A GOOD CONSTITUTION.
But They Didn't Know Everything.
Down in Philadelphia.


The constitution made by our fathers
was mighty good thing. 1t was a
product Of their experience and wisdom
1t was adapted to their times, and on
the whole has been suited to ours. But
1t has proved lame in important par
ticulars. Plainly written as it was, diff
ferences Of opinion as to its meaning
brought about the most terrible civil
war of modern times. We can't agree
even yet what it means. The reason is
our wishes and opinions change con-
tinually with the progress of the suns;
and one group or another Of the people
try to read into the constitution what
they wish to find there. The average of
these opposing views and wishes-in
mathematical language, their resultant
lis the constitution itself; some parts
Of which are in the written instrument;
many or more of them in the unwritten
constitution. For every constitution in
the long run must be what the people
want 1t to be, and we carry along as
parts of the constitution many things
not written in it, and other things in
direct antagonism to it. In many par
ticulars the people of Oregon have been
disregarding their constitution these
many years; not only so, but directly
and purposely violating It,
This goes to show simply that we
think our ancestors, wise as they may
have been, yet didn't know 1t all. The
constitution they made was the best
they could do; but unquestionably, had
they lived in our time, the would have
made one different, in many ways. 1--WE
should venerate the wisdom of our an
cestors," says Cicero, "but we ought
not to make the mistake of supposing
that If they were in our position now
they would act in all matters as they
did then"
We never tire of praising "the coffee
mother used to make" and of lament
ing that we don't get such coffee now
But If we had it now we should think
it insipid stuff, and seek our coffee at
some restaurant downtown where they
know how to make it. Well, times
change, and we are changed with them

The Nuisance of Cats.

The most unpleasant and the most
distressing Of the much complained of
city noises is made by cats. Families
continue to leave their household cats
at large when leaving town for the
summer, in spite of offers from the
Bide-a-Wee homes of care and shelter
and from the Society for the Preven-
ton OF. Cruelty to Animals of pain
less ending Of their troubles.
Nothing is cosier than a petted cat
nothing more pitiful and ghoulish
than stray street cat. The number
of these miserable creatures that go
mewing and prowling about in search
Of food is surprisingly large. Many of
them find their way to the parks and
are seen after dark looking for prey In
the trees. 1t is pretty hard for tired
people on these hot summer nights to
be reused out of their sleep and kept
awake by the almost fiendish noises Of
famished or fighting cats, Little chill
dren are startled and often frightened
SO that their weary mothers have
much ado to get them to sleep again.
In cases Of Hines the matter is parti-
cularly serious Trained nurses often
have reason to complain of 1t bitterly
on behalf Of their patients
1t is Certainly a mistaken humanity
that restraints the killing off Of wretch
ed animals that makes night hideous
Another feature of this nuisance is the
constant torment that the cats are
subjected to by cruel boys. Still an
other is the flghts-often melted by
boys-between cats and dogs. Owners
of cats should shut them in the cellar
or kitchen at night. The Board Of
Health and the Society for the Proven
ton Of Cruelty to Animals should see
to it that the cat population is speedily
diminished -New York Tribune.

IMMIGRATION UNCHECKED.
The New Law Has Not Diminished the
Number of Prospective Citizens.

The tide of immigration to the
United States has not been checked
in the slightest degree by the increase
Of the head tax on each immigrant
from 81 to 81. Europeans who believe
that they viii live under vastly better
conditions in the New World will not
be influenced to remain in Europe be-
cause the tax has been raised to ST.
Probably the intention of congress was
to make the immigrants pay a larger
share of the cost Of administering the
migration service. The new law went
into effect on June "a last. There is
nothing in it's provisions to exclude an
migrant in ordinary health from the
United states provided there is rea-
sonable assurance that he viii not be-
come public barge Every year we
are aking substantial additions to our
population through immigration.
Among Europeans of the immigrant
class race suicide is unknown In
New England the increase Of popula-
ton is largely among immigrant fami-
Hes or among the descendants of such
families. Statistics of poulatlon in
Connecticut published q few days ago
showed that the old New England
stock is not being replenished Sixty
years ago there we're few immigrants
in New England, and the arrival of
one from Italy, Spain or France was
the subject of comment in the smaller
towns. Since that period New Eng
lands sons have been factors In the
development of every part Of the Unit
ed States. They are found in the Mid
die west, the far west, the south and
the great States of New York and
Pennsylvania, In every New England
State immigrants from Europe have
| established themselves. They have
multiplied and increased exceedingly.
BY the middle of this century it is
probable that the native stock will no
! longer predominant. 1t is one Of the
! most Interesting and significant evolu-
lions in American sociology. An
! American commission is now studying
the immigration problem, its research
es including Investigations of condi-
tions In Europe as well as conditions
in this country. Whatever its conclu-
sfons may be, there is no probability
of drastic restrictions by congress in
| the early future.-Baltimor Sun.
