JUSTICE BREWER. tN SPEECH AT TExARkANA A SCORES OUR COLONIAL
 SYSTEM. Opposes Tendency to Generalization and Stands for Freedom of In-
 dividual Action.

Texarkana.-The chief feature of the third and last day of the joint meting of the bar association of Ar kansas and Texas was the address of Justice David J. Brewer of the United States Supreme Court.
 The distinguished jurist was intro duced by State President Garwood of the association, who said the key stone of the arch of American liberty was the Supreme Court of the United States and who alluded to Justice Brewer as the member of the court that was closest to the people of the great West, who hold him i'll the highest confidence and esteem.
 Justice Brewer was received with applause by the great crowd, which completely filled the building. His subject was: "The Origin, Growth and Development of the American Constitution and Government He told of the unstable nature of the government under the old articles of confederation and of the many difficulties which beset the govern ment during the first years follow ing the adoption of the present con stitution owing to the two separate constructions of the instrument. Chief Justice John Marshall had first given tone and vigor to the govern ment by his famous decisions, which finally established the government upon stable and permanent basis and his successor, Chief Justice Fancy, followed along similar lines, despite claims to .he contrary Dur ing the period before the war the Supreme Court gradually established the stability and permanency of the government by it's interpretations. The war settled the chief questions between the two schools and the ar

Misdirected Energy.

Frances girl of 13, was destined by her mother to be a fine musician. While still little child she was taught to read the notes, and her tiny fingers were placed on the key board. Year in and year out the child was obliged to practice, and she acquired a measured amount of skill. but her playing was wooden and spiritless. In despair, her moth CT said to her: What do you .ex-. pect to be when you are grown up?"
 The girl sighed. When am grown up, mother, if I have a house of my own, the first thing I shall do will be to order the piano chopped up for kndling wood. I want to be a doctor"
 As time passed musical studies were dropped, and duly Frances went to the medical college. At last she was allowed liberty to grow in her own proper direction. She is suc- cessful physician, treating nervous disorders with rare sympathy and un- derstanding.-W Home Com panion.

was thrust at Congress from all direc- tions and on so many subjects that it was rendered impossible for the representatives of the people to ac- complish any legislation. Everything had to be done through committees, and the committees practically did whatever legi .ation vas placed on the statute books. In a measure the security of government of the peo- pie, for the people and by the people was seriously threatened
 Proceed in Constitutional Way.
 There are new conditions of social and business life, new to what pre- vailed at the time of the adoption of the constitution, and there might be changes needed in the organic law to meet such new conditions, but if so," said the speaker, with emphasis and burning sincerity in his tones, let them be made in the manner pro- vided and prescribed by the consti- tuition. 1 believe this nation, as a nation, possesses as great powers as any other nation, and all these DOW CTS come from the people; but if more power is needed let it be secured in constitutional way. It would be a sad day for this country whenever the Supreme Court might undertake to make changes in the laws in any other way than that prescribed by the constitution"

OUTDOOR LIFE Will Not Offset the III Effects of Coffee When One Cannot Digest It.

 Tt was not from liquor or tobacco that for ten years or more I suffered they were caused by the use of coffee until l got so bad I had to give up coffee entirely and almost give up eat ing. There were times when I could eat only boiled milk and bread and when l went to the field to work I had to take some bread and butter along to give me strength.
 "I doctored with doctors and took almost everything I could get for my stomach in the way of medicine, but if got any better it only lasted a lit- tie while until was almost walking skeleton.
 "One day I read an ad for Postum and told my wife I would try it, and as to the following facts I will make affidavit before any judge:
 q quit coffee entirely and used Postum in it's place. I have regained my health entirely and can eat any thing that is cooked to eat I have increased in weight until now I weigh more than 1 ever did; I have not taken any medicine for my stomach since I began using Postum Why, I believe Postum will almost digest an iron wedge.
 My family would stick to coffee at first, but they saw the effects it had on me, and when they were feeling bad they began to use Postum, one at a time, until now we all use Postum." Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

