the coating or powdering Of peanuts
conflicted with the regulation regarding
the concealing of inferiority by means of
an outer coating. Samples were pro-
duced by w. H. Summis. a cleaner of
peanuts, OF Philadelphia, which showed
the difference between the peanut as
bought of the producer and the powdered
peanut.
DR.. Wiley expressed himself as highly
gratihed by the ground covered In the
two-hour session. He said he knew more
about peanuts than he had known be-
fore, and that the Information furnished
by the gentlemen present gave him an
excellent foundation upon which to base
more searching investigation.

James Gayley. a former vice president
of the company, told the committee to-
day that If there was such an interna-
tional agreement Mr.. Farrell would un-
doubtedly know all about its terms.
Representative Stanley, chairman OF
the committee, Is convinced that the
prices of steel throughout the woric are
regulated by agreement, and this is a
phase of the investigation to which he
will direct particular attention
At the conclusion of Mr.. 'Gayley's tes-
ttmony yesterday the committee adjourned
without date. The next hearing may

THE L.. :. CONSTITUTION

CoNusuEp FROM PAGE THREE.
though most of them arc available to
only a few. The triumphs of chemis-
try. mathematics, astronomy, geology,
zoology. a~nthropoloEy. biology, en-
bryology, philology, physiology, archie
ology, the fine arts, the liberal arts
the industrial arts, ETC., etc, have
opened up fields of study. investiga-
ton and research which afford the
keenest pleasure to the human intel
lect that has the opportunity to grap-
pie with them. The industries have
developed into great trusts and COM
bincs employing myriads of men and
women carrying on business on a
hugh scale. The great masses of the
people no longer work "on their own
hook" They are no longer indie
pendent on each other. They are in
~terpendent upon each other. 1t is no
longer practicable to apply the theory
of every fellow for himself" We are
, now capable of giving boy II
girl Il liberal education-but we do
not do it. Steam, electricity, the
wonderfully improved agricultural
machinery. and the perfect forest of
labor-saving machinery used in the
mills. mines, factories and other in
dustries have made us capable of pro-
ducing, in a fraction of our waking
hours. enough to provide every hum
an being with all the necessaries and
comforts of life, including h leisure
and the means for physical, mental,
moral and spiritual development. We
do not desit. But VIC must do it. Iii
order to do it, VIC will have to in
troduce Socialism.
These, in brief, are the reasons why
we have outgrown a good deal the
United States Constitution.
But do not worry.
hi obstacle is not half as formld-
able as it looks.
Among others there is one splendid
clause in the Constitution which We
have not outgrown. 1t is the n
which gives Congress the power to do
anything that is for the general well
fare. Under that clause we can in
troduce Socialism without d conStitu-
tional amendment.
Again the Supreme Court has no
legal power to declare a law uncon-
stitutional. Certain isolated state
ments on the part of a few olonial
Ioiit NiNA "SS'
ess to prove that the Constitution is
a class document-which can easily be
proved without resorting to exaSS
geration-have led some Socialists to
believe that the courts have such
power. But it is not SO. Therefore,
if the judges nullify the laws passed
by a Socialist administration we will
just ignore them and 80 on about our
business of introducing Socialism.
And yet again-if We want to amend
| certain provisions in the Constitution,
for example, to introduce equal suf-
frage or to abolish the Sentative
can do it by majority vote. Any pro-
vision which is opposed to majority
| rule is null and void and should be so
treated.
So I say you iced not worry-for
this constitutional obstacle is not half
as formidable as it looks.
! For a further discussion on this sub
ject I will refer you to the chapter
entitled The Constitution IN my
book Whats So and What Isn't"
