The Republican leaders contend that
Congress or the courts may Justly put
upon the Constitution construction
which shall be considered as the Con-
stitution itself, and are unwilling that
there should be any cneck to Oppose
their designs. If they had their way
every construction put upon the Con-
stitution by Congress, or by corpora
tion-owned judges of the inferior Fed
eral courts, like Pritchard, would be
in effect new Constitution. And thus
our supreme law would be tossed about
by every political breeze, until 1t final
ly crystalliZed anew into system Of
tyranny based upon arbitrary prac-
tees dictated by corrupt corporations.
President Roosevelt, who is the leader
Of the party favoring the alienation
of the Constitution by this foul method,
now has Congress at his feet, and has
appointed ffty-seven Federal judges,
who presumably adhere to his opinion.
If the people desire to preserve their
Constitution, they must very soon
change the administration of the gov
eminent. They must change 1t, indeed,
at the next election.
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1907-11-06


1t is evident there will be deter
mined effort when Congress meets to
pass nm asset currency" bill. The
American bankers convention, which
has just adjourned, adopted the pro-
posed plan, although there were seri.
GUS objections offered by some Of the
members. The object is to allow the
national banks to issue more currency,
without having to deposit United
States bonds to secure the issue. The
cry is more money. The bankers want
a monopoly that can be increased or
decreased ut their pleasure, and Of
course for their profit. But as the
amount of money per capita Is con-
stantly increasing by the Increased
output Of gold and the currency issued
by newly organized banks, there would
seem to be ample currency to meet al
demands Of legitimate business.

COLD WATER MUSIC.

This Is very old amusement, but
only those who have tried it know
how much melody may Turk in glass
of water. If you have eight thin tum.
blers of the same size and shape, you
may make musical scale quite cas-.
lily. Each tumbler contains certain
amount of cold water, more or less,
according to the volume of sound re-
CURED; this you may find out practi.
cally by dipping your finger in the
water and drawing it briskly round
and round the sharp outer rim of your
glass. This produces a musical note
The fuller the glass, the deeper the
note. The swift motion of the finger
round the edge produces a vibration
on the surface of the water, particu,
larly if the edge is thin and clean cut.
The glasses, with graduated amounts
of water, might be placed in regular
scale order on table covered with
both cloth and table felt. At each
glass put performer with good ear
for music and steady, middle finger,
which is the best and strongest to
use. Each glass must be held firmly,
quite near the bottom SO as not to
mar the sound, with the forefinger
and thumb of the left hand. In this
way all familiar airs may be produced
with some really sweet vibrations il

HOW TO READ A GAS MErER

Here Is the Way to Keep Tab on the
Amount Used.
Few Of the thousands who pay gas
bills every month know how to read the
meter and fewer still know how to reg.
ulate 1t So the bills will not be exces.
'sive.
You keep tab on the bills of your ice.
man, your grocer and butcher; why not
on the gas company? Reading the gas
meter Is n simple matter when once un.
derstood. If you will look ut your me.
ter you will see that there are -four
disks or faces on the front. The tor
one is for the gas company to test and
ascertain If there is leakage, SO you
need pay no attention to it. The three
dials In a row underneath show the
amount of gas used and the little points
on these faces tell the story.
Each dial is numbered from one to
ten. The dial on the right measures
gas by hundreds of feet The middle
dial measures it by thousands of feet
and the left-hand dial measures 1t by
ten thousands of feet. In other words
every time hundred feet of gas is
used the hand on the right dial moves
one number. Every time the hand on
this dial goes completely around the
pointer on the middle dial registers
1000, and when the pointer on the mid.
die dial has made complete revolution
the indicator on the left dial shows that
10000 cubic feet of gas have been meas.
ured.
No matter how far past figure the
dial may be that figure is taken until
the next figure is actually passed.
Take this Illustration: The left-hand
pointer is at five. Each division on this
dial being 10000 feet, this makes 3d.
600.
The middle pointer is at two. Each
division of this middle dial registers
1000 feet, SO the reading here Is 1000
The pointer on the rlght-hand dial is
Just beyond nine. but we read 1t al
