1t seems strange that New Eng
lander of President Calvin Coolidge's
type should come to Williamsburg,
Va, and deliver a dissertation upon
States rights. The trouble about it
is that this deliverance has come too
late This concentration of power
has been written into the COnstitu
ton again and again. The income
tax question was the beginning of
the trouble. Then came the pro-
hibition constitutional amendment.
These measures have written into
them all of the evils set forth and
portrayed by southern leaders in
protesting against the so-called force
bill, which was never enacted into
law.
Under the concentration of power
now engrafted into the constitution
itself and reinforced by other legis-
lation for its. drastic enforcement, a
mans home is no longer his castle
and his person is no longer inviol-
able against search and seizure with
out due process of law. Some States
are now violating the Fundamental
rights of freeman in prohibiting
citizens to keep and bear firearms in
their own homes. That the situa.
ton is becoming intolerable is eyi
dent to any person, who will take
the time to think.
That the evil should have affected
citizens as far North as Massa
chusetts bodies some good. We d.
not believe that this continued
notification of constitutional pro
visions can result other than il
revolution. IL may not come upoi
US within ten or twenty years, blu
according to the Book Of Fate, tn
Cycles Of Time, 1T will come. Cod
ways are past finding out, but funda
mental principles will survive an
man will pay in blood for his folly

The funeral of Stephen Clarke,
908 North Fourth Street, who died
May 9th, took place from w. 1.
Johnson Sons parlors. The coroner
had viewed the remains, and no
autopsy being held, he stated that
he was unable to determine the ex-
act cause of his death. The De-
tective Bureau sent Mrs. Maria
Johnson, who was in the house at
the time, to the station house for
observation, there being some doubt
as to her sanity. The long cash in
Clarke's head was plainly observable
after he had been prepared for
burial.
He was much emaciated by sick
ness and old age.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
EVOLUTION AND HAIR
Already old ladies deplore
That, their tresses so scant are. and

Already old ladies deplore
That their tresses so scant are, and
few,
That if they are bobbed any more
The tops of their head will show
through.
Already old birds of the masculine sex
Whose names there is no need to
mention
Watch their foreheads recede to the
napes of their necks
with feelings of cold apprehension.
For Nature has made up her mind
That the camel, the COW and the bear,
In fact, that all quadruped kind
Still need to be covered with hair.
But man, who has brains, and can
make himself hats,
Though he still with much pride may
regard it,
Requires it no more than a walrus does
spats,
And eftsoons must be forced to dis
card it.
There is something far stronger than
style
Back of bobbing and singing and
SUCH
Cosmic force is at work all the while
And we wriggle in vain in it's clutch
Both flappers and dowagers troop to
be cropped,
Completely befooled and deluded,
For when Natures mask has been ruth
lessly dropped,
Their heads will be wholly denuded
We are selfish enough to be glad
That all heads must be bald by
and by,
For the few lonely locks that we had
No longer we mournfully sigh.
In future our fellows will let us alone
And no one, in accents sardonic,
Who has not the ghost of a hair OF
his own
Can ask us the brand of our tonic!
