CONDITIONS IN IRELAND.
Father Talon Of St. Louis Sends Fol
lowing to Western Waterman.

Cork, Aug. 2. 1907.
Coming back to the subject of con-
ditions in Ireland. l have noticed the
almost total want of organization
among the people. The idea of organ
ization. and the necessity Of it in these
days are thoughts which do not enter
into their minds. For instance. take
one of the small towns in any part of
Ireland and search it from one end to
the other and YOU can not find or get
any information on the subject of the
person, or persons. in authority there.
heard the parish priest of a certain
town make great fun over letter he
had received from Colorado, in which
the writer desired to know the name
of the mayor. or of the postmaster. Of
the place There were no such persons
in the town. When 1 asked who then
governed he town. l was told the po-
lice did. That town is poorly kept and
the main street of the place in general
needs cleaning up: but there is nobody
to do it. or to order 1t to be done.
Whenever anything happens con-
trary to the peace or, dignity of his
majesty's subjects. the sergeant of po-
lice comes on the scene, and that eve
ming or next day. he will ride on a
bike some miles away to consult a
magistrate

colossal failure in it's attempt to con-

PARKER AND THE CONSTITUTION

Two distinguished American iurists
at the recent meeting Of the American
Bar Association at Portland Maine
voiced directly opposite views on the
question that is now foremost in the
public mind. Judge Alton B. Parker.
iate chief Justice of the Court of APP
peals of New York and last Demo-
cratic candidate for President. came
out in strong but conservative sneech
against the attempt Of the federal gov
eminent to, take away from states
powers and rights guaranteed them nv
the Constitution. while Federal Judge
Charles F. Amidon of North Dakota
made plea for the increase Of fed.
eral control
This is by all odds the most imnort-
ant question before the people al the
present time. 1t is a question round
which other political questions canter
1t is the question which has caused
the trouble in North Carolina and Ala
hama between the federal Judges and
state authority. Judge Parker upheld
the supremacy Of the Constitution cf
each state as capable of amendment
only by the people of the state itself
eer'ared for the limiting If govern
No. ntal power by INV. and urged that
any correction or modifcati ton Of CON-
S'''Itlonal powers be by amendment in
the way that the Constitution desie-
mates. Judge Amidon took the m.
posite position and claimed that the
remedy for the conflict between federal
and state governments lies in the ex-
ercise of greater power by the fedora,
government
This is the old issue between the old
Democratic party and the Federalists
between the Democratic party of anti
war days and the Wings. The oues-
ton was supposed to be settled by the
civil war but it is question that new
err can be settled SO long as men take
exactly opposite views Of what the
Constitution Of the United States is
The old Democratic idea founded unon
the historical development Of the ma :
ton and its Constitution will neve,
down. History records and reason
teaches that the Constitution of the
united states was a grant of power
from the states and that the powers
of the federal government over states
is limited to the powers specifically
granted in the Constitution. The Re.
publican party has from the very time
of its founda ton tried to stretch the
Constitution so as to cover NOT only
the powers granted but all powers moi
mentioned and not prohibited by the
Constitution itself. Judge Parker
urged that it was not the intention NJ
the Constitution to confer on Congress
the power to deal with manufa ctures
within the state. Manufactures are
not commerce. Not until the articles
are moved from state to state do thew
become inter- state commerce. The
stand of the late Democratic candi-
date for the presidency on the cues
lions now before the public is dta-
metrically opposed to that OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The opinions ak
pressed may not be popular with those

without regard to which English politi-
cal party happens to be in power. If
the Liberals wish Il, continue in power
they must see to it from this time on
that they have a majority in the House
OF Commons withou. counting the Irish
Nationalist.
