... December z,
1887, it officially adopted the Con.
stitution and thus was made a
beginning Of our present Federal
government. According to the
seventh article of the Constitu-
ton, however, it was necessary
for nine states to ratify it before
1t actually came into force. So
it was not until the following
June, by which time eight other
states had accepted the Consti-
tuition, shat the United States of
America actually came into be-
ing.
The early history of Delaware
was a varied one. 1t started in
1888 when a small party Of
Swedes settled at the mouth OF
the Delaware river and called it
New Sweden. In 1855, Peter
Stuyvesant, the governor of the
Dutch colony of New Neither
lands, annexed this territory. But
1T did not long remain Dutch.
for in 1864 the English took
possession. When Pennsylvania
was decided to William Penn he
desired access to the seacoast
and at his urgent request Della
ware was transferred to PENIS
proprietorship. From the be-
ginning Of the eighteenth cen
fury, however. Delaware had it,
separate legislature, and at the
time Of the Revolution it be-
came an independent state.
Delaware is next to the small
est of our states, Aaying an area
Of only 2,370 square miles. Its
participation in presidential cleo
tions Is limited to three electors.
This is arranged according to
population. Each state. is entitled
to the same number of presiden-
tial electors as it has members
OF congress, so the influence Of
the different states in voting for
the President varies from Della
wares three electors to New
FORKS As.
AS to the derivation of the
name Delaware, this was appro-
priately given to the state from
the river, which In turn was
named after the bay and the bay
was called Delaware In honor of
Lord Delaware, who was COVER
nor Of the Virginia. colony in
1910.

TO RAISE $500, 600

The campaign for 100000 which
the Lutheran Minnesota Conference
| is carrying on for Gustavus Adolphus
College, st. Peter, Mimi. and Aug
|ustana, Seminary Rock Island, H.
began this week Monday with $1eO,
600 pledged. OF this amount the
students and faculty at Gustavus
College subscribed $26,835. This,
added to what the business men of
st. Peter have pledged and other adj
vance pledges by members of the
Lutheran churches of that city, to-
tai 5000. The alumni Of Gustavus
Adolphus College have already pledg-
ed $4,000, and $4,000 was pledged
to the theological seminary last
spring by some of the districts of
conference. making a grand total of
100000 or one-ffth of the goal at
the beginning of the campaign.
The pledges Of the studens and IA
Guilty was the big surprise for the
campaign leaders. This college,
with present enrolment Of 1928
students, many Of them working their
way, has made the highest record in
the Lutheran Augustana Synod, and
it is believed that the record has
never been excelled by any college
in the Northwest. The professors
pledges averaged over $500 each, and
that Of the students ranged from $25
to 5000. These pledges have set an
example that the campaign leaders
believe will be followed by a large
majority of the $4,000 members of
the conference, living in western
Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, and it is believed that
the remaining 100000 will be
pleged during the remainder Of the
campaign which closes November 10.
If this goal is reached, the General
Education Board Of New York has
promised to appropriate an addi-
tional 100000.
Many students from this eemmun-
ity have attended Gustavus Adolf
plus College. The Rev. A. Road
and the members Of the local Lu-
theran church are taking part in the
present campaign and are following
its progress with great interest.

Books and Smokes.

Smoking rooms for public Libraries have
mems organ, the Publishers Weekly. The
Connecticut library commission shows typi-
cal division on the question, one commissioner
declaring that the people want library smok-
ing rooms and must have them, while the Ii
brarian of New Haven denounces smoking in
the literary stacks. Book stores and cigar
stores are linked in the comment of the pub
fishers medium, which goes on to say: Per
haps the two things can become so insep-
arably connected in the public mind that they
will insist on finding books in cigar stores as
well as cigars in book stores"
If this is, as it certainly sounds, an over
ture from the book sellers to the tobacconists,
the latter can hardly afford to neglect it Their
commodity, If not seriously threatened is at
least under fire, and nothing could be better
for it than an offensive and defensive alliance
With the venerable and respected powers of
literature. The tobacconists, of course will
see the necessity of more catering to the cog
noscenti. Cigars and pipe mixtures should be
named after living poets, essayists and writer's
of best sellers rather than after politicians.
With proper bait literary lions can be coaxed
to infest cigar stores as they did coffee houses

political one, but the rule is to give as well as
