our councils confourded like those OF the
builders Of Babel. and that our states are on

Thus consent, sir, to this Constitution because
/ expect no better and because 1 am not sure

The Evening Star had an editorial
on the Constitution on September IL,
last, that date being the 1880 anniver-
sary of the adoption Of the document
which was to be submitted to the
states, and which. If ratified by the
of nine states. was to be-
the Constitution of the United States.
Let me quote from that editorial. and
then I will bid you farewell until
next Sunday:
Ratification of the Constitution was effected
with difficulty. The states did not readily
grant their approval TO the work Of their dele
gates. The differences that had developed at
the Philadelphia convention were made dis
tinctly manifest in the sessions of the state
assemblies. As a matter of fact the Constitu-i
ton adopted by the narrowest Of mar
gins. Massachusetts gave its consent by a
ma jority of only 10 ont of 355 votes. New
York by only ont Of 80 and Virginia by only
10 out Of 166. The Affirmative votes OF nine
states were required for adoption Eleven
states ratified. A change of 10 votes In
Massachusetts,, 2 in New York and 6 in vir-
ginia would have defeated the Constitution
definitely-1S votes in all.

SATURDAY Football.

The Haskell Indian football team
ran true to form Saturday afternoon,
defeating Baker university IA to 0.
The Methodists, even tho defeated,
fought hard and kept their goal from
being crossed in the second half by
the redskins. The two touchdowns
made by Haskell were of the fluke ma
ture and were made on intercepted
forward passes.
Both teams made eight first downs
and were penalized frequently for in
fractions of the rules. Haskell losing
ninety-five yards in penalties and
Baker suffering forty. Tommy Ander-
son starred for the Indians and Rice,
the Baker quarter, performed well for
his team. making big gains thru the

Wilbert Robinson's funny Dodgers
have to win only one game out of the
remaining four on their schedule to
carry the national colors into the
world series.
II the Dodgers lose all four starts,
the Giants can do no better than finish
in a tie with their town mates.
The situation remained unchanged
in the American league with one-half
game separating the Cleveland In
dams and the White Sox. The In
dams have seven more games to go
and the White Sox four. The outcome
is doubtful but Speakers Indians are
the selection of most of the dopesters.
The Giants played the most consist
ent ball in the old organization last
week, winning five out of their six
starts. They gained very little on the
Dodgers, however, as Robby's club
won three out Of their four games.
The white Sox closed in on the In
dams by a fraction Gleason won
five out of six starts. while the IN
dams were able to get but four out of
their six games.
II the White sSox win all their four
remaining games they would finish
with 90 won and SIS lost with a per-
centage of .636. To beat them out for
the pennant, Speaker would face the
task of winning five out of his seven
games.

TEXAS FREIGHT MEN FIGHT
EXORBITANT OCEAN RATES

Texas freight men have joined in with others
along the South Atlantic coast to have the mer-
chant marine act changed so that equity in rates
may be secured The same hand that nouriShes
America S lusty INGREDIENT marine is liable to tear
down the structure of foreign trade, through Gulf
and South Atlantic ports, in the opinion OF Texas
freight men, who are directing the storm OF pro-
fest at the Interstate Commerce Commission in am
effort to procure further suspension OF the pro-
visions of what they term discriminatory rate
clauses i'm section Is of the merchant marine act.
HIGHER rates to Tidewater on products taking
foreign bottoms intended by the trainers OF the
act TO build up the infant merchant marine Serv-
ice of the country will according to Texas ship
pers, automatically drive forelgn-owned vessels
10 those ports of the upper Atlantic, to which no
discriminatory rates apply. To meet the compe-
tition of a great port like New York and at the
same time to distribute the country commerce
evenly and to the best advantage many products
heretofore routed through South Atlantic, Gulf
and Pacific ports have received the Denellt OF
lower rates.
According to shipping men, the application of
section Is win mean a discontnuance OF trade
routes established between Southern and Paclhc
ports TO Europe South America and the Far East,
since foreign-owned ships cannot then compete
with American vessels save by shifting their trade
routes to the North Atlantic, where the alleged
discriminatory rates do not apply.
Students of the act declare that foreign lines
and exporters already have found way to
cheat" the regulation by consigning their car
goes TO Canadian port cities without the payment
of the extra rate contemplated under the Jones
bill.
Virtually every port along the Gulf, South At
lantic and Pacific coasts are said to have pro-
tested the section. Texas and Louisiana ports,
which are parties to the protest face conflict of
interests. Shipping interests of the upper Pacific
coast in an effort to nuify the action of section
%. have asked that an embargo be declared on
all products shipped from Atlantic and Gulf ports
through the Panama canal to the Orient Should
