Once again, the Reds of Prussia
Are revolving ala Russia,
And the air is full of dynamite and

Though they tied the can to Hindy,
Still they like to raise shindy,

-. WHAT THEY SAY -
CURRENT COMMENT
OFkTHE PRESS
Some Things Being Talked and
Thought About
BELATED RHODE ISLAND.

THE original thirteen American
states regarded themselves as
free sovereign and independent" and
they voluntarily created both the first
confederation and the subsequent
union. That both acts were volun-
tary and in no sense forced is shown
by many record facts, including
Maryland failure to enter the con-
federation until after the lapse of
five years, and North Cardinals and
Rhode Islands hesitation of two years
before they finally decided that it
would be to their interests to Join the
union. The present national senti-
ment was a slow and gradual growth
of more than a century. Several of
the original thirteen states did not
feel quite satisfied and safe until I'M
der pressure in 1889 congress adopt
ed ten amendments to the unions
constitution, the tenth declaring that
the powers not delegated to the
United States by the constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the states, re-
spectively, or to the people"
Rhode Island. which entered the
union reluctantly, now claims that
nationwide prohibition is an invasion
of its police powers and that such
powers were reserved to it in the
tenth amendment to the constitution.
One is reminded of the contention of
the Southern States before the war
of 1868 that the constitution it
self, before any amendments were
adopted, protected them in the right
to own negro slaves, and that, in re-
pudiating the fugitive slave law, the
Northern States repudiated the con-
stitution itself. William Lloyd Gar
rison acknowledged this to be trae
when at birmingham, Mass, in 1854
he publicly burned a copy of the con-
stitution, denouncing that document
as covenant with death and an
agreement with hell" the repudiat-
ed fugitive saw being but an elabora-
ton of this clause of the constitu-
tion
mo person held to service or la
Dor in one state under the laws there
of, escaping into another, shall, in
consequence of any law or regulation
therein, be discharged from such serv-
ice or labor, but shall be delivered
up on claim of the party to whom
such service or labor may be due"
Rhode Islands case would be
stronger now if in the middle of the
last century it had held that, until
the constitution was changed or
amended, the Southern States had a
complete legal right to continue the
institution of slavery after the North
ern States for various reasons had
given it up, and that the fugitive
slave law based on the slavery pro-
viding constitution ought to be re
spected. But Rhode Island Joined
with the other Northern States in
saying in effect. eve don't care
what the constitution says. Slavery
is behind the age and must be abol-
ished." That will be precisely the
prohibition attitude toward Rhode Is
lands contention. Prohibition sentl-
ment will respond in effect: we
don't care what the constitution says
about the reserved rights OF the

Delightful Taste, Immediate

The sensation of the year in the

enthusiastically endorsed by the high

All drug stores are now supplied
with the wonderful new elixir, so all
you have to do to get rid of that cold
is to step into the nearest drug store,
hand the clerk half a dollar for a bottle
of Aspironal and tell him to serve you
two teaspoonfuls with four teaspoon

watch in your hand, take the drink
at one swallow and call for your money

Nor need Rhode Island expect any
help from the Supreme Court The
history of Supreme Court decisions
reveals a growing tendency toward
interpretations in harmony with pop
ular sentiment rather than strict ad-

stitution, and at least on the fact of
the record popular sentiment is over

prohibition. Rhode Island is sixty

A FRIEND whose name l do not

to gain renown he tried all ways to
win attention, and set folks talk

chances seemed against him, none
yielded to his smile or lure; the
pent-up Uticas, they fenced him,

Lester is for Amendment

Hon. kenna Lester, member OF the
House of Delegates from this county.
and n member of the roads and inter
nal navigation committee of that body,
was here few hours Monday. and
while in town took occasion to answer
some of the arguments that are being
advanced against the good roads a.
mendment The aforesaid committee
of which Mr.. Lester was an active and
prominent member, had in charge the
resolution providing for the amendment
and he is therefore authority OF the
subject.
Mr.. Lester pointed out that in the
event the amendment carries the Leg
islature is limited TO an issue of fifty
millions of the bonds; that already a
third OF that amount has been spent
md in some instances wasted by the
wholly inadequate pieccmeal methods
of road construction now in vogue. In
other words there is too much waste
nnder the present system.
Jt has been figured ont that a levy
of twenty cents on the hundred dollars
valuation of taxable property will take
care of the bonds. We now pay TWEEN
ty-6ve cents. consequently the taxpay-
ers of Calhoun county will he saved
five cents on the hundred dollars if
the bond amendment is carried and
the construction OF Glass 4 roads tax
on over by the state.
There arc so many arguments in fay-
or of the proposition and so few q.
gainst it. that it seems unreasonable
that anyone should be against it, The
argument. selfish ns it may be- that
should appeal most TO the voters OF
counties like Calhoun, is that with our
large Glass a mileage CG6 miles, we
can never hope to build and maintain
good roads unaided. We must have
the help Of the larger and richer coun.
