yer, 81 have been reading Washing
toms letters, and confess that l am
surprised to learn of his liberal attl-
tude on the question of future amend
ments. Later on Adams and Jefferson
and Madison expressed similar views.
In fact | do not see how the strict
constructionists of the constitution can
refer to any of the great founders of
our republic for authority in warning
the present generation against changes
in that document l am making a
candid admission for a Jeffersonian
Democrat"
"The present attempt to amend the
constitution" said Col. Monroe, lis of
vast and far-reaching Importance. For
the first time in our history it is Sc
riously proposed to strike out and de-
stroy a clause that was vigorously
contended for which the constitution
was formed. The Senate was DELHI
erately designed by its founders to rep
resent the wealth and aristocracy of
the country. A motion in the Con-
stitutional Convention of 1857 to make
no man eligible for senatorship unless
he was worth 100000, was defeated
only by a narrow plurality. 1t was
repeatedly avowed by leading delegates
that the Senate should not represent
the people. Our school histories do
not give us the debates in that IA
nous convention. Real Democracy was
then in its infancy. Listen to a few
of the statements made by delegates
during the debate on how senators
should be chosen. My authority for
these quotations is James Madison,
whose journal is the only reliable rec
ord we have of the proceedings"
Col. Monroe consulted his memo
rapduno hook and continued: Bear in
mind that the men l am about to quote
were the leading figures in the con-
vention which drafted and signed our
present constitution. Roger Sherman,
of Connecticut, said: The people, i'm

lie is generous to a fault, brave as a
lion, gifted with a good deal of native
shrewdness. and eager to learn the
ways of the great world beyond the
borders of his own country. lie was
perpetually questioning us about Eu-
ropean ways, European institutions,
and Europeon inventions.
America, he seemed to have hardly
heard of. He regarded England as
the greatest. power in the world,
France as the second and Spain ss
the third. These are the Powers with
which he comes most in contact. He
had heard vaguely that Spain had been
beaten in war by America, but when l
described to him the thoroughness
of the defeat, he was quite surprised.
The Moors are an intensely fanati-
cal people, and they objected strongly
to the Sultan's dabbling with Euro
pean inventions, which they regarded
as neW-fangled devices of the Evil
One. This sentiment was growing
when l was in Morocco, and was one
of the things that led to the recent re-
volt.
Why the sultan Is Hunting for Fun.
His majesty is anxious to travel and
learn from Europeans how to govern
his country in just and progressive
manner. Those Europeans who know
him best, say that he has in him the
making Of great monarch, as soon as
his play time Is over. But just now he
is young man of 25, full of the Joy of
life, eager to see everything and do
everything, and anxious to make up
for the time lost while he was kept
secluded in the harem for the first six
years after his fathers death by a
Bismarckian grand vizser, since dead.
He is never happy unless he is doing
something fresh and exciting, and he
contains in his head as much devil
ment as a score of lusty American col
lege students. And to satisfy this
longing for fun Sultan Mulay Abdul
AziZ has a treasury containing mill
lions-and there is no inquisitfye
finance committee to audit accounts.

The Sultan Plays Billiards.
After we had rubbed ourselves with
embrocation and changed our tattered
clothes, the Sultan invited us to in
spect his new billiard table, which had
Just arrived from England.
We duly admired it, felt the cush-
ions, and rolled the balls about; and
then the Sultan put us in quandary
by asking: well who is going to teach
me how to play?"
AS it happened, none of us was
billiard player. 1 had handled cue
once or twice, but knew practically
nothing of the game. My friend, the
court magician, knew less. We were
wondering what the Sultan would say
about our ignorance when Sir Harry
Mclean gallantly stepped into the
breach.

he said but l haven't handled cue

Majesty had just received a large con-
signment of cycles from the principal
makers in London and Paris, and he
had made up his mind to master the
machine even if he smashed every one
in Morocco.
Now, the courtyard was more like a
dry river bed than anything else. From
end to end there were hardly ten yards
of smooth ground. Where there were
no boulders, there were deep ruts; and
where there were neither boulders nor
ruts, there were small heaps of bricks.

''This has thus far been a remark

number of logs that are being
brought down the Mississippi river,
after the continued reports that the
logs i'm the northern woods are nearly
exhausted and that the industry
would soon come to an end in the Mis-
sissippi valley. Nearly every drive so
far has been a success, and the down
river mills will get about - per cent
of the legs this year.
1t is expected the main Chippewa
drive will be made about the last of
next month. if not sooner. With that
out the seasons work ON that river
will be completed. \ large number
