amendment to the treaty, since it had
not received the assent of the presi-
dent of the Spanish commissioners"
The limits of the power of the SEN
ate have been for long time well de-
fined and in some quarters at least,
well understood. The limitations OF
certain partisan Senators have been a
revelation to many Americans who did
not, prior to the performance which
began in the Senate last winter, real
lie that certain distinguished gentle
men parading as patriots were merely
politicians.
Postmaster General Burleson ac-
cepts a very significant responsibility
when he tells the people what he will
have to tell Congress, that in the abb
sence of any appropriation he has de
Iliberately so acted in the raising OF
wages and the driving away of bust
ness from the telegraph and telephone
lines that a continuous deficit appears
in place of a profit, so that if the
courts jump on his raising of intra-
state rates, a big dip into the Treasury
will be necessary to pay rentals to the
companies.
Our form of government does not
contemplate any such creation of pub
lie debt obligations by an administra-
tive department without preliminary
legislation. Mr.. Burleson knew just as
well when the wire systems were seized
as he knows now that Congress had
authorized no debt creation at all. 1t
was manifestly up to him to run the
systems as they had been run for a
profit. That was the manifest inten-
ton of Congress in making no appro-
priation.
An opposition Congress is likely to
make an effort to find out whether
this is a government of laws or a gov
eminent of men. 1t will be justified in
getting to the bottom of every usurpa-
ton of Congressional functions by any
executive department. And the Post
master General, by his own confession,
ought to have precedence in any such
process of investigation. 1t is not an
enyiable form of precedence.-Brook-
Ign Eagle.

MICHIGAN ONCE HAD SLAVES
Only In 1885 Did Human Chattels Be-
come Improbable to Their
Owners in That State.
Pub. May q.

Few Detroiters of the present gen
GRAFTON know that Michigan was once
a slave territory, or that the city of
Detroit, for a period of nearly one
hundred years, included considerable
number Of slaves in its population, OBJ
serves the Detroit News The early
French settlers lived largely by trad
ing with the Indians. At first they
bought furs only, but each spring the
Indians of Michigan would make war
raids into territory south and west,
and they would bring back captives
whom they sometimes killed by tor
ture, but later they found ii more prof
liable to sell them to the white settlers
as slaves. Most of these Indian slaves
were from the Pawnee tribe.
Later negro slaves were bought in
the East, principally in the state Of
New York. When the British took pos
session in 1860 they found quite a
number of slaves, Indians and negro
and they continued the practice. The
census of the district in 1913 showed
46 men and 80 women slaves In Il com
munlty that numbered less that 200
adult white men. In 1872 there We're
10 slaves In Detroit. The ordinance
of 1887 forbade slavery in the North
west territory, but Detroiters paid no
attention to this Constitutional act
There were enough negroes in Detroit
In 1907, slave and free, to enable Gov
ernor Hull to organize company of
colored militia.
In 1918 the assessor for Wayne coun-
ty made slaves taxable property, and
this proved a encouragement to slave
holding BY 1882 there were only 81
slaves left in Michigan territory, and
in 1896 the last one had been manu-
mitted. Less than 20 years later Mich
igan, having found slaveholding I'M
profitable, became ardently abolition
list, and Detroit was converted into Il
terminal of the underground railway"
through which runaway slaves from
the South found their way to freedom
in Canada.

EVERY MAN TO HIS TRADE
In Siberian Prison Camps Each Un'
fortunate Exile Followed His
Vocation.

