eAYNoR WANTS ANTLHoe LAW.
He Asks Aldermen to Tackle Case of
 the End Seat Variety.

New York, June 4-Mayor Gaynor sent the following letter of recom mendation to the Board of Aldermen;
 "The habit of all selfish people and especially if they be big and fat. is to take the end place on the seats of the summer cars which run crosswise of the car. and stick there, instead of moving along to the other end. as other people get on the car. This causes great inconvenience. All those who come after these selfish people have to climb over legs and press by them as best they can. I would sug gest to you to consider whether you should not pass an ordinance making this selfish practice a misdemeanor and requiring those who enter cars with cross seats to move as far into them as there is a vacant space to sit down The selfishness and hog gisllness of some people in this matter Is distressing spectacle. to say noth- Ing of the tnconVenience which they cause, especially to mothers with little children"

TURKEY LEG" APPEARS.
Muscular Trouble Result of Too Much
 "Trottin," Doctors Say.


 Philadelphia, June EMedical men in this city who have been called on to treat so many society men and wo- men suffering from an inflammation of the muscles of thigh that has been caused by excessive turkey trotting," say that the ailnent is due to what they term "sartoritis," getting it's name from the longest muscle in the body, the sartorius.
 Many of the patients have had to keep off their feet until the injury had healed. The women were all affected on the right leg while the men were bruised or strained on the left leg.
 Surgeons say that this is because the turkey trot is a one-step affair and following the steps of the dance the women bear down on the one side and the men on the other. This ex- cessive strain produces an inflamma- tory condition of the sartorfus. So- ciety folk have termed the affliction turkey leg"

REDisTRlcTiNG THE STATE.

Among the meritorious measures
that will fail as a result of political
chaos in the legislature, due to .the
breach Of the agreement with Mayor
Crump and the fusionists, is the re
districting ELL. This measure de
serves to pass 1t was not an alto
gether perfect bill but 1t was a dccid
ed Improvement upon the existing
law which Is so manifestly unfair
partial and unconstitutional as to
make it disgrace to the statute
books of the state
The question of redistricting Ten
nessee should not be a political ques-
ton. The constitution provides for a
division of the territory of the state
into senatorial and representative
districts upon the basis of popula-
ton. That is the only test and it
should be the only consideration in
the enactment of new law. Under
the existing law some senatorial dis
tricts have twice as many people as
others. Fci example, the second dis
trict, which was arranged for the
special benefit OF John l. Cox and
the back tax machine, has about half
as many people. as the first district.
This is in effect disfranchisament
of several thousand citizens Of the
first district, taxation of them with
out representation.
This is merely an illustration.
There are ether cases equally as in
defensible. If the democratic party
cannot elect legislature in Tennes-
see upon fair, honest and constitu-
tional redistricting of the state it
does not deserve success. A party
that depends upon legislative trick
cry. and chicinery for success cannot
survive long. The redistricting bill
should be passed. Simple justice
and fair dealing demand it.

THOU SHALT NOT KILL

Is human life protected in Maury

Do we really respect our man made
