CONSIDER THE DAY.

Tomorrow is Sunday. What are
your plans for the day? What are you
going to do, and what will you refrain
from doing?
From a physical point Of view alone,
II should be a day OF rest-change at
feast from the ordinary avocation of
life. You can do more work, and ac-
cornpiish greater results by dropping
your business cares and your usual
Z work n day in seven. ~
; The moral and religious feature is
M often discussed, as to the most
profitable way to spend the day, both
for the life that you now live and the
pms you hope to enjoy after the spirit
leaves the body.
I DO you carry out the good plans you
sometimes make as to how this day
shall be occupied? If you seldom go to
church, would it not be well to try the
) experiment of IN hour listening to one
Of the excellent sermons you can hear
in the churches of this city? You may
Z not have the same point Of view as the
preacher, but he will give you some
thing to think of. that will make life
better worth the living. Is not this
worth trying?
When you get in church don't look
around to see how much better you are
thar some of the others you may OBJ
serve in the pews, but plan how you
you a make your life better than it
has been. If you can do this, you can
make those who associate with you
better.
This little talk is not addressed so
much to the ladies-they don't need it
as much as the other sex-but these
questions are asked Of the business
men and the young men. who have
Slipped from the habit of being regu-
lar attendants at church.
Now is a good time to try this ex-
pertinent. 1t will only cost you a lit
tie exertion, and Monday morning will
find you better itted for the struggles
and work Of the week, thar If you
delved into your usual occupations all

woman Apina Man, says Danoer.

Denver Times: Physicians, sculptors
and artists are much concerned these
DAYS as to whether or not athletics
are robbing woman of her symmetry
of figure. On this subject the opinion
of a woman who has closely studied
the matter is interesting. Mile. Mana,
the noted French p~antonime dancer.
who is making an American tour of
the Orpheum vaudeville circuit, em-
p~hatically opposes more than a slight
amount of physical training.
1.-THE average woman who goe in
for physical culture over trains and
spoils her figure she said. by her
careless system Of athletics the mod
ern woman will surely create a race
of girl children with figures that re-
semble mems. yet lack manly beauty
figures totally without womanly grace.
The new athletic woman has a flat
chest. extremely broad shoulders, large
waist and small hips. She does not
possess splendid strength and ability
to endure, but is merely ungainly. /
have frequently discussed the matter
with Louis Potter the sculptor. and
John w. Alexander. the painter. and
they agreed with me.
"If woman would develop her figure
properly she should try dancing. Not.
the ordinary ball room sort. but the
artistic kind that gently exercises the
proper muscles Of the whole body. That
would improve her figure"

DIRECT SENATORIAL ELECTIONS

Is it possible that the sentiment in
the south is changing in regard to the
danger of federal interference with
states rights? 1t would seem as ii
this bugaboo was being put to the rear
judging from the following argument
which recently appeared in The At
lanta Georgian, concerning the meas
ure now before congress looking to the
direct election Of senator's:
The election of United States SEN
ators by direct vote of the people, in
stead of by legislatures, as at present
is one of the great constitutional
changes long demanded by the people
It has, however, never been able to run
successfully the gauntlet of Legislative
enactments necessary to bring it tc
the vote of the states for adoption.
1t is now pending before congress,
with very slight chance of it's being
passed by both houses, It least dur
ing the present session.
Both houses favor the general propo-
sition and have so voted, but they find
themselves at loggerheads as to the
Bristow amendment.
The amendment reserves to the fed
eral government control over the time,
place and of holding the cleo
tions. This, southern democrats think,
may be used to interfere with the suf-
frage laws Of their states-laws that
are rightly deemed necessary to the
preservation of Anglo Saxon civiliza-
ton therein.
A majority Of the senate insists that
this provision be incorporated in the
amendment, but the house will not
stand for it.
The federal government now has the
power to regulate the election of con-
gressmen, but does not use it. 1t is
left wholly to the states. At a time
when sectional feeling was rife. the
Force bill failed to pass. 1t is not
likely that another will ever be pro-
posed.
The contention over 1.-The Bristow
amendment is purely an academic one
The senate should yield, for there car
come no harm from specifically grant
ing to the states. with respect to the
election of senators, a privilege which
the states have always been allowed tc
enjoy with respect to the election OF
congressman.

hot for New York in its territory that
something had to be done.
The hotels, cafes and amusement
places found that New York was MOI
getting the transient business it mer-
tied, or that they thought it was en-
titled to, ana finally stirred up the
Merchants association to action, with
the result that 1t has established a
convention bureau, a department for
the Improvement Of freight rates, and
a general publicity scheme.
No city is so big that 1t can afford to
overlook the possibilities and oppor-
t]unities to advertise itself. At the
same time the people in charge OF such
publicity must bear in mind that the
newspapers of other cities do not bite
as readily in the publication Of column
after column of free matter as was
formerly the case. Real news the pa
pers will publish, but prepared boom
articles generally are consigned to the
waste paper baskets. The time may
come when some of this municipal
publicity will be paid for directly by
the city b~eneited-as il. should be.
This is an age of advertising and
hustling. All business is obtained by
that means. The city which goes to
sleep is like the merchant who vege-
tates. It loses out to its wide-awake
rivals. . 30
This is one reason why the wide
scope of work of the Fargo Commercial
club should be approved. The officers
and members have labored for months
to get the plans complete and full
enough to meet the demand. They
should be backed up by hearty coop
Grafton from people of every class.
The competition for industries and
for population is keener than ever be-
fore. 1t will become more so every
year. and the communities which do
not put on full steam and constantly
keep 1t up will lose in the race for SUI
premacy. What affects the city, has
it's influence on every citizen of the
municipality; therefore, you have a
part in all u~pbuilding work, as you are
directly as well as indirectly interested.
