GerrYmanderinq

Ohio more than any other state in the union,
for the last half century has been changing the
boundaries of its congressional districts to the dis
advantage of the opposition. When Democratic leg
isatures have been in they have arranged the
districts that a normally minority party might
than its share of the congressman. As
many possible heavy Republican counties were
punched together and the other counties were so
arranged that a Democratic county with large ma
ority might be placed in district with several Re-
publican counties with small majorities. When
Democratic legislatures were succeeded by Republic
legislatures the work of the Democrats was
undone and the counties rearranged that the
Democrats would be deprived of the representation
in congress to which it enStled In consequence
OF this arranging and arranging many of the
gressional districts of Ohio have grotesque
shapes.
The present arrangement of the Ohio districts
was made by Democratic assembly years
In 1910 the Republicans, then in power, sought to
change the boundaries and a bill was enacted. But
it was defeated on a referendum. That known
as the Sprague act The vote it not along
party lines admitted that the Democratic
rangement purely gerrymandering and it was
evident that that also the of the Sprague
act. The average citizen reason for making
such change proposed.
And now, the Democrats of Ohio protesting
against another attempt by the Republicans to
change the boundaries, though have heard
that there is any intent to do The present
rangement though by Democrats which gave to the
Republicans twenty-five congressman from districts
which had been carefully prepared for Democratic
occupancy ought to be satisfactory to Repub-
licans.

Panama Tolls

Former Attorney General Wickersham has lately
written open letter pointing out the difficulties
that lie way legislation to exempt vessels of
the American merchant marine from tolls in the
Panama canal it is understood that such legisla-
lion is being agitated. The ground pretty well
threshed over the discussion of this subject that
took place in 1913 when President Wilson held that
such an exemption would be in violation of treaty
with Great Britain. The Democratic national plat
form that had beeen adopted at Baltimore pledged
the party to such exemption and Mr.. Wilson in
the course of the campaign pledged himself.
Many people, says Mr.. Wickersham, brush the
matter aside by saying that since America built the
canal America is certainly entitled to exempt her
own ships from the payment OF tolls if it fit to
do So But Mr.. wclersham says that we are bound
by treaty exercise discrimination in favor
or ourselves.
The Clayton Bulwer treaty OF 1850 stipulated
among other things that any canal which might be
constructed should only be open to citizens and
subjects OF the. United states and Great Britain on
equal terms shall be free and open to vessels Of
commerce and of all nations on terms of entire
equality so that there shall be no discrimination
against any nation citizens and subjects in
spect TO the conditions charges of traffic other
wise"
II is clear enough that America in facing the
problem OF the exemption of tolls is by means in
the position would have been had it never put its
signature to that If it not for that treaty
as we'll as the Hay Pauncefote treaty which reaf-
firmed it in the language above used, the United
states would be wholly free to do what it liked in
the matter of the exemption proposal The treaty
commitments which many people neither understand
nor know Of add complications to the problem which
IL is well that every one should comprehend.
Such legislation as has been suggested would
certainly compicate relations with the rest Of the
world which are yet in most uncertain state And
the breaking of treaties is much more unpopular now

The Fear of Death

The announcement the other night to Phoenix
audience that those who manage to evade or
sidesep death until 1925 gives short lease of life
Of only four years, to the undertaking industry
which has undergone marvellous development within
the last half century 1t will also be cheering to
those whom death is grsly monster. if they be-
'lieve that the preacher fully informed of a
matter which has been hitherto rather obscure.
We do not know what may happen in the next
four years after that but the self constituted
adviser of the community would warn our read
ers to be on the safe side, to go preparing for
death and also to engage in the equally important
preparation to live.
Death is not the dreadful thing that most of US
think 1t is for the preservation of the race and
all animal life that the fear of death has been so
deeply implanted in us all by One whose vast plans
involve much more than the setting of His king
dom on earth Death is nothing to be feared by one
who is ready die BY that we do not mean only
him whose life has been -ordered and whose ac-
count is straight, but who realizes that all the
good he can do on earth has been done and who
when brought face with death, perceves it to
be inevitable and immediate.
There have been many instances when the dying
have gone out shrelng with horror but in the great
majority Of cases there peaceful resigna
ton end which led to the belief much bet
ter founded than that which rests on dstorting pro-
sphecy, that the power which planted the fear
OF death in for preservation in the hour and
article OF DEATH removes this dread Scientists tell
JUS that to the lower animals facing certain death
either by stronger beasts at the hands of men,
there comes a sort of blessed stupefaction which
swallows fear.
Whatever OF agony there may be in death must
he by all creatures that have lived and agony
will be succeeded by peace for those who have lived
rightly If spend time attending to that and
less to means the circumvention of death will
s. be in the way of attaining that last early peace
Except for that natural fear of death with which
as we have said, have been endowed for a wise
purpose we cannot understand why any believer
should inordinately desire to remain the earth.
'The doctrine eternal life EARTH believe,
docs not appeal 10 clear thinking people.
