Socialist Speaker From Pittsbg Argues That It is Class
 Document-Big Business Men of the Colonies Framed It in Their Own Interests-People Were Left Out

keep power from the hands of the peo- pie they took from them all power ot election of the federal officials except sort of secondhand power. Then the supreme court was organized, to by appointed by the president, who has the powers of a king. The veto was a power vested in the king of England, continued in our own gov ernment.
 To show the opinions of the men whom we have been taught to regard as idols, l will quote some of their own words. I do not blame them; anyone would have done the same as they did; they were working for their own class-for class, government Hamilton said: "AH communities di- vide themselves into the few and many. The first are the rich and well born; the other, the mass of the peo- pie, are turbulent and changing; they seldom judge or determine right" Therefore he advocated a permanent senate, which would be able to check the impotence of democracy" Roger Sherman of Connecticut: oppose the election of members of the national legislature by the people. The people, immediately, should have as little to do as may be about the government" All hated democracy and their pur- pose was not to form the ideal gov ernment but the government best pro- tecting the business leagues of the country, and that the republican party has been doing ever since. There were about 17 men in the convention which drew up the constitution who held all the power. In many. of the states the people had no opportunity to vote on the constitution, but ratify ing conventions were called, and the men who made the constitution saw that it was ratified in these various conventions. These men were the first confidence men in the country, and since then the people have had con- fidence and nothing else. If the work jngmen of today were as closs con scious and as class loyal as were the men who drew up the constitution and secured its adoption, socialism would rule the country in no long time. The real heart of the constitution is in the power granted congress. There is no power in the hand~ of the people as such, directly. The constitution was formed as a closs document fun damentally
 The supreme court is the sole judge of the legality or equity of any act or decision. John Marshall set a prece- dent when he decided that the state of Vermont could not take over Dart mouth college as long as the school did not flagrantly abuse the conditions of it's charter. Thus when the capi- talist secures a charter it Is his for ever; it becomes divine. The capital ist has used this class constitution to carry out his purpose as the wood chopper uses the axe.

Collected in a Dainty, illuminated 6ooklet-Verses Grave, Light and Humorous.

The clever poems by Miss Magic Vir- ginia Caruthers, of Norwich, which have appeared in various leading mag azines and newspapers, have been col lected in a dainty booklet, which takes its tic from the first poem, The Leg end ol the Holy Thorn and Other Poems.
 The booklet is exceedingly artistic the tiny Christmas trees, Candles, ct al. which carry out the holiday idea so prettily being colored by hand by Baltimore artist. The book is di- vided into three sections, grouping poems that are grave, light and more humorous, the divisions being indi- cated by illuminated candlesticks. The poems are expressive of a val riety of sentiments, clothed in grace fully polished language, the humorous verses often from a quaint viewpoint which adds to their charm. Miss Caruthers made a pretty book of her poems two years ago, but the l 1912 collection is even more attrac- | tive, both in contents and as a dainty example of the bookmaker's art.

The socialist room in the Stead building was filled to It's capacity on Wednesday evening with members and friends gathered to hear the address by John w. Slayton of Pittsburg, Pa, on The Constitution of the United States a Glass Document. Fred Holds worth presided at the meeting and in- troduced the speaker. MT. Slayton said in part:
 I propose tonight to smash what is an idol to many of you. There have been so many lies and misstatements about the constitution that the aver age man cannot tell whether it is good or bad. As boy. one is taught by his teacher that, next to the Bible, tn } constitution of the United States is the most God-inspired document in ex- istence, and he comes to believe it. He hates the man who talks against the constitution. It was the rising busi- ness men of the country who made the constitution, not the common people. John Hancock took no great chances in throwing over his name, his honor and his fortune with the colonists against the king. On the day Of the battle of Lexington he was to have been tried for smuggling, and it would have been the kings tower fir him had he been tried. -'e had nothing to lose by throwing in his lot wtE the others to get control of this great rit h land. So Hancock and the othels who took a prominent part in the affairs of the new country were not idols, but men, working for their own interests.
 These men-the big business men were not in favor of tearing away from the rule of King George, but when this had been done they began to crawl back, a little at time, into popular favor and into power. With the forming of the constitution Alex ander Hamilton the greatest states man of his time, wanted to eject the president and senate for life, with ihe power of appointment of the state governors in the hands of the presl- dent. Tine class of men who had the matter in charge agreed with him, but felt that there was too much democ- racy. of feeling at that time for such a step. So as the next best thing to
