Farewell to n Congressman n.
Prom Canton Ledger.

Prom Canton Ledger.
Among the various dignitaries who will
retire permanently to private life with
this Congress is our friend, the Honor
able G. w. Prince.
Mr.. Prince has in many ways been a
good Representative. He is a compan-
ionable man. always approachable. and
always accomplishing to the limit of
his ability. He is faithful to his friends.
but he belongs to an age already well
passed.
Mr. Prince believes that he was elected.
not to carry out the legislative ideas of
the people who elected him, but to legis-
late for them, whether they like ii or not.
This attitude also holds for the appoint
ment of officers. Mr.. Prince holds that
postoffices and other Federal offices with
in his district are so much patronage
TO be dispensed for his benefit, not for
the general good of the people who live
because they, or their friends, contributed
valuable assistance to the Congressman s
campaign.
The peoples wishes are consulted only
to the extent of selecting some one who
will not be so seriously odious that the
voters at large will abardon :neir ticket
in an effort to be rid of a dissasteful
official.
With this class of politicians loyalty to
friends is so perverted as to become an
evil rather than a virture. Their friends
are the ones who contribute most to their
election. Then lone must stand by his
friends" even to the point of choosing
their interests rather than those of his
district, or even his country.

Government "Secrets. /"

While the theft of battleship plan.
is serious matter, indicating the ef
forts of some of Our alleged friends
to keep tab upon the United States
Navy, il is nevertheless news to many
close observers that the government ha'
any secrets that it desires to keep from
prying eyes.
1t had been supposed that the pub.
licity plans were so broad as to en-
brace nearly everything connected with
the army and navy-that the exploits
and practice developments of our ex.
perts in arms, in naval gunnery, ir
bomb dropping, &c, were at once
given to the world, and one has the
right to such an opinion from the wide
heralding of these exploits.
In France the exploits of the army
and the navy-the tests of gunnery, the
work of the air feet, as in Germany
and in other European countries-are
for the archives and guarded night and
day.
A theft of the plans of a fortihca-
ton, of battleship, or even of doc
ument would be kept in strictest conf
dence by the authorities of any other
nation but the United States until the
culprit had been run to earth. Here
the hue and cry is Started-notice is
served on the thief that he must be
on the alert; that he better quit, as the
department is on guard, and the OPP
portunity to ensnare him red-handed
is lost forever.
When our gunnery practice is under
taken the story is told the next day in
the press of the States; an experiment
on a useless battleship for the benefit
of our naval officials is paraded before
the world. Our aeroplane feet prac-
tees before the world if the world
cares to look on. Our illustrated week
lies publish diagrams of fortresses, di-
mansions of works, illustrated stories
of bomb dropping, of the launching of
an aeroplane from battleship and the
return landing.
Why not keep the results of Our ex-
periments in the bureaus where they
may be useful? Why not know things
without making them public?
The army and navy should not be a
publicity bureau, pictures OF expert
ments should not be allowed, results
should not be made public.
The publicity given to the theft of
battleship plans means immunity to the
thief, the spy of some of our good
friends, honorable in all things, where
they can get away with it.

Cardinal Gibbons.
From the New York Independent.

From the New York Independent.
Richard She'll, having read our editorial
on the three American cardinals, sends
us word of appreciation of Cardinal
Gibbons. We learn from him that when
a parish priest in Canton, then a suburb
of Baltimore, Cardinal Gibbons was, with
the exception of Vicar General Coskery,
the only priest in the diocese of Balti-
more who was a Union man during the
civil war. 1t is curious fact that Car
dinal Gibbons has never voted. No one
has known his politics, but from the fact
that he has declined to vote, while the
majority of his people have been Demo-
Gratis, it has been surmised that his SYM
pathies are with the Republicans, as have
been confessedly those of his friend,
Archbishop Ireland
Like Archbishop Ireland, again, all his
instincts are thoroughly American, and
he has not in him particle of the snob.
Nor is he lover of money. Vicar Gen.
eral ,Coskery at his death left to him
personally a fortune reported to be
$4,000 but he did not keep it, nor has he
amassed anything from the cathedrati-
cum and other assessments that are his
due as archbishop. Some years ago he
distributed all hfs wealth among the in
situations Of his diocese in an impartial
way, remembering those for the blacks
as well as for the whites, reserving for
himself nothing but per cent income
and this he has given away generously
He lives in no palace, but as plainly as
any priest.

