POWER OF CONGRESS WITH RE-
SPECT TO COURTS.

There has been controversy among
lawyers at the national capital concern
ing the powers of congress with respect
to courts. w. W.. Ballew, of Corsicana,
Texas, makes an interesting contribu-
ton to the discussion. Mr. Ballew says
that Senator Bailey is eminently correct
in his exposition of the constitution and
the power of congress over the jurisdic-
ton of federal courts. He says that
Senator Bailey is so clearly supported
by the authorities that there is no room
for controversy over the question.
Mr.. Ballew presents the following
brief:
article of the constitution of the
United States declares that the Judicial
power Of. the United. States shall be
vested in. one supreme court, and in
such inferior courts as the congress
may from time to time ordain and es-
tablish. e.. be-

THE EDITOR AND THE MONEY

1t takes meney to run newspaper,
says the st. John, Kansas, News.
An exhange in nearby town replied,
"what an exaggera ton, what whop-
perl 1t has been disproved a thousand
times, it is case of fairy fancy 1t
doesn't take money to run newspaper
it can be run without money. 1t is a
charitable institution, begging con-
Germ, a highway tobber. The news
paper is child of the air, creature of
dream. 1t can go on and on when an
other concern would be in the hands of
a receiver and wound up with cobwebs
in the window. 1t takes wind to run
newspaper; it takes gall to run news
paper. 1t takes scintillating, aero
batic imagination and half dozen white
shirts and a railroad pass to run news
paper. But money who ever needed
money in conducting newspaper?
Kind words are the medium of exchange
that do the business for the editor
kind words and church societies tickets.
When you see an editor with money
watch him. He'll be paying his bills
and disgracing his profession. Never
give money to an editor. Make him
trade it out. He likes to swap, cord
wood, cabbage, eyewater, corn salve,
old buds, and scrap iron are ali useful
to him. Then when you die, after hav-

at the editor and his Jim Grow paper
besure and have your wife send in for
three extra copies by one of your
weeping children, and when she reads
the generous touching notice about you
forewarn her not to neglect to send the
fifteen cents to the editor. 1t would
overwhelm him.
Money is corrupt thing. The editor
knows it and What he wants is your
heartfelt thanks. Then he can thank
the printers and they can thank the
grocers. Send your job work to some
cheap institution in the east, and then
come and ask for free puff every time
the baby cuts tooth. Hold the editor
and his paper responsible for your
town being dead, and exonerate your
self. Get your lodge stationery printed
out of town and then flood the editor
with resolutions and cards of thanks.
They make such spicy reading, and
when you pick it up filled with those
vivid and glowing mortuary articles,
you are proud of your little paper. But
money scorn TIE filthy stuff. DOM

thing about it, for it might do him harm
Keep that for the sordid tradespeople
who charge for their wares. The editor
gives his bounty away. The Lord loves

1t will be recalled that just prior to
the last presidential election Mr.. Roose-
welt made $4,000 mile campaign of
education which had for its object the
granting of greater power to that hoary
old chestnut, the Interstate Commerce
commission, with the result that the
only tangible bit of power it possessed
at the time, the penal clause, which
enabled it to send recalcitrant witnesses
to jail was repealed by the following
congress and the bill was signed by
President Roosevelt.

An Old Law Furnishes a Queer Tale.

An ancient statute once in force in the
District OF Columbia, which permitted a
father to will away his unborn child, is the
inspiration Of Caroline Abbot Stan'ey's new
story, a Modern Madonna CThe Century
Company. Since the statute was repealed
some ten years ago it is difficult TO under
standIwhy the book should!have been written.
Founded upon a lead issue, made up Of old
time melodramatic material, the story is one
OF those upon which either praise or blame
conRers undeserved distinction.
A young widow who has been %unhappily
married and whose husband is killed by the
girl he has wronged finds that her unborn
child is wiIled to her brother-in-law. The
solution OF the difficulty Is to marry the
brother-in-law, which she does after endless
lawsuits and conflicts, flight and pursuit,
argument and brain fever, and the good old
time reconciliation az the child's sickbed.
The well worn wires of coincidence are
pulled, regardless Of plausibihty. to persuade
the widow to care for the wronged girl in her
dying hours and to adopt her child. So the
wronged wife, the illegitimate son, the
cruel brother and the baby Of contention all
settle down in a happy family.
mMeantime the woman suffragists and
lobbyists go on righting unjust law at the
nltional capital. as they repealed the stat
ute upon which A Modern Madonna" is
founded.
