The Need of a New State Constitution

Of all the many reasons for a more up-to-date constitution to reDlace the obsolete instrument

made in 1851, none is more pressing than the meed of Indiana cities for home rule. As things

now are, our Hoosier cities are mere agents of

Vn of of a xr 5fh fw riorhts of their own. btate

i OUtdV) av - !laws fix the number of public officials, their du

ties and their salaries. They set a limit to. the

tax rate and regulate the collection and expenditure of all public moneys. The city council and khe board of works are hemmed in on all sides

fby statutory restrictions. J This means for all practical purposes that Richmond is largely governed by men who do 'not live here and who have no interests here. ;A state law drawn up and introduced by some (representative from the farthest away district nay more vitally affect this town than its own 1 ordinances. Robbed of the powers of self-government, cities are not free to develop according to their own local needs and peculiar character. Public i spirited men are discouraged from attempting l-what they feel the town should have because jtheir efforts are so often blocked by rigid state Statutes. Had it not been for such restrictions Richmond would long ere this have had necessary projection of public health through a more adequate fdairy regulation. So, also, could she have presented the frightful butchery that has decimated ,sher shade trees. The abflity of our Indiana cities to compete with towns in Ohio and Illinois, and their devel- ! opment for satisfying the needs of their own inf habitants, demand a constitution which confers I on them the right of home rule. If you are imtbued with civic patriotism, you will do a good I service to your city by boosting for a constitutional convention every chance you get.

and where it cannot vent itself normally it will

find a way out through abnormal channels. It

is because facilities for healthful exercise is denied them that so many boys go to the bad and wind up in the reformatory. If they cannot play right they will play wrong.

Recreation facilities cost little in comparison

with other forms of public effort, but they bring

back the largest of returns. Who can tell what

might eventuate if Richmond were to furnish

enough playgrounds to keep her children off the

street ? The child generation contains all the materials of future citizenship. No people can rise

higher than its youth. In knee pants and short skirts the world's future Edisons, Wrights, Florence Nightingales and Madame Curies, are now romping around.

I MASONIC CALENDAR 1

"Swatter Up!" One of the busiest little creatures in existence is the house fly. When it isn't playing hide-and-seek in a garbage can or making exploration trips among the dinner dishes, it is raising families. And such families! The mother fly lays some one hundred and twenty eggs at a time about every two weeks. In ten days these eggs have grown to maturity and the progeny are going into the egg laying business for themselves. That is kept up until the frost and late fall parasites make an end to the fly population except the few hardy individuals which crawl away into warm, dark places for the winter. Those are the flies to swat! And now is the

time to swat them! If that one dopy old great-

grandmother fly which crawled out of your attic yesterday can lay a batch of eggs in a pile of filth, she alone can populate the whole city of Richmond. If her children live after her and breed according to the same ratio, the combined offspring of that one rheumaticky pest you didn't take the trouble to swat would total by October first 27,201,388,032,000,000,000,000,000! If they were pressed compactly, the mass would measure 900,000 cubic miles. If every one of our almost nine thousand subscribers were to swat one fly, they would forestall a possible progeny of well, you can calculate that for yourself (we are too busy) but the total mass would be 8,100,000,000 cubic miles. It is better to sweep out those dopy, dreamy, 'possum playing, old winter flies now and cremate them than to wait to trap them next month. Now is the time to prevent the fly. Swatter up!

Playgrounds

Never was a child born that wasn't born to play. As sparks fly upward, boys and girls must romp and run. It's in their blood. The Creator mixed the instinct with the stuff of which they're made. It is as useless to attempt to thwart that impulse as to endeavor, like the mad old king, to sweep back the tides with a broom. But the majority of our cities have grown up with never a thought for the child. Women say these are man-made cities, but children have a much greater right to say these are grown up folks' cities. As Li Hung Chang said of New York they say of their home town, "I was left out when this place was planned." Play strengthens the lungs, stimulates the flow of blood, toughens muscles, sharpens the wits, and breeds self reliance. It is as impossible for a play less child to remain normal as for a workless man to escape degeneracy. Without play there can be no growth and the fresh start Which nature gives every generation is lost when children cannot play. Because of this an emi

nent sociologist has declared "the lack of health

ful play works as much harm as child labor," while wither remarks, "the boy without play is fattier to the man without a job."

