ORATION DELIVERED BY MINNIE SADLE Washington Finalist in Na- tional Contest Speaks on Freedom of Speech. | The oration of Minnie Sadle, Wash- | ington finalist in the National Oratory Contest, delivered last night in Consti- | tution Hall, follows: “In order to protect themselves from possible encroachment by the mnewly established Federal Government, the people of the United States guaranteed their fundamental liberties in the first amendment to the Constitution, which reads: ‘Congress shall make no law re- specting an establishment of religion, | or abridging the free exercise thereof; | or prohibit freedom of speech or of the | press, and to make no restrictions re- | garding freedom of assembly and the | right to petition for a redress of | grievances. These various liberties of | religion, of speech, of press, of petition are all different facets of one primary liberty—the liberty of free expression. “We who have arrived here so long after the adoption of the first amend- ment are amazed to find that the first | amendment to the Constitution was the first written guaranty that the people of any nation everhad allowed them to worship God according to_the dictates of their own conscience. When a per- son is deprived of this privilege, he realizes that there is nothing so dear to the human heart as the privilege of belonging to that church and. worship- ing in that manner which each person may so desire. Each one of us believes that the church to which he belongs is better than any other. Imagine the Nation-wide terror and confusion which would result if a law were passed forc-| ing us to attend a state church, whether it be labeled Hebrew, Methodist or Catholic. How would it affect you if a law were to be read to you which said that unless you changed your religious belief you would be burned to death out | on the hillside? You laugh &t this. It is hardly believable. How could such a thing be possible today? “The other items of this article, free- dom of speech and of the press and freedom of petition, are necessary to true liberty and were placed, therefore beyond the interference of Congress. “My fellow countrymen, this guar- antee of freedom of speech and of the press would be meaningless if they were not defined. No society can long exist which ignores the paramount im- portance of the public welfare. In time of peace or war, the right of free speech for the individual must give way to the higher right of the good of the com- munity. “The advantages of free speech are twofold—there is an advantage to the citizen and an advantage to the Gov- ernment. The individual citizen de- | velops into a better participant in the Government than if he is restricted. |To quote Patrick Henry, ‘In pro- | portion to the magnitude of "the | subject ought to be the freedom of the | debate’ There is a tradition in Eng- | land that if a person goes into Hyde Park, London, he may gather a crowd | around him and say anything he | pleases, subject only to the chance that | he may be roughly handled if his hear- | ers do not like his views on the sub- | ject. For this reason, Hyde Park is | sometimes referred to as the ‘safety valve’ of the British government. Any | one who has a grievance, real or | imaginary, can go there and air his | views. Having had his say, without let or hindrance, the speaker feels better | about it. England has its Hyde Park, | but we have something of a more last- | ing quality—the first amendment. | ““So we see, the soul is free. No | power can make one belong to any | church, nor in any way.to hold reli- gious faith. Men may write or speak what they will. Men have the right to | assemble peaceably and at any time or ' | place to talk over their troubles and to | draw up & petition to the Government seeking relief from unjust burdens. In other words, men are free, and this very freedom should make us hold with veneration this great charter of human liberty—the peerless Constitution of the | United States.” CHAPLAIN TO SPEAK Rev. J. 8. Montgomery to Address | Graduates of Seminary. Rev. James Shera Montgomery, chaplain of the House, will address the graduating class of Martha Washing- ton Seminary at commencement exer- cises Tuesday night at the institution, 3640 Sixteenth street.

