Gregory Copyright, 1918, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Kvening World.) | ‘HE Constitution of the United States of America is the most important and the most powerful document in the world This statement would have been true four years ago; it is doubly, trebly true to-day. ‘The Constitution of the United States fs the “Supreme Law” over a territory that is the most extensive and the most favored that has ever been under a single Government since history began. It is the symbol of a Power which could crush the empire of| the Caesars—provided that empire existed to-day—as easily as a sledge- | hammer could crush an egg shell. | It is the token of the mightiest people that history knows anything ebout—a people whose future is destined to make the careers of other Peoples look tame and commonplace. And yet our forefathers ratified the wonderful document with a tardi- ness and reluctance that were amazin; Many of the leading men in the Colonies—Sam Adams of Massachu- fetts and Patrick Henry of Virginia; Luther Martin of Maryland and Thomas Sumter of South Carolina; Melancthon Smith of New York and James Iredell of North Carolina—were bitterly opposed to the proposed | Constitution and fought it tooth and nail to the last ditch. In deep chagrin, and almost broken-hearted, thousands of the greatest spirits in the Colonies accepted the new deal only because they had to do so. In the light of current events it may be interesting to give, in chrono- logical order, the dates of the ratification of the Constitution by the “Old | Thirteen” States, together with the vote in each State, from which it will be seen that the business came very near falling down in more than one | instance: | Delaware, Dec. 6, 1787—Ratification unanimous, Pennsylvania, Dec. 12, 1787—For ratification, 46; against, 23. New Jersey, Dec. 18, 1787—Ratification unanimous. Georgia, Jan. 2, 1788—Ratification unan{mous. Connecticut, Jan. 9, 1788—For ratification, 128; against, 40. Massachusetts, Feb, 7, 1788—For ratification, 187; against, 168. Maryland, April 28, 1788—For ratification, 63; against, 11. South Carolina, May 23, 1788—For ratification, 149; against, 73. New Hampshire, June 21, 1788—Kor ratification, 57; against, 46, Virginia, June 25, 1788—For ratification, 89; against, 79. New York, July 26, 1788—For ratification, 30; against, 27. North Carolina, Nov. 21, 1789—For ratification, 193; against, 75. Rhode Island, May 29, 1790—For ratification, 34; against, 32. Observe the tremendous opposition in the important States of Massa- ebusetts, Virginia and New York; also the very narrow margins by which the Constitution pulled through in those great Commonwealths, North Carolina took its first vote in 1788, the convention rejecting the Constitution by a vote of 188 to 88. Rhode Island, in the same year, put the question of the adoption of the Constitution to a direct vote of the people and the proposition was overwhelmingly defeated. But for Hamilton in New York and Madison in Virginia, {t ts almost certain that those great States would have refused to ratify. The feeling in Massachusetts against the Constitution was bitter in the extreme and for a long time it looked as though the old “Bay State” was going to remain permanently out of the Union. And why such deep and persistent opposition to the proposed Union? The answer is as clear as day. They were afraid that the Central Gov- ernment might prove to be an octopus to strangle the liberties of the in- dividual States and peoples. The fear was a noble one, but in the light of €D!!~You'D BETTER CALL A TAXI OR Y we'll NEVER MAKE TH FIVE \\\ a TEXI2 - SAY, SKOODUNK the sequel it appears to have been as ground!. as it was worthy, WHO IS you TRYIN’ T KID 2- : FF DIS 18 COHEN'S etre PJeWweLRy SHOP ~ SEVEN = NINE HUNDREO * NOW T CAN'T EVEN GET CENTRAL * AWRIGHT !— GOSH!
