repeat that the adoption of the ! 5th
amendment 10 the Constitution COM
pletes the greatest civil change and
constitutes the most important event
that has ever occurred since the nation
came into life. The change will be
beneficial in proportion to the heed
that is given to the urgent recommend
ations of Washington. If these recon-
mendations were important then, with
population of put few millions, how
much more important are they now with
population OF 40, 900 900 and increas-
inS in rapid ratio. 1t would therefore
call upon Congress TO take all the
means within their constitutional pow
er to promote and encourage popular
education throughout the coun try, and
upon the people everywhere to see to
1t that all who possess and exercise
political rights shall have an opportu-
nifty to acquire that knowledge which
will make their share in the government
blessing and not danger. BY such
means only can the benefits contem-
plated by this amendment to the Con-
stitution be secured.
