Mrs. William Rolling, residing at AS
Sinner street, st. Paul, committed
suicide by hanging herself During the
absence Of her husband she made careful
preparations for the deed, and upon his
return he found her suspended from the

STOCK GAMBLING.

Men who have made millions in
them, and then resort TO bucket shops
in dime speculations, invariably agree
in holding that their failures were
largely due TO an over-confident belief
an their own smartness.
When a man is remarkably success
full i'm hitting it right" on the stock
exchange, his head begins 10 swell,
however prudent and conservative he
has been, and he gives himself credit
for sagacity and brains, when his sue
cess should be credited to good luck,
and opportunities which he did not
himself create For this reason ninety
per cent. OF those who have been very
successful stock operators, finally fail,
and end their lives in poverty.
The reasoning which satisfies this
class of men is this: Il used my brains
and made up my mind to purchase
stock. / did purchase, and | have
made a lot OF money. Now if l made
money through my own Judgment and
sagacity at one time, why should l
mot make it at another timer The
fallacy of the argument lies in eXclud-
ing from consideration the forces at
work coincidently in favor of the sue
cessful man, of which he knows little
or nothing. The things that make and
unmake values are many, and exact
knowledge of them is rarely obtain
able. The unexpected is ever Sappen-
ing.
There is a limited class of men, who
upon reaching a fair amount of success
in speculations, do not deceive them
selves, and rigidly accept the doctrine
that stock speculation is mainly gam
bling, and they refuse TO take new
risks. These are men of nerve, and
dare to recognize their own ignorance.
One of the common sights in a great
financial centre, like New York, or
Chicago is that of men who have made
sums on the exchanges, where wheat,
cotton and stocks are dealt in. They
have a prosperous look, live in fine
houses, ride in carriages, and talk with
all the confidence of successful men.
A year or two later these same men,
and they number thousands, will be
diving in cheap boarding houses, and
be borrowing small sums for margins
ON Hmited purchases.
No doubt confidence in ones self is
a strong factor in business or specu-
dative ventures. But it is a two-edged
sword if there is any truth in expert
ences. The self-made man of large
fortune is often product manufacture
ed by the hand of Chance. He is wise
if he knows this

A CONSTITUTIONAL SHE'LL.

There is analogy between crabs and
their shells and nations and their
constitutions The she'll of the crab is
hard and infiexible. But the crab
grows, and when its flesh is SO large
that the shell cannot hold it. 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 PUPPY body, and soft
claws out OF the shell, and hides for
several days until a new, larger and
alard shell has formed about the soft
body and claws. This curious process
OF mature is repeated SO long as the
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 inf1ex-
L.
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
i'm some ways, but impracticable in
other ways.
They did, however, almost uncon-
sciously provide a 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
its shell, and so permit the lawful
growth of the nation along the lines
of Expansion.
For instance. The Constitution per-
mits Congress to 'tcoin 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, 900
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

students OF this educated community
have published books or contemplate
coming out in a literary way between
covers. It's a desperate venture. The
late Harold Frederic had the mind and
the training for making book. He was
called a successful author. For his
six most popular books there was a
combined sale of less than $4,000
copies. Frederic in his later years had
an affluent salary as commissioner at
London for one of the American
dailies. He left no estate.
\ San Francisco weekly states under
its first page headline that it is De
voted TO the leading interests of Cali
fOrnia and the Pacific Coast" A few
inches below this confession of faith is
the mild suggestion that the members
Of the Board of Education there should
be Iynched. If half that is said about
these members is true, they should be
in prison, where there are bars all
around, but no liquor. However, it
does not seem TO occur to the critics
that it would be "a good plan to at least
attempt to put the law on the Board of
Education gentlemen.

letter of the Constitution limited the
power of Congress TO coin money
only. The shell was too small for the
national crab. The Supreme Court,
confronted with this vital question,
found out the seam for the opening
of the shell in its power to interpret.
1t said substantially that the nation
had the right to save itself from ruin.
So il interpreted the Constitution in
such way as 10 make paper money
as good as gold coin.
1t boldly met the necessities of the
case. The strict constitutionists on the
Bench did not agree with this opinion,
but the majority did. The Constitution
was simply enlarged by the Supreme
Court. The nation was saved from
sore distress, if not from widespread
bankruptcy. Congress could not reach
this result The Supeme Court could.
1t has, of course, a dangerous power,
but in all of its political decisions dur
ing the hundred years of it's existence,
it has thoughtfully, wisely, and con-
the best wisdom of the people. 1t has
no lingo sentiments, and the JingOes
and professional patriots are not very
fond of the Court. But the back bone
of the people, that is the national COM
mon sense, is behind this great Court.
Just as the British nation has en-
larged its unwritten constitution, the
American nation. aided by the Su-
preme Court, will enlarge the Federal
constitution What is simply written
law must give way to the final and
settled thought of the average citi-
zen.
Strict cOnstitutionists, conservatives
and Anti-Imperialists are of the high
est value in preventing a premature
opening of the seams in the constitu
tional shell, or in making experimental
openings. They feel that it is a solemn
thing to declare that ''the nation has
outgrown its constitution" They have
the right to feel some apprehension.
But they may be justly criticised for
failing to take in that broader and
wiser view that makes the inevitable
growth of the people the first consider
alton.
