Who will not say "Amen," to the sen timent so admirably expressed by Senator Hawley In an address at a flag raising at Trinity College, recently:
 Iailirm that ours s the best form of government and the best government the world has known. The able~t men of the old world praise the Constitution as the noblest work of the human intel leCt. Az time passes and 1t k tested in foreseen and unforeseen emergencies, the wonder grows that the fathers did so marvel, usly provide for all necessities and dangers. While we have an iron rule, wsyet have full play for !rgiti- mate freedom. In the beginning it was not doubted by foreign cities that a dem- OCratiC form of government would be accompanied by violent tumuts, diSsen. siOns, iluCtuNtiOns, and rtCOnstruCtiOns. Yet we have had lrss of all this than any other gOvernm' ut of a civilized na- ton. Even Great Britaiu, justly proud of her wisdom, power, and cOnservatism, has within century largely reconstruct ed her legislation.
 It Is we'll at such patriotic time as thls to look on the bright side of things. As American citizens we have reason to be proud of our great republic, which as Senator Hawley says, "Has the best form of government the world has ever known"
