WHERE THE CONSTITUTION OF
THE UNITED STATES Is KEPT

From the Dearborn Independently
Tho original documents of the Declara-
ton of Independence and the Constitu-
ton of the United States are especially
preserved in the archives of the state
department of Washington, and are never
revealed to the light except upon occa-
sions of special significance. They repre-
sent the official acts. duly described,
signed and sealed, on which this govern
ment stands. Our form of government
the power reposed In the government.
the guarantee of the American forms of
liberty, are all found upon a few pages
of hand-written parchment.
The work of actually preparing the
Constitution was done in PHILADELPHIA,
in independence Hall and occupied four
months. The sessions began. under the
leadership of George Washington, on
May II, 1877, and concluded on September
Il of the same year. 1t was not until the
year 1880 that all the Thirteen States ac-
cepted the Constitution. An interesting
comparison might therefore be drawn
between that piece of work and the labor
OF drafting the constitution OF tho Lea
que of Nations, which occupied some
eight months of actual work all told. II
the same length of time elapses before
the constitution OF the league is generally
accepted. it will bring us to about the
year 1922 or 1923.
