the learned author forcibly and most truly
says

It robs principles of all false sanctty and

(''The State" page 1897
These ancient rights were not first set forth
in the Charters Of Henry and John: those
rights had been in existence 'from time
whereof the memory of man runneth not to
the contrary"
This fact, immensely important to the con-
sideration of the new laws of 1917 is we'll
stated by DR.. Woodrow Wilson, his then title,
In his valuable book, "The State
"Our own charters and constitutions have
-. been little more than formal statements
of rights and immunties which had come to
belong to Englishmen quite independently
OF royal gifts or favor. And so our own
Colonial charters . simply granted the
usual rights of English freemen.
Our constitutions have formulated our DO
(The State, p. 564.)
Chancellor Kent, Judge Cooley, Sir Will
ham Blackstone, and all other authorities with
whom L am acquainted, state the same great
truth-toWlt: that the Great Charter Of 1916
and It's succeeding legislation were nothing
but the re-assertion of ancient liberties In
deed, Blackstone says in his Commentaries,
il my memory is not at fault, that nearly all
Of the remedial laws of modern times consist
Of the abolition Of abuses which were intro
duced by tyrannical Kings.
AS everybody knows, our forefathers con
tended that these ancient English liberties
came with the colonists to this country. A
seven years war established that proposition.
The Mother Country acknowledged the In
dependence Of Thirteen American States, sep
010teIy, by name: the old Confederation never
issued a Declaration of Independence, and
was never recognized by Great Britain
The old Confederation of the Thirteen
States had an Army and Navy of its own;
and this Army and Navy were Independent
of the States.
Let us bear that in mind, for the fact has
its bearing on the issue now in Court.
The independent, sovereign States compos-
ing the Old Confederation select delegates to
Constitutional Convention, commissioned to
amend the existing Articles of Union In
stead, the delegates create new Constitution,
and submit their work to the States, for ac-
ceptance or rel lection.
The requisite number of the States separ-
ately ratify the new instrument of Union,
although North Carolina and Rhode Island
did not.
Before her accession to the new Union,
what was North Carolina? What was Rhode
Island?
There can be but one answer each of those
States was a separate, independent sover-
eighty, just as Sweden is today.

or our Union were men who were lOvlI
supporters OF sovereign States, and who were
careful to safeguard the States in the preser-
Walton OF those sovereign powers not dele
gated to the Federal Government
Not only does the organic law Of the Union
say this, in express terms, but that Supreme
Law also recognizes the existence. in the peo-
pie themselves, Of powers which even the
States could not lawfully impair
Ii may use the simile-the people are the
great reservoir Of sovereignty, from which the
States draw for their needs Afterwards, the
States expressly gave to the Federal Govern-
ment a specified portion Of this power so
drawn from the reservoir; but neither the
FedeT0l Government nor the States hare ep-
h0uSted tie source from 2rhich theiy p0acers
acere dralcn.
Always, the people remain the rghtful
heirs of the English liberties which the writ
ers call ''immemoral"; and, if some of these
inherited rights are not stated in the organic
laws, they nevertheless exist, and can be as
serted whenever the people see fit
State Or Federal Constitutions, subject to
amendment at the popular will, have recently
undergone great changes; and it is not i'm
probable that the people will draw from the
reservoir the power to enfranchise the
women, and to prohibit the manufacture Of
Intoxicating liquors.
In dividing sovereign powers between the
States and the Federal Government which
they were creating our Fathers took particu-
lar pains to protect the States from military
enCrOachment
A student of the Convention Debates, of
1he Fcderaltst, and of the Constitution itself,
is struck by that
In the Philadelphia Convention, the dread
of ,,4+
ance; and in The FederaziSt, the best efforts
of Hamilton and Madison were put forth to
allay those fears.
Again and again, Hamilton and Madison
reminded their cOuntrymen that the Federal
Government could never deprive the States
Of their power to withstand Federal en-
croachments, because the States would always
have control of their militia, except when the
Federal Government needed it, to repel
invasion, &C., and that, eren then, the
States own officers would remain in command.
The scheme of the organic law of the
Union, as shown III the very language used,
was that the Federal Government should have
an Army OF its own, and that each State
should have militia system capable of main
tanning order, enforcing law and safeguard
ing the people from any sudden invasion.
The Federal Government has no authority
whatever over the States troops, save in the
three emergencies mentioned in the Constitu-
ton.
It follows, therefore, that if the new laws
of 1917 obliterate this clearly drawn distinc-
ton, and lump the State troops with the Ma
tional Army, they violate one of the most
vital parts of the organic law, and destroy an
integral part of the Constitutional scheme.
To merge the militia with the regular Ma
tlonal Army, is to revolutionize our sysefz of
government, and to set up another totally dis
similar.
Under the Constitution, as plainly written,

