THREE States rights decisions Dy the United States Supreme Court within the same number of weeks make a remarkable record and would seem to indicate tendency to restore a balance, all but destroyed in recent years by steady trend toward feder- alization. The first of these decisions recognized State sovereignty ill the matter of prohibition, the second in the matter of fixing railway p; ssen- ger rates and the third in the enforce ment of laws against fraudulent stock selling within State borders. The three rulings agree on the point that the State has the sole right to make laws affecting exclusively its own at- fairs. And this determination by ho means weakens Federal authority where that authority has proper ]uris- Giction.-Exchange.

In the very bottom of the Grand can yon lie the dark, inconspicuous rocks mostly tough crystalline granite gneiss and schist. the oldest in the canyon and among the oldest in the world They were in part deposited as sands and muds in sea. in part accumulated as lava flows and in part intruded be meath the surface as molten rock. All these materials became solidified. and later they were slowly heaved and crumpled into mountains. which were in time worn down by rain, rivers and perhaps the waves of the sea to a near ly level land surface. This surface finally sank beneath the sea and be came the floor on which fresh sedi ments began to accumulate. Twice al least was this mighty cycle repeated fir the Grand canyon region.

 Prior to election a future United States senator Is meek and lowly. He is not averse to holding babies or four aces, as the environment may demand. while campaigning for votes. One may safely slap him on the back without fear of rebuff. Before the last precinct Is counted he seems to know his sue cess. for the senatorial candidate stiff ens. dons his black clothes and fresh collar and begins to practice digni fed stride for future use on Pennsyl vania avenue. Babies and jackpots have lost their alluring possibilities; no longer does he tolerate familiarity; he is as patronizing as rooster who scratches worms for the hens and then eats them before his invited guests ar rive
 Seated in niche of the hall of con gress the new senator feels as though he should peer through microscope to make sure he is there, but cOnfiden- tial letters sent to the editor of the Jumpoff Breeze tell how he is prepar- ing bill advocating the irrigation Of Sagebrush valley; also how he is work ed to death by other senators asking favors of him. As school for fiction writers the United States senate has all other correspondence schools lashed to the mast.

MARK TWAlN'S LAST DAYS.

"sorry, but | Can't Hurry This Dying
 eusinsss," He Told . Friend.
 Mark Twain's last days, it will be re- membered. were spent in Bermuda, at the home of Vice Consul Allen, where he had gone following the shock of his daughter Jeans death. The great humorist, suffering from heart attacks which began to recur with increasing frequency. knew that was a dying man. Yet his whimsical humor never failed him. His biographer, Albert BiGelow Paine. writing in St. Nicholas, recalls how MT. Clemens at this time referred to the hypodermic injection which had become necessary to him. as hypnotic injunctions."
 As long as I remember anything" writes Mir. Paine in describing the trip from Bermuda. II shall remember the forty eight hours of that homeward voyage. He was comfortable at first. and then we ran into the humid, op- pressive air of the gulf stream, and he could not breathe. It seemed to me that the end might come at any mo ment. and this thought was in his own mind. but he had no dread, and his sense of humor did not fail. Once. when the ship rolled and his hat fell from the hook and made the circuit of the cabin floor, he said, The ship is passing the hat
 "I had been instructed in the use of the hypodermic needle and from time to time gave him the hypnotic injunc- tion.' as he called it. But it did not af- ford him entire relief. He could re- main in any position but little while Yet he never complained and thought only of the trouble he might be mak- ing Once he said;
 "T am sorry for you. Paine. but l can't help it-I can't bury this dying business
 And . little later:

Tribute
Paid To Wilson
By Gov. PinkIlanl

Voicing with undoubted sincerity
and evident feeling an appreciation or
the great task which President Wood.
row Wilson is undertaking for this
nation and the world in the fight for
freedom. Governor L. E. Pinkham
brought the Civic Convention dele
gates to their feet this morning when.
three rousing tigers were given FOR
the national executive as the governor
ended his convention address,
II was just after the governor had
finished reading his prepared conven-
ton address and after he had stood
waiting for the cheers to subside that
he was moved to utter extempora.
neously his glowing tribute and appre-
citation OF Woodrow Wilson. The gov.
ernor said:
No action in this world war con-
tinues or is put into effect with
out the leadership Of one man.
and, gentlemen. In the President
OF the United States. Woodrow
Wilson, you have that man, who
is, taking more responsibilities.
who is taking . greater interest
In the democracy of this world
than any man ever recorded IN
history His labors and his ef-
forts do not cover one country,
they cover the world. and, gentle
men. believe that we should ap-
preciate to the deepest extent the
character. the force. and with the
deepest feeling recognize the IN
paralleled responsibility with
which Woodrow Wilson under
takes this task.
After the cheering had stopped, J.
F. C. Hagens, chairman OF the con.
vention, arose and said:
Il believe every man present would
do all or give all to back up the Pres,
ident. Regardless of our birth or ota
former feelings, We must realize that
all who are not with the President and
the aims of our nation are opposed
to II"
AS Chairman Hagens was speaking,
W. r. Harrington proposed three
cheers and tiger for the President
and this was followed by more cheers
for the governor, all given with vim
and enthusiasm.

Periodically emphasizing the part
Hawaii may be called on to play In
the course of future events, because
of the great war, and the need for
"a bigger and better Hawaii, big.
ger and better America" J. F. C..
Hagens, president of the Honolulu
chamber Of Commerce, closed his vel.
coming address this morning at Lam
iakea. 1888. H..
Throughout his address, President
Hagens' words carried suggestion OF
advice that island business men must
not forget the worlds crisis, and that
they must be prepared to keep step
with American progress and Ameri.
can aims here as on the mainland.
But IL was his concluding remarks
that frankly drew attention to the
world war and the need for Hawaii
business preparedness. He said IN con-
clusion: t.-
stirring times are ahead OF us and
we must be prepared to meet them,
we must also realize that our COM
mon country is called up to play
q more important part in the world
affairs than. ever. 50 the watchword,
Preparedness is certainly not amiss
at this time.
Let us prepare during and after
the deliberations of the next two
days to meet all emergencies that may
confront us in the near future, and
let us prepare for q bigger aHS bet

America
: at affords me special pleasure, on
behalf of the civic organizations Of
the Island of Oahu, to bid you wei.
come to our city. The generous re.
Spouse to our invitation certainly
demonstrates the keen interest our
civic bodies are taking in these con-
Yentions and our problems of today.
"The unrelaxing aim to keep
abreast the wonderful stride of Amer
lean progress during the past few de-
cades brought into play the best in.
tegrity and foresight of the land, with
highly satisfactory results, working
steadily in its individual grooves to-
wards q successful accomplishment of
the whole. Today's problems, how
ever, are far more momentous under
the present world conditions and, to
be properly solved, require greater
unity of purpose and action-hence,
the more reason for the common coun-
eli and open and free exchange OF
views, in which you are asked to par.
ticipate during the session Of this
convention. Many subjects of vital
Importance to our little island com.
munities will be placed before you in
tfD course Of the next two days and,
I dare say, will receive at your hands
the same thorough and conscientious
consideration as has been accorded to
the successful solution OF our prob.
lens in the past.
sHawaii's progress prompted one OF
our local papers recently to publish a
