The Canning Bee.

The canning bee is appearing in some
Of the lower cotton states. One Of the
drawbacks to the prosperity OF the
planters has been the habit OF buying
instead of raising the food for his
family. He has depended on the store
instead of the garden. He would not
put in kitchen garden. but would get
his vegetables out Of tins. paying
profits to Gamers. jobbers and retail
ers. with transportation and other
charges added.

the interest of kitchen gardens and

Of money and better living.
In other days-that is. before the age
Of factory canning. preserving and
pickling-the garden. the orchard and
the smokehouse were considered nee
essary accessories Of the farm. Even
the distillery for working up the prod
ucts of the orchard was an adjunct OF
many rural homes. In most cases
these things fell into disuse. The gar
den grew up in weeds and brush. the
orchard rotted and the trees were
chopped down for firewood and the
smokehouse crumbled away. 1t was
believed to be cheaper to buy than to

Utopia. Utopia! You are the land of

sunshine always gleams
Where every man to other men is gen

And honest human sympathy effaces all

We've toiled with chart and compass
every map we've scanned with care,
But We find no indication of it's presence
anywhere;
And the worldly wise assure us, as for
counsel we apply.

Yet every human traveller, as he journeys
on his way,
Down in his heart expects to reach Utopia

such place.
Yet it seems the universal destination of

The Jail Transfer.

The statement that the District Su-
preme Court will be petitioned to prevent
the transfer of the District Jail to the
control of the Commissioners. on the
ground of improper congressional proce-
dure may serve to raise an interesting
point before the courts relative to federal
legislation This petition, 1t is under
stood, will charge that inasmuch as the
change was authorized in the appropria-
tons committee, instead of the judiciary
committee. it lacks validity. 1t will be
interesting TO obtain a court ruling on
this point distinctly, for at every session
OF Congress enactments are effected
through the appropriations committee on
matters which lie, by strict reckoning.
within the jurisdiction Of other COM
mittees Indeed, that is ordinarily about
the only way that certain lines of legis-
lation can be accomplished at all.
Undoubtedly this practice of carrying
general legislation through on apropria-
ton bills has led to abuses. for it be-
comes virtually impossible to eliminate
or even materially to amend such para
graphs when those in charge of the ap-
preparation work in the two houses have
determined to put such paragraphs
through. The President Is practically
helpless as regards their veto. although
they may be in marked degree objec-
tionable to him.
1t seems very doubtful whether the
court can go behind the face of the
statute to determine the validity Of the
intermediary processes. the sources from
which items have sprung, the rules of
procedure, the ways and means invoked
to accomplish their enactment. If the
paragraph in question is constitutional
and valid on other grounds the point of
committee jurisdiction would hardly seem
TO lie within the purview of any reviewing
body. The House or the Senate is judge
of its own rules as regards committee
authority.
The question of constitutionality in this
case should be very carefully considered,
as vital issues are involved, even the
question Of human life. The transfer Of
the local penal institution to the Com
mlsSlonerS authority was undertaken
with the approval and. indeed, at the in
stance OF the Department Of Justice 1t
is deemed far better to concentrate the
direction of these establishments, and it
is to be hoped that the courts will find
no flaw in the enactment preventing the
carrying ont the plainly expressed man.

Blondin and Beachey.

Almost exactly fifty-two years ago
Charles Biondin walked across the gorge
oeiow Niagara Falls on rope. balanc-
ing himself with heavy pole. His in
trepid performance was cheered by an
Immense multitude Of people. drawn by
the announcement Of this daring under
taking. Yesterday Lincoln Beachey flew
in biplane over the Horseshoe Fall and

various feats on the rope over the deadly
torrent that surged far beneath him, such
as cooking and eating a meal on the
slender support of the cable. In all like
