Senator Quay in recent interview
said: las the matter stands at present,
am for ex-Speaker Reed for the Presi
dency. OF course | cannot foresee what
NAV or NAV not occur in the near or
comparatively distant future to change
my views. At this time my impression
is that Mr. Reed is the most available
candidate. The question Of expediency
will naturally cut considerable of fig

Senator Hill. who lectured at Ann
.Arbor on cold Landmarks" suggested
four changes in he United States Con-
stitution. First, that the Presidential
term be increased to six years, and the
President be ineligible for re election;
second that United States Senators be
elected by the people; third, that the
President be allowed to veto Individual
items in appropriation bills; fourth,
that paper currency should not be issued.
The Senator explained that by this he
meant that mere promises of the gov
eminent to pay money should not cir
culate as legal tender.
''The Waterman" of Boston, says the
notion ''that Sunday laws are of Puritan
origin betrays disposition to make a
point rather than accurate historical
knowledge. The Huguenots from France
enacted them in South Carolina, and the
Cavaliers from the court of Charles /. in
Virginia The very finest statute passed
by tho Cavaliers of Virginia provided
that he who did not attend the church
on Sunday should pay fine of two
pounds OF of tobacco. This was the first
law ever enacted in the United States,
and was passed in 1917, three years be
fore the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth
1t would be- discredit to the Puritans il
we could trace our Sunday legislation tC
them, but they are not entitled to that
honor -
