Geographic Guess.

Who knows the name of the capital
Of the commonwealth of Australia?
Don't guess either Melbourne or sgd
ney, for that would send you to the
bottom of the class. A magazine ex-
plorer has discovered the place, which
is called by the extraordinary name Of
Yass-Canberra, and tells tireside trav-
elers how to find its site. To do this
draw a line on the map connecting
Melbourne with Sydney, divide 1t by
two points into three equal parts, and
the point nearest Sydney will stand
for the future capital Of Australia
This site was roughly specified by
the constitution of 1900, but it took a
ten-year controversy to select the site
definitely.

SUBSTITUTING THE COURT FOR
CONGRESS-

In a carefully prepared copyrighted
article dealing with the constitution as
Roosevelt sees it, William Jennings
Bryant clearly points out the danger
to be apprehended from the third party
candidate should he be again elected
President.
In an editorial written and signed
by Col. Roosevelt, the third term can
didate saws: 1T is contended that in
these recent decfst ons under Sherman
act) the Supreme court legislated; so
it did: and it had to because Congress
had signally failed to do its duty by
legislating. For the Supreme Court to
nullify an act of the Legislature as I'M
const tutional, except on the clearest
grounds is usurpation; to interpret
such an act in an obviously wrong
sense is usurpation; but where the leg
islative body persistently leaves open
field which it is absolutely impera-
tive from the pub ic standpoint, to fill,
then no poss BILE blame attaches to the
official or officials who step in because
they have to, and who then do the
needed work in the interests of the
people. The blame in such cases lies
with the body which has been derelict,
and not with the body which reluct-
antly makes good the dereiction."
Taking this as his text Bryan points
out that Roosevelt believes in usurpa-
ton by one branch of the government
of the rights of another, that if Con-
gress fails to act as the President or
the Supreme court thinks it should act
it is proper to set the constitution
aside and fill in the breach. And
Bryan pertinently asks;
who is to decide whether the leg
islative body was wrong in refusing
to amend the ant trust law? The peo-
pie who elected the legislators? No,
the supreme court, composed OF judges
appointed by the president, and APP
pointed at whose request? VIII Mr.
Taft and Mr. Roosevelt tel us?
And then Mr.. Roosevelt proceeds
with his usual positiveness and with
comprehensive phraseology TO tell the
public that no possible blame attaches
to the official or offic a S who step N
because they have to- but that the
blame lies with the body which has
been derelict.'
The utterances of the public men
of our country will be scanned in vain
for any declaration that approaches
the above statement of Mr. Roosevelt
in contempt for the limitations of the
cons tuition"
And as Bryan conc udes his attack
on Roosevelt's position:
There is nothing that a president
and a supreme court may not do if
Mr.. Roosevelt's theory of government
is to prevail Under such a system
as he favors, legislatures would be-
come an unnecessary expense and log
icallv ought to be abolished. A the
people would need would be a presi-
dent to think for them and a supreme
court to act in sp tie of them.
And when reduced to it's last anal
ysis, why a supreme court? Why not
save expense and abolish the supreme
court, as wei as the legislature. and
leave it all to the president? That is
actually what Mr. Roosevelt demands
on the trust question"

While it cannot be said that the late
Vice-president Sherman had made any
deep impression on the national ife,
or that his craftsmanship was of any
high order, there sens to be general
acknowledgement that he had many
sterling traits of character, that he
was absolutely faithful to his trusts,
from the standpoint of a party man,
and that his unfailing fund of good
nature well entitled him to the sobri-
quet Of sunny m" He enjoyed the
unique distinction of being the only
vice president who was ever renom-
ated-and, if he had lived, would have
coupled to that the distinction of being
the only one defeated in a second race
