A HOT MEASURE OF REFORM.

The liquor license bin introduced by
Delegate George A. Laughlin, of Ohio
county, is measure of reform with
the bark on. 1t is drafted on tine
model of the Brooks license law of
Pennsylvania and takes the granting
of State liquor licenses out of the
hands of county courts and boards of
commissioners and places it with the
circuit court, providing most strin-
gent penalties for the transgression of
its provisions.
The severity of the measure is SIM
ply reflex of the natural revulsion
against the intolerable, open and
shameless traffic carried on in this
city by the notorious fake hotels
which have flourished so rankly under
the fostering care of the present city
ring. The granting of licenses indis-
criminately and the refusal of Council
to correct the most glazing evils in
connection with the traffic even when
brought face to face with them has
naturally resulted in the framing of
this stringent measure.
Those whom it hits will doubtless
find means to put up stiff fight
against it, but they have only their
own inordinate and grasping greed
and utter recklessness of morals and
common decency to blame for the sit
uatiol. Since the bin chiefly affects
Wheeling it will doubtless meet with
little general opposition from the res
of the State.

SURFACE LEGIsLArIor.

The bill agreed upon by members OF
the Legislature representing an ele-
ment of the banking interests of the
State to limit State banks from loaning
any one individual, firm or corpora
ton. more than twenty per cent. OF
the banks capital stock, ought to be
entitled a bill to hamper banks from
doing legitimate business. The OBJ
ject of the sponsors of the bill, no
, doubt, is to protect the stockholders;
but how does it protect any more
than the present law? What differ
ence does it make whether the bank
loans to one person or several persons
a sum which exceeds twenty per cent.
of it's capital, so long as the security
is just as good in the one case as in
the other? The bank officers are the
judges and they are likely to exact a
safer security from the large borrow
er than the small one.
If the bin referred to becomes a law,
and the prospective borrower wants a
loan of over twenty per cent. of the
banks capital, he must "shin" around
among several banks, or his banker
must do it for him, to get necessary
funds, no matter how gilt edged the
collateral may be, thus exposing his
business and consuming valuable time
unnecessarily. There are corporations
and firms in this town which some
times borrow twice or thrice the
amount of the capital stock of some of
our banks, so large, at times, are their
business transactions. Why should
they or their bankers be put to I'M
necessary trouble to do this business?
Our legislators would do we'll to get
below the surface before undertaking
to enact law that might work much
mischief and little good.

1t IS evident that there are in the
United States more cases Of smallpox
than for many years. But for our com
fort let it be remembered that the ep!-
demic, If so it may be called. is rot
half so destructive as the tuberculosis
that We always have with us and Is
much more easily handled. Smallpox
is. in fact. not so formidable as the
grip, which has grasped the whole
country again and is epidemic in New
York City to the point where IL is
a veritable scourge. Vaccination and
modern methods OF treatment have
robbed smallpox Of the greater part
Of its danger. But this prevalence OF
smallpox emphasizes the need of
careful attention to vaccination
throughout the whole community. In
no other way can it be prevented from
gaining a foothold.

E1-Iand's Repentance.

Lordon Truth.
The country is sick of the war and
bitterly repents the shouts with which
it welcomed the commencement of hos
tilities. Bad times at home are ahead:
high taxation is ahead How long the
war may last no one knows The Yeo-
many, the Colonials and the Volun-
teers are clamoring to leave South At
RIGA; they have fought bravely, but
they loathe the task that is now set
them. Vainly the Unionists search the
sky for one spot of blue; all is dark
and gloomy overhead. What wonder,
then. that they should begin to per-
ceive that their victory at the elections
has been a barren one and has only
landed them in sea of troubles from
which they can discern no escape?

DON'T SEEM TO SCARE.


The London press has discovered
that Boer warfare has developed from
guerilla tactics into brigandage and
advises that hereafter the South At
rican republicans be officially consid-
cred outside the pale of civilized war
fare and treated when caught as ban
dts.
This discovery is similar to that of
our own administration with regard
to the Filipinos and comes after a
similar experience in which the Eng
lish government finds itself unable to
military operations. 1t remains to be
seen if the London war Office will have
similar recourse and threaten the
Beers with punishment as criminals
and murderers to be hanged without
quarter or mercy.
AS this policy has been ineffect-
ual in the Philippines to brighten the
natives into oeasing their struggle for
independence, how much greater the
probable futility of the same tactics
with the more advanced, better equip
ped and determined Dutch of South
Africa. Its adoption would be in
the nature Of a confession of failure
on the part of the regular military or
ganization, which would doubtless
promptly be recognized by the shrewd
and indomitable Beers.

