Men who gave little heed to debates
and thought only of what they saw
and knew presently found themselves
stirred with fresh and vivid pas
sion of the mind as they witnessed or
learned of the operations of the Fu-
gitive Slave Law.
The constitution itself commanded
In explicit terms that fugitives from
service, as well as fugitives from jus,
tice, who should escape from one State
into another. should be delivered up
and returned upon demand; and Con-
gress. so long ago as 1893. had adopt
ed a measure intended to secure
obedience to the constitution in that
matter.
The behests of that statute, how
ever. had been addressed. not to fed
eral officers, but to the officials OF
the several States: magistrates and
sheriffs in the northern States had
shown greater and greater slackness
in performing their duty under the
statute, had. indeed, come more and
more to neglect 1t altogether, as opin-
ion against slavery gathered head;
and the Supreme Court of the United
States had finally made utter dead let
ter of the law by deciding. in the case
of Prisg VS.. Pennsylvania dSi2). that
Congress could not in any case legally
impose upon the officials of a State
the duty OF executing a law of the
United States
The new law. therefore. which went
with the compromise measures of 1850,
provided in very imperative and rig
orous fashion for the direct action of
the federal authorities.
The whole machinery OF federal
courts, commissioners. marshals, and
deputies was put at the service of
slave owners for the recovery of their
runaway slaves: their simple affidavit
was made sufficient proof of their
right of ownership and recovery and
of the identity of the negro claimed !:
federal marshals were made person
ally responsible for the successful e.
ecution of the writs of seizure and
rendition; every private citizen sum-
moned to assist was obliged TO obey
under heavy penalties; no doubt or

Miss Margaret Murray Dow, or the
dominic" rs she is lovingly called by the
members OF the United States Marine
Corps on duty at the New York Navy
Yard. is giving an evening of home
life to her boys" every Wednesday at
her old-fashioned mansion on Putnam
Avenue. Brooklyn. Miss Dow is the lead
ing spirit of the United States Marine
Corps League, an organization formed to
aid the enlisted men of that old branch
of the service. and which has the support
OF President Wilson. Miss Margaret Will
son. Mrs. J. Finley Shepard. Secretary
Daniels, and Major George Barnett, of the
Marine Corps.
Our Wednesday evenings are simple
affairs" said Mrs. Dow. My friends
drop in to help make honey and comfor-
table for the boys. and they appreciate
it, | know" Music and light refresh
ments also help to make the "Wednesday
nights at home" pleasant for the Mar
ines.
The origin of the provision in the bill
pending before the House Committee on
Military Affairs for the abolishment of
regimental organization in field artillery,
is a mystery at the War Department.
AS far as is known no field artillery Of
ficers ON duty at Washington suggested
the ChanSe ana II Is opposed by the Gen
eral staff.
1t is generally agreed among officers
on the General Staff and on duty at the
War Department, that the corps organ
ization for the field artillery would make
it misfit in the mobile army. The
tendency in the army recently has been
towards regimental organizations. Even
the coast artillery, to prepare it for
emergency field service, has been organ
lied into provisional regiments and div
isions. There has also been a tendency
in the marine corps of the navy to adhere
more strictly to regimental and brigade
organization.
The passage of this provision in its
present FORM said field artillery Of
fce- on duty at the War Department,
|. would be backward step for mobile
artillery. l hope that the bill will not
be passed in this form

Rev. John Van Schaick jr., has invited the
Commissioners to walk around the District with
him, suggesting that they would discover great
many things that they ought to know. He would
make the day which they make the journey a
holiday and have moving pictures taken OF the
pedestrians. good guess would be that if trip
around the District is undertaken the moving pic
lures will show the Rev. Van Schaick, jr. as the
guest of the Commissioners in one of the Districts

sfthe child is father to the man. anecdotes about

The Real Kaiser" says that the first picture we
haze of William ii introduces pale-faced, flaxen-
haired boy of at the wedding of his uncle, the
Eagsh Prince of Wales, afterward King Edward
III. "His capacity for mischief was already very
considerable, and Bishop Wilberforce relates that
and Edinburgh, who were asked to keep him in
order. After little trouble he reapsed into a
suspicious quiet, which was followed by smothered
exclamations OF pain. He had crept under chair
and bitten both his uncles severely m the calves of
their legs"
Now many children, they grow older, seem
to lose some of their unpleasant qualities. If
the qualities don't disappear altogether, they are
kept in check by the considerations that develop
with experience. William, however, by his love Of
practical jokes still betrays that he is the natural
offspring of the child that bit those legs.
Sometimes, according to this author, the more
shrewd of the men around the Kaiser play on the
imperial weakness for joking at the expense of
others Alfred Ballin, the Jewish potentate of the
Hamburg-AmericanL Line. happens to be one.
"'Your Majesty, he said, when rung up one day
on the telephone by the Kaiser, your humble SER

to him. For the rest of the day he was Sin

before the Kaiser let his mustache droop in sober
recognition Of advancing years. On one occasion
the Kaiser lamented that, in shaving. much time
should be wasted lathering the face. So the barber
devised means OF shaving without the use of

the place of woman is in the home, and other
equally inspiring maXims that have kept women

ENTHUSIASM
OF DEPUTIES

Paris, Sept. ia delicate ques-
ton was raised in the chamber of
deputies today by NJ. Roux Costadau
~ho asked Premier BRAND to see to
it that there was not only unity of
action on all fronts by the entente
allies. but also proportionate effect
ives.
Protests were made from various
parts of the chamber against any
discussion on the subject Of the pro.
portionate number Of troops engaged
from the different entente countries.
Mr.. Roux Costadau nevertheless per-
sisted, saying that NranGe could not
expect to give the blood OF all her
children and that the allies should
make the necessary sacrifices.
Premier BRAND in reply objected TO
the question and declared that 1t
was unjust to throw doubt on the ef-
forts of the allies in such sacred
cause. England, he said had never
said mo" to any demand for aid .
Italy had made the utmost efforts she
ever could considering the difficult
ties of the mountinous theater of the
war in which she was operating. Rus
STA had sent to France her soldiers
from across the world.
Tomorrow continued the prem.
Ter, you will see this joint action ex-
panding still more"
Replying to another speaker. Mr..
Brizon who attempted to calculate
the economic value Of the men who
had fallen in the war, Premier BRAND
said:
"Mr. Brizcn has suggested that II
is possible for the president and the
council to bring the war to an end.
That is the idea he is trying to prop
agate and 1t is my duty to destroy
this propaganda. Your country, Mon.
sier Brizon has a splendid past which
should make you love her. This coun-
try was seized by the throat after her
assailants had passed over the bleed
ing body of Belgium. To this country
which has the honor to be the cham.
pion of right and which has poured
out its blood in floods you say: Stop
the war! Negotiate peace!"
