In the whole history Of the adoption
OF the Constitution the small states
acted from small motives and the
larger states from smaller motives In
proportion to their strength and lead
ership. No state acted SO badly as
New York, except Rhode Island, But
even Rhode Island did finally get in,
and New York gave up reluctantly the
power of taxing the potatoes and eggs
that she imported from Connecticut.

sat for three weeks In the convention
and never opened his mouth and when
he finally spoke it was to utter three
words. II am satisfied" On February
I6, 1888, Massachusetts, ratified the Con-
stitution by . very narrow vote OF 1877
to l6S, becoming the sixth state to
ratify. Maryland came In on April 2S,
and New Hampshire's convention met,
but timidAy adjourned till June TO see
what the other states would DO. South
Carolina ratified in May. and New
IaIampshire met again in Juno and rat
| ifsd, Virginia following after long
and bitter debate; making one more
Ethan the necessary nine states. Most
bitter was the controversy in New
York, where Hamilton won bslated
victory with small majority of 80
to 81 on July 20.
Petty as were the large states, the
small ones, which had most to gain
bN the union proved even more petty.
North Carolina did not ratify until
George Washington had been Presi-
dent for some months and Rhode Is
land became one of the United States
of Amerien, May 20, 1890. Had she
waited just a little longer Vermont
which was not one OF the original
thirteen would have gotten in ahead
of her For year and more 1t had
been Rhode Island uber afles; but
Rhode Island came in. with many mis-
givings for her precious rights, having
so many sacred interests to guard that
she needed two capitals, Providence
and Newport.
Value Of Retrospect.
The value of this look backward is to
be fotnd in the discovery that there
is nothing now being said against a
League OF Nations that W., not said
in 1888 with equal eogencN bitterness
land fear thai the liberties n America
were forever doomed II this thing
should be done. Whoever desires to
make good speech against the
League of Nations as 1t is proposed in
the year of our Lord 1919 will find It
already made for him in the year 1888.
Those speeches are not very edifying
as we read them now, but they appear
quite as able, far sighted and states
manlike as some speeches now being
made win appear in one hundred and
thirty years.

SABBATH CLASS
NAMED FOR AUTO

The growing popularity OF Liberty
cars is indicated by any number Of
out-of- the-ordinary incidents and
happenings throughout the codntry
some of which are surprising in their
uniqueness.
One of the most novel methods by
which the Liberty has gained pub
licity Is its adoption as q class en-
blem by a young ladies' Sunday school
class in a thriving Illinois city.
In a spirited membership contest
among the classes in this church, in
terest was heightened by each class
choosing a motor car. after which the
class was named, and then indicating
its standing in the contest by showing
on a large map the corresponding dis
lance which the car would have trav-
eled in a trip, across the continent,
The young ladies, naturally, would
lend distinction to any car they chose
to champion. but when they appeared
wearing Liberty lapel pennants, dis
tributed Liberty literature, praised
Liberty performance, and demanded
Liberty riding and driving difference
when hearkening to the invitations
Of eligible young men-they could not
be resisted.

MILLER TRIUMPHS
WITH CARBURETER

Never in the history Of automobile
racing has such "a signal triumph
been achieved as that of the Miller
Carbureter at the great Liberty
Sweepstake held last Saturday at In
dianapolis. There were thirty-three
entries in the race and twenty-five of
these had equipped their cars with
Millers.
This last fact would be enough
honor for most auto units, but the
final result showed that the three
first to cross the finish line were fitted
out with the Miller carbureters.
In five hundred miles of travel, At a
speed OF nearly eighty miles an hour
and on an unyielding brick track.
filled with many bumps, every unit
in a racing car is subject TO a strain
that the life of an ordinary car
would not receive.
A carbureter not only receives this
strain, but must perform its allotted
function with absolute efficiency, de-
livering every ounce of power the
engine is capable of producing.
The number of explosions needed to
perform the task these carburetets
accomplished is beyond computing,
yet they must function without a miss,
or all other parts of the engine are
OF no avail.
1t certainly was triumph for a
Miller.