BAD COMPILATIONS
0epraved Blood Causes Pimples and BoiIs-Or. Williams Pink Pills Make New Blood and
 Cure EolloMs

"I abused my stomach, my blood got ont of order and then my face broke out with pimples and boils, says T. k. Rob- ertson, of l97 Addison street, Washing ton, Pa. "This was over two years ago. My stomach was in bad shape. After eating l would have to rest awhile or would suffer the most severe pains in my stomach. On arising would often be so dizzy that 1 could hardly stand up. The slightest exertien would start my back aching so that 1 often had to sit down and rest awhile. At times I ex- perienced a pain around the heart which alarmed me but which l suppose came from my stomach trouble.
 II began to break out on the face with pimples and later with boils which con- fined me to the house a week or more at time. One day 1 saw Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People advertised i'll pamphlet which was left at the door and I thought I would give them trial. I took several boxes of the pills before all tho pimples and boils left me, but am now glad to say that my blood is good. I do not have any eruptions and I no longer have the head and stomach troubles 1 have described. 1 am very grateful for what Dr. Williams Pink Pills have done for me and l have recom- mended them and always will advise those who are suffering from bad blood or stomach trouble to try them.o
 If you want good health you must have good blood. Bad blood is the root of most common diseases like an9mia, rheuma- tism, sciatica, neuralgia, St. Vitus dance, nervousness, indigestion, debility, par tial paralysis and locomotor ataxia.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50c per box, six boxes for 8 50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, NY.

bitrament of the sword sustained John Marshall.
 The speaker next took up the pc riod that has elapsed since the Civil war. He instanced many things go ing to show that since the close of that great conflict the tendency had been constantly and continuously to- ward and in favor of an enlargement of national pawer and federal au- thority. With many there seemed a disposition to practically eliminate state lines and relegate states to the conditions of large counties with nearly all authority at Washington. This effort had assumed well-defined form directly after the war, but Chief Justice Chase had in the famous Texas case. again sustained the record of the Supreme Court for non partisanship and fidelity to it's sacred trust in the immediate decision V Eaich declared for autonomy of the com monwealths and that this w&s an in destructible union of indestructible states. The desire to centralize power at Washington was responsi- ble for the 18th. 14th and 18th amendments to the constitution, all Of which aimed at restriction of the powers of the states and a corre- spending enlargement of national authority. The Supreme Court had fpeen called repeatedly to pass on cases involving the autonomy, and had reserved the rights of the states as threatened in those post-bellum
The Monticellonian., 1906-07-19

amendments, but in each decision the original doctrine of John Mar shall had been fully sustained. The decisions in the Debs case. the in come tax case and others were al luded to. as showing the rights of the government under the interstate commerce clause of the constitution to control the commerce of the coun. try and keep open the public highways by force when necessary.
 Justice Brewer mentioned the tenth amendment and laid emphasis on the fact that 1t reserved to the states all rights and powers not expressly del. egated to the national authority The speaker said hat all were agreed that the national government had power to acquire territory, and also to lay down the lines of government for the same, but he did not believe that the framers of the constitution, after war of seven years to get from uH- der colonial yoke, meant to confer power on the government to secure colonies and govern them as con quered provinces and without allow ing them an equal voice in govern ment
 Constitution Should Follow Flag.
 It was clear from Justic Brewers remarks that he believed the consti- tuition should follow the flag wherever it might go. This was when there seemed general tendency to cen tralizatien along nearly all lines, and especially in matters of government. There had been and was still mad rush to Congress asking of that body that it deal with the divorce ques- tion, the question of polygamy and other kindred matters which were proper subjects for state regulation Only the federal constitution pro- yided that man, to be a United States senator, must possess certain qualifications as to age and citizen ship. but lately there was a deter mined effort to have the national government demand other qualifica- tions. Washington, during the ses- sions of Congress, the speaker de- clared, is the greatest lobby camp in the world. and the hotel business there is bonanza. Such variety and volume of proposed legislation
