LISTEN TO FRANKLIN
He Sacrificed His Opinions Of Errors
in Original Constitution to Public
Coed.

When the original thirteen states
were hickering over the constitution,
Benjamin Franklin was feeble old
man more than eighty years Of age.
Franklin was . delegate to the Con-
new Constitution as he wrote .
frail and his voice was so weak that
he could not speak on the floor, but
when the question Of. approving the
new Constitution arose he wrote 4
short address to his colleagues which
one Of the younger members read.
Franklin's advice is SO well suited
to the present situation in the senate
that it ought to be emblazoned ON the
walls Of the senate chamber where
Messrs. Knox, Lodge, Bofsh and
Brandegee and their following can
read it each day. This is what
Franklin said:
II confess that there are several
parts of this Constitution which / do
not at present approve. But having
lived long, have experienced many
instances Of being obliged, by better
information or fuller consideration, to
CHI Age opinions even on important
subjects which ! once thought right,
but found to be otherwise. It ID there
fore that the older / grow, the more
apt am to doubt my own judgment
and to pay more respect to the judg-
ment Of others.
doubt, too, whethe any other
convention we can obtain may be able
to make a better Constitution. For
when you assemble number OF men
to have the advantage Of their joint
wisdom, you inevitably assemble with
those men all their prejudices, their
passions, their errors Of opinion, their
local interests, and their selfish views.
From such an assembly can . perfect
production be expected? It therefore
astonishes me, Sir, to find this system
approaching 80 near to perfection -
it does, and think it will astonish our
enemies who are waiting with conh-
denc e TO hear our councils ara con-
founded, like those Of the builders Of
Babel, and that our States are on the
point Of separation, only to meet here
after for the purpose Of cutting one
another's throats. Thus consent, Sir,
to this Constitution because / expect
no better, and because an noe anre
that It Il not the best. The opinions
/ have had Of IL errors saesthco b

us in returning to our constituents
were to report the objections he has
had to it and endeavor to gain parti-
sans in support Of them, we might
prevent its being generally received
and thereby lose Ill our favor among
foreign nations as well rs among
ourselves from our real or apparent
unanimity . -
On the whole, Sir, I cannot help ex-
pressing = wish that every member Of
the convention who may still have OBJ
jections to it would with me, on this
occasion, doubt little his own infal-
ibility, and to make manifest our
unanimity, put his name to.this in

PARENTS LIABLE WHEN
MINORS ARE DRIVING AUTOS

Nontrose Press
When . child under sixteen years Of
age is driving an automobile and runs
down a pedestrian causing injury, or
in any other manner causing injury
or damage to person or property while
driving an automobile, the parents Of
the child are liable for damages and
criminal prosecution.
This fact does not seem to be gen.
orally known, as every day children
under sixteen are seen driving autos
about the streets, sometimes with ex-
treme recklessness.
There have been no cases Of this
nature in the local courts. but in other
sections Of the state, cases Of this ma
ture have brought out the fact that
the parents could not put up any de-
fense and the case was thrown out
Of court, with Judgment entered
against the parent. A . precaution,
officials say it would be wise for the
parents to keep their children under
sixteen years Of age from driving
automobiles.

Work more
Produce more
SdUe more

But we can't continue increasing our
production unless we continue increasing
our railroad facilities.
The farms. mines and factories cannot
increase their output beyond the capacity
of the railroads to haul their products.
Railroads are now near the peak of their
carrying capacity.
Without railroad expansion-more en-.
gines. more cars. more tracks, more ter
minals-there can be little increase in
production.
But this country of ours is going to
keep right on growing-and the railroads
must grow with it.
To command in the investment markets
the flow of new capital to expand railroad
facilities -and SO increase production
there must be public confidence in the
future earning power of railroads.
The nations business can grow only as
fast as the railroads grow.

all the stories about drinking and
wild parties and that sort of thing
are all wrong. We had parties to-

had things to drink, naturally, but
there was no such thing as carousing.
And L want to state emphatically
that Olive Thomas did not commit
suicide. 1t was her intent to take
some of the many tonics that had
been prescribed for her rundown con-
dition when she took the bichloride
of mercury. AS soon as she took it
she ran crying to her husband, who
did all he could In the emergency and
had her taken at once to the hospital.
"Olive Thomas wanted to live and
begged the doctors who were attend
ing her not to let her die. She was
particularly concerned for herseN
as she felt her family was dependent
upon her. She always spoke tenderly
of her husband, and there was no
quarrel between them.
