JEO. S. WISE on FEDERAL POWER.

John S. Wise, one of the most emf
nent Southern Republicans, but now re-
siding in New York, made an address
lately before the Maryland Bar Asso-
citation on Capitalization by Construc-
tion- He said President Roosevelt's
attempt to broaden federal power bv
Interpretation is to make an India
rubber constitution, and declared that
the doctrine of federal power, increased
by construction under the plea of chang
ed conditions, is the most insidious and
dangerous heresy brought before the
people Of America. But then John S.
wise belongs to the old Lincoln school
OF politics that is entirely outrun by the
strenuous type of Republicans of to-
day. The speeches of President Roose-
welt, said Mr.. Wise, Indicate a singular
ignorance of the boundary line between
Federal and State powers, and he pre-
dicted that the people would not uphold
party which advocated Federal or
State aggression. Republicans who
think as Mr.. Wise does must needs
come over to the Democracy and will
undoubtedly do so if wisdom is shown
In platform declarations and selection
of candidates.-Clifton Forge Review.
1t has been long time since a Demo
cratic paper in Virginia has said any,
thing in the way of approval of an ut
terance made by John S. Wise. Such
words of praise and invitation as given
by the Clifton Forge Review ought to
convince Captain Wise of the unsound-
ness and bad taste OF his criticisms of
President Roosevelt. And no doubt he
will be so impressed, unless he is pre-
pared to cast aside his Lions Skim"
and once more clothe himself in the ha-
biliments of the Virginia Democracy
that has been so very good to him. No
doubt he would be cordially received, as
was old Parson Massey, for whom the
fatted calf was slain after he had been
pelted with rotten eggs.

Financial and Industrial Conditions.
Washington Post.)

Financial and industrial conditions in
this country are healthy and full of vi
tality. There is no sign of slackeninp
of the speed Of factory wheels. While
little more rain would improve the
prospects of the wheat crop, there is as
surance of big yield. The corn crop
will not be a record-breaker. but it is
far from being failure. Cotton is late.
on account of the backward spring. but
II there are no unreasonable frosts the
crop will be large and of good quality.
With promise of at least normal yield
of these three great staples the pros
perity of the country can not flag if the
optimism and good sense of the people
are equal to the task of conserving their
blessings.
The bank clearings of the leading cit
les of the United States were greater
in July than in the same month last
year, which was a record-breaker in its
turn. The railroads are reporting in
creased earnings, and heavy demands
for rolling stock are made by the oper-
ating departments. Passenger travel
Is heavier this summer than it has ever
been. Millions of dollars are being ex-
pended by the people in diversions and
luxuries, while other millions are going
INTO investments and new enterprise.
The extension of trolley lines is one of
the typical methods of investing large
capital, and the development of electric
ity by water power is another. Build
ing operations are not being carried on
as vigorously as in the spring, but the
work now being done compares favor
ably with that under way during pre-
vious years at this season.

An Impossible Union.
(Pittsburg Post.)

A proposition advocated by a Vene-
zuelan paper that all the Latin-Ameri-
can republics should unite to sustain the
Drago doctrine as enunciated by its au-
thor, is not likely to become effective.
The Drago doctrine is to the effect that
under no circumstances can force be
used to collect debts due to a govern
ment or its citizens by the citizens or
government of another country The
representatives of the United States at
The Hague Conference have modified
this so that claims for debts must first
be arbitrated before force can be used
to collect them. Nations and individ-
uals desiring to deal honestly with their
creditors can have no valid reason to OBJ
Ject to the payment of awards made by
impartial international arbitrators.
The American proposal modifying the
Drago doctrine as above has already re-
celved the support of the representa-
tlves of Chile, Ecuador, Uruguay and
Brazil These countries will therefore
evidently not give assent to the Vene-
zuelan proposal, which would become
nugatory by their abstention.
1t would be bad thing for South
America to form union to oppose the
collection of properly adjudicated debts.
That continent needs vast amounts of
foreign capital for its development and
the formation of such a union as the
Venezuelan paper proposes would GER
tainly have great effect in discourag-
ing the investment of such capital in
that quarter.

Vote Getting Popularity.
(Pittsburg Gazette-Times.


