BUTSCH STRESSES U. 5. ADVANTAGES Firm Foundation Made Pos- sible by Constitution Held Factor in Growth. ‘The speech delivered by James Leon- | ard Butsch, St. John's College boy who represented The Evening Star’s area in the Sixth National Oratorical Contest finals in the Washington Au- ditorium last night, follows: “The United States, a great Repub- lic, land of freedom and opportunity. . reaching from the roeky shores of the Atlantic to the sunswept sands of the Paeific! Refuge of miilions of foreign born, leaving their native countries be- | hind, leaving their homes and friends to come to this. a new and strange | land, to be adopted as its citizens. “What is your appeal? For that rea- son in our country the greatest of them all. It cannot be our weaith. We were | not founded upon wealth alone. Our’ forefathers braved the cold and bleak | New England shore, suffering hardship and poverty to make possible your birth. Prosperity is not the incentive that brings these people here, nor the reason for the success of the Nation.| There must be some greater influence which has caused our country in spite of eivil strife still to remain & great Tepublic. This is & cause, and it is that greatest document in ‘he history of time—the Constitution of the United States. Cites Advantages Offered. “Wherein is the strength of our Con- stitution> The answer has grown | hackneyed. Its strength lles in the | happy combination of respect for au- thority with training in individual initiative. “In America all men are civilly and politically equal, all have the same rights, all wield the same arm of de- fense and of conquest—the Constitu- tion. It takes from the liberty of the individual only so much as is necessary for the weal of the Nation. It gives to him inalienable rights which are his protection. It guarantees to him the t to liberty. This means the very right to life itself which cannot be taken even by the Government without due process of law. It insures for him legal rights which enable him to appear in the courts for his protection, regard- less of his laek of wealth or position. The Constitution gives to the individual freedom of conscience to enjoy liberty of religion, of speech and press, that great power which has drawn millions to this ‘Temple of Freedom'—the Unit- | ed States. “The Constitution forms the mind and temper of its people. It trains them to habits of obedience. It strengthens their conservative instincts, * their sense of stability and nce in political arrangements. It makes them feel that to comprehend this su- preme instrument of government is & personal duty. It familiarizes them with and attaches them, by ties of pride and reverence, to those fundamental | truths upon which the Constitution is based. Public Opinion Governs. “These are enormous services to ren- | der to the le of any free country, but above all, to a country which, more than any other, is governed. not by men of rank and wi but by public opinion, that is to say, by the ideas and dictates of the people at large. In no country are political changes so keenly watched, because nowhere has ‘material growth been so rapid and im- migration so enormous. In none might the political character of the people seem more lkely to be bold and prone to changes, because their national ex- istence began with a revolution which a::nownuonly-cmmrymshm ind. “The Constitution of the United States has been amended and changed. The world is not so much advanced that in this age of laws, even the best and most venerable laws, will of them- selves command obedience. Constitu- tions which in quiet times change peacefully and gradually must in time of revolution be changed bodily, some provisions being sacrificed for the sake of others, as the mariner throws part of the cargo overboard in a storm to save the ship itself. The 1 stitution was not received by all the people of the United States as a mas- terplece of statecraft. It met with ob- Jection in several States and was even burned by the howling mobs of Boston. Pearing it was written solely to rob them of their liberties, the people did not aceept it until they understood its real meaning. They did not accept it until they comprehended its main ob- Ject, which was to insure to the Ameri- can individual and to any other indi- vidual who might seek protection and prosperity under the American flag, the liberties and opportunities which any free born person has the right to de- mand. Foundation Declared Firm. “There may be nations which have great governments; there may be na- tions which claim prosperity—but there is no nation that can boast of such a foundation of government as that of the United States of America. Our Constitution has rendered and renders now invaluable services to the individ- uals; it sums up the best in laws and customs and has stood the test of a eivil war, from which it emerged with greater significance. In that crisis it wved to be the supreme law, the mdlmenul principle of our national existence. %, “The God-given mission of the Re-l public of the United States is not con- | fined to its own individuals alone—it extends to all the peoples of the earth to whom the United States is a symbol of human rights and liberties and to- ward whom its flag flutters hopes of future happiness. The United States is honored and respected in every country as the greatest Nation in the world. It will continue so to endure as long as you and I. its citizens, obey and respect its Constitution. The hap- ness and welfare and prosperity of e American. individual can be ascribed | enly to that ‘famous document of 1789'| —the Constitution of the United | ed States.” LAWYER IS RELEASED PENDING DEATH TRIAL Texan Wins Freedom on $20,000, Bail—Will Plead Self- Defense.

