CONSTITUTION DAY OBSERVED


 The management of the West Side Silk mill observed the National Constitution Day at the noon hour Friday. The em pIayes assembled in the easy recreation room recently finished and after the singing of patriotic songs, by request of the management, Secretary Edwin Hill of the local Y. M. C. A. made a brief ad- dress Annericanism, and among oth- CT things said, Laws are absolutely necessary in every realm of life; unless there is in the home some sort of rules and regulations written or unwritten,
 the home would go to smash; the par
 ents must discharge their duties as heads of the home or things go wrong. 1 The same thing is true in a factory rules and regulations are absolutely necessary; the heads of the factory must have fair and proper rules and then l see to it that they are observed. So with a nation, there must be well de- fined laws else the building of a stable i government is impossible. About three 1 hundred years ago, little company set | sail from distant shores and after 1 long and tedious voyage, landed at Ply
 mouth Rock. The first thing they did was to formulate a code of laws which was really covenant and after agree 1 ing to the code they solemnly promis- l ed to observe the laws they had made One hundred and sixty seven years af- l terward certain wise men in our be 1 lowed America, after much thought and 1 discussion, and prayer adopted our Con stitution, which though containing many
 more words than the simple covenant
 made by the Pilgrim athers, is in es- 1 sence the same in spirit.
 ''The Constitution is shot through with | the thought of just laws and obedience 1 to the same. We often say this is i free" country, but that does not mean | that man can do as he please with no regard to the other fellow; if this was a free country in that sense anarchy
 would ruin us speedily. We are free
 not interfere, in any way. with the hap piness of others. A good motto for the | home. the factory and for the country l is "others.s' and if we all lived in the l spirit of this motto. there would be no i trouble in the home: there would be no strikes and there would be no such ter rible happenings as that which occurred Thursday in New York city Jesus Christ laid down in a few words what l is really the spirit of our Constitution when He said whatsoever ye would
 that men should do to you. do so even
 unto them."' In other words, the Gold
