IS IT CONSTITUTIONAL!

J. Adam Bede, the humorist who is
filling a seat in the lower branch of
congress and occasionally entertain
ing the house and the country at large
with some splendid sallies of wit, does
| not seem to be at home on constitution
al matters
At DesMoines few days ago he is
quoted as saying:
We have no more right to go into
Chicago packing house." said he "and
tell its managers how to run its bust
ness Than we have to waltz into the
kitchen OF a DesMoines woman and
tell her how to boil her cabbage. The
packers want the inspection, however,
and so, don't suppose the constitu-
tionali'y of the law will be questioned.
The people are getting so that if they
have pain in their insides they rul,
to congress for medicine"
1t certainly is true that congress has
no power to regulate the sale of foods
when they do not become matters of
interstate commerce. The individual
states can do that just as they can
regulate the sale of impure or adulter-
ated foods within their borders. But
when an article becomes an object of
interstate commerce, the constitution
certainly gives congress the power to
regulate the same.
Congressman Bede, like many 9TH
ers, does not seem to distinguish be-
tween the acts of an individual which
concerns only himself and those of
either an individual or corporation
which concerns the public.
No law could be enacted that would
prevent man from eating putrid
meats if he chose to do so. But it
needs no argument to prove that such
meats could not be sold to the public
as pure, or even with correct des-
cription of their condition.

~ Message From Mars

"A Message From Mars" in which
David Proctor is starring having as
his associate players large number
OF those who were members of the Or
lginal New York and London COM
panies will fill an engagement here at
the Metropolitan.
rev plays in recent years have made
a better impression upon theater-go-
ers than has Message From Mars"
II play has the merit to remain in
any one city any particular length OF
time 1t must be reasoned that is is the
KIND OF merit that theatergoers ap-
prove. This can be said in favor of a
Message From Mars" While it comes
here for the first time it has long rec
ord OF successes behind it, The play
was originally brought out in London,
and there it remained on view for three
years. 1t was next presented to Am
erican theatergoers at the Garrick
Theater in New York, where it was
prayed nightly for two consecutive
years. All the other large cities of
the East were of course visited and ev-
erywhere it has been seen, the same
high approval as that accorded in Lon
don and New York has been given it.

presented here with the same scenic
appliances and complete stage vesture
that was used in both the London and
New York productions. 1t is Mr.. Proc
tors desire to present the play here
with every care for detail, and artis-
tic excellence that was given to it in
the large eastern cities. From what
is said OF the play. it not only pleases,
but it amuses and instructs. 1t is re-
puted to be high class comedy from
a polished and capable writer. The au-
thor OF the play is Richard Ganthony,
an American. He has contributed
much to the literature of the stage,
and he himself has frequently said,
that Message From Mars" is by far
the best comedy that he has ever writ
ten. 1t requires the services, of al
most twenty-five players to present the
play, and Mr.. Proctors associates
have been selected with their fitness
for their respective parts Among
the principal players are Cyril Young,
Wallace Widdicombe, Seymour STRAIT
, ton, Frederick Roland, Sydney Mans
field. Henry J. Hadfield, Anita Rothe,
Grace Chester, Mary Sylvester, Kath-
crime Cameron Kate de Beker and Eliz-
abeth Valentine.

LIBERTY PRESERVED.

tomorrow will mark another mile
stone in our national history. For one
hundred and thirty years the immortal
document which was promulgated to
the world on that July morning in the
quaint old city of PHILADELPHIA has
"eeh the guiding star Of liberty to the
world, and the names which were
subscribed to that instrument have

The work of creating nation out
of a few sparsely settled and divided
colonies was not completed when the
representatives of these colonies flung
defiance in the face of King George
and declared that these colonies are
and of right ought to be free and in
dependent. In fact it was yet neces-
sary for that principle to be establish
ed by conflict at arms. And on
dozen battlefelds the conflict hung in
the balance.
And even when the armies of the
former mistress of the world had been
humbled in the dust, there yet remain

fus case is going on with no excite
ment and very little interest Two
thirds of the space open to the pub
lie is vacant" says one report. This
new review by the court of cessation
is merely for the purpose of finding ont
what justice requires to be done in the
matter of the Rennes verdict. The
Rennes verdict was an absurtlity from
The first. 1t found Dreyfus guilty of
holding reasonable relations with
foreign power, and then the members
of the court appealed to President Lou
bet for clemency. The Rennes trial
came about through the first examin-
alton of the case by the court OF cas-
sation but the verdict left Captain
Dreyfus Just where he was under the
verdict OF 1895 except that physically
he WAS no longer prisoner on DEVILS
Island. The French council of minis
tiers decided, in response to the appeal
for clemency. to pardon Dreyfus lin
principle. and thereupon the unhappy
man WAS released from the Prison at
Rennes. That was in September. 1899
When Dreyfns was released he made Il
statement to the public in which he
said: The government of the Repub-
lie has given NE my liberty. But liber-

The quiet of tine present in regard to
Dreyfus, as compared with the passion
and noise of the past, shows how in
considerable a part Dreyfus's personal
ity really played in those tempestuous

along, and was thought by the oppon-

STORIES OF THE HOUR

The story is told in Boston of a

choice OF stenogranher. Most of
them preferred a woman, but one OBJ
jected.
Now, why don't you want one?"
asked Judge S. You know they are
generally more to be depended on
than men,"
That may be all So replied Judge
b.; but you know that in our cases
we often have to be here very late.
There are always watclmen and other
guards in the corridors. Do you
think it would be prudent to have a
woman staying with any OF the judges
as late as might be necessary for a
stenosrapher?"

that you saw the prisoner in your

About O'clock" said the witness.
Was there a light in the room at

No; the room was quite dark"
Could you see your husband at

NO, SIR

you will kindly explain to this intel

see the prisoner and yet could not see
your husband?"
Because my husband was at his
club quietly responded the lady
