THE CONSTITUTION AND THE
 COUNTRY.

Thoughtful men who have given consideration to the subject have had long a realizing sense that the wants and needs of the country have outgrown long since the framework of its government, and that in order that there shall be a possibility of that government reaching in it's powers all the de- mands upon its operation there have grown by construction powers of the general government that were not intended by the framers which would not have been grant ed by the people had it been shown that they were intended. That be- ing the sentiment that has taken root there is growing belief that the time has come in which the American people should take a new departure-call constitution al convention which taking stock of the greatly changed conditions under which they are living now, will frame new constitution which shall meet those new conditions without continually wrenching from its original intention the provisions of the fundamental law, or giving by implication to the government powers that would have resulted in rejection of that instrument had those powers been incorporated therein when the con stitution was submitted to the peo- pie in 1787-S.
 One of the most impressive and pointed expressions of sentiment in the direction indicated was given utterance last month in an address at the Jamestown Exposi- ton by Mir. Edmund J. James, president of the University Of H. inois. After calling attention to the wide difference in conditions now and those prevailing at time of adoption of the Constitution Professor James cites several methods open to practice, but reaches the final conclusion that a new fundamental law framed by a convention called regularly is the best and clearest way out of the anomalous condition in which the American people have been put by growth of their institutions along natural lines, yet in directions diametrically opposite those out lined by the framers of the original instrument as within the purview of their own intentions.
 As tersely expressed by Professor

separated from the times and con. ditions of the men who drew the instrument. In agriculture we have introduced the machine in- stead of the tools; in industry we have replaced wind and water by steam and electricity; in politics we have abolished human slav- cry and accepted in principle at least manhood suffrage as the basis of the elective franchise. Theirs was a league of small states of sparse population; of little wealth; of small commerce; without banks; with few schools; with an aristo. cratic organization of society based on human slavery. Ours is a na tion; of world wide extent and inn portance; leader of modern states in agriculture, in commerce, in in- dustry; democratic in form and becoming ever more democratic in spirit"
 When the constitution was framed the great complication of irre- sponsible power was that repre- sented by royalty, and the framers of the fundamental law adopted then sought to protect the people from the possibilities they perceived of the new government lapsing into mon 2rchy, which had been the fate of so many republics. One of the leading spirits in framing and adopting that fundamental law was an almost openly avowed monarchist. Alexander Hamilton believed the British Constitution the ideal form of government, and he sought to put into the instru- ment framing for government of America many of the principles of the older instrument. Failing in that he advocated adoption of the instrument framed as being the best that could be secured, adding significantly: What the instru- ment lacks now we shall get by con- struction hereafter" Immediately upon adoption of the instrument there began the conflict between the strict constructionists, led by Jefferson; and the adherents of Hamilton, who sought to read into the constitution powers for the general government that were never intended to be granted; and which would have caused rejection of the instrument had they been mentioned therein. That the Ham iltonian policy has prevailed and progressed to great extent goes without saying. Under the implied powers of the government John Marshall, the second Chief Justice, read into the fundamental law provisions that made the strict copstructionists stand aghast. Even Jefferson himself, in the Louisiana purchase assumed powers that he admitted were unconstitutional,

The Call of the Wild.

Most of our song birds have three
notes expressive of love, alarm and
fellowship, says John Burroughs in
Country Life in America. The latter
call seems to keep them In touch
wit one another. l might perhaps
add to this list the scream of distress
which most birds utter when caught
by a cat or a hawk-the voice of un-
controlled terror and-dissonant and
piercing. The other notes and calls
are characteristic, but this last is the
simple screech of common terrified
nature

Extracting Elephants Teeth.

The greatest dental operation on
record was performed upon an ele-
plant in the City of Mexico. The
aching tooth was twelve inches long
and fourteen inches in diameter at
the root. After Mr.. Elephant had
been securely fastened with chains
his mouth was prised open and a
quantity of cocaine applied to dead
en- the pain. When this was done, a
hole was bored through the tooth
and an iron bar inserted. Then d
rope was twisted around the bar and
four horses attached.

MEDICAL PALACES.
Many Prevalent Among the People
Concerning Food Value.


A doctor was pointing out medi-
cal fallacies-the wrong ideas about

hold.
zone fallacy." he said, sis that
beef tea is nourishing. 1t is nothing
but water in which pleasant and ex-
hilerating meat salts are dissolved.
You would starve to death on beef
tea, the same as on whisky or on
coffee.
Another fallacy is that alcohol
whisky-warms the body. Alcohol
lowers the temperature. 1t chills, in
stead of warming. Hence it is of no
use whatever as guard against
cold.
"a third fallacy is that one egg
contains as much nourishment as a
pound of meat. Sick people without
appetite think complacently that IL
they take an egg or two day they
they are doing anything but we'll.
They must remember, If they are
substituting eggs for meat, that eight
eggs, not one, are required to equal
one meat pound.
Then there's the liver fallacy.
Many, as soon as their stomachs get
out of order, begin to treat their
liver But the liver is a dangerous
thing to treat unless one understands
it, for there are over ninety distinct
liver troubles, and what is good for
one is bad for all the rest"

Napoleon and Russia.

1t is a singular fact that the fall
of Napoleon began with his attack
on Russia. Thenceforth Russia was
a fear and dread to him. He used
about her the most extravagant Ian
guage, such as Russia is on the
march to conquer the world" He
thought that any one who could sue
cessfully resist Napoleon must have
a charmed life. And these seem to
be Russia's ideas about herself. I'm

satiable.

Washington, May IA committee
of experts has just completed count
ing all the unused" money in the
vaults of the treasury department 1t
amounted to s176,O00,oOO. The count
was ordered by Mr.. Ridgely, the con-
troller. In spite of the fact that the
money in the great vault where this
sort of money is kept has not been
counted for six years, and that during
the period more than $4,000, 0OO, 900
have been issued from the vault not a
cent of the money was missing, and
the accounts as kept by the book
keepers of the issue division and the
count of the committee OF experts
agreed to the cent.
Controller Ridgely was induced to
order the count because of a chance
thought that so long time had
elapsed since the last count had been
made and of the always present pos
sibility Of sheets of money going
astray notwithstanding the precau-
tions that are taken TO prevent it, 1t
is tribute to the care and faithful
ness of Mr. Eldridge, who has been in
charge of the vault throughout the per-
iod, that everything was found in such
excellent condition He is one of the
most tried and trusted employees of the
department, as he has been in charge
of this big money vault for thirty
years, through all changes in the po-
litical complexion of the national adj
ministrations.

TrOtterS and PAGERS
BYE. L. CHURCHILL.
Weekly Horse Letter for Palladium and Sun-TeIegram.
By E. L. CHURCHILL.

The horse interest continues to grow
and in all sections of this great state
the trotters and PAGERS are now IN
great demand, and the breeders OF this
class of horse flesh have a bright fu-
ture in store for them. The breeding
and developing of the American trot-
ting horse has become one of the lead
ing pursuits of our we1l-to-do farmers
who can afford TO enter into this great
occupation. and the men of great
means are in it more for their love of
the equine race and to help build up
the interest and to help keep up the
good prices that have made the horse
men all happy. This beautiful city
seems TO have wakened up out of a sta
por and entered with renewed vigor in
10 the breeding business. Mr.. w. II.
Bradford. the well known railroad
magnate, has purchased a fine farm
some two miles east of the city, on the
Richmond and New Paris turn pike
and has placed George Amsden there
with all his fine trotters and PAGERS
