MR.. HARMswonTn,s pRooF.

Saturday Evening Post.
Mr.. Alfred Harmsworth, the young
wonder worker Of English journalism,
had an experience the other day which
in measure changed one of his ideas
at least regarding the shortcomings Of
American daily newspapers, His pet
conviction, and one that he has advanced
on many occasions, was and tho past
tense is used advisedly - that the cuts
in the American daily newspapers were
worthless from an Illustrative stand
point, and outrageous from the stand
point of art.
Mr.. Harmsworth eaid so much on
this point, and said it SO sharply. that
he called in the field a number of
active champions OF the American
newspaper cut. Among others was MIR.

nature of his business, believes that he
is in q position to know more about
the merits and dement's OF the Ameri-

mistresses at that. Recently the cook

demanded a rise, and when refused inn
mediately gave notice. At the end OF the
week, however. instead of departing with
her baggage. she merely moved to one OF
the best apartments in the house, and
as there was nothing against her charac-
ter she could not be turned out. AT meal
times, the Sydney Bulletin says. she sam
pied every dish and audibly criticised

to her old room with raise TO twenty

On January 81, 1901, President Adams

is. to use the words OF the ElSi5h III
rian Freeman the only national tribunal
which can sit in Judgment on a national
law and can declare an act of all three
Of The powers of the Union TO be null
and void
Every year now, we have more new
laws than John Marshall considered dur
ing the entire thirty-four years that he
was on the Supreme Bench. We have
laws passed by Congress, laws passed by
State legislatures. laws passed by city
councils, and ell sorts of minor regula
TORS which MONT up into the tens OF
thousands during the twelve months
The variety Of these is as great as the
number. There are laws regulating dogs
and laws concerning elephants laws
about English soarrows and laws about
the great American eagle. There are
laws affecting everything from microbes

all the laws on the books to-day were
