TAFT ON STATES RIGHTS

In Speech Before lar Association Dis
cusses eln.i0ns OF State and Nation.
NEW YORK. February 29.-Eement
of things political did not enter into
the speech delivered by Secretary OF
War Taft tonight at the annual din
ner Of the Brooklyn Bar Association,
at the Union League Club. Brooklyn.
Suiting his talk to the occasion. he
expounded his views on Tho Consti.
tuition Of the United States" In an ad-
dress often broken by applause from
his big audience OF lawyers.
Secretary Taft declared that he did
not share In tho views expressed by
critics on "the change which has come
over our form OF government by the
increase of the national and the de-
crease of tho State powers under the
Constitutions"
Il thing on the whole" he said that
IN. me = division Is of power between the
admirably maintained. and and that hat this this
kas been possible because 1t has been
ultimately left In most instances to
the decision OF tribunal less subject
to political Influences than any. other
branch of our government. and with
opportunities for maintaining a con-
siste>S view from the foundation OF our
than that enjoyed by any other au-
thority in either State or national gov
ernment. 1t Is quite true that in cer-
tain ways the national power has been
increased by amendment to the Consti-
tuition, not affirmatively. but by pIac-
ing further restrictions on the exercise
by the State of its admitted power over
certain subject matters"
The secret1ry expressed the convic-
ton that it. was plainly in the power
of Congress to provide by law for pro-
lection of aliens in their treaty rights.
in this connection he said:
.(.ertaintv COnPrPsS ought to take
some steps directly authorizing the
executive to use the forces at his COM
mand to protect the treaty rights of
OF the United staies WITH power TO
punish the person who would violate
such alien rights

You Never Saw Lydia.

Prom the Baltimore sun.
Lydia Thompson-do you remember her?
Lydia has just passed away from this
shrine of mortal tears. If you were young
thirty years ago you need not be remind
ed of her: for Lydia blazed across the
country with troupe of English
blondes that left light streak clear
across the map.
That was before the day of Salome; be-
fore the Midway P1aisance; even before
Lillian Russell, SO it must have been a
long time ago. But the baldhead row was
just as crowded then as it is now. and the
crop of chorus girls was not a fraction OF
the present production. So they were vast
~ more interesting, and the Lydia
Thompson aggregation created more eX-
element among the gilded youth of that
opera girls could stir up now. She was
so very. very naughty. She was so dan
gerous to youth, SO demoralizing to mid
die age She was really the menace OF
men.
Not that Lydia was SO very naughty
for the country has been shocked SO often
since her time that 1t has grown blase
and Lydia would now be driven into play
ing Ibsen or Bernard Shaw matinees.
But Lydia was q thriller in her time. A
good many Of the dignified old men OF
now were young once upon time. They
had their ding. and toasted Lydia In
hundred glasses. Ali, youth! 1t was
long ago, when the world was young. and
there was a dance in every tune; wher
the songs rang merrily and there were ne
dregs in the worlds wine. All the men
who cheered and toasted Lydia know
citizens, and wouldn't take second look
nj any actress that ever shocked a callow
youth: but in Lydia's day the world wal
younger, and men were not so wise.

SQUIRREL "BLuFFs" R4ccooNs
Whipped Them When They Were

From the Minneap polls Tribune.
Size doesn't count, IL one may judge by
the manner in which dainty little ninety
pound blond can boss around her steady
"car fare a ferocious looking six-footer
who could hold at bay three ordinary
men. Neither does size count If you ring
In u timely bluff on the other fellow.
So thought an old. diminutive, bald
headed. comical looking gray squirrel
when two baby raccoons were placed in
his cage about a year ago by local
saloon man who has quite menagerie.
He scratched his head in a puzzled
fashion. as though trying to remember
where he had met others of their species.
Evidently he remembered. and also called
to mind that they were the fiercest of
the smaller animals who made night hid
eous in his native woods. His deduc-
tons were not at all pleasing when he
considered that in the future he must
share the domicile of which he had long
been master with these fiery little fighters.
But that time they were very small
raccoons and not very wise. Therefore
the gray squirrel ran" stupendous

Read President a Lesson.

Eckstromer got into his difficulty with
the state Department through champion
ing the cause Of E. G. Lewis of the Lewis
publishing Company of st. Louis, which
had come into conflict with the Post Office
Department when George B. Cortelyou
was Postmaster General
Eckstromer came to Washington to see
President Roosevelt early in April, 1907.
to make personal plea with him in the
matter. He was informed by the Presi-
dents private secretary, Mr.. Loeb. that
matter. and he was advised to put in writ
ing whatever he might desire to lay be-
fore the President.
The letter which cost him his eXequa-
tUr resulted. In it Eckstromer wrote TO
the President that he was Swede of
noble birth, and had given UP his patent
of nobility to come to America because
he believed this to be a country of per-
sonal freedom.
In Sweden he went on to say. even a
peasant might see the King. Therefore
he considered the Presidents course in
refusing to see him as un-American and
unjust.
The letter made Eckstromer diplomatic
ally persona non grata. The State De-
partment revoked his exequatur.
Mr. Eckstromer visited Washington. and
after conferences with A. Ekengren n,
Swedish charge daffaires. wrote an apol-
ogy to President Roosevelt. This was
left with Acting Secretary Bacon at the
State Department. together with other
documents bearing on the case. Mean
while Herman Won Lagerkrantz became
minister of Sweden to the United States.
and he was notified that the exequatur
would be reissued to EckstrOmer II the
Swedish government would so request.
Mr.. Lagerkrantz transmitted the case to
Stockholm. with the ultimate result that
Eckstromer was restored to Office, July
81, 1907

and uueauivocal signs of feminine eman-
cjpation we are in a position to predict
the ruin Of the ancient family orgaq[a-
ton. AS soon as the authority OF the
head OF the family has collapsed all else
will collapse and this new state of
things will require a new system or

formers published his commentaries On
the Chinese classics, giving broad and
liberal Interpretation to the teachings OF
Confucius and his disciples. He showed
that the sages, far from condemnfng

fragile in the morning. and to further
impress upon them that welcome was
not written on his doormat he repeated
the thrashing in the afternoon. For sew
eral days, according to the liquor dis
penser. the squirrel whipped the 'coons
before meals. and sometimes gave them a
reminder of his ability by way Of a good
night.
The raccoons have been in the cage with
the squirrel now for almost a year. Their
weight is about twelve pounds each. while
the squirrel would not tip the beam at
three. The squirrel is old and toothless
and the 'coons have sharp teeth and
sharper claws. But the bluff still holds

to dine upon the floor of the cage the
raccoons beat q hasty retreat. and the
squirrel only has to spring at them to

is in no way better proved than by the
failure of man to profit by the experience
Of his ancestors in their futile attempts
to regulate feminine attire. Women. as
respects fashion. occupy higher world"
into which men are not privileged to
enter. When will the ruder sex learn dis
erection and abstain from criticism that
merely reflects it's helplessness to alter
