Its constitution is Ifiiot a fixed and rigid instrument, but an: plastic contrivance which -must be. fstretched to- cover new,.'-problems of ^government -as they/ailseV If the Estates will not exercisii the powers they ^possess in such a wayf as to. serve the "n ,|:ests of the state itself it is inevi Stable that the powers,, of the national I government will be increased. S--M Such were the--Underlying* thoughts. I Secretary Boot's speech at New IfYork last night.. l*hey are soft'ot new, ^Jior the troublesome question* bf state frights recurs whenever the public he- 's 1'comes aroused to the necessity of solv ling new problems:in ^interests of, the whole people,i __ ^distinction from the selfish lintel ^elf, bnt tbu *s opposed by the such a way as to t!give the solution national effect. Secretary Boot, however, rightly I ^places the blame for the tendency to ^increase the powers of the national '^government on the states themselves. If the various legislatures had treat I ited the insurance question in such a way as to "safeguard the interests of 0 '/the policyholder, no matter, where ke. i| i^lived*, there would be no demand for a ft ^national insurance law.. If If New Jersey and some other states had not offered refuge to over-capital ]lzedi corporations,. ''holding, compa nies" and other trust devices,* it would jj._. be less necessary for congress to under- lK ..take, .trust legislation. So with the *f evils of child labor, indiscriminate di vorce and other abuses that have been permitted to grow up under state pro tection or state negligence. With characteristic penetration Sec retary Boot goes to the very core of the m.atter when he saxs".. "If any state is maintaining laws which -afford opportunity and authority for practices, condemned by the public sense of he4 whole country, that state is violating the conditions upon- which alone' can its powers be preserved." action in mat- national. import, springs the strong} tendency of the day toward governmental centralization. I is a tendency which rests upon national sentiment and which will bend and stretch the constitution as may be nec essary. If a constitutional convention can be brought about, as urged by Con gressman De Armond in the house re cently, so much the better, for the needed powers can then be defined and fixed. But if the effort in that di rection fails because of the complica ted "method prescribed -for calling such a convention, the powers will gradual ly be assumed by the national govern ment as necessity may arise. The courts will, aid in this process, just as they fflways have and as they always must. The striking thing about Secretary Boot's^ speech is" the profundity, of his logic and the 'lucidity with which he expresses- it. jlifore and more does the preinier loom large as one of our great est n*?n. The New York Sun's opposition to the confirmation of Moody, went behind a cloud. & Trade in the Orient. Consul J. E. Jones of Dalny reports great commercial activity in all parts of^ Manchuria. Dalny is the commer cial port. I has superb harbor facili ties and" a railroad leading to the north esn-provinces and'is developing rapid ly into a commercial city of import- ance.' Consul Joites says that the United States jis supplying practically all the flour used in Manchuria. This is Pa cific coast product, and it is being pushed far into the interior. The Marichus aire great users of flour and the product of the United States is best adapted for their uses..:, Up to this time there are few Amer icans, ^.^aliLY/swd business, interests or the-United States are poorly repre sented.

