. In the din
ing.room large vase, filed with the
same gorgeous flowers adorned the
table. AS a souvenir Of the occasion
a largo bouquet, tied with pink tulle,
was presented to each of the young
ladies present. A delightful Welsh
rabbit was served with dainty sand.
witches, and mild punch was served
during the evening" Is 1t not plain
that these bachelors are artlcts and
poets as well as warriors? What
bachelor outside the service would lie
a bow ofpink tulle around a bouquet?
Doubtless, also, any one OF the FIVE,
like Cyrano, could compose ballade
while preparing to transfix an enemy
on the point of his servide sword.
Gentlemen. a toast, standing, to the
army men who can concoct a Welsh
rabbit which will not kill either at
close or long range.
