Slayton of Pittsburg, Pa. on The Constitution of the United States a Cless Document. Fred Holds- worth presided at the meeting and in- troduced the spedker. Mr. Slayton sald in part: I propose tonight to smash what Is n idol to many of you. There have een so many lies and misstatements about ‘the constitution that the aver- age man cannot tell whether it is good or bad. As a boy, one is taught by his teacher that, next to the Bible, tha constitution of the United States is the most Goed-inspired document in ex- istence, and he coines tu believe it. He hates the man who talks against the constitution, It was the rising busi- ness men of the country who made the constitution, not the common people. John Hancock took no great chances in throwing over his name, his honor and his fortune with the colonists against -the king. On the day of the battle of Lexington he was to have been tried for smuggling, and it weuld have been. the king's tower f-r him had he been tried. e had nothing to lose by throwing in his lot witl: the others to ‘get control of this great rich land. So Hancock and the othe.s who took a prominent part in the affairs of the new country were not idols, but men, working for their own interests. These men—the big business men— were not In favor of tearing away from the rule of King George, but when this had been done they began to crawl back, a little at a time, inlo popular favor and into power. With ithe forming of the constitution Aiex- ander Hamilton, the greatest statcs- man of his time, wanted to eiect the! president and senate for life, with the power of appointment of the state governors in the hands of the presi- dent.’ The class of men who had (ne matter in charge agreed with him, but | felt that there was too much democ- {racy. of. feeling at that time for such a step. S0 as the next best thing to keep power from the hands of the. peo- ple they took from them all power of election of the federal officials except a‘sort of second-hand power. Then the supreme court was organizéd, to by appointed by’ the president, who has the powers of a king. 'The vetd was a power .vested in the king of England, continued in our owh gov-| ernment. To show the opinions of the men: whom we have been taught to regard as -idols, I will quote some of their! own words. I do mnot blame them; anyone would have done the same as | they did; they were working for their | own class—for class, ‘government. Hamilton said: “All communities di- vide themselves into the few and' many. The first are the rich and well | born; the other, the mass of the peo- ple, are turbulent and changing; they seldom judge or determine right.” Therefore he advocated a permanent i senate, which would be able to “check the impudence of democracy,” Roger Sherman of Connecticut:"“I oppose the election of members of the natlonal legislature by the people. The people, immediately, should have as little to do as may be about the government.” All hated democracy, and their pur- pose was not to form the ideal gov- ernment, but the government best pro- tecting the business leagues of the country, and that the republican party has been doing ever since. There were about 17 men in the convention which drew up the constitution who held all the power. In many of the states the people had no opportunity to vote on the constitution, but ratify- ing conventions were called, and the men who made the constitution saw that it was ratified in these various conventions. These men were the first. confidence men in ‘the country, and since then the people have had con- fidence and nothing elsé. If the work- ingmen of today were as closs con- scious and as class loyal as were the men who drew up the constitution and secured its adoption, socialism would rule the tountry in no long time. The real heart of the constitution is in the power granted congress. There is no power in the hand- of the people MISS CARUTHERS' POEMS. ag such, directly.

John Marshall set a prece- dent when he decided that the state of Vermont could not take over Dart- mouth college as long as the school did not flagrantly abuse the conditions of its charter. Thus when the capi- talist secures a charter it is his for- ever; it becomes divine. The capital- ist has used this class constitution to carry out his purpose as the wood- chopper uses the axe.

He says that swimming these days is just as good as in the middle of summer. a Baltlmore artist. The book is di- vided into three sections, poems that are grave, light and more humorous, the divisions being indi- cated by illuminated candlesticks. The poems are expressive of a va- riety of sentiments, ‘clothed in grace- fully polished language, the humorous verses often from a quaint viewpoint which adds to their charm.
