ENATOR BOURNE
ON LEGISLATION
How to Prevent Misuse ot
Centralized Wealth.
COUNTRY'S GREATESTPROBLEM
Substitution of Popular For Delegated
Government Suggested as the Solu
tionSteps by Which the End May
Be Accomplished.
Discussing means for securing ef
fective legislation preventing mlsuso
of centralized wealth, Senator Jona
than Bourne, Jr., said:
"The greatest problem before the
country Is to make the' people respon
Glble for the enactment of laws by
giving them power to legislate under
the Initiative and to veto under the
referendum In case the legislative
branch of any state falls to truly rep
resent the general welfare of the peo
ple and also to make the people re
sponsible for the selection of public
servants under efficient primary and
corrupt practices laws, thus making
all public servants directly accounta
ble and responsive to the composite
citizen, individual unknown. The sub
stitution of popular for delegated gov
ernment is rapidly accomplishing this
result, thus substituting general wel
fare for selfish Interest ns the motive
power of government and goal of the
public servant.
What Trust Decisions Show.
"The recent decisions of the su
premo court in the Standard Oil and
tobacco cases demonstrate that the
next greatest problem before the coun
try Is the enactment of legislation
which will provide broad, well deliued,
legal avenues through which dynamic
mentality with centralized wealth can
operate with the greatest efficiency,
but with necessitated recognition of
the general welfare of the people", the
rights of employees and employers,.
Insuring to the small stockholders
their proportionate share of tho incre
ment incident to tho operation of tho
capital in tho aggregation of which
they have participated.
"Centralization of people, government
and business is an economic evolution
incident to our civilization. Man can
not prevent but can provide legal uve
nues through which these great forces
must operate with tho greatest benefit
to the general welfare and the least
Injury to tho individual. ,
"The legal avenues should bo as
broad and well defined as possible, but
barriers should be erected along the
roadways providing for tho Imprison
ment of any individual who attempts
to break through them. Ascertain
ment of existing methods and condi
tions should bo the first step; collation
of opinions from practical employees,
employers and economic students the
second; analysis and deduction based
on tho ascertainment and collation of
views tho third; the enactment of leg
islation embodying conclusions tho
fourth; co-operation between lawmak
ers and business interests on tne lines
of ascertainment of the best legislation
procurable, with resultant protection
of the general welfare of the people
and co-operative rights of employee and
employer, the desideratum; ascertain
ment rather than Investigation, prose
cution rather than persecution, the
goal; publicity and not secrecy one of
tho methods; the highest possible re
ward for legitimate efficiency and rig
id obedience to the law, with personal
punishment to the Individual breaking
the .laws, tho result."
FAMOUS SPECIALIST TELLS
WHY WOMEN HAVE NERVES
Came From Italy to This Country and
Got His Answer.
A famous Italian specialist, Dr. En
rico Serafini; has been trying to find
out why women have nerves, and after
thorough studies in Europe he camo
to the United States to seek the secret
here.
He has answered tho question
promptly. The woman with all the di
version she wants has so much more
than Ashe needs that she is headed
stralghtxfor the miseries of neuras
thenia. " v
Neurasthenlloin Its scientific perfec
tion was found tV Dr. Serafini to pre
vail among American women of
wealth and refinement. It Is worse
In Washington than In Mw York be
cause Washington's activities are al
most wholly social, whllo New Sprk' in
spite of Its tremendous onrush 6ixen
crgy mixes business and pleasure wo
thoroughly that people nave less chance
to suffer tho monotony of continual
amusement.
Our very phase of neurasthenia Is
peculiar. Tho Latin races become so
exhausted that they aro limp with las
situde; the pure Saxons grow utterly
dull and torpid; the Americans are
overstlmulated. rs though they must
keep going on faster and faster, The
best thing to do with, these human
comets is to condemn them to such
absolute rest and silence that they
won't even think.
"The fundamental trouble that lies
back of a good deal of American neu
rasthenia." Dr. Serafini says, "U the
lack of resource for genuine diversion
on the part of both men and women.
