HARMON FOR STATE RIGHTS
Former Attorney General Warns
Against UsurpatiOn by Officials.
Declares the Constitution Is Simply
the Adaptation OF Ideas from
Various States.

Bowling Green KY, July 1.-THE Hon
Judson Harmon, of Cincinnati. in an ad-
dress before the Kentucky Bar Associa-
tion here to-day, took occasion to sound
a vigorous note of warning against usur-
patton Of power by Federal officials and
to draw attention to the position Of au-
thority held by the people in both State
and national governments.
Mr. Harmon took for his subject: "E
Pluribus Unum He declared that the
Federal Constitution was not the crea-
ton of the convention that promulgated
it, but was the adaptation of the ideas
embodied in the various State constitu.
tons, which had been created by the
people, and that these ideas were for the
most part the best thought of the age
Continuing, he said, in part:
"It would be better to have no con-
stitution at all If its carefully chosen
terms are to be ignored or twisted and
stretched out Of shape by those who are
sworn to uphold it. whenever It stands
in their way. because we might then
work out some other plan for restraining
and controlling those We intrust with au-
thority over US, instead of drifting along
under the delusion that We already have
one"

MISS KELLEY SETS EXAMPLE
Untiring Application to Duty Wins
Her $4,000 Position.
First Woman Employed In Govern
ment Department TO Attain High
Salary Mark.

Under cover for the croaIers and de-
tractors Of feminine business acumen, to
the thickest fog for the befuddled brains
who disparage their maidenly energy and
aggressiveness. hip, hip Nor the ladies in
general, augmented by a long hurrah for
Miss Henrietta NJ Kelley. who is en-
ployed in the Office Of the Director Of the
Mint, and who viii hereafter receive q
salary of 5000 year It Is fine feather
in the cap Of the feminine workers in
government offices. and opens an unlim-
tied vista for their aspirations and a fine
field for their endeavors.
Miss Kelley is the first governmental
employe Of the feminine sex who has ever
achieved such a princely salary. It was
given to her by Secretary Of the Treasury
Cortelyou solely because her work entitled
her to that salary. She received s, 900 a
year until yesterday, and the officials at
the Treasury Department are hearty In
their congratulations.
George e. Roberts. the retiring Director
Of the Mint. who will assume the presi-
dency Of the Commercial National Bank
OF ChlcaSo, caiied the attention OF Sec
retary COrtelyOu TO Miss KeIley's busi-
ness qualifications and devotion to duty.
and although few women in the govern
ment service receive more than $1,000. he
thought Miss Kelley's work demanded
greater recognition.
There IS no doubt but that the Secre-
tary's action will have the effect of en-
couraging every woman in the govern
ment service, and the feeling is said to
