CREATING NEW STATES.
Work That Congress May Do, bu
Once Done. Cannot Undo.

Work That Congress May Do, but,
Once Done, Cannot Undo.
Several times 1t has been proposed
to make two states out of the state of
New York. In fact, resolutions have
been introduced In the state legisla-
ture once or twice, but have died in
committee. The purpose has been to
include all Of the present state south
of Westchester county in a new state
to be called Gn one jnstance) the state
Of Manhattan. North of the Bronx
district the name Of New York was
still to be retained. The surrounding
islands Of the south-all those Of Long
Island sound, Long Island complete
and all of the counties comprising
New York city-were to be embraced
within the new state of Manhattan.
The creation OF a new state confers
a right that cannot later be abrogated
and In this respect is unique in the
establishment of political areas After
the people Of the district in question
ing out OF new state is desired. con-
gress passes upon the application. Up
to this point congress is supreme.
Once. however, congress agrees to the
new state creation and the new state
becomes an established fact then no
power of the republic can undo what
has been done by legislative act. No
repeal can revoke the privileges OF a
law abiding sovereign state. : New

And then there will be the annu-

in place of the vaudeville show.
The Island will present the Dutton
3-Ring Circus for the week. And
this is regular circus, with bare

trained bears, educated dogs, wire

the circus the delight that it is.

St. Paul, MINI, July 25. The
Bureau of Labor is getting in read
mess for the strict enforcement of
the hours of labor law for women,
passed by the last legislature, and
which becomes effective in August.
The Attorney General holds that
the ten-hour day for restaurant en-
ployes applies to cashiers, wait
resses, kitchen employees, and en-
ployes in cafes and lunch rooms
run in connection with hotels if
the cafes ale run for the accomoda-
ton of the general public. The
nlne-hour limit for laundry workers
does not apply, according to the
Attorney General, to employees of
hotel laundries which do not handle
outside work. 1t is also held that
the nine hour restriction for tele-
phone operators applies to those
who attend public telephones In
hotels and other places, and not to
those employed by hotels or busi-
ness houses that operate interior
systems.

AS predicted by THE PRESS the
political pot Is surely going to have
some heat. Every politician and
some that are not politicians are so
far up in the air that really they
don't knoy just where they are at.
You know right here in our town
we have many funny things to con-
tend with that it keeps US all
guessing. One thing is the politi-
clans that are always changing
things to suit themselves and never
think of consulting anyone on
these vital matters but themselves.
They are of the opinion that every
time they make a change ali the
voters will change and follow like
a pack OF sheep. If you are
democrat they want you to be a
citizen, if you are a citizen they
want you to be a republican and at
the next election they want you to
fall in line for some other cult. If
the old party politicians are not
careful they can say, good bye for
ever.

TRUE HORSE MARINES.
They Helped Bolivar Out When He
Was In Need of a Fleet.


The llanero of South America lives
on horseback, trades, buys and sells
on horseback, and during the war with
Spain the llaneros contributed much
toward achieving the independence of
both Venezuela and New Granada. In
up the Orinoco and Down the Mag
dalena" Mr.. II. j. Mozans tells of an
occasion when it was necessary for
Boliyar's army to cross the Apure In
order to engage Morillo. But Bolivar
had no boats, and the Apure at this
point was wide and deep.
The Spanish f1otilla was guarding
the river at the point opposite to the
patriot forces. Bolivar was in de-
spair Turning to Paez. he said, Il
would give the world to have the Span
ish flotilla; without it | can never cross
the river"
1T shall be yours in an hour" said
Paez
Selecting 300 of his llanero lancers,
all distinguished for strength and
bravery, he said, pointing to the gun
boats: "We must have these fecheras
or die. Let those follow who please"
At once squirting his horse, he dashed
into the river and swan toward the
fotilla. The llaneros followed him
with their lances in their hands, now
encouraging their horses by swim
ming beside them and patting their
necks, now shouting to scare away the

A new sort of handbag is shown for
use with street suits. 1t is made
OF silk and beads, and at first sight
seems too fragile for street wear. But
1t proves to be useful and durable, as
well as very attractive.
These bags are made in several
shapes, but all are small and the col
ors are generally in neutral tones.
One bag of gray is six-sided, each
panel or side ending in a point. The
six points are Joined to form the tip
OF the bag. Another bag of soft, dull
yellow is four-sided, and the four sides
are cut diagonally at the bottom and

have three or two sides.
All of them have chain handles OF

FITCH fur. and especially light Fitch,
i is SO much liked that 1t is getting
very scarce. 1t is used as a trimming
in collars and cuffs; as a border on
velvet or plush muffs and in small
neckpieces, more frequently than in
regular sets. 1t is very soft and its
coloring is especially effective with
coats made of velvet or satin and vel
vet brocade.
Those who can indulge themselves
In expensive novelties in fur sets may
consider the very handsome scarf and
muff of Fitch shown in the picture.
The scarf is a new design. terminating
where it fasteps at the neck in three
skins which iprovide Z splendid PR

encircles the neck and another falls
