A custom that has prevailed since
the days OF Thomas Jefferson was
broken on Tuesday by President
Wilson, hen he delivered his mes
sage to Congress 10 person. No
President since John Adams has
read his message to Congress. Both
Washington and Adams read their
message to that body but President;
Jefferson sent bis message by speci-
al messenger and the same was read
by the Clerk of the two houses re-
spectively and this way Of conveying
messages to Congress has been fol-
lowed by every President for the
last hundred years until this year.
What effect this change of custom
will have is for the future to tell.
President Wilson seems to have
hobby for breaking customs in the
nation that have stood for years.
We rather imagiue that it will come
70 pass that four years hence many
voters who have heretofore follower
the path Of Jefferson in voting the
democratic ticket will lay aside their
usual custom Of following The donkey
and go over to the well laid path OF
the elephant where there is solid
walking upon all occasions for all
voters. Instead of ha iing aprogres-
sive in the White House It locks like
we have an antique.

heretofore the amendment has be.
come a par, Of the organic law Of

Thu amendment had to be ap-
proved by two-thirds Of the States,
thirty-six, and Connecticut made up
the equired number. Nothing now
remains to be done in the matter bat
the returns 10 lie made 70 the Ma
ii nal Executive Department and
the President to issue proclamation
formally announcing the fact.
The following is the amendment
"The Senate Of the United States
shall be composed Of two Senators
from each State, elected by the peo-
pie thereof, for six wears; and each
Senator shall have ons vote. The
electors in each State shall bave the
qualifications REQUISITE for e eetors Of
the most numerous branch of The
State Legislatures.
"When vacancies happen il the
representation Of any Safe in the

such State shall issue writs Of cleo
ton to fill such vacsnres, provided
that the Legislature Of any State
may empower the executive thereof
to make temporary appointments
until the people fill the vacaucies BY
election as the Legislature may di-
rect.n
The change will bring ahou much |
of mix as to the ele ton Of United
Senators for hils, but in due tine
the matter viii he strai shtened ouf
and made satisfactory. At this lime
suggestions, as 70 what 20 do in this
State, are as numerous as flies on |
dead horse. Some suggest an extra
session and Others vice versa. As
at present advised, We are opposed
TO an Extra session. The great Co
is matter for serious consideration
and with that difficulty out Of The |
way we cannot say we are SO p4rti-
cularly captisated with the good sens,
Of majority of hat body TO assume
to advise the calling Of the lie .isi.
tuie together. Once in session ain. |
with the prestige Of National vleior, |
to encourage, and not being very |
heavily endowed with patriotisr and
love for the people, there will be no
telling the extent Of their mad drive.
The State will not suffer from ha j.
ing but one Senator i St Of tie
States frequently have had but one
Senator. We viii lose Jackson hut
we are looking beyond politics in the
matter. Some ri-k must be taken in
every step in all the affairs Of life
Furthermore, We think Senator
Smith can be trusted to represent
the State and win do SO as well as
any two Of the many Democratic as
pirants for Senatorial honors, some
one Of which will likely succeed

it is better to do with one Senator.

large part of the remaining SGT,

waterway, estimates of the bulk
of which already have been sub
mitted to the house committee on
appropriations. The $4,000, 900
will make up the total of 375, 900

of the canal. The estimates provide
for drydocks. coal pockets and con-
crete, sunk below the sea level

AMERICAN EAGLES

The first American gold coinage
of eagles, half-eagles and quarter.
eagles of the value of $40, SIS and
$3.50 respectively. were placed in
circulation 121 years ago, Dec. 6,
1892. Since that date the United
States minis have turned out Ill.,

pieces; 46,61l,2 89 eagles, 74,36O,-
$40 half-eagles and 1850, 2G3
quart er-eagles.
One and three dollar gold pieces
we're formerly coined but they
were discontinued in 1880.
The first coin called an eagle was
issued in Ireland in the thirteenth
century and was so called from the
figure of an eagle impressed upon
it but 1t was made of base metal
The standard of the eagle was
borne blythe ancient Persians and
the Romans also carried gold and sill.
yer eagles as ensigns, and some.
times represented them with 6
thunderbolt in their talons.
Charlemangne adopted the double
headed eagle as the standard of the
Holy Roman empire.
The eagle was the standard Of Ma
poleon l. and Napoleon Ill as wei
as of Austria, Prussia and Russia.

A GOOD THING

We have heard a great deal of
talk about the extension of the
sewer system through blocks B
and D of the first addition to the
town of Elko and the expense of
the same. This extension of the
sewer system was authorized by
the town board at the meeting of
February 9Th. There is nothing on
the records showing the probable
cost Of the extension or'authorizinR
anyone to do the work, the records
merely showing that the petition of
citizens asking for the extension
was granted.
At the meeting on March 9Th, the
board allowed Roy Jones, then
sewer Inspector, the sum of $431.77
for extending the sewer and on April
9Th, the Elkr Plumbing company.
of which the sewer Inspector is
partner, was allowed $3.50 for labor
on sewer trench and May 7th the
firm was allowed 500 for work on
sewer. If the three amounts were
paid for the extension Of that sew
err it cost $647.77. AS the law pro-
hibits the commissioners from let
ting contracts over $500 without
adver Using for bids, this work may
have cost the taxpayers more than
it would II the town board had
obeyed the law.
Since May the Elko Plumbing
company has drawn from the town
treasury the sum of $252.50 for
work on sewers and materials fur
nished. A careful examination Of
the bills Of the company fails to
show where the work was done or
on whose order. There is nothing
on the record to show that the
town board ever ordered thu sewer
inspector to do any work.
That the sewer inspector has a
good thing is readily seen. By
reason Of his position, he grabs
all the work and furnishes allfhe
material for the sewer system

SURPLUS BIRTHDAYS

There is apparently plenty of fun
fer the child in Sweden in the mat.
ter of birthdays, but the parent
can hardly be expected to feel the
same, for the children do not con-
fine themselves to one birthday, but
they must have three. Of course,
the first one is the real birthday
and the other two are those whose
names the Swedish boy or girl
bears. For every day in the year
of the Swedish calendar has its own
sepprate name, besides the weekly
names which other nations have.
Sometimes if the parent gives the
child a second name or first one
that cannot be found on the calen.
dar, the child loses out on one
birthday. And considerable protest
must follow too when the child be-
cumes old enough to realize what
he is missing. In the German calcn-
dar every day has name also, but
the observance of these days Is not
at all common in the latter coun-
try.