MOTOR MEN PLAN
EMANCIPATIONDAY

Next Tuesday the Washington Au-
tomotive Trade Association will hold,
under its auspices an emancipation
day for the members of the auto
motive and associated fraternities, at
Marshall Hall. Md. The boat will
leave Seventh street wharf at $50 pm.
June 10. and, returning, will leave
Marshall Hall at $50 p. m.
Participants can leave their cars
at the Seventh street wharf in per-
feet safety. as police protection has
been promised by Major Pullman.
1t is the intention to make this a
play day for the members and their
guests. so that they can have at least
one day free from the constant strain
OF trying to explain why they can
not make cars grow on trees. and
that three months means immediate
delivery.
Among the many features promL
Used are: Baby carriage race (Joe
Trew has a cinch on this), naiI-driv-
ing contest, potato race, monkey
race, human wheelbarrow race, leap
frog race, fifty-yard dash, baseball
game, golf ball driving contest,
throwing the bull contest (auto edi-
tors barred), standing broad jump,
quot throwing contest.
Cards, chips, and the implements
for playing African golf will be fur
nished.

SOD TURNEDFOR
LIBERTY FACTORY

The only wheels that turned at
the Liberty motor car factory last
Tuesday morning were those of some
hundreds of Liberty cars that car
ried the officials, employees, out-Of-
town dealers, and a score of enthu-
siastic Liberty owners out to the new
factory site at CharlevoiX avenue and
Corners lane, Detroit, to witness
President Percy owen turn the first
sod in the breaking of the ground
for the new plant. The ceremonies
opened with the playing of THE
Star-Spangled Banner" after which j.
Z. Fields, the general sales manager
of the Liberty Motor Car Company,
acting as master of ceremonies, in
troduced as speakers the following
men, whose names are all recognized
as prominent in Detroit's motor car
activities.
President, Percy Owen; F. c.
O'Meara, of the Michigan Manufac-
turer and Financial Record, one of
the country's leading writers on in
dustrial topics; Captain Gilbreath,
manager of the Detroit Automobile
Club; J. H. Cullen, of the Detroit
board of commerce. and H. H. Essel-
styn, Detroit commissioner of public
works.
After the speeches President Owen
picked I'D a souvenir gold spade, en-
sbossed with the Liberty seal, and
'deftly turned The first bit or earth

A railroad in the rear, and a sid
ing at -the- east OF the plant, give
ample Transportation facilities inside
of the property limits. There will
be three, principal. buildings and
factory poweThOusc. The layout
and construction Of the three prin-
cipal buildings and the powerhouse
as we'll, will be as convenient and
complete as modern designing and
construction methods can make them.
One or the distinctive ideas for this
building is a tower, modelled after
that OF Independence Hall, and which
will contain a replica Of the Liberty
Bell instead of the conventional fac
tory whistle.

NEW CONCEPTION
OF AUTO SERVICE

Probably no word in the English
language has been more overworked,
worn so thresdbare, had such varied
conceptions placed upon it, meant so
much or meant so little, as the word
Service" SAYS Frank Harter, man
ager OF the local Stewart Products
Service Station.
I'm the automobile business the
word service has undoubtedly found
its most stanCh supporter and pur-
veyor. There is nc car maker or part
maker who has not resorted to fire.
quent reference thereto and has not
made Service a big feature of his
selling plan.
Now. boiled down to fundamentals,
just what does this word Service
mean? Webster says. Amy work per-

