did it at two jumps, and he could have
jumped across a stream two hundred
feet wide il he could have had jumps
enough. The wireless messages, !,
seems, were ''relayed"-which is, being
interpreted, repeatedly steamers in

wireless communication was 1926 miles

One census enumeration in Maine says,
in response to the complaint that the
population returns for his territory are
too small, that the number of new
houses built in town in the past ten
years doesn't prove anything, but the
real reason that the increase of popula-
ton is actually smaller than was thought
is that families are smaller now than
they were ten years ago. And there's
meat in his explanation.

A very shrewd (?) scheme to save the
face of the anti-prohibitionists 10 the
coming campaign on the prohibitory
amendment Is credited to the brains OF
those same anti-prohibi,ionists, but full
examination of the scheme can not fail
to convince any one that the story was
concocted by the bigoted prohibitionists
10 discredit their opponents. In brief,
il is said that very few, even IL they do
not believe in prohibition, would have
the sand to 60 on the stump in the com.
ing campaign to argue for the repeal of
the prohibitory amendment. Hence the
scheme, which is for this legislature TO
pass "model license law" to take ef-
feet automatically when the prohibitory
amendment 10 repealed. With this
model license law, so called, which has
received the approval of temperance
people in some states where prohibition
Is at present absolutely unattainable,
the opponents of prohibition would have
some argument TO put before the people
in favor of the repeal of the amendment
A very cunning move, II it would work.
But, entirely aside from numerous other
objections which have been urged, In
there a precedent in the history of legis'
la,ion from the days of Moses, for pass
ing an unconstitutional law, to take Of
feet when the constitution has been
amended to dit IL?
