Generat Harrison Explains How tt Was
Made by the People.
Ex-Prssident uarrison's S paper in The
Ladies Home Journal Of "This Coun-
try of Ours" series treats oomprehen-
sively of the constitution and its appli-
cation aud operation, defining the in
strnment. its scope and limitations
clearly. "The word constitution, he
writes, ''as used among us implies a
written instrument. but in England il
is used to describe governmental sys-
tenn or organization made up pof charters
AS the Magma Charta-the general
acts of parliament and body of long
established legal usages or customs.
These are not compiled in any single in
strument as with us, but are to be
sought in many places.
"The common American usage in
making state constitution Is to elect
by popular vote delegates TO conven-
tion, whose duty it is to prepare a plan
of government. When the delegates
have agreed and have properly certified
the instrument, it is submitted to di-
rect vote of the people, and each voter
casts ballot For the constitution or
Against the constitution. If majority
vote for the constitution, 1t then be-
comes the paramount law Of the state.
The legislature does not make the con-
stitution; the constitution makes the
legislature. The American idea is that
constitutions proceed from the people in
the exercise of their natural right of self
government and can only be amended
or superseded by the people. Whatever
one legislature or congress epacts the
next one may repeal, but neither can re-
peal or infringe constitutional provi-
sion.
"The delegates to the convention that
| framed the constitution of the United
| States were not, however, chosen by q
| popular vote in the states, but by the
| legislatures. Nor was the question OF
the adoption of the constitution submit
ted in the states to a direct popular
| vote. - y There have been % amend
| ments to the constitution adopted. Ter
| of these were proposed TO the legisla
lures of the states by the First congress
and ratified. The other five amendment
have in like manner been submitted b,
congress to the state legislatures for rat
ification, conventions in the states no
having been used in any case. twill b
noticed also that the vote upon tn
adoption Of the constitution and upol
amendments thereto is by states, eacl
state, without regard to its population
having one vote. But while these provi
sions make the popular control less di
rect than is usual in the states and nee
essarily recognize the states in the proc
ess of making and amending the consti
tuition, the idea that constitutions pre-
ceed from the people is not lost. {"

A MESSAGE FROM THE GALE.
Listening on the Ice Floe'to the Roar OF
the Coming Storm.

the Coming STORM.
When the swell is heavy in the ice
mack. it is often very difficult to ascer-
tain from which direction it comes, and
inst as difficult as it is, just so lmpor-
tant may it be that it should be found
out rightly, as the safety OF the ship
might wholly depend upon correct Judg-
ment os to this. When the huge ice
masses begin to move and screw ana
nress on the sides of the vessel, rising
and falling i'll heavy swell, then there
is only one escape-namely, to work the
vessel into the fields away from the side
from which the gale blows. A mistake
as to the direction of the running swell
has cften proved fatal, and the mistake
is easily made.
An old arctic sealer told me how in
hours of dread in the arctic icepack he
had laid his ear down to the ice foe and
listened to the roar of the coming swell
that terrible message from the furious
oale-and how he thus had discovered
whence the gale was pressing and had
been able to save the ship from destruc-
tiou. | tried his method and found that
il worked admirably. What is we'll
worth noticing is that open water nearly
always is to be found in the ice pack on
one side of icebergs. The icebergs that
we met were generally in motion, car
ried onward by the ruling current. Of
ten they ran forward in the icetields at
speed Of several knots, piling up the
huge foes before their cold, glittering
bows. but behind them they lefta oper
sheet of water large enough for any ship
Now, there would of course be many
dangers for a vessel tugged along in the
ice pack by such floating monster pu
believe nevertheless that this methot
might be instrumental in saving YES
sci from being crushed when the icefeit
is moving heavily. .-C. Z. Borchgrevinl

AUTUMN.

With shy brown eyes she comes again.
With hair sunny, siikon skein,
As full OF light as gollenrod;
Love in her voice, love in her nod,
She treads so softly no one knows
The time she comes. the time she goes-
Tho grass IS brown. the leaves begin
Their gold and crimson dyes TO win.
Each cricket sings rs loud as ten
To drown the noisy locust. when
You come, o Inaidl to bid Us cry
To summer sweet long goodby.
And when you go tho leaves are gonei
The asters farewell scent Is flown;
Poor Cupid puts away his wings,
And close 20 coy corners clings;
The rude winds usher, with shout.
The winter in. the autumn out.
There's sadness In her shy brown eyes,
Though ga her gown with tawny dyes'
Loves in her voice-but telling most
OF one who's loved, but loved and lost:
She treads SO softly no one knows
The time she comes, the time she goes.

WILLIAM PENN WARE.

Hardly had the daughter got cold
in death and in the midst of the grief
of the family, they were called upon
to suffer untold sorrow in the loss of
the husband and father, Mr.. W. P.
Ware. Mr.. Ware was stricken down
with pneumonia week ago last Fri
day, and at 9:45 last Friday evening
he also passed into the world beyond,
surrounded by the already heart brok-
en- family. Mr.. Ware was born in
Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 8, 1928; from
there he removed to Illinois. He was
a member of Co. D., goth Illinois in
fantry and served three years, from
August 1862 to August 1866, and was
engaged in several prominent battles.
At the age of 26 he married, and in
1880 moved to Stevens county. Four
children blessed their marriage, two
boys and two girls, two Of whom (the
boys) survive him. His mother and
bother of Illinois we're summoned,
but the mother was too aged and fee
BILE to undertake the journey, so his
brother came alone, arriving just four
hours too late to see Mr.. Ware alive.
The funeral took place Sunday after
noon from the Congregational church
and father and daughter were laid
side by side in one grave. Many are
the sorrowing and sympathizing
friends who offer coincidence to the
grief stricken mother and sons in their
dire distress.

HARMON e. NC KENzIE.

The third funeral of Sunday was
that of Harmon E. Mckenzie, who
died Saturday at 1920 a. m. of con-
sumption at the age Of forty-six years.
The deceased came to Morris about
fifteen years ago, the first eight years
being employed on the Great North
ern. Owing to i'll health he was forced
to seek lighter employment, and five
years ago commenced tending bar for
J. j. McCanney, which position he
held up to the time he was taken to
his bed. He was always a faithful,
honest and straight forward citizen
and highly respected by his large
circle of acquaintance. He had
no relatives here, they being residents
Of Allegheny county, Maryland. The
funeral occurred from the Assumption
church at 2 p. m. Sunday.

MARY EMMA WARE.

The angel of death visited our city
last week and left cloud in our
midst with a lasting linger in the
memories of many tried and true
friends.
The first of deaths victims being
Miss Mary Emma Ware, who breathed
her last in this world of trouble and
care at 3:45 last Thursday morning,
and passed peacefully into the yelled

her demise was thirty nine years of
age. She was for several years teach
er in our public schools, and resigned
year ago this spring on account of
i'll health and almost Immediately
took to bed with consumption. She
was devout christian and ardent
church worker, and almost her entire
life was spent in that direction. In
her last moments she was surrounded
by relatives and friends, except her
father who was himself lying at death S
door awaiting his Masters call, and
who survived her only two days. At
the time of her death her parents and
two brothers survive her,

Renenyi.

|. The great and only Remenyi gave
one of his grand concerts at the Nor
ris opera house last Saturday evening
before large and appreciative audi
ence. Mr.. Remenyi is whole show
in himself. Although there is no
disputing the fact that he has seen
his best days as a violinist, yet he is
still deserving of unlimited praise. He
is also well supported Miss Stein,
the soprano, has magnificent voice
and received hearty encores. la fact
the whole troupe was fine, each part
being very artlsticaily rendered. Mr..
Remenyi is getting we'll along in
years and it is expected this will be
his last tour through the West The
fad of removing the theatre hat is not
taken to very eagerly by Morris ladies,
apparently, as there were only four
ladies who donned their hats as they
entered the hall.

The new organ at the Congrega.
tional church deserves more than a
passing notice not only because of Its
virtues in merit and the fact that it is
the first and only instrument of the
kind in this vicinity, but especial y
because the building of pipe organs IS
a comparatively new industry in the
state of Minnesota, the business until
recently having been monopolized by
eastern factories. Those who have

seen and heard the new instrument
need no other assurance that there is
no longer need to depend upon the
East for first class work in this line,
Or that good instrument can be pro-
duced here at a moderate price The
Century Piano Co., Of Minneapolis,
furnished this organ without almost
no margin of profit to demonstrate
this fact Much credit is due MIR.
j. D. Austin, the builder, who has
spared no pains to do a good Jon
and the results show him to be
master of his profession. Mr.. Austin
personally superintendent the setting
up of the organ and won friends by
his manifested courtesey in answer
ing many questions of ignorance and
curiosity. From him we obtained
much information as to the organ
building and the principle construc-
ton. Those purposing to purchase
church organs will do well to consult
him, and those who can will be we'll
repaid by examining this instrument.
The organ though practically com
pleted will not be publicly played
until the recital May LIST, when Prof.
Sobey will give demonstration of It's
quality.

A Fine Edifice.

The Methodist people have been
contemplating for some time past the
building of new church in this city,
and of late the matter has been more
seriously talked Of They have felt
the need Of a new and especially a
much larger building for some time
owing to the rapidly increasing at
tendance, the present one being too
small to accommodate even the Sun
day school. So the society appointed
committee to investigate the cost of
different structures in adjoining towns
and also to get some plans and speci-
fcations. The committee have not
been idle as future developments will
show. They have several modern de-
signs on hand and it is practically de-
cided to erect building to cost in
the neighborhood of $1,000, and it is
now almost an absolute certainty that
before fall this city will have one of
the finest church buildings of any
town its size in the Northwest. Work
on the building will be commenced
about the first of June. If there is
one thing that city or village prides
itself in it is its magnificent public
buildings. Every business man
should give his hearty cooperation
and financial aid in all such worthy
undertakings, and especially so where
such improvements are All absolute
necessity. This work is for just
and worthy cause, and should be ably
supported by our town people. Help
the society to erect u building that
the city can be proud of.
