Behring's Consumption Cure.

Behring's Consumption Cure.
At last Berlin hears that its famous
Professor Behring has instituted a
course of instruction to certain doctors
in the introduction of his system Of
antituberculosis treatment. The dem
onstrations are given at the various
sanitaria in Germany, and doctors who
wish to employ the new treatment
must attend, as no one is intrusted
with the preparation unless they have
qualified under his w supervision.
This is the secret remedy which was
announced a year or two ago at the
Paris meeting of the tuberculosis con-
gress, and which Professor Behring at
that time said he was not yet ready to
introduce. Great things are expected
Of it.

Next day the report Of the committee
DECLARING Smoot not entitled to his seat
WIS rejected by a vote Of AZ to %, nine
Republicans joining the Democrats
against Smoot and three Democrats
standing with the administration for
him. 1t was noted that two members
of the committee, Depew and Dolliver,
who had signed the report, now
changed their minds and voted against
it. In the closing debate before the
vote Dubois denied the statement
made by Knox that polygamy in Utah
had ended. He said strong influences
were at work and that the president
was the open friend of Smoot. He
told the Republican side that they had
got the Mormon vote, but at the ex-
pense Of the moral support Of the
Christian men and women Of the Unit
ed States" Beveridge said that the
millions of petition signers against
Smoot expressed the sentiment Of a
misinformed public, and Foraker said
that Smoot had proved a better char
acter than any other senator had Il
right to claim. Smoot was indeed: SO
good a mar that he almost doubted
him, having none Of the ordinary vices.
Shoots victory is understood to- mean
his permanent detention in the senate
by the Mormon church. ..
japanese Exclusion a Fact.
With the presidents signature to the
new immigration bill the solution of
the japanese exclusion problem in Cal
ifornia is made possible through the
provision granting authority to, the
president to exclude Japanese and GER
tain other alien laborers who come to
the United States without passports.
In the senate the bill had encountered
opposition for three days, led chiefly
by Tillman, Bacon, Carmack and Cul-
berson, who voiced the opposition Of
the south to the principle of foreign
treaty rights taking precedence over
state authority. Senator Carmack ars
raigned the president for being ''harsh
and truculent" toward California and
pusillanimous toward Japan. He
charged the president with speaking
softly to a foreign nation and carrying
a big stick against his own people.
Senator Beveridge was the chief de-
fender of the presidents policy. AS
finally passed the measure received
practically the full strength of the Re-
publican senators and was opposed by
the Democrats, except that La Fol-
lette voted with the Democrats and
McEnery with the Republicans.

Thee is DO record of how long Adam and Eve remained iu the Garden of Eden before they fell into tha, historic error from the effects of which we are all of us suGsriOg. T it was more than twelve months, however, is is safe to say they spent some part of the 3lst oI December in looking back over the period and regretting some things left undone and some others done. And thls, not forgetting that they still lived iu the Garden of Eden. If they were ordered away before the arSt year was rounded out then we can all understand how the whole of the Slss of December was spent by them-looking up at the blank wals and sulleu gates. And all the children of that unhappy couple have spent each recurring last day of the lOng procession of years since 10 tha, same way.

STATES RIGHTS.

States rights UP to date present
question that apparently demands some
attention in laying the groundwork for
future important policies. The case re-
ceives as simple and fair a statement
on both sides as one could wish in the
first installment Of the Bryan-Bever-
idge magazine debate. Mr.. Bryan
sustains states rights as essential to
the democratic principle of local self
government Centralized power he fears
as a step to despotism. He divides his
opponents into two classes, those who
favor Capitalization as principle, and
those interests that favor it as means
of escape from state interference.
Senator Beveridge considers the
United States an aggregation of people,
rather than a collection of states. He
would leave the states In charge of
their own local affairs, but would op-
pose allowing any theory Of states
rights to prevent national repression of
evils with which the states are unable
to cope alone, for example child labor.
Like Mr.. Bryan he divides his oppon-
ents into two classes, those who favor
states rights as principle, and those
interests which, like the trusts and the
beneficiaries of child labor, favor states
rights as a means Of immunity from in
reference with their plans. He shows
how this view has operated by consti-
tutional construction in the anti-lottery,
pure food and packing house laws.
Abstractions aside, Mr.. Bryan holds
to states rights in order to defeat such
powerful interests as hope to profit by
escaping efficient state control and in
order to encourage individual and local
independence. Mr.. Beveridge holds to
loose construction in order to defeat
great interests that hope to profit from
the inability of the states and the lack
of authority of the nation to regulate
them: and in order that a sense of CO.
herent nationality may be developed
Mr.. Bryan conveniently forgets his
states rights long enough to agree
with Mr.. Beveridge on the question of
national child labor legislation. Mr..
Beveridge could hold his Capitalization
views in allegiance long enough to op-
pose national control Of life insurance
under construction of the interstate
commerce clause. One goes over the
mountain, the other skirts its base. But
they meet on the other side, just as pa
triotic opponents on this line have
pretty generally been doing since
Washington's time
For the principle commonly practiced
by high minded statesmen and jurists
is that expressed by President Roose-
velt's epigram: Estates rights should
be preserved when they mean the peo-
pies rights, but not when they NEAR