It goes back to their early education,"
WILL TAX PET DOGS
HOME FROM ABROAD.
The Government Finds Authority to
Imposa New Duty.
Tho treasury department ban discov
ered another clause In the tariff law
by which tho nation's revenue may be
Increased. This Is a clause under
which those sending abroad American
born animals must pay duty upon
their return to this country. It will
principally affect those sending raring
strings across the Atlantic-and those
taking pot dogs over and back.
The decision to put the heretofore
unapplied clause of the law Into effect
follows a decision of the United States
district court in Texas. An American
contractor had been working many
horses and mules on the other side of
the Mexican border. When the revolu
tion came In that country he brought
his stock back Into Texas. The cus
toms officials sought to collect duty
upon it. This the contractor reslsfcd.
The case went to the courts, and tho
government won.
Section COO of the free list of the
tariff act of 1009 provides under what
conditions articles of American make
can be returned duty free after expor
tation. This free list Includes "arti
cles the growth, produce or manufac
ture of tho United States, not Includ
ing animals, when returned after hav
ing been exported."
The "not Including animals" Is tho
clause under which the present action
Is taken. It was Included in the law
for the purpose of preventing those on
the border obtaining a revenue from
their animals In a foreign country and
then bringing them back without tho
government sharing In the revenue de
rived from such foreign service. They
probably contemplated, customs ex
perts say, the application of the law In
this spirit and' not to tho letter. Not
long ago the treasury department,
keeping to the letter of the law, con
fined the $100 duty free limit allowed
every resident returning from abroad
to embrace simply articles of personal
necessity. A storm of protest arose,
and tho order was soon rescinded.
Under tho tariff law foreign bred an
imals can bo brought In duty free pro
vided they are for breeding purposes,
but theso must bo of blue blood, for In
excluding them from tho payment of
duty the law contemplates tho improv
ing of our own live stock. Such ani
mals may be also brought in without
tho payment of duty for exhibition
purposes, provided they are placed In
bond.
The Offense Defined.
General Vrnft, an attorney of Terre
Haute. Intl., win once called Into a
jewelry store in the town to settle a
dispute.
"See here, general," explained the
proprietor, "if I tako a watch from
Sir. Smith here and make repairs that
cost mo 10 cent and then keep It
hanging up for a week and charge him
:,! when he comes to get It, what per
centage do I make? We have been
figuring for half an hour and only get
up to 000 per cent, and that Is but a
dollar, oo we decided to leave it to
you."
"Well," wild the general gravely,
"you must know that it is a fact, and
It has been 'demonstrated by calculat
ing machines, that at certain points In
progressive numbers the law govern
ing them changes. In your caso the
law would change long before It reach
ed tho $0 nnd would run out of per
centage and into what Is known nnd
designated as lRrecny."
Open Door and a Light.
The wives of north country collie:-
observe a very touching and pathetic
etistom when an accident occurs In
the pit. Directly It is known to the
wife of a collier that an accident' tuw
happened In the pit whero her hus
band works and that his fate is un
certain she throws open tho houso
door, and, however Inclement the
weather may be, she keeps tho door
open and a candlo burning In tho win
dow night und day till Uio man is
brought home, dead or alive. In somo
cases the door has remained open and
the candle alight during several
weeks. London Graphic.
A Curious Supsrstition.
The ancients believed that the mar-
iow of the human backbone often
transformed itself into a serpent. Pliny
("Natural History," volumo 10, page
Gli) says that the marrow of a man's
biickbono Mil breed to a snake. Tha
Chinese (Wordo's "Eastern Travels")
burned the backbone to "destroy ser
pents that might hatch therefrom."

CURE FOR BLINDNESS.
Oculist Tells of Grafting Portion of
Dog's Eye on a Human's.
That n person totally blind fnim
ophthalmia, even from birth, can bo
made to see by having a portion of a
dog's eye grafted on his own was the
startling communication made by Dr.
