HAVE MORE LIBERTY.
New Nicaragua Constitution Has Been
Received in New York.

New York, Oct. IA copy of the
constitution promulgated by the Pro-
visional government of Nicaragua has
just been received in New York. A
translation of the instrument shows
that it differs in several important re-
spects from the constitution in effect
during the thirteen years of the Ze-
laya rule. 1t grants to the people a
greater degree of liberty than they
ever. before enjoyed, and lessons the
ship under which the republic suffered
during the Zelaya regime. The pre-
amble reads:
During the administration of Cen
era1 ]. Santo Zelaya and DR.. Jose
Madriz, the constitution and laws of
the republic never had effective appli-
catien, because in that time the arbi-
trary will of the rulers always pre-
vailed in all the branches of public
administration. The undersigned de-
SireS to adapt all his acts in conform
ity with a rule that guarantees public
liberties and the Independent exercises
of the Judiciary power, in which a
complete change must be made in the
personnel of the past rule, for the
scandalous dem oralization of the ad-
ministration of justice was notorious
Article 6, divided into 16 para
graphs, gives to the Nicaraguans GER
tain rights which heretofore they have
never known. The first paragraph
grants to all liberty, individual security
and equality. The right to exercise
the writ of habeas corpus is also given.
The new constitution establishes the
right of defense and jury trial and
of the publicity o. hearings and guar
antees the privacy of letter and tele-
graphic communication. There will
be no death penalty or punishment
by the lash or other torture.
Article 8 aims to do away with the
ZeIaya practice of arbitrarily exiting
persons from the country for personal
reasons and for indefinite periods. 1t
reads:
''The expulsion of a Nicaraguan
from the territory of the republic may
not be decreed except for justifiable
causes and in the council of minis
ters and such term of exile shall not
exceed six months

Professor W. II. Tornhave has ar
rived at HIS home In Minnesota after
spending two years I'm Manchuria as
instructor in agriculture for the Chi
nese government. Mr.. Tornhave de-
clares that the japanese have made a
farce Of the open door that was to be
maintained In Manchuria.
He also discovered that while this
rich province is under the sovereign
ty OF China, It is in reality dominated
by the japanese to the exclusion of
the merchants OF every other country.
japanese soldiers are everywhere. and
japanese tradesmen are given all the
concessions.
There is constant friction in Man
churia. and the Americans and Eu-
ropeans are beginning to show intense
dislike for the little brown men on &C
count OF their dOmineering ways. II
Is even said the English are weary OF
their alliance with Japan for the rea-
son that the latter country is reaping
all the benefits.
The treaty OF Portsmouth, accord
ing to all accounts. is not being car
ried out by the japanese in any es-
sential particular. Just what the other
countries propose to do about It re-
mains to be seen
