Renuhlicnn Usurpation.

The theory of our Constitution is,
that all Federal powers are delegated
powers, and must originate in grants
made by the people alone; or, in the
language of the tenth amendment of
the Constitution, that "the powers not
delegated to the United States by the
Constitution, nor prohibited by it to
the States, are reserved to the States
respectively, or to the people" But
President Roosevelt rejects this theory
and Gespises this constitutional provi-
sion. In his speech at the dedication
of the new capitol at Harrisburg, Pa,
Oct. 4, he said:
I'VE need through executive action,
through legislation and through judS
cial Interpretation and construction of
law, to increase the power of the fed
eral government"
How can the power of the federal
government be constitutionally in
creased through executive action, judi
cial Interpretation, or congressional leg
islation? The only power which the
legislative, executive or judicial depart
ments of this government possess, or
can honestly possess, must come
through the action of the people alone.
Roosevelt's declaration is entirely I'M
constitutional, and his acts in pursu-
ance of that declaration are usurpa-

THE GRANDEEs OF SPAIN.
Curious Custom of Head Covering"
When They Are EnnObled.

Curious Custom of Head Covering"
When They Are EnnObled.
The ceremony of head covering" was
recently performed by number of
Spanish peers, who thereby passed to
the rank of grandees of Spain. The
ceremony, interesting on account of its
antiquity and Its historical significa
ton, Is, like many Spanish customs, re-
markaDle for its extreme simplicity.
The peers who took part in it were
che Count of Cabra, the Count of Pla-
sencia, the Marquis of Rafal, the Mar
Quls of Malferit, the Marquis of Bena-
meji. the Count del Real, the Marquis
of Hoyos. the Marquis de la Cenia, the
Count of Bilboa. the Marquis of Yiana
and the Marquis of TOyar, who were
each attended by a grandee as their
sponsor. When they had. made three
customary reverences to the throne, the
queen regent, in the kings name, babe
them Cover your heads and speak"
The speeches which followed. Justify
ing the right of each peer to the honor
he was receiving, were for the most
part interesting excursions into the past
history of Spain. The first, which was
also the most brief, that of the Count
OF Cabra, may serve as an example:
Sonora, if nobleSse obliges me to re-
celve the honor of covering my head

have offered examples for imitation:

TO reach such heights except in admira-
ton, in my love and loyalty to my coun.

The other new grandees, SAYS the
Madrid correspondent of the London
Times, were far more precise. not to
say discurSive, in relating the histories
OF their families, and one. the Count OF
Plasencla. devoted almost the whole OF
his discourse to an ancient grievance
that Philip IL. had cut of the head OF

sbift,nr poI;t,c.I I.sue.

The Republican managers declared at
the beginning of this campaign for Con-
gress that Mr.. Roosevelt was the issue,
and some of the big guns of the party
We're sent to Maine to emphasize and
inform the Republican voters of Maine
what issue they were to vote upon. The
election was held and the greatly re
duced majority for the Republican tick
eli indicated that many of the voters
either repudiated Mr.. Roosevelt as the
issue or refused to take the advice of
the Republican leaders and voted the
tariff, the liquor question. the abolition
of bosses, as more important than the
Endorsement Of the Republican Presi-
dent. This blow between the eyes, de-
livered by the Republican voters of
Maine with telling effect, brought a
change of mind to the Republican lead
ers and now we are told that national
politics must be kept out of the New
York campaign, and the voters must
decide the election In that State on
local and personal issues.
Now a campaign for Congress, the
members of which will have to decide
whether the tariff and other pressing
issues shall be taken up, can be decided
by the voters on local issues, can only
be explained by those opportunist Re
publican statesmen who try to make
the President the issue in one State and
ignore him in another. They are all
things TO all men and are at their old
tricks trying to fool part of the Repub
lican voters all the time and some of
the Republican voters part Of the time,
but they have discovered by the result
IN Maine that they cannot fool all the
Republican voters all Of the time They
are in mortal dread of their own voters
in Pennsylvania, New York, Massachu-
sets, Delaware. Ohio. Colorado, Mime
sofa and other States, and are vocifer-
ously urging them to drop exasperating
issues and vote the whole ticket for the
sake of the party.
The Republican leaders decry trusts
and at the same time are calling on the
trust and corporation magnates for
campaign funds. In New York they
declare they are not getting money from
the corporations, and yet the Republi
can leaders refused 10 allow the bill TO
prevent corporations from donating
money 10 campaign funds 70 pass the
House Of Representative by killing It
in committee. These same Republican
leaders declare that 10 raise the tariff
issue in the next Congress would result
in disaster, and in he same breath say
they will revise the tariff when needed,
which they know was never more. nee
essary than row, and yet they have de-
termined 70 stand pat and declare that
TIE voters should let well enough alone

Democratic Opportunity.

