Curvature Of the Spine.

Curvature Of the spine should be
treated as soon as discovered. Sit

Revive Right Of Petition.

In our battle for popular govern
ment in America We have awaited
ourselves OF various means OF ex-
preston. Significant among these has
been the employment Of the initia-
tive and referendum in state politics
in almost half Of the states Of the
Union. This means that in these
states the legislation which is pro.
NOTED or INSTRUCTED by regularly del.
egated legislators is no longer ANAL.
but may be taken up by the people
themselves through direct method
Of enactins legislation. Thus new life
has been infused in the WORKOUT right
Of petition, and q system has been
provided whereby bills may be pro-
posed under the initiative or disap-
proved under the referendum.
In Other words. the initiative is a
device whereby any person or group
Of persons may draft a. proposal for
law. and when they have secured
the signatures of certain number
of voters they may have it submitted
to the voters at large for their ap-
prevail or disa pproval In the same
way laws passed by the legislature
may be carried back to tho voters
for their approval before going into
effect This gives the people the

The beneficial effects Of such direct

the mere enactment or removal of

Through this means Of direct leg

GEORGE WASHINGTON'S EARLY $
 lIFF---AN ORIGINAL ESSAY
The following is the best essa written by the Grammar grades;
 George Washington 3
 By Ulah Murphy
By Ulah Murphy

George Washington was born at, Bridges creek, Virginia, on the Po- tomac River. Soon after he was born, his fatker removed to an estate on the Rappahannock River
 On the old homestead at Bridges creek, a stone slab marks the site of the house. It bears this inscrip- tior: "Here, the 22nd of Feb, 1732, George Washington was born." Difference of reckoning now makes the llth the 22nd.
 When he was a boy, he wanted to be sailor. But his mother thought she could not let him go away from horne. So George remained with her.
 He went to school and studied mathematics and surveying, and later became skillful surveyor. It made him acquainted with the woods and he knew every Indian path.
 
 He excelled in athletics and norsemanship. He knew all about life in the wilderness, and was very daring. His name may still oe read on a loity limestone cliff of the natural bridge in Virginia, where, when lad, he climbed up higher than any of his companions dared to go, and cut it with his hunting knife. ". |.3''
 When only twenty-one years old Governor DinwidGie sent him as q messenger to French fort, to ask them to give up the Ohio Valley. He had to travel three hundred miles on foot and cross rivers as best he could. Washington per formed the journey successfully. Perhaps this first brought him into public notice.
 By the death of Lawrence Wash ington, Gan elder brother) George came into the possession of the estate of Mount Vernon.
 In 1759 he married Mrs. Martha Custis wealthy widow.
 He was the commander-in-chief in the Revolutionary War, and has been called the greatest general in history. At the close of the war, he was unanimously elected the first president of the United States. He