Ben Swofford's national championship | winning speech, delivered last night in the Sixth National Oratorical Contest finals in the Washington Auditorium. follows Thomas Carlyle has said, “Uni- versal history. the history of what man has accomplished in this world. is at bottom the history of the great men who worked here.” The names of many of these men are em- blazoned for all the ages in letters of living light; the names of other men, whose deeds and influence sur- vive, lie buried in the dust of time; but known or unknown, heralded in song and story or long forgotten, these world leaders are those who guided their fellow men along the difficult path of human progress. “The applause of list'ning senates to command, ‘The threats of pain and ruin to de- spise, To scatter plenty o'er a smiling land, And read their tion's eyes.” Representative of Times. Open the record book of American life. Turn the musty pages of the past; watch the moving finger write the story of the present, and ‘we read of events and the names of men who make events—men who create history, not alone by the power within themselves, but because they are truly representative of their times and of their fellows. Men who furnish us the inspiration to labor and achieve, Destroy this inspira- tion and the world lies soulless and dead at our feet. ‘The history of this beloved coun- try of ours, like that of every nation in the world, is the record of her great leaders. The greater the crisis, the more vital the condition, the more certain it is that the very soul of our people will find its expres- sion in her great statesmen. The most eritical period of Ameri- can history followed the end of the Revolutionary War. Vietory had been won and liberty secured. but all the hopes of the War for Inde- pendence. were threatened with de- struction by a period of disunion and internal strife. ‘The 13 Colonies, founded at vari- ous times and operating under dif- ferent forms of Colonial govern- ments, were also separated by vital social and etonomic differences. The new-born national spirit, mutured by the Revolution, had swiftly changed to a feeling of hatred and jealousy, fostered by the absolute inability of the machinery of the Articles of Confederation to establish a strong national government. Disregard for commercial reguia- tions, threats of rebellion, inability to meet financial obligations and fear of total disunion became s0 threatening that even those most hopeful of national success saw the dnnqer of the Xm?endh‘ crisis. The whole country looked toward the delegates to the Constitutional Con- vention to afford the only means of egress from this disastrous situation. Frame New Government. During the Summer months of 1787 the representatives of the States met ‘for the primary purpose of bringing_some order out of this chaos. But upon assembling, thev discovered that mere amendment to the articles would not suffice. Ap- palled by the seriousness of the situ- ation eonfronting them, but guided by a power stronger than their own wills or desires, they cast aside the original purpose of the convention and proceeded to frame an entirely new government. checks and balances. establishing a medium of democratic control shared by the people. the States and the Federal_institutions. Yet these men, whose biographies form the enduring foundations of our history, did not create this type of government. It was the growth of many centuries. They were mere- ly the living expression of that spirit which gave the Greeks their ancient democracy, the Romans their free- dom and the English their Magna Charta. They were the link be- tween the old and the new and were therefore able to forge the 13 dis- jointed and struggling colonies into a unified and cohesive nation, a world power, the United States of America. Todey, this great Nation, after less than 150 years of existence. is Jjust on the threshold of national life. Upon the basic law of our Constitu- tion a unified nation has been weld- ed, over a vast territory, encompass- ing in its embrace the children of all nd older peoples. w el ed with many serious probiems: problems of obedience and regard for the law, of honesty in public office. of greater opportunities for all our people, and of the allevia- tion of poverty and human sufferin; To aid us in the solution of today's problems, we need the glorious in- spiration of those men of yesterday. And that inspiration we have. For, in the words of Edmund Burke, “Civilization is a contract between three parties; the noble dead, the living and the yet " The spirits of those long-dead heroes are with us now: transmitting to our people and statesmen of today that love of country, singleness of pur- pose, stoutness of heart, and spirit of personal sacrifice and devotion which enabled them to build for themselves an everlasting monument to bequeath to us a glorious heritage, and to fix a bright eternal star in the firmament of political history— the Constitution of the United States.

