BATTLE CREEK, Mich. Aug. "a
Fo rthe first time in the history of this
town the annual picnic Of the Grocers
and Butchers association is held right
here instead of at some resort out Of
town. This is the first tangible result
of the Inauguration of policy of pro-
tecting home industries, which was
agreed upon by the merchants and cit
izens of Battle Creek at a recent meet
ing. The citizens are determined to
buy all they need from the local mer-
chants instead of sending mail orders
to Chicago and other cities. 1t is ex-
pected that the example of the citizens
of Battle Creek will find imitators in
many other smaller towns in this state.

rifle range this morning. 1t is the
third tournament of it's kind ever held
in this country under the laws of con-
gress authorizing these competitions
in craftsmanship and providing for the
requisite funds for holding them. How
much the interest in these annual
tournaments has increased is appar-
ent from the fact that only fifteen
teams competed in the tournament in
the fall of 1898, four of them being
from the army and navy. Ohio and
Michigan were the only states which
sent complete teams. At the tourna-
ment in 1904, which was held in Fort
Riley, Kas., nineteen teams took part,
while this year forty-three teams, rep
resenting nearly every state in the
union, Hawaii and the District of Co.
teams from the United States infantry
and cavalry, the navy, the marine SER
vice and the academies at West Point
and Annapolis

gress has appropriated $4,000 to defray
the expenses of the tournament and

arrive here last week and found every
thing ready for their reception. A city
of tents had been erected back of the
range Which will give ample accomo-

here and those who will arrive here
during today and tomorrow. Governor

MAKE REDUCED PARTY RATES.
Western and Transcontinental Lines
 Announce Concessions.

New York, Jan. 15-Half rates will be given by western and transcOntin- entaI roads to men going west to work on government irrigation projects, if they travel together in parties of five or more. The same concession has been agreed upon for the inauguration ceremonies at Washington for parties of ten or more, tickets to be good for ten days, Party rates originally were made by these roads only to "compa- nies for public amusement for hire" Central Passenger association lines de- clined to adopt the rule in this form on the ground that it was discrhnina- tion prohibited by the interstate law. As a result they carried military troops at one-third the regular rate, while western roads charged full fare.
 It is proposed now to limit party rates to theatrical and athletic com bination on Central association lines, and action is expected to be taken at the meeting in Chicago covering this phase of the question. and upon a re- quest to concur in the reduction of western roads for parties of ten or more.

A Triumph of Peace.

territory one third larger than all New England has just changed hands in South America under treaty be- tween two nations.
 A territory larger than New England and the middle states combined is about to be awarded as the result of peaceful arbitration.
 This is the Acre or Aquiry dispute. involving Brazil, Peru and Bolivia.
 When Spain and Portugal claimed to divide pretty much all the world ex- cept Europe between them in 1493. boundaries were left rather vague When in 175O these countries made a treaty as to their South American boundaries, the limits in the unex- plored forests were still left vague enough.
 In general, they adopted the "uti possidetis" maxim-the rule of hold what you occupy''-and this was gen. orally reafffrmed a century later be- tween Brazil and other countries which had inherited the vague Span
 
 When a few years ago the richness of the Aquiry region became known and settlers poured in, there was bound to be a dispute as to it's ownership.
 But instead of going to war over the country, Brazil and Bolivia signed a treaty on November r, 1908, which is thus summarized by Professor John Bassett Moore:
 Bolivia comedies to Brazil the whole of the basin of the Aquiry, embracing 191.OOO square kilometres (about 9O,O0O square miles). part of which was ad- mitted to belong to Bolivia under the treaty of 1867, and receives in return. besides an area of 2.2s6 square kilo- metres between the Madeira and Abu- nan rivers, inhabited by Bolivians, and certain tracts of land on the Paraguay. the sum of $1O,OOO,OO0 which Bolivia accepts with the intention of using the same mainly in the construction of railways or other works tending 10 i'm prove the communications and develop commerce between the two countries
 Brazil, in addition to the other compensation to Bolivia, agrees to build a railway and to grant to Bolivia the same privileges and rates as she shall herself enjoy in the use of the line. The gain says Col onel Church, which Bolivia will reap from the construction of the Madeira and Mamore railway alone is worth all of her territorial sacrifices"
 A pretty sensible way to settle a boundary dispute. Peru, which also claimed the Aquiry region and a great tract to the north besides. has con sented to negotiate with Brazil con corning her claim through the friendly offices of an arbitrator if a treaty can not directly be reached.
 Thus a threatened three-cornered war seems likely to be averted.

LEADER GOT s9, GOO
West Side Tammary Man involved in
 Liquor Evidence.

Albany. Jan. 15.-It is entirely possi- bIe that in some fashion the grand jury presentment regarding the use of the corruption fu-d in the interests Of liquor legislation at the last session may come into the hands of the legis- ture tomorrow, although not from the hands of Governor Higgins. He said today that he had begun to read var ious points in the presentment, but had not studied the evidence yet. It was strongly intimated in the communica- ton sent him that other copies would be sent to the lieutenant governor and speaker, the presiding officers of the two legislative bodies, and therefore it may be unnecessary for him to trans init his copy.

A CONSTITUTIONAL PUZZLE.

The amendment offered by Senator Dubois to the statehood bill. resery in.E to congress the right to Iegislate con- corning pOlygamy in the new states, raises an interesting question of con stitutional law. The purpose of the amendment is clear and admirable But can congress create a state which is not a complete state by reservinS 10 itself any power as a local legislature within it's limits? The theory of our government is a union of equal com monweaIths, the new states having equal powers and privileges with the old, even the original thirteen, with their antecedent sovereignty. n the territories, congress has a free hand and can act as a domestic legislature, but can it in effect amend the consd- tuition so far as new state are con | cerned by inserting in their funda- mental law grants of power t0 1t which it does not possess in dealing with other states?
 We are not disposed to answer that question ofhand. 1t is q difficult one, which has come up on more than one occasion in our history. It may per haps be said that it came up and vyas settled in the admission Of states with free or slave constitutions. Yet while congress could undoubtedly refuse to make a state whose constitution did not suit it, it's ability tn prevent modi- ffcation may be doubted. Illinois. though admitted as free state, was years after agftated by the question Of introducing slavery. The amendment was defeated by a narrow vote, but if 1 ii had been carried VIZ do not see just how the United States could have con
  to it's old law. Stipulations concern ing federal property in new states do
 not involve the question of govern mental equality. That is partly though not entirely, true of the old ar engagement by which Texas is bound to permit its own subdivision at the discretion of congress. That in no sense interferes with the nature and | balance of the federal system. The
 cOnstraint Of the law ant constitution
 making power of a state after it is
 once admitted, in other ways than those prescribed in the federal consti-
 tuition for all the states, is, however,
 quite a different matter.
 When Utah was admitted it was put under solemn obligations concerning polygamy. which, everybody knows,
 have been disregarded. What guaran- tee IS there that any stipulation Tn the nefghboring states would be more sa-
 cred? Congress seems to have no way
 of getting at recalcitrant states It
 cannot send an army to force a change
 of local law to conform to an old
 promise. The Dubois plan. if valid,
 reserves an initiative in legislation 10
 congress, but would the United States
 courts enforce such legislation within l a state against it's will or regard as
 effective any overruling under such a
 reservation of laws of one state which
 would be perfectly valid if passed by
 some other state? We do not attempt
 to decide. It is one of the fascinating
 puzzles of our highly complicated sys-
 tenn. in which logical theory and hard facts of national life frequently clash.