The two houses are thus brought face to face in a controversy more bitter and critical than any issue between them since,the defeat of homef rule. On the one side the liberal party stakes its controj. of government on the other, the peers rislt the very existence _, of the house of lords and* its veto power. 1 But the commons has the better posi- tion in the battle, because it has the choice of several lines of procedure in enforcing its mandate for secularization of the schools. I may, by its control of all appropriations, throttle the pres ent school system, so far as it is con trolled by the Church of England, and thus force the lords to yield. This would be a drastic measure and might cause such widespread dissatisfaction as to react upon the dominant party. It may seek to change the complex ion of the house of lords by the crea tion of new peerages. This has been resorted to before and may be again. It would require a'-large number of liberal peers to overcome the entrenched tory majority, but the mere threat might suffice to drive the peers to Capitulate. The third and usual course, in such crises is an appeal to the country. This appeal might be on the issues of the liberal leaders, who.declare with reason that the country has recently given a decisive mandate on jtbi&^very, question .and that.the lords, have no right to oppose' the effectuation of that man date. The appeal to the country would njtoriff likely take the fdrih of at niove-: to abolish the" house of lofds for its contumacy. The liberals, however, have barely warmed the seats of authority and are by no means ready to risk pos sible defeat in -a new election. The notorious fickleness of the electorate, which turned Gladstone out after com manding him to give Ireland home rule, makes the liberals hesitate. They are far .more likely, to seek other means .of disciplining the peers than to call for new elections. Out'of it all -may come some impor tant constitutional changes in the direci tion of "mending, or ,ending per house. The Minneapolis Tribune hias-qascov ered'a use for the,'-Beeif:^^i investi gation which has n0t :i been xevealed,to^ it is for the, purpose of keeping Smoot "cooling his%eels in-the cloak room." He must stay, there tie&Tribune thinks until the flenat'e^r b^fc vote,, .establishes. -fe$pgh^'^'V #*$*% $$%%^ '^ifjis^to: be .ignorant. Smo^,.l^\ & full-fledged member of the senate." He is assigned to committees. He votes whenever he chooses. He introduces bills and resolutions. He makes re ports from committees. He is as much a senator as Foraker/. Nelson,"- Hopkins, or any other": man whpse seat'.had never .been!fContested. He is a much, better senator than Piatt, but not quite so great a senator as Aldrich. He is not in the heel-cooling, business at all. The reason of this is easy to see. Smoot came to the senate with clear credentials from a sovereign state. Some objection was made to him' subse-i quently. Those objectors have been heard' by a committee, and that commit tee is now disgorging itself of a re pott. Smoot does not have to bother about the committee of the re port except to see that it is not adopt ed. He is a'sure enough senator until the senate dispossesses him by a formal Vote of expulsion or exclusion, which, it ought to do. There seems to be some misunder standing abotit The Journal's edi torial on "Minority Representation,'': and the iStatements made in it. There are, thirty-two senators, or a majority of the state senate, from .counties with, a popu lation of .741,134, or only 37 per cent- of the state's total. In the. former article It .was'stated that these came from the first, second and third congressional dis tricts, and part of the seventh. It should have also included Meeker county In the sixth district. The counties included from the seventh district are Redwood, Renville, Kandiyohi, Lincoln, Lyon, Tel low Medicine, Lac qui' Parle,' Chippewa, Swift and' Big Stone. There are'forty one counties electing- these thirty-tw-o senators, and they constitute less than four out of the nine congressional ,dis tricts. The inequality- is especially marked in the first and third districts the second and the seventh have very near a fair representation.

There are two kinds of candidates for the place, police-' men and placemen.

Owners of 1,150,000' out of the 1,800,- 00 freight cars in the American Bail way association have agreed to the ad vance in per diem: charges for the use of foreign cars from 25 to 50 cents a day flat. The $1 charge after thirty days is-abolished. Opinions differ, as to whether this will reduce the annual fall car short age. Boads endeavor to offset freight car rentals so they may not have to pay charges. The abolition of the $1 charge will have a certain effect, also, in reducing the effectiveness of the change.. -Formerly cars were, charged, by mile age, so that time was not a part of the sitution.

CONFESSION MADE TO 3POLIOE Prisoner's Becj|g.^^e Inci^ Record,---^8dds and Ends of Henry Sussman's complete confession of all the important events of -his mar ried life and the incidents leading up to the murder of his wife, Fannie Suss man? at ,the Glenwood hotel Sept. 26. was. read in the Sussman murder trial as the closing of the state's case by Thomas E. Newlove, court stenog rapher. .While this confession did not bring out much new matter it was told with reater detail than the version given the police officers. Sussman was anxious to have Fannie accompany him to La Crosse and her refusal to do so displeased him some what. Asked why his wife refused, he said: "She told me that she was going into a,' house in St. Paul and wouldn't go with mer She wouldn't help, me and would, never give me a divorce. I told her that I -wanted her to leave those fellows., in St. Paul and live with me, butt She WmilrlTl 't- li'nton +r m"' bu she Wouldn't-listen to meo "You quarreled a great deal?" "We ll I wanted her to help me." "As a waitress?" "Yes, and to help me in La Crosse." After registering Sussman went out, took a drink, bought some fruit and some thicken sandwiches. Sussman re turned to his wife. "Now go on arid tell what hap pened." I wanted her to see Clara Singer and get evidence for me, but she would not help at all. I told' her to leave the crowd down in St. Paul, but could not get her to promise. She said she would not come to La Crosse for any thing and she said that she intended to go into a house of ill fame. Said she didn't care what became of me." When He Shot Her. "When you shot her she was sitting on.the edgfe of the bed?" I don't remember if she was sit- ting." "Well, you were standing over her and shot down into her head from above." -'-:'*Tes.'" ^"i- The prisoner confessed to ihe pur chase of the revolver in La Qrosse on Monday the ,day before his arrival in Aft.er, lie murder he visited his brothers Adolph and J. I. Sussman sev eral times, and at 2 o'clock $vent to La Crosse: On Thursday he returned tbi Minne apolis, bought a razor, some beer and whiskyj. went to the Nashville hotel, and registered. He thought that he gave the name of Joseph Weller. He declared that he had not bought the razor in order to cut his throat. After tunning off the lighted-gas jets he turned all five open again and went to lie down in the bed. Previously he had torn out a p?,rt of the s#5eatband of his derby hat containing Ws name. Attorney McGhee for the defense had asked that Adolf Masinger, the father of the murdered girl, be recaUfd. Mr. Masinger was shown a numbejr of let ters ibe^ween Henry SussmanV and his wife while the former was in La Crosse. The witness had read the letters, he ,saidi They, were ...not submitted, how ever, and Mr. Masinger was not al lowed to testify regarding them. Arrest and Hescue. Then 'began' the cross examination of Inspector, Jame Lyons with reference to the rescue and arrest of Henry Suss anan at the .Nashville hotel 'and Suss man's, subsequent confession^ in the central lockup in the presence of the police officers and Assistant County Attorney Bernhagen. ThetstOTy of the movements of Mr. and Mrs. Sussman from Tuesday after noon, until Wednesday morning have, been told and retold so often" and with such little-variation in-the details that the testimony of .Lyons brousrht out by almost interminable cross-examina tion proved tiresome. Mr. Lyons stated that a court sten ographer appeared in the room iust as the first confession was made. Captain Mealey and Attorney Bernhagen- re- mained in the room. Captain Michael Mealey repeated some of the details of the confession relating to the shooting, Sussman said that he shot down into the woman's head from above. Mrs. Maud Scholl, formerly Maud Thompson, a chambermaid at the Glen wood hotel, told of finding the body. APPEAL BY McGHEE Counsel for Henry Sussman Outlines His Defense. Fred L. McGhee's opening for the defense in the Sussman murder case, late yesterday, was dramatie and fer vid. I sounded much more like a clos ing appeal than a presentation of the defendant's case. The attorney's ap parent object is not so much to ac quit his client as to save his neck, and his first step, as shown in the open ing, is to work upon the sympathy of the jurors. There were many dramatic points in the address, which occupied about an. hour's.time. On several occasions he brought the entire Sussman family and their friends to tears, and pro duced such an epidemic of weeping as has not been seen for years. He said that he proposed to show that .Fannie Sussman knew that her husband intended to leave the city and enlist. The enlistment under an as sumed, name was for good and suffi cient reasons, which will be disclosed at the proper time.

