Evening By Bide Dudley Bvent Worl@) Qeperight, 1983 ee Tee Oe OTHER, I'm tired of roam- ing in this land. You, lit- tle mother, may net un- derstand. | realize | am less then two score, but | knew this big old world to the core. I've seen the good things; thelr num- ber was small. I've seen the bad ones—yes, I've seen them all. There is but one resting place | @er knew, It is with you, mother; it is with you. \'ve seen the pleasures of whioh people sing. They are to me like m plated gold ring. I've had real money and I've spent it free, but it brought nothing of value to me. And of society I've had my share, Of all but Vanity I've found it bare. There is but one resting place ‘neath the blue. It te with you, mother; it is with you. Mother, I'm tired; please sing | RAB eong. I'll close my eyes as ‘your voice floats along. I'll dream of days when | knelt at “Syour knee; when, on your breast, from all-care | was free. Kise me ence, mother, the old-fashioned way. Bid me seek sleep at the slose of the day. There’s but one resting place, mother, so true. It le'with you, mother; it is with you. x OBSERVATIONS. It isn't probable that the hammer slayer is driving a car.

Having reached Hollywood, Mary Dingle strolled about the “town, deeply interested in what nhe saw. “I wonder,” she sald to her maid, Abba Dabba, “when the devilment will begin!” Abba Dabba was a Chinese girl. She loved her mistress very much, and was greatly put out when men smiled at her. “Ah sho’ doan' know, Missy,” the maid replied Weil, of course, this was dis. concerting to Mary. Ever since ashe was seventeen years old she had read of Hollywood. How- ever, she was sure she had come ') the right place, and she gripped her automatic tightly. “Why do you say that, Abbat” In this manner the telephone operator asked her maid why she sald it. “Ol couldn't be tellin’ youse,” replied Abba. Mary decided she would have no more of that. Taking Abba by the ear, she tweaked it. “This is confusing,” she said. _ A tall, dark man, with bis hair parted in the middle, stepped up. “I presume you are Mary - Dingle,” he said, after removing a chew of tobacco from bis - mouth. “Oui, monsieur,” replied Abba, the Chinese maid. “Went to cut up’ some?” Mary was abashed. Who could this scoundrel be? True, she bad promised herself to go to the devil, but not in Hollywood. “Oh, you go slap a pineapple,” she replied Abba Dabba was heart-broken. Tt all seemed so absurd.

The other day he met John Barrymore, the newest Hamlet. * “Where are you keeping your- felt?” asked Jobn. Brandov.

At the time It was adopted there were thirteen States in the Union and the furthest west State was Pennsylvania. Modern commonplace were undreamed of. “The original Constitution was #0 unsatisfactory that In all but two or “hree States the Legislatures split over adopting it. Some States almost re- tected it. Rhode Island, fer instance, vatified It by a vote of % w 82, New York by a vote of 80 @ 28, New Hampshire by a vote of 07 to 46, and Massachusetts by @ voie of 167 iv 168. The trouble with the original Consti- tution was that It engaged solely with setting up the machinery of Govern- ment and providing how it should be run, while it practically ignored what should be the sole concern of Govern- ment—the rights, privileges and ad- vaneement of the people. “The Legislatures of somo of the States ratified only upon being as- sured that amendments would be adopted by the first Congress giving the people the rights that had been ignored by the original framers. The first Congress made good and sub- mitted ten amendments which were later regularly adopted by the States. These amendments established free- dom of worship; of the press and of speech; the right of trial by jury; protection of property against search except by warrant, and all the other human features that could be thought out by the patriots of that period. Recently there have been determined efforts to override the right of free- dom of worship, the press and spcech, the provision protecting property against weatch without warrant ta ig nored and the right of trial by jury has actually been taken away in some sections of the country. “The Eleventh and Twelfth Amend- ments were passed in 1798 and 1803 and the Constitution stood without amendment until 1865, when slavery was abolished. Then came the Four- teenth Amendment, and in 1870 the Fifteenth Amendment, guaranteeing the right to vote irrespective of color, which has been, and ts, utterly tg- nored in tho Southern States. In 1913 amendments establishing the income tax and the election of Senators by direct vote were adopted, and in 1920 we embraced Prohibition and Woman Suffrage. “Under the Constitution the rights of the people are net fully protected, even with the amendment designed to safeguard such rights. For instance, the Legislature of the State of Nevada, which could hold a Joint ees- sion in @ taxloab, hed just es much to do with putting Prohibition in ef- fect in this State as the New York Legislature. The provisions of the original Constitution, which ratifies amendments by a two-thirds vote of the Legislatures of the States, puts the balance of power in territory oc- cupied largely by animals and insects. Governmental regulation ie vested largely in the States instead of in the people of the States, The Constitu- tion was adopted in the days of candle light, stage coaches, quill pens and wooden false teeth. It is up to the people to say whether they will eleo- trio light and eteam heat it.”’ conveniences “'T see,"’ said the pilot, ‘that Brook- lyn has taken steps to boost herself into the position of the biggest city tn the country." "Yes," sald the observer. “We thought Brooklyn was a part of New York and we find that New York ts only a part of Brooklyn.” don't want to play Hamlet any more.
