The Constitution and Congress.
Cincinnati Enquirar.l

Representative James M Beck, recognized as one of the ablest constitutional lawyers of the Republic, ndicts the growth of Federal bureaucracy in the capital and demands the reduction of Gov ernment expenditures to the limit of reasonable and legitimate necessities.
 Representative Beck attacked what he considers to be gross inequalities in the collection of Federal taxes and their expenditure. He pointed to instances where small States received more from the Federal Government in Federal subsidies" than their inhabi- tants paid out in Government taxes. He said that only two per cent of the American people pay any income tax at all and that less than 100000 per sons pay 97 per cent of all Federal taxes
 Representative Beck charged also that the power to tax "can be made the power to redisribute prop erty,"
 Taxes under the Constitution can only be levied for the common defense and the general welfare. MT. Beck holds that this was not grant of power to exact money for any purpose that Congress might regard for the general welfare, but it intended as limitation upon the power to tax the many for the benefit of the few, for any non-Federa purpose"
 This language, says Representative Beck has been misnterpreted in practice to mean that the Federal Government has almost unlimited power to tax the property of the citizen and an unlimited power to appropriate the proceeds for the benefit of any class section. It take any portion of the citizens capital and take any portion of what the citizen has when he dies through succession of taxes, which amounts to clear confiscation
 The reserved rights of the State have been de- stroyed in many instances. Money, notably in the Department of Commerce and Agriculture, cavalierly has been appropriated for non-Federal purposes.
 Moreover, Senators from smaller States, some of them of less population than many great cities in the land actually hold balance of authority, can measure with the representatives of millions of American people, telling them how they must live and how die, and especially how they must pay taxes. Some of the most recent and power full trends in the direction of bureaucracy have come from these representatives of small minorties Unless the people of the country demand, and enforce an end to indscriminate bureaucracy the States soon will have few functions left the taxpayer will be on the way to pauperisn and the original meaning of important clauses of the Constitution will be ridded

DEALERS IN FISH READY TO BUY
 FRESH HALIBUT
E. E. Engstrom, Back from Seattle, Tells of Trade
 Conditions

Buyers representing all the large companies engaged in marketing halibut, at meeting in Seattle this week, decided they would pur- chase fresh catches as landed, said E. E. Engstrcm, Juneau agent of the Sebastian-S Stewart Company, who returned here last night on the steamship Northwestern, hay ing made the round trip on the vessel. He was in Seattle six days and spent the entire time confer ring with various branches of the fishing industry.
 Some time ago. MT. Engstrom said, the report was current that companies on the Seattle Exchange would not make purchases of fresh halibut at the beginning of the season. However, representatives of the large companies, VIII make pur- chaSes there and in this city as usual.
 Dealers are peSsimistic. Nearly all of them have large stocks of frozen halibut on hand.
 The early arrivals of fresh hali- but may possibly command fairly good prices, but there is not much prospect of a strong market for fish in the immediate future. Low prices of poultry, eggs, meat and all other kinds of food commodities have depressing effect on fish. "

PLACING THERMOMETERS.

The current visitation of low temperatures locally has shown the usual variation of thermometer read ings. Hardly any two record the degree of temperature at any given time differences ranging from to several degrees
 Much of this may be accounted for by defects in the instrument themselves. But not all of it. The manner in which the thermometer is installed may have as much to do with the differences as any other factor. To avoid such arguments as about how cold it is, the United States Weather Bureau advises that the thermometer should be hung the north side of the house in sheltered place. such as porch, and be sure it is inch two away from the wall. It has found that it gets the most accurate records of temperatures by exposing Wealth. CT Bureau thermometers-of which there are about 5000 distributed throughout the country-in a cov- cred or screened enclosure of wood slats which keep off the rain sun, and radiation and also allow free air circulation.

Cold Comfort for Cold Sufferers.
(New York Tines.)


 If the common cold could be subtraeted from the list of human ailments, the Winter of dis content would be far more bearabe. Scientists and doctors agree that in spite of all the research work which has been done, sure and quick and uni versal cure has yet been discovered. The sneezsr and snffer may take what comfort he from the thought that he is suffering from mysterious malady.
 There may be conclusion, too, in the de- scription which Dr. Clendening gives in The Even ing Post of the familiar progress of colds. There are three marked divisions. The first is "the stage of invasion with slight fever, malase, chilly tions headache and backache and loss of appetite , After twelve to thirty hours of this there is the stage of exudation.' Lastly, "the stage of valescence marks the drying up of the secretons |" Happy the victim who does not find Stage I be- ginning again before Stage III is completedl
 Common is the patients surest aid in living through cold Since treatments to make the patient comfortable various, and sometimes contradictory almost any solace be justified by medical advice If hot, strong toddies con- fort, let him partake freely. If downy bed, an electric pad and good book bring consolation, that is good medicine. If a trip to Bermuda or California gives greater relief, then that's the thing. Write your own prescription.

Golden Text: What are these which
are arrayed in white robes? and
whence came they? These are
they which came out of great tribu-
lation, and have washed their robes,
and made them white in the blood of
the Lamb. (Rev. z: 1910.
Among the citations which COM
prised the lesson-sermon was the
following from the Bible And when
the hour was come, he sat down, and
the twelve apostles with him.
And he said unto them, With de-

The lesson-sermon also included
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
tures," by Mary Baker Eddy: The
true sense is spiritually lost, if the
is confined to the use of
bread and wine. The disciples had
eaten, yet Jesus prayed and gave
them bread. This would have been
foolish in a literal sense; but in jts
spiritual signification, it was natural
and beautiful. Jesus prayed; He
withdrew from the material senses
to refresh His heart with brighter,
with spiritual views" (p. SO: 20 to