The t? cWWhood action is

Tolls Discrimination The senate committee on interoceanic canals is now grinding through the great mass of data concerning the now famous exemption of the coast wise shippers from paying Panama Canal

tolls. Although the natural inclination of the senate would be to favor the shipping trust, its members are finding that the preponderance of evidence goes to show we have no right to exempt any ship from paying its just share toward the maintenance of the canal. Enemies of the repeal have sought to place such a construction on the Hay-Pauncefote treaty as to wrest it into permitting the exemption. But the correspondence out of which the treaty grew (it has been placed before the senate) shows it was intended by both sides at the time the treaty was made that no tolls favoritism should be shown this or any other country. The exact reading of the Clayton-Bulwer agreement, now known as the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, is "that there shall be no discrimination against any such nation or its citizens or subjects in respect to the conditions or charges of traffic or otherwise." A ship leaving Halifax for San Francisco would pay tolls; a ship leaving Portland, Maine, for San Francisco would not pay tolls. This is a

plain discrimination against Canada. A ship sailing from Liverpool to San Francisco would pay tolls; a ship sailing from New ork to San Francisco would be exempt. This is a plain discrimination against England. A New York business man shipping to Hongkong would pay tolls; a New York business man shipping to San Francisco and there transferring to a Chinese vessel for Hongkong, would not pay

tolls. This is discriminating against one class of American citizens in favor of another class. If the coastwise shipping is exempt, other ships must pay a higher toll because the total amount is fixed proportionate to the expense of maintaining the canal. If all our railways were owned by the government, we wouldn't dream of permitting shippers in any given section of the country to use them without charge. That is just what the shipping trust is asking the United States to do with the canal. Many opponents of the repeal argue "This is

an American canal. Therefore all American ships should be free to use it." Even if this contention is granted for the sake of argument it gives no weight to the tolls exemption clause because that clause permits only a small number of American ships the free use of the canal. All except those engaged in coastwise shipping would be charged as all others. If the American ownership of the canal means that American

ships are to have free use of it, why not let all

American snips nave tree use of it 7 Why limit that privilege only to the New England shipping trust?

Praise Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Women from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from all sections of this great country, no city so large, no village so small but that some woman has written words of thanks for health restored by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. No woman who is suffering from the ills peculiar to her sex should rest until she has given this famous remedy a trial. Is it not reasonable to believe that what it did for these women it will do for any sick woman ? Wonderful Case of Mrs. Stephenson, on the Pacific Coast. Independence, Oregon. "I was siok with what four doctors called Nervous Prostration, was treated by them for several years, would be better for a while then back in the old way again. I had palpitation of the heart very bad, fainting spells, and was so nervous that a spoon dropping to the floor would nearly kill nie, could not lift the lightest weight without making me sick; in fact was about as sick and miserable as a person could be. I saw your medicines advertised and thought I would try them, and am so thankful I did for they helped me at once. I took about a dozen bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and also used the Sanative Wash. Since then I have used them whenever I felt sick. Your remedies are the only doctor I employ. You are at liberty to publish this letter." Mrs. YV. Stephenson, Independence, Oregon. A Grateful Atlantic Coast Woman. IIodgdon, Me. " I feel it a duty I owe to all suflering women to tell what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for nie. One year ago I found myself a terrible sufferer. I had pains in Ijoth sides and such a soreness I could scarcely straighten up at times. My back ached, I had no appetite and was so nervous I could not sleep, then I would be so tired mornings that I could scarcely get around. It seemed almost impossible to move or do a bit of work and I thought I never would le any better until I submitted to an operation. I commenced taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and soon felt like a new woman. I had no pains, 6lept well, had good appetite and was fat and could do almost all my own work for a family of four. I shall always feel that I owe my good health to your medicine.'" Mrs. Hayward Sowers, IIodgdon, Maine.
