as long as the character of interstate commerce is attached to the commodity; but whenever it reaches the possession of the consgnee then it falls under the control of the states. Congress has re- gently attempted the regulation of inter state traffic in this commodity by pass ing a measure embracing two provisions, and the credit for first proposing these is due to nay friend, Congressman Brantley of Georgia. These requirements are that the packages containing such commodi-. . ties shall be so marked and branded as to indicate their contents, and that every collect on delivery consignment from one state to another shall be a bona fide con signment.
 It seems to be generally accepted among lawyers who have given thought to the subject that the refusal to permit the pay ment of the federal tax required of liquor dealers in any community or part of the United States while the law requires the payment of this tax of such dealers ev- anywhere else would render the whole law obnoxious to the provision of the consti- tuition which requires that taxes shall be uniform throughout the United States. Of course Congress could repeal the whole law requiring taxes of liquor dealers, and that would leave the case just where 1t is now namely, without federal license to carry on local business contrary to the laws of a state, and the only change in the status of the case would be the loss of revenue to the government on account of the loss of such internal revenue taxes.
 Legislative Abuses.
 Without mentioning numerous legisla- tive abuses, let us say the multiplication of unnecessary federal laws ought not to be encouraged, for we can subscribe to the wise observation made by one of the profoundest students of government, Sem ator Bailey, who said that "a-fat statute book is sign of national decay
 But not to finger here, let me suggest at once the importance of looking mar rowly at, while We uphold with all due

essary to give such a power to the fed eral government, because Alabama and every other state in the union now pro hibits and punlshes, not only polygamy, but bigafny as well. This is upon the be- lief, of course, that 1t is best for the fam fly relation, and therefore best for socie- ty that such offenses be denounced and prevented. For myself, believe that any man ought to be happy to form a part nership with one good woman, and I am sure that In no one case ought several good women to have to bear with the self-assertion and the assumed lordly su- periority of any one man.
 Right of Suffrage.
 At another time there came other good women advocating federal law conferr- ing the right of suffrage upon their sex. It seemed with them to be no answer to be told that the respective states now have the power to confer this privilege upon women, as several of them have done, and that they should therefore make their appeals to the different states.
 In the last Congress an association of automobilists applied to Congress to en- act law imposing a federal tax upon au- tomobiles for the purpose of giving license to operate automobiles between and through the different states, under such an act so Semed as to deny to the states the right to levy tax upon or require a license for the operation of automobiles within the boundaries Of the state. A professor of law in an eastern university headed the delegation before the commit tee having Jurisdiction of the bill and gravey argued it's constitutionality.
 Again, Congress has been appealed to to propose constitutional amendment providing for the federal regulation of marriage and divorce. The answer is that 1t is not the business of Congress, but il is the business of the states, to regulate domestic relations. Our religious infiu- ences must-of themselves in part. and the laws of the states--minimize as fai as 1t Is possible to minimize any evil, the evil of divorce

When Webster Acted as Cook.

Recently there came into the posses
sion of Boston collector of marine
paintings picture representing the pi-
lot boat Friend
This vessel is recalled by few of
the older pilots and sea captains of Bos-
ton as in the feet of Boston pilot boats
before the war. Indeed, she dated from
1S4T. and her service off this port in fair
weather and foul, summer and winter
carried her successfully through nearly
a quarter of century. When she had
outlived her usefulness as pilot boa,
and larger schooners had made her OBJ
solete in the service. she was sold and
entered other fields of usefulness.
One of the most interesting facts about
the Friend is that she was Used by Dan
lei Webster and his associates in recre
alton for their outings down Boston har
Dor. of which they had many. On those
occasions Webster made the fish chowde

The Frat in the Schools.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Strange to
say, the fight against the fraternal
societies In the public schools still
goes on. 1t is a sign OF weakness
that there could or should evershave
been fight over this matter The
simple order of the school authorities
ought to have settled it. But evident
ly there have been several parties to
blame. The fraternity must have
found its way into the high schools
through some teachers with more en-
thusiasm than discretion, who over
valued the part which the Greek Let
ter society plays in college life and
who were unable to grasp the differ
ence, between, a college or uniyer-
SHY and a city school, And then
school boards and school officers have
! been to blame for a hating, shifting
policy, instead of being firm and in
sisting upon it that the Frat must
go" And finally, as is SO frequently
the case, the parents of many of the
/; youngsters have been to blame. In
stead of unfolding the school author
tiles they have upheld the youngsters
in their rebellion and have never
| thought 1t worth while to consider
what the "Frat" meant and what il
was doing, and that the Frat" was
undermining the authority of the
home, just as it was setting to naugh
the authority of the school. The wise
parents, even if they had looked upor
the Frat with favorable eye, would
have upheld the school authorities
And if they had, there would be NJ
fight against the "Frats" in the low;
high schools, for there would be Mt

Will Ask You Next Sum-
mer Decided On.
80 POINTS ON POPULATION
Arrangements Made for Convenience
in Collecting and CompiI-
ling the Data.

WASHING ton, D. c., Dec. 2o.-The
United states census population
schedule which will be carried by the
enumeraprs during the thirteenth de-
cennial omitted States census, April Is
next, contains 80 questions concerning
every nan. woman and child in this
coutry Fhe total of whom is expected
TO reaqh the number of 10000, 600
The preparation of the population
schednle engaged for the past few
months In joint consideration of AS
sistans Director Willoughby, William
c. hunt, the United States census
chief statistician for population. and
ProE William B. Bailey, the Yale in
structor in political economy. a promi-
nent member of the census bureau adj
Visory board of statisticians, ETC., who
later was commissioned supervisor Of
census for the state of Connecticut.
The schedule has been approved By
Census Director Durand. and in its
nnal form will be 16x23 inches in size,
printed front and back, with so lines
on each side, one for each person
enumerated. The government printing
office will print 1900 900 copies. so as
to give each of the $50 supervisors If
census an ample supply to meet all the
needs of about $1,000 enumerators wao
will enumerate the population in April
next
The paper on which the schedule
will be run of will be flrst-quality
white writing, 23x32 inches, GA pounds
to the ream, the total weight being
230,4C0 pounds. The entire edition will
be printed on web press, which will
print two Of the schedules, face and
back, each revolution at the rate of
5000 an hour 1t will take about six
and a half days for the press to print
the 100000, running 16 hours a day.
More Convenient Form.
The schedule paper is very heavy
and will stand a great deal of handling.
The form Of the schedule is more con
venient than that used ten years ago,
and the two pages are so spaced that
when the schedule is placed in the
card-puncking machine, each time Il
card has been punched. the ratchet
wheel automatically moves the schel-
ME up one line. and all the operator
has to do IS to operate the keys on the
punching machine.
For this stage of the compilation of
the population statistics 1872 100000
manila cards have been ordered for the
card-punching machines.
The 80 questions are classified I'M
Ger IS groups.
The first is location, and under this