THE STATES INTOEIR RE-* LATION TO THE UNION Secretary Root Advocates Logically and Forcefully the Necessity of a Strong Centralized Federal Govern- ment. -.^i^'. :V-V_- niir/r i 'New York, Dec. 12.Responding to the toast, "The United States," aiTthe guest of honor atright,- the eighth annual dinner of th!e^Pennsylvania society of s7--'iS?? Secretary of ytate Ehhu Boot sounded a plea to the states of the union for better co operation with the national govern ment. Time was, he said, when lack of facilities for travel and communication and before the nation advanced to its present important place in the list of the powers of the world, that each separate colony, transformed 'into a state, was complete in itself, except as to a few exceedingly simple rela tions of state to state and foreign na tions. Conditions have changed. vastly^ said Mr. Root. The growth of a na tional sentiment, fanned by the in sults and hardships to which'the infant nation was sub.jeet free trade between we, states, which has grown to enor mous proportions and the development of facilities of travel and communica tion, have combined to work this won derful change. Under these conditions no state can regulate its affairs with sole reference to its own treasury, con venience or special interests. powe and regulation passing to the national government. "By an assertion of the interstate commerce power or of the taxing power the national government is taking up duties which under the changed con ditions the separate states are no longer capable of performing. The federal anti-trust law, the anti-rebate railroad rate law, meat inspection, oleomargarin and pure food laws are examples of thi,s. "New projects of national control are mooted control of insurance, uni form divorce and child labor laws, and many others affecting matters formerly entirely within the cognizance of the state are proposed. I submit to your judgment, and I desire to impress upon you with all the earnestness I possess tfiat there is but one way in which the states can main tain their power and authority under the conditions which are now before us,, and that way is thru ah awakening by the states of their own tutie to the country at large.

PRESIDENT'S HANDS TIED Spooner Opposes Authorization of In tervention in Congo Affairs. Journal Special Service. Washington, Dee. 13.President Eoosevelt will not be authorized by the senate to co-operate with European na tions in such action as will terminate atrocities in the Congo Free State with out some delay and opposition. The resolution offered by Mr. Lodge, in obedience to the expressed wishes of' the president, came up for considera-' tion before the foreign relations com mittee. Mr. Morgan strongly favored the Lodge resolution, as did Mr. Ba con and some other members of the committee. Senator Spooner did not entertain the same views as his associates. ede sired to be heard before action is taken on the resolution, and an oppor tunity will be given him at the next meeting to explain his attitude. I is understood Mr. Spooner rather criti cized the paradoxical attitude of the committee in approving a resolution announcing that this government will not become entangled in the affairs of any foreign country, and on the. same day adopting a resolution em powering the president to interfere in the affairs of Belgium as dominating factor in the Congo Free State.

