known as "slow spilling area
which means that the water OF d.

the reason that through the drainage

ETIQUETTE IN SIAM.
On Hands and Knees Before. the King
Was Lona tho Custom There.

Was Long the Custom There.
Perhaps the most revolutionary re
form carried out by the late king of
Siam was the abolition of the arbi
trary rule Of etiquette which forbade
an inferior in rank to raise his head
above that Of superior or even level
with 1t. The inferior must not even
pass over a bridge while superior
was underneath it, nor must he enter
room in an upper story while SUI
perior was occupying a room beneath
1t. Servants approached their mas
tiers on hands and knees. This Gus
tom is by no means obsolete today in
spite Of the royal edict, for many of
the powerful mobiles who live far
away from the court still enforce it.
In 1874 the king held large court,
at which no one present presumed to
appear otherwise than on hands and
knees. 1t was at this audience that
the edict forbidding the custom was
read to the PROSTATE multitude. They
there and then rose and stood like
men in the presence of their sovereign
for the first time on record Since
then there has been no prostration at
the royal audiences. But If a supe-
rior stops to speak to an inferior in
the street the latter will still bend or
lower his head in some way as
mark of respect. $3.50 London Saturday

SnoiIed La the Making.

Behold, when a man on trolley
car removed his hat the other day little
Willie observed that he was bald-yea,
very bald, for not a single hirsute
rambler trailed over his shining pate.
But when it came to whiskers the
bald party was right there with the
lilacs. He had whiskers In bundles,
whlskers in stacks. In fact he had
enough whiskers to start a rat factory
and make a fortune.

Willie, turning to his mother, "just
look at that man there"

hasty response to intermittent objection.
We have developed as nation with
reverence for our courts. They have
been the bulwark of law and order. In
the matter of reviewing the enactnents
of Congress, while the present system
may give the judiciary undue superior
ity, it is difficult to see how any other
plan is to be made operative without
destroying the firm foundation upon
which we rest. Only the most radical
will agree that Congress may enact
any legislation, no matter how much at
variance with the Constitution, without
an opportunity being afforded some
where for the error to be rectihed.
1t would be different If, like Great
Britain, our Constitution was an un-
written document With a written
charter, however, the necessity for the
enactment of laws in harmony with its
terms is not to be denied, and the final
arbiter of this relation is, and will con-
tinue to be, the Supreme Court of the
United States.

BRYAN ASSALS EFFORTS.
TO BLOCK TARIFF CHANGE
Commoner Authorizes Statement Denouncng Repre-
sentative Underwood for Activity in Defeating
Steel and Iron Schedule Reduction

tributed 10 his connection with the busi-
ness, but even this did not move him.
Some OF the Democrats thought Mr.
Bryan did Mr.. Underwood an injustice
when he charged him with being tainted
with protection. What do these Demo-
Gratis think now, since Mr.. Underwood
has put himself at the head of the op-
position to Speaker Clark's tariff reduc-
ton programme.
THE tariff on wool was the camers
nose. The animal is trying to enter the
tent.
THE unmasking of Chairman Under
wood will serve a useful purpose II Il
arouses the Democrats to an understand
ing of the mistake made in putting Mr..
Underwood at the head Of the committee
II he solidifles his policy of delay.
THE most effective way to shear him
of his power Is to change the caucus rules
so as to require n public record vote on
every question affecting the party's pol
icy. Protection Is nocturnal animal. 1t
shuns the light. A record vote open to
the newspapers would have enabled Clark
to have carried his resolution. The cau-
Gus rules ought to be changed at once"

The George Washington Memorial

What has become of the George
Washington Memorial movement? No
evidence of activity has been noticed
for several months. Neither have there
been chronioled any new subscribers to
the fund, to which the Chamber of
Commerce gave $1,000 and to which
public-spirited citizens and organiza-
tions added similar sums. The propo-
sition is to erect in the Capital City
$2,5oo,ooo memorial, one-tenth of the
total cost to be contributed here. Much
enthusiasm was manifested in the be-
ginning, and the city was mapped out
for systematic solicitation. Interest in
the matter has waned, and stagnation
is at hand.
All are agreed that one of the greatest
needs of this city is an adequate con-
vention hall. To make the Capital City
the convention city of the country has
been the dream of Washingtonians for
a decade past Here is a chance to
obtain the coveted structure at COM
paratively small outlay. 1t is to be
hoped that the lack of interest is only
temporary.

The sections Of the discarded Treasury

This is a fine place to study the super

afraid of that.

Lincoln. Nebr., Aug. 1.-The recent ac-
tivity of Representative Underwood in
defeating an attempt by Champ Clark
and others to reduce the steel and iron
schedule has met with the disapproval
OF w. J. Bryan.
To-day Bryan authorized the following
statement: THE action of Chairman I'm
derwood in opposing an immediate effort
to reduce the iron and steel schedule re-
veals the real Underwood. Speaker Clark
and other tariff reformers tried to secure
the passage of a resolution instructing
the Ways and Means Committee to take
up other schedules, including the iron and
steel schedule, but Underwood and FItz-
gerald, Of New York. the Fitzgerald who
saved Cannon in the last Congress, sue
ceeded in defeating the resolution.
"Mr. Kitchen, a member of the COM
mittee, reminded Mr.. Underwood that he
had told the country that all his worldly
goods were tied up in the iron and steel
industry and that a failure to report a
bill covering that schedule must be at
