Let the Government Pay.
From the Washington Reporter.

The newspaper receives in nearly every
mail a request for the publication of stuff"
advertising some feature OF the national
government-advising the people to rush to
the postoffice or bank and buy goods or
savings stamps, or urging young men to
join the army or navy or telling of the pub
lie examination for postmasters or rural
carriers or other government jobs, or some
thing else pertaining to Uncle Sans many
lines. But it is made plain that nothing can
be paid for the publication The man who
sends out these requests, or rather who SUI
perintends the matter, is one of the high
priced fellows, and of course when the sal
aries of the job-holders and the other en-
ployeS, who work as little as possible and
draw all the money they can are paid there
is nothing left for the newspaper-Dawson
News.
It's fact and shame that great, rich
government like that of the United States new
er tires of trying to ride the men who run the
newspapers of the country.
There is not week passes that do not
receive from some governmental department
requests for free space for matter that is OF
importance to all the people-that means
money in the pockets of many. AS the editor
is but one of many million and depends upon
his space to make a living the people as a
whole should pay for such matter through the
government.
There would be the same amount of Justice
and reason in the government asking any
manufacturer to distribute its product free to
the people as there is in expecting the news
papers to do so.
The newspapers of the country should get
together and bring such pressure to bear upon
congress that this body would pass a law
providing a fund for government publicity.
Unless such a thing is done there will be a
great waste OF time, paper and stamps in send
ing such matter to this paper.

The Dangerous" Bath.

Less than eighty years ago the first bath
tub was installed in an American home, caus-
ing Juror throughout the country that re-
suited in local legislation to save the people
from the dangerous innovation. Erudite Bos-
ton passed an ordinance in 1845 that held
bathing unlawful unless on the advice OF
physician, but it never was enforced, for which,
no doubt, the cultured persons Of that city are
thankful to this day. The blot on Boston's
escutcheon is not so deep and dark as it might
have been with the ordinance enforced to the
letter Staid Philadelphia two years earlier
considered an ordinance prohibiting bathing
between November l and March Is. 1t failed
of passage by two votes, and those OF Phila-
delphia who wished to do so had the Legal
right to practice sanitation in their homes.
The most shocking thing connected with
the trials of the bath tub in America is the
opposition in early history of the medical pro-
fession. Physicians attacked it as dangerous
to health The controversy spread amazingly
and arguments were offered that bathing
would produce no end of colds and probably
pneumonia. The medical profession has learn
ed much, along with the rest of humanity, in
the past seventy five years. 1t is not respect
able not to battle regularly and frequently.
Those who are lax in this particular duty OF
their private lives never admit it, knowing
the danger of being criticised. AS health
producer the bath, perhaps, has no rival in ev-
ery-day life The first bath tub in the white
house was installed at the order OF President
Fillmore, who, bathing in the first tub that
was introduced at Cincinnati, suffered no i'll et-
fects from getting wet all over and became
an ardent advocate of the bath tubs use.
Today America is a country of bath tubs.
| 1t has more bath tubs per capita than any
country in the world. In Europe the hotel
room with bath is the exception; in Amer
| ica in city or town, or village, the room with
out bath is rare. Times have changed, and
the bath tub has done nobly Nowadays the
only dangerous" bath is the one not taken.

The Governor and the Legislature.

Governor Hardwick now knows how it
is when it comes to getting state 1egisla-
ture to do the things which a governor thinks
a state legislature ought to do" says the Al
bany Herald. Although it seemed that ma
jority of the legislature were antagonistic to
Governor Hardwick and bucked considerably
during the session final results show that
he came nearer getting what he wanted from
that body than any other executive within
our recollection He held the reins with a
firm hand, and the solons came around in
the closing hours of the session. We are not
so sure, however, that all that was done will
meet with the approval of the people OF the
state But time alone can tell

The legislature which has just adjourned
voted to submit to the voters at a general
election a number of proposed laws. Usually
the number of votes cast on any referendum
is less than half of the total votes cast for
candidates at the same election The election
laws already entail on the people more respon-
sibility than they are willing to discharge.
This is serious objection to referendum laws
under which submission to the people of any
action may be required.