Borsch, an American oculist. In a pa
per read before a meeting of the
French Ophthalmologlcal society at
Paris.
In the course of his address the doc
tor explained that ns a result of blind
ness from ophthalmia and from other
causes the cornea, which is the trans
parent membrane In tho front of the
eye, becomes opaque, and in such a
case the only chance of restoring the
sight Is to replace the defective cornea
by a healthy one.
To perform this difficult operation
Dr. Borsch first operates on a dog,
lays back from Its eye tho conjunctiva
or skin of the eyeball surrounding the
cornea, removes a portion of the latter
and places It aside In blood serum.
Ho then performs tho same opera
tion on tho patient's eye, removing a
part of tho front of tho eye of the
same size as the cornea taken from
the animal. The dog's cornea Is then
placed In position on the human eye
and secured with stitches of the finest
possible silk, the surrounding skin,
which had been laid back, being
brought Into place over the edge of
the cornea and also sewed.
The new graft unites with the eye
In a few days, aided by a temporary
glass cover to keep It In shape and by
Injections of the serum to stimulate
vitality.
PRIMPING SCHEDULE.
Plan Adopted In Chicago Corporation
Counsel's Office.
"Give a girl a chance to primp, a
real chance, and she will do better
work all day. The eternal feminine is
getting more feminine every day, even
If a good many women nro shouting
for votes and divided skirts," sighed
A. B. Callaghan, chief clerk in the of
fice of the Chicago corporation coun
sel As he uttered this doleful plaint
he handed an order to the office boy.
Instructing him to post it In full view
of the ten best stenographers in the
office It said:
The ten most competent girls In this
odlce will be allowed to primp for fifteen
minutes each morning. They will report
at 8:45. primp for fifteen minutes and get
ready for work at 9 a. m.
This sudden generous streak on the
part of the chief clerk caused a flurry
among the ten young women who had
elected themselves to tho "ten club" of
the corporation counsel's office. A
sshort meeting was held, and a schedule
was adopted. This primping time ta
ble, timed to consume fifteen minutes,
was made out after a heated controver
sy as to whether the powder bag or
the puffs should receive the most Im
mediate attention;
8:13 a. m. Inspect braids.
8:46 a. m. Straighten puffs.
8:43 a. m. Fluff hair.
8:49 a. m. Adjust belt.
8:50 to 9 a. m. Rub face with powder
bag-
Wise or Innocent?
He met her one night at a reception
and asked her to go to the theater
with him. She accepted, and, as they
llkttd each other, they went again later.
Thi'u it got to be a weekly occurrence.
Finally be got to thinking that ho was
solid enough with her to go out be
tween tho acts, nnd so ho did. For
several weeks ho worked this and met
with no rebuff. But she was thinking
a lot, even though she wasn't saying
anything.
Ono evening sho said, "Why don't
you go to tho smoking room to smoke
Instead of going to tho lobby?"
"Is Is there a smoking room In
side?" ho asked.
"Of course. You always say that
you aro going out to smoke, and
It seems so useless to have to tako
your hat and coat every time. And
If you thought of it beforehand you
could buy thoso cigarettes that you
seem to llko tho ones that smell like
cloves, you know before you come."
Ho is wondering if sho Is as wlso as
it seems or as innocent as it appears.

1 HE CA! ! I
WITH THE SHIP
Drowned Sailor Reappears to
His Sweetheart.
The United Slates frigate Pensacoia.
ordered to Brazil, was getting up an
chor. Lieutenant Edward Fletcher and
his fiancee, Grace Banning, were stand
ing hi a corner of the deck speaking
the last hurried parting words.
"From ail I can learn, sweetheart,"
ho said, "we'll get back here within
six months, nnd when we do"
"Oh, Ned, suppose something should
happen!"
"What can happen In theso times of
peace? No; I'll bo here with the ship,
and then"
"Don't speak so confidently: there
are storms and, down there, hurri
canes." "Darling, I tell you I'll be hero with
the ship, no matter what happens."