Every individ ual is bound to regulate his conduct with some reference to its effect upon his neighbors, and the more populous the community and the closer individ uals are brought together the more im perative becomes the necessity which constrains individual conduct. ^'If any state is maintaining laws which afford opportunity and authority for practices condemned by the public sense of the whole country, that state is violating the conditions upon which alone can its power be preserved. If any state maintains laws which pro mote and foster the enormous over-cap italization of corporations, condemned by the people of the country generally if any state maintains lawa designed to make easy the formation of trusts and the creation of monopolies if any state maintains laws which permit con ditions of child labor revolting to the sense of mankind if any state jmain tains laws on marriage and divorce so far inconsistent with the general stand ard of the nation as to derange do mestic relations which the majority of the states desire to preserve, that state is promoting the tendency for national control. States Are at Fault. "The intervention of the national government in many of the matters which it has recently undertaken would have been wholly unnecessary if the states themselves had been alive to their duty. I is useless for the advo cates of state rights to inveigh against the supremacy of the constitutional laws of the United States, or against the extension of national authority in the fields of necessary control, where the states themselves fail in the per formance of their duty. "The instinct for selfrgovernment among the people is. too strong to per mit them long to respect any one's right to exercise a power which he fails to exercise. The governmenal control which they deem just and necessary they will have. I may be that such control could be better exercised in. particular instances by the states, but the people will have the control they need, either from the states or from the national government. If the states fail to furnish it, sooner or later con structions of the constitution will be found to vest the power where it will be exercised, in the national govern ment. "The true and only way to preserve state authority is to be found in tho awakened conscience flf the states, their broadened views and higher standard of responsibility to the general public in effective legislation by the states in conformity to the general moral sense of the country, and in the vigorous ex- STORER CASE HIS NOT HURT IRELAND Pope Does Not Consider Arch* bishop as Affected by the Incident. *&& Journal Special Service. Borne, Dec. 13.The reopening of the Storer case has aroused the keenest in terest at the Vatican. High church dignitaries lay stress on the fact that Mrs. Storer's supposed intriguing was limited to two or three letters and per sonal interviews. A cardinal, who is advocating the appointment of Arch bishop Ireland, savs that had not the ambassador's recall coincided with tha archbishop's A'isit here and had not the case been given undue publicity, the appointment would now be an accom plished fact. It is said to be certain that the Vat ican regard's the quarrel as personal to President Boosevelt and Mr. Storer, and as not. affecting an unwilling and disinterested third party. Mrs. Storer Satisfied. Journal Special Service. Cincinnati,, Dec. 13.Mrs. Bellamy Storer has given a formal interview on the controversy with President Boose velt. She says: "We are satisfied that our position has been absolutely and fully ex plained. We will lose no friends. "Th is matter has had much more notoriety and publicity than we ever dreamed would be given it, but I feel that Mr. Storer was thoroly justified, and we are satisfied that our position has been absolutely and fully ex plained. I is a question of the truth of the president's allegations as against ours.'' Mrs. Storer's Conversion. The interest which Mr. and Mrs. Bellamy Storer have shown in Arch bishop Ireland is explained by the fact that this distinguished prelate of the Catholic church is responsible for the conversion of both Mr. and Mrs. Storer to that faith. His grace's teaching of the faith to Mrs. Storer caused a sen sation in society years ago, when the announcement was made of her baptism into the church. The friendship of Archbishop Ireland with the Storers was credited with the hearty support given President McKin ley by the church dignitary. Arch bishop Ireland's service for the repub lican ticket in 1896 made him a na tional figure, and when President Mc Kinley was inducted into office a suit able reward was sought for Bellamy Storer. Storer preferred a cabinet position. He was slated to become assistant sec retary of state. At that moment the figure of Senator Joseph B^ Foraker loomed up, and his opposition to Storer caused President McKinley to cast about. for another berth. A consular position was suggested. Foraker was asked if he had any objection to Storer's being sent out of the country on a diplomatic mission. "The farther the better," is said to have been the politician's reply. Storer was sent abroad. TheJStorer-Eobsevelt incident has re vived rum^orsjand^'coh^firmed suspicions of a feeling, of-unrest in the Longworth and Eoosevelt .households. Mrs! Maria Longworth Storer is a sister of the father of Congressman Nicholas Long worth, who married Alice Boosevelt. It is remarked that when Alice Boosevelt visited Cincinnati in the sum mer of 1905, ostensibly to s'ee the town, hut jeaUy ty get a^uainted with the LohgWdrth family, MJS ^Nlasbiai Long worth, mother of Nicholas, took a hasty and unexpected trip to Paris to visit her daughter, the Countess de Cham* bran. This left the duties of hostess, to Mrs. Buckner Wallingford, a sister of Nicholas. But the affairs of Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, Jr., have always been graced by the presence of her mother-in-law. -ws-^wiws-^j
