AMENDING OR ABoL1sH1NG.

When the house at Bismarck had
under discussion the other day the
resolution making effective within ten
Gays all laws passed at this session of
t he legislature, Representative
Twichell asked If the Socialist ma
jority expected to amend the constitu-
ton Of the state on the floor of the
house. He got no answer. While a
resolution was up for similar discus
sion, Representative Burtness proposed
an amendment to the effect that the
clause in the constitution &C: ering
the time at which new laws should be
effective be hereby amended. The
house did not think it necessary to
adopt this form. but passed the bill
regardless of what the provision of
the constitution might be.
Socialism does not really plan to
amend our constitution. Il does plan
10 ignore and abolish 1t. That has
been shown during the entire course
Of Socialist agitation In this state, and
the activities shown by the Socialist
lcaders here are entirely consistent
With their activities elsewhere. They
have no use for a constitution of any
kind, and do not intend to recognize
or be governed by one. This was
shown clearly in the legislative session
OF 1917 when a determined effort was
rnade to enact House Bill "A In de-
fiance of the specific proyis>n Of the
constitution. Every intelligent per-
son knew that House Bill "A was IN
constitutional. The conditions provide
certain methods whereby 1t may be
amended. House Bill a. was an at
tempt to change the constitution IN A
not provided, and directly con-
trary TO the existing fundamental law.
The adoption then made was typical OF
the entire course OF Socialist effort
which is to destroy fundamental law.
and not even to be governed by such
statutoryslaws as may be enacted from
Tina to time.
Your true Socialist is a lawless In
dividuaL He processes to desire the
enactment Of certain laws He win bs
governed by those laws only so long
AZ they suit his convenience, and then
he viii calmly ignore them, and pro-
coed upon his own lawless course.

THE WELCOME.

Little eyes. that shine at night
Make the sort of beacon light n6
That. I really want to see s
When the day is through with me.
There Is nothing that I know
On this, earth that thrills me so
AS that fash Of love which flies
Out Of little dancing eyes
AS a signal to express
Love and trust and happiness.
Little eyes. ear tell that way
More than words can, eve say,
In those little sfAshin9 eyes
All my Inspiration lies. E
Days are long and tasks are hard;
Frequently my way Is barred;
Often strangers sneer or frown
At my. labors in the town;
Some ind fault with what I, do
Some suspect my motives, too,
Some are quick to criticize
But those glorious little eyes,
Asking neither pomp nor sham,
Welcome me for what I am.
"This is home" they seem to say,
Nov put all your cares away!
Here we. are to welcome you,
Glad that all your work is through.
Come and rest and romp in fun.
All the dreary tasks are done. +.
We've got hugs and kisses, too,
Saved up here to give to you.
Here we are. with eyes aglow,
Telling you we love you so.
Just forget the world Of men;
We are glad you're home again."

Nov. 30.-(By rMail)--The famous
inter-island singing, contests. in all

choristers in.the past.
When the centenary Of the arrival
of the first missionaries is celebrated
at Kailua, 'Kona. next year, there win
be a singing competition staged by
choirs from the island Of Hawaii.
The annual inter-island ,choristers'

CHAPTER xv1.-Continued.

Dear child" said the older wom-
an. II hope she will never see you
again:" and she put out a protecting
hand to touch the girl.
Hilda turned to her with a quick,
loving glance.
"And how good you were to me
that night in Washington. taking me
to that lovely hotel when / looked
such a fright! OH! You must have
been so ashamed Of me!"'
MY dear:", said the woman gently:
you wore a lovely SOU in your eyes,
What did anything else matter? Be-
sides, you're mistaken about your
looks that night. You had had e
hard trip, Of course. and were a bit
r1ussed, but the first thing l noticed
about you vas the pretty contour of
the little cap you ~improvised so
cleveriy. Your dress was neat and
simple and fitted we'll. There was
nothing noticeably III of place about
you anywhere, so put that out of
your mind forever. Now, tell me
what are your plans for the winter?
IL I am not mistaken it is almost
time for you to register at the uni
ve-sity il o expect to be a student
there this year."
The journey vas all too brief for
the delightful plans they had to talk
about, and when they reached Phila-
delphia- there was the big car wait
ing with her mother inside, and Karl
sitting with the chauffeur in front.
The winter looked very bright to Hill
da as she watched the lights of the
city whirl by, and realized that this
was to be her new home.

The situation was explained by

that when Cen March assumed the
duties OF chief OF staff he issued in
structions that Cen Black should not
have direct communication with the

see the secretary on subjects relat-
