ROAST PIG AND REVOLUTION.

The legend Of the origin OF pig related by Charles
Lamb is familiar but always interesting and il lends ise
easily to illustrative purposes 1t many years ago in China
recall the tale that house which happened be inhabited
bv some fine fat poker was destroyed by fire The
the swine found them the ashes and ember roasted to juicy
and sticking his finger into OF them, he very promptly
pulled il out and put into his ease the pain 1t
his first of pig only the having been
before that time and savory that he Immediately took
another sample Then and there roast pig became popular but
it occurred to the oriental mind that there any better
way cook pork than by burning down a house Thereafter
epidemic of ncendarsm in the country; houses and
barns being burned hand property being destroyed TO
other purpose than to provide roast pork.
The of this country state and federal have made
mistakes and the thing true OF legislatures
ernors and presidents private citizens are not mabe IN their
judgments and even majortes have been known TO
evidenced by the fact that later their decision has been
turned by another majority The proposal of Senator LaFoe
and Mr. Gompers that congress should be
which our system OF government built AS simple and harm

its Our government founded system of balances
among the three departments legislative executive and judicial
There much difference Of opinion the constitutional
venon concerning the that should be given the judiciary
and the discussion continued for years Thomas Jefferson
and others taking the that too much lodged the
courts but subsequent developments in the constitutional history
of the nation have demonstrated that the plan OF division of
tons with the system of checks and balances that
could have been devised
1t should be mind that our federal government is
strictly OF delegated powers congress has authority do
anything except what granted it by constitution If
are to have constitutional government at ALL in the nature Of
things there must be to which look for the
last word of authority determining how far congress go
under the powers granted it. and wisely provided the
power to give this final word should be placed judiciary
Without this check congress- the national law-making body
would be apowerfu instead of possessing only the powers
gated to it by the people when the constitution adopted
could arrogae itself rights that to the states
and to the people themselves and thus place of
with three departments each operating check the other
would have government of department. bcase congress-
with no restraint it could dominate all the departments

workngman would not suffer with all the other our
people, if the safeguards rights and liberties embodied
our federal constitution asde Even though
granted that of the immediate ends sought by labor might
be gained by changing of government
to believe that the system would better protect the
Liberties and promote the general welfare of all the people than
the that has proved effective for century and haf
Russia has soviet congress which all powerful such as Our
aw-makng body would be if all constitutional limitation on its
powers were removed and has tamped the liberties of
the workngman merciess has disregarded the

creating that of congress in this country though might
win certain things which temporarily look attractive?
II congress is to be power the supreme
