stricted to t'freeholders'' G. e., to those persons having absolute title to land). John Dickinson, of Delaware, support ing Hamilton, said that freeholders were "the best guardians of liberty" CD He approved of thus restricting the suffrage, "as a necessary defense against the dangerous influence of the multitude"
 James Madison declared, "in future times a great majority of the people will not only be without landed prop erty, but without. any sort of prop erty if they combine, the rights of property will not be safe in their hands, Qn Madison's State, Virginia, none could vote at all ex- cepting those who possessed a 'free- hold'' of at least 50 acres.")
 No wonder that a government de- v1sed by these ariStocratic and veal thy conspirators against the rights or the common people has turned out to be a government of the masses by the Interests for the "interests!"
 The Constitution was never adopted or ratified by the masses of the people, but was foisted upon them by a privileged minority who controlled the government of state and nation; a privileged few of whom Prof. Me- Master has written, "A very little study of forgotten politics will suffice to show that in filibustering and gerrymamdering, in stealing gov renorships and legislatures, in using force at the polls, in colonizing in all the frauds and tricks that go to make up the worst form of practical politics, the men who founded our state and national government were always our equals and often our mas ters.''
 n iO11t tS'' have become so firmly established in the United States to-day that the common people labor and die in pow erty while the owners of tour coun- try'' revel in unearned wealth and with their il1-gotten gains continue to corrupt often even legislatures and courts
 No wonder that laws designed to benefit the working class are declared 'funconstitutional!' Many of them cer tainiy are absolutely contrary to the purposes and intents of those .'pa- triots" of old who, in their secret con- clave of 1787, produced a constitution deliberately planned to hold the work CTS in effectual check and to make democracy impossible.
 Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, when professor of jurispru- dence and politics in Princeton Uni- 'versity, wrote of the U. s. Constitu- tion, 'The government had, in fact, been originated and organized upon the initiative and primarily in the in terest of the mercantile and commer- cial classes. x ** It had been urged to adoption by a minority under the concerted and aggressive leadership of able men representing a ruling class '* a strong and intelligent class, possessed of unity, and informed by conscious solidarity of material interests
 Only when the strong and intelli- gent" workers of America become pos sessed of the spirit of unity and in- formed by a conscious solidarity of THEIR material interests can really Democratic organization of society in their interest be achieved.

SHOULD KNOW ABOUT FIRE
 HAZARDS.
(Springfield Republican,


 A woman poured a quart of gaso- line in the marble wash bowl of the toilet room and placed a silk waist in it. She closed the door and re- turned in about 10 minutes. She rubbed the silk between her hands. This generated sufficient electricity to make a spark. The gasoline ex- ploded, the house burned and the wo- man lost her life.
 If the woman had known that gas- oline evaporates rapidly, that the gas it makes is seven times more danger ous than gunpowder, that a single spark would cause terrible explo- sion and that one may generate an electrical spark by rubbing silk cloth If the woman had known all this, there would have been no fire in the house and she would probably be alive to-day. And there is no req son why, people generally should not know. these facts of ordinary life. The Incident is dramatic but highly H. Illustrative of the need of popular ed- ucation concerning fire hazards in the home, the shop and the factory. Am ericans are still too indifferent, too ignorant regarding fires, which cause an annual loss of property in this country amounting in value to hun dreds of millions of dollars

Senator Paddock Fights For Full
 Train Crew Bill.
(Specia1 from United Press. )


 Hartford, Sept. 7.-During the dis cussion of the full train crew bill in the Senate, today, Lieutenant Cover nor Blakeslee said that an amend ment which had passed the House, had not been considered by the Sem ate. The amendment was not read. The question before the Senate at the time was should it recede from its former action in putting the matter up to the new public service commis- sion and concur with the House, which passed the bill.
 The House wanted to make it mandatory for the roads to provide full crews, said MT. Fenn, and the Senate wanted to put the power of making mandatory orders in the hands of the committee.
 MT. Judson defended his commits sion plan. "The commission is the only logical body to possess this pow er.''
 Senator Woodruff challenged any body to show where the railroad was violating the contemplated law.
 Senator Paddock, of Bridgeport, replied:
 ''I know of men who, if not in fear of discharge, would answer you and tell you that there are New Haven road trains coming out of New York with only a conductofgand no brake men at all.'
 MT. Woodruff replied in turn that he had ridden to and from New York for 20 years and had never encounter ed such a condition of affairs. What we want to do is we wish to protect the public" he said. ITO order flag men to be placed at dangerous places along the road. Twenty accidents happen at such places as against ac- cidents due to lack of trainmen on trains"
 The vote was by roll call. The vote resulted 15 to IA in favor of adhering to former action. The bill was then tabled. There is now disagreeing ac- tion between the two branches.

SENATE REFUSES TO LEVY STATE

Stiles Judson in Favor of Laying the Tax But Is
 In the Minority
HOme-Owners in Cities Thus |, Escape Paying Corper-
 atiOnS' Taxes
Especial from United Press.)

Hartford, Sept. 7-The Senate, to- day, adhered to it's former action in rejecting the bill for a state tax. The House favored the tax.
 Senator Donovan, eOf South Norwalk who moved to adhere, stated that there was no need for a state tax that the state was providing for it's debts by bond issues and that the present Legislature had increased the amount of bonds from five to six mil lions.
 Senator Judson stated that there had been mistake made regarding the amount of the state debt, that it was $750,000 more than reported. Therefore a state tax was required, he said.
 MT. Peck of Danbury, thought that the tax was unnecessary.