Last week there was a solemn meet
ing of the Democratic leaders of Marv-
land, which resulted in the adoption of
sonorous resolutions in which it was set
forth that they wanted for their guber-
material candidate a man possessing "a
union Of strong moral and intellectual
qualities with vote-getting popular
ity." Such qualifications certainly would
be hard to beat, especially the latter.
Just why the Democratic LEADERS" of
that State should particularize the quail
tiles mentioned is not quite clear on a
hrst consideration of the matter. but
light on the situation sits through in
dealing with the ''vote-getting popular
lty' phase of the case. Therefore il
happens that Diogenes will not have to
light his lantern and start on a fruitless
search.
The kind of popularity the Maryland
Democrats are DESTROYS of having their
candidate possess is susceptible of MANY
constructions, but with them it turns
out to mean that he must have a pur
chasing power, or, in vulgar parlance, a
barrel" This reading of the meaning
of the leaders is corroborated by the
statement of Mr.. Joseph D. Baker.
who, on being told that some of his
friends attending the conference had
stated that as much as $500, 900 would
be raised in Frederick county in the
event of his nomination, only laughed.
He then in serious vein said:
They did not consult me before thew
left. AS matter of fact, if I thought
the Democratic party wanted to nomi
nate me because of the little money I
have or because was considered able
to put up certain amount of money. I
consider 1t the poorest compliment that
could be paid me-"
Alas! how fiat the ''strong moral and
intellectual qualities " in comparison
with the ability to finance a campaign.
And here again we see great moral in
tentions on the part of the Democratic
leaders of Maryland warped and twist
ed by the well known commercial in
stincts of the great party of the "pee-
pull"

The Limit OF Life.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that the
life is many years below the attainment
possible with the advanced knowledge
OF which the race Is now possessed. The
critical period, that determines its dura-
ton, seems TO be between so and so; the
proper care of the body during this de-
cade cannot be too strongly urged; care
lessness then being fatal to longevity.

Unfair to the Republicans.
(Harrissonburg Daily Times.)

(harrlssonburg Daily Times.)
The circuit judges of this State. who
are all Democrats, who were nominated
IN Democratic caucus of the members
OF the Legislature, have had the duty
OF appointing Commissioners of the
Revenue placed upon them by our con-
stitution, thus taking from the people
the right to select class of most i'm
portant officers. They have been en-
gagged during the last month or two in
appointing these commissioners or as
SCISSORS, and although there are several
hundred of them, we have failed to hear
of single Republican being appointed
as Commissioner of the Revenue.
There are probably between $50 and
400 Commissioners of the Revenue in
this State and probably one third or
more of them would be Republicans if
they were to be elected by the people,
as was the case before the new consti-
tuition took away that right from them.
The circuit judges now have the right
to appoint them, but so far not one Re-
publican has been appointed. How is
that for a non-partisan judiciary? A
district may have several hundred Re-
publican majority in it, but yet the
Democratic judge appoints a Demo-
cratic assessor.

In striking at the absinthe traffic
within its borders France, it would ap-
pear, is simply exercising the natural
right of self-preserYation which belongs
to nation no less than to an Individual.
The absinthe habit, or "absinthism'' as
it Is termed, leaders of the movement
to suppress it say is running the ma
ton" and is threatening to become a
national curse, like the opium habit In
China. The consumption Of this insid-
uous liquor in recent years has advanced
by leaps and bounds until it now
amounts to nearly five million gallons
annually. Alarmed at this condition of
affairs the Government has inaupurated
crusade against it, bill to prohibit
its sale within the republic having re-
Gently been favorably reported in the
Chamber of Deputies. In taking this
stand the French Government can
hardly be said to be urging temperance
legislation, except incidentally. Abb
sinthe Is not, properly speaking, q bey-
erage. 1t is a drug, a slow poison,
whose continued use breeds epileptic
symptoms and incurable forms of brain
disease. The absinthe tippler differs
little from what in this country we are
won't to call dope fiend;" and the
same reasons which have made it wise
and expedient for the several States of
this United Union to restrict the sale of
cocaine, morphine and other narcotic
drugs likewise justify France in her eff
forts to suppress the sale of absinthe.

Railroads Kill 42I; Main 4s2o.

Washington, July 31.-Shocking rail-
road accidents, involving great loss of
life and property, occurred in the Uni

the number of lives lost and the number
OF persons injured are somewhat les

the record is appalling.
The bulletin shows that the total num-
Der of casualties to passengers and to
employees while on duty, during the
three months, was 20, 500, as compared
with 2O.944 reported in the preceding
three months-a decrease of 3Sl. The
total number of passengers and en-
ployees killed in train accidents was 42I.
and the number of injured 1920, fifty
three less in the number killed and TWEEN
ty less in the number injured as COM
pared with the record of the preceding
three months.
1891 ACCIDENTS.
The total number of collisions and de-
railments in the quarter was 1891 COTS
collisions and 1918 derailments), of
which 1923 collisions and 229 derailments
affected passenger trains. The damage
to cars, engines and roadway by these
accidents amounted to So, 1886, ITO.
The number of employees killed in
coupling accidents in this quarter shows
diminution of 25 per cent. as compared
with the quarter last preceding or with
that of one year ago. The other prin-
cipal items in the present record show
no important changes as compared with
the last preceding quarter, which was
marked by large aggregates of both
