hunger and thirst after righteousness
And there goes also a blessing to his

But the choicest blessings as is

THE HOUSE OF GOVERNORS,
Some Matters in Which 1t MIGHT Be
AeIoful,

There can be no question of the
need Of uniformity Of legislation. The
laws regulating marriage and divorce,
child labur, titles and conveyancing,
taxation, insurance ard nuursrous 9TH
er affairs, are, const.tutionally, mat
tiers Of State enactment. But the in
terests which are subjected to these
laws are national The affairs of a
majority OF the population Of the
country are interstate in their scope.
1t is not reasonable that these in.
terests should be subjected to the
ilconvenience-if nothing worse-cf
varying State regulation. Conditions,
which are developing every year, de-
mand uniform laws or the alternative
Of increasing Federal power. If the
State governments perform their full
duty in considering the interests Of
their constituencies, uniformity is pos
sible Federal legislation will be
necessary. If the house. of Govern
ors' can aid in accomplishing this
r~ult, it will be of service. But it
is to be noted that this service will
be performed BY developing the eff
fciency of the state power. not by
attacking the Federal government

How Long Do Dreams Last?

How long do dreams l&st? A Ger
man savant is investigating the mat
ter, but there is scarcely dolt who
could not give him points, and has
not dreamed centuries in seconds.
The dream, it may be stated, comes
in the few seconds before the awak-
ening, and has no relation to time
or space. This is clear enough to
the man who has ever been placed
under an anaesthetic for short while,
and found time and space eliminat ed.
