W ra8tate all the arguments
that were made against the
4 Constitution in the Philadel-
phia convention which formu-
iated IL and approved it by a vote of
i 81 to is. and in the several state con-
Ventions to which it was submitted
for ratification or rejection. would be
task longer and more arduous than
the Rambler dares to assume. The
thought comes to him that a few of
| the arguments against it were i'm
pressive. both in matter and presenta-
| ton. and no doubt sprang from a set
tied and deliberate conviction that
| the proposed central government
could and might become a tyranny,
| and that the people Of the states
might be reduced to political condi-
ton lower than that which they had
held under the monarchy of Great
Britain. But these arguments and the
men making them were few. An
American today can but be impressed
| that the great mass of argument
against national government as pro-
posed in the Constitution was bad
logic or no logic at all. 1t is not bad
because it has been proved SO by
! time and circumstances. but it was
obviously bad at the time it was made
and was clearly shown to be so by
the champions of the proposed gov
eminent.
Much of the argument against the
| adoption of the Constitution was
tawdry political claptrap, uttered. for
one thing. to gain applause from
ignorant men, and the great mass of
ancestors were about as ignorant and
! selfish minded as the great mass of
descendants. Many politicians of that
time found it profitable to talk
down" to the low intelligence of their
patrons and to tickle the narrowest of
their prejudices. 1t often happened
and as full of benighted prejudices as
their constituents. Their career In
politics depended on standing In"
with these elements. They could not
hope for preferment from constituents
who could read and reason fairly.

What is surprising to an American
| today is that a number of men who
delight in speaking Of themselves as
| tributes of the people" and as de
tenders of the rights of the people,,
and who pandered to the lowest and
most selfish caste of men. earned con-
siderable standing in the affairs of
their states and are, because of the
position they secured. historic figures
of considerable stature today. 1t
seems to the Rambler that large
majority of the advocates of central
government with the authority of
nation were men whose services and
fame were intercolonial and inter-
state. if the Rambler may use those
words instead Of national" and that
the great majority of the outspoken
opponents of an effective central gov
| ernment or a central government
promising effectiveness were men
whose services and reputation were
| intrastate.
Another thought that has come to
the Rambler in going through Elliot's
Debate on the Constitution" and
few other good books. is that the
| ratio of leaders or spokesman to the
number of followers was small. The
Rambler means by this that in the
state conventions discussion was car
ried on by few men and that the

Richmond papers published during the
convention exists: The journal OF the

the slenderness OF the journal is that
the deliberations were mostly held in

Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise; splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid Stomach, lame back, can, instead, both look and feel as fresh as a &aisy always by washing the pois- ons and toxins from the body with phosphated hot water each morn ing.

 The action of limestone phosphate and hot water on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating.

 The procedure outlined by MT. Little to the posts is to the effect that each man in each hospital be visited at least once a week by individual members of the committees from the legion posts and auxiliary units in the community where the hospital is located.
 Find out if the man is getting any compensation or not getting as much as he is entitled to-" says Mir. Little. We have information to the effect that many men are not getting any compen- sation at all or less than they are en- titled to- A statement should be made in each case where the man is not re- ceiving what he is entitled to and for warded to department headquarters which will take it up with the bureau of war risk insurance.
