DEATH TO THE TRAITOR.

At last the ag-desecrating, constitu-
tion-rending pie counter patriots have
made out a case of treason against Sen
ator Pettigrew. The South Dakota
statesman has been under suspicion for
some time, and administration sleuths
have Swallowed him constantly for over
a year.
He was suspected of having sent
Aguinaldo a copy Of the Salt Lake
Tribune. in which the insurgent chief
tain was hailed as another Washington
and his cause upheld as Infinitely
higher than that in which our revolu-
tionary forefathers were engaged be-
tween 1775 and 1888" And this. says
Major Grant, caused the war
He was likewise suspected of mail
ing copy of the Declaration of indie
pendence TO the Tagals; and it has
been whispered around in official circles
that he sent them the presidents mes
sage Of December. 1888. a document
which General Otis was very particular
TO keep from them, knowing it would
provoke an uprising
The Dakotan declared some time ago
that it was the intention of the admin
istration to reward the trustfulness of
the Porto Ricans by treating them as
colorists, instead Of members of the
Union. This was a treasonable offense,
according to Senator Lodge and the
New York Press, and should have been
punished on the yard arm of the ship
of state. But Pettigrew escaped for
the time being, only TO be arraigned
now by the Logan Nation as follows:
II Senator Pettigrew uzed the language
quoted by Cuban papers, during his recent
visit to the island he should be tried for

GROWTH OF CITIES.

(From Modern City ROadways," by Mel
son p. Lewis, in ApDletOns' Popu-
lar Science Monthly for March.)
One of the conspicuous results of cheap
ened transportation and the facility with
which the products of field. forest, mine
and factory can be transferred to the
consumer has been the rapid increase in
population of all our cities. In 1899 over
A per cent of the population of New York
state (nearly 6.000.000) was concentrated
in four cities. while it is estimated that
the greater city of New York contains at
present not less and probably more than
30 per cent of the states population. Nor
is this tendency characteristic only of
American cities. though the general i'm
preston seems to be that it is more con-
spicuous with US. In fact, many Euro
pean cities NOTABLY those Of Germany
have Outstripped ours in growth. In 1916
Berlin had about 10000 less people than
New York: in 1890 il had over 1900 more.
In 1873 Hamburg exceeded Boston in pop
ulation by but 5000. while in 1890 the Ger
man city was more than l2l.000 ahead.
Meanwhile the rural population the
world over has increased very slowly, or
has positively decreased. The massing
together of large numbers of people
without proper regard 10 sanitary con-
ditiOns has already resulted in great
mortality, as witness the terrible plaques
which have swept over the old cities of
Europe and the disastrous results during
the summer of 1898 of concentrating large
numbers Of our volunteers in camps not
subjected to rigid sanitary regulations.

CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT

There seems to be little doubt that
the supreme court viii declare the
Porto Rican tariff bill unconstitutional
when he matter is carried before il
for judicial determination The gen
eral impression is that the bill was
passed to relieve the administration OF
the responsibility of its colonial policy
until after the fall election. This raiS-
ing Of the flag over cheap labor in the
Orient was getting the syndicate pa
triots into disrepute. So an appearance
of excluding from our shores the in
habitants of our territory, Of treating
as aliens those whom we govern as
subjects. of taxing those TO whom we
refuse representation at Washington,
even as George III treated the Ameri-
can colonists, had to be set up as a
screen 70 shield the imperialists in
power from tho fury Of the labor ele-
ment in the coming campaign.
@ . 9
But the supreme court Of the United
States usually decides questions with
out reference to the political effect Of
the opinion rendered. and aims to stick
closely 10 the constitution. TO follow
the changeless principles Of right and
TO cause as little confusion among
precedents as possible
The case of Loughborough VS.. Blake
reported in Wheaton. page 81. arose
in 1920 from resistance 10 an act OF con-
gress levying a direct tax on the Dis
trict of Columbia in proportion 20 the
population The decision was rendered
by Chief Justice Marshall. 1t com
prises the essential reasoning on which
the decision that the tax was legal is
founded. 1t defines the limits of the
constitution and the government. 1t
LAYS down the proposition that no con-
ception of the American empire" can
carry its borders beyond its founda-
ton. which is the constitution, and that
the mandates OF the constitution as
applied to tariffs and impost duties are
binding Upon every foot of the terri
tory inciunad II the government Of the
United States.
CHIEF Justice Marshall said:
The eighth section of the first article
gives TO congress- the power TO lay and
collect taxes, duties, imposts and excuses
for the purposes hereinafter mentioned
This grant IS general, without limitation
as 10 place. T. consequently, extends &c
all places over which the government ex-
tends. II this could be doubted the doubt
is removed by the subsequent words
which modify the grant. These words
are but all duties, imposts and excuses

