THE CONSTITUTION
(By request.)

CENATOR BORAH of Idaho, in
statement in the New York Times,
makes this plea for inviolability OF
constitutional rights:
al think it was something of shock
to this country that as soon as the
people were called upon to fight 1t
was practically announced that all
discussions, all expressions of opinion,
should be under the surveillance of the
government. And now comes the
startling, the almost hideous PROPOSE
ton that peace, that which we all
hope for and all right-minded people
pray for, shall be the one subject upon
which the American people shall not
exchange views and concerning which
there shall be no discussion.
"Then followed, naturally, of course,
the proposition that in time of war we
have no Constitution, that everything
rests in the discretion of the executive
and Congress. When the question was
asked, how could people be denied the
right to express their opinion when the
Constitution is clear and unmistake-
able in its terms, the reply came, the
only reply that could be made, that
during the war the guarantees IN
this fundamental law relative to lib
erty of speach and private rights were
in some way or other suspended; that,
like Mohanmed's coffin, they floated
about in the upper air just beyond the
reach ofthe people and would descend
again only at the nod of the Congress
and of the Executive. The doctrine
is advanced that every citizen, his
his rights, his liberty, his
life, are after the declaration of war
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1917-07-12

the playthings of Congress and the
Executive.
Speaking with the entire personal
respect for those who entertain such
an opinion, the doctrine seems to me
perfectly monstrous. Our Constitu
ton was not only made for war as
we'll as for peace, but it was made
sufficiently efficient for the purposes
of war. 1t was made by men entirely
familiar with war and the duties and
responsibilities of the people at war.
The powers plainly granted are eff
cient and sufficient to carry on war
and to call forth and utilize all the
powers of people.
1.-The Constitution is the property of
the nation and not of those who tenn
porarily enjoy office. 1t contains no
provision which is in conflict with any
other provision. 1t provides no
method under which notifications or
amendments or suspensions can be had
save through and by the consent ofthe
people.
''The people adopted it not only as
restraint for those in power, but as
a restraint upon the people themselves
that in the hour of passion, excite
ment or war, in times when power
would be claimed and coveted, there
might be compass to steer us thru
the storm and maintain thru it all
the rights and liberties and freedom
of the people. To make the Consti-
tuition the plaything of the hour, the
occasion of peace or war, is infinitely |
more menacing to the happiness and
future welfare of our own people than
foreign foes"

Are You One of Them?

There are a great many people who
taking Chamberlain's Tablets for a

severe pains in the pit of my stomach.
Our druggist advised me to take
Chamberlain's Tablets. l took bot

me wonderfully, and I kept on TAX
