Russia and Great Britain.

The announcement that the visit of
the British feet to, Kronstadt is in
definitely postponed is the first foreign
intiMation of an official character that
sthe empire of Russia is in a divided
state. When first questioned upon the
matter in the house Of commons the
foreign secretary, Sir Edward Grey, re-
piled that the visit of the fleet would
be made, since there was nothing
known to Great Britain of trouble in
Russia and no reason, so far as the
official world knew, existed why the
visit should not be made.
He has now completely reversed his
position, and in doing 50 has admitted
that the British fleet cannot 90 to Kron-
stadt without appearing to take sides
in the controversy in Russia. Not be-
ing able to answer the question,
"Which is Russia, the car and the
cabinet or the douma and the peopleq'
he wisely refrained from taking a posi-
tion which would demand an answer.
This incident emphasizes the fact that

bears directly upon the diplomatic ques-
ton. Properly enough, if the people
of Russia are to have a representative
government, that government should
represent them in foreign as well as
local affairs. The Importance of this
is to be seen in the manner the people
of Russia were lugged into the Japanese
war. They were not consulted. War
was declared by a small ~coterie of Of
fcers who surrounded the czar.1 The
nation was unprepared and the czar was
deceived as to the true condition of$the
army and navy. But the czar and the
bureaucracy did not bear the burden
of that disastrous conflict. The people
bore it. The enormous loans raised to
finance the war made no inroad on the
income Of the members Of the bureau
cracy, On the contrary, they probably
made on the transactions in commits
sions as they had before on selling
rotten supplies to the army and USE
less munitions to the navy. But the
people Of Russia were brought to the
verge Of ruin. They are there today.
Russia off the map. While the British
would have to salute is a government
which has done everything which stu
pidity and corruption could do to wipe
Russia off the map. While the British
fleet might have an ironical laugh out
of saluting such government, it would
be grave insult to a struggling people.

ROMAN VIEW OF THE GHOST OF
"1AMLE7. Maurice Francis Egan,
LL.D:, IN little volume " essays pub
l1shed under the title in the Introductory
essay, The Ghost In Hamlet says:
-. The letter, the meaning, the move
ment OF all the scenes in Hamlet" lead
Ing to the revelation of the betrayed and
assassinated king, in whose person the
whole state Of Denmark was betrayed
and assasstnated, show that the Ghost
was a spirit, waiting, in suffering, to be
cleansed Of the stains Of EARTH
This Is merely another way Of saying
that Hamlet's father was in purgatory.
The view Is interesting, and the play
as studied from such a viewpoint is also
interesting. Unfortunately the author has
not stuck closely to his text The essay
is more Of q study Of Hamlet than of
his fathers spirit-a study of Hamlet's
failure to catch the meaning of the
spirits message. r.' :f
Most of the essays relate to Shakspere.
The authors style is clear and forcible.

Inspect Every Plant.

1, Government, inspection Of meat prod
ucts will be a requisite for all the
large plants, but is not compulsory. It
needs to be well supplemented by state
and local supervision Of the smaller
abattoirs. a .st
Since the disclosures of HThe Jun
gle mo packing company will be able
to do a general business unless it can
put out it's products under a govern
ment label that guarantees cleanliness
from the hoof to the can, and also
shows that the meat comes from a
healthy animal. Many changes are
necessary to comply with the sanitary
rules of the department, and plants that
submit to the government inspection
will have to obey those rules to the
smallest detail, if the inspection force
carries out the will Of the department.
1t will not be possible, however, to
force any packer doing business within
one state to take the government in
spection. Secretary Wilson said yes
terday that inspectors would not be
sent to any plant until it had made
such alterations as the rules required
to insure sanitary conditions. No in
spectors will be detailed to many small
plants 80 .
Local abattoirs are still numerous.
Their products are disposed Of near at
home, and on a small scale, but in the
aggregate these establishments supply
a good share Of the total meat con-
sumed. They have practically no SUI
pervision now, and will not have under
the new federal law. They are not as
a rule in the canning business, and do
not care for government labels.
This state has no law providing for
inspection of packing houses. A com
petent service should be provided to
cover the smaller plants. Everything
not under federal inspection should be
just as rigidly covered by state inspec-
tors, to protect the public from dirty
and slovenly methods. Now that the
public mind is awakened on the; ques.

THE QUEST OF THE HOLY GRAIL
What would the world be without the
legend Of the Holy Grail7 There is a
question for some one Of broad mind and
broad learning to answer at length. Ger
tain 1t Is that the world would be far
worse off than it is now had the legend
or its equivalent never been. The ques-
ton Is suggested by a, little book of es-
says by James A. B. 5Scherer, president
OF Newberry college, bearing the title

the legend itself, the others are on Henry
Timrod, Sidney Lanier, The Crusaders,

One Way Of Violating the Con.
stitution.

Justice Brewer has declared in re-
cent popular address that the extension
Of the police powers has made more i'm
life and liberty and the pursuit of
happiness.
The extension of the police powers
of the state has generally been in the
direction of expressing in the form of
statute those reserved power rights Of
the common public, which some indi-,
viduals had taken it upon themselves to
disregard. How this sort of law can
imperil our right to life and liberty
the learned justice has not explained.
Take for example, the recent decision
Of the supreme court of Minnesota
upon the bridging Of railroad tracks.
That controversy directly involved the
peoples right to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. The railroads
took the ground that where their tracks
antedated the street it was the business
of the public to protect itself by erect
ing bridges over the said tracks at it's
own expense. The court has held that
the uncompensated obedience to an or
der enacted for the public safety under
the police power is not taking Of
private property without just compen-
sation. e l.. J.
This appears to be very sensible
view Of the matter. The public had a
right to safety notwithstanding the fact
that the railroad arrived first and the
duty Of making the crossing safe rested
upon those who were making profit
out of the right-of-way. This is no more
{ q hardship on the railroad than is the
compulsion on the citizen to lay walk
in front of his premises. The whole
community is free to use the sidewalk,
but the individual pays for it.
81 Justice Brewers plea appears to be
for strict construction of the consti-
tuition, but he offers no sufficient proof
that the present construction, tho broad,
is not strict In Marsnall's time he
contends that the federal government
was held strictly to the powers granted.
But is there any evidence that the fed
eral government is not now held Is. the
powers granted9 The federal govern
ment is exercising more powers every
day, but this is not evidence that they
4 are powers never granted and therefore
wrongly exercised. The truth appears
{ to be- that congress has from time to
/ time exercised the powers which were
granted, but only as the necessity arose.
f. Is there any evidence that Marshall
would not have upheld the power Of
congress to regulate the railroad rates
I had there been any need for the regu-
lation Of railroad rates in his day7 The
power is expressly granted to congress.
It is as constitutional as the power Of
congress to declare war or to coin
money.

& too loosely for judge Of the court Of
