MOVING THEM UP BY
AN OLD CIRCUS METHOD

The old circus spieler was out of
job and was glad to snap up a po-
sition as a street-car conductor. He
was given a big car and had no
trouble until supper time. when peo-
pie piled on and fought for standing
room. OF course. they herded at the
rear end, leaving room up in front.
After several requests to move for
ward proved useless the conductor
forced his way to the front of the
car and struck his old circus pose.
"Lad-e-e-s and gentlemen" he
began, 81 wish to call your atten-
shun to the large and roomy open
space at this end of the car. This
space has been procured at e-nor-
nous expense by the management.
The management requests me to an
nounce that this ee-laborate and
costly space is now open to you and
Is as free as the air. Come one,
come all. Step up, every-bod-ee.
You'll have to hurry, hurry, hur-
ry."
But the crowd stuck right where
it stood Cincinnati Enquirer.

THE TWO AMENDMENTS
VOTED ON LAST FALL
Declared Unconstitutional By
Court Of Appeals in Re.
cent Decision.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 16.-The
Court of Appeals affirmed the Frank
lin County Circuit Court, holding
the Constitutional Amendments, per-
hitting the classification of property
for the purpose of taxation, and the
amendment for working convicts on
the public roads, to be invalid.
The amendments. which were vot-
ed on at the last election, were at
tackled by Geo. G. Speer on the
ground that they had not been ad-
vertised as provided by the Constitu-
tion--ninety days before election
and his contention was upheld by
Judge Stout.
This opinion was affirmed by the
Appellate Court to-day.
Secretary of State Crecelius,
whose duty it was to advertise the
amendments ninety days before cleo
ton, failed to advertise them until
sixty days before the election. He
certified the amendments to go on
the ballot, however. and they carried
20 to 1. A friendly suit was brought
to test the law. The Appellate
Court SAYS the Constitution fixed the
time for advertisement and left only
the manner OF publication to the
Legislature.
Z The court holds that the provis-
ion of the constitution is mandatory,
and should be carried out to the let
ter.
ITO say that the words of the con-
stitution are directory and not man
datory is to license violation of the
tnctr,meuf evarv day and every
hour says the court.
ITO preserve the Constitution in
violate we must regard its works.
except when expressly permissive.
as mandatory, as breathing the spir-
it of command.
1.-THE fact that 100000 persons
out of 100000 voters voted on the
amendment Is no assurance that
they properly understood the ques-
tion," says the court. In holding that
it is absolutely mandatory that the
amendments be advertised ninety
days before the election.

Uncle Sam Now Owns S.
600 With
A POPULATION OF l0,O00,o0a
Remarkable Development Of
Islands Since U. S.
Took Control.
WAS PROFITABLE INVESTMENT

Washington. Jan. 17.-Uncle Sam
now has in his possession exactly
5000 islands, supporting a popula-
ton of 100000, or more than the.
entire United States a century ago.
according to a report just received
by the National Geographical SOcie-
ty. 1t tells the story of the remark
able development of those islands
since the American flag was unfurl-'
ed over them.
The report shows that their COM
merce exceeds $3OO,00O,00O, OF
more than that of the United States
in any year prior to 1850; American
capital invested in them aggregates
approximately S400,000,OOO; they
ship to the United States 100000
600 worth of their products every
year and take in exchange products
of about equal value.
The feature of the report is the
development of Porto Rico. Hawaii
and the Alaskan Islands. II shows
that when Porto Rico came under
American possession fifteen years
ago there was but one building in
the island erected for school pur-
poses, while to-day there are 1900
such buildings. There were $4,000
pupils enrolled in the public school
In the first year of American admin
istration; now there are IFS, 900.
Then there was but one good road
of forty miles; now there are about
l 200 miles of good roads Produc-
ton of sugar has grown from $1,000
tons year to 365 900. The foreign
commerce was about $20,000,000
year: now it is nearly 100000 900.
Then the island bought about ST.
100000 worth of American products
a year; now nearly $4,000, 1000.
According to the report Hawaii
has been extremely prosperous since
1t came permanently under the
American flag in 1900. The assess
ed value of property increased one
half, the value OF the sugar crop
more than doubled, deposits in
banks trebled and in savings banks
quadrupled. Hawaii's irrigation sys-
TEN is the marvel of the engineering
world, and the quantity of sugar
produced per acre far exceeds that
of any other spot on the globe.
THE Alaskan islands and main
land" says the report, cost US ST.
100000. an expenditure that many
believed to be quite unjustifiable,
yet for many years the annual value
of the sealskins alone Appropriated
the cost of the entire area, while at
present the value OF the canned sal
mon sent us from Alaska in a single
year is twice as much as the entire
possession cost"

SAYS BATHING
IS INJURIOUS
AndVery Harmful Ito Some
Constitutions.
CONTENDS MAN IS AIR ANIMAL
And Not Water Beast-EditOr
Says Bathing Habit is
Much OverdOne.
HOT DAYS THE TINE TO BATTLE

A definite pronouncement against
bathing is made by DR.. Elmer Lee,
in Health Culture, a magazine edit
ed by him. The objections to bath
ing are usually placed by humor-
lists in the mouths of characters
bearing the suggestive names of
Weary Willie" Tired Tom" and
so on; but apparently Dr. Lee de-
sires to be taken seriously. He
writes:
Bathing is an acquired habit, un-
necessary and even harmful. Cold
or hot water showers or sprays, and
any form of immersion will be in
furious in the end.
Man Is an air animal, not a wa
ter-beast.
"An aged woman asked me Il K
was good practice to chill tn ehuman
skin with cold water to warm it.
Cold bathing is recommended as a
body warmer, so is a hot toddy of
whiskey, also a cold cocktail of
whiskey. Man has acquired many
conceits.
"A bathtub is an enemy in the
house. II is expensive and adds to
the toll of women. Bathing begets
false security against disease, weak
ems and Injuries the skin, extracts
bodily energy and magnetism, and
entails on society needless habit. ="
These extracts are quoted by the
editor of Brain and Drawn (Los An
geles, Noyember) who goes on to
make the following comments upon
them:
Undoubtedly the bathing habit,
like many other good habits, may
be. and is, overdone. Especially is
this true of protracted ocean baths.
Whole baths in cold water should be
taken only by those who have a
good circulation. To go shivering
into the water, and come out SILVER
ing, pretending you like 1t, is as
foolish as it is to eat 'sawdust' food,
thinking it is going to do you good.
although you don't like it. In such
cases 1t is much better to wade and
paddle around in the water.
THE English are fanatics for cold
baths in the morning. Some OF
them break the ice in the Serpentine
Lake in Hyde Park all through the
winter. | remember there was often
ice on the water in my fathers hip
bath. which he took religiously in
his bedroom every morning. We
had no bathrooms in those days.
Such a practice is harmful. tending
rather to shorten than to lengthen
life. The shock is too great. except
to those who are exceedingly hardy
within and without. having hardened
themselves inside by a strictly tenn
perate. stimulating dietary and
outside by exposure to the air. 9th
erwise, it is best, in the morning, to
take a rub with a damp towel. fol-
lowed by friction with bath-gloves
and the hands.
when the day is hot, and the
river, or lake or ocean looks good
to you, then is the time for you to
plunke in for short dip or swim.
Some nations are strong and
healthy that scarcely ever battle the
whole body. while the Japanese, who
boil themselves daily. have excep-
tional strength and endurance. One
objection to the hot bath would be
overcome If people would make a
practice of always oiling the body
after the bath. This has
been the practice In the Orient for
thousands of years. In the West 1t
has been altogether too much neg
lected"
