(Official City, State and County Newspaper) CONSTITUTION NEEDS STUDY ‘The Constitutional Educational Association points out Phat Sept. 17, next, will mark the 141st anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of the United States, In connection with the glad event it urges “a real genu- ine ‘Study the Constitution Week.’ ” There is a proposition which we're glad to endorse, The Constitution of the United States is praised more &Qnd read less than any similar document in the world, Probably. No stump speaker, no perspiring political spellbinder, no rotund convention headliner, would dream of finishing a speech without some reference to it. But this is mostly lip service. Among those who would be pained, shocked and horrified if every’ pro- vision of the grand old document were actually enforced to the hilt are many of those who are loudest in its Praise. Some of the men who made the Constitution and framed its subsequent amendments may not have had a very deep and abiding trust in the ability of the aver- age man to govern himself. The views of Alexander Hamilton, for instance, are fairly well known. But these men had an even deeper distrust of governing classes. No one can read the Constitution and its amendments ‘without concluding that the framers were haunted by @ fear that the country’s rulers might, now and again, try to make democracy a shadow. Read, if you doubt it, a few excerpts from the Consti- tution: en that General Motors is an industrial, not a po- litieal, organization. LINDBERGH'S INCOME Lindbergh’s earnings during the past six months at approximately $204,000, That is a pretty fair sort of income—one that even a heavyweight prize fighter or a carefully marcelled movie actor might be proud of. And the flying colonel, ‘4 to our way of thinking, has earned every dime of it. It's refreshing to know that such a chap as Lind- jbergh, who scorned all the cheap, obvious methods of | cashing in on his exploit, turned a deaf ear to the pub- | licity agents and made it very plain that he isn’t flying primarily for the money there is in it, can reap a golden reward just the same. There will be mighty few peo- ple, we suspect, who will begrudge it to him. | Editorial Comment | SUBSTANCE AND THOUGHT (Canadian Churchman.) A wise father directed his son to mark a letter of the alphabet on each one of a thousand little cards and then throw them all high into the air, so as to observe whether chance would cause them to fall into any in- telligent order or design. So he taught him that there must be the thought of a Bernard Shaw behind the let- ters before the judgment can be challenged by a living drama. There must be the thought of a Kipling be- hind the alphabet before the imagination can be thrilled or the will aroused by an impetuous poem. There must. be the thought of a Beethoven behind the notes before the great organ can thunder its emotion or its triumph, Behind the artist's brush there must be the thought of a Raphael before the fond Madonna can look upon us with her lustrous eyes. Similarly, behind the suns and stars and planets that make up this tremendous uni- verse, there must be the thought of God, wise and cre- ative. Behind all substance, all movement, and all life is thought, for without thought there can be no existence, animate or inanimate. THE BARBER’S NEW NAME (Nation’s Business Magazine.) Old trades continue to find new answers to the query, “What's ina name?” Now the barbers, by associational decision, have fixed on “chirotonsor” for title of the craft. Reason for the change is given by Louis Mcll- vaine, general secretary of the National Association of Master Barbers. “Chirotonsor is the general name of the profession,” he said, “just as the name physician may cover specialists in many fields.” All the beauty parlor operators, hairdressers, and complexion special- ists, as well as the barbers, may be known as chiroton- jobbers, barbers, and clay compacters are all labeled alike. Even the barber pole is going out of fashion. Once it signified that the barber was an expert in blood letting, and thus advertised the medical aspect of his business, When the barber gave up blood letting by in- tention, he grew away from the use of the pole. This revision by the traditional caretaker of one ex- tremity has inspired no emulation among the accepted attendants of the other. G. Stavrakas, president of the Bootblacks Protective union, Chicago, tells why. “What's a bootblack?” Mr. Stavrakas asks, rhetorically, and then procéeds to answer himself: “Why, a shoe shiner, a “Congress shall make no law... abridging the free- dom of speech or of the press; or of the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” “The right of the people to be secure in their per- Bons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable Searches and seizures shall not be violated, and no war- ants shall issue but upon probable cause.” “No religious test shall ever be required as a qualifi- cation to any office or public trust under the United States.” Those declarations are fairly definite and clear. Yet, during the last decade, every one of them has been in- fringed upon, repeatedly, to the tune of hurrahs from Rertain defenders of law and order. There has been a fendency to regard the Constitution solely as an in- strument set up to protect the status quo from sudden and unwise changes, It is, in reality, an instrument to Protect the people from an excess of government. let's have a “study the Constitution week,” by all means, And, while we're about it, let’s really study it— and see if there aren’t places, here and there, where we have forgotten its letter or