AMBASSADORS BRYCE on OUR
CONSTITUTIONS.

The constitution OF the United
States has been regarded by many
as the embodiment of more
political wisdom than is contained in
any other document ever written
Such men as Daniel Webster and Hen
ny Clay. who gave to it profound study,
characterized it in the highest terms.
Some men, including a few not with
out reputation, have belittled the docu-
ment, but the consensus. of opinion
among statesmen, not only OF this
country, but OF Europe, is that the
document is one which indicates great
grasp of thought, wisdom and sagacity
on the part of its trainers. The latest
nan OF reputation to praise this docu-
ment is Ambassador Bryce. Bryce is
a man of international fame, not only
as a diplomat, but as a philosopher
and historian, who studies every sub
ject on which ne writes with pains
taking care and gives to the world
only his well-considered and most ma
tured thought.
In regard to the American constitu-
ton, he had this TO say, in a recent
address:
THE whole Of your history since
1889 is q record of the services which
the constitution has rendered 1t
formed, or at least strengthened and
developed, the habit of Difference to
the law and respect for it's forms, with
a sense Of the value of direct every
thing by strictly legal methods, which
is one Of the finest attributes of free
people. II taught you to recognize
that a free government must be found
ed upon the sense of right; upon the
respect Of every man and every com.
munity for the rights of every other
man and community, to the exclusion
OF violence"
The opinion OF such a man as Am,
bassador Bryce. in regard to the great
charter of our liberties, will outweigh
the superficial and hasty denunciation
of the document by those who com
monty indulge in denunciations of II
J That it has needed, from time to time
amendments, adapting it to the de
mands Of great growing nation, is
/ very true, and such reforms have beer
incorporated into it, Other amend
ments will be needed in the future
but, fundamentally. in all its essentia
. characteristics, il is a masterpiece O
political wisdom.
! In the worlds history, no wise
group Of men ever assembled thar

American republic and who were TIL
authors of the constitution of tn,
United States.

THE ROBBERY OF THE con-
SUMER

The movement to break the egg
trust, launched by the women of sew
eral cities, is directed at the middle
man. When the farmer sells eggs at
% cents a dozen the market quota
tons are ~ cents. Who raises the
price, The wholesaler, retailer and
uiddleman. or each in combination?
What effect does inadequate market
facilities here?
q. +. Ioakum. president of the
Frisco railroad system, says that this
matter OF cost between the producer
aud consumer is getting to be OF
worldwide importance. Last year il
cost $1,000. 100000 to distribute So
600 10000 worth OF products from
the farm 10 the consumer. New York
alone spends s6O.0OO.0OO annually
more than is necessary because Of
inadequate market facilities. He gives
an example OF what is being done in
the west. A farmer in Oklahoma ship
ped a carload OF 1850 watermelons
10 ST. Paul. he hired a team in addi-
ton to his own and hauled the melons
four miles 10 the cars. The water
melons sold in st. Paul from 50 to 20
cents each. and the money was dis
tributed as follows: The farmer re-
ceived $3.50, the buyer $24O. the rail
road SIS: other expenses and profits.
S25O.5O. Total cost to the consumer,
$3.50.
Such marketing as this ought TO be
irpossible. We are going to make it
impossible as fast as We can. The

Four O'Clock tea is a most charming
custom in Canada and across the wat
er, and is rapidly gaining favor in
many cities in our own country, par
ticularly in Cleveland. In large cities.
distances from the business center are
great, which necessitates a late dinner.
The afternoon tea breaks the long in
term from luncheon to the dinner
hour and gives an opportunity for
friends to meet, rest and have pleas
ant chat on the news of the day. Men
often leave their Offices for this cup
OF tea, which refreshes them for the
final finishing of their days work, or
they make it point to reach home
gust in time for it.
There are many dainty accessories
for the afternoon tea table. but it may
be as simple or elaborate as ones
standard of living demends. Usually
a tea table spread with an immaculate
tea cloth and placed conveniently fol-
the pouring and serving of the tea is
desirable.
On this table should be a kettle
commonly called. Five O'clock Tea,
on a tray with an alcohol lamp burn
ing under it so as to have boiling wat
er instantly. A tea caddy, tea strain
er, cream jug, bowl of sugar, plate o.
/ sliced lemon and fancy cakes or sand
witches are placed conveniently fol
serving. This, with the pFettiest cups
/ and saucers you possess and a wei
come, makes the cup that cheers and
makes for a happy factor in the every
/ day life.
