ecuton of this act shall, if not subject to mill
tary law, be guilty of a mlsdemeanor, and upon
conviction in the District Court of the United
States having jurisdiction thereof be punished
by imprisonment for not more than one year.
Students Of constitutional law will at once APP
preciate how radically these provisions trans
gress the principle Of dual sovereignty which
has hitherto underlain our Federal system, a
coroary of which is that the national govern
ment can impose legal duties upon state officers
only with the consent of and upon the terms
imposed by the states themselves It was upon
this principle that the first fugitive slave act
was pronounced partially void in 1912 in the
famous case Of Prieg agt Pennsylvania, Is
Pet, while a few years afterward the court
held on the same ground that the duty" with
which the Governor Of a state is charged by
the act of 1893 in connection with the rendition

Treasury to say what varieties of tea fit
for importation; it has authorized the Secre-
tary of Agriculture to prescribe regulations for
governing the use of the public grazing lands;
Il has invested the Federal Reserve Board, the
Federal Trade Commission and the Shipping
Board with the broadest kind of discretion
within their several fields; and illustrations of
the same character might be multiplied almost
indefinitely. Such legislation plainly derogates
from the principle Of the separation of powers
and the corollary doctrine that the legislature
cannot delegate its powers. IL had therefore
at first rather difficult gantlet to run with the
courts. But to-day the Federal Supreme Court,
at least, has definitely yielded its scruples
on these points and will sustain such legisla-
ton simply on the score Of necessity. (See
Buttfeld agt. Stranahan, 1872 U. s.; and Grim
aud agt u. S., 230 u. S. Necessity, however,
is at best vague concept and it is especially
50 in war time. One Of the most conspicuous
features, accordingly, of the legislation at
present pending in Congress is the extent to
which il relics upon Executive discretion to
supplement its provisions.
An even more striking possibility in the way
Of constitutional development than those just
referred to is foreshadowed by Section of
the CONSUMPTION act. This section authorizes
the President "to utilize the services" not only
Of all officers and agents Of the United States
and territories, but of the several states as
well. and IL further provides that any person

the recent reform of the Senates rules, forced
from the White House, have similar ten
dency? To be sure, the practice Of doing bust
ness by unanimous consent sometimes thwart-
ed the Congressional log-rollers, as where an
individual Senator or two held up rivers and
harDors bill at the end of the session; but or
dinarily it promoted it by giving disgrunt!ed
seekers after "pork" in the House a second
chance TO force their demands through friends
in the upper chamber. Now, however, this OPP
portunity for blackmal is at an end together
with the special defence that has hitherto ex-
listed against the worst scandals of log-rolllng
In both ways the case for Executive budget
making will be strengthened with Congress
itself.
Thus war has overtaken US at peculiarly
favorable moment for effecting lasting consti-
tutional changes For several years forces
have been accommodating behind the barriers of
the old Constitution, straining and weakening
them at many points, yet without finding ade-
ouate enlargement. Where the stress of war
falls coincident with SUCH forces may eX-
pect it to thrust aside accepted principles. not
for the time only, but permanently. Certainly,
if the war is considerably prolonged We may
expect our system to emerge from it substan-
TALLY altered in numerous ways, with the re-
suit however it may be. of postponing more
radical alterations many years.

 the athletic field, and therefore, she wants another kind of wrap, and cape
 satisfies her. The kind intended for service Is of thin cloth or woolen jersey

 on which there are deep patch pocke-1 and from which the material floats | away in circular folds over the shoulder. The other kind of cape that has cq@ into fashionable prominence is on sne

 two of them put together in the mid die. The top scarf is of plaid. striped or checked fabric, or 1t may be of the same facric as the lower scarf, covered with a heavy crewel embroidery in col

 merely few of the dominant activities
 which interest women this summer.
 While those who are rich and fash

Judge From Happy Valley

From The Pope of the Sig Sandy by John Fox, Jr., in the Scribner. It was early morning. A taxi swung into the paved circle in front of the hotel below and a little man in slouch hat and black frock coat, and with his | trousers in his boots, stepped gingerly i out He took off the hat with one hand, dropped his saddle-pockets from the other 1 and mopped his forehead with a ban- 1 dana handkerchief.

How much d owe ye an how do I git in hyeh?' l A giant in a gold-braided uniform had picked up the saddle-pockets when the 1 little man turned. | Well, now, that's clever of ye." he said thrusting out his hand, T reckon you air the propretor-hows the pope?
 Sure dunno, sor-this way, sor.' The astonished giant pointed to the swinging door and turned for light to the taxi man who doubled with laughter over his wheel, tapped his forehead, At the desk the little man pushed his hat back and put both elbows down. l "Whar's the pope?"
 The pope!" From behind the giant was making frantic signs, but the clerks brow cleared. "Oh, yes-front!
 The little man gasped and swayed as
 the elevator shot upward, but a moment
 later the little judge of Happy Valley
 and the pope of the Big Sandy were hand E in hand

 It is a story of a lonely old char woman in London who tricks and de- ceives her neighbors by insisting that she has son at the front, and who spends money and time in preparing bun dles for him. When faced with discov- cry by tlis alleged son, who attacks her deception with Scotch conscience, she explains that all the other women 1 in the country bragged of its being their war;" and that she lied because she wanted it to be "her war;
