No Progress By Presedent.

There is progress by presedent
 For this reason the development of law is not that of a growing youth, but that of an increasing dump heap
 The idea of human knowledge ad- vancing by constant accretions is pure fiction.
 The difficulty lies in that a good part of the wisdom of yesterday is folly to-day, and what is called jus tice to-day is looked upon as injustice tomorrow
 Progress is by revolution. That is to say, it is by marking back to the eternal principles of truth and nature which human institutions and prece- dents are are constantly distoring.
 Progress by precedent is like sail or steering his boat to- day by his course yesterday, or like a lost hunter guiding himself by his omn footsteps; the result being. in both cases, that the only progress is in a circle. The past has it's use, which is mostly for warning.
 To get on humanity must not look to the past, not to the present, not to the future, but to truth, which is the same yesterday, to-day and forever"

It is well recognized fact among physicians today that the greater part of all sickness can be avoided by keeping the kidneys working properly.
 This is even more important than for the bowels to move regularly, because the kidneys and bladder are the filterers and sewers of the body If you suffer with pains in the back sides bladder or urinary disor- ders, lumbago, rheumatism, dizziness, puffy swellings under the eyes or in the feet and ankles. nervousness. tired and worn out feeling, or any Of the many other symptoms of kidney trouble, don't neglect yourself another day and run the risk of serious complications.

 There has long been an impression that no street should be repaired to the extent of being provided with new pavement until trees are planted in front of all properties.

BRYAN'S DENMARK TREATY
MOST SWEEPING OF ALL
Provides for Arbitration of Disputes,
Even Those Involving
National Honor"

s.sE.s tts<sss.y
The administration has set the seal of
its approval upon the general princi-
pie of the settlement by arbitration Of
all questions that may arise between
na tions, in the attitude it has taken in
the negotiations of a general arbitra-
tion treaty between the United States
and Denmark. That convention has been
reduced to the form of tentative
treaty drafted by Secretary Bryan, and
is now before the Danish foreign office
awaiting it's approval of certain amend
ments to the original text, which have
already been agreed upon in princi-
pie.
The new treaty makes no reservations
whatever in the subjects to be SUBJ
mitted to arbitration; not even ques-
tions of national honor being excluded.
1t differs from the general arbitration
conventions framed by the two preced-
ing administrations, and which have so
far failed to receive the approval of
the Senate, in the inclusion OF the prin-
cipal features of the peace pacts"
which Secretary Bryan has already ne
gotiated with six nations, providing for
a judicial inveStisa ton of the issues in
any dispute before recourse to hostii-
ties.

MAILS MOVING ON TIME.
High School Students Do Great
Work at City Post Office.

The Christmas mails at the post office
are reported to be moving on time, with
the force almost right up to the minute.
This splendid showing, it is stated at the
post office today, is due in small
measure to the fact that nearly one hun
dred high school students of Washington
have been put to work among the ex-
ira, temporary help.
Post office officials declare that for
green hands they have never seen any
better work than that shown by the stu
dents. One of the boys, il is said, showed
such enthusiasm and aptitude that he
was kept at work twenty-five hours out
Of twenty -four. The boys came from all
the high schools.
Employees of the post office toiled all
night. wrestling with the avalanche of
mails and struggling desperately so that
they may celebrate some part of today
at home. The mail room, stacked with
well filled bags yesterday. is very nearly
empty today.

The money was paid by a casualty
company in which Asch was insured, and
the payment was made, not as a com
promise for damages because Asch denied
liability but to enable the casualty com
pany to avoid the necessity of holding
a reserve against these claims to comply
with the insurance laws. These payments
are the first that have been made for
the death of the fire victims.

Nebraska Supreme Court Also Strikes
Gift Enterprise Statute.

LINCOLN, Neb. December 2o.-The
Nebraska supreme court yesterday in
two opinions handed down declared the
so-caIled "anti-loan shark law and the

void. The laws We're passed by the

Spectively.

certain kinds of chattels at d rate of
interest ciassed excessive, was held
by the court to be special Legislation.

as gifts for trading stamps, was held
to be IAN unreasonable interference with
lawful business, and in conflict with
the federal Constitution.
