It seems singularly appropriate end fitting, at this particular time, that that great charter of gover ment, “The American Constitution. should have been selected by The Star as_the sub- ject of its na- tional oratorical contest. It has been frequently asserted, by those well q ified to speak, that, among the youth of to- day, there is a lack of respect for " law. Possi- bly that may be due, in part at least, to a lack of intelligent appre- ciation of our system of govern- ment, so caretully, not to say wonderfully, thought out and planned long years ago. Such an intellectual contest as is now opened to the youth of the country cannot fail to inspire stud; and, with that study, a better knowledge of the re- quirements of good and useful citi- zenship. The youth of today will be the responsible citizen of tomorrow. Anything that will tend to inspire a respect for the law and for the Con- stitution will surely make for the xeneral welfare and good of the en- tire count The Star is to be com- Justice Hoehling. | mended for its useful as well as pa- triotic work in thus bringing the matter prominently forwaré JUSTICE ADOLPH A.

The actfon of The Evening Star in promoting the project was termed “a distinct service to the Na- tional Capital and the Nation.” Text of Resolution. The resolution, which was intro- duced by Isaac Gans, former presi- dent of the chamber, reads as fol- lows: “The Washington Chamber of Com- merce 1s highly pleased that the Na- tional Oratorical Contest on the Con- stitution, which was so pre-eminently successful last year, is to be repeated with Washington as national head- quarters. In helping to make pos- sible this far-reaching, patriotic and educational project, The Ivening Star is rendering a distinct service to the National Capital and to the Nation. “The Chamber of Commerce takes pleasure In again extending to the contestants and their supporting cohorts a hearty welcome to Wash- ‘ngton.” / Much discussion was started at the meeting by the complaint of sev- eral members that there are a nummber of Baltimore and New York taxi cabs in town to care for inaugural crowds.

An important femture of the articles will be excerpts from some of the finest examples of the arf. Special em- phasis Is placed on the two central ideas of the contest—Dbrevity and effectiveness.) The following examples show vari- ous American orators indulging in in- vectlye, exhortation and prophecy, with logic deftly Interlaced. The first example shows Webster, in the Dorr case, making abstract prin- ciples at once beautiful and simple: “Our American mode of government does not draw any power from tumul- tuous assemblages. If anything ls established In that way, it ls décep- tive. “It {5 said by opposing counsel that the people can get together, call themselves so many thousands, and establish whatever government they please. But others must have ‘that same right. We have then a stormy South American liberty, supported by arms today and crushed by arms to- morrow. Our theory places a beauti- ful face on liberty and makes it pow- erful for good, producing no tumults.” Calhoun, denouncing Jackson in the debate onf the expunging resolution: “No one can possibly be insensible that the measure proposed is a viola- tion of the Constitutfon. The Con- stitution requires the Senate to keep a journal; this resolution goes to ex- punge the journal. If you may ex- punge a part, you may expunge the whole: and it {f 15 expunged, how is it kept? The Constitution says the journal shall be kept; this resolution says it shall be destroyed. “But why do I waste breath? I know it is all utterly vain. The day s gone; night approaches, and night suitable to the dark deed we medi- tate. There is a sort of destiny in this thing. Other violations of the Constitution filled my bosom with in- dignation, but this fills it only with grief. Others were done in the heat of partisanship power, as it were, compelled to support itself by selzing upon new instruments of influence | and patronage. In some instances the President might be pardoned for his course on the old plea of tyrants— the plea of necessity. But here there can be no such apology. Here no necessity can 50 much as be pre- tended. Thls act originates in pure, unmixed personal idolatry. Such an act could never have been consum- mated by a Rome Senate until the time of Caligula and Nero.” Emerson, speaking on the uses of gréat men: “Thus we enter that great gym- nasium of the mind and learn to choose men by thelr truest marks, tdwght with Plato ‘to choose those who cam, without aid from the eyes, 'D. C., THURSDAY or any other sense, proceed to truth and to being.’ Foremost among thos activities are the somersaults, spells and resurrections wrought by the im- agination. “When this wakes, a man seems to multiply ten timés or a thousand times his force. It opens the deli- clous sense of indeterminate size and inspires an audacious mental habit. We are as elastic as the gas of gun- powder, and a sentence or a word sets free opr fancy, and instantly our heads are bathed with galaxies and our feet tread the floor of the pit. “And this benefit s real, for we are entitled to these enlargements, and, once having passed the bounds, shall never again be quite the miserable pendants we were.” Samuel Adams, at Philadelphia: “Go on, then. in your generous en- terprise, with gratitude to Heaven for past success and confidence of it in the future. For my own part, Kk no greater blessing than to share with you the common danger and the common good. If I have a wish dearer to my soul than that my ashes may be mingled with those of Warren and Montgomery, it Is that these American States may never cease to be free and independent.” Grady, at Boston: “Our history has been a constant and expanding miracle from Plymouth Rock and Jamestown all the way— aye, even when from the hour when, upon the voiceless and trackless ocean, a new world rose to the sight of the inspired sallor. As we &p- proach the fourth centennial of that stupendous day, let us resolve to crown the miracles of our past with the spectacle of a republic compact, united, fndissoluble and in the bonds of love—the wounds of war healed in every heart as on every hill—serene and resplendent at the summit of hu- man achievement and earthly glory— blazing out the path and making clear the way up which all the na- tions of the earth must come in God’s appointed time!"
