by their adoption would be made
far better and the people be better
protected.
Let any one read these twelve
amendments and he will at once
realize what II poor and feeble pro-
lection to the common people was
the Federal constitution without
these amendments. Let me call
attention particularly to the tenth
amendment, and as it is read, let
me ask, what was in JeflersOn's
mind when he suggested it' Here
it is:
"Thc powers not delegated to
the United States by the constitu-
ton, nor prohibited by it to the
States, are reserved to the States
respectively, or to the people"
Read it again and again and a
gain, and you will be prepared to
appreciate the decisions of the Su-
preme Court of the United States
which are today assailed, Indirect
ly but strongly, by the Republican
managers. Those decisions show:
l. That the Federal govern
ment is one of delegated powers
alone. Its authority is defined
and limited by the constitution.
=. That these decisions mean
that Congress has no inherent
power-that all power resides in
the States or in the people thereof,
unless they have parted with it by
specifically surrendering it to the
Congress or President, or that the
surrender is necessarily implied in
the grant of some specifically nam
ed power.
What Hamilton sought to OBJ
tain in the formation of the FEEDER
at government and failed to get, is
now sought to be engrafted upon
the constitution by those who are
interested in destroying popular
government-and what is that!
Absolute powerin Congress. Ham,
ilton wanted absolute power in the
Federal government to oversee and
direct all things regardless of the
States, and he wanted all Federal
Office holders to come from the
"well -born" and well-educated
class. The common people, of
course were to be the "hcwers of
wood and drawers of water"-abont
all they were fit for. in his cstima-
ton and in that of his successor.
Hamilton didn't get what he want
ed. If he had, the present presi-
dental campaign wouldn't have a
paramount issue, or, at least, it
would have some other than impe-
rialism. Hamilton was bold and
daring and had not the elements
of a sneak or coward. His sue
cessors have for years been claim
ing this power and that power and
another power, but not until 1899
did they successfully claim that
Congress has absolute power to do
anything; that in all matters of
legislation touching the territories,
Congress is empowered to act out
side of the Federal constitution;
that none of its limitations or pro-
hibitions apply to such legislation.
More along this line next time.

"TRIFLES LIGHT AS AIR"

A sweet singer sang song,
III wasn't So very long,
II sang Of hope in sorrow,
And Of a joyful morrow;
Behold. the world seemed brighter.
And 10! my heart grew lighter.
Once. when sorrows voice | heard,
My soul to its depths was stirred,
A friend came with loving smile
And shared my burden the while,
Drew the poison from the wound.
With words Of tendercst sound.
Hast thou strolled with wcaried feet.
Aimlessly thru crowded street?
How like a ray Of sunlight,
As IL makes the darkness bright,
To catch u merry greeting
From friends by chance you're meeting.
A smile. word. or u song.
To give as we pass along
The busy highway of life.
To those VIZ meet IN the strife.
Trillcs, they seem, light as air
Their worth is beyond compare.

Guarding the Trans-siberian Railroad.

Guarding the Trnns-siperihh Hhurohu'
The Trans-Siberian railroad is very
closely guarded, the management feel
ing personally responsible for the peo-
pie they carry on their trains. The
road is divided into sections of one
verst, or five-eighths of a mile. In a
neat little log house, usually in a gar
den, live the guard and his people.
The average family is a wife and five
ow-headed children. The houses were
built by the company and evidently
with a view to meeting the demands
Of increasing families. The guard or a
member of his family must patrol his
section night and day. He steps to the
side of the track as the train APP
proaches and after 1t has passed steps
back into the middle of the track.
holds small green flag In the air. at
night a lantern. and stands like a
statue until the train has entered the
next section. Several guards do duty
in the heavy curves and frequently
they are only few hundred feet apart.
Much of the track patroling is done by
women, who have proved fully as re-
liable as the men. The women are
nearly always barefooted. and as they
stand on the track holding the flag
aloft, a Siberian breeze toying with
their short skirts, they are fine sub
jects for a sculptor after unique
model.

1t Took Courage.

How humanity is lacking in
courage at times. In particular
does courage fail the statesman. 1t
failed John j. ingalls,, it failed
John Sherman and it has failed
others. Some of these turned a.
gainst the great common people
forever, led away by the ambition
for place. But here is one who
yields to the pleadings of that
still small voice" in time. Web
ster Davis makes this good confes-
sion:

Boer plank only. | stand on ev-

form. In an interview in the st.

THE Democratic National Cam
paign Committee is meeting the eff
forts of the Republicans to befog
the Porto Rican question by circu-
lating the proclamation issued by
Gen. Miles when he took posses
sion of the Island, in which he told
the Porto Ricans that the L. S.
forces had "come bearing the ban.
ner of freedom" and to "bestow
upon you the immunities and bles-
sings of the liberal institutions of
our government" How well the
Republican administration and
Congress kept the promises of
Gen. Miles was shown by the tele-
graphic news of last week, stating
that delegation of several hun
dred starving natives from the in
terror had visited the Governor
begging for bread or work. The
Porto Rican chapter is disgraceful
and the people of this country
should not he allowed to forget it.

REV. A. MCALLEN, of West
Hartford, an enthusiastic Wood
man, was noted guest at the
Modern Woodmen picnic in Mexi-
go last week. TO Rev. McAllen is
due much of the credit for Mexico
getting the State Camp meeting
next winter. McAllen placed Mex
leo in nomination against st. Jo-
seph and other cities, and stayed
with her till she had won. Rev.
McAllen now has another ambi-
ton; he wants to see his close
friend, DR.. l.. ii. Tut, of Hanni-
bal, the next Head Physician of
Missouri. The Hannibal camp
heartily endorses DR.. Tut for this
place and many other camps over
the State have done likewise. As
one good turn deserves another,
Audrain Woodmcn will certainly
not forget Rev. McAllen and his
candidate.
