Imperial Home Rule Associa-
ton Fails in Its
Plans.
FOR TRADE, NOT POLITICS.
ORGANIZATION WAS SUPPOSED
TO HAVE AS ITS OBJECT THE
RECONCILIATION OF POLITICAL
PARTIES.

Dublin, Nov. 21-Statements have
been circulated during the past few
weeks as to the founding of an Irish
Imperial Home Rule Association,
which, it is said, has an important po-
Gtical program to set before the coun-
cry, with the object of reconciling op-
posing parties in Ireland. 1t has not
vet been explained, however, how it is
proposed to find a common denomlna-
tor between unionism and home rule.
Much secrecy has been observed with
regard to the personnel of the associa-
ton. although the publication of names
Is promised at future date. The
genesis Of this association may, per-
haps, be guessed by those who are
able to read between the lines when
It is limited that, If its operations re-
suit in an increased trade between
Dublin and some provincial towns in
ireland, it's promoters would consider
that it has not failed altogether of it's
object. Unfonists in the capital, and
home rulers in the province would
thus have found common denominat-
or. The movement has made little or
no Roadway and, despite the efforts

DO not at present carry sufficient
weight to justify their publication.

that something should be done to pro-

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
AND THE CONSTITUTION

| import of the instrument. But since
then the republican party has not
changed the constitution or suggested
that it's powers be tempered with. An
organic law on which a nation of near
ly hundred million people rises to SUI
premacy seems to be pretty nearly
good enough. If the government of a
hundred million does not break it's
force and disclose it's deficiencies, it is
good for all time. Very clearly this
has not been done. The direct oppo-
site is true. The greater the popula-
ton and the wider its scope the more
efficient appears our national consti-
tuition.
That is a remarkable fact, and it is
a tribute alike to it's trainers and the
genius Of the republican party. What
the fundamental law of nation most
ly depends on for it's efficacy is vol
in character with it. In a very espec-
ial sense is that true of this country,
where policy is so potential. We have
shown along the lines of action of both
the democratic and republican parties
that it is as deep, if not SO original. as
the constitution. Policy, indeed has
either made or unmade the constitu-
ton. What is it today? The great
est instrument, said the first of Eng
lish statement, ever struck off by the
hand of man. Did the democratic
party ever elicit such eulogy for it?
No: the discovery of its powers was re-
served for the republican party. That
was the task set it by the pressure of
civilization. With what capacious
powers of achievement it met this

Constitutions Interpretation Sought.
One of the most interesting features
of American constitutional history is
that it reveals theadaptability and ca
pability of the political parties that
made it. When jefferson launched
hisorganization over a Hundred years
ago, the people were earnestly seeking

to do it. bu the failure of the democrat
ic party TO divulge the efficacy of the
organic law postponed its disclosure
until the succession OF parties was es-
tablished 1t was the artificial and
false treatment of strictly cons:ttu-
tional questions by the democrats that
revolutionized politics and brought
about succession. The democratic
party broke up the goernment Of the
constitution, which was the only visi-
BILE evidence of that instruments con-
structive character. There was no way
to counterfeit and atone for the disor-
ganizing policy of the democrats, ex-
cept to supersede 1t by strong organ
izing and centralizing policy. In that
alone was salvation. But 1t is this

During the late campaign w. j.
Bryan seems to have arraigned the re-
publican party for about everything
disreputable in politics. If he neg
lected any phase of dishonesty and
corruption it was evidently owing to
the range or limit of his magma
ton. But at no other point of assault
doubtless was he more conscious of
Misrepresentation and injustice than
in his charge that the republican par
ty does not represent the constitution
al thought of the country. That is alb
surd and manifestly false; and we
hardly expected stoop SO low from
even Mr.. Bryan, schooled and accom-
plished as he is in the heinous art of
sycophancy. If the republican party
thought of the United States. then
there is no such thing. 1t came in at
the death of the constitution, resur-
rected and revitalized it and has daz-
zled the world with it's powers. The
republican party and the constitution
will stand out together forever in his
tory in bold relief and overshadowing
proportion.
Constitutional power was effectually
a nullity before the succession of pol
itical parties. Thomas jefferson ques-
toned it and verbally assaulted it, and
John C. Calhoun put it to the test.
When a young congressman he forced
the issue beween the state and the ma
tional constitution. These men are
original and the very highest authori-
ty on state and national law. Their
wisdom and instruction are canonical.
No devotee presumes to question or
take issue with them. Their word is
law and it is fundamental in the DEM
ocratic political system. Jefferson and
Calhoun are as potential in the poll
tics of the democratic party of today
as they were in the same party when
alive And while the democracy en-
dures they will live in it's platforms
and policies. What contributions did
they make to republican government:
Did their party under them make our
national constitution an inyiolable and
supreme law unto all nations? 1t did
not make it inviolable to this nation.
Then as a matter of course it validity
did not amount to much abroad
Then il the republican party does
not represent the constitutional
thought of the country this fundamen-
tai mass of intellectually is in the
very sad plight Of having no represent
alive This conclusion Mr.. Bryan will
no doubt frankly admit for he surely
has not the effrontery and impertin-
ence to presume that it has an advo-
cate in the democratic party. And no
excepting the short federalist and
whig regimes has ever had whack at
the constitutional question. The en-
tire elucidation of 1t. covering cen
tury has been made by the leading par
ty of today. One made q failure OF it,
SO utter so dismal, that 1t was driven

