The, City of Detroit Is An
Ankle-Deep Law Breaker

There is a city ordinance in Detroit
which compels property owner to clean
his walks In case Of snow.
3 If he fails to comply with the ordin-
ance he is hailed before the recorder and
fined.
4 The city has prosecuted offenders re-
lentlessly, which is proper and all right.
In the down town district this morn
ing the walks in front Of the stores had
been cleaned of the slush to which the
snow Of Friday quickly turned, but the
CROSSINGS were ankle deep and in the
worst condition Of the winter, which is
some indictment.
Il Is the city's duty to clean the cross
ings.
TT is THE CITY'S DUTY TO PRAC-
.TICE WHAT 1T breaches, AND ITS
DUTY TO OBEY IT'S OWN LAWS.

that Commissioner Fenkell does not

The One Unbroken Rule

In Washington there is a CLUB
where playing cards for money and
various other things are forbidden.
But on one occasion recently four
friends who wished to have quiet

would be no harm In slight de-
parture from the regulations.
Having found a retired corner.
they had commenced TO play. when
one OF them noticed that a waiter
who was near was observing them.
Wishing to avoid further disclosure.
he called the waiter and said:

WASHINGTON. d. C.. March e.
The idea OF the gunboat as pro-
tector OF harbors was originated by
Thomas Jefferson. In 1904 a plan
was outlined TO congress by Presi-
dent Jefferson for saving the coun-
try the expense OF seagoing feet.
He proposed 70 substitute feet Of
gunboats stationed at the various
ports, and asked for an appropria-
ton OF 1000 900 for their construc-
ton. In letter TO Mr. Nicholson,
OF Maryland. chairman OF the naval
affairs committee, Jefferson stated
that II would require only 1000 men
20 garrison them in peace and only
80. 900 in war. For protecting the
harbors he suggested either heavy
cannon on travelling carriages with
militia trained 10 the management

States needing defense. These would
require 25O gunboats. The cost he
had estimated at $4,000 each. But

he asked for a total OF 100000 for
this purpose. The idea, he said. was

Railroads usually run through several
states. The more states they intersect
the more useful they are. They bind
the country together. But every one OF
these states has it's own peculiar rail-
road legislation, and each takes whack
at the railroad whenever IL gets
chance.
tommon sense ought to see that rail-
roads are not state affairs at all; they
are national; they are for the whole
people. Therefore, they should be under

RUsSIA'S MIGHTY RIVER

In Russia the rivers are large and sluggish.
owing to their great length and slight fall. The
volga is the longest river In Europe. II Is 1900
miles I'm length--that Is, three times an long
the Rhine-yet It's total fall is only little over
500 feet.
The peat boys In the valdai Hills where II
takes It's rise, are only $50 feet above sea level,
while Astrakhan, at the mouth, II IS feet below
the level OF the sea.
The Russian fondly speaks and sings OF II a.
"Matushka volga," or Little Mother voIga." In
gratitude, no doubt. for the bounteous supply OF
fish. caviar and game, as well az comfort and
pleasures afforded by this historic stream. which
plays 40 important part In the economic life
OF the nation
The products OF Asia and Europe are carried
on its waters; the 2.000-odd river steamers are
always busy, and the huge RATS, consisting often
of thousands OF logs, being floated or pulled
down the stream, represent a small portion OF
the riches OF Russia's nexhaustible forest lands.

STATES RIGHTS.
~ DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright, 1915. by Frank Crane)

One Of the decisions that has been
dead for some years and is now walking
about, after the manner Of dead ideas,
merely to make trouble, is states rights.
There never were any states rights,
any more than there are national rights,
kings rights, or aristocracy rights.
The only rights are the PEOPLES
rights.
A state, a nation. royal family only
exist as servants of the people. They
nave rights only as they serve. Az
against the welfare OF the citizens they
have no rights at all. When they get
in the way of the prosperity of the COM
mons they ought TO be brushed aside.
When this country was formed 1t was
made up of Is states. Others have been
added. Originally these various states
meant something to the people OF them
different from what the United States
meant.
Now all such meaning has ceased. The
words Virginian, Iowan, and Kansan are
merely sentimental expressions.
