IAN oUTGRowN CONSTITUTION

DR.. Frank w. Dixon spoke at the
Chautauqua Friday evening on the
subject, "An Outgrown Constitution. "
The discourse was able and caused
no little comment among his hear
ers. DR.. Dixon asserts that our con-
stitution is "outgrown" and that it
should be cast aside and new one
adopted that would make legislation
instantly responsive to a popular de-
mand, depriving the president of his
veto power and the Supreme court
of the power to declare unconstitu-
tional an act of congress which is the
will of the people.
Our constitution is capable of
amendment when ever public opinion
really demands it. The amendment
only recently secured making it pos
sible to elect United States Senators
by direct vote of the people is an
example of this. 1t is an accom-
plished, fact because the people de-
manded it, 1t was brought about on
a quiet and orderly manner. If the
people want the Referendum, the
Initiative or the Recall inserted in
the Constitution there will be a pop
ular demand for it and if this is so,
then they will get it. Our constitu-
tion is all right as whole. Changes
may be necessary and advisable in
by amendments, and the Supreme
Court of the United States is only
carrying out its inherent right in
interpreting the laws of Congress.
1t is the back bone of centralized
government under which we have
grown to be one of the strongest ma
tions on the globe.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1913.

Rev. DR.. Grant Robbins, pastor OF
the Union Methodist Episcopal
church of st. Louis, Mo-, in a recent
sermon says that poverty is no bar
to marriage. He said:
If we set up poverty as barrier
to marriage, it will not be long be-
fore we will not have much popula-
tion left. The rich and affluent of the
country are not taking the RESPONSE
bility of home and family. They are
too busy going to the warmer climes
in the winter time and cooler spots
in the summer. We therefore de-
pend for our population on the
humber people of the world"
DR.. Robbins quoted an eastern pro-
fessor's proposal that no man should
marry on salary under $4,000 a
year. He said such a proposition is
out of the question.

1t is source of regret that be-
cause of insufficient appropriation
to carry forward it's work the
Chestnut Tree Blight Commission of
Pennsylvania is forced to suspend
it's efforts to control this serious
menace to a valuable tree. 1t was
hardly to be expected that the dras-
tic measures which the Commission
believed to be necessary would pop
ularize it's efforts sufficiently to en-
courage liberal consideration from
the legislators, but it is unfortunate
that the work of investigation must
be halted. During it's two years OF
existence much attention was drawn
to forests and forest enemies, and in
creased interest exhibited in the
care of individual trees. Hence, al
though the Commission cannot be
credited with a completed work, il
accomplished much good which will
BE of lasting character, and the Com
missioners who gave without COM
pensation time and effort for the
good of the Commonwealth are to be
thanked.

SLEEPING SICKNESS,

A new kind of sleeping sickness is
reported more deadly than the ordi-
nary sort. Sir David Bruce, head of
the English commission sent to
Africa two years ago to investigate
the disease, reports that the so-called
sleeping sickness of Nyassaland is
not the same as that of Uganda or
the west coast, being more rapid and
so fatal that there is no known case
OF recovery. 1t is now established
that the fly, which carries the dis
ease, at first supposed to be the ILL
famed tsetse, is glossina morsitans, a
species widespread in Africa. This
question of flies and the part wild
animals play in harboring them is
included in the important program
or the. committee just appointed by
the English government at the re-
quest of the Liverpool school of
tropical medicine. 1t will be asked
to decide whether it is advisable to
carry out an experiment of game ex-
termination in localized area in Or
der to determine whether sleeping
sickness and other trypanosome dis
eases of men and stock can be thus
checked. The interior of the dark
continent is well guarded against the
intrusion of civilization; if these
plaques can be stamped out will be
among the most wonderful achieve
ment of man.

President Harley's definition of cul-
ture which is said to be "the opposite
of absorption in the obvious. He
emphasized the fact that he should
make it his rule of action in Rome
rule Rome. Essentials to such pow
er are concentration of mind, cor
rection of moral perspective and ade&
quate preparation Preparation for
efficient service involves culture, con-
secration and character. Horace
Greeley was quoted to the effect that
Character is the only thing that en-
dures." The speaker also cited
Emerson's dictum, "It is easy in the

s'The Poetry of Life" H"'
DR.. Pearson's 1ecture-recital on
! Sunday night at the Honesdale Chau-
tauqua had for it's theme, the practi-
cal uses of poetry. Taking for his
text Darwin's resolution: If had
my life to live again, l would let no
week go by in which 1 did not listen
to some good music, or read some
good poetry" he showed how the
beautiful is necessity in daily af-
fairs. Most people look upon beauty
as something to be enjoyed at their
leisure, when they are looking for
agreeable ways to spend their time
and their money. But Darwin's eX-
perience was that the beautiful is not
an extra but a necessity.
In discussing the practical uses
of poetry, DR.. Pearson declared that
it was necessity because poetry
is a record of the best and happiest
minds at their best and happiest
moments" Such association is a
necessity to the best living. Poetry
reveals the beautiful about us every
where; it shows us things in their
relation, it reveals God, it teaches
| the iOv of living All these nOints c
were discussed and illuminated by
reciting poems which lend them
selves to reading aloud.

