ie was knocked unconscious and died
Without being able to tell the nurses
and physicians anything concerning
himself
Mr.. Richardson could not in the
least be blamed for the accident as the
nan stepped into the street car track
Unexpectedly and before the car could
be stopped he was struck. There is
path between the street car track
and the railroad track but the man
was probably afraid of being hit by
falling coal from the train and chose
the street car track to walk in with
fatal results.
This should be warning to every
one that is in the habit of using the
street car or railroad tracks to walk
on. If it must be done be sure to look
where you are going and to also look
behind and see what is coming. Safe

POWERS or CONGRESS-.

the mangcr act by delaying doing any
thing and hesitating SO long to en-
dorse the constitutional powers Of the
president to do something. They are
afraid to put so much power in the
hands OF one man. but are not much
disposed to exercise any powers them
selves. Some. no doubt. are held back
by selfish reasons and some have axes

Wilson do IL. Congressman TOwncr
Of Iowa who was lecturer on CON
stitutional law on university faculty
before being elected to the lawmaking
body, has recently devoted himself to
study Of the war powers Of congress
under the constitution. The result Of
his researches he has laid before the
house. quoting from decisions Of the
supreme court and distinguished com
mentators on the constitution to prove
his contention that congress has
every power necessary TO carry on the |
war and may exercise such power |
under constitutional sanction" No |
other powers Of the government have |
been more strongly contested than |
those regarding the waging Of war |
But" declares Mr.. Towncr, "war |
powers are greater than other powers
because war is the supreme effort OF
a nation" They were not limited by
the authors OF the constitution, as it
would have been folly to limit the
force necessary for defense when it
was impossible to set bounds to the
offense to which the country might
be subjected Congress has powers
lplenty but what We need is con.
