NEWTOWN
Poor Mail - Service. '.- v
The paucity of the mail service by
trains is notorious in Newtown, thero
being no . mail south leaving either
Newtown or Sandy Hook from 6:10
p. m. of one day till 10 a. m. on the
next day. At the end of each week
this is worse on account of the inter
vening Sunday. This causes no end
of annoyance-to business men who are
compelled frequently to take train ! at
7 a. m. to do work which could be
done by letter if the early train took
even closed pouches. This matter
should b taken; up by the, men's
club at once with the incoming post
master in the Center, and if pushed
strongly ought to have weight, with
the postal authorities. The 'condi
tion is intolerable, and a huge peti
tion for redress would be forthcom-
ing, if the aforesaid organization will
take the initiative.

WHY THE DICK LAW
IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Reasons by Those Who- Doubt Presi
dent Can Call on Militia. '
V
The Dick law, '. the constitutionality
of which is now being tested before
th United States Supreme court was
formulated by a 'convention of th ad
jutant generals of the militia of the
various states at, a meeting, in Wash
ington in. 1903. It sought to correct
the many - bad features of the - non
uniformity of national ; guard estab
lishments in the-various states, which
had developed at the time of the

the President was-empowered to order
the -national guard of any state or ter-i
ritory Into service, and to send, them

regardless of whether that place was
Inside the territory ' of the ; United
States or not. By this it was thought

- This plan, admirable In its" ideas is
held to be unconstitutional. : It had

'..Those-who argue that the provision
f the law is not constitutional - say
:hat, according to the constitution,' the
President 1 may use r the militia for
three things to repel : invasion,- to
quell internal strife and to enforce the
laws. - Neither of these three, things
is covered by-the action of the Pres
ident in sending the national guard to