The Oriental rug is not strictly mod
ern invention, but the prices now Cd
tanned for them are.
The Oriental rug was originally woven
nv hand in some far off corner or tne
desert by a family and its descendants.
1t was woven out of camels hair or SILK
in fantastic Oriental designs which the
designer carried in his head and altered
whenever he had a lapse of memory.
The Oriental rug was the most useful
thing about the Oriental family. When
ever a family set up housekeeping 1t
began by weaving a rug. This took
from six months to ten years according
to the rug and the family. When the rug
was finished it was used for carpet.
:. he'd. a saddle, windbreak, a table, a
wall a wheat bin, and for many other
useful purposes. After an oriental rug
has been mellowed by several genera
lions for such use, 1t becomes sort and
beautiful and can be smelled for sew
eral rods on a damp. muggy day.
Some years ago people began to i'm
mort these rugs to America. They are
now very popular. If rug is treated
kindly it will last forever. and in an
other century the Importance of an
American family will be determined by
the number of Oriental rugs its ancestors
have bequeatbed to 1t.
Oriental rugs are now sold in such
vast numbers that II all the Oriental rug
weavers worked day and night they
would still be several years behind or
ders. They are also so valuable that a
small rug of good family and unblemished
descent will often sell for 500 q square

vote on the question, having abstained
from the elections at which delegates
to the State conventions were chosen
either on account of their indifference,
or their Acknowledgement by lack OF
the property qualifications. Hence our
Federal Constitution was ratified by a
vote of perhaps not more than one
sixth of the adult males. The author
even goes step farther by question
ing whether a majority of the voters
who participated in the elections for
the State conventions in New York
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vir-
ginia, and South Carolina actually did
approve the ratification? The leaders
who supported the new basic law in
the ratifying conventions represented
the identical economic groups as did
the members of the Philadelphia con-
vention, and in large number of III
stances they also were interested di-
rectly and personally in the outcome
of their efforts.
And so, he concludes, it became mar
ifest in the ratification that the line OF
cleavage, pro and con, was between
the substantial personal interests on
the one hand and the small farming
and debtor interests on the other"
In commenting upon this startling
disclosure one almost is tempted to add
that in 1888 economic issues and "the
interests" were what they are today.

Women Jurors Idea of Justice.

A number of California citizens are
raising their voices against the advent
Of women into the ranks of the jury,
averring that it is threatening the i'm
partiality of justice. 1t appears that
a handsome youth named Dianda,
caught stealing horses, was acquitted,
in spite of the evidence, at the insti-
CATION of three women jurors who
succeeded in persuading nine jurors of
the male sex of the accused mans in
nocence.
In the face of the unexpected and
apparently unwarranted verdict, a re-
porter interviewed the ladies to ascer-
tain, if and how much the prisoner
looks had to do with his acquittal.
This was the result:
The first lady said: Undoubtedly
women in time will make just as fair
jurors as men, The idea of a woman
Juror is so new and the feminine sex SO
inexperienced in the matter of acting
as jurors, that it is impossible for me
to say at this time whether women
jurors will permit handsome criminals
to escape justice y We would want
more evidence to convict the matinee
idol than the villain in the play"
The second lady admitted that "the
age of a prisoner will have a great
deal to do with verdicts rendered by
a woman juror. In the case of Di-
anda. the youth of the prisoner was
best exemplihed in his wonderfully
clear pink and white complexion and
his small dainty hands"
The third lady juror agreed that it
was the youth and apparent cleanliness
of the prisoner that biased the women
in his favor. "He was not a criminal
in spite of having stolen a horse, but
a youth gone astray."
Why do the superfluous thing and
comment on such "mush?" The fe-
male feeling and sentiment was hui
man enough, but it certainly was not
a case where Justice was blind" Rule
of the people is well enough-as far
as it goes. In California apparently
il has gone too far! How about the
safety of the citizens!

Bryan's Battleship Of. Love.

