WHY FOLKS SHOULD GO.

There are better reasons than the
mere seeing Of the show why eastern
people should visit the Pacific coast
expositions.
To be sure those eNpositions are TO
be magnificent and unusual as TO ex-
hibits. the very fact that some foreign
nations are not to be represented, be-
cause OF the war, compelling the ex-
hibition Of products OF the arts and
manufactures and nature that visitors
have not had before their eyes at
every exposition since that OF Phila-
delphia. 1876. But the best reason for
attending the Pacific coast fairs will
lie in the opportunity TO really know
something about the United States
that not one in a million east OF the
Mississippi knows.
Beyond doubt the great world
movements Of the next generation are
10 be along the Pacific coasts OF the
countries having Pacific coasts. Al
ready a new civilization is forming
along our own Pacific coast not the
least important signs OF which is the
trend toward equal suffrage. prohibi-
ton and economic measures for the
equalization OF industrial opportunity
Not only are the worlds big doings OF
the future TO be along the Pacific and
on the Pacific but the trip 70 reach
the Pacific is q great educator. One

WILEY'S TESTIMONY.

DR.. Wiley, pure food expert, cele-
brated his 10th birthday recently, and
boosted to his friends that he felt as
fit as if he was only 40. He attributed
his excellent condition to the fact that
he had good teeth, which he had al
ways taken care of properly.
1t is more than likely that the fam
Gus chemical expert owes much, also
TO his ability to recognize fit and un-
fit food; yet his testimony as TO the
importance of proper care OF the
teeth might well be needed.
1t is not improbable that the aver
age individual could keep his teeth
in sound condition for as little as
500 during an entire lifetime, if he
began early and paid consistent at
tention to the matter.
The big bill at the dentists usually
results from the process of putting of
simple duties; the postpOnement OF
little tasks until they become large
tasks
1t isn't a popular thing to be put
ting shingles on the dentists roof, as
the saying is; but any matter which
affects the public's health ought to be
a proper one for comment.
And it does not seem improbable
that we are arriving at an era when
the prompt attention to defective
eyes and teeth may be regarded as
one of the proofs that the forces OF
civilization are bearing us along with
them.-St. Louis Times.

HER HAND on HIS ARM.
x X x X x x x y x \ \ <


In a New York suit for Islander. a
preacher from Portland, Ore, APP
pears as a witness. 1t is to be noted
that he was born and educated in
the east.
There had been no improper rela-
tons between him and the lady men
toned in the case He had never
kissed or embraced her. She had
never shown any affection for him
except on one occasion when, walk
ing together at night, she had taken
his arm. This caused him great sur
prise; he had always considered 1t
mans part to take a lady's arm first
and so he withdrew his arm"
In some sections of continental
Europe. where love-making is carried
on publicly, it is indeed mans part
to take a lady's arm first, but what
shall be said of a man, American
born and educated, who not only
holds to such a vulgarity, but, finding
the process reversed, resents it?
The small hand on the arm of a
true man signifies trust. 1t is the APP
peal perhaps conventional, of weak
ness to strength. 1t does not mean
possession. 1t means protection. II
is not typical Of familiarity or bold
ness. 1t is an Acknowledgement of de-
pendence and confidence.
What shocking corruption of our
manners must have taken place in
the last few years when a clergyman
reared in Massachusetts regards him
self as unduly approached because a
lady places her hand upon his arm!-

BINDING FUTURE MAJoRITIEs.

California. like Ohio, defeated
statewide prohibition a week ago by
a decisive majority. But California
went further. 1t wrote into the state
constitution a provision that prohibit
ton should not be brought to another
vote for at least eight years. For
that period. it appears to be assumed,
the question has been definitely
quoted. In Ohio, meanwhile, the
drys are talking of bringing prohibi-
ton to an issue again next year.
1t is difficult to see, from this dis
lance, how a state can bind itself to
quit considering a question for a term
of years by merely adopting a consti-
tutional amendment on the subject
What is TO prevent some group of
citizens from initiating a new amend
ment next year, which, upon adoption,
would establish prohibition and re-
peal the eight-year provision just
adopted?
There is a lOng-standing complaint
that constitutions are too difficult Of
amendment, though many progressive
states have in the last three or four
years remedied this situation to a
large extent. Nothing should be
clearer than that the people of a
state have a right, whenever a suffi-
cient number of them so desire. to
alter their basic law. And to allow
chance majority this year to bind
possible hostile majorities, for eight
years to come 10 a course they do
not approve would be as unwise as il
appears futile. - Cleveland Plain
