length of time but also that any
member who has the floor can dis
cuss any subject he chooses. In the
opinion of Judge johnson it is high
ly desirable that in country where
government by the majority is so
firmly rooted that the law making
bodies themselves should be like
wise governed.
The speaker said that supporters
of the present rules of procedure
point to the fact that a senator rep
resents a sovereign state and should
be allowed the right to speak I'M

long as in his own judgement he
especially those from the southern
states feel that the rules provide
only reasonable check upon the
majority. Still others point out that
no Indispensable legislation was ever
prevented by the existing rules, but
in this the speaker differed.
Judge johnson. while expressing
himself heartily in favor of the en-
deavors being made by Vice Presi-
dent Dawes to secure a revision of
the rules SO that they may be more
businesslike, and while he appre-
ciates the power and ability of the
! vice president, he was frank in stat
ing that this task was the largest he
could hope to cope with and that
only by arousing public opinion
could any move for the better be at
tanned.

Friendly Chat
of Famous Ghosts

Burr: There's no denying 1t, Alex,
I made a mistake when l shot you.
Hamilton: Don't apologize, Aaron:
it was all so long ago. And then, so
far as I am concerned, l am not at all
sure that it was a mistake.
Burr: Really?
Hamilton: OF course felt sore at
the time. But what has happened
have gone down a martyr and an
idol in the eyes of ever-increasing
millions Of my fellow-countrymen,
and my reputation has waxed might
lily at the expense of yours. If l had
lived, 1 might have gone the way
poor jefferson did.
Burr: He was poor Jefferson,
wasn't he? If had only shot him!
Hamilton: Why shoot anybody?
Certainly not those who do not de-
serve it, And those who do. gener-
ally provide for themselves, like JET
ferson. But it might have been a
mistake for you, Aaron: I am in
clined to think it was. Though, to be
sure, il l had lived and had been
president in Jefferson's place, /
should surely have hanged you for
treason. 1 wouldn't have let you es-
cape as he did.
Burr: / believe you. No doubt 1t
was a premonition of something of
the sort that prompted me. All the
same, it was a mistake. From the
day I shot you, there was nothing
left of me. And. oh, Alex! what a
team we should have made together!
Hamilton: Couldn't have been done,
Aaron, I had moral scruples.
Burr: Did they pay?
Hamilton: On the whole, think so.
Look where they have landed me-
and where the lack Of them has land
ed you. Yes, Aaron, on the whole, I
think they paid.-Gamaliel Bradford

Judge U. S. Circuit
Court of Appeals
Talks to KiWanians

Hon. Charles F. Johnson, judge OF
the United States Circuit court of
appeals, was the speaker at the reg
uIar meeting of the Waterville XII
wants club at the Elmwood Hotel
last evening.
Judge johnson, who was introduce
ed to the members by Mayor Paul r.
Baird, took for his subject, THE
Rules of the United States Senate"
outlining their history and the in
stances that led to their enactment.
The Judge told of many things that
had arose during the six years that
he> was in the Senate, making his
talk of much interest.
The speaker made plain the de-
STABILITY of changing many of the
rules of procedure which obtain to-
day. BY the methods of procedure
now in vogue, which have not been
materially changed since the days
of Clay, Calhoun and Webster, 1t Is
possible for as few as four or five
senator's to obstruct the taking OF a
vote on a matter of which an over
whelming majority of the members
are in favor. Because of this it Is
often necessary to compromise with
the few by granting them conces-
sions in the way of other legislation
in order to secure the passage of the
really meritorious bill.
Judge Johnson drew an interest
ing contrast between the conduct of
the House of Representatives under
modern and businesslike rules of
procedure and the uncertain rules
under which the senate works.
The unlimited privilege of debate
which Is found in the Senate, said
the speaker, means not only the
privilege of speaking an unlimited

ROtarians Discuss
u. S. Constitution
At Regular Meeting

The Constitution of the United
States was the subject considered by
three members of the Waterville Ro-
tary Club at it's regular meeting at
the Elmwood hotel yesterday noon
At each place the members found
booklets which contained the con-
stitution and with these they follow
ed the three speakers.
Carroll N. Perkins had charge of
the program and he explained the
origin of the famous document
speaking especially of the need that
existed for some centralized govern
, ment at the close of the Revolution
Benjamin Franklin, according to the
speaker, was largely responsible for
the formation of the constitution
and our debt to him can hardly be
magnified. The speaker discussed
the various factions which made
the work of the Congress slow and
difficult. The fathers of the coun-
try have no precedent upon which to
work and in many respects the con-
stitution is unique. Mr.. Perkins al
so spoke Of the first amendments
that were made to the constitution.
The second speaker of the meeting
was James L. Boyle who considered
the SO-CdlleQ war dHleHuIfleHtS,
which were an out growth of the
Civil War. The speaker devoted
some Of the time allotted to him to
an explanation of the compromises
which were made between the North
and the South soc Is years before
the outbreak of the war and which
are now considered to be causes OF
the conflict. The first amendment
treated on by Mr.. Boyle, the 18th
abolished slavery; the second, the
14th, decreed that a man Is a citi-
zen of the United States as well as
of the state wherein he resides; and
the last, the 18th, gave all an equal
right to vote. Mr.. Boyle told in an
interesting way just what conditions
made necessary the enactment OF
these amendments.
Cyril M. Jolly, the last speaker, told
Of the last four amendments to the
constitution. n discussing the 10th
amendment which empowered con-
gress to levy an income tax, he also
sketched the early history that led
to the amendment. People are mis-
taken in their belief that it Is the
Volstead Act which has taken liquor
from them, said Mr.. Jolly, and he
explained that the 18th amendment
did away with the liquor while the
Volstead act made it possible to en-
force the amendment. The 18th
amendment, which gave suffrage to
women, gained it's start in Wyoming
and Mr.. Jolly told its later history.

To most people a beaver Is simply
a beaver-an industrious animal
with precious pelt. Few women,
when they order a beaver coat-and
few men, when they pay for it
realize the tremendous part the
beaver has played in North Amer
lean history.
Yet it was the beaver that brought
on King Williams War, Queen
Anne's War, King Georges War, and
finally the old French and Indian
War, that lost for France her North
American possessions.
All this is told by Hugh Pendexter,
writer of historical novels, in con-
nection with 1.-THE Bush Lopers."
This newest story, beginning in the
current issue of Adventure, deals
with the long struggle between the
French and the English. Mr.. Pen
dexter, who is regarded as one of
the leading authorities on early
American history, has made a spe =
cial study of the period with which
"Phe Bush Lopers" is concerned.
Writing in Adventure he says:
Few school children, nor many

wars. They learn that the Abnaki
tribes raided New England settle
ments and they labor under the i'm
preston that the aborigines were
actuated by an overwhelming desire
to kill and burn. While writing The
Bush Lopers' for fiction readers /
have endeavored to show the BEGIN
ming of the long struggle between
the two Crowns, carried on in our
forests and along our shifting from
tiers, each side seeking red allies,
each side at times paying bounties
for scalps, and each side often dou-
decreasing their red allies when
their aid was useless or had brought
success.

teenth century. Other furs were
