Dominican Burial Record is World $
Largest Book. i ..-.

The largest book in the world is
preserved in the Dominican Church
in Vienna, where it has been for five
centuries. Hidden from view behind
the high altar of the church, hangs
what at first glance seems to be mere
,ly an antique cabinet of carved wood,
but is in reality a book, each page
of which is four feet in height by
three in width. The leaves are made
of the thinnest of wooden tablets,
covered on both sides with parch-
ment held together by curious old
hinges such as are used on swinging
doors. But even stranger than the
binding and the makeup of this book
are it's contents, which is a list Of all
the brothers of the Dominican order
who have died and been buried since
the year 1922. The entries are made
in Latin, and give not only the dates
of birth and death, but copious
biographical material, thereby invest
ing the book with genuine historic
value. The names of five hundred
Dominican monks are enrolled in this
book and in the crypt of the the
church, as many leaden caskets con-
tain the dust of the firiars who have
died and been buried here. There
are still many empty pages in this
Book of Death waiting to be in
scribed with the names of the hun
dred or more preaching friars who
still are inmates of the historic old
monastery connected with the church.

LAWS UNFAIR TO PEOPLE.
Much of Nations Political Troubles
Due to Constitutional Amendment

In the course of an address before
the convention of the American sup
ply and Machinery Manufacturers
Association at Birmingham, Ala, a
few days ago, Peter 0. Knight of
Tangipahoa, Fla, general counsel of
the Southern Hardware Jobbers' AS
sociation, declared that "nine-tenths
of our political troubles are due to
1fflaes ssnaetme ent Of the sixteenth amend
Fnent to the federal constitution.
"This amendment" he declared, ''is
directly contrary to the principles laid
down by the constitution. The people
as a whole are not always qualified
to choose the law-making representa-"
tives."
Commenting upon the seventeenth
amendment, Mr.. Knight said that
"there is coming more and more into
evidence tendency to destroy pri-
vate property rights absolutely and
without interference of the Suprem"
; Court"
"Who would have thought" con-
tinued the speaker, "some years ago
after our fights with sword and pen
that there would be added constitu-
4;onal regulation ofIour sumptuary
laws to the end that we should have
national prohibition? l say it is
wrong for the state Of New York to
impose on the people of Alabama q
law which is a matter of purely local
regulation and I also say that the
people of Illinois have no right To-
impose on the people of Georgia a
| woman's suffrage amendment. All
of these four amendments are in
spired by views contrary to the spirit
| which actuated the trainers of our
| constitution in founding this repub-
| lic."
| But aside from the governmental
drawbacks" Mr.. Knight foresaw 2
roseate picture of American business.
| "We can feed and supply tht
world" he said, ''and then have
plenty left for ourselves.
