It was September 17, 1787. It took two 3 and it was ) ch 4, 1789, before it actually went into Not in the 149 years since its adoption has the Constitution been more the subject of controversy than in the last two or three years, primarily due to acts of Congres Conrt for p as to their validity. been cast aside; others upheld. Thus the nation has become, as the popular saying goes, Constitution- conscious. Tt is a happy situation, and it may be that it has caused a few more of our citizens to read the document. It is worth reading at intervals. It is particularly apropos to read it at the present time in view of the vast amount of propaganda that is, being spread relative to it, as a means of political| end. It doesn’t require a judge of the Supreme Court| to analyze the Constitution for the purposes of the average citizen. It is written in language that any one who has completed the eighth grade in| school can readily undeystand. Tt is suggested that! the next time you hear a bell wether shouting in the wilderness about the Constitution, that a copy of the document (easily available in the Library and in many history books) and for yourself. You will be surrprised how often there will be evidence that the ranter apparently even with the preamble. Some have ag simple you procure read isn't familiar THE ENTHUSIASTIC COLONEL In his political enthusiasm, Col. Frank Knox, the Republican vice presidential nominee, apparently forgot himself for the moment. Keyed up to flay| his opposition in Pennsylvania the other day, the| Colonel shouted: “Today no life insurance policy is secure and no savings account is safe” A broad statement, obviously uttered without thought to the consequences. Banking Secretary Dr. Ruther Harr of Pennsylvania, who has the task of protecting the financial institutions of his state against false accusations, immediately challenged the Colonel, demanding a retraction or proof of the state- ment. There is a law ih Pennsylvania and in most of the other States making it unlawful to spread base- less rumors about banking houses where the people keep their money, due, of course, to the fact that rumors cause panics in depositors’ minds, which lead to panics in banks and too often to “runs” which re- sult in disaster and heart breaks. A few nights later in Montana, Colonel Knox re- tracted in these words: “The statement does not refer to banks and in-| surance companies, as they are safe as Gibraltar. Tt is the administration of Government that is not sound.” { Obviously, the Colonel did not mean what he said in the first instance. He is not the caliber of man to GETTING READY FOR BAL MASQUE 5 L) up the nails s for ratification by the several states which have gone to the Supreme of Jane Parrington’s fingers 1 frolic of artists and writers of the Car r most of us hold are unsound. He probably has several of his own about which he is not the least worried, he would not have them, being an intelligent man. No, the Colonel was just carried away by the| ions and best wishes today, their ¢’amour of his own remarks, and burning with politi- | birthday anniversars, v the foliow- | ¢l fire. Whether the voters in the States will feel man carried away in such a manner in the heat of Fattle would retain a balance if elected to the second I ‘ghest office in the land remains to be seen on No- vember 3.

By Wire Chee (New York Times). The telegraph companies are at it again. And 1ce more we find ourselves thinking what a pity it i, that the profit motive should be the source of so much evil, because really the lust for profits does stimulate ingenuity. This particular telegraph company has filed a rumber of special rate schedules at Washington. One | curd offers special rates for “messages of encourage- | ment and stimulation, known commonly as ‘pep’ lly believe that the life insurance policies which H messages, on occasion of athletic and debating con- s If your football team is playing Harvard, and y » prevented from attending by circumstances | c *s beyond your control, you can send a wire, You into them, eat them alive, stepi over them for the sake of Old Catawba,” and the tele-| graph company will give you a special r: i So will the telegraph company give a special rate for kiddiegrams. These are defined as ‘“‘messages ol; fixed text for children.” They are obviously the counterpart of the Father's Day and Mother’s Day messages which the wire companies have popularized, aiong with other forms for many other occasions,' birthdays and weddings and college commencements. | The telegraph companies have codified life and love | and mortality for the American people. A person | need only pick up his telephone, call Western Union, | and ask for No. 11 or No. 24, corresponding to the joy | or sorrow of the occasion. | Pepograms and kiddiegrams, how would the cri- tics of laissgz faire describe them? Are they pro- duction for use or production for profit? The tele- | gram to the football team offers no difficulties. The profit motive sticks out. | But the kiddiegram is not so easy to dismiss, or the telegram from college on Mother’s Day. In both cases the reminder may have come, from an ad by the telegraph company in the paper, or a big sign in the telegraph company's window. ut even then, how many modern economists will actually lay hand heart and declare that there is no use in sending Mother a wire or buying Father a necktie; and that 2 profit-hungry corporation, and a monopoly it is ati that? At any rate, whether worth or waste, it was in- genious to think up pepograms and kiddiegrams, and no doubt to fix the age limits for each class. For, obviously, if you have a son playing right guard on & the football team’you cannot send him a kiddiegram.

Hypnotism Ends i Students’ Fears of Dental Drill LONDON, Sept. 17.—Students at the Royal dentist huspital here have | had their teeth cracked, chipped,' filled and extracted, all without, | anesthetics—and all without pain.| It's done by hypnotic suggestion. “There is nothing mysterious about it,” claims Mr. William Lovatt, who is lecturing on “hypnotic dentistry,” “it is a perfectly natural process, and in no way harmful. “A suggestive patient—and 70 per cent are—has only to accept sug- gestions for anaesthesia and he can | submit to the forceps or drill confi- dent that he will feel nothing, either !at the time or afterwards.” | Experience with 3,000 cases, he | says, has convinced Mr. Lovatt that the possibilities of hypnotism in {modern medicine are enormous.
