We believe firmly that the States, in assenting to the Constitu-
tion, no more divested themselves of sovereignty in favor of their
degislatures than in favor of Congress, in the matter of agreeing
to amendments. It has been repeatedly held—although not in eon-
Section with this particular section—that legislatures derive no
bowers from the Federal Constitution. All powers relinquished by
the States are to Congress, the President and the Federal judiciary.
Congress is ordered to propose amendments in certain circumstances
and given discretion to designate the ratifying agency, that discre-
tio itself being limited. And there its action ends. It can not, in
any way control the ratifying agencies nor give them a power of
'decision; it has not that power to give. The power of decision must
be given by the State. The agency designated is a State agency.
It is no Federal concern whether that agency is ordered to ratify,
ordered not to ratify or forbidden to act at all, by the State to which
St belongs.

A State court acted in the Washington case, and we see no
reason why cine can not act in the Texas case. I a Federal question
lean be shown to be involved the case can be certified to the Supreme
Court. If that tribunal holds that Legislatures are Federal agencies,
all's over with the theory of “government by the people.” Congress
nnd the Legislatures can do with us as they will, and the ballot in
the hand of the freeman may as well be taken home and pasted in
the family album as cast at the polls.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., July 7— o‘r-
cials of the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad here today denied reports
that a passenger train on that road had
been held up at Hunter’s Switch, la
Polk County, Saturday. Reports re-
ceived by telephone at various points
in Tennessee last niht were to the ef-
fects that robbers had dynamited an
express car and escaped with 830,000,
the pay roll of the Ducktown Copper
Company. Officials said the rumor in
all probabilitv originated from the
theft of 1300 from a resident in Ducke
town Saturday bv unknown, person a.
trusted my estate in the Brazils be-
fore setting forth on the ill-fated er-
rand which threw me for twenty-eight
years on my island. So pleased was I
with his honesty that I settled 100
moidures a year on him and fifty
moidures a year on his son, both for
life.
I married and begot three children,
and except for the one voyage to the
old island, of which I have spoken, I
roamed no mor. So here I am, hav-
ing lived a life of infinite variety for
twenty-nine years, blessed with more
than I deserve and resolved to prepare
now for the longest journey of all. If
I have learned any thing, It is a knowl-
edge of the value of retirement and
the blessing of ending our days in
peace.

in Texas of the Federal suffrage amendment, and if the ratifications

and if the amendment should be proclaimed in due form, a great

The ship was no sooner out of port

sea to rise in the most frightful man-
ner. which made me most terribly sick
in body and frightened in mind. In my
agony I vowed that if God would spare
me through this one voyage I would
go, immediately I set foot on land, di-
rectly home to my good parents and
be ever after guided in my conduct
by their advice.

This is exactly why the recent ratification should be tested, in
the interest of all the people of the State. It is only natural that
some of the people should be willing to let that ratification stand.
Some of the people will be represented in any action taken by the
Legislature. But not the same people every time. People who think
the effect of this action is good would not agree that the effect of
some other action would be good, and consequently would be unwill-
ing that the Legislature be all-powerful to take that other action.
And if the Legislature has a Federal power whenever a Federal
amendment is submitted, under which it can ignore its State Con-
stitution and the expressed will of its electors, the people of this State
can do nothing to bind it in the future. They can only tell it what
it ought to do. Which is exactly what they did on May 24, and ex-
lastly what the framers of our State Constitution had already done,
by specifying that which the Legislature could do and saying, in
effect: “These are your powers and all other powers belong to the
people, in whom at political power inheres and from whom you must
secure authority to invalidate any part of this Constitution.”
Our "referendum clause” is to be found in our Bill of Rights and
elsewhere in several sections of our Constilution. If it doesn’t exist
it never will exist, and anything we add to the State Constitution
'will have no more force than an admonition.
Belief in “magic” is the product of imperfect reasoning. Let

