Judge — Sveinbjorn Johnson of the supreme court also} briefly gave observations as a part of the “Constitution Week” program of the club. Mr. Baker, at the outset, the constitutional 1787 which, he of practical men who had experien- 1 secution, tyranny and op- pression, the bitter struggles of pioneer people for existence and the freedom of the great out doors of natural America; men who were tent upon 1 ng a permanent foun- dation for a balanced government.” n described tion of made up said, “w in- Profit From History These men, he said, profiting from their experiences and lessons of history, set about the construction a system of checks and balances. this foundation of government, thirteen original colonies — ex- panded to the greatest nation on Mr. Baker said. ec have grown Atwerica to thinking constitution giving points by whieh we can safely he said. “Believing that our tutional form of government is founded wisdom and on swe have taken its per re or less for granted nd have fancied ourselves immune from that appetite for ie change which Lecky jared to be t diseases that can afflict a people. Yet when we con- sider the comparative ease — with which the four amendments to the federal constitution were adopt- ed and the far reaching changes they have wrought in our national lif we are compelled to ask ourselve how far this confidence is justified. In the light of current history can we be mistaken in thinking that here two forces are stirring which must make the organic law of the future a different thing from the organic law of to “Let me remind you, he “that the last Congress, following in this respect the example of those which immediately preceded it, pro- duced no than 109 bills and joint resolutions proposing to amend the constitution. They followed, it s true, in the wake of no less than 54 others which had intro- duced since the first Congress be- gan its sitting, but exceeded in num- ber those of ny Congress save the 36th, which met when men were busy devising plans to avert the oncoming Civil War. No doubt many of these proposals were trial balloons, and the total loses some- thing of its portent when duplica- tions are considered. But any fair estimate of the public temper must include also those amendments spon- sored by unofficial groups and or- ganizations that have not found yet a congressional godfather.” Duties of Citizens The necessity for citizens taking an active part in governmental at- fairs was urged by Mr. Baker. “William Penn once quaintly said: Governments, like clocks, go from the motion men give them; and as governments are made and moved by men, so by them they are ruined too. Wherefore governments races depend upon men than men upon governments.” “After being drafted to speak here today I went to a very old and a good friend who was born, by y, in a foreign land, and a: m how he would like to h c of the day presented. He said that he came to America when he boy and had lived here ever since; that he early took interest in polities; clean politics, he said, and I believe him. He said that he didn’t know of any other country that he liked so well but that his feelings very nearly ap- proached disgust whenever he thought of that element of our cit- izenry who bear the label of 100 percent American but maintain an attitude of indifference and smug complacency in matters pertaining to politics. Language is not strong enough to express this gentleman's contempt for that element of aloot and seif-esteemed individuals who abhor the dirt and contamination of ‘American politics. “It is well known that there are many so-called respectable citize of our community who do lip-service to the flag, say much of slackers and bolsheviki and glory in parades, who will not stand for election to office or participate in the correc- tion of the abuses and evils of our election machinery; will not design to attend political conventions or to assist in conducting honest elec- tions, in short ignore their primary obligations as citizens. Are such the really worthy citizens of the republic? “Let me quote from an address of Judge Martin J. Wade delivered last week in Minneapolis: Do we have any notion that this country can be run by 50 percent of the voters when the 50 percent who went to the polls in the 1920 election included many if not most of those whom we would exclude from~voting if it were in our power? “Every hack driver, demagogue and ward heeler—those who went to AY FEVER vecustomed in of our writte fixed in based orga de last u said, been other as was a an THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE ~ the polls not to tell the nation what | felt about 1son they personally it, but for some other r there, you may be sure, in that 50 percent | army.” | SIX KILLD IN AUTO CRASH were Two British N “Among Those Killed val Officers | | | and, Sept. 16.} re kill | ish naval offi-| world war her- crashed in- il road early St. Johns, New Found (By the A, P.)- ed, two of them Br cers and two othe oes, when an automobi to a crowd on the Tops tod Leonard R son of the late Sir William Reid, was arrested | on a charge of manslaughter as the | driver of the car.

After plungi#g into the group, the car swerved, overturned and plung- ed down an embankment. There was no explanation today of the cause of the accident, Reid being too unnery- ed, it was said, to make any state- ment. Six men we FIND BODY OF GIRL, 15, SLAIN se Recalls Killing of Rev.

It is to be expected that the ma- jority of motorists in the state will take advantage of the Commission’s new service to have their questions ubout highways; their buildings, maintenance, and use, answered. el tests for farmers who pits on their land will so be made by the department if a sample of the gravel is sent to the Commission's office in Bismarck ac- companied by a letter locating the pit and giving the owners name. “We believe,” said Chief Engineer Black, of the Commission, “that the Highway Commission has a greater duty to the residents of the — state than the mere building and upkeep of highwa It should do these two things, and do them well, but it should also serve as a statewide ser- vice bureau, It should prepare it- self to render assistance to every person in the state; and it should keep these people informed as to what it is doing.
