MEMBER COLORADO EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION
Constitution of the United States

The constitution of the United States
the original pen written constitution,
he it remembered is kept in Il steel safe
in the library of the State department.
The safe, quite a pretty affair, in gray
and gold. is massive and strong. n COM
binatiOn lock protects its priceless con-
tents. and the combination is carefully
kept by one or two officials. Recently,
however. the steel doors were swung
open in order to allow the writer to look
upon the sacred pages. No document in
the world has been so frought with
destiny as this very same constitution.
1t is today the foundation of the gov
ernment. To see it as it came from the
pen of the engrosser on the 18th day OF
September. 1857. is a sight worth travel
ing a thousand miles to witness.
AS it is well known, there are in the
state department two copies Of the
declaration of Independence-one the
official and engrossed document, and
the other the original draft in the hand
writing of Thomas Jefferson, with all
the erasures and alterations that were
made before the language was finally
agreed upon. In the case OF the con-
stitution there is only one copy-the
final engrossment, with the signatures
duly attached.
AS thus preserved, it consists of four
large sheets of parchment. each % by
2s inches. with the words written out
in the old fashioned chirography of
century ago, and the curious capitaliza-
ton of letters then In vogue. The first
three words. 1--WE. the people, are en-
crossed in very large black letters. 30
that they staEd out in bold relief. On
the last page are the signatures OF the
deputies from the various states. be-
ginning with the familiar autograph of
George Washington, who signed himself
rs president and deputy from Vir-
ginia." Many of the names are closely
associated with the early history of the
republic Alexander Hamilton, Rufus
King, Gouverneur Morris, b. Franklin,
Daniel Carroll and ltoger Sherman be
ing among the number
The constitution is a most excellentlv
preserved document. The ink is faded IL
little, but not sufficient to detract from
legibility or appearance; the signatures
are specially clear. This might have
been the case also with the Declaration
of Independence, but it so happened
that when fac smile of that paper
was attempted in 1894 irreparable harm
was done to it through carelessness and
ignorance. In the case of the cOnstitu-
tion the utmost care has been observed,
and no injury has resulted.

The Easiest Way

A company of select coiored artists
were rendering a version of "Oth-
clio" The scene between the Moor
and Desdemon had been reached,
wherein Othello demands the hand
kerchief which he has given his wife
as a wedding amulet.
"Desdemona." he cried, "fetch me
han'kerchiefr"
But the doomed lady only babbled
of Cassie. and her liege lord shouted
again:
II asst TO de second time to git me
dat han kerchief!"
Still the fair one parried the issue
with talk OF Cassie, and the lOrdly
Othello, now thoroughly incensed,
beloved:
"Woman TO- de third and las time
1 tell you to get me dat han'ker-
chief!
And as he was just about to open
his mouth again, a big leather-lung-
ed patron in the top gallery shouted
down at him:
"Fo' de Lawd's sake, nigger, why
doan' yo' wipe yo' nose on yo' sleeve
an let de show go on!"-J udge's Lii

STATE BANKS LEND
LARGE AMOUNT OF
MONEY TO FARMERS
Excessive Demands of the
Farming Interests Recent
ly Cause Decrease in
Resources

Montgomery, July 13-(Special.1- 1-Exces-
sive demands of the farming interests of
tie state during the past few months
have caused a decrease in the resources
of the state banks of Alabama of nearly
S2.oO0,0oo according to general summary
Of the banks Of the state issued by Super
intendent Alex E. Walker of the banking
department.
Superintendent Walker issued a call to
the various state banks on June . to fur
nish him with statement of their finan-
cial condition. The reports of these in
situations have all been compiled into a
general summary and the figures assem-
bled by the state bank superintendent
offer some interesting features
In the first place, the total resources
given by the state banks amounted to
$50 aS7 2110f, as against $fl ,601 ,030.S9 for
February 4, 1918. showing a depreciation
IN resources of s1.613.s19s2. According to
the superintendent of banks this decrease
was cue 10 tie large demands made by
the farmers Of the state upon the banks.
A considerable amount of money has
been lent 10 tie farmers, and while all
the loans are covered by ample security,
IL mas C1uSFG appreciation III TIE re-
sources of the various financial institu-
tons Of the state, The October report
of the state superintendent of banks will
doubtless snow an amount of resources
largely in excess of the resources for
June
The falling off in deposits during the
past few months, which is also due to
the fact that all available funds were
used for crop purposes, amounts to more
than $6.6 900. The total deposits when
tire call was ISSUED on February 4, 1918,
was S51, COS, $50 76 while the deposits on
June were $4IS6f26454.
Other interesting features of Superin-
tendent Walkers summary are: Notes
and bills rediscounted. February 1, $685.
565.3l: June 3, S69S, 147. 40. Bills payable.
February 4. 81, 1895. .264.2T June 9. a. 1913 80 AS

vided profits On June were $7,117743S3.
