HARPS ON WORD "UNALTFR-
ABLE"

The plank begins with Il declarat-
ion Of opposition 'unalterably OPP
poscd'D to Il provision now embodied
in the Federal Constitution and as
much Il part thereof as the Bill OF
Rights. the provision for the election
Of President and Congress. the pro
vision for declaring war and conclud
ing peace, or any other provision OF
that organic law.
1t is not only opposition, but unal
icrablc oppoSition-an opposition that
no conceivable reason, logic or condi
ton can change. The reason given for
Shis Nalterable Opposition is that
Il is IAN unreasonable interference
with the rights Of the State as guar
.anteed by the Constitution"
The excuse given--not the fact or
even the reason but the cxcuse-fs
that those who wrote the platform
feel that the recent enactment was
the imposition of the ideas Of an act
i've minority against the wishes Of
great majority Of the American PEG
pie.
It is worth while to notice tho III
sincerity Of the two sentences above
quoted. The opposition cannot be bas
ed upon any real belief that 1t inter
rcres with constitutional rights, be
cause the Constitution rights, because
the Constitution itself provides
way by which it can be amended
that Is, IN fact, the most important
provision in the Constitution.
DEAD CAN'T BIND THE LIVING
The dead have no right to bind the
sN,, do "a
ago can hardly be invoked against
the recorded will Of the people. re
Gently expressed in an amendment
adopted in accordance with the terms
of the Constitution itself. If the pres
cnt generation now has no right to
change the Constitution how long will
it be before it will acquire such a
right, or if not this generation, what
generation in the future will be able
to add by constitutional methods to
a Constitution written in 1888? The
Costitution has already been amended
eighteen times and the nineteenth
amendment is nearly ratified.
When the Constitution was written
slavery existed in many of the Stat
es, an institution that had come
down from the most ancient times,
and yet it was abolished.
The Constitution provided for the
election Of Senators by State Lcgis
laturcs, but in 1913 an amendment
was adopted which changed the meth
Oh of electing Senators and provided
for election by popular vote instead
Of by State Legislatures.
This (prohibition) is tho only amend
nent that the Democratic State Con
vcntion of New York secs fit to Gun

ton is in spite OF the fact that this
amendment has been ratified by for
ty-five States New York included
among the number. All but three Of
the forty eight States have ratified

Rockville Hens Lead

Thirty-two White Leghorn hens, owned by H. Ballantyne of Rockville lead the Connecticut Home Egg Lay ing Contest in April by laying an average of 26.6 eggs in 30 days. The average of 231 focks, with a total of 32,376 birds, was 16.7 eggs for the same period.
 As all of the focks entered in the Home Egg Laying contest are kept at home, there is necessarily a wide difference in care and management. Many of these poultry owners are now keeping accurate records for the first time and are checking up carefully on the performance of each hen. Non-laying hens are being re- moved and sold. Information on poultry management is being sup piled to owners of these flocks by the poultry specialists of the Exten- sion Service at Connecticut Agri- cultural College, Storrs.
 Following is summary of the contest results for April, as checked over from the individual records:

OUR FARMERS CORNER

occurred during the first four months of this year, as compared with the like period last year, ac- cording to reports of special live stock reporters of the Bureau of Crop Estimates, United States De- partment of Agriculture.
 In the case of hogs, the births dur ing January, February, March, and April were about 10 per cent fewer than in the same months last year. The marketings have fallen off about 15 per cent; the farm slaughter was about the same in both seasons; i; but the deaths on farms this year are over 40 per cent heavier than last year to May 1. Taking into con- sideration both the births and the deaths (from all causes), it appears duction of bout per cent during the first four months of this year as compared with the trend during the fisrt four months of last year.
 The births of calves from Janu- ary 1 to May 1 were about 22 per cent fewer this year than last year. The net disposition of cattle by mar ketings, farm slaughter, and deaths was about 9 per cent greater than last year; it appears that there has been relative reduction of about 6 per cent in total number of cattle as compared with last year during the four months January 1 to May 1.

Dasheen Comes to Aid of Potato

The first carload of American grown dasheens recently arrived at New York. They were grown on the east coast of Florida. Owing to the limited quantities shipped to market at present the vegetable, which is recommended as a substi- tute for the. potato in locations where that crop can not be grown, is high in price, selling for as much as 15 cents pound in New York within the past week.
 The Trinidad dasheen, which is a particularly fine favored variety of the taro, is one of 46,O00 foreign plants introduced into the United States by the Department of Agri- culture. It was brought here in the belief that it would yield the South . tuber crop which could be used to supplement the potato. It contains 50 per cent more starch and 50 per cent more protein than the potato.
 Dasheens can not be grown in the North, but they are finding favor among consumers in that section of the country. Dealers in Washing ton and New York report that they are having difficulty in meeting the demand for the new tuber, even at the high prices.