Scratch an apostle of peace and you'll
find a man of war This might. seem
to be impossible in the case of Sec
rotary BRYAN, who recently expressed
this conception of the battleshlp OF the
future:
Its compass is the heart. its shells
carry good will its missiles are pro-
jected by the smokeless powder OF
love. its captain is the Prince of Peace
| ask YOU TO drink with me to the
battleship Friendship. No target will
withstand the projectileS which friend
ship sends abroad.
Mr.. Bryan talks like a man who has
no use for warships. A fairer test
of his attitude will be possible after he
has been Secretary OF State for a year.
He NAV find. before that time, that
the United States Navy, even in peace,
is a buckler for his foreign policies.
The battleship of love may be all very
well for international relations, but
one wonders where Mr.. Bryan would
be if he had been throwing kisses in
stead of bricks at his enemies these
sixteen years. Would he have that
vast following of voters who love him
for the enemies he has made?
A man who has done much for the
cause of international peace by his
studious adjustment of disputed ques-
tons is Senator Elihu Root of New
York. Yet he was Stanch adyo-
cate of two battleships at the last ses-
sion of Congress- Sir George Reid, of
Australia. who is travelling in this
country with the Client peace COM
missioners. was one of the distinguish
ed colonial statesmen who joyfully well
coined the Atlantic Fleet on the occa-
sion OF its visit to Australia. Like his
countrymen he felt that the passage
of this great force through Pacific
waters was a guarantee OF the protec-
ton of Anglo-Saxon rights, which, I'M
protected. might have been jeopardized.
Warships are as efficient guardians
of peace as peace conventions.
The navy makes no objections to the
propaganda of Andrew Carnegie, whose
armor plate protects the vitals of many
an American warship.

Unions and Riders.

From the Providence Journal.
There is reason to believe that anothe-
supply bill, if loaded with a provision
calculated by the government organiza-
tions representing labor or agriculture.
under the antitrust law, will meet the
same fate at the hands of President VIII
son as the sundry civil bill suffered from
President Taft's forceful pen. 1t hap
pens that at the present time a suit is
going forward against locals of the
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, the
charge being obstruction of the interstate
operations of the Postal Telegraph Com
pany; although the Sherman act is not
specifically mentioned in the complaint
The classic case, If not the only one OF
appeal to the Sherman law, that Of the
Danbury hatters', which determined that
an interstate boycott is a violation OF
that law, was prosecuted by private
parties. Private action would not have
been restrained by the rider on the sun
dry civil bill.
Mr.. Gompers has long been trying to
have the statute amended. Had he sue
ceeded complete immunity from prose-
cution by the government, by cutting on
funds, as the next best thing. Under
lying the issue is the manifest impro-
priety of attempting radical amendments
to general statutes by riders on supply
bills.

Who Framed, Who Ratified the Con.
stitution?

Prof. Beard, OF Columbia University,
in his recent book entitled AN Eco
nomic Interpretation of The Constitu-
ton of the United States challenges
the declaration of our constitutional
lawyers that the Constitution was Gre
ated ''by the will of the whole people,
also that it was not created by the
State" as leading men of the South
have long contended. The professor
argues al the hand of exhaustive re-
searches that it was the result of the
combined work OF a consolidated
group" whose interests knew no state
boundaries. but were national in their
scope
While the book, at best, is but frag-
mentary, it throws little light on the
economic conditions in the United States
in 1883 TO I7S7. According to the au-
thor, the movement for constitution
was originated and carried through
principally by four groups of varied
interests, which, under the articles OF
confederation of the thirteen colonies,
had been affected adversely, namely,
money, public securities, manufactures,
and trade (shipping). The first firm
steps toward the formation of the
Constitution were taken by small but
active group of men, says the pro-
fessor, interested intimately through
their personal possessions in The out
come of their labors.
No popular vote was taken directly
or indirectly on the proposition to call
the convention which drafted the all
important document, and the masses
were excluded at the very outset from
participation in the work of framing it.
Thus the members of that Philadelphia
convention which made the first draft
were, directly or indirectly, but above
all personally. interested in and de-
rived economic advantages from the
establishment of the new system.
The authors logic is that the Con-
stitution, therefore, was essentially a
public document, based upon the con-
cept that the fundamental private prop
erty rights were anterior to govern
ment and morally beyond the reach of
popular majorities." The majority of
the members of that convention are on
record as recognizing the claim of
property to special and defensive po-
sition in the Constitution.
But what is really astounding is the
professors assertion that in the raii-
fcation of the Constitution about three
faurrhs oil. the adult males failed to

One afternoon he was strolling across

fire escape that looked something like

device was exactly like the one he had