in his heart. If he has any and the
chances are that he has.
The big mistake made by most wo-
men t. when their husbands fail to view
things from their perspective, is to
relate a tale of self-pity, which gen-
erally has just the opposite effect from
that which they desire. 'In the first
place, the husband doesn’t like to hear
it. In the secend place, it is selfish.
It also suggests that the husband
hasn’t been doing his part. The
thought quickly flashes through his
mind that she isn’t considering his
side of the question at all. He feels
that in justice to himself he must pre-
sent for her consideration his side or
the proposition. These slight presen-
tations result in unhappiness for both.
Neither the husband nor the wife
will gain a thing by harping over sel-
fish views and "rag-chewing." Both
will go ahead doing the samejthings
and both with an unpleasant feeling.
If the principle of love ruled, both
could do the same things and be simp-
ly happy.
In applying the proper method, sug-
gested above, do not even incidental-
ly. mention your own inconvenience or
your own suffering, or your own added
work. If you put up a one-sided story
of your husband’s kindness and show
genuine appreciation of the generous
part he has played and is playing, you
will run the greatest chances of get-
ting him really to think that you ap-
preciate your situation. If he speaks
of it. On the contrary’, pass it over
slightly.
Tell others tactfully. In his presence
about the fine spirit of co-operation
he has shown. If he knows beyond
doubt that his situation is appreciated,
he very likely will tell you and show
you that he appreciates yours.

