New Haven, Conn, April 29.-Sir
William Osler, of London, in an adj
dress before a Yale university relig-
Gus meeting on the subject of "A Way
of Life" said:
Forget the past; forget the future
Life is a habit as hard or as easy to

A DECISION FOR STATES RIGHTS
New Orleans States

Decisions or the most important
character are being handed down by
the United States Supreme Court,
which seem to attract no general at
tention. For quite time almost every
decision of the Court has been in the
direction of sustaining the reforms for
which the people have been clamor-
ing. One of the latest upholds the
anti-removal law passed by the Mis-
sissippi Legislature, which provided
for the custer Of any public service cor
poration doing business wholly or in
part within the State which shall re-
move an action instituted against it to
Federal Court
The Supreme Court Of Mississippi
declared the law to be unconStitution-
al and void, but the United States 'Su-
preme Court reversed the State Court
and held that the law was constitu-
tional. 1t has been the habit of rail-
roads to remove every case from the
state courts to the Federal Courts
and thus long delays were obtained
and justice seldom secured. The de-
cision of the highest court in the land
is therefore, of vast Importance to the
people of every state and relieves
them of an injustice against which
they have protested for many years.
In this case the Mississippi Railroad
Commissioners ordered the Louisville
& Nashville railroad to make a stop
at the city of Bay ST. Louis, and the
railroad company refused to obey the
order and removed the case to the
Federal Courts The United States
Supreme Court, when the case reached
it, decided that the law providing for
custer of any company doing any such
thing was constitutional The import
ance of this decision is great, for it
confirms the right of the State to reg
plate railroads within their borders so
there can be no question about it.

CORSETS
Golfers Weekly.)

Quite seriously speaking, there is
one gain which has been brought
about by the revolution and evolution
of fashion which is an unqualified and
indisputable gain. 1t is the elimina
ton of the corset as necessary foun-
dation for conventional dress. Not
that corsets have been done away with
entirely; they are still on the market,
as can be seen in passing any depart
ment store front, and will probably
continue to be worn to considerable
extent for some time to come. But it
is now possible for woman of ordin-
airy build and reasonably active habits
to walk into a shop, purchase dress
of the conventional make and wear II
in the streets without corset and yet
not be set down as hopeless trump
or person of questionable modesty.
Moreover, corsets are now being made
not to distort the body, but to give it
INC II SCoL anu IllOoI MAUI a. AiLCo
possible The we'll dressed woman
who wears corsets wants to look as if
she didn't. All this is not merely a
point of fashion nor even of hygiene
1t is a ristinct forward step in the
civilization of the race.
A Chinese diplomat in the days be-
fore the present westernizing of China
began, was defending his country
against the charge of being barbarian
He was reminded of the foot-binding
practice on his womankind. Yes" he
replied, 1--WE squeeze our women's feet
but we do not squeeze their waists.
The papers deri"ed much merriment
from this reply, but it was as serious
and biting arraignment as a civil
ization as could very well have been
made. What custom more cruel and
senseless than the old-time corset has
ever. afflicted people? Mary Roberts
Coolidge. in her recent enlightening
book, why Women Are So" says Of
the women of the passing generation:
! The corset, worn originally in En-
rope as a means of emphasizing sex
characteristic bust and the hips-be-
came the armor of responsibility for
Innocent and oyermodest woman. To
lie seen without it was not merely
slovenly, it was improper, even vul-
carly suggestive. AS soon as any young
girl approached adolescence she had
to put it on Some mothers said for
propriety's sake; and other mothers
that she might have a good figure
when she grew to womanhood That Is
to say, she must develop the small
waist and the large hips and bust, like
a French fashion plate in order to
meet the requirements of Puritan
modesty."
What could be a more ridiculous
reason for thwarting the vigorous de-
velopment of a growing girl? The
makers OF FASHION VIII probably Try u
change again their dictates in this re-
gard. But the history of the corset
will probably be like that of the shirt
waist and street suit. This costume,
much the most comfortable and sensi-
BILE yet devised for women, was in
augurated against protest; but once
established it has persisted in spite of
dressmakers to eliminate it. In similar
manner. once having gotten women
out of eorsets, let us sincerely hope,
for the sake of the future of the race,
that their own common sense will
keep them from ever being persuaded
to get into them again.

REALIZE THE THREATENED
DANGER

Farmers of Southern Georgia are
fast awakening to the danger that
turks in the approach of the boil wee

fore this pest arrives in Sumter coun-
u, SO that every farmer in this county
and section should be wide-awake and
watchful and ready to meet the chang
ed conditions that the weevil will
surely bring.
Relative to the preparation of the
farmers for the boil weevils coming,
the Albany Herald has this pertinent
editorial:
In some sections nereabouts, farm
ers' organizations are loading their
guns in a systematic manner in antic-
pations of the coming of the boil wes
vii, and promise that they will be
ready for him when he pokes his in
quisitive proboscis into this section
affairs at no very distant date. They
are loading their guns not with pow
der and bullets, but with corn and peas
and potatoes and hay, and the various
other food crops which grow as we'll il
this section as they do anywhere il
the world. The weevil may come Z,
an enemy, but he will be made to per
form a service before the determined
Georgia farmer gets through witt
him. He demoralized Texas CON
: pletely when his depredations frs
began in that state, but last yea
Texas made the greatest cotton crol
in her history, at the same time pro
ducing enormous food crops.
We have the word of the Bainbridg
SearChlight for it that the farmer
around Attapulgus are not waiting TO
the boil weeyil to put in an appear
ance before beginning operations look
ing to setting his depredations a
naught. The Search Light says: "Th

Soft measures for her dancing feet.

Then shall the violets seem to creep
