Among the distinguished speak- ^ ere were Dr. Wood row Wilson gj of Prinn*tnn nni versil v and Hon William A. Barber former at- ^ torney general of Booth ('aro- u lina. When hia turn cam*, Mr tj Barbar. apeakiug to the "0><i 8outh " tackled Elihu Root for M his ravolutionary speech. m*d?? (I to tha PennayIvaniane ai ttie sama place only a tew night j, ago.

It seems fashionable now*- ^ days to discuss constitution >*1 L questions around ths dinner a table. (Laughter.) Only two ? nights ago, on an occasion like v (his, ths distinguishsd secretary * of state, speaking in this ban- (j quet hall, gave bis bearers ^ * - enough constitutional law to a give some, people indigestion. t His views are always interest- t \ing, but especially when he a speaks as the tribune of a cabi ? net of which be is so important l apart. , It is pleasing to be reminded that since our constitution was ( i adopted our oountry has grown , -^irorn a narrow jrtijp along the t r* Atmnfia unur it'impedes from 0 " ocean to ocean, and embraces Q some "85,000,000 population. It i( is pleasing to be told that since u the constitution was adopted ^ the genius of modern invention q has so destroyed time and dis- a tance that every section of this B, great country is in immediate C! contaot. and has intimate trade and social relations with every other section. .l T>?i. _:i.u u: ,i. 1 J3UI- WlHI UIB UtMlUlllftlUIl IUHI this increase in ar?a and popn- 8t lation, and this clovse business intercourse demand either a ,k( modification or a new construe- rt tion of the constitution we can- rp not agree. We believe with tl our fathers, that our people are HC slow to change; that the size of at the country and the exigencies jj of trade are less important thanjjj the preservation of individual I .?i liberty. We believe t.haj the ;ll rights of each citizen todav are q,\ the same as the rights of each (. citizen of the snvdler conn'tt,r in vv 1 781 W<j believe these righth, at are and will continue to be. heat t< preserved by an inexorable eh- tl torcement of the old constitn- ci tion. vv Tf it he true, as there is a u growiag impression, that the V executive reaches nut tn pnntml ** the courts and, perhaps, get the n new construction of the consti- gi tution that- is wanted we invoke g the warning of Chief Justice ff Marshall that the very safety of * the republic requires the legis- p lative, exeutive and judicial F power to remain forever separate . ? and distinct. Although we are told that "we are moving for- d ward in a development of bus- a iness and social life which tends si more and more to the oblitera- a tion of state lines and the de- n r>rA?aa nf at a fa nAorar no aaiyi^ I ti wvuwv |/VITVi| ao WUi?

In our schools a may see a few ajllablaa tfnrmed out of our palling, at we will not tea state oea reformed out ot our Bography. And too, some of ua believe let the fixing of qualifications ?r admission to the public shonls is among the powers seerved to the states, and that je old constitution will not *dut the army and navy of the rnited States to the deliberations of our schools boards.
