If Congressman Lilley is not elect ed it will not be the fault of the sym pathy workers, for they are working early and late to gain for their man good will and vote, of course, by trying to make the people think he has been abused. Our friend George must have good laugh on the side when he reads some of the stories that are told and printed about him. If he is such fighter as his friends say why didn't he stand by his guns at Washington when the submarine question was the issue? Perhaps ne is a believer in the saying that he who runs away may live to fight an other day. Speaking of the subma- rine investigation, we are told, now that ex-Governor Mclean has spoken, there is nothing more to be said against MT Lilley. We fail to see that Mclean has thrown any new light on the situation. He said few nice things about Congressman Lilley, but the official report is still in existence, and that is what will stand on the records long after Me- Leans speech has been forgotten. The ex-governor was brought here to say nice things about MT Lilley and the republican party. He performed his part in his usual quiet, suave and dignified manner, but we doubt if his address will change a vote, for Lil- ley's candidacy has given the op- ponents of machine rule and of Lil- ley the chance of lifetime, and the present outlook leads one to believe they are going to take advantage of if

Republican campaign managers have been endeavoring to create the impression that James Duncan, first vice-president of the American Fed eration of Labor, is not in sympathy with the labor movement advocated by MT Gompers, urging union labor to support its friends and defeat it's enemies in the present campaign. Mir Duncan was advised of this fact and asked to state his attitude in the matter. His reply is explicit and gives the lie to the republican man. agers who have been seeking to place him in false light MT Duncan said: President Gompers and I are in unison now, as we have been for many years, on the present as we'll as other principles and policies of the labor movement. l helped draft the recent circular, as we'll as programme of the executive council of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, and sup port them now as then. This is not partisan contention on the part of organized labor. Its interests have been assailed by judicial decision and the congress failed to give relief, and now an appeal for justice is made 10 all the people on broad general lines, and 1t is the duty of labor officials to give the true facts to the working people, who in turn will use the in- formation, and, as true American citizens, will vote on election day as their consciences dictate"

The new Australian tariff law will contain a provision imposing a tax of $24.33 on every improved gun bar rel entering that commonwealth. American firearm manufacturers, who now have an annual trade of about $200,000 in Australia, have the proper facilities in. this country for complying with the regulation, which requires that gun barrels shall have been "proof-tested" in order to avoid the s5 duty charge. The ar rangement In the United States for proving gun barrels intended for ex- port was devised by the bureau of ordnance of the war department five or six years ago at the Springfield arsenal, and the order is still in ef feet. This will enable the American manufacturers of firearms to com ply with the Australian law at com paratively small expense.

How IL Works,

Once there was a struggling youns
author who was blest with many
friends, all OF whom told him that he
was the coming great writer OF the
country.
So one day a bright thought struck
him. He said:
''I will publish my book. and all my
friends who admire It so much will buy
my book and will be rich"
So he printed his book.
And all OF his friends waited for
him to send them autographed copies
Of his book.
And 30 his books were sold as Junk
And ever after he didn't have any

EXTENSION OF FEDERAL POWER
Proposed Move Is Directly Opposed to
the Constitution.

The extension Of congressional ana
presidential authority in cases OF
doubtful constitutionalIty, as suggest
ed by Secretary Root in his address
before the conference of governors,
raises question of vast Importance to
the states and the nation. The Root
idea Is, as We understand II, that one
or more states, having an interest in
legislation by congress not authorized
by the constitution OF the United
States, may, through their legislatures.
ask congress to enact such legislation.
and thereby preclude any judicial In.
quiry as TO tho power Of congress in
the premises. In other words, the idea
is that particular states may slngly or
IN combination. enter into treaties
with the federal government, whereby
they may obtain special advantages
from the latter, without the concur
renee of other states.
This idea seems also to have the ap-
probation of the president, and that of
certain governors whose appetite for
mess of pottaEe outweighs their re
spoct for the birthrights of their states
Never was a more insidious suggestion
made by mortal man.
II is interesting TO recall some Of
the provisions Of the constitution
which bear upon this subject:
no state shall enter into any treaty
sllianCc or confederation.
80 new state shall be- formed or
erected within the jurisdiction OF an.
other state"
40 state shall be formed by the
junction OF two or more states, or
parts Of states without the consent Of
the legislators thereof, as well as OF
congress"
"Three,fourths Of the legislatures of
the states, or conventions Of three
fuurths Of the states, as congress shall
prescribe. may ratify amendments to
the constitution"
When the choice OF president
shall be dovolyed upon the house Of
representatives, the vote shall be taken
by states"
Now, suppose those states which are
eager for an appropriation from con
grcss for the establishment of the Ap.
palaChian forest reserve at the expense
Of their ncighbors, should each invite
congress to pass such a law as It de.
sircs on that subject. though more
than threefourths OF the states should
oppose It; and suppose Ave or six
states should combine or confederate,
with a view to securing such lcgisla.

election OF q president were thrown

which should agree to enact such leg.
islation in spite of all constitutional
limitations-would not this amount to
a revolution? Is there no ground for
suspecting that the insldious sugges
tion Of Mr. Root was made in view OF
the possibility that the election OF a
president may, as result OF the next
campaign, be thrown into the house OF
representatives To blibe those
