A WISE PRESIDENT.

The many attacks on the Spaniards
in the city OF Havana, by the Cubans,
show again the wisdom Of President
Mckinley in refusing to adopt in the
beginning, the Senate's plan OF recog-
nizing the Cuban government. Had he
yielded. that government would now
permit the Cubans to take revenge on
the Spaniards, as individuals are now
doing. The Presidents wisdom, aided
by General Lees large knowledge OF
the situation, prevented the making OF
a serious mistake.
The professional shouters for the
Flag believed that the President was
not true American. at the time, be-
cause the people favored recognition
OF the Cuban government. The Presi'
dent, however, had better knowledge
OF the situation, and events have JUS
titled his position.

The expansionists take the ground
that Congress can do about as it

A CONSTITUTIONAL SHELL.

There is analogy between crabs and
their shells and nations and their
constitutions. The shell of the crab is
hard and infeXible. But the crab
grows, and when its flesh Is SO large
that the shell cannot hold 1t. the fine
and imperceptible seams around the
under edges of the shell begin to open,
and they continue to open until the
crab draws his pulpy body, and soft
claws out of the shell and hides for
several days until new, larger and
hard shell has formed about the soft
body and claws. This curious process
of nature is repeated so long as tho
crab grows.
The British government, owing to
many causes, has an elastic constitution
like the skin OF an animal that en-
larges with its growth. As the nation
grows the constitution readily grows
with It. The American constitution,
owing also TO many and good reasons
is, on the other hand, like the shell
OF a crab,-.hard and apparently inflex-
ible. But ii has some fine seams in 1t,
like the seams in the body OF the crab
that open under great pressure. and
allow the nation to enlarge itself. The
Founders did not intend to allow any
seams to exist, excepting only one
which they called Constitutional Am
endments," that turn out to be useful
in some ways. but impracticable in
other ways.
They did, however, almost uncon-
sciously provide seam, by giving the
Supreme Court the power TO interpret
the constitution and the laws. This
power Is vast and indefinite. 1t can
open the constitution as the crab opens
it's shell, and SO permit the lawful
growth of the nation along the lines
OF Expansion.
For instance. The Constitution per-
mits Congress to coin money" but
grants no authority TO issue paper
money. The Founders knew too well
the evils OF paper money.
The gigantic Civil War could not
be carried on upon a specie basis, in
the opinion OF Congress. Paper money
was therefore issue. and by law made
the equivalent OF coin. After the close
Of the war, there were $500, 900 ,O0C
OF this paper money outstanding, and
the Supreme Court was required to de.
termine whether or not the issue Of
this paper money was constitutional
II it was not constitutional, and the
money was worthless, national bank
ruptcy would have followed at once
That result was plain enough. The
letter OF the Constitution limited thu

But there are signs of better days.
The value and force OF the University
extension is largely due to the dude

OF the educated women. the women

men that do not wear shoulder straps,
and do not tell stories of blood and
iron, slowly thins out the dude class.
These are the women who will be the
mothers of men of deeds and not OF
