DANES CELEBRATE FREEDOM
June 5th Means to The Danes What July
4th Means to Americans.
(By Axel Borjesson. Extra. Iowa. }


The Danish Free Constitution"
was signed on June 5, 1913, by
King Frederick VII. This constitution
gave to the people of Denmark absolute
self government, the King having the
power to name only 12 Senators, the
rest of the Senate and the congressman
being chosen by the people by election.
The cabinet is named by the King
but is really governed in all its actions
by the congress composed of the two
above named bodies of the congress.
The year 1sis and few years before
that had seen much active politics and
a general uprising of the people all over
Europe. The waves of revolution were
sweeping over the countries. In France,
in Germany, and everywhere, the soil
was fertile and outbreaks were feared
by all the crowned heads Concessions
were being made to appease the people
and fear of general war was imminent
Through the plotting of several noted
politicians, the Provinces, Slesvig and
Holster rose in arms against the
Motherland, Denmark, and were aided
by Prussia. Bismarck then launching
his life idea and beginning his life
work, that, of forming one united
Germany.
The people of Denmark then demand
ed that the cabinet be retired and that
they be given their rights as free and
self-governing people. A commission
was named aud through cooperation
between the people and King Frederick
VII, the constitution was drafted,
signed and accepted on the 5th of June,
1S4S. All was accomplished without
any armed uprising true to the nature
of the peace-loving people.
After the war of 1850, and that of
1864, the Danish people saw that
their self preservation and their only
hope lay in abolishing the old hatred
between the nations and build up the
resources of the country, promote in
dustry and business through their own
achievement. Every forward step,
every prestage, that Denmark has won
has been through the highly developed
service of good government and good
citizenship that her people has ever
cultivated.
When King Frederick VII gave to
the people of Denmark the absolute
liberty that they now cherish he did
not only deliver them from hereditary
despotism but opened the way to aban'
don all the old prejudices and the people
who framed and demanded these rights
have shown that THE PEOPLE ONLY
CAN GOVERN.
Perhaps this is the reason why the
Danes make good citizens wherever
they go-anyway the government by
the people is the cause of the increasing
prosperity, the rapid strides in all civic
improvements that Denmark can show
and show with pride
This is why the Danes celebrate the
5th of June and all the liberty loving
people of thegreatest Land of Liberty
on earth join them.

The supreme court in its opin'

by Chief Justice McCuIloch aud
concurred in by the other justices,
eliminates the so-called Joker
in the constitutional amendment.
which permits counties aud muni-
cipaliJies to initiate local laws.
There are five cases affected by
the decision. as follows: For the
removal of the Dallas county seat
from Fordyce to Princeton; re-
moval of the Montgomery county
seat from Noun, Ida to WOmbIe;
regulating horse racing in Gar.
land county; permitting Sunday
baseball in Little Rock, and plac-
ing Sebastian county officials on
a salary basis.
The court holds that each Of
these measures is inconsistent
with the general laws of the state.
The two providing for county
seat removals are declared in con
fiIct with the general statutes
which prescribe the particular
manner in which elections for the
removal of county seats shall be
initiated. The Garland county
horse racing bin aud the Little
Rock Sunday baseball measure
are held to be inconsistent with
the criminal statutes of the state,
and the Sebastian county bill is
held to be inconsistent with the
general statutes.
