is that the way to promote the general well
fare of the people? Is that the way to insure
domestic tranquility? Is that the way to in

When the Government is run by the few,
is it not perfectly evident the many will suf-
fer! Was there ever a class that did not
abuse its power?
When the doctrine is openly advocated that
we must virtually allow few thousand cor

irresistible machinery of government, is it
not perfectly obvious that the working class
Will be at the mercy of the employing class?
And when he seeks protection in a labor or

III his turn, be at the mercy of his organiza-

else for the opportunity to earn your daily
bread, are you any longer a free man?
Look around you-the Trusts control bust
ness, politics, the press, the pulpit and the
Government. The Trusts represent organized
money, despOtically controlling in every direc-
ton. Without the Tariff, every one of the dia-
bolcal combinations would dissolve before the
competition which would pour through the
Custom-house. But the Tariff WALL which shuts
out the foreign, and cheaper goods, has been
mounting higher and higher ever since the

while his workmen's children are crying for

ease, from palace to palace, while his work

wages, their homes being the reeking, disease
infested cellar or the crazy tenement up the
rotten stair, in which the human sardines are
so closely packed that comfort, health and
morality are not to be expected nor had.

No other church organization claims and

fS1 conception of what is the true nature
of the Constitution of the United States and
the relation which the states intended to main
tain toward the Union. There are certain
politicians and newspaper writers who seem
to think that the states have lost all of their
rights and that the Federal Government is
the absolute master of legislation and of gov
ernment-the source of all governmental CON
troll, independent of the states
AS matter of fact the Federal Govern
ment couldn't exist a moment without the
states, whereas, if the Federal Government
were abolished the forty-seven states now
composing the Union would be forty seven
independent soverei on governments.
To understand this, let us 90 back to the
beginning. During the Colonial period each
one of the thirteen colonies we're independent
of each other, made treaties with each other,
raised separate armies and went to war with
the Indians sometimes single-handed and
sometimes in temporary league with one or
more Of the other colonies To Great Britain
every colony owed allegiance, but when the
colonies fought for and won their indie
pendence, they claimed, and Great Britain ac-
Enowledged the independence of each one of
the thirteen states separately.
While cooperating in the common cause,
the colonies established central authority. in
which the power of control was vested in
committee, which was bound by the terms of
a written agreement or Constitution, to which
every one of the colonies was party. This
Constitution was changed three times before
the present Constitution, that of 1887, was
framed at Phlladel phia. 1t is not generally
known that this Constitution, under which
we are now living, is the fourth that our
country has known.
The states came together in convention,

AS they approached the lodge Miss

probably, after all. the means
of her salvation. 1t had the effect of
keeping Payton at his lodge. But for
the necessity which he felt of watch
ing her personally we might not have
succeeded in getting the two commu
nications from the same point. and
that the very point that we wished to
hit upon.
Payton never spoke to Miss Gray
man again while she remained at the
lodge. Perhaps he was ashamed to
face her. He well might have been.
Perhaps he had some other reason.
But. at any rate from that moment
she was kept close prisoner. and all
that Payton said to Mr.. Grayman
about her continued cheerfulness and
about their trout fishing was a base
falsehood. invented to prey upon the
billionaire's mind.
And now to the story of our search
and the startling events that came
out of 1t.

while the animals are resting, the
keepers put them through course Of
bathing, brushing and exercising, the
effect of which is readily noticed
when the annual tour begins in the
spring. To go'over a herd of forty CO.

several weeks.

Friday, has number of rare African
elephants. great huge tusked, umbrel-

of amazement to all who visit the me-

immense balls of brass. securely
screwed on. Attached to their forelegs
are strong chains, which in turn are
fastened to the brass work.
The big African elephants with the
Barnum & Bailey show are guided by
mahouts who sit astride their necks
and direct their movements by means
of the voice, aided by a kind Of