tize, and the explanation of his atti-
trend of the party's thought and ac-
ton.
The inclination of the republican
party he says is to eliminate the line
of limitation that the constitution
draws about national power. This of
course is a Misrepresentation. The
purpose of the republican party is not
to erase this line of limitation. but to
show the liberality and amplitude Of
it. In the constitution is provision for
the plan and operation of the govern
ment, and toward these ends all it's
powers are directed. There was no
centralizing nation until ordained by
the constitution. he forces gathered in
the constitution were creative, but
they were creative of nothing except
the federal government. They did not
make states. Nor did they make any
thing else in the form of political or
ganization except the American repub-
lie. When you comprehend that you
grasp the intent and scope of the con-
stitution It is ont law of statehood
but of nationality, and it was the need
of great popular nation that called
it into being and action.
The restriction then that the repub-
lican party is endeavoring to obliterate
the legal limit of federal power has no
validity. The truth of the matter is a
dominant political party can not trans
cend its authority in amplifying the
constructive and Commemorative quail
ties of the fundamental law. In doing
this it simply aids or empowers the
constitution to fulfill its destiny. II
was the disregard Of this truth by the
democratic party thta inflicted this
country with seetionalism and civil
war And still that party repeats is
utter disregard of ii. 1t is not in SYM
pathetic touch with constitutional law
and is bound to make a wreck of gov
eminent proceeding from it. Nothing
In the field of political action can be
tmade satisfactorily successful unless
the nature and trend of it are duly
considered. Here is where the repub-
lican has the advantag Of the demo-
cratic or any other party. 1t sees in

ROGERS BACKS MOVEMENT.
OIL MAeNATE REPORTED TO BE
INTERESTED IN PLAN TO LIFT
FROM BOTTOM OF OCEAN GOLD
BURIED 143 YEARS.

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 21.-H. II.
Rogers and Alvah CroeKer. the Pitts
burg paper manufacturer, are said to
be among the stock holders of the
Southern Research Company, other
wise band of young Harvard adven-
turers, who have set sail for the South
seas, bound on a second attempt to re-
cover from the bottom of the ocean a
treasure which they hear has lain off
the coast of Jamaica for 143 years in
the wreckage of a Spanish galleon.
r. A. Derby of this city, organizer of
the venture and authority for these
statements, has sailed for Jamaica af-
ter telling Of rival English company
now fitting out in England, which it is
necessary to head off.
The new American expedition, like
the first which met with disaster. is
under the command of Guy Skull of
Boston who sailed with a crew fully
armed in the three masted schooner
command is Roger Derby, who played
on the Harvard football team in 1904.
He embarked on the Admiral Dewey
of the United Fruit company line,
from this port for Kingston, where he
will charter a boat and join the
schooner at the reef where the treas
ure is supposed to lie.
The first expedition embarking from
this port early in October in the old
cup defender Mayfower. ran into a
gale which reduced the Mayfiower to
a derelict on the high seas. The crew
escaped only through a chance en-
counter with a passing fruiter.
But the second expedition is better
organized and better equipped than the
first. On the first each man was in,
dependent: now each has signed pa

discipline.

make up the crew. Each carries a Al
caliber revolver: there are eutlasses
and carbines in the hold, and in the
last few weeks every man of the expe-
dition has practiced target shooting

regulations which govern with abso-
lutte certainty the printing of each
piece of paper.
AT first glance one piece of paper
money looks very much like another.
Each is an example of the finest steel
engraving, more skillfully made and
more difficult to counterfeit than the
throes of any other government
There are five kinds of paper money
printed. The sort that people are
most familiar with is the silver certi-
ficate. for almost all the one, two and
five dollars bills are that form. They
are printed chiefly as matter of con
venience to the public. for the public
prefers paper money to the coin. The
amount of of paper money outstand-
ing is between eighteen and nineteen
hundred million dollars, and of that
amount there are four hundred and
seventy-seven million dollars in gold
certificates.
Although the government prints
gold and silver certificates so freely
Their are only two ways by which they
may be issued and become part OF
the money stock of the country. II
any person deposits with the govern
ment gold or silver coin, or gold bull
lion, the government may issue silver
certificates for gold col or bullion; or il
any one returns worn certificates, like
certificates may be issued to replace
the old ones which are in turn being
destroyed.
Life Of Money.
A dollar bill has the average life OF
about II months. Two dollars bills
not being SO actively used. last on the
average more than Is months. A five
dollar bill lives an average of two
years before it is worn out and the
government is called upon to replace
it. Ten dollar bills last about three
years, and twenty dollar bills more
than four years.
The amount of money that goes to
the. government for redemption, either
for the purpose of securing fresh
clean bills or for conversion into
some other form of money, reaches q
total almost too great to comprehend
In 1904 the government received
1911 100000 of paper money to be ex
changed for new bills, or for some
other form or denomination.

No man in recent years has been
more successful in restoring human
health than l.. r. Cooper. During his
stay in Chicago. and while he was
meeting thousands of people daily, he
gave the following reason for the re.
markabIe demand for his medicine to
a reporter:
Mr.. Cooper said: MY New Discov-
cry is successful because it corrects
the stomach. My theory is that few
can be sick if the digestive apparatus
is working properly. 1t naturally fol-
lows that few can be we'll with a poor
digestion.

does this. That is why fifty thousand
people here in Chicago are using it
who never heard of me until a month
ago."
Among the fifty thousand mentioned
by Mr.. Cooper who used his medicine
in Chicago is Mrs. Hilda P%fueger, liv-
ing at 1903 AinsIie Avenue. This is
the statement she makes concerning
her experience with the medicine:
