gated blythe constitution and are moi
now under laws made under the au.
thority of and conforming to the con.
stitution.
But what is the position Of the
Democracy now headed by Free Sill
yer Bryan upon this question It Aas
dragged out OF the cobwebs again?
That party endeavors 10 straddle the
Constitution in order to manufacture
a political issue out OF state rights,
and completely fails In the effort.
Even both the state and federal gov
ernments are recognized as possess
ling separate and distinct functions.
But where are the specific facts OF
encroachment upon states rights?
Are they to be found In the socialis-
tic doctrines not long ago enucleated
by the party's present leader when
he advocated national government
ownership of all the big properties
In the country that hands could be
laid upon?
The Democrats declare they are
opposed to the Capitalization i'm
piled in these suggestions, now fire.
quently made, that the powers of the
general government should be extend
ed" because they believe that with
Jefferson. Now, IL they are in ac-
cord with Jefferson, they openly stand
insincere in their utterances. When
Jefferson was president the Demo-
cratic party dt was then known as
the Republican party) did not fail to
stretch to the utmost all the auhor-
lily the Constitution could be con-
strued to be allowed to the executive
and the federal government generally.
The boldest step that was ever taken
by president of the United States
was by Mr.. Jefferson himself when he
purchased from France, the territory
of Louisiana without the authority OF
the Congress.
If the Democrats believe in weaker
and less effectual measures for the
prevention of abuses and violations
of federal laws. they have a tendency
to oppose unified governmental
law. Instead of making this Ameri-
can nation stronger and bigger and
keeping 1t in its influential position
among the nations OF the world SO 1t
can extend the benefits of modern,
civilized government to other peoples
thereby. the Democrats want to tear
1t down, make it weaker, less power
full and finally have 1t truckle to 9TH
er nations more powerful IN world
affairs. They show themselves blind
to the proper distinction of federal
and state laws and they violate a
law of reasoning by en-
deavoring to merge one into another.
State rights as at present advocat-
ed by Bryan and his followers is a
bunco game, dished up in efforts to
fool the people. All In all. the DIFF
ference between Republican and
Democratic party stands upon this
question is about like this: The Re-
publicans believe in the Constitution
of the United States and In the integ-
rity and unity of the national govern
ment; the Democrats say they be-
lieve in the Constitution but think 1t
is wrong.

Alleged Spy a Myth

Editor of The Call: My attention
has been called to the article in you1
issue of yesterday relative to state
ments said to have been made in Salt
Lake City by one Jack Treadwe1 in
effect that Komada & Co. have a sales
man known as Matsasuzika, who says
he has been offered $3.50 a month to
act as spy in discovering the location
or the mines and descriptions of the
fortifications on the Pacific coast
desire emphatically to state that Ko-
mada q Co. have never had a salesman
named MatsaSuzika or of similar
name in their employ, nor do 1 know
Of any such person. AS I am president
such person was in its employ. The
entire story to me reads like a dream.
The company is engaged at San Fran
cisco III general merchandise busi-
ness, and neither it nor any of it's Off
GERS or employees has stopped or will
stoop so low as to engage in the con-
temptible acts referred to.
In conclusion, let me say that, in my
opinion, there is no cause to fear a war
between Japan and the United States.
The agitation, If there is in fact any.
is caused by irresponsible persons and
certain SO called yellow journals"
The new Japanese ambassador, Baron
Takahira, said recently that there was
no cause to believe that such a war
was even a remote possibility

Saturn's New Ring

Some exceptional features have char
acterlzed the recent disappearance of
the rings of Saturn, resulting from the
sun and the earth being temporarily on
opposite sides of the ring plane Though
theoretically invisible, several reliable
observers during the last three months
saw the rings a thin line of light
and 1t has been suggested this was due
TO the sun shining between the divi-
sions. From America, too, came the
sensational announcement that the
rings were "condensing" and falling in
on Saturn itself, and now comes a re-
port that Nd. Fournier. observing from
the Puy de Dome. France, has seen "a
faint, transparent and luminous ring
outside the exterior ring" which has
not before been noticed. Should this
new Saturnian appendage be real. in
stead OF the old rings breaking up, they
would appear to have developed an
other member of their wonderful sys-
tem.-Wes Wesminster Gazette

"Old' Furniture

highly ingenious device for putting

been told to a Manchester Guardian n

Welsh farmhouses on his books, in each
or which he had deposited for the use
OF the tenant, but also in the hope that
holiday people might desire to buy

old furniture invariably looks for worm
