Most old people must give TO the
bowels some regular help, else they

as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth The muscles are
less elastic. And the bowels are
muscles.
So all old people need cascarets.
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as TO neglect this
gentle aid TO weak bowels. The
bowels must be kept active. This is
important at all ages, but never so
much as at fifty

STREET CLEANING AT LAST.

Within the last few days the peO-
pie of Columbia have seen some
real" street cleaning. 1t came none
too soon for the streets in places
had become SO dirty that they We're
nuisance.
Any kind of move toward street
cleaning under such conditions as
exist in Columbia is to be commend
ed Bnt the work has not been car
ried as far as it should be. Every
street in town needs thorough
cleaning. Here is a suggestion. 1t
wouldn't cost much if the property
owners along the different streets
would "chip in" and create a little
street cleaning fund. One good
cleaning now would last for quite
awhile with the spring showers to
keep them drenched.
Let the watchword be on with the
good work.

l VISIT TO THE CEMETERY
Odd Inscriptions Found on Some Of
the Monuments.

1t was a bright spring day. The
sun shOne dazzlingly on the white
tombstones that marked the last
resting. places Of COlumbia's dead.
An old man leaning heavily upon a
cane stopped to rest for a moment.
then slowly resumed his way. walk
ing in and out between the graves.
Often he was compelled to stOOp in
order to read the almost Obliterated
inscription on a marker or slab. He
stood longest reading the inscrip-
tion which dates farther back than
any other in Columbia cemetery. On
it was carved William Orear, 1761-
1899" The old man remembered
that when he was a child. this man
who was born several years before
the Revolutionary War, was nearing
the end of his life.
He passedOn 10 another grave bear

with the word the" spelled ont.
And so the dates continued. from
1861 down to the present time.
There were many notable Column

terry; John H. Lathrop. the first pres

Away back in 1920 Missourians
| first began making laws and have
been at it ever since. The way in
which they got the first constitution
shows how the neighbOring states
had an influence in making MissOu-
ri's laws. Floyd c. Shoemaker, as a
thesis for the degree of A. NJ. at the
University of Missouri, chose the
task of finding out how the pioneers
| in this state got their first laws. At
ter working over two years at the
subject he found the information.
"Awfully dry reading over the
constitutions of the other states,
twenty-five of them think there
We're. and went over each one many
times, but to trace back everything
in the first constitution of Missouri
it had to be done. If | could find
nothing in the laws of the other
states that accounted for the law in
the Missouri statutes. then | hunted
up the cause of such statement
becoming law, and the influences
that had been brought to bear on it,
Thus for every clause in the cOnsti-
tuition tried to give the history of
how it came to be there. This first
constitution lasted forty-five years.
which is good record" said Mr..
shoemaker talking about the results
Of his two years work.
In looking into little reprint
from the thesis, it is found that the
most important public act of the
Territory of Missouri was the franz
ing of the constitution for the new
state. The spirit of Congress in re-
gard to Missouri and the slave ques-
iion was severe. and it had incensed
III Inhabitants of the territory, so
that only strong prO-slavery men
We're elect d to the constitutional
convention. All the delegates were
natives of slave-holding states eX-
cept five. one of these was q native
of Wales and the other a native of
Ireland.
On June -, 1920, these men as
sembled in st. Louis which was the
seat of the government. The con-
vention sat until July 10. The jour-
nal that was kept covered only forty
eight pages and that in a very meag-
or way. The main work was the
framing of the constitution, and in
this David Barton of Tennessee had
a 'arge part. When vote was ta-
ken on its adoption there was only
one recorded against it. 1t was nev-
or submitted to popular vote, how
ever.
In November. 1890. the Missouri
was presented to both
houses of Congress" says the re-
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1912-04-14
MiSSOuri'S First Constitution

print. THE opposition that devel-
Oped to this instrument centered in
that part of section 26 of article )
which made it imperative on the Mis-
souri, legislature to pass a law pre-
venting free negroes and mulattOes
from settling in Missouri. After a
long contest about this, Missouri was
admitted to the Union.
The Preamble appears to have
been copied from Kentucky's consti-
tuition. however the constitutions of
South Carolina. Tennessee. and Vir-
ginia contain a similar one. Article
Il on boundaries" is verbatim
copy of the Enabling Act" of Con-
gress.
The wording of the article of the
distribution of powers seems to be
taken from Kentucky and Illinois.
Blu; here again there are similar
workings in the constitutions of Ala
bama. Indiana. Georgia, and Mississ-
ippi.
kentucky and Illinois eXcrted the
greatest influence in the section on
Legislative Powers, but many other
states had matter that served Mis-
souri,.
Some clauses are nearly unique to
Missouri. A twO-year term for state
representatives was to be found in
only four states. only two states had
a definite statement guaranteeing to
each county at least one representa-
tive, and the age qualification of "a
years for these men was found in
only two states, other states placing
age at all.
In those days the men Missouri
chose to rule We're of high quality, in
the matter of age as well as other
things. Only two states required the
governor to be 81 years old. Again
in only three states was the term of
gOvernOrship as long as four years.
Missouri paid its governor more than
did any other state.
In making the constitution it is to
be noticed that those states that had
influence over Missouri We're those