JLLNESS STRIKES * HOUSE NEMBERS Sick List, With Several Recuperating. | | By the Assaciated Press. Eight members of the House of Rep- resentatives are on the sick list and several are recuperating from iliness. Representative Griest is seriously il at his home in Lancaster, Pa. He was administered the oath of office at his home through permission of the House, Representative McClinic of Oklahoma is at Rochester, Minn., where he re- cently underwent an operation. Al- though his condition was reported seri- ous, his office here has received en- couraging reports from the hospital. Chairman Woed Il Three Weeks. Chairman Wood of the House appro- | priations committee, whose home is at Lafayeite, Ind, has been confined to his home here for about three weeks, but his friends have taken him for a cruise aboard a yacht in Chesapeake | Bay and it is expected that the change | will improve his condition. Representative Curry of Sacramento, Calif., underwent an operation early in the Spring and has been confined to his apartment here for several weeks. His physician recently announced that his condition was improving satisfactorily. Representative Taylor, of Glenwood gs. Colo., has been receiving hos- | pital treatment for several weeks as the result of a cold. His secretary sald | Mr. Taylor would make an effort to be present to vote on the tariff bill in | the House Tuesday. Kvale Fights Off Poison. Representative Kvale of Benson, | Minn., has been threatened with blood | poisoning as a result of a scratch re- ceived while being shaved. At the Naval Hospital it was feared for a time that the condition would threaten his life, but the infection was echecked.

Cutting’'s Bill Would Create Ros- well, N. M., District. A bill to create the Roswell land dis- trict and to establish a land office at Roswell, N. Mex, in the center of & large area of newly discovered ofl land, was introduced yesterday by Senator Cutting, Republican, of New Mexico. The land proposed to be embraced in the new district is mostly in the public domain and administration of President Hoover’s new policy of ofl conservation would be carried on in the new office. Did these men who had arisen from the people, who had been trained in the school of bitter ex- perience and who had inherited that old Anglo-Saxon idea human rights give up the task as hopeless? Did they betray this trust placed in them by the people? No! Here were stern and serious New Englanders, gay and romantic cavaliers of Mary- land, rich planters of Virginia, poor lawyers of Massachusetts; farmers, statesmen, business men and poli- ticlans; Catholics and Protestants, and future States’ rights men and Federalists. Despite these differences an underlying bond existed binding them together in a common purpose. This bond was a dominant belief in the eternal ideal of justice and the rights of the individual. With al- most._supernatural vision of the fu- ture they saw the necessity of mak- ing this bond effective in a govern- ment truly representative of the g:o?k and in a strong union of the ates Call the roll of the convention! James Madison, Virginia lawyer, ‘who came to the conventicn with a draft of government in his pocket: quiet and unassuming genius, who has been called “the father of the Constitution.” Alexander Hamilton, profound and original thinker; then 30 years of age and already a successful New York lawyer. who was to accept the first Treasury portfolio and in the brief span of two years lift the bank- rupt Colonies to a place of inter- natiopal credit. Benjamin Franklin, wisest man of his time; ripe in age and experience; diplomat, inventor and philosopher. George Washington, whose name was revered wherever it was spoken; the soldier and statesman; most im- pressive and romantic figure in American history, in whose heart burned that immortal genius for leadership. James Wilson, Gouverneur Morris, Charles Pinckney, John Randolph and others who by their patriotism and devotion constituted so im- portant an element of strength that leaders in other lands, surveying this group, declared that these ragged and war-torn colonies had produced (he greatest numbcr of statesmen of the first rank that was ever produced in one country in one generation.

