GETTING READY

1t is said that the Postals, which is
one of the. best of the semi-profes-
sional teams to be found, are going to
bring a strong aggregation OF ball
tossers here and that the batteries
they will bring will be especially
strong.
This being so, the local fans had
best get their seats in advance for the
crowd will be a big one and seats VIII
be at premium.
The Red Birds are losing no sleep
over the reputation of the Postals
but will simply go out and play bal
to their best ability with the deter
mination that if the visitors go home
winners, they will have worked fol
the victory.
The management of the Red Birds
may have some surprises in store TO-
even the local fans when the line vi
is made public and they will be pre-
pared to give a good account of them
selves in the coming series-and don
anybody forget that either.

BIG AUDIENCE
HEARS REPORT
TOmbigbee River Matter Given
Impetus at This Meeting.

One of, If not the largest and
decidedly the most enthusiastic
citizens meeting ever held in CO.
lumbus was the meeting at the
City Hall Thursday evening last,
to hear the report of Capt. G. A.
Johnston and |. H. Sykes, upon
their return from Washington,
d. G.
Owing to the late arrival of
the President of the Progressive
Union, Mr.. E. r. Sherman was
asked to preside.
The Chairman stated t b g
object of the meeting and called
upon Capt. Johnston for his re-
port.
Capt. Johnston's report was
full and complete covering in its
entirety the Committees recep-
ton, not only by Mr.. Gambler,
but as we'll by the Mississippi
and Alabama Delegation at
Washington. He said in part
that Mr.. Gambler was at the Ho-
tel on their arrival at 10 p. 10.
Monday, and that conference
was had until after midnight;
that Mr.. Gambler said though
it was very unusual he had se-
cured a hearing for the Commit
tee before Mr.. Burton, Chairman
of the River and Harbor Com
mittee at 1:45 Tuesday. Mr..
Gambler was on hand promptly
at 9:30 Tuesday morning and
after another conference, q car
was taken to the Capitol. We
were introduced to the Speaker
of the House { Hon. Joe Cannon)
and to other prominent men,
Senators and Representatives.
The Mississippi, as well as some
of the Alabama delegation, were
very attentive to us and were
continuously by our side. That
promptly at 40 we were usher
ed into the August presence OF
Mr.. Burton, who at once said
Gentlemen, this is an unusual
procedure, and Il will insist that
you be very brief" Mr.. Sykes
then took up the Statement mat
ter and explained fully and, |
think, satisfactorily, in regard to
the items in his report, stating
that for the most part his state
ments were backed up by the
Government reports on Agricul-
tug Il, Census and Geological pa
pcrs, and therefore if the Gov
ernment reports were correct his
was correct. AS to the tonnage
he claimed and proved that his
estimate was rather too low, but
that he felt sure the tonnage
given was sufficient to satisfy
any demands of the River and
Harbor Committee and that he de
sired to keep we'll in bounds, that
of necessity such reports were
in a measure estimated, that the
Local Engineer at Mobile stated
in his report that he was unable
to get the Tonnage Statistics and
that he had sent one of his men
to interview Mr.. Sykes on this
matter and that Mr.. Sykes show
ed him that his figures were fur
nished by reliable, well-informed
parties. Capt. Johnston then
said he spoke on the great needs
of this Improvement and that the
engineer at Mobile had laid
down the gap when he said in
terested parties had in plain lam
guage misrepresented facts. That
he was prepared to show that in
terested parties had made un-
favorable reports, but that they
were the parties Interested in
not having the River improved.
Capt. Johnston made a very
happy speech and was heartily
applauded.
Before taking his seat the Cap
tain said he desired to state that
he had never supported Mr.. Can
dIer, but had in fact used his

a result would certainly elimi-
nate the troublesome COMPETE
tor and protect the manufacture
er, but if the States should not
respond with adequate laws, the
phiIanthropist would still have
to appeal to State action. There
IS no plan however chimerical
that has not its advocates. Un-
der the pratense of regulation,
Interstate commerce is to be pro-
| hibited. The domestic affairs OF
! tire state in relation TO the SUBJ
jsct- matter Of commerce, before
lit has ever begun an interstate
movement, are to be subiected to
natiobal control; not with any
honest intent Of legitimately ex-
crossing a power, but for the
perfectly transparent purpose OF
perverting the use OF power, to
effect by indirection, what Con-
gress has no right under the
Constitution to do.
Chief Justice Marshall said:
'sIt is a general rule, that what
cannot be done directly from de-
feet OF power, cannot be done in
directly"
Wayman V. Southard, 10
Wheat, 90.
And again:
"Should Congress, in the ex-
ecution of its powers, adopt
measures which are prohibited
by the Constitution; or should
Congress, under the pretext of
executing It's powers, pass laws
for the accomplishment of OBJ
jects not entrusted to the gov
ernment; It would become the
painful duty of this tribunal,
should case requiring such
decision come before it, to say
that such an act was not the law

Wheat, 3I6, 423.
Under modern conditions for
tunes beyond the dream Of avar-
ice accumulated with phenome-
nal rapidity. Envy and discon-
tent are aroused. Many regard
such vast aggregations Of wealth
under one control, as dangerous
70 the general welfare, and
threatening to our social and po-
itical institutions. The federal
Constitution is scanned for "a
remedy, and the taxing power is
invoked. 1t is proposed to curb
the evil by the imposition of
an inheritance tax. No end
however desirable, should be
sought by an abuse of power
The perversion of a constitution
al power violates the integrity of
the Constitution. The power to
tax is the power t. destroy, but
not a power conferred for the
purpose of destruction.
While the limitations of the
purposes for which taxes may
be levied by Congress address
themselves to the Legislative dis
cretion rather than to judicial
determination, the bounds set by
the Constitution are none the less
binding. The taxing power of
Congress is limited to raising
revenue for paying the debts,
and providing for the common
defense and general welfare of
the United States.
Mr.. Hamilton and Mr.. Jeffer-
son both agreed in the construc-
ton that "Congressis not to lay
taxes ad libitum for any purpose
they please; bat only to pay the
debts and provid for the welfare
of the Union. In like manner
they are not to do anything they
please, to provide for the gener-
al welfare, but only to lay taxes
for that purpose"

BOLD, BAD FRESHIES BEAT SOPHS.
Juveniles Win Flag Rush and Defend 1911
Cap on Columbia Pole.

Columbia freshmen accomplished feat ye-ter-
dav morning that only freshman class at Co
lumbia has ever accomplished before when. in
hot fight on South Field the - captured the flag
from the sophomores in the annual flag rush.
The sophomores. seventy-fve strong. grouped
themselves around the pole South Field
the top Of which foated the 1910 flag. The fresh
men approached the place in two companies on the
run. and with superior numbers overwhelmed their
heavier opponents. Some of the heaviest in
the class picked up George Pauison. who comes
from fremont, and hurled him the heads OF
those struggling around the pole. He grasped the
arms and wing himself to the flag seized IT,
AS the 1911 men withdrew to South Field to cele
brate their victory, somebody placed freshman
cap at the top of the pole. THIS was signal for
the sophomores attack again. but they
pulsed. BY virtue of their victory the freshmen
will be allowed to carry canes and smoke pipes.
Young jay Gould in the front rank when the
freshmen lined up around the pole for the second
conflict sent several sophomores to the ground.