high surf to the shore. All I pos-
sessed at the time was a knife, a pipe
and a little tobacco in a box. Walking
along the shore, when I had recov-
ered sufficiently in strength so to walk,
I found fresh water, a great joy. Hav-
ing drunk and put a little tobacco
against the hunger in my mouth, I
took up my lodging in a tree and did
there sleep to my great refreshment
throughout the night.
Next morning the weather was clear
and the sea mild, but what pleased
me most was the sight of the ship,
which, as the tide ebbed, lay so close
to the shore that I found no trouble
in swimming out to it. No living
thing except a dog and two cats were
left on the ship; but there was a store
of necessities, and such I took, build-
ing a raft for the purpose of trans-
porting them to an inlet in the island
where was fresh water and a flat
high place for my habitation. Bread,
rice, barley and corn, cheese and dried
goat's flesh, some sugar, flour planks,
spars, rope—all these with muskets,
two pistols, fowling pieces. a store of
lead and powder, two saws, an axe,
a hammer, and—which was the least
use of all—thirty-six pounds sterling.
All these Ipiloted from day to day
between tides from ship to shore. On
the night of the thirteenth day my
work of transportation being done 1
lay down in my usual fear of wild
beasts, but also of thankfulness in the
knowledge that I was prepared for
some time to come against the bar-
renness of this island.
There were wild fruit trees on the
island, but it was many days before
I discovered them. There were also
goats running wild, but without the
firearms and ammunition I had
brought from the ship of what avail
were they to me? So I had reason to
be thankful for the good Providence
which held the ship to the shore until
I had taken off all that was of use
to me.
There was much to be done if I
were to secure my existence on this
strange island. The needful things I
did as best I could in turn, but not
always with good fortune attending my
efforts. In my first planting of bar-
ley and corn seed the half of my
precious stock was wasted by reason
of being planted in the very wrong
time. I spent weary months in mak-
ing earthware pots for holding fresh
water, and forty-two days it took me
to hew my first long plank from a
tree trunk. I strove for, weeks to
fashion a stone mortar to stamp grain
In. only to come at last to a block
of hollowed out Wood. Five months I
labored in felling a great cedar tree,
hewing and shaping it to the hull of
a splendid boat, with which I was
to escape from the island, only to be
forced to abandon it for want of a
means whereby to launch it into the
sea. However, every failure taught
me something I had not known be-
fore.
For the elements, there were great
winds and rains and earthquakes. But
I became used in time to all things.
I planted and harvested my crops of
barley and corn; I plucked my wild
grapes and dried them into nourishing
raisins: I raised and killed and smoked
and salted my tame goats, being thus
for variety of food not so badly served.
And so through twelve years during
which I saw no sign of human exist-
ence on the island other than my own.
until that eventful day on which I
met with the print of a man's naked
foot on the sand.
I was then like one thunderstruck.
I listened. I looked, but I could hear
nothing, see nothing. I went up the
chore, down the shore: but there was
only that single footprint! Terrified
to the last degree, I ran to my habi-
tation like one pursued and for three
days and nights thereafter I did no’
stir out.
What a commentary on the fear of
man for man! After twelve years of
pain and labor, twelve years of awr-
ring against the elements, to be thrown
into terror by the imprint of a human
foot! But bo it was.
After observation I learned that It
was the habit of cannibals from the
mainland to come to a part of the
island which I seldom visited to feast
upon the bodies of their cantured en-
emiea. One morning from my look-
out I perceived thirty savages dancing
around a fire. They had cooked one
victim and had two more ready for
the fire when I descended upon them
with two loaded muskets and my great
sword and was in time to save one
which they had not yet eaten. The
saved man I called Friday, in honor
of the day of hie rescue, and his was
the first voice I heard in all my twen-
ty-five year* on the island. He was
young, intelligent, of a superior race
of savages and became my trusted
companion for all the time I remained
on the island.
What Friday told me of the main-1
land, after I had taught him some.
A State Supreme Court—that of Washington—has upheld a
rreferendum clause in a State Constitution as binding a Legislature
in its action on a Federal amendment. But no referendum clause
in a State Constitution can be binding if Legislatures exercise a Fed-
eral power in passing on Federal amendments. If the Federal Con-
stitution does more than provide a mode for its amendment—as any
contract or covenant should; if it goes so far as to bestow an abso-
lute power to amend, then all the “shalls” and “musts” and "‘abso-
lately musts” which might be written into a State referendum provi-
bion a mile long must be worthless. Such a provision would only
be morally binding on a Legislature and could be ignored at its
pleasure.
E(0
with a mutinous crew put into my
island. I helped the captain recover
his ship and took passage with him
for England, leaving on the island tho
most mutinous members with two hon-
est ones who wished to remain. Later
my Spaniards returned and ah settled
together on the island, having their
dissensions at first, but settling down
finally into a flourishing colony, which
some years later it was my happiness
to visit.
After twenty-eight years, two
month* and nineteen days I left my
island. I anticipated mueh joy of my
arrival in England, but I was like a
stranger there. My mother and fa-
ther were both dead, which was un-
fortunate, as I could have been of great
service to them; for besides the 1200
pieces of gold from the Spanish ship,
there was 10,000 pounds sterling await-
ing me from an honest friend, a Por-
tuguese captain to Whom I had en-
We make many mistakes in our mar-
ried lives and it is not easy to say
which is the greatest.
But is not our fzilure to apply the
Gulden Rule—our neglecting to see
things from our companion's stand-
point of view — perhaps the greatest
mistake of all! It is certainly a gen-
eral cause f unhappiness, and most
of the minor causes are related-to it.
Even the common habit of fault-
finding is a result of our failure to
do unto others as we would have them
do unto us.
Let us examine a case. A wife
writes to me:
"Our married life was comparatively
happy until our baby came, when my
husband was obliged to begin doing
more of the work about the house.
Now that the baby is two months old
he thinks I ought to do again certain
things that I used to do. I always
thought that a child should make a
home happier instead of unhappy. Can
you suggest any way for me to im-
prove matters?’’
Your husband evidently has failed
to see things from your standpoint.
He has viewed the situation from his
own selfish standpoint.
The best way to get your husband
to consider your situation as he should
is to show him that you appreciate
his. Some evening after a good sup-
per. your work done and your hus-
band in good mood for conversation,
express to him seriously your appre-
ciation of his co-operation in the past
few months. Refer specificaly to one
or two things that he did for you vol-
untarily as examples of the fine spirit
of kindness you observed often but
did not always tell him about at the
time. Tell him you have appreciated
his spirit of helpfulness more than you
can express to him in mere words.
This will touch a responsive chord