Far more popular than the church
were the library and the school, a
regular organized high school-college
where law, mathematics, chemistry
ten languages and many other sub
jects We're taught. Again, this part
of our work rose out Of very humble
beginning. The first school was held,
almost secretly, in an old washroom
and ambitious Russian guards con
fiscated logarithm tables and French
dictionaries because they looked SO
suspicious. And the teacher of ge-
ometry, who made those peculiar
drawings, was arrested and taken for
spy, who taught how to escape with
a plan Of the camp. The library was
born when the first Y. NJ. G. A. sec
rotary arrived and gave six or eight
books which he found in his trunk
to members of the head committee
to read, Johan w. Prinz writes in
Asia magazine. The sport commit
tee was in charge OF the sOcker field
and tennis courts and in some camps
there was even n gymnasium. A
small bank was established for the
convenience of those who wanted to
borrow a few rubles on their official
from banks in Pc
trOgrad that money had been received
from relatives I'm the central countries
(by way of Sweden) and was on the
way. Work shops We're organized 50
that the tradesmen, the carpenter, the
shoemaker, the barber, might turn to
his trade and work for the benefit
Of his comrades. But the pride Of
the Y. NJ. c. A. was the American
kitchen. This welfare kitchen was nee
essary because the Russians never
gave the men enough to eat. Here
they had chance, once in while,
to get a hearty meal for a few ko-
peks; here a certain number of sick
and poor could eat every day without
cost How many favorable comments
have l heard upon those kitchens,
which really became a blessing for
the prisoners

ANIMAL HEROES IN WARFARE
Some Praise Should Be Spared for
the Dumb Brutes Who Gave Their
Lives for Liberty.

There was one factor for victory In
the war which we overlook in passing
out the praise and medals.
To the dumb animals who bore
much of battles brunt, to the horses,
mules and dogs, great credit is due
Patient, Flooding, brave, obedient
creatures of faithfulness
Wondrous fine the steed of officer,
but equally grand the sturdy haulers
of calsson and gun carriage
Butt of limitless jokes, the long
cared, lean-legged, tuft-tailed army
mule has glorlfed himself. Endless
the supply trains he tugged tagging
distances, across shell swept spots and
through fierce fire.
The Red Cross dog, too, and the
sledge dogs in the Alps have been
canine heroes, leaping into the jaws
Of death on missions of mercy OF
pulling precious packsleds among
mountain peaks and passes.
Perpetual pasturage would be a jtst
reward for our four-footed fighters
with freedom from further work. To
Fido, allot choice Bones to gnaw and
If you'd make his home dog heaven
rid the world of fieas for these, the
dogs of war"

Eorecastino Storms.

BY means OF what is believed to be
a new scientific discovery, 1t is claimed
that weather forecasts may be made
with reasonable accuracy two weeks
in advance.
AS result of research, conducted
by a former chief of the weather bu-
reau and representative of the
Smithsonian institution, It has been
found that there are riffs In the up
per clouds of the solar atmosphere
which cause variation In the amoant
of heat radlated to the earth. II is
said the investigators have discovered
the period of time between the pas
sage OF heat rift In the solar at
mosphere and the appearance of re
sulting storms on the earth.
II has been found that at times
these heat riffs persist for several
months and that they have produced
corresponding disturbances here,

MAN OF IMAGINATIVE MIND
Among Many Useful Inventions Of
Seth Boyden Was That of Pop
ular Patent Leather

The first patent" leather was the
invention Of Seth Boyden, who was
born in FoXboro, Mass, one hundred
and thirty years ago. He was brought
up on a farm and educated In a dis
trict school and in the village black
smith shop, where he spent all his
leisure time "tinkcling" and expert
menting. His first invention was Il
machine for making nails and files.
Later he invented a machine for split
ting leather, and in 1915 he engaged
in the leather business in Newark, n.
J. In 1916 he invented an appliance
for cutting brads and in the following
year he perfected his patent leath-
err. The leather prepared by this
process gradually became popular, and
until 1881 Boyden was principally en-
gagged in its manufacture. He then
turned his attention to steam engines,
and made several improvements In To-
comotives He took part in the Cali
fornia gold rush of 40 but soon re
turned to New Jersey, where he en-
caged IT. farming and produced vari-
ETY. of strawberries vastly superior to
any then known in both size and quail
ity. He died in 1870, and his memory
Is perpetuated by statue at Newark.

Radial Tether for Animals.

To tether his COW so as to admit
of It's having large feeding range,
and yet so as to be perfectly secure
and require no attention. a Pennsyl-
vania man adopts the following
method: He took a pole, 20 or 30 #.
In length, pivoted at one end and fit
ted with an iron ring large enough
to slip along from end to end. The
small end of the pole was supported
by light metal wheel from some
old farm implement, or a wooden one
cut from a piece of plank. The ami
NAL was fastened with halter chain,
too short to get tangled up with
the animals legs.

