Blindly have we made this change. It Is time to open our eyes." There is a chorus of replies, saying. "Who cares how we get a good thing, Just so we get It? Since we have the cherries ot prohibition I don't give a rap how they were picked, constitution or no constitution." It makes no difference, dosen't It, how the ladder Is set when I pick cherlesT My little boy falls and breaks his neck, and my carelessness is of no conjeem? The plokers have dllrty. greasy hands and they pay no heed to how many bad or broken cherries they mingle with the fruit. Upon the return from the sale of which depends my llvllhood: and farther. In the process of getting the cherries they so tar break the limbs and mar the trees that their future usefulness Is gone. And I core nothing for all of this? It makes all the difference In the world. It the proper care of a good tree and Its fruit Is of so much concern, how much more the proper care of a good constitution, upon which depends the weal oi woe of myriad peoples. Prohibition la a great good—may we never consent to the open licensed saloon again. Nevertheless, If in the getting of prohibition, we so far mar tbe constitutional tree or weaken its roots that It will be subject more easily to destruction by adverse winds then we ought to know it, and find at once a beter way. The action of Governor Smith in signing the so-called anti-prohibition bill of New York ought at least to lead us to serious consideration of the merits of the American constitution. Ours Is a popular government. If we maintain it so, we must have an informed citiienshlp. The fathers ot this republic were students of the science of government, par excellence. Tho present age must return to a slm- tar study, if it would preserve and promote the good of the commonwealth. Before enquiring further aa to how the 18th amendment haa changed the spirit of our constitution, let us consider first the sort of constitution those fathers enacted. Two great principles were ever kept in view. The new state must be federal and it must be representative, It must be a federal republc. The new government could not be a pure democracy—It would be Impossible for every person to pass upon every law that must be enacted; and hence the people were to choose deputies, representatives, to make and administer the necessary laws. That is what we mean by a republican form ot government, rather than a direct or democratic form. We speak of it as democratic, however, meaning that the people are Indeed the final source of power. By federal was mean a happy balance of power between tbe States and the central government. The republic was to be a dual system, a federal system, wherein certain specified powers were handed over to a central ot national government, and the rest retained by the States, except In certain Instances where prohibitions were made upon the States, all power spring ing however eventually from the people. The fathers had seen and felt the danger of too much power residing In a central authority. They woud preserve local autonomy. Only so could true freedom be preserved to the people. Almost all police power, that is the internal police, was reserved to the States and the people. United States troops could not even he iisi'd to suppress local Insurrection save at the Invitation of a State. Now what has all this to do with the 18th amendment? The answer will appear In te News-Times next week. Publlus CHARLES KOPENHAFER DIES TUESDAY A. M.

Blindly have we made this change. It Is time to open our eyes." There is a chorus of replies, saying. "Who cares how we get a good thing, Just so we get It? Since we have the cherries ot prohibition I don't give a rap how they were picked, constitution or no constitution." It makes no difference, dosen't It, how the ladder Is set when I pick cherlesT My little boy falls and breaks his neck, and my carelessness is of no conjeem? The plokers have dllrty. greasy hands and they pay no heed to how many bad or broken cherries they mingle with the fruit. Upon the return from the sale of which depends my llvllhood: and farther. In the process of getting the cherries they so tar break the limbs and mar the trees that their future usefulness Is gone. And I core nothing for all of this? It makes all the difference In the world. It the proper care of a good tree and Its fruit Is of so much concern, how much more the proper care of a good constitution, upon which depends the weal oi woe of myriad peoples. Prohibition la a great good—may we never consent to the open licensed saloon again. Nevertheless, If in the getting of prohibition, we so far mar tbe constitutional tree or weaken its roots that It will be subject more easily to destruction by adverse winds then we ought to know it, and find at once a beter way. The action of Governor Smith in signing the so-called anti-prohibition bill of New York ought at least to lead us to serious consideration of the merits of the American constitution. Ours Is a popular government. If we maintain it so, we must have an informed citiienshlp. The fathers ot this republic were students of the science of government, par excellence. Tho present age must return to a slm- tar study, if it would preserve and promote the good of the commonwealth. Before enquiring further aa to how the 18th amendment haa changed the spirit of our constitution, let us consider first the sort of constitution those fathers enacted. Two great principles were ever kept in view. The new state must be federal and it must be representative, It must be a federal republc. The new government could not be a pure democracy—It would be Impossible for every person to pass upon every law that must be enacted; and hence the people were to choose deputies, representatives, to make and administer the necessary laws. That is what we mean by a republican form ot government, rather than a direct or democratic form. We speak of it as democratic, however, meaning that the people are Indeed the final source of power. By federal was mean a happy balance of power between tbe States and the central government. The republic was to be a dual system, a federal system, wherein certain specified powers were handed over to a central ot national government, and the rest retained by the States, except In certain Instances where prohibitions were made upon the States, all power spring ing however eventually from the people. The fathers had seen and felt the danger of too much power residing In a central authority. They woud preserve local autonomy. Only so could true freedom be preserved to the people. Almost all police power, that is the internal police, was reserved to the States and the people. United States troops could not even he iisi'd to suppress local Insurrection save at the Invitation of a State. Now what has all this to do with the 18th amendment? The answer will appear In te News-Times next week. Publlus CHARLES KOPENHAFER DIES TUESDAY A. M.