Today people use fhis same coal to keep the warmth of life in them. | Our Constitution is the stored-up sun- shine of centuries of struggle for the prerogative of liberty in all its forms, and that work is today the life itself of the Nation of the United States of America “Our Constitution was not the product of 1787, nor the immediate creation of those who gave it form and substance at the constitutional convention. Constitution was never the result of a single stroke of genius, it had its roots far back in the past. The framers of this docume:nt were much too wise to draw on their imagination, or to base the government of a nation on theory. Had these men attempted to create a chimerical structure, their work would ve been valueless. Its guarante bear the brand of centuries for their justification and existence. The bril- liance of its framers was shown chiefly in the fact that they disturbed as little {as~ possible the existing _institutions, which were the growth of the ages and which were part of their race inheri- tance. The colonists fought to retain, not to destroy, their rights under the British constijution. The Americans of 1716 were Brilish, and in framing their governmental plan they simply used the law and charter that had always been their own. “There are buildings that soar to the skiez, others remain close to the ground. But none can mount high unless its foundations are entrenched deeply, firmly, into the ground. They can ascend just so far as their foundations allow. Those founders of our governr, ment knew thet, and, mighty builde that they were, when they erected that invincible, that ever-growing building, the United States of America, they made & foundation for it that was enduring, fundamental; that would last as long as the edifice for which it was its base, would suffice no matter how | the building expanded, how high it rose. “For this foundation, its builders gleaned facts from all history, from the motherland and from the State con- stitutions. The State constitutions, in turn, had been derived from the early trading charters, such as that of the East India Co. “Our idea of a Senate we got from the Romans, from the Hebrew San- hedrin of Biblical times. That was one of the first bricks in its foundation. From England these draftsmen bor- rowed more material. Using the les- sons taught by, and the ideals of the Magna Charta, the petition of right, the habeas corpus, the bill of rights, and many others, they glued the stones comprising the foundation yet more strongly together, entrenched it even more deeply into the soil of personal liberty. The idea of a law so funda- mental as to limit even the power of the ruler runs far back into the story of early England. “Bricks and mortar of more recent origin were furnished from the original State constitutions. From Maryland was brought the idea of a small Senate, with a long term of service, and the idea of the electoral college. From the constitution of New York comes the periodic readjustment of the repre- sentation after the census, and the Vice President'’s duty to preside over the Senate, and to vote only in case of a tle. The constitution of Massa- setts contributed the duties of the two houses with respect to impeachments k) and the power of the Executive veto. Some provisions, important in the com- 3 position of this puissant foundation, such as the judiciary system, the short term of the Lower House, and the single executive, were common to nearly all the States. “The first of the materials that made up the foundation of the United States of America that was molded from American sofl and dried under the sun that shines on America was the May- flower compact in 1619, when a hand- ful of men and women banded together in a heroic and fruitful attempt to al- lay themselves against the unknown. That small band established themselves as firmly, as peaceably as possible in this new land, but a quarter of a cen- tury later they were forced to form the New England confederation, uniting against the brutal savagery and war- fare of King Philip and his red war- riors. In the year 1754 Benjamin Franklin authored the Albany plan, which was the first time in the history. that all of the English Colonists worked together in an organized union against its common foe. Little more than & decade ,later occurred the stamp act, against an act so tyrannical and unjust The | Many Sources and Ages. | as never before had been duplicated in | | the history of the New World. The | Committees of Correspondence were or- | ganized in 1770. The first Continental | Congress was held five years later. In | the immortal year of the signing of the | Declaration of Independence occurred the second Continental Congress. At the close of the Revolutionary War in ‘1131, a trial government under the Ar- ticles of Confederation began. All these events were but layers of bricks in the building of the Constitution culmi- ‘nat\nz in the three constitutional con- | ventions beginning in 1785 and ending | at Philadelphia in 1787, when the docu- ment that was to make a nation was | conceived. “A glorious foundation for & glorious structure was built! The people, jubi- lant, exclaimed, ‘The