New York, June 15.-overcome by his
emotions AT the thought OF returning TO
his native France, Paul Lewis Aubert,
arrived in New York yesterday from
San Francisco in a condition of aphasia.
His case is the most remarkable that

physicians at Bellevue Hospital where
ne was taken from the Grand Central
station. Although they are puz,zled i,1 t py

Aubert knows his own name. and in

trouble, but his life for the last fifty
years is, 10 him. complete blank. HIS
mind has gone back TO the days when

Of that time he speaks as though they
were just passed into history. His first
question hast night. after a degree OF
Consciousness had returned 10 him, was
as TO whether Louis Philippe had been
restored to his throne.
A SAN FRANCISCO JEwELER.
Paul Aubert, according to papers
found in his pockets. is about sixty-five
years old. He lives at No. 1874 OFar-
reil street San Francisco. in which city
he is in the jewelry business.
he Is supposed 10 be a man OF wealth
though more of his history will be
known after the California authorities
have been heard from.
He came TO America when a lad OF Il
years, and has lived here ever since.
Letters found in his possession show
that for long time he has been plan

his intention TO see the exposition in
Paris and then spend few weeks

ADMIRAL DEWEY WILL NOT
ACCEPT SECOND PLACE.

But" II was suggested. many Dem

cussing the desirability OF placing you
on the ticket with Mr.. Bryan"
II have never contemplated being a
candidate for president" replied
the admiral in his usual frank manner
Il am not a candidate for nomination
for that office and would not accept the
nomination II offered. My position is
unchanged, j stand now where I have
stood for the past three months"
II will thus be seen that the admiral
had no second string 10 his bow when
he made the announcement that he
would be a candidate for the presidency
IL the people OF the country wished him
TO be.
The above statement was submitted
TO and approved by the admiral.

Edmund :. Ricketts,. conductor of the

after leaving Chicago that Aubert was

He was taken TO Bellevue by Police

We're inclined TO believe that Aubert

nothing but unintelligible exclama-

At Bellevue hospital the physicians

bring him around TO mental health. and
he will gradually recover his knowl-

HOW TO GET OVER TT.

1.-The plain obvious and undeniable fact
is that the general government Of the
United States, created by the conStltu-
ton, and possessing no vitality or power
not directly drawn from that instrument,
can only exist and legislate where that
constitution is in force; and that every
tract of territory that comes under the
sovereignty of the United States comes
necessarily under that constitution,
which alone gives life to that sovereignty.
and beyond which that sovereignty must
cease
THAT the words United States, as d
general description of the country, sub
ject TO the general government, created
by the constitution, includes not only the
states of the Union, but the District Of
Columbia, and all the territories, and
consequently extends to all places over
which the general government extends
and that the constitution is equally eX-
tensive, was held, in 1926, by Chief Jus
tice Marshall, in Loughborough vs. Blake,

never since been questioned by any

extended knowledge of constitutional law
to enable one to recognize its RE Or
| applicability. 1t has the sanction ard au-
thority of Chief Justice Marshall behind
it, as the respected jurlst who uses it
makes plain.
1t has never been explained by the
learned imperialist Ell ors Of this or any
other bailiwick how the general govern
ment can claim 10 exercise jurisdiction at
any place or under any circumstances Ia
which the constitution is not operative,
since the general government itself c1n-
not and does not exist save by virtue and
under the operation Of this same CON
stitution 1t has not occurred to our ed
itorial brethren, evidently. to bestow any
thought on such a fundamental proposi-
ton. The range OF their constitutional
and legal vision has hitherto been far too
extended to have gotten down to any such
plain, common-sense phase of this bother

But it is, in the language of the day.

should not be in any form which admits
of manipulation by the politicians. The
expression of the popular choice should
begin at the primaries. A referendum
vote would accomplish more in the direc-
tion of determining the popular choice
among senatorial candidates than in any
other way. With the primary election
appealed to the fault would be the peo-
pies own did they not make plain be-
yond all question who represented their
choice for seat in the senate when
vacancy existed.
Every Democratic state convention in
the country between now and next win
ter should clearly express the popular
right in this regard. Such a plank prob
ably will be embodied in the national
platform The trust influence dominating
the Republican party will endeavor to
defeat any such undertaking; but If the
Democracy of every state and of the en-
tire country represented in conventions
declare in favor of the measure. it is rea-
sonably certain that the next congress
will report constitutional amendment

somE SIGNS OF PROGRESS

There is no proposition at present he
fore the American people or any measure
of government which concerns their mar
ticipation in national affairs which has
received such universal commentator
as the proposal for the election of United
States senators by the popular vote 1t
would be hard to determine how It has
happened that no concerted movement
has ever been inaugurated which world
brins the existing antiquated and m
representative constitutional provisions on
this score to an end. They bear the
stamp Of hostility to popular sovereignty.
While they are ostensibly designed in Or
der 70 express the participation of the
state as an entirety in the conduct Of
the affairs of the general government
, they have always operated to exclude the
people OF the several states from all act
ual participation in the selection of the
members of the federal senate.
There is no substantial theory relating.
to the bearing upon the relative rights
and powers Of the state and federal gov
ernments in our constitutional system
which IS expressed or represented by the
existing scheme. From the outset if has
operated so as to make the choice of
United states senators a mere expression
of the spoils system in politics. While
the abiest Of our public men have in the
past been ambitious of being chosen as
senators. and while such men have in
most cases sooner or later found their
way TO senatorial chairs, there have also
been chosen to the exalted position a
number of small politicians who. had
they been called on to appeal to the .pop-
ular suffrage for election, would never
have found their way to any such high
plane in public life.
In recent times, as all the world knows
more scandal and disrepute have come
to our political system through the Sc
lection Of senators by the state Iegisla-
lures than through any other instru-
mentality OF government The recent
election of Clark, of Montana, and the
seiecIloh OF quay. of pennsylvania, have
brought the subject up in very decisive
form before the bar of public opinion.
This is evidenced by the recent action of
the Democratic state convention of Iowa
which. within a few days, has declared
unequivocally in favor of the selection of
United States senator's by the popular
vote. So. also, in the state of Tennessee.
In the latter state there is a great move
ment under way to have the state conven-
lions authorize a senatorial primary by
which tie people can show their prefer
ences for the guidance of the legislature
in the selection of a successor TO Senator
Turley. whose term is about to expire
