Some things that are really serious
Iare funny in spite of it. This morning
a policeman was coming along a

out a warrant for him, but the man
naturally protested; he said he did

sufficient but the presence Of the Off

to impress upon you with all the earnest
ness possess, that there Is but one way in
which the states Of the Union can maintain
their power and authority under the condi-
tions which are now before US, and that
way Ia by an awakening on the part Of the
states to realization of their own duties
to the country at large.
Under the conditions which now exist
no state can live unto itself alone and reg
ulate its affairs with sole reference to its
own treasury. its own convenience, its own
special interests. Every state IL bound to
frame It's legislation and its administration
with reference. not only to its own special
affairs, but with reference to the effect
upon all its sister states. Every individual
Is bound to regulate his conduct with some
reference to its effect upon his neighbors,
and the more populous the community and
the closer individuals are brought together
the more imperative becomes the necessity
which constrains and limits individual con-
duct
.If any state Is maintaining laws which
afford opportunity and authority for prac-
tees condemned by the public sense Of the
whole country, or laws which, through the
operation of our modern system Of COM
nominations and business are Injurious to
the interests of the whole country, that
state Is violating the conditions upon which
alone can it's power be preserved. II any

foster the enormous over-capitalzation of
corporations condemned by the people of
the country generally; If any state main
tains laws designed to make easy the for
nation Of trusts and the creation of mo-
nopolies; IL any state maintains laws which
permit conditions of child labor revolving to
the senses Of mankind; If any state main
tains laws of marriage and divorce SO far
inconsistent with the general standard Of
the nation as to violently derange the do
mestic relations which the majority Of the
states desire to preserve, that state Is pro-
noting the tendency Of the people of the
country to seek relief through the national
government, and to press forward the
movement for national control and extinc-
ton OF local control.
THE Intervention Of the national govern
ment in many of the matters which 1t has
recently undertaken would have been
wholly unnecessary II the states themselves
had been alive to their duty toward the
general body of the country. It is useless
for the advocates Of state rights to inveigh
against the supremacy of the constitutional
laws of the United States. or against the
extension OF national authority in the fields

Free Trade Among the States.
1.-The second great influence has been the
knitting together in ties Of common in
terest of the people forming the once sep
arate communities through the working of
free trade among the states. Never was a
concession dictated by enlightened 1udg
ment for the common benefit more richly
repaid than that by which the states sur
rendered in the federal Constitution the
right to lay imposts or duties on imports or
exports without the consent of Congress
To it we owe the domestic market for the
products of our farms and forests and
mines and factories without parallel in
history, and an internal trade which al
ready exceeds the entire foreign trade Of
all the rest of the world; and to it we owe
In high degree the constant drawing to-
gether of all parts of our vast and diver
sifed country in the bands of common in
standing and kindly feeling Of frequent in
tercourse
1.-The third great cause OF change is the
marvellous development of facilities for
travel and communication caused by the
inventions and discoveries of the past CEN
fury. The swift trains that pass over our
go, 600 miles of railroad, the 100000 of
100000 miles of telegraph wires, the con-
versation across vast spaces through our
more than 100000 telephone instruments,
take no note of state lines; they have
broken down the barriers between the
separate communities, and they have led to
a reorganization Of the business and social
life Of the people Of the United States along
lines which. for the most part altogether
ignore the boundaries Of the states.

in the best possible condition and the
only question Is whether he will be
able to stand a long and hard fight at
the 133-pound mark.
Herman, under the careful super
vision of Manager Nate Lewis and
Trainer Adam Ryan, has been putting
in the time to the best advantage since
his arrival here and at his camp today
the report was given out that he Is in
the finest fettle.
Both men have completed their
heavy work Of preparation and from
now until the gong sounds they will
exercise only enough to keep in con-
dition and at the proper weight. Her
man expresses the greatest confidence
In his ability to defeat the champion.

Arrangement Of Arena.

The Casinos clubs arrangements
for the fight are Of the most perfect
character. The new arena has COST
the club over $4,000. 1t covers a site
14o feet square and has seating ac-s
commodations for $500. This means
that If the house is filled. and the IN
dications are that it will be, the gate
receipts will total $92,5OO.
The ring platform is located In the
center of the arena and is "a feet

feet above the floor level, and Is sur
rounded by a double row OF press
seats. Three rows Of boxes run back
from the four sides Of the ring, eacn