The Republican managers of the
Congressional elections are whistling
to keep up the courage of themselves
and their followers, but like the boy
passing through the graveyard at dusk,
they are really scared to death" They
don't know what is going to happen
for so many Republican voters are
breaking away from their political
moorings that all the information that
comes to headquarters is replete with
forebodings of defeat The old Repub-
lican machine workers are not enthu-
sastic in the cause, for they do not see
much benefit from success, except those
who are holding down Federal offices
ly putting in their time at politics, in
stead of attending to business. Fhe late
conference at the White House of the
Republican leaders was gloomy, al
though it was given out that victory
was certain. But the Republican
brethren should cheer up, the tariff
protected trusts are putting money into
the close congressional districts to save
the standpat Congressional candidates
and matters may not be as desperate as
the new amateur managers are scared
into believing they are.
Democrats everywhere should take
advantage of the Republican apathy
and by personally urging all Demo
Gratis to vote, victory is assured. There
are always enough stay-at-home voters
to change the result in close districts
and the whole Democratic problem Is
to get these laggard voters to the polls.

was finished, whatever the subject was,
until he had said something or other.
His chance came at last when he was
quite exhausted and when he had real

DOOM OF THE FARM HORSE.

sede Dobbin in the Fields.
Good-by Dobbin, the faithful and
sturdy old farm horse. No longer will
''the plowman homeward plod his
weary way" Instead he will simply
urn on the second speed of his agri-
cultural motor car and so dashing up
the lane to the farmhouse at the rate
of twenty miles an hour.
In the early months of 1902 what
nroved to be the first successful gaso-
line agricultural motor appeared, con-
testing at nearly all of the great agri-
cultural competitions Of the season in
England and carrying off the gold med
ais from the horse in every contest
Flowing proved to be the first phase
of farm labor to which the agricultural
motor was introduced and at which
four years ago it made its initial repu-
tation. Steam engines had proven too
heavy for the soft land being plowed
and here the agriculturists expected to
mire the internal combustion motor,
but they signally failed. For a blowing
test NluOuS LulStSs steam pQNtT ana
the gasoline motor two and three-quar-
ter acres of very heavy clay soil were
selected. 1t was a condition that the
burrows were TO be nine inches wide
and six inches deep. In doing the
work nine horses, three to a pillow, with
three drivers and three boys, did the
work at a total cost of SS.25, or at the
rate Of S3.6S an acre. By steam power
the total cost of blowing the same area
amounted to $3.50, or at S4.0S an acre,
and with the gasoline motor the cost
totaled S444. or ar S1.97 an acre. For
blowing purposes a three-furrowed
pillow is invariably used except in
heavy clay soils where couple of fur
rows prove sufficient. = Technical

RANCHES BECOME CITIES.

ing Texas Panhandle.

ing Texas Panhandle.
The western land fever which some
wears ago attacked Oklahoma and then
shifted to Canada, is now raging virulent-
" in Texas. In the last two years prac-
tically all the big ranches in the Texas
Panhandle have been bought by land COM
panies. These have arranged with the
railroads to run excursion trains from as
far east as Indianapolis at half fare.
Their eastern agents gather up the farm
ers who will come, and these are all
punched at Kansas City, Wichita or III
Reno, and there westerners who know
the land thoroughly and can talk a mum
my into a purchase take charge.
Amarillo, Texas, is the center of the
big land BOOM Two years ago it was a
cattle shipping point, the center of the
gigantic Tx ranch, with several hun
dred inhabitants. To-day it has S,OoO,
and nightly people have to sleep on the
streets for lack of accommodations. The
old ranch was u miles wide and 60 long,
and was all under fence. There were
1000 sections, or nearly 10000 acres.
The company bought the land originally
for 20 cents an acre.
The land boom in the Panhandle be-
gan when the company that owned the
ranch divided it up into sections and be-
gan offering it at from $1,000 to $4,000
section. A fourth of the land is yet un-
Sold but the company has gathered in six
millions for the land disposed Of Its
sale value is now from so to $50 an
acre. There are other big ranches in the
n L.
they call it. These are all being cut up
and offered to the hungry land seekers.
Therell be a lot of dead towns in the
Panhandle when the bottom drops out Of
this boom, as il will but while it lasts
the folks are having a good time. Men
who had nothing a few years ago are rich
now. Two-thirds Of the business blocks
are occupied by land agents.