like of this has never been seen before!" They were not altogether wrong, but they were not correct. While it was true that a foun- dation as fitting for an institution like the United States of America had never been seen before, that no other base of 's government before this had ever held up a structure, as our Con- stitution did, of a federal government that was without precedent in the his- tory of the world, still the bricks that made of this foundation, the morta that held it together, were precious m erials garnered from all over the worl rom every age! They were not made for the first time that memorable year. | Each brick in the foundation was taken ‘!mm other foundations of institutions guaranteeing liberty and happiness to those people. | “What were the rights that our Con- stitution sought to safeguard? What were the weapons that it pravided to in- sure our people against despots, tyrants and autocrats? What were the rights | that our Constitution declared to be | ipalienable, and stripped Legislatures nd courts for generations afterward of the power to repeal or modify? Were | they merely the problems of a peg) i'.hlt lived in the twilight of tNe efght- eenth century, or were these problems | that have always existed from the dawn of history? The provisions in our Con- stitution tI guarantee to every citizen a right to a trial by jury, the right to freedom of assembly, for petition of grievances, for the right of religious liberty, of freedom of expression, are guarantees that are found in other documents long before the constitutional convention was conceived. The pro- visions in our Constitution that divide Lour_Government into the executive, the Hegislative and the judicial branches, each acting as a check upon the other, which guarantees against the abuses of power in any one department of the Government, were not the inventiong or creations of the framers of our n- stitution, but go clear back to the Magna Charta in 1215, pack to the codes of European states, to the ancient days of Rome, and still farther removed to the first organized governments. “The rights that our Constitution de- clared to be inalienable were rights for which Copernicus and Bruno were burned at the stake: rights for which the champions of liberty of every age fought and sought and vindicate. And | hence the framers of our Constitution said that no Legislature or court of law or police officer should ever take the right of religious liberty, or freedom of speech, trial by jury, away from our citizens. “Never before had any people wrought so great a political revolution without wioodshed. From a loosely bound con- ieaeracy that lacked the power of gov- drning, the people, deliberately, thought- fully, without drawing a sword, with no pressure from without, banded together and founded a nation and based it on a firm and abiding foundation. That stitution, drawn up in 1787 by 55 ates, signed by 39, has been i forge for almost a century and a half, and as we look back on that period of time we see that that document has not diminished in power, has not grown |out of date. Dynasties, kingdoms, em- pires have fallen and crumbled to pieces. | The United States is growing ever more powerful, rising toward the skies, secure in the foundation that is the life of our Nation—the Constitution!” PONY SHOW JUNE 11 ‘Loudnun Junior Hunt Club to Hold | Second Annual Event.

The only orator on the program to address himself to the man Whose Bicentennial now is in full swing, Scanlon reviewed the first Presi- dent’s life as a Chief Executive of an infant Nation in his speech, “Washing- ton and the Constitution.” He stressed Washington's strict adherence to neu- trality in internationalism. The fact the United States has been “compara- tively free” from foreign wars, he said, wes traceable to Washington's pro- nouncement. The timekeeper's whistle, however, caught Scanlon near the end of his speech Miss Goldsmith delivered her na- tional championship-winning speech next. A striking figure of white slender- ness, capped by a head of softly waved blonde hair, Miss Goldsmith spoke, deep voiced, on “Our Constitution, Culmination of Centuries.” She found the Constitution the offspring of an- cient governmental instruments, not- ably tables of Hebrew rule. ¥ | New York's Miss Herzsteln was the final orator to deliver a prepared ad- dress. Wearing a pink lace dress, Miss Herzstein impressed her audience with her sincerity as she spoke on “The Supreme Court and the Constitution.” | In reviewing the court’s existence, the New York orator paid tribute to John Marshall, who, she said, “found it (the court) fallible, and left it strong,” and to Oliver Wendell Holmes, who, she | said, 100 years later carried on Mar- shall’s work. | Given Extemporaneous Topics. As each of the contestants finished his initial oration he was handed a slip of paper bearing a new topic, with which he retired, alone, to a closed room to study. Following a brief musical | interlude, Miss Sadle returned to deliver the first of a series of four-minute ex- | temporaneous addresses. | “The First Amendment During the Civil War” was the topic of Miss Sadle’s new speech.