There was n signal for visitors to
leave tho ship, a long, Impassioned
embrace between the lovers, and Miss
Banning went ashore.
On reaching Itio, Lieutenant Fletcher
was ordered to command a boat's crew
to go ashore and bring off supplies.
The passage was not considered dan
gerous, but a strong wind and tide, de
spite tho oarsmen's efforts to kdep the
boat steady, carried her bow around so
that she fell Into tho trough of the sea.
At tho moment a gigantic wave dash
ed against her side, capsized her, and
the young commander nnd nil of his
crew were drowned.
The shock to Grace Banning at hear
ing of her lover's death well nigh up
set her reason. At first she cried to
him plteously to come back to her;
that ho had promised to come back
with the ship. Then sho fell Into a
stupor, a lack of Interest In everything
about her. In vain her mother en
deavored to provide her with such oc
cupation and amusement as would di
vert her mind. All In vain. She con
stantly brooded over the last scene be
tween her and her lover, especially the
words spoken by each, nlways ending,
"Darling. I tell you I'll bo hero with
the ship, no matter what happens."
Mrs. Banning was pained to notice
that her daughter was keeping track
of the Pensacola. That ship on touch
ing at Bio received orders to proceed
around "the norn" to San Francisco,
thenco to Hongkong. Grace watched
the government reports. Indeed, her
heart was In tho ship sailing around
the world. Perhaps she was waiting
for it to return that she might again
stand In the corner where she had bid
den what had proved a last farewell.
Wheu tho ship reached China she be
gan to appear more cheerful. It was
as If her lover was aboard and, having
sailed over half the globe, would now
have entered upon the return. Mrs.
Banning, not realizing the cause of the
change In Grace, begau to hope that
sho was mending and even looked
about for a suitable party with whom
sho might mako a match for her. She
knew Grace would never marry for
love and, being Indifferent as to whom
she married, might be influenced to
take a rich husband.
At last It was announced that the
ship Pensacola was due. Sho did not
arrive on time, and Grace seemed trou
bled. When she arrived Grace was in
a flutter, acting ns ono about to be re
united with a lover Instead of with the
ship on which he had sailed.
Then came Invitations for a ball giv
en by the officers on board the ship.
Mrs. Banning reproved tho servant
who unwittingly gave the enrds to
Grace, but was thunderstruck when
her daughter told her that she would
attend the ball. Finding that she could
not dissuade her, the mother consent
ed, with a faint hope that the visit
under such different circumstances
from the last might break the spell.
On the night of the entertainment
the ship was brilliantly illuminated,
whllo a marine band furnished music.
The decks were In possession of tho
dancers. Mrs. Banning kept an eye on
her daughter for awhile, but Grace
seemed to stand up so well under tho
strain that her mother soon gave over
watching her. Then Grace was miss
ing. She had walked, on the arm of a
naval officer, to tho corner where sho
had parted with her lover. That cor
ner was now in the light, and couples
were walking past it to and fro.
Suddenly Grace's form quivered, she
threw up her arms and exclaimed:
"Ned! Oh, Ned! I knew you would
be hero!"
Sho started forward with outstretch
ed arms, but soon sank In a swoon.
nor attendant, astonished, picked her
up, whllo several couples who were
passing sprnng to his assistance. Wa
ter was sprinkled In her face, and she
revived. Then, with a strango light in
her eye, she walked away, supported
by her attendant. Her mother was
called, .and they left the ship to bo
drlvenfcome.
Tho officer who had been her escort,
puzzled, went back to tho place whero
Grace had swooned. There in the cor
ner whero sho had seen, or fancied sho
saw, her lover he picked up several
strands of wet, slimy seaweed. Ho
wondered how they came there.
Grace was driven to a homo sho nev
er afterward left. She made no men
Hon of the cause of her shock, and her
mother never asked for Information
concerning it. The physician who was
called in pronounced her caso one of
hysteria, tho result of monomania or
brooding on one subject," However that
may be, her melancholy never left her,
and six months after her second visit
to the Penxacola she hnd naBsed away.
