Everything indicates that if we can
avoid reckless optimism and spccula-

During the. last three years the
people of the United States have pro-
duced and consumed more per capita
than ever before.
This has been due largely to funda-
mental forces which seem bound to

education. scientific research. cxper-

STILLKEEPS
SNUFF BOX
And Although No Senator Ad.
mits He Uses Snuff. II
Does Go Somewhere
by CHARLES L. STEWART
lSnecial CORES


Washington, April ON a ledge
against the wall. at one end of the
vice presidents rOstrum in the Unit
ed States senate chamber, just along
side Il door leading out into the SEN
atOr's lobby. 4 box of snuff rcposes
Nobody can remember when that
bOX-no, not that particular box but
b0X--Of snuff wasn't to be found
there.
AS senate institution, probably
1t dates back to the time when John
Adams called the first senate TO
order. Senators quite generally took
snuff then. 1t was fashionable.
Now not senator can be found
who admits he's n snuff addict.
Yet, strange to say, the senate
snuff box empties itself regularly.
Since the very dawn Of Americas
history as nation page has been
assigned, at the beginning Of every
session, to keep the box stocked up
with Copenhagen snuff.
1t may not be as arduous job
in 1926 as it was in 1889 but about
every two weeks it still has to be
attended to.
It Disappears
Snuff doesn't evaporate
One Of two things must be true:
Either some Of the present day
senators do take an occasional pinch,
despite their dcnials.
Or else:
2-The capitOl's haunted by the
ghosts of senator's of long ago, who
continue to help themselves out of
that snuff box.
Lets hope the second hypothesis
is correct.
1t would be painful to think that
any Of the senator's we have with us
now are taking snuff on the sly and
then prevaricating about it.
On the other hand, it's okeh if u
few senatorial ghosts patfonize the

RISE OF THE POTATO

Recent high prices of potatoes bear added tes-
timony to the Importance Of the despised
tuber as an article of food. 1t is hard to realize
that, excepting in Ireland, the general use of the
potato covers period of less than $50 years. In
Ireland the potato became a staple article of diet
about a century earlier, and from this fact arises
the Irish potato although its origin appears
to have been in Peru where the natives have eaten
it from time immemorial.
From Peru the potato was first carried to
Spain by early Spanish explorers of the New
World, and thence into Italy, but it was merely
looked upon as curiosity and as such seen in
the botanical gardens of Europe for two centuries
or more before its adoption for food purposes be-
came general.
Sir Walter Raleigh is said to have been the
first to cultivate the potato in Ireland about 1592.
At first it was used for feeding hogs, but little by
little experiments were made to demonstrate that
it not harmful to human beings, that it very
gradually came into use for food particularly dur
ing periods of famine.
It was not until about 1850 that the potato
gained permanent foothold in England and on
the continent of Europe, and it was cultivated but
little in America before that time. The spread of
potato culture was greatly accelerated by the
city of food following the Napoleonic in the
early part of the nineteenth century, since which
time its use has steadily increased.
But while the potato was originally looked
upon with disfavor, and supplied food only for
the poorer classes its present high price brings it
almost into the class of luxuries, available only to
the well-to-do.

STATES RIGHTS
North Miami Courierl

The State of Florida has entered suit in the
United States Supreme Court to test the con-
stitutiOnality of the recently enacted Federal In
heritanee Law. The State contends that the law
is unconstitutional because it is an infringement
Of States Rights
This matter of the supremacy of the State
to exclusively legisate for its citizens in certain
matters has been bone of contention for more
than century 1t caused civil war that waged
for four years and took toll of several million
lives. The fact that this war was lost to the
South the contenders for States Rights, has en-
gendered feeling in the Northern and Eastern
States that the matter was settled. But war, re-
CARELESS of which side is victorious cannot settle
matters Of inherent right. Issues that directly af
feet home and family have never been enforced
By the power of might.
The right of the State of Florida to repeal
its inheritance tax laws, and make such laws in the
future prohibtOry by constitutional amendment
is unquestioued But other States, seeing wealth
gradually flow to the place where it receives the
best protection, became jealous and the present
unfair Federal Law resulted
Blacks Constitutional Law, recognized au-
thority the subject, says;
1T is not within the constitutional power of
congress to adjust the revenue system of the
United States as to interfere with or defeat the
operations Of the State governments within the
sphere Of their legitimate activities"
This view upheld by the State Courts OF
Illinois, Indiana. and Tennessee, aud by the Su-
preme Court Of the United States in the case of
the Merchants National Bank versus the United
states
