BUY A LIBERTY BOND

It REQUIRES more than intermitten
storms of shot and shell, more thar
men in uniform, more than just brain.
to win this war. Above all it re-
quires money. To meet the demand we
have the Liberty Bond plan.
As true Americans, all who are able
should buy a Liberty Bond. We give
I'D our sons, often we sacrifice our
business, we boast of our country and
of our patriotism. Now when that
country calls upon us for aid why
shouldn't we respond? Three bill
lions of dollars are involved in this
second issue that our sons might ad-
vantageously be situated in France.
Their destiny, which is also ours, de-
pends upon our financial resources.
Here's another reason why every
one should buy Libetry Bond. We
are constantly-those of us who have
money to invest-looking for safe
channels in which to place our money.
We know of no safer place to invest
money than with the United States
Government. While the rate of in
terest is not as high as in other
money propositions it is safe in this
proposition. We must remember
that everything has to be paid for.
To know that your money is safe is
worth a sacrifice. This fact is true;
IL it were not, 1.-THE great institutions
like our banks would not have so
willingly invested their money in
Liberty Bonds.
To reiterate, it is our duty to aid
our county when she needs US; she
has protected US when we needed her.
More than that, she is paying us for
our aid. Buy Liberty Bond.

"The Soul Of q Bishop.

As In "Mr. Brittling Sees II
Through" H. g. Wells shows the as.

the normal civilian life of England
so in THE Soul of a Bishop" his new
est novel. he shows its effect on that
bulwark Of society, the church. The
bishop, brought up in reverence for
the forms Of religion, is overwhelmed
by the terrific questions that the war
hurls upon him, questions which these
forms do not appear to help him an
swer. Mr.. Wells solution is revolu-
tionary, yet his book is deeply re-

ought not to forget the men who went

that these men represent the student

tuition. The legislatures are left to
their own devices in approving or re-
jecting the proportion. Congress-
however, directs that whenever Of
fetal notice is received at the Depart
ment of State that any amendment
proposed to the Constitution of the
United States has been adopted, ac-
cording to the provisions of the Consti-
tuition, the Secretary of State shall
forthwith cause the amendment to be
published in the newspapers author
lied to promulgate laws, with his
certificate specifying the states by
which the same may have been
adopted, and that the same has be-
come valid, to all intent and purposes,
as a part of the Constitution of the
United States"
Since the time of Patrick Henry,
there has been much criticism and dis
cussion of the necessity of the ap-
proval of three-fourths of the states,
and more particularly of the principle
of allowing states equal power re-
gardless of their population or
wealth, when a proposed amendment |
IS to be voted on. A statistician has
from the 1900 census that
,ne forty-fourth of the population
so as to constitute a |
majority in the twelve smallest states
,ould prevent the ratification of
amendment even after it had
,assed both houses.

AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION

The United States Senate, by the re-
quired two-thirds vote, passed, in the
last session, the Sheppard Resolution
proposing a national dry amendment
to the federal constitution. The
House will act upon this resolution at
the next session. If the resolution
passes the House by the necessary
two-third vote. it must be ratified by
the legislatures of three-fourths of
the states.
The How of Amending the Consti-
tuition of the United States is very
simple as set forth in Article V of the
Constitution:
'The Congress, whenever two-thirds
of both Houses shall deem it neces-
sary, shall propose amendments to-
this Constitution, or, on application
of the legislatures of two-thirds of
the several States, shall call a con-
vention for proposing amendments,
which, in either case, shall be valid to
oil anu pui PooCo, oo paft VI tAiio
Constitution when ratified by the
legislatures of three-fourths of the
several States, or by conventions in
three-fourths thereof, as one mode of
the order mode of ratification may be
proposed by Congress"
While the system is simple, it re-
quires such large majorities both for
initiation and ratification that amend
ments are impossible under ordinary
circumstances.
Article V, as above offers four pos
sible ways of amending the Constitu-
ton, but only one has been used. The
proposition to amend may originate in
Congress, pass both Houses by two
thirds vote and then be ratified by the
legislatures in three-fourths of the
States, and that is the way it has been
done; or instead it may be ratified by
conventions in three-fourths of the |
States. But instead of originating in
Congress the resolution may be pre-
sented at a national convention called
for that purpose by Congress on ap-
plication of two-thirds of the States.
In this case the ratification may be by
either of the two processes mentioned.
Many questions regarding the
makeup of the national state con-
ventions, the procedure to be followed
by the state legislatures in passing
upon an amendment and like matters |;
are not taken up in the Constitution
but are left to Congress.
On the occasions when the Consti-
tuition has been amended Congress has
been very brief in its instructions.
Resolutions proposing an amendment
are submitted in the following form:
Resolved by the Senate and the
House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress
assembled, two-thirds of both houses
concurring. That the following
article be proposed to the legislatures
of the several states as an amend
ment to the Constitution of the United :
States which when ratified by three /:
fourths Of the said legislatures shall :
be valid as a part of the said Consti- !:

The World Series is over at last
And the White Sox won with ease
AS usual,of course, a new star was born
And he's a real star, too, II you please.
While Faber and Cicotte and Collins did
well;
In fact, better than most players can,
There's one boy who surely outshone them
You all know him-Chick Gandirs the
With his bat Chick was timely and sure
All pitchers looked alike to this chap.
When a hit was needed to score a run,
Chick always was there with the rap
He's an unassuming, modest man,
Doesn't care for the limelight at all;
In truth, doesn't care for any one thing
Except just to "sting that old BALL"
Chick came from the Capital City to Chi
He's played splendid ball to this day,
And Griffith OF Washington wonders now
Why he ever let Chick get away.
So while scribes are writing of heroes
galore,

They can mention dozen or more, / sup
But they've all "got to hand it, to
