Nh. EDITOR
The first part of this statement asserts
that no amendment to the constitution can
be made, out OF, or concerning any reserved
sovereign right of the States or peopIe.-
Now as the States or the people (by Art. X.
OF amendments hold all of these reserved
rights not already given and now in the
Constitution, how can any Amendments
under this theory ever be, made giving to
Congress or the General Government anv
additional rights? 1t can't be done and
Congress should be notified Immediately of
this difficulty and withdraw those proposed.
The poor privilege allowed to Congress in
the latter part of the above statement to
propose amendments in regard TO matters
already in the Constitution must be restrict
ed also to mean such only as shall gire up

amendments made to the constitution since
'99 adding to the powers of Congress or the
General Government or taking away rights
of the States are void. The proposed
amendments regulating citizenship, prohib-
i.ing rebels to vote, fixing the basis of rep
resentation are all in the category. What

Ea"The value of boots and shoes mann

EG~ The value of boots and shoes manu-
featured in the United States in 1865. at
wholesale, amounted to $95, 500, 600. and
in 1918 to not as many thousand. 1t was
about this time that Rufus Chopin, of Mil
ford, Mass, conceived the idea that boots
and shoes could be made with pegs and be
as durable as if they were sewed. Acting
on the idea, Mr.. Chaplin at once commenced
the manufacture of pegged boots, splitting
the pegs by hand from strips of wood, sawed
by his direction into different lengths. This
was the first introduction of pegged boots
into this Or any other country He contin-
ued to manufacture pegged work success
fully until his death, in 1889; and this
branch OF manufacture has grown so rapidly
that it now stands third on the list of man
pfactured articles in the United States. Mr..
Chaplin had five sons who, from boyhood
up to the present time, have continued in
the business.
