NEWTEAGHERFORJOHES Popular Business College Finds it Necessary to Increase Faculty.

The rapid growth of the Jones' business college has necessitated the acquiring of a new member to the corps of instructors in the person of Miss Emma Stangland, an experienced business college teacher and a graduate of the normal school of the state of Minnesota. The addition was found necessary In order that each student in the increased fall enrollment, might receive tho personal supervision of a member of the faculty, in accordance v.ith the school's pulley. Miss Stangiand has already assumed her duties as assistant In the short-hand department, where the value of her service has been much appreciated. Her unusual ability In this line of work is the result of years of study and of practical experience as a teacher. With this addition to the faculty of the school. Manager John Gavin has fortified himself against the largu number of pupils which are expected to enter the school the ilrst of next month. The Jones business college now stands among the leaders of the northern part of the state. Its popularity is largely due to splendid facilities, thorough course of Instruction and the universal .satisfaction which its graduates give to their employers. There can be no better evidence than this of the success of a school. The large, airy rooms provide a pleasing and inspiring place for the pursuit of etudy and accommodate a great number of students without the slighest crowding. One of the most notable features of the school is Its central location, making it easy of access from all parts of this city and in fact the entire surrounding country. Special rates havo been secured for the Jones business colleges students from any town in tho vicinity on any of the lines entering Hammond, whether they be steam or electric. These cut rates have made the Jones business college a big drawing card for the patronage of students In surrounding cities. BROTHER OF P. MAE BEATEN.

ITS S Hoh man Street, ATTACKS ROOSEVELT Ex-Judge Parker Discusses Constitutional Changes "by Interpretation." IT MEANS A ONE-MAN POWER So the Ex-Judge Declares, and That One Man Unrestricted. Substitution of Another Form of Government for That of the Fathers Interstate Commerce Clause "Ex- - panded." Norfolk, Va., Sept. IS. "Constitution Day" was observed at the Jamestown exposition with an address by ex-Judge Alton B. Parker, who made an appeal against extension of the powers of the nation's executive and repeated his campaign charge concerningtbe solicitation of funds from corporations. Jnd.e Parker said In part: Form of Government To Be Chansd. "It Is not too much to say that it is proposed today here in our land merely with a view to attaining greater efficiency substantially to change tlifi form of government cf the United States by the creation of judicial commissions to deal with special subjects; by the conferring upon such commissions of legislative' functions through delegation of power from congress, and by then committing to the executive the unrestricted power of appointment and removal of tb-y-ir members. Creates a One-Man Power. s "This is actual substitution of another theory of government. This is annulment of the underlying doctrinea upon which our existing government rests. These powers are to be exer cised then by the executive to the exclusion of the legislative and judicial by an expansion beyond its terms; by an expansion beyond its spirit; by an expansion beyond its purpose, of the language of the constitution. Some one has said: 'Oh liberty! What crimes have been committed in tbv name We might say today: 'Oh commerce! What theories are sought to be advanced under thy cloak. EXPANSION" IS THE THING Judge Says It la Applied to the Interstate Commerce Clause. "The example which stands at the threshold, is the interstate commerce clause of the constitution, which covers In large measure the prospective field for federal expansion. That clause in the constitution was conceived In a spirit of fairness and equality among the states; that clause was embodied in the constitution for the purpose of protecting one state against another, and to prevent the exercise of ar bitrary discrimination by any stato against the citizens of any other. "But how is it proposed to expand It In application today, if we are to trust the open declarations which have been publicly advanced? Since the products of any industry may become the subject of Interstate commerce; pince a portion of the products of almost every industry actually enter Into interstate commerce, It is argued that the national government under the lnterstates commerceclause can regulate within the states all production. "It Is but the first step in such reasoning as this that is at all difficult to take. Once taken, the rest follows logically therefrom. And all this is to be accomplished by conferring upon the executive through boards and commissions of its appointment powers undreamed of in such connection under a free system of government" After quoting from President Roosevelt's speeches on railway supervision Judge Parker said: "To evidence that I do not overstate the nature of the claim for increased federal power, I quote again from the president. He said at Ilarrisburg: 'We need through executive action, through legislative and through judicial interpretation and construction of law to increase the power of the federal government. If we fail thus to increase it, we show our impotence.' "These are weizhty words pregnant I with meaning. Let me read them again j that they may sink deeply in your i minds. These are the words not of an I Idle dreamer, but of a purposeful and resourceful man." There la not a real eatate ad In tbe paper today that la not -worth rending? and considering, hardly one that la not worth anavrerlng and Investigating.

Hammond H0CH AND THE RAILWAYS ILanea Governor Una Mmd Made Cp, but Does Not Say What lie Will Io. Topeka, Ivan.. Sept. IS. Governor ITooh Las given to the press a letter written to a member of the Kansas fienate, explaining bis attitude on the 2-cent fare question. He said in his letter: "1 have not said to any one what my action will be whether I will secure this result through a special session of the legislature or oth-crwi-e. If to secure this result It should necessitate a special session of the legislature, in the language of Patrick Henry, 'Let in come.' The board of railroad commissioners' has made the order and fixed Oct. 5 as the date when it will become effective. "As yet I have had no official notification as to what the railroads propose to do in this matter, and I cannot be controlled in my action by newspaper reports. But my mind is made up, and as soon as I have authoritative information as to what the railroads propose to do I will then be ready to act." Later in his letter he says: "If tho railroads had any 'horse sense' they would have stopped this discrimination voluntarily." STATEMENT IS TOO ABSURD So It la Said at Sagamore Hill of a Story Told by a Methodist Bishop. Oyster T.ay, X. Y., Sept.

Miss Paeschke said today: "It la true. It is hard for me to realize it myself. If it had been $4,000, I wouldn't have thought so much about it; but $400,000: "What am I eoing to do with the money? Well, it has all come so suddenly that I can scarcely make myself believe it to be true; but it must be. The first thins that I shall do will be to see the world.
