James Wilson, Of Pennsylvania, from
beginning to end, was master spirit
in the making OF the Constitution. He
said: The supreme power resides in the
people, and they never part with it.
There can be no disorder in the COM
munity but may here receive a radical
cure. In this Constitution all au-
thority is derived from the people

Washington and Sunday Laws.

Finally: That the inhibition of the
first amendment includes Sunday IeRis-
lation is certain from the fact that we
know that this was the direct intent of
the makers of the Constitution In the
making OF it. The famous letter of
George Washington. August 4. I7ss, on
religious liberty. Is well known. But
there Is not weil known the fact that
in this justly famous letter Sunday laws
are directly involved. The known facts
are these: In Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, and Virginia, there were Sabbath
keeping Christians: Seventh-day Baptists.
These were all stanch friends Of lib-
erty. In several ways these had come
most favorably within the personal
knowledge Of Washington. They were
subjected to harass and persecution
through the State Sunday laws that were
essentially of the established religions
Of the States. When the national gov
eminent was formed some of these peo-
pie addressed Washington to inquire
whether the religious liberty Of the Con-
stitution would extend to- them, or
whether this Constitution also would
allow Persecution by statute

The Spirit of Christmas Gifts.

Eve-up-tO-date in TlmeS-Demo-
|crat: A smaller number of gifts and
more love and care in their selec-
ton would aid in keeping the chill
dren, and their elders as we'll, in
accord with the true Christmas
spirit. For the heart of Christmas
happiness is kindliness and consid-
|eration and concern for others. And
this is very hard to keep in the
midst of the holiday confusion. The
thoughtful purchaser who buys few
gifts, but buys them with love and
|care, lifts a bit of the heavy burden
which falls at this time on the
shoulders of the shop girls. 1t is a
season of noise and discOrds, OF
pushing and pulling, Of long hours
and bad manners. This is largely be-
cause so many people try to buy too
many presents which necessitates
the completion of their Christmas
shopping few days before Christ
mas. To begin early and to buy less
and with greater care is way to
extend the Christmas blessings OF
good will and peace so that they in
Iclude buyers and sellers.
So, suppose we simplify our
Christmas, introducing little more
reason and restraint into our buy
ling, and in this way have a little
more time to remember those who
in pain, poverty or loneliness will
! not have a very happy Christmas
unless we help them?
1t is hard for those who are rich
lly blessed to think of Christmas IN
any other way than as season OF
gladness and merriment. But there
are thousands of hearts filled with
peculiarly heavy sadness that day

D aate Instit@ ion On Bad Hands.

The public, Or at least those who
have children at the State Normal,
are not 50 much concerned about
whether the epidemic OF fever at
that place originated from improper
IWater or unhealthy living quarters
and ullWhOIeSOme food. 1t Is Suttl-
'cient to know that the management
I0f this State restitution has fallen
in bad hands and it is high time for
Characterization Journal.
With some very rare exceptions,
the newspapers throughout the
state have been mild and consider
late in their comments over the de-
plOrable health conditions at the
Estate Normal School at NatchltO-
Iches, which was closed peremptor-
lily by Dr. Oscar bowling, the head
Of the State Board of Health.
The investigation by DR.. bowling
has developed mismanagement
which is criminal.
If the head of this institution was
or is wanting in the sense Of real
izing that the unsanitary conditions
prevalent in and about the Normal
were a menace to the health and
1.-The welfare of the attendants Of this
school, he should be removed.
If he be possessed of the knOWl-
dye sufficient to realize that tn
Normal was menaced by the unsanl-
ltary conditions which have been
ameliorated by DR.. bowling, he
should be removed.
1t would seem that in the neg
lect of a plain duty. the head of the
Normal has demonstrated his inca
ipacity, and as stated by the Homer
Guardian Journal, 1T is sufficient to
know that the management OF this
institution has fallen into bad hands
and it is high time for change.
In its Tuesday edition the eau
casian suggested that Governor Hall
should direct an official inquiry into
who is responsible for the fever ep-
idemic which led to the closing OF
1.-THE Normal.
| In the consideration of a matter
so vital and involving the health and
the lives of the pupils and others at
1.-THE Normal, all sentiment should be
laid asida and the responsibility for
neglect of duty should be fastened
on somebody who should not be
permitted to escape from an impair
ttial and strict accountability.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. IA
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was
shot and wounded tonight as he
boarded an automobile to go to
the auditorium to deliver an ad-
dress, by man who gave his
name as John Schrank of New
York, and who is evidently de-
mented. The bullet struck Col
onel Roosevelt in the right
breast, but despite his injury he
proceeded to the auditorium
where he spoke an hour.
After the address was con-
Guided Colonel Roosevelt was
rushed to a hospital. After the
wound was dressed he walked
from the hospital unassisted and
left at midnight on special train
for Chicago. 1t was first stated
that the bullet lodged in his
chest wall and that the injury
was not serious. Later, how
ever, it was reported that the
wound was more serious than
first reported. The Colonel is
due to arrive in Chicago at 3
o'clock this morning. Surgeons
will be waiting and an effort will
be made to extract the bullet.
Schrank was Overpowered by
Colonel RoOsevelt's secretaries.
The crowd threatened to lynch
him, but Colonel Roosevelt inter
vened and the assailant was hur-
ried into the hotel, in front of
which the shooting occurred, and
then taken to the police station.
The man, who is small of stat
ure, admitted to firing the shot
and in notes found in Schrank s
pockets at the police station,
were statements that the assail-
ant had been visited in a dream
by the spirit Of ExPresident
Mckinley, who had said, indicat
ing Roosevelt: This is my
murderer; avenge my death. P"
The bullet passed through the
manuscript Of tonight's speech
which Colonel Roosevelt had in
his inside pocket A positive
statement that Colonel Roose
welt had not been injured seri-
ously was made early Tuesday
morning by DR.. Frederick A.
Stratton, one of the physicians
who examined him, Stratton
said the wound was a superficial
one and that the bullet was inn
bedded in the muscular tissue.
You may say that Colonel Roose
welt is not in a dangerous con.
dition,' said Stratton. IF the
bullet had reached the lungs, it
would have been evident, he
would have coughing spells. !"