The man with a large amount of property
gets more protection than the poor man, and
if the tax is placed on consumption the man
with his little worldly goods and big family
of children will pay much heavier share of
tax than the wealthy man with only himself
and wife and one or two children. Taxes
should be placed upon those who get protec-
ton to property according to what they have.

A German plane, said to be able to fly from
Germany to America within a day, is to be
manufactured in Holland because the treaty
terms forbid aero development by the Teu-
tons. The aircraft would have to make speed
of 312 miles an hour. This is the most ambi-
tious plan yet made for any heavier than air
machine, and developments of the past warn
against the declaration that it cannot be done.

Cut Out the "CoIoneIs. "
From the Moultrie Observer.

A movement is interesting the entire Geor-
gla bar to stop the promiscuous use of titles
in the state They want to "cut out the colo
|nels"
They suggest that such titles as Colonel"
captain" and Judge" be applied to only such
persons as have actually earned them on the
battlefield or in military service, or on the
bench.
For many years past it has been the Gus
tom in Georgia, as in other southern states,
to call every lawyer colonel" after he has
reached middle age and a reasonable amount
of distnction-except in the event he wears
whiskers-when he is called Judge" instead
Many of the gentlemen on whom these titles
have been thrust by usage are far from desir-
ing them, and really embarrassed by their
use. The class of people who want such titles
without merting them is so small as to be
negligible. The type has passed who used to
sing or think
Il want to be colonel
And with the colonies stand;
A cockade on my hat,
And cocktail in my hand"
Most of the spurious colonies of today have
not usurped their titles. They have had them
simply thrust upon them by a usage which
they deplore. In fact, the leaders in the move
ment to do away with the general use of the
titles are Welt known attorneys whose friends
have been for many years calling them colonel
against their wishes.

Convicts Make Tour
Famous Ditch Trail

Three territorial convicts can boast
to their fellows on their return to Ho-
nolulu that they have traversed Maui's
famous Ditch Trail and witnessed it's
scenic wonders. Since the territory
does not furnish personally conducted
tours for its prisoners who may from
time to time sojourn on the Valley
Isle, the three convicts took matters
in their own hands and arranged the
trip for themselves. 1t is expected
that they will soon be returned to the
~penitentiary, but they will have mem
cries to take back with them.
AS they were journeying the upper
Ditch Trail in he~-direction of kailua
the three 'scapes from the prisoners
camp at the Fair Grounds were cap
tured Saturday evening. They spent
the night in irons and were then
marched back in the direction of Wal
luku and confinement. The sheriff
has notified the office of the high
sheriff of the escape and ~recapture
of the prisoners and is awaiting in
structions from Honolulu.
The tip to the sheriff's office that
the escaped convicts were or had been
in the Hama district was a straight
one. They were traced and caught
up with. Then it was learned they
had made their way, hiking it, from
Kahului to Kailua and thence over the
Ditch Trail into the Hama district and
were headed back on their sightseeing
tour when overtaken.

Past Good Record Is
Given Consideration

Because of his previous good rec
ord, leniency was shown to Curtis e.
Newly when he confessed to stealing
a watch from a teachers cottage at
Lahaina in Judge Burr's court. He
was sentenced to serve ten days in
jail. Newly was one of the party of
naval sailors who entered the Lahaina
cottage and used a camera they found
to take photographs of members OF
the party in the nude. 1t was that
prank that led TO their undoing, for
the sheriff had the films developed,
prints made, furnished them to the
navy department, and that department
did the rest. Court martial was the
order OF the day for the culprits.
Before Judge Burr it developed that
Newly is in his second enlistment and
has previously had a good record. He
might have been let off with a sus
pended sentence had ii not been that
he was NJ. P. for the shore party and
joined them in their libations and sub
sequent drunken escapade. He will be
punished by the navy as well, and
Judge Burr believes the lesson will be
sufficient.