OLD RAILROAD MAN
Is CALLED BY DEATH

La Grande, Ore. Jan. 13.-H. C.
Gilman of Fruitdale, died at Port
land. st. Vincent's hospital Saturday
afternoon. Death came as the close
of brief illness brought on by bow
el troubles for which he was sent to
Portland a few days ago in the hope
that an operation would relieve him.
His wife was called to Portland Fri
day when it became known he was
in critical state. The remains will
be brought to La Grande for burial.
Funeral arrangements are incomplete.
Mr.. Gilman was for many years a
locomotive engineer out of this city.
He worked with the old school of en-
gineers long before the present ia
cilities and privileges were in vogue.
Soon after leaving the railroad SER
vice he became water superintendent
in this city and held the appointment
for several terms. A few years ago
he moved with his wife and son Bert,
to fruit ranch near La Grande and
was making his home there when
seized by the fatal illness.

p 1t is easier to preserve the color Of
the hair than to restore it, although it
is possible to co both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret. They
made a "saCe tea" and their dark,
glossy hair long after middle life was,
due to this fact. Our mothers have gray
hairs before they are fifty, but they are,
beginning to appreciate the wisdom Of
our grandmothers in using Usage tea"
for their hair and are fast following suit.
The present generation has the advan.
tage of the past in that it can get a
ready-to-use preparation called Wyeth'sl
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. As a.
scalp tonic and color rcstorcr this prep
aration is vastly superior to the ordinary
''sage tea" made by our grandmothers.
The growth and beauty of the hair
depends on a healthy condition of the
scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy quickly kills the dandruff germs
which rob the hair of its life, color and
lustre, makes the scalp clean and
healthy, gives the hair strength, color
and beauty, and makes it grow. o

H0DGIN GAINS TWO
VOTES IN RECOUNT

La Grande, Ore, Jan. 1.-Two
votes with "ifs" and strings attacher.
were added to the total votes polled
by John S. Hodgin in the race for
joint senator when the recount was
concluded so far as Union county is
concerned. The specified precincts of
Wallowa county will be counted when
the county clerk of Wallowa county
comes here on a subpoena to testify
and allow the ballot boxes to be open
ed. The conditions whereby Hodgin
gains two votes in this county are
qualified and carry conditions that in
lreality make the ultimate results as
problematical as they ever were.
lJudge Knowles has intimated that he
will not rule on the doubtful ballots
in such a nexigency it will develop
upon the Legislature to make sole and
final decision. In recounted fourteen
precincts of Union county, HoIgin
gained total of two as seen from the
table but in his petition for the re-
count he did not specify Antelope and
La Grande No. which are figured
in the totals given. If by any cause
these two precincts should be strick-
en- from the recount figures, Hod-
gin would lose the two regained.
Not all the precincts in Wallowa
county are alleged to be in error and
ii is just possible that the count will
be completed tonight. 1t follows that
the actual figures of votes finally de-
termined will be known imme liately
thereafter, but the doubtful votes will
still be a thorn in the side of inde-
cision.
Riddles lead in the two counts was
four-with two apparently eleminat-
ed, the outcome in Wallowa county
becomes excrutiatingly close to the
interested parties.

ARMuIESS WONDER QUITS
CIRCUS FOR OREGON FARM

Cottage Grove, Ore, Jan. 13.-
Charles B. Trip. an armless wonder
formerly with the Ringing shows,
has purchased a ranch in the Cottage
Grove country and will spend the re-
mainder of his life in the famous,
fertile, fruitful Willamette. about the
only country in the world where a
man handicapped as he is can hope
to make a living from the soil. Mr.
Trip is accompanied by his wife and
the piece of property purchased is
the Standish ranch near Lorraine.
Mr.. Trips ability to help himself
is marvellous. He wears slippers
which are easily removed. and uses
his toes with about the same dexter
ity that an ordinary man does his
fingers.
