Silent Great Men,

The list Of silent great men is q long
one. Especially Is this true of noted
warriors. Wallenstein, Wellington, Won
Moltke, Grant. Marlborough, Charlie
magne, Hannibal, Caesar, all gave their
orders in as few words as possible and
demanded like brevity from their sub.
ordinates. 1t is said that Marlborough
never allowed more than a minute for
a verbal report, and it is told of Won
Moltke that when an aid-de- camp
brought written message that France
had declared war the great general
simply ordered it filed in the Second
pigeonhole on the right, first tier" In
that plgeonhole were complete plans
for the successful campaign that fol-

the adoption of the constitution has
arisen at various times and in different
ways and has led TO much discussion
and is still involved in much uncer-
tainty. The last time that a decision
was rendered by the United States
senate it was reached by a vote of 81
senators in the affirmative and 50 sen
ators in the negative.
This question, if it is to be deter
mined, requires Il consideration of the
provisions of the constitution of the
United States as well as those of the
constitution of Pennsylvania. The gov
II of the commonwealth is required
by his official oath to give heed to both
of them. Section 3 of article l of the
constitution of the United States pro
vidcs the senate of the United States
shall be composed of two senators
from each state, chosen by the lcgis-
lature thereof for six years The same
section further provides that if AGA
cies happen by resignation or other
wise during the recess of the legisla-
ture of any state the executive thereof
may make the temporary appoint
ments until the next meeting of the
legislature. which shall then fill such
vacancy"
Governor Pennypacker then discuss
es the PROVISIONS of the Pennsylvania
constitution on the subject and con
cludes rs follows:
Il take the responsibility of declin.
