AVast Bureaucratic Government.
Considering the present policies Of the
political party of which Speaker Cannon
is a prominent leader, the warning which
he voiced during his speech at the Union
League reception in Philadelphia, last
Saturday night, seems incongruous,
although il is timely and pertinent.
ain my judgment" said Speaker Can
non. "the danger now to us is not the
weakening of the Federal government,
but rather the failure Of the forty-five
sovereign States TO exercise, respectively
their function their jurisdiction touch
ing all matters not granted to the Federal
government This danger does not come
from the desire Of the Federal govern
ment TO grasp power not conierred'b the
Constitution. but rather from the desire
Of the citizens of the respective States to
cast upon the Federal government the
responsibility and duty that they should
perform. If the Federal government con-
tinues to centralize we viii soon find that
we will have a vast bureaucratic govern
ment, which will prove inefficient if not
corrupt"
This warning harks back for more than
century, TO the discussions that at
tended the formation of the Federal Con
stitution and subsequently, during many
animated debates in Congress, to the con
sideration of the very important subject
Of the proper construction OF that docu.
ment.
In those days it was the leaders Of the
Democratic party who pointed out the
dangers Of a centralized form of govern
ment, and advocated the strictest con
struction of those portions of the Constitu
ton which conferred power upon the Con
gress. Especially were they insisten
that the article which provides that 9Th,
powers not delegated to the United State
by the Constitution, nor prohibited by j
to the States, are reserved to the State
respectively, or to the people" should b
most rigidly construed.
Il is somewhat surprising, therefore
TO hear Of such a warning as the abov'
coming from the Speaker Of the House O
Representatives, who only recently ex
erted the arbitrary powers of his Office T.
jam through the House a measure de
signed TO place a large part of the opera
tion Of the railroads OF the country undo
Federal control
But the warning is an impressive one
despite It's source.

STRAW HAT STYLES.
-Four Designed This Year Especially 70,
Young Men.

-Four Designed This Year Especially for
Young Men.
New York sun.
bes ides the panamas and the straws
OF various braids and styles designed for
men of various tastes and fancies0 y said
manufacturer Of straw hats "there will
be found in the coming season. s hats
among those designed for young men
Tour prevailing styles, a sennett Yacht
hat and split straw yacht. both stiff
hats, one of soft fine braid and one of
mackinaw braid. The tendency for ali
these hats is to low crowns.
The yacht hats will have a crown two
and three-quarter inches in height and
they will be made some with brims Of two
and an eighth inches and some with brims
OF two and half inches in width.
The soft straw hats will be made one
with its low crown telescoped and the
other with flush crown. Both will have
rather wide brims, some of which will be
finished unbound, while others will be
bound around the edge.
The yacht or stiff hat we have long
had in various shapes and in VARYING di-
mensions. The two soft hats of this
season for the young men are made in
shapes especially designed for Young
men s use from bralds once worn almost
altogether in hats designed for older men.
hat we call here yacht hat is called
boater in London, from the fact that
It is the style Of hat there worn by all of
the thousands Of young men Who 90
boating on the Thames more or less.
Here we do less boating and more sail
ing and yachting, and so we call ours a
yacht hat.
From the time Of the death Of Presi-
dent Mckinley up to last year straw hats
IN this country were worn almost ex-
! clusively with black bands. But last wear
considerable numbers of fancy bands ap-
peared, and this year fancy bands will be
worn more than ever.
I'm London every man who wears n
boater wears fancy band on il. There
such hat is commonly sold without the
band, which is selected by the purchaser.
You will find IN the hat stores a great lot
OF fancy hatbands of all sorts OF colors
and combinations of colors stretched
across a counter, and the purchaser of a
hat selects from among them hatband
which will match his sweater. OF that
otherwise suits his fancy.
And here, TO be sure. fancy bands can
be bought separately but the common
custom is to trim the hat complete"