The Blacker They Turn.

A letter received in this city from
Roy Schultz, Danville colored man,
now in military service In France, tells
of good Joke the colored boys had
at the expense of the Huns. A colored
division had relieved a white division
during the night when the Germans
were sending over regular shower Of
gas shells. The heavy fighting CON
tlnued the next day, and a German
prisoner taken by the colored boys was
heard to remark: 1--WE can't whip
these Yanks, and there is no use try
Ing. The more gas we send over on
them the blaeker they turn and the
harder they fight" is News.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1919-05-22

1t is very evident that in urging the
discharged soldiers, sailors and mar
ines to keep up the life insurance poll
cics they obtained while in service, the
government considers solely the inter
rsts of the beneiciaries. 1t may be eX-
pcdient, Of course, in many cases to
scale down the amount. The men in
service were encouraged to take all the
insurance they could carry, up to the
limit of $4,000, without depriying
themselves and their dependents of
necessary ready money. The face of
the average policy, more than $4,000,
is probably a larger sum than the civil
ian is usually insured for, and the pre-
miums would be burdensome on a
small income.
But of the importance of preserving
this connection with the Government
there can be no question. Within the
coming five years, if the policy is alive,
the holder will have the privilege of
exchanging it for one of any other
form that may he chosen, without I'M
dergoing a physical examination. And
liberal provision is made for reinstat-
ing men who have allowed the premi-
ums to lapse. Providence journal.

The Philadelphia Public Ledger pub
fishes a dispatch from its Washington
correspondent, Robert 7. Small, which
includes the following paragraphs;
All thought Of separating the League
of Nations covenant from the treaty of
peace with Germany virtually has been
abandoned by the Republican leaders
in the Senate They have been adj
vised by experts in international law
that they would have no legal right to
attempt ihus to amend the treaty, and,
furthermore, they have been authori-
tatiyely told they cannot white new
provisions into the treaty
Coupled with the advice of Fred
erick r. Coudert, one of the authorl-
ties upon international law who has
consulted with the Senators and con
WINGED them Of their limitations, IS the
belated discovery that the powers Of
the Senate in ratifyng treaties had
been defined by the United States
Supreme Court. Here is quotation
from Justice Brown in cOncurring with
the conclusion Of the court discussing
the treaty Of peace with Spain;
obviously the treaty must contain
the whole contract between the par
ties, and the power of the Senate is
limited to a ratification Of such terms
as have already been agreed upon be-
tween the President acting for the
United States, and the commissioners
of the other contracting Power.
'"The Senate has no right to ratify
the treaty and introduce new terms
into it, which shall be obligatory upon
the other Power, although it may re-
fuse its ratification, or make such rati-
fcation conditional upon the adoption
Of amendments to the treaty. If, for
instance, the treaty with Spain had
contained a provision instating the in
habitants Of the Philippines as citi-
zens Of the United States, the Senate
might have refused to ratify il until
this provision was stricken out But i
could not ratify the treaty and then
adopt resolution declaring II not u
be its intention to admit inhabitants 81
the Philippines to the privileges Of citi.
zenship in the United States. Such
resolution would be imperative as an

Whether the Germans ultimately do
or do not sign the peace treaty offered
them at Versailles, the howl OF their
Chancellor Schcidemann need not be
taken as indicative.
It is clear enough that they do moi
mean to sign until they make all posi-
BILE play for better terms. Buster,
abuse and threats such as Scheldemann
bellows may be regarded as a part OF
the barrage which they are trying to
Law. behind which they hope to dis
lodge their conquerors from the posi-
tons they have taken and which they
mean to hold.
However the German people may
have been kept in the dark as to the
extent of the devastation wrought by
German arms, such of their leaders as
Scheidemann know that the reparatlon
demanded is not excessive and that the
terms of peace are by no means as
hard as those which Germany eXacted
of Russia and Rumania and would have
exacted of France, Belgium, Great
Britain, Italy and America had she
won.
The truth is that the Germans are
as unmanly in defeat as they were ar
rogant and oycrbearing when they
thought they had the world at their
mercy.