United States.
That is all.
What Rhode Island and North Carolina
surrendered the other eleven States yieIded---
that much and no more
The first question
What is the real character of our Govern
ment!
Reasoning applicable to other nations fails
here What Parliament may do in England,
is one thing: what Congress may do, in the
United States, another.
We lose our road before we get good started,
if we ignore the dual system of the United
States.
Gen. Logan, 1870 said of the United States
Constitution: ut cannot have the aspect of
both a sovereign nation and a collection of
sovereign States.
a paradox OF insurmQuntable character is
involved III the very idea of such a thing"
In his reply, Mr.. Hill said
ut is a remarkable fact that, Just what the
honorable Senator from Illinois calls an In
surmountable paradox, rs cruelty the C0nstj-
tuition Of the United States"
Mr.. Hill then proceeds to quote from Mr..
Mad1son's papers in The Feder0zist, and from
Mr. Websters replies to Hayne and Calhoun,
demonstrating the mixed character Of our sys-
tenn, the Federal Government being national
In some respects and federal in others-for
instance, the House of Representatives is ma
tional and the Senate, federal; while the Elec-
toral College Is partly both.
Mr.. Hill rose in one of his flights of ora
torical splendor as he described our complex
system, evolved from the wisdom and expert
ence OF struggling centuries, a system whose
model had never existed He said, "When you
hear about a man going to Rome or to Greece
or to Switzerland, or anywhere, to find mod
els by which to understand the Constitution
Of the United States, he is going in dark
places to gather light"
Tracing briefly the contest between the two
conflicting theories concerning the Constitu-
ton, Mr.. Hill denounced the extremists of
both theories, and he is asked this memorable
questiOn-"If he is a traitor who would di-
vide the States, how can he be less a traitor
who would destroy the States?"
Within it's orbit, the national government
is supreme within their spheres, the States.
For example, the State is sovereign over
the jury-box, and the qualifications of vot-
ers: the national Government has no author
ity except to prevent racial discrimination.
Thus the sovereign States have to supply
the Federal Government with Jurors for its
own courts, and with electors for its own cleo
tons.
In fact, the national Government has no
electorate at ALL the State not only furnishes
the voters, but holds the elections.
If the national Government were deprived
of State voters and jurors, it would be emas-
culated; but if the States were deprived Of
everything coming to them from the Federal
Government, they would still be separate, in
dependent, completely organized, and self
sufficient sovereignties.
Unless this undeniable fact is kept in mind,
we miss the true understanding of our COM
pick system Of government, the like of which

WEIRD BOLT KILLS
LABORER IN FIELD
Lightning Staying George
Hoffner Leaves Cloud of
Greenish Smoke

