The Mississippi Floods

In spite of the amount of
work being done by the Fed
eral government for the con-
troll of the Mississippi river,
the disastrous flood which is
now devastating certain sec
tions of the Mississippi valley
proves that we are far from
having mastered the situation
The present outbreak of the
river W i'll serve to direct at
tention to a proposer method
of control which we are in
clined to think will prove to
be the ultimate solution of
the, problem We refer to
the plan of providing storage
reservoirs in the upper reach-
es Of the river, in which the
flood waters, due to spring
rains and the melting of the
SHOWS, could be impounded,

Education.

In a republic where the au
thority rests upon the will Of
the people, popular intelli
gence is essential to good gov
eminent, and the state, in self
defense, must reduce to a
minimum the area Of igno
rance and illiteracy. While
the presumption can usually
b. given the parent in matters
connected with the. training
Of the child, still this pre-
sumption is not inclusive and
may be rebutted by facts.
1t can generally be assumed
that parent will guard the
physical welfare Of. a child,
and yet We would not hesitate
to punish the father or mother
who would deliberately cut
off a boys arm and send him
out, thus disabled to meet the
competition of his fellows.
No more should a parent
be permitted to. disable a child
intellectually by depriving
him OF the education neeeSsa
~ for successful competition
with those among whom h
labors. TO condemn a child !
to ignorance in a land oil
schools and intelligence is ~ |
en- more cruel than to main
him. "A there is d school

Dear, EQltOr:
Permit me as one of the

The Rule Of Reason

The Rule OF ReasoI'
| When Chief Justice Of the
limited States Edward u.
| White invoked the rule OF
treason as an essential element
in Interpreting the laws Of the
limited States in twentieth
century, his striking deliver
ance was greeted with not a
! few significant winks and
mods by some of those ancient
bariisters who still stand on
the maxims of Magma Charta
but the meanings Of words
have changed because the
facts and conditions Of human
life have changed, says the
Pi;ayune.
| Thusit has come about that
when a courtgives judgement
upon technicalities and rem
derings Of statute commands
and the people are dissatisfied
there has been proposed that
not only the courts. judge
ment, but the court itself
shall be recalled and annulled
Any such treatment Of a judi
cial tribunal would destroy
forever it's importan &c. sane
tity and authority.
The true remedy is for the
courts and lawyers to keep
themselves in touch with the
facts Of life as they are; to
know the conditions under
which men and women work
and to study with sympathy
as we'll as with knowledge
the facts which determine
what sort of legislation need
ed for the promotion of the
public health, safety and we'll
fare, and so to understand
what is in truth the, opinion
of reasonable men ON the
question Of what is a bona
file exercise of policy power
and not an undue invasion of
individual liberty. T he
courts and the bar must un.
derstand also that there are
steady and irresistible chang
es in public opinion as to
what constitutes property and
what is the nature and what
are the true limitations Of in
dividual liberty, and that
public opinion firmly esta-l
blished must in the end be-
come law. 1t is only by know
ing actual conditions and re
cognizing established changes
in the meaning Of property
and liberty that the constitu |
tional guarantees Of the es-|
sence Of property and liberty |
can be fully maintained. T
And Justice White, Who'll
rad worked out all these chan
yes of conditions, met the siI
,uation With the rule of rea
on, has hereby created a newt
IRA in the development of jul
licial duty, function and
'und' amental principle. Il

OF TARIFF
BOARD TOBEOUTOF
PR|NTERY This week
Both Houses of Congress
Watching Progress of
Work.

With both houses Of Congress figura-
lively watching the work, the Govern
ment Printing office is rushing to COM
ietion one of the largest and most
important documents ever issued by
that big printshop. 1t Is the report of
the Tariff Board on the wool schedule,
which is destined to make legislative
history within the next few weeks, and
which may also determine the result
of the approaching national campaign.
Conservative estimates are that the
report Of the board, including tables,
VIII cover more than 1000 printed pages
No member OF the Senate or House, ex-
cept those especially Interested in the
framing of tariff legislation, is expected
to wade entirely through the mass of
data collected from all over the world.
The tables accompanying the boards
report are the most comprehensive and
intricate ever presented in a public doc
ument. 1t is estimated that the cost of
composition alone will run above IS, 900.
Democratic and Republican members
of the Ways and Means Committee
have been supplied with a few of the
galley proofs of the complete report.
1t was said at the office Of the com
mittee today that the report, printed
and indexed, probably will be ready for
distribution by the end Of the week.

the Washington Asylum Hospital tod a y
for observation as to her mental condi-
ton. *
After refusing to leave the city, Miss
Heisdorf. who is twenty-nine years old,
was taken in custody Saturday after
noon In the office Of the Board OF Chari-
ties, and a charge of insanity preferred
against her by District Sanitary OFFICER
Robert Sroufe.
Miss Heisdorf was arrested at tne
Union Station on October II last by Po-
liceman Fugett, who was attracted by
her peculiar actions. She was sent to
Washington Asylum Hospital, but four
days later, through the efforts OF an
attorney. was released.

Since that time. It is charged. Miss
Heisdorf has visited one District Of
fetal after another to tell them of al
legged grievances. The Board of Chari-
ties communicated with the Milwaukee
authorities, and received in reply u
lengthy letter telling Of Miss Heisdorfs
actions In that city.
It was stated in the letter that as
the result of sensational charges pre-
ferred by Miss Heisdorf, DIR. w. Colby

wanted transportation for Milwaukee.
1t was decided to give her a ticket to
the wisconsin city, and money to defray
her expenses if' she would agree not to

Suddenly Miss Heisdorf changed her
mind. She decided that Washington
was a. pretty good place, after all, and
that she would stay here. She said she
wanted to see her physician, and later
became hysterical.

CATS PERPLEx NEW YORK
Advocates Of determination Say He.
roie Measures Are Necessary to
Avert Real Plague.

New York-Whether New York
may intrust the disposal Of its gar
bage to four-footed scavengers in the
shape Of cats, corresponding a way
to the dogs Of Constantinople, is the
most striking possibility in the contro-
versy now raging as to whether cats
are a public necessity or public
nuisance in this city demanding imme-
date recall.
According to the latest feline census
it is estimated that there are 100000
cats in this city, as compared to $4,000
dogs, and in view of the rapldity with
which the former are increasing in
numbers 1t is now proposed either to
license or exterminate them.
The proposal to license cats is at
tended with many difficulties and OBJ
iections Aside from the difficulty Of
catching a quarter of million strays
and establishing their ownership, one
e. pert holds that such a step would be
on par with licensing birds, white
mice or rabbits.
On the other hand, an expert Of con-
trary views paints a shocking picture
Of cat-ridden city In the near future
If steps are not taken to eliminate
these animals.
According to him, in the thickly
populated districts the cats are really
wild animals, attacking chiefly the
odoriferous garbage can. A recent in.
vestigation shows that these animals
come out only at night, so that to

Girl Wins Spelling Contest

of the La Porte district school, was
given fourth prize. S..
The state spelling match will be
held at Jefferson City at the conVen-
ton of county school superintendent
in May. The county superintendent
have adopted various methods for
picking the best spoilers in their re-
spective counties. In some the repre-
sentative has been named by simply
holding a general match at the county
seat. In others each school has sent
out a champion to the county match.
The method here was to divide Macon
county into seven districts and have
the matches all over the county. Thus
the very best speller in each district
was obtained, and the class Saturday
was the acknowledged pick Of the
county.
The match lasted from ten in the
forenoon till $40 in the evening. Each
district champion has hosts Of friends
and relatives who came to see the
event.
Should Miss Rice win the state
spelling honors from Jefferson city,
