It is always interesting to examine the court's point of view or thepry if the case; and it is an impressive tuought that what convinced Judge Kemster of the invalidity of this alged vonsiitutiun was not at all the provisions it includes, but "the simple, rudimentary fact that it is the output ot usurpation. As a new constitution it does not follow the legitimate way of framing organic law; as a series of amendments, it violates the constitution "s rule of procedure for jts own amendment.

to help. When it was proposal to raise a factory fund of .flO.frtlO or more in r-der to iiet busy and secure wir.e reallv good industries for the town, the people were ready and willinir for that also. Within les than a year th1 Commercial Club has demonstrated its right to exist, has shown the people of Plymouth to themselves- in their true - standard and has made fhe "whole county look up to Plymouth as it has never done before. These are but beginnings. The more to follow will make us look 'back at these things with smiles.

OUR IGNORANCE. The horror at Austin, PennsylTania, lias served to tell us again that the most o the deaths, sickness and injuries which come upon the human race are caused by our ignorance of, cr willful disobedience of, the laws of nature. " The Johnstown flood of some years ago was enough to notify all the people of Pennsylvania at least to mae very dam in the state so it ecuM not he borne down by the -waters. But they did not do it and , her is another Johnstown horror. Ignorance of the-strength of, the dam made, or willful disregard of the fact that the dam was too weak for the work it was required to do. One or the other of these caused the disaster of Saturday. So it iroes all the. wav round the oure of life the scaffold was too weak. tl;e rails were too old, the watchman was asleep, they didn't know- the n:i was loaded, he' kept over eating and now has dyspepsia, lie worked too hard and exposed himself and must go ttie remainder of his years a physical wreck and fw on vithcut end. We believe that fullv nir.etv per cent of the death, tiekness and injuries could be eliminated bv more intelligence and more care on the part of the human race. "We are doing better every year, but are very far from doing what we can to saveJife and health and human limbs. For fear enough people might not be killed or maimed each year, governments all over the world are spending most of their money raised by taxation for war and in preparations for war.

and a public-

fraud. There was no more domand fir tiris constitution

than there was tir the reciprocity treaty with Canada. It was iinonted as a political device, to detract attention i'roia the liquor issue, to head oil prohibition and women auftrage and to disfranchise the foreign voter. The plea tliat we are surfering for new constitutional qualification for the practice of law is well silenced by Senator Kern when he shows that the Indiana bar is second to none in the West if to any in the Union. Whenever The Star has alleged that antipathy to the foreign voter

was the chief animating cause be-v

hind this spuiious constitution. Mr Marshall and his defenders held up their hands in holy horror at what they called a vicious falsehood. . But now Governor Marshall himself is quoted as saying that his sole or riiiet l egret is the failure of his struggles for " purity of the ballot." Now we all know from the Marshall constitution itself what is meant by the "purity of the ballot' It is the foreign population of Lake county, always. the object of Mr Marshall's wrath because it has been shamelefcsly and traitorously corrupted at times by native-born scoundrels, and the immemorial Democratic grudge against the negro, expressed in the poll tax clause of this bogus constitution, which is a favorite method of Southern states in disfranchising the negro vote. All these are political aspects of the new "constitution" with which Judge Remster does not deal and with which the court was 'properly not concerned. His decision itself is destitute of anv political content or significance. Without reference to them at all, the pretended constitution falls to the ground. Yet

they are the overshadowing facts of

the case, essential not only to understanding of its origin and purport, but also to any Just appreciation of what the decision means to the cause . of constitutional government, and popular rights. Indianapolis Star. .

As he dodger through the rails. Seems to beckon me to follow as I did When I was a growing boy. Filled with love of 'home and joy. 'Cause I felt that I'd soon get him 'neath the lid. Ye; the cotton-tail says "Come, For our race it not 4 yet nin." Then the forest trees so gr.nd. Ever stately as they stand. Are nodding to me as they did in youth; And the shy old whipporwill, Ht is calling to me still , As he did in days when I knew only truth. E'en the bluegratt team my way.

And I know they'll 'may . ' , "Amen."
