ent time, but the delightful ancient
state house), and the charming State
house of Annapolis. All three are
lessons in good taste, in positive
beauty. And the Philadelphia struc-
ture is the finest of the three. :.
The State house is a beautiful
building, alike in it's mass effects and
In it's smallest details, in the views of
it from the exterior or In rooms
within. Its facade is exactly centered,
and similarly winged and arcaded at
right and left. 1t is beautiful and 1t is
balanced.
Viewed From the Outside.
Seen from Independence square,
which is a large open space, stone
paved, with intervening surfaces of
grass and fair-sized trees, it is a tow
cred building of time-mellowed brick,
with white window stones, with small
ish pillared doorway beneath a tower
built outside the lines Of the main
building, and, over this doorway,
splendid Palladian window. Above
are cornicings, and a fetching, bulg-
ing, bow-fronted window, and above
this is a clock-tower, square at the
bottom and rising in eight-sided dimi-
nutions to six-sided narrow pinnacle
which is topped by a trident-like
weathervane Of gilt.
| Enter beneath the triple Palladian
window, with its heavy muntins, and
passing by the foot of the finest stairs
in America, you enter broad and
brick-paved central hall; and there
comes the sense Of glory of white
with touches of mahogany and darkish
green.
The rooms are serenely beautiful ;
they are dignified, large and light ;
there are pillars and pilasters, there
are charming cornices, there are pan
els; in every direction one sees beau
tiful corners or vistas or entrance
ways. The views through the arches
of the room of the Supreme court,
into and across the Hall of the Sign
ing, defined by those three pilastered
arches. is astonishingIy effective.
At the foot of the wonderful stairs
now stands the Liberty bell, upon
which may still be read the Bible
verse which long before the Revolu-
ton was cast upon it by its makers
proclaim liberty throughout all the
land, upon all the inhabitants thereof. !"
Problem Before People.
There is abundant room for Inn
provement, but the point is that i'm
provement consists for the most part
in adherence to the original plan, or
at most in slight changes or modifica-
tions, such as have been made from
time to time-not all of which. by the
way, have proved to be wise. The
problem is one of applying sound ana
well-tried principles to life, removing
obstacles to the efficient working OF
tested machinery, and realizing In
thought and act the noblest ideals.
From this point of view, the attitude
of Americans should be appreciative
and grateful, rather than critical. To
turn for light from America to Russia
is very like turning from Christianity
TO voodooism. To judge America or

Americanism by the worst features Of
our national life, or by our failures, is
much as it would be to judge Chris

Tossing belief In it, have been trait

and dishearten, but there is also much
to cheer and give hope, and abundant
reason and ground for faith. So we
of all people ought to be able to greet

Montana Senator Attacks ConSd.
 nationality of Parts

Washington, May S.--The constitu- tionalty of the provisions of the tariff bill giving the president broad pow CTS to increase or decrease rates and to change classihcatons-the so-called flexible tariff plan-was attacked to- day in the senate by Senator Walsh. democrat, Montana.
 Many authorities were cited by the speaker to support his contention that the power invested in congress by the constitution to lay and collect taxes, duties and excises and to regulate commerce with foreign nations would not be delegated.
 At the outset the senator told the senate he was not unmindful of tho futility of argument in this body founded upon the limitations imposed by our fundamental law of which re- cent events have afforded some added evidence nor of the difference with which the contention of those opposed on other grounds no legislation before the congress, that it is unconstitution- al, is regarded.
 Aside from the constitutional angle, the provisions were attacked by Sen- ator Walsh on other grounds. Poirft- ing out that no provision was made for judicial review of the presidents findings, Senator Walsh called atten- ton that where congress had dele- gated authority to the interstate com- merce commission the federal trade commission and other like agencies their findings had been made sub ject to review by the courts.

MUCH PLANT FOOD BEING WASHED AWAY
More Than Two Billion Dollars
 Worth Lost Annually

Lexington, Ky May s.-More of the plant elements that help to make Humber crops in the Ohio and Miss issippi valleys is washed into the Gulf of Mexico annually than is used by crops as they grow to maturity, according 10 bulletin on The Re- moval of Plant Food by Natural Drainage" just issued by the Ken trcky Agricultural Experiment Sta ton, The bulletin Is the result Of re- search work by Dr, J. E. McHargue, one of the station chemists.
 The two great rivers annually wash away total of 47,S22,574 tons Of the six elements that furnished food for plants, according to the bulletin. The cash value of these lost clements is placed at s2,075,o8S,324. The Miss issippi river alone, it is asserted, an- nually empties more than one and one-half billion dollars worth, washed away from points along Its banks. in to the Gulf of Mexico every year.
 samples Anaiyzed.
 If all Of the sources of plant food loss from the soil could be accounted for, said the chemist it is probab abe that the portion removed permanent ly by crops, in any system of farming, would be found extremely small in comparison with the amount lost through drainage waters. This, he says, is one Of the problems of agri- culture to which farmers have given little attention.
 Material for the bulletin was ob- tained by Dr. McHargue by analysing scores of samples of water taken from springs and streams throughout Ken tucky and other states. Five gallons of water was contained in each sam pie. The tests were for the phosphor- ous potassium, nitrate nitrogen, call cium, magnesium, sulphur sodium, chloride and manganese they con- tained.
 Besides the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, the chemist took samples from the Kentucky, the Licking, the Tenn essee. the Cumberland and the Green rivers.
