REFORM IN LEGISLATION.
One of the next reforms and one
badly needed will effect 'states leg
islatures, v The start has 'been made
by : Maryland, which has adopted
rules that already luive olaimed na
tional attention.
There ' have been two great evils
, in connection wiwth the work of state
. legislatures. The first has been par
; tixanship and machine manipulation
of measures designed for the benefit
. of. theV public. The other has been
the' smothering of good measures in
. committee. : - .
The new rules adopted by both hous
es in Maryland. are so framed as to
put everything on a basis of publicity
' and to show up machinery wherever
. attempted and make the guilty per
sons ersponsible.' .'"'''.''
Although the Maryland legislature
is republican, the rules put every
measure, whether presented by anti-
organization democrat, republican or
an organization man,' on the same
plane. -The Maryland somite rules
provide that all bills introduced in the
first month of the session must be
reported within 20 days and all bills
introduced after the first month with
in. 15 days. , The only way a commit
tee may hold a bill longer is to ask
for more time and have its' request
granted by the majority vote of the
senate.. . .
, . The house rules are even more dras-
tic. They provide for the reporting
of measures . within the same time
limit without any means of extension
by a majority vote. The demand of
15 members that bills be reported be
comes the demand of the whole house
unless the rules are suspended by u
two-thirds vqto. ...
Rules such as these undoubtedly
will be adopted by other state legisla
ture)" '" They will tend to expedite
legislation and to eliminate maViy of
the evils that afc now' so patent to
all in. the present system of compli
cated, law making.' '

BRAZIL" AND ITS COLORS.'
Flag Day There Hat Now Become the
Great National Festival.
In the republic of Brazil, where tbe
ruling language Is Portuguese and a
welcoming, hand is extended alike to
tho European and the Asiatic immi
grant, groat attention bas been paid
for some years to the cultivation of a
spirit of patriotism.
The cult of the flag bas become more
and - more ardent In the hearts of
that people, and tbe "feast of tho flag"
each recjjrrlng November Is celebrated
with mbr'c'.ftml more ppjnp and enthu
siasm 'all over the immense empire and
on every Brazilian ship, wherever It
may be. In a country noted for Us nu
merous saints' days tho celebration of
Flag day has become tliu true festal
day.
Commenting on this, I.o Brcsll Eco
uomlque of Mo Janeiro says: "Our
people. nro imaginative and simple. A
flng undulating In the breeze as it
pusses by to the strains of martini
music, that the otilcors salute with tho
sword and before which everybody un
covers, speaks more strongly to the
heart of tho; people than any dry his
toric (Into' which presents nothing In
tlio cow-reto mid which to the Ignorant
recails'liotliJng of significance."
'Tlie lessen fif the flag is taught to all
the children of the schools In Brazil.
and on Flag day they gather in tho pub
lic Kqunrcs of the city and town and,

COLLEGE HAZING.

In St. Auguttjnt't Tim.
At most American colleges t Is called
'hazing;'" at West "Point It Is called
"crawling" and at -tKnglish schools
'fagging" is often iii)iiUd. YVIteu St.
Augustine was a hoy ihey called it
wrecking." . .......
In u translation of his "Confessions,"
for which I lim indebted to a learned
clerical- friend." St. Augustine relates
what the buys did at the University of
Carthage: ,. . ; ;,
"I would take no part in the wild do
ings of the 'wreckers.' a cruel and dev
ilish name, which wns looked upon as
tho stamp of (lie best set. I went about
with them, and of some of them I made
mends. ,Wt I always disliked theil
wnys 'of .-going' ofi.i their,'1 wreckings
their wanton attacks upon the shyness
of freshmen and the unprovoked nf
fronts wltli - which they curried ontlieli
malignant mmisotnciit, Nojiiliig could
bn more like the conduct of devil, mid
what name could be litter for them
than 'writekem.' "
