And citizens are free to work
wherever they can find employment
that suits them, as long as they meet
requirements, or to quit work that
they do not like. Because they are, i
is not and cannot be, the right or
privilege of any person; or group OF
persons, or any authority to compel
any to work where they do not want
to work, or to prevent them from
working where they do want to earn
their living and the opportunity is
offered.
These examples of the limitations
of freedom, of personal liberty, might
be multiplied many times, but even
these few are presented with an ap-
ology to the many whom they are so
familiar, so much matters of course,
that they may wonder a little, at the
first thought, why we have presented
them at all.
The reason, which is likely to come
to mind of all who wondered at first,
is that there are always some who be-
lieve, out of ignorance, or have been
misled to believe, that liberty is the
equivalent to license.

We have been having some ideal
autumn weather. The long dry spell
was broken by some refreshing rain
falling during the past week which
has beer followed by a frost. The
farmers made good use of favorable
conditions with the result that they
have the greater part of their work
completed.
Our school is progressing nicely I'M

Among those who were guests az
the Joseph Keller home during the

and Mrs. William Frazee and daugh-
ter Helen, Mrs. Hobart Bishoff and

GOMPERS WOULD DESTROY U.
S. CONSTITUTION

A constitutional amendment, pro-
posed by the executive committee OF
the American Federation of Labor,
and which, Samuel Gompers an
nounces, will be introduced in Con-
gress Eat the earliest possible mo-
ment," aims at the overthrow of con-
stitutional government in the United
States.
Under the terms of the amendment
drawn by the Federations' counsel,
"the United States Supreme Court
will have the power to review an act
Of Congress and to declare such an
act unconstitutional, but in the event
that Congress a second time enacts
the legislation in question it will be
beyond the power Of the Court and
will stand as the final and unassaila-
BILE law of the land"
This dangerous amendment, if it
should become effective, would de-
stroy the stability of the country. It
proposes revolutionary way of
changing the Constitution-by act of
Congress instead of by the people ex-
pressing their will through the legis-
latures of the various states. Under
the Gompers' plan the Constitution
of the United States would become
the target in Congress of professional
propagandists and lobbyists. The
safeguards written into this great
instrument by the founders of the
republic would be demolished and the
Constitution would become a nullity.
The Constitution, in fact, would be, at
any particular time, just what a ma
jority of the members of Congress
happened to think it should be, or
should be politically coerced by spe-
cial interests into making it.
The founders of the republic real
lied the necessity for the erection of
bulwark to protect the people against
congressional invasion Of their rights
and liberties. The Supreme Court of
the United States is that bulwark. If
majority of Congress, at any time,
from any influence or under any mo-
tive, should attempt TO invade the
constitutional rights Of the American
people, the Supreme Court stands on
guard to protect the peoples rights.
If it were not for the Supreme Court,
Congress could be constantly setting
aside constitutional safeguards and
bulwarks of the people.
We amend our Constitution now bv
weight of public opinion. There is no
other way by which changes can be
effected; there should be no other
way The Gompers resolution re.
veals a deplorable misunderstanding
of the fundamental principles and
safeguards of the government of the
United States. 1t would scuttle the
glorious old ship of the Constitution.

JOBS FOR EX-SERVICE MEN.

In the process of restoring dis
abled soldiers and sailors to the &C.
onomic independence they all crave,
the providing of jobs for them is the
step that follows naturally and nee
essarily after the vocational training
that fits them for new occupations.
The task the United States veter-
ans bureau is undertaking to perform
through its newly organized employ
ment department, which has estab-
lished offices in all the larger cities of
the country. The bureau asserts that
it can supply to any trade or occu-
patton men with the special training
required.
In the view of most persons the
men who have been injured in the
service of the United States army or
nevy and who now ask employment
at work for which they are fitted,
have first claim on the consideration
of their fellow citizens. Managers
of the new employment bureau ask
employers to list their labor needs
of whatever kind, and they ask in full
confidence that the bureaus agencies
will prove valuable to employers as
well as to the ex-service men they are
designed to help.
