HURRELL's NEW EXPERIENCE.

Howard A. Burrell in the Washing
ton, la. ,Press.-I ran against certain
college while there (Chicago). Wish
ing to get shaved, went into a shop
nearly opposite the Kaiserhof hotel,
where stopped, and found to my sur
prise that tie big concern was owned
by an old man, and his BARRIERS were
s13" girls. 1t doubled me in a heap
for second, but nothing short of "23
Skidoo" barber girls would bluff me
out at that stage of the game. A
comely, short, plump damsel invited
me to her chair. She was a brunette,
wearing vast mass of jet black hair
done in voluminous pompadour over
an enormous rat and l thought she
ought to cover it with muslin, as sur
geons do at clinics, for hair is an awful
lair for microbes and germs and small
deer, and regiment or so of them
might drop into the wound if she
should chance to cut my countenance
But she was an artist, and give me a
shave that was a poem in short meter.

vile affair the President tells again in
forceful language what his position is
relative to this and other matters deal
ing with the colored people. He says
he has appointed colored men of high
character to office, utterly disregarding
the protests of those who would keep
them out; that SO far as was in his
power he has sought to give them all
of their rights under the law. He says
further that he would feel himself I'M
fit to be president if he did not feel the
same revolt against wrong done a
colored man as against white man,
and that he would take instant advan-
tage Of the opportunity whereby he
could bring to justice a mob of lynch
ers. In this, he says he does not claim
it a favor. but challenges as right,

country, whatever his color, provided
he has In him the spirit of genuine
and far-sighted patriotism.

tlrety The supremacy OF the consti-
tutional laws of the United States"
The passage above could have been
improved only in one way, and that is
by introducing second time the word
that explained the thought, thus:
1T is useless for the advocates of
state rights to inveigh against the
supremacy of the constitutional laws
of the United States or against the
constitutional extension of national
authority in the fields of necessary
control where the states themselves
fail in the performance of their duty"
Secretary Root is great lawyer and
a profound student of constitutional
philosophy. Here, as almost always,
he is right. The advocates of state
rights will never inveigh against the
supremacy Of the constitutional laws
Of the United States. They will never
inveigh against the constitutional ex-
tension Of national authority in the
fields Of necessary control. All that
they demand is that the laws in which
the federal government asserts it's SUI
premacy shall be constitutional laws,
and that the methods of extending ma
tional authority in the fields of neces-
sary control shall be the method pre-
scribed by the constitution itself.
If Mr. Root holds to that doctrine
the advocates of state rights have no
quarrel with him. That he did mean
in his speech Of night before last to
provide that the assertion Of federal
supremacy must be by laws which are
constitutional, and that the extension
nf fnSnrol oy,fhNrftxy CT hN h1r
stitutional amendment only, we have
not shadow of doubt. Any other
form of assertion and other method
of extension, would be revolutionary.
In this viewSof his meaning the sec
retary's position is so clear that we
venture to go further and express the
opinion that the remarks of Justice
Brown of Pennsylvania on the politi-
cal Importance Of the judiciary as the
safeguard of constitutional institu-
tons. instead of constituting reply"
to Mr.. Roots radicalism as they seem
to have been regarded at the time.
were, in fact, only the enunciation Of
ideas concerning which the secretary
of state would yield to nobody in the
celebrity and enthusiasm of his approx
al and acceptance.
These authoritative dissertations on
national tendency are of the highest
order of interest. Would that the oc-
casion might come for the same elo-
quent speaker and broad minded po-
litical philosopher to discuss subject
of equal, if not even superior interest;
namely, the Capitalization of federal
activity in the executive department
of the federal government, to the de-
pletion of the legislative department
and of the judiciary.

Mr.. ROOT ON TENDENCIES.

New York Sun. Possibly the elo-
quent utterances of Secretary
Root on federal Capitalization
would not have sounded SO radi-
cal to the attentive ears around him
if he had begun his speech with this
passage which occurred somewhere
well along toward the peroration:
ut is useless for the advocates of
state rights to inveigf against the SUI
premacy of the CONSTITUTIONAL
laws Of the United States or against
the extension of national authority in
the fields of necessary control where
the states themselves fail in the per
Torrance of their duty"

is the heart of this sentence and the
key to its true meaning just as the
sentence itself is the heart and core

BISHOP M,cARE.

In the death Of Bishop Charles G.
McCahe the Methodist church loses
one Of it's most faithful as we'll as
most able leaders, and the cause of re-
ligion, not only in the United States,
but in the world, sees the passing of
one of its most tireless and effective
workers. The good done through the
direct efforts of this great church man
through the agencies Of missions
abroad will never and can never be
estimated. He had the peculiar faculty
of raising funds, was business man
as well as pulpit man, and having
been for years placed in position where
ne could exercise this ability to the
interest of the church at home and
abroad, the result was that the mission
boards were given the necessary funds
march of progress to the, present time
may be attributed in a large degree to
his attention.
But the bishop was not a nan of the
church alone. He saw the great world
as 1t is and as it has been. He knew
mankind, and perhaps this faculty is
one that has made him lead and stand
above the hundreds of others In his
church who in other ways may seem to
be his equal He was true patriot.
His country came next to his God in
fact, not merely in words. He took
pride in the fact that he had served his
country in the war of the rebellion and
probably the horrors of Libby prison
were never told in more scholarly,
more interesting and more eloquent
way than he has told them from coast
to coast in that lecture he opened by
sitting at the organ and playing his
own accompaniment and singing,

He was but one of board of bish-
ops who guide the great Methodist
church and the work will go on from
the point that he left it. And while

branches of the church, for he was
laboring until few days ago when
the fatal stroke took him.

that it was brought about by "unfor-

CHANCELLOR DAY ON WEALTH.


In en article in Leslie's' Weekly
Chan cellor Day again espouses the
cause of accumulated wealth and as
sails the position taken by President
Roosevelt with reference to the "swol-
len fortunes" There is ground for
some Of the things the chancellor
is that it deals in general with mat
tiers where wealth is the offender, 60
ing into more particulars where he
stands on safer ground. On certain
measures where he sounds note of
warning he echoes what has been said
by Roosevelt himself on demagoguery
in dealing with public affairs. He says:
For some time VIC nave been in the
grip Of this mighty spasm over corpor-
ate wealth and swollen fortunes. All
of our national ills are being stated
in this formula Down with the rich.
Puncture the swollen fortunes. Make
the rich poor and all the poor will be
rich. Destroy the corporations ham
per them, obstruct them. Sue them in
the courts Assail them in the press.
Tie the strings of the Liliputians to
them in congress and bind them, and
the individual can have chance.
MAKE the returns of great business
sufficiently small and uncertain by
petty legislative restrictions and con-
troll and we shall not be troubled by
the genius of a Rockefeller, Hill, a
Morgan, a Carnegie, an Armour or a
Swift. The little men will be big
enough for the little things remaining
to be done. 1t is a crime for several
men to have developed the power of
giving employment to $4,000 or 100000
men,"

Gus corporations that have been con-

against the men who have chosen to

for being against the corporate wealth.

cused, when he deals with the subject
of corporations and corporate wealth,
always sounds warning against dema-
goguery and urges that the man of
wealth be given equal justice with the
man of poverty. no more, no less.
There Is notable contrast between
the writings of these two men, who
stand opposed to each other; the Presi-
dent urging justice to all, the univer-
sity man decrying all efforts to render
justice.