States" 1t will not be cOntended that the

century in states as far south as Vir-
ginia. The American Colonization So
ciety, organized in 1916, was composed
of southern Shareholders, along with
northern abolitiOnists. There was al
ways, even down to the civil war,
large southern white population which
neither owned nor favored slavery. The
institution was found improbable IN
the north, and gradually disappeared.
Many believed that, left to itself. it
would follow the same course in the
south when the ocean traffic in slaves
should have been suppressed. There
was disposition to regard the evil as
temporary, and TO treat it with len
iency. AS new states entered the Union
the spirit of mutual concession which
had created the constitution led to a
tacit understanding that the existing
balance" between slave and free terri
tory should be recognized and regarded.
Vermont and Kentucky, Indiana and
Mississippi came in together.
But when Missouri in 1919 asked to
be admitted, bringing slavery with her,
it was at once clear that the country
was sharply divided in respect to fur

to Increase the patronage to be dis
posed of, while it's immediate purpose
was to gain votes for Crawford. The
ofacers mentioned in the bill were also
TO be removable at pleasure" The
principle Of rotation in office" was thus
introduced into federal politics. The
evil tendency of the bill was unperceiv-
ed by most, but to Jefferson and Mad
ison and Calhoun it was clear. The
latter declared it zone of the most dan
gerous ever passed" ard destined to
work a revolution. How the new meth
DDS quickly deadened the moral eensi-
bilities and undermined the political in
tegrity Of large numbers of the people
we have since learned at bitter cost.
The Slavery Question.
When the constitution was adopted
there was no sectional division of opin-
ion respecting slavery. Every southern
member of congress voted for the ordi-
nance of 1857, which forever forbade
slavery in the Northwest Territory.
Efforts to abolish the Ubiquitous foreign
slave trade were not confined to the
north; before its final prohibition in
1905 nearly every state had passed laws
against it. Abolition societies were
found during the early years Of the

STATE PRESS COMMENT.

Weber County Times: Admiral Dewey
now declares he has not withdrawn from
the presidential race. We are sorry he
hasn't. He should not have run until
the American people were ready to honor
him with the Office which IS only a QueS-
ton of time, provided he maintains the
affection in their hearts which he now
holds.

Dewey strike the country, and how will
il strike the admiral himself? These are
the questions that the Democratic leaders
at the capital are asking themselves, since
Dewey's declaration that he is a Demo-
crat.

There are many ways in which the
government could better eXpend the
millions it is squandering in Asia on
military achievements. One Of these is
the building of storage reservoirs to
save the millions of dollars now an
nually going to waste in the form of
water. The advisability and necessity
of this, says the secretary of the ma
tional irrigation association, in a circn-
lar Just issued. should be impressed
upon the attention of congress by all
the influence and argument that can
be brought to bear now, and constantly
until something is accomplished along
this line" Nor should any senator or
representative be elected to congress
from a western state who believes in
expanding on the other side of the
ocean the money we need for the de-
velopment of our own country.

Trans MiSsissippi
congress

The Trans Mississippi congress
which is to assemble tomorrow at
Houston, Tex, is important because it
will have better opportunity to make
itself heard than usual. In the ordi-
nary year the recommendations and re-
quests Of the states of the great west
are. treated with silent respect. This
year, being presidential year, viii give
the delegates a chance to insist upon
some recognition in the national con-
ventions if the affair is properly hand
led. 1t is time to get a definite under
standing concerning the forest reserves,
the desert areas, and the intentions Of
the general government towards giving
aid in the development of the arid re-
gions. The congress should insist upon
directing the attention of the national
parties to these questions.

AMERICAN POLITICAL PARTIES.
IV.-THE ERA OF GOOD FEELING.
(Continued)
BY JESSE MACY, Ii. D.

The Tariff.
The very first congress of the United
States, which met in 1889, brought for
ward bills for the taxation of imports.
in order to create a national revenue.
The discussion which preceded the pas
sage of tariff act showed
a difference of opinion among
the legislators in respect to
the wisdom of imposing duties for the
purpose of protecting home industries,
but neither then nor till years after
was the question raised of the eonsti-
tutional right of the federal govern
ment to impose protective duties. 1t
was the universal practice of the ma
tions thus to protect their own produc-
ers. Our first tariff act, though a rev.
enue and not a protective tariff, rec
ognized the principle of protection in
its preamble. Hamilton and Jefferson

Their extension of the institution, and
especially in respect to its recognition
in the new federal territory Of the
Louisiana purchase. 1t had in the
meantime become strongly intrenched
in the cotton states, as necessary TO
the culture of that important crop, and
the planters were reaching out after
more land. Any interference with their
internal affairs they regarded IS a vio-
lation of the constitutional rights of
the states. An acrid and angry debate
took place in congress. a house amend
ment prohibiting slavery in the new
state was voted down in the senate.
The bill was lost, only to come up again
in the next congress. Much bitter feel
ing was reused by the hot discussion
which spread through many states.
Harsh charges and mutual recrimina-
tons were made. The south was over
bearing and insolent. the north was
bigoted and intolerant. 1t seemed at
the time most fortunate that a COM
promise measure, warmly supported
by the great influence of Henry Clay,
averted the serious strife which threat
ened. Maine was now ready for state
hood. She was admitted as a free
state, Missouri came in with slavery.
but the bill included a prohibition of
slavery north of the southern boundary
uteS.
The Missouri compromise postponed
for a generation the great struggle
with slavery, but wise men knew that
it was postponement only. and that
the act divided the country into oppos-
ing sections ruled by conflicting and ir-
reconcilable principles. Jefferson wrote

The lady in the new bOX-cOat
Now trippeth down the street,
She has no curve nor crooked line
She's straight from head to feet.
There is no wrinkle any place,
But prim and plain is she.
Her arms flap down SO Imply, too
And, say, it puzzles me.
Now, is she plump or is she lean?
Hath she a witching form?
Does she wear such a coat as that
For lOOkS-or to keep warm?
She's comedy, as to smiling face,
But, leave it to vote,
And every man would vote against
That hour-sack looking coat.
They do not look like other coats,
Which used TO be thought nice.

And that is in the price.