This first speaker chose not to ges- ticulate, but saw fit rather to stake her chances for victory upon a volce tensity and voeal expression that\ commanded attention. Miss Fletcher developed her theme of personal liberty Jargely upon the emancipation of the slaves during | the Civil War period, and ay. her con- | clusion she bowed gracefully as she left | her contentions in the Iap of her audi- ence and her judges. Applause Greets Butsch. ‘The announcement of the name of James L. Butsch, Washington's own en- try, was the signal for a wild burst of applause that interrupted the introduc- tion that Mr. Leigh later completed. Once upon his feet, Butsch was a mas- ter of poise and manly bearing. His voice boomed out across the audVence to carry the orator's message to everyt, cerner of the hall. Butsch's oratory last night was ex- pressive without recourse to excessive gesture; determined afd commanding without trace of bombastics, and sin- cere without studied dramatic effect. He neglected no section in his audience, but, by facing first to one side and then to the other, included every one in his address. Prolonged applause, which threatened to delay the contest, greeted the Wash- ington orator. In a few minutes, how- ever, Mr. Leigh gained sufficient silence to present Lee Miller as the third speaker. Miller was dramatic in voice and in expression, but he, like the speakers | preceding him, avoided gesture. There was little of the 17-year-old boy in the Chicago orator, while there seemed much of the trained adult speaker. He held his audience tense throughout his time on the stage and bowed to give way | for the next speaker. Miss Marshall Is Fourth. | , Miss Marshall, the girl who made a | | fiying trip across the continent to reach | Washington only this evening, was the fourth orator to face the audience. Parading the unsavory allegations that the United States is fast becoming a lawless nation, Miss Marshall pre- sented these charges as a challenge to Americans to revive and abide by tra- ditional principles of the Constitution. She forecast a “golden day” when the United States would head the world in & union of peace, and bowed her eon- clusion amidst vociferous acclaim. The oratorical tenseness was broken following Miss Marshall's conclusion by an orchestra selection. The music per- mitted the rapt audience to relax and after the brief respite the contest con- tinued. Ben,K Swofford was the fifth orator to take the stage. Somet! of military bearing characterized the young Missourian’s initial stance, but as he got into his speech he relaxed into an easy manner typical of the veteran ator. Speaking upon the writing of the Constitution, Swofford reviewed the conditions m the colonies which gave forth to the new Government in 1787 920_PART 1. of the Constitution’s framers and laid at their feet the glory which today is | America’s. The urian's oratory was similar in type to the examples which preceded his. and his conclusion came near the end of his allowed 10 minutes. Finch Uses Gestures. | After three attempts to break in upon isvoflord‘l effort, Mr. Leigh introduced | Howard Finch as the sixth orator. | __Pinch, like Miss Marshall, proved a | rapid speaker. He chose gestures to add emphasis to his speech and used them plentifully. But if his arms, rals ing and sweeping before him, punctuat- | ed nearly every phrase, Finch's gestures | were graceful and actually a part of his | forensic_being. The Battle Creek boy presented a mass of history in his 10 minutes of | speech. He characterized nearly every event which plotted the way of Amer- ican development as in some measure an | fllustration of the embodiment of the Constitution. His speech ended with A religious note that brought reverential | silence before applause approved his | contentions just as the 10-minute whis- | tie of the timekeeper sounded. But if the expiration of time nearly brought Finch to a premature halt, it | served to bring him additional tribute | in applause. Miss Corey followed Finch {to the center of the stage, and the | audtence visibly swayed forward with | the first sound of her low-pitched con- | tralto voice. Miss Corey was poise it- | self and, with her timely subject, the audience sat expectant as though con- | vinced that a “placer” was on the stage. | Girl Touches on Prohibition. ‘The diminutive girl gripped her audi- ence more tightly when she struck out into a consideration of prohibition. ‘When she cracked her forensic whip over the heads of “some of our legis- lators, who, sworn to uphold the law, | are among its most flagrant violators,” a murmured wave of both approval and opposition swept the audience. When she declared that these same law vio- lators were particularly numerous in “our National Capitol” a burst of ap- plause shattered the restraint which thad held her listeners. | "The girl brought further expression |from her audience when she charged 'the Federal Government with violation of the present policy in South America. upon the stage, acclaiming applause followed her while a hum of comment inspired by her oratory and its conten- ions set up over the audience. ‘Thibault Speaks Skilfully. “Wilbur _Thibault—rich-voiced and mamnly—entered the contest.with oratory which maintained the unusual stand- ards\ which characterized the whole pro- gram. Comparing the Constitution to a ship, Thibault accomplished a pur- pose aften attempted. but rarely accom- plished, with the skill which marked his efforts. Drama with earnestness marked his bid for victory as the contest ended. Laist Year's Winner Speaks. While the judges wrote down their ballots, James R. Moore, Somerset, Ky., boy who 'was last year's champion, took the stage’ of reminisce. Recalling his successful participation a year ago to- night, yourig Moore paid feeling tribute to his parents, who, he said, had sat in the audience at every contest in which he participated. He found “'something queer” in their absence last night, and asked his hear- ers’ indulgena> while he said “hello” to them as they ‘listened in over the radio. He expressed .his own appreciation to the contest for the pleasures and bene- fits he enjoyed in it. Today, the champion chosen, the smoke of foremsic opposition is fading and the eight young orators who came to Washington tirained to oppose one another, are entering upon their new status of traveling companions. Each of the five boys and three girls on last night’s program will sail from Jackson- rather than to the reconstruction of the old.
