CRAFTSMANSHIP.

The motto OF Statesman IL, "Let equal
and exact just ice be done TO oil men,"
One Of the prime objects of the constitution
is 10 establish justice. No Statesman
would hold an Office under constitution
which demands the violation OF this law
that is, a constitution that plainly and di-
rectly demands the execution OF injustice.
The constitution OF the United States was
formed in the early and dark age OF the
Republic. The notions Of justice between
man and his fellow man were in crude
state. Mems rights were sdjudged by the
color Of his skin. The red man and the
black mans rights were but dimly recog-
nized. Chief Justice Taney said The negro
had no constitutional rights which white
man was bound 10 respect. He was a
chattel. His constitutional rights were
very much like the rights Of the horse and
the ox-to be worked, bought and sold.
His sacred and civil rights were left ont
of the count. Tho slave master gained
three-iftls OF a vote for each negro he
called his own. The Indian had no part
nor lot in the provisions Of the constitu-
tion. The constitution did not notice the
red man even 80 much as 10 say, "Lo, the
poor Indian" Neither were women's
rights noted. She was decided a part and
parcel Of her husband whose dinner she
cooked and whose linen she washed. In
those dark days of the republic, Statesmen
were young, just beginning to learn the
first lessons of Statesmanship, They had
not looked so deeply into the science OF
politics as Robert Burns, the Scotch poet, f,
who said that man whether 10 the cabin or
manor born, was man for a. that, would
say. For ~ that il did not occur to the
irauers OF the constitution that 1--WE, The
people" WAS term that included women.
Those unHedged Statesmen who were just
learning the alphabet Of liberty and the
righiH OF man hud not fully nnderaiood
the full import OF the Creators words
when lie said, "Let us make man
in our avn image and likeress, male and
female" Jusi IN II ciiizenship p aud conslI-