A lightning bolt which left a greenish-
hued cloud Of smoke after the manner Of
an exploding bomb or shell today struck
and killed George HoTner, forty-four years
old as he was cutting at the roots Of
Clump Of spinach on the farm Of Walter
Shiser, Twenty-siNth and Beaver streets
The action Of the bolt was described as
frcakish and remarkable by those who Wit
messed the killing of Hoffner. Walter O..
Shsler and Henry r.. Smons were work
ing in the field about twenty yards from the
vi tim. All three men were cutting Ncge-
tables to take to market Ominous looking
clouds had gathered overhead and inter
mittent drops of rain fell. suddenly there
was binding fash followed by a terrific
eport.
The body Of Hoffner was seen to leap
ten feet into the air, while the knife which
Walter Shisler had poised in his right hand
preliminary to cutting lettuce shot from
his fingers like a dart. described a high
curve and struck, blade downward, into the
earth, ten rods away. 4 thick cloud Of
greenish smoke, about fifteen feet In dia-
meter, noated over the field near Hoffner's
body. There was a strong smell of sulphur
everywhere.
The two men rushed to where the body
ri Hoffner lay stretched on the ground. In
the center OF Hoffners forehead was a deep
black mark about the size Of a silver dollar.
Homer S ClOtnlnE ndO been torn completely
from his body. His shoes lay twenty feet
away and shreds from his trousers, shirts
and stockings lay scattered over the field.
The basket which Hoffner had used 10
gather spinach was torn to pieces. For sew
eral square feet the ground was cut into
burrows where the bolt had CaVorted about
after striking Hoffner.
The body was removed to the Methodist
Hospital where physicians said that life
was extinct Hoffner was distant relative
Of the Shislers and had been employed on
the farm for several years. He is survived
by his mother and two sisters, in Atlantic
city.

TWIiJING BALKS PLAN OF
TRANSIT REFERENDUM
Refuses to Prepare Statement of
City's Objection to Pro-
posed Lease
WILLING FOR A DEBATE
Will Submit Chamber of Commences S
Proposal to Mayor Smith Before
Final Decision

The plan of the Chamber of Commerce to
hold a referendum Of the entire member
ship on the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company's lease proposal struck an un'
expected snaE today. Transit Director
Twinning, who was asked by the chamber
to summarize the citv's objections to the
lease in an article Of 1000 words, tlatly
refused to do 50.
The Directors principal reason for refus-
ing was that the Chamber of Commerce
had asked two men, Ellis AmeS Ballard,
counsel for the company. and A. Merritt
Taylor former Transit Director, who are
i'm favor of the proposed lease, to prepare
articles while the chamber had only asked
one man who was opposed to the lease.
The director further objects to this
method of deciding the question He said
he would be glad to appear at a meeting of
the fun membership of the Chamber of
Commerce and debate the transit lease with
any man or men whom It's proponents may
choose to defend IT, He said he would
show the letter from the Chamber Of Com
merca, signed by ~ b. Kelly. its secretary,
to Mayor Smith, befCCe deciding what
answer was to be made.
The chamber, which is Philadelphia's
largest and most influential organization Of
business men, has had the proposed transit
lease under consideration for three months
The r after has been discussed at meetings
of the executive committee and Of the pub
lie utilities committee the latter having
heard all the principals in the controversy
outline their views upon the merits and
demerits of the offer Unable to come to
any unanimous opinion, however, the Off.
GERS of the organization decided upon the
referendum as the fairest and most salts
factory way of determining the policy Of
the body.
Just how the views of the leading pro-
ponents and opponents of the Companys
offer would have been laid before the MEM
bers of the Commerce Chamber for their
vote had not been determined definitely
Although there were TO be two articles in
dorsing the lease as against one opposing
It, the officers Of the chamber feel that they
were doing justice to both sides in the con-
troVersy.
A Joint meeting of the executive commit
tee and the public utilities committee had
been called by President Ernest T, Trigg
for next Tuesday afternoon. when the de-
tails of taking the referendum vote was to
be worked out Each of. the men was asked
to have his article completed and ready to
submit by Tuesday noon
Mr., Taylor informer the chamber that
he will follow its request and submit an
article Mr.. Ballard said that he would
take the matter up with President Thomas
r. Mitten, Of the company, later today.