fessed willingness to serve
First Service In Making.
Real service begins, first OF all, in
the manufacture Of a product. The
maker should build satisfactory sery-
ice right into the article itself.
"Then. for the sake Of argument, we
will assume that the car buyer .orzsc.
cessory buyer. as the case may be; has
purchased such a product. It is the
embodiment of perfection when II be-
comes his property.
AT this-point a new element enters
in-the care and attention which the
motorist will give to this article while
in use. No matter how much inherent
quality the product may possess. if it
is any piece of mechanism it is very
much at the mercy Of the man who
owns il. Whether he uses or abuses
it will determine the amount % sery-
ice il gives him.
"All thinking motorists have cone
to realize this fact They see the
unreasonableness now of expecting
the car dealer to give them freq
service on correcting trouble that the
exercising OF a little care on their
part would have prevented.
Free Service Impractical
During ;he evolution Of the au
tomotive industry the free service
idea was tried and found impractical
Fair-minded motorists did not ex-
pect such service gratis. and, fur
thermore, the privilege was consid-
erably abused by unjust car owners
THE whole idea of service on Stew
the Stewart speedometer and Stew
art vacuum system are notable mem
bers, may be summed up in this
way
"First-To give car owners the
most perfect products mechanically
and constructiveIy that human in
genuity. skill and modern machinery
can build. To make them as nearly
trouble-proOf as possible
''Second-To caution Stewart users
in every way possible to take proper
care Of their instruments.
'Third-To have close at hand. at
their Immediate disposal. official
Stewart service stations manned by a
corps Of factory-trained experts. If
any product should happen to have
any defect il will certainly show up
inside of three months and then, of
course, there is no charge for the
required parts. But otherwise, a
reasonable charge is made for all
service rendered. and is just what
any fairminded motorist expects"

Judge Manton Accuses
"President'' De Valera
Calls His Doctrine on League
False at Luncheon to Com
mander Read

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 2s At a
luncheon to-day to Lieutenant Com
mander Read, Judge Martin T. Manton
Of New York, of the United States
Circuit Court Of Appeals, criticised
Cannon De Valera, whom he des e.
mated as "half Spaniard" attempting
to mislead the American people. Judge
Manton is of Irish extraction and
widely known for his sympathy for the
cause of Irish freedom.
"Can any one dispute that the lam
guage of the league of nations cove
nant makes plain the opportunity Ire
land has so long hoped for?' he said
Int it a weird ad strange spectacle
for the we'll wishers of ireland to see
the course OF conduct Of the men of
Irish birth and Irish extraction in the
last few months? A former citizen of
Syracuse, born of an Irish mother and
Spanish father, has been heralded as
the President of the Irish Republic.
He has been permitted to land on our
shores and by speech and conduct make
propaganda to arouse Irish sentiment
what misfortune it is that with
the privilege accorded him his ener-
gies should be SO poorly spent and
misdirected. 1t is we'll enoughto Gre
ate sentiment for the Irish cause and
to keep it going, but to base it on
false doctrine is worse than never to
have created it."

Unable To BE at Services

Every wheel Of the Interborough
Rapid Transit System ceased revolving
and the company's great power plants
ceased to grind out electric current for
exactly one minute yesterday after
noon at o'clock, as a mark Of respect
for the man who for twelve years han
died the destinics of the traction
system.
At that hour the funeral service for
Theodore p. Shonts were begun at the
Brick byterian Church, at 412 Fifth
Avenue. A single switch, operated in
system to standstll and later set it
IN motion again.
heavy. downpour OF rain, which
started shortly before 4 o'clock and
continued for more than an hour, did
not prevent representatives of every
phase of New York life from crowding
INTO the church to pay silent tribute
to the former head of the lnterborough
system: The coffin and altar were COW
cred with scores of floral pieces.
Employees Of the road, from high Of
ilcials on down to trackwalkers, were in
the church. Financicrs with whom Mr.
Shonts had had intimate dealings
rubbed shoulders with ticket choppers
and station portcrs as they stood in
the rain with heads uncovered before
the church.
The Rev. Howard Dufield. who Off
ciated at the services, paid high
tribute to the former traction head as
citizen and an industrial leader.
We thank the Lord that this man
lived to accomplish what he did for
humanity" said DR.. Dufield. "He
created a new and direct path between
the home and the market place. He
brought the tides Of the two great
oceans together in another engineering
feat His work has been for the world"
All of the living relatives Of Mr.
Shonts were at the church except his
two daughters. Mrs. Rutherford Bing-
ham, the wife of a son Of General
Theodore A. Bingham, is travelling in
the Northwest Canadian woods and has
not yet been reached by numerous
telegrams telling of the death of her
father. The Duchess de Chaulnes is in
France with her son. When she left
New York three weeks ago it was
thought that her fathers condition was
rapidly improving.
In the first row were Mrs. Shonts,
