The Philosophers and the Frog

BY a Special Correspondent.
Or; safforf, for many years pro-
fessor Of chemistry in the Medical
College of the University of Nash
ville used to tell his students ia
ble--the moral of which was "prov,.
it," Certain wise men were gathered
together to ascertain the explanation
of statement that when two glasses
of water of equal weight are balanced
on the beams of a balance scale and
sells the balance remains the same,
thus attempting to prove the asser-
ton that frog has no weight Which,
immersed in water, Each wise man
had his own explanation, and thers
was much heated argument and dis
cussion. At length one of the wise
men said: But is your statement
true? Let's prove it." OF course when
it came to proving it, they couldn't.
So when you hear people say that
Coco-Cola is injurious, just ask
them to prove it. They cant. Nobody
can, because it is not injurious. But
on the other hand it can be proved
that it is not injurious by chemical
analysis. Or if you are not chemist
yourself, why not accept the verdict
of every competent chemist who ever
analyzed it? Eminent College and
University chemists, government
and state and city chemists-all have

Sunday Night Services.

Because of the large number OF
church goers in WaXahachie, and the
inability of any one church to hold
the congregations, the pastors of the
other churches, in view of the meet
ing now in progress at the Central
Presbyterian church, have thought it
best not to dismiss all the congrega-
tons on any one Sunday evening, but
to alternate. Hence on tomorrow
evening there will be no services at
the First Presbyterian and First
Baptist churches and the fo,lawlng
Sunday none at the Methodist and
Main Street Christian churches.

The house measure for the cleo
ton of senators is the Borah resolu-
ton, precisely as it was reported to
the senate from the committee on
the judiciary, at the last session. II
proposes not only the election of
senators by the people, but to take
away from congress the power to su-
peryise the election. When Bartlett
of Georgia, speaking briefly on the
subject, in the house, declared that
he and a number of other southern
members would not vote for the first
proposition unless the second were
coupled with it, Young of Michigan
who led the republican opposition,
retOrted that some southern mem
bers were more interested in accomp-
fishing the latter object, with regard
to southern elections than in the
manner Of electing senators.
The democratic contention, how
ever, was that to change the manner
Of electing senator's, from the legis-
latures to the people, and not restrict
the power of federal supervision, at
the same time, would enlarge the
federal power on this point
Congress has no power to pres
crbe the voters qualifications In
any state, except that no discrimina-
ton shall be made on account of
race, color or previous condition Of
| seryitude. But it has, admittedly,
under the constitution as it has been
from the first the power to super
wise the election Of members of The
house, and see that voters, having
the necessary qualifications under
the state law, are permitted to vote
| and that their votes are properly
counted and certified.
And so the senate may now in
quire into the election of a senator
by the legislature, but it has no pow
er to inquire into the election Of
members Of the legislature With the
election Of senators by thn people.
and no further change in The coGsti-
tuition, the senate would have the
power 10 investigate an election In

every precinct in the state-just as
exercise its admitted authority SUI
Je,vise the election OF its members
In all precincts of their districts.
This was the basis of the Force bill
whose passage was attempted in
1S90-91.
The question was suggested
whether the proposed changes in the
constitution would not remove the
power of federal supervision of the
election not only of senators, but OF
representatives, also. But the reply
was APPLY made that the choosing OF
presidential electors had been safely
left in the hands of the state author
tiles for more than a century, and
that the election of senators might
with equal safety, be left to the same
authorities.
An effort to insert the Sutherland
amendment into the resolution was
defeated and it passed without a
single change The vote, indeed, was
remarkable, there being 296 votes
for it and only sixteen against 1t. or

republicans who had fought the res
olution finally voted for 1t, because