spirit, or both. We have ®iven it lip service long enough. KEEPING THE WAR FRESH A number of waiters in a certain Paris restaurant fhave been accustomed to wear on their black uniform coats medals won in the World War. The Croix de Guerre dangled from many an obsequious chest as the {pate de foie gras went sailing through the air. Now the management of this restaurant has forbid- +Hen the waiters to wear their decorations. The medals give offense, it seems. Peace-time pa- trons don’t like to be reminded of the war. It has been fever for nearly ten years, and the restaurant manage- fment feels that it ought to be forgotten. This is a perfectly natural attitude, especially for a festauran’ serving the better class of people. It must be rather embarrassing for a journalist, let us say, who {whooped it up for La Patrie and bloodshed in July of 1914, and snuggled down safely to his desk for the hhext four years, to reflect, as he nibbles his hors | @oeuvres, that the man who served him spent four (ears in the trenches. Yet there are some things that ought not to be for- Botten. And the World War is one of them. Human nature forgets things easily. It is one of the ®hings that helps make life endurable. Bitter experi- fences have a way of getting softened by time, But Bhis is not entirely an advantage. The burnt child will never learn to fear the fire if the doesn’t remember how badly it hurt him. And this Blunderi;; world will never learn to avoid that “next twar” we're always talking about if it doesn’t manage to kemember what a terrible thing the last one was, The human suffering brought on by that conflict was, fi its total, simply beyond computation. It can only be fmagined. No one in his senses would countenance a ®epetition of it unless there were no other way out. But when the next threat of war comes, that suffer- Ing will be forgotten. Influential people will not re- ‘member it. They will hear the bugles and see the ban- ners and thrill to the thud-thud of marching feet, and they will remember that war has always been; and it ‘will not appear to them in all its grisly awfulness. And, ‘without really willing any universal heart-break, they will agree that war, once more, “is inevitable.” Wer is seldom or never really inevitable. Patience and intelligence could nearly always find some other solution. If memory of the last war could remain alive shine boy, and a bootblack. Bootblack is the name of an aged and honorable profession, which dates back to the time of the Pharaohs of Egypt, and bootblack it stays.” CHICAGO CLEANING HOUSE (St. Paul News.) 4 for “Big Bill the Builder,” Things are breaking badly Chicago's flag waving mayor. One of his members of the school board, the city comptroller and now his favorite chief of police have all quit their jobs. There are persistent rumors of other defections from the ranks. Meanwhile “Big Bill” Thompson himself is in none too good health at a Wisconsin resort while he pon- ders over the recent court decision holding him and some of his henchmen liable for $1,000,000 of the tax- Pa pease @ he first bad luck happened when the voters be- came aroused at the primaries and voted down ' the Thompson-Crowe-Smith faction. It has increased and now a special grand jury is investigating with intent, it is reported, to bring in some indictments against others high up in the political gang, For the sake of Chicago and the rest of America it is to be hoped that the house cleaning is thorough. Of late years the administration of that city has been a travesty on decency and a by-word of reproach on the lips of those who discussed American political in- stitutions, The most encouraging factor in the present situa- tion is the increasing determination of more and more Chicago citizens to get rid of “Big Bill” and the kind of frattcg terrorism whieh has flourished there. ‘ven Mayor Thompson can not get away with his buncombe forever. NOT A BUMPER CROP (Valley City Times-Record.) Bank of North Dakota field agents are circulating reports in the papers to the effect that North Dakota is going to harvest a bumper crop. This is absolutely erroneous. North Daketa is net going to harvest a bumper crop and there is no sense in these men send- ing out any such report. The fact of the matter is that the state will harvest a fair crop—and that is all. The severe dry weather of May cut down any possi- bility of a bumper crop. In June and from then on the state has been abundantly supplied with moisture and crops recovered rapidly and there are spots in the state that will have big crops and in spots the crop will be medium and in some places light. As a whole North Dakota will have what might be termed a fair crop, but if the prices of grain keep going down there will not be much money made on farming this year. Feed crops have recuperated in great shape since the rains and the evidence is that farmers will have plenty of feed. We can see no reason for any per- son to send out the report that we have a bumper crop. There is nothing to that. What we will have if things break all right from this time until harvest is concluded, will be a very average SED, North Dakota as a whole is looking fine at this time. There has been a great increase in dairying and sheep raising in the state which adds to its prosperity. Al- falfa and sweet clover crops have increased very largely and these will help solve the feed question. There are few spots in the country that can show a better aver- age than North Dakota, but when you get down to call- ing it a bumper crop you are going sioperer too strong, and that statement will be confirmed after the threshing machines get into action.