neighbor falls back upon the old
stock phrase Of the 6. o. p. and de-
clares triumphantly that it is due to
the fact ''the people Of Kansas have
gone back to their old time loyalty to
the American system of giving protec-
ton to American industries!"
Although this is absolutely devoid
of meaning since there has been no
change in the tariff, lest it deceive the
unthinking, as our neighbor intends
it should, let us examine into the real
causes of the prosperity in the West
and South as they are plainly pre-
sented to us in recent government sta
tistics. Of the four leading articles of
American export--cotton, breadstuffs,
provisions and mineral oils-there
were sent out $685., 164,250 during the
year 1900. AS compared with similar
exports in 1899, petroleum increased
1924 ,033, provisions increased S4,-
437, 1889 and cotton increased no less
than s123,011, 317.
In these figures lies the secret of
the prosperity of the West and South
And what in the name of common
sense has protection to American in
dustry' to do with these exports,
which have caused a golden tide to set
from Europe toward these shores, ex-
cept to obstruct our trade relations
with abroad and hinder the flow of the
said golden tide from Europe?
To the bounty of God alone in Civ
ing us great surplus crops of cotton,
breadstuffs and the like, and in no de-
gree to tariff laws that simply shackle
the giant of American industry, are
due whatever conditions of prosperity
are to be found in the United States
to-day. These, indeed, exist not be-
cause but in spite Of McKinleyism,
Hannaism, Imperialism and Monopo-
ly.

ONLY FOURTEEN AMENDMENTS

8NCAG4s
Philadelphia Record
How many amendments to the Con-
stitution of the United States are
there? III one open copy of the Con-
stitution he finds that there are four
teen. This ought to be conclusive.
The body Of the Constitution con-
Slsts OF seven articles, all but two OF
which tthe Fifth and SEVENTH are di-
vided into sections, of which the
greater number are subdivided into
clauses. Each of the amendments is
a single undivided article, except the
last three. whereof the first in order
is divided into three sections. the Sec
ond into two sections and the third
into five. These several articles, sec
lions and clauses are all duly number
ed. Yet intelligent writer's and speak
ers are continually referring to what
they call the Fifteenth Amendment,
meaning the second section of the
Fourteenth Amendment They might
with equal propriety refer to the Six
teenth, the Seventeenth or the
Eighteenth Amendment, meaning the
third, fourth or fifth section of the
Fourteenth Amendment. By this
method of reckoning the number OK
amendments, instead of fourteen, would
be twenty. to the confusion Of the nota-
ton of the whole framework of the
Constitution
The practice. though not general, Is
observed by many who should be espe-
cially particular to honor it in the
breach. 1t might be advantageously
reformed altogether.

THE ARGUMENT OF a MASTER.


AS the New York World points out,
the brief press reports of the argu-
ment of ex-Secretary Carlisle before
the Supreme Court on the Porto Rico
case do little more than indicate the
spirit and central thought of the eff
fort of this master Of clarified state
ment. cogent reasoning and constitu-
tional law
Mr. Carlisle remembered he was not
addressing the galleries or Congress.
and disclaimed at the start any inten-
ton of discussing the policy of expan-
sion or the rights of the annexed peO-
pie.
I'VE are not concerned" he said,
about the status of the inhabitants
of Porto Rico. But we are concerned,
and we are very deeply concerned,
about the powers of Congress and the
President. 1t is not question
Porto Rico. 1t is question whether
the Constitution extends over Con-
gress and the President when they
undertake to legislate for and govern
new territory"
Mr.. Carlisle contended that any tax
on our commerce with Porto Rico
violates the Constitution, which says
no tax or duty shall be laid on any
articles exported from any State
An import" said he, "is something
coming from d foreign country. Porto
Rico cannot DE a foreign country, for
its courts send appeals to this body"
The Porto Rico duty is therefore not
an import tax but an export tax upon
goods sent cut of those States, and
there are two specific prohibitions
against such export duties"
Mr.. Carlisle denied that Congress
had unlimited power owe" territories.
saying if this were true I'VE should be
delighted that it was net discovered
for more than one hundred years, I'M
I'll we naQ country made up or free
States, free Territories and free peo-
Pile" In closing, he said:
II do not believe that we have been de-
luded all the time. | do not believe that
the trainers of the Constitution. or the
people who adopted it. made the mistake
of depositng arbitrary power over the
lives, or the liberties. or the property Of
the people anywhere within the jurisdic-
ton of the government they created, and
look forward confidently to the judg-
ment of this court to vindicate them
against that charge"
Since the tariff-bred and fairfield
monopolies that rule the Republican
organization would never agree to free
trade with Porto Rico. the Philippines
or Cuba, the whole policy of Imperial
ism and government outside the Con-
stitution" will be dealt a severe body
blow should the court sustain Mr.. Car
isles contention.
