Matter of Courtesy.

Some newspaper subscribers often
wonder why publisher keeps on
sending the paper when the subScrip-
ton has expired. An exchange says
the reason is this: When SubScrip-
tiOn is paid to a certain time, and the
time expires, and the paper is stopped,
it looks as if the editor doubted the
integrity of the subscriber and in
nine cases out of ten the subscriber
will give the editor calling down for
insinuating that his Credits not good.
Rather than cast any reflection
against neighbours honesty to pay d
small debt it has become customary
for country newspapers to continue
sending the paper after the time
expired. The city WeeklieS and dailieS
do not generally follow this rule as
their subscribers are at a distance,
and besides, they are not acquainted
with them and do not know their
financial standing. One should deem
it an honor to know that his credit. is
not doubted when the publisher con-
tinues TO send the paper. Should the
subscriber desire to have his paper
discontinued he should inform the
publisher and remit to date, if any
amount is owing.

FEAR TROUBLE AT DRAWING,
As 10000 Persons Want $4,000 Claims
Disorder is Possible.

Fort Sill, O. T., July %. Disorder
and disturbance, it is feared, will
follow the actual opening of the
KiOwa-COmanche reservation on Aug.
s. 1t is now estimated that fully
l5G, 600 people will have registered for
a chance to secure one of the 13. 600
claims to be awarded by lottery when
the registration booths close on July
26. Thousands Of persons now on the
reservation, who are neither mechan-
les nor artisans. and who have little
or no money, announce their intention
of locating around Lawton if they
fail to win a claim. Campers who
came in prairie schooners by the
thousands generally brought with
them provisions sufficient only to last
from five to ten days. Continued
drought has caused the water to be
restricted, and for days hot wind has
blown over the prairie and the
temperature has averaged over the 100
mark. With these conditions before
them, many are already beginning to
grumble, and when this is followed by
disappointment over failure to draw d
lucky number, the hope that bore
many up will doubtless give way to
more serious conditions.

Hunting Knife.
WauShara Argus.


d. W. Fenner, a wealthy lumber
man of PEBBLES, O., has a hunting
knife of antique workmanship, which
came into his possession in a novel
manner. While he was engaged in
saving timber at one of his Adams
county mills the saw suddenly ran
against an obstruction in d huge
thirty-foot log. On backing the log
from the saw and investigating the
cause of the trouble it was found that
the saw had run against a hunting
knife seven and One-half inches in
length, which was firmly imbedded in
the middle of the log. The point of
the knife was found to rest within
four inches of the heart of the tree
and was about five feet above the
ground. The handle of the knife,
which was of bore or deer horn, was
pointing upward at an angle of about
10 degrees in a position which showed
that it had probably been stuck in the
tree by passing hunter many years
ago. Three inches of solid oak
extended beyond the end of the handle.
Over 100 grOWths representing 100
years, were counted from the point at
which the knife first entered the tree
to it's outside edge. From the point
of the knife to the outer edge of the
tree was distance of inches, show
ing that the tree had increased its
diameter Is inches in the 100 years
that the knife had been imbedded in
it's body.
The knife was we'll preserved from
rust. 1t seems to have been made by
hand, as it lacks the finish of modern
blades

to balance the powers of their general and State
governments. He does not claim that the
United States Government is not bound by the
very conditions of its being TO republicanism
and regard for human liberty, or that the Con-
stitution is not supreme within its proper
sphere. He finds that the makers of the Con-
stitution, as shown by their writings and de-
bates, in providing for uniform imposts and
direct taxes proportioned to population, We're
concerned solely, as James Monroe put it, ito
secure Just equality among the States They
were not concerned about uniformity as prin-
ciple, as is shown by the objection of some
members of the convention to the uniform rule
on the ground that under it duties which would
bear heavily on one section might be levied by
the votes of other sections. Seeing that our
internal revenue laws would bear with crush
ing weight upon Porto Rico, and that the exten-
sion of our tariff laws TO the Philippines would
have serious administrative and diplomatic dis
advantages, the imperialist merely argues for
interpreting this provision of the constitution
in the spirit of those who drafted it. and not
extending its operation over lands for which 1t
is manifestly unsuited.
Mr. Underwood and his friends, however, do
not stop with this They assert that Congress
is at liberty to do, not extraconstitutional, but
actually unconstitutional. acts. They say ii Is
rot a sovereign body, able TO deal as eXpedlency
requires with conditions unforeseen by the Con-
stitution makers, such exist in the Philip
pines Then they turn and proclaim that it is
n sovereign body, able, for the sake of what in
the light of to-day seems expediency, TO disobey
fatty the plain mandate of the Constitution
placed in the fundamental law with clear fore
sight of the present condition and unquestion-
ably applying TO it.
If these gentlemen believe that we have
government founded such principles, and
that the Constitution is merely an advisory in
strument legacy of grandfathers' lectures, to
be disregarded in legislation concerning the
States whenever the judgment of Congress does
not approve the wisdom of its mandates they
ought TO ask the Supreme Court TO give them
hearing next week in behalf of the Porto Rican
legislation; for if they are anywhere near right
and Congress has any such discretion at home
no court would ever dream of confining within
far narrower limits its discretion in performing
duties falling 10 it in connection with far OF
