John ]. Hayes, the, Marathon cham
pion, was describing in New York the
enthusiasm that the Marathon race
caused amongst Americans in London
THAT race" said he, was the chief
motive that took us Americans abroad
last summer. Indeed, coming back on
the boat, I heard an almost incredible
story about the races attraction.
There was a very pretty girl aboard
who seemed unhappy. Her unhappi-
ness was due to her husband. She
was married to a rich but very old
man: he might have been her grand
father.
'She was a very frank sort of girl,
and she confided her marital troubles
to one of the ladies at her table. From
her condolences it was plain that the
aged husband was a brute.
but, my dear child said the lady,
what ever induced you to marry such
a MANI
well, you see,' said the girl, 7 was
so anxious to see that Marathon
race!""

ence to 1t would work a great deal on
tariff reform, and reduce many duties
by one half or more. Mr.. Van Cleave
in an article in American Interests
points out the necessity Of real but
reasonable revision, and quotes the
New York Journal CT Commerce as
saying:
THE president of the National As
ISOLATION of Manufacturers has is
sued a timely note of warning to
legislators who think that the re-
vision Of the tariff is a subject that
may be safely trif1ed with.
1t is quite seasonable reminder Cd
Mr.. Van Cleave's that any one who
supposes that he can safely assail
the patience Of the public is taking
gamblers chances. But while it is
desirable that the politicians should
heed the warning. it is doubly so that
the protected manufacturers should
not ignore it, The inevitable 'hereaf-
ter in politics may strike the law
makers in the congressional election
Of 1910, out if it does so it will be
the manufacturing interests for whose
benefit they have been instrumental
in robbing the people that will have to
pay the largest Part of the penalty.

It is the unanimous verdict Of the
New York press that in "Mary's Lamb,
Mr.. earle has furnished an entertain
ment that entertains; an entertainment
that is made up of tuneful music, wit
and wholesomeness in dialogue, and
above all else, his own welcome and
refreshing comedy. 1t is conceded that
as Leander Lamb this comedian with
the humorous legs has found not only
his most congenial role, but the best
opportunity of his career for the dis
play of his talent. He has surround

Mr.. earle ION his return to New York.
His reception has been enthusiastic
and he is now settled down to a sue
cessful summer season at the New

WASHINGTON'S WEALTH PRO-
DUCERS.

What this state does annually II
the way of producing wealth may be
seen in part by the statistics of the
farm crops for the past year. The es-
tsmated value of the states grain croc
last year was s29,728.O0O. The hay
crop in addition to this, was worth
s9,229,000. The total value of all of
the agricultural crops of this state for
the year was s42,012,00O. Yet agricul-
ture is but one of the industries CT Tho
state. Washington has great manufac-
turing industries and a world wild
commerce. It's lumber industry alone
PRODUCES but a trif1e less than the
value of its farm crops, and it's coz
mines and its fisheries produce many
additional millions. In it's ownership
OF shipping Washington ranks amons
the first of American states.
THESE are the substantial ground
upon which the growth of this state
rests. The state PRODUCES and sells
annually far more than it purchases

A NOBLE SPIRIT.

Every American citizen must feel
new sense of pride in his birthright at
the princely and spontaneous outpour-
ing of money and supplies for the re-
lief of a stricken people in their hour
of need. Other governments and other
nationalities are generous and broad,
but there is nothing equal to or ap-
preaching the prodigal ard matter-of-
fact way in which Uncle Sam goes
down into his capaciOuS pocket when
ever the necessity is great.
There are in our country ma
thousands of Italian citizens whose
hearts have been touched by the sad
news from the old country. There are
other thousands who are not Italians,
whose sympathy has been aroused by
the sad story of destruction and death.
There are indeed few, if any. who have
not been stunned and deeply touched
by the awful message that 'the dead
NAV number 200, 900" If the dead
nearly number 100000, there must be
even mere of the wounded the nome
less. the helpless and the hopeless. 1t
demands the sympathy of every heart
and the help of every hand. That
common brotherhood which holds hu-
mainly together is quite sufficient but
there are some special reasons
all should be moved by the misfor-
tunes of thdse comrades Of the sunny
land across the sea.

is AMENDMENT INVALID?

M. F. Norris formerly associate JUS
| tice in the court of appeals of the dis
| trict of columbia, contributes an article
| to the January number of The North
American Review in which he insists
upon the "Invalidity of the Fifteenth
Amendment" The ground upon which
Judge Morris declares the fifteenth
amendment to be null and void is that
it was not, in any true sense of the
term, an amendment of a material
part of the constitution, but that it
was an addition to the constitution.
He holds that an addition to the con-
stitution requires for its adoption. not
the acceptance of thrae-fourths of the
states but the unanimous consent of
all the states, such as was essential
when the constitution was originally
adopted. But some Of the states did not
consent to the so-called fifteenth
amendment, and Judge Morris init
mates that If the question We're sub
mitted to the supreme court the finding
Of that court would probably be that
the fifteenth amendment, not being an
amendment at ALL is entirely without
force. He says:
1.-The fifteenth amendment has been
incidentally before the supreme court
Of the United States in some few cases
but in no one of these was the QueS-
ton raised as to the validity of the
amendment. It is not improper and it
is not too late, to raise that question
now. For, although it is over thirty
seven years since it was proclaimed
by the state department to have been
ratified by three -fourths of the states
and to have therefore become a part
Of the organic law, it has never been
unqualifiedly accepted by the states
most affected by its provisions We
know that it has been openly evaded
by those states; and their evasion of
it has been practically sanctioned by
the supreme court of the United States
To a great extent it is now dead let
ter; and yet it remains as a possible,
and even probable cause for annoyance
and irritation for coming generations.
1t is time that it should be wholly ex-
plunged from the statute book by prop
er judicial construction which would
save our organic law from future ex-
detrimental tamperings of a similar
character"
Judge Morris conclusions may not
be sound law, but there is no doubt
that many people wish that there was
some such practical way of getting rid
of the fifteenth amendment.

facturers. of which organization Mr.
w J. Van Cleave. head of the Buck

president. adopted last May the fol-
lowing resolutions or declarations:
1--WE emphasize the Importance CT
maintaining the principle of protection
to American interests, of farm, fac
tory and labor.
1--WE recommend Ito congress the
creation of a permanent semi-judicial
tariff commission, or beard of experts.
which shall investigate thoroughly and
scientifically all matters pertaining to
the subject to the end that congress
and the executive may be fully in
formed: and shall assist the state de-
partment when desired in the formu-
lation and negotiation of treaties OF
reciprocity.
I'VE recommend as a basis Of pro-
tective duties upon which the com
mission shall work, the principle Of in
ternational costs. to W.T.: Protective
duties should represent substantially
the permanent dfferential between the
cost of production in foreign countrie
and that in the United States; thi
principle tCt be applied with an ampl
margin fos- safety as against con
tingencies"
The first of these declarations ma
be dismissed with the remark that
