DALEY DEALS
HARD BLOW TO
CONSTITUTION

One of the hardest blows suffered
by the forces advocating the new
constitution for Illinois came when
Senator Daley of Peoria, a republi-
can leader in the upper house of the
Legislature, declared his opposition to
the document proposed by the con
con-"
Senator Daley is known as one OF
the conservative members of the state
legislature. Yet he declares the pro-
posed constitution is too reactionary
for him, because it denies to the peo-
pie the right to establish whatever
form of government majority may
decide.
ut is deprivation of the peoples
right of self-goyernment, the most
valuable right of citizenship" Sena-
tor Daley says. Mr.. Daley asks the
people of the state to protect the
courts from the autocratic power
given to the judges of the Sunreme
court by the new constitution. AL
ready the prestige of the Supreme
court has suffered through the cam
paign for and against the constitu-
ton, he declares.
"My most serious objections are to
the Judiciary : article. | have the
highest regard for the ability, learn
ing and integrity of every member of
the Supreme court. Reverence for
this court has been almost a religion
with me. Because of this high regard,
| most emphatically protest against
a constitution that would degrade
that exalted court by giving it auto
cratic power, dragging it into the
mire of political. disputes, and max
ing it an agency for the disposal of
political patronage. Members of the
constitutional convention, instead of
honoring the Supreme court by its
proposed extended authority and
power, have in fact injured the pres
tige of that court by the very dis
cussions occasioned upon this pro-
posed article"

JUDGES OUT
AGAINST NEW
CONSTITUTION

Judge Charles 4. Mcdonald Of the
Superior court and Judge Donald l..
Morrill, Of the Appellate court Of the
first district has issued a statement
in opposition to the proposed new
constitution for Illinois.
Even the most enthusiastic propo-
nents Of the document admit that it
contains many things which they
would like to change, says Judge Nc
Donald. These Objectionable fea-
lures, as well as the omission of pro-
visions which large groups of citi-
zens demand, are ascTibed 10 the COM
promises that were made in the con
vention by the delegates.
The draft contains both good and
bad, and the people are called upon
to accept both. The people want
nothing but the best and they should
be allowed to get ii by having the
opportunity to reject certain parts if
they choose.
We are told that the mistakes in
the new constitution can be cured in
future years by amendment. We are
asked TO accept an imperfect docu-
ment today and amend it tomorrow.
If we are to go into the business of
why not amend the pres
ent constitution?
This whole matter could have beer
simplified by letting the people vote
on the new constitution section by
section, or article by article. A sim
pie way could have been found to re
fer to the voters important funda-
mental matters upon which the dele
gates found it necessary to compro-
mise. Thus the approval and amend
ing of the document would have been
accomplished at the same time.
There is so much that is objection
able in the proposed constitution that
its good points offer no inducement
to the people to substitute it for the
present constitution. | shall vote
against it. All interested citizens
should study the subject thoroughly
and express their intelligent views
thereon at the polls on Dec. ~.

S10,000,000 JOKER
SEEN In PROPOSED
NEW CONSTITUTION

A S10,0O0,000 joker in the proposed
new constitution was brought to light
by downstate lawyers who were in
Chicago to attend the State Bar AS
ISOLATION dinner on Saturday night
1t seems this provision. of the new
basic law is stirring up lot of dis
cussion.
This clause, under the canals and
waterways article, specifies that the
state shall be authorized to appropri-
ate $10,000,000 in addition to the
S20,000,000 bond issue already au-
thorized for the construction of the
deep waterway. The S10,000,000 may
be secured either all or in part by a
bond issue.
No vote of the people, no referen-
dunn, is provided on this enormous
sum to be appropriated and no spe-
cific provisions as to what fund il
shall come ont of is made. 1t merely
means that it will be an additional
tax burden upon the people, the law
yers declare, without their having
anything to say as to whether they
desire it or not, and without any
supporting arguments to show that
1t is needed in addition to the $780,
100000 already authorized and which
has not yet been expended and for
which contracts ON deep waterway
work have not yet been let.

THREE FORMER
JUDGES AGAINST
NEW BASIC LAW

Three former governors of Illinois
are opposed to the new constitution.
Gov. Small likewise is against it.
The three former governors are
Joseph w. Fifer of Bloomington, who
was state executive from 1889 to
1898; Richard Yates, 1901 to 1905,
and Edward F. Dunno, 1913 to 1917.
Fifer and Yates are republicans and
Dunno a democrat.
Mr.. Fifer was a member of the con-
stitutional convention that framed
the draft on which the people of the
state will vote on Dec. -. Out of
respect for his fellow delegates he is
refraining from an active campaign
against the proposed constitution,
but he has told his neighbors that he
will vote against it.
Gov. Small takes the position that
the matter is one in which the people
must pass judgment without partisan
bias. He has told his friends in his
home city of Kankakee that he will
cast his ballot against it.

READING OF BIBLE
N SCHOOLS WOULD
CREATE HATRED

Section Of the proposed new state
constitution, mas been readopled as II
reads in the old constitution, except
for the addition Of the last sentence,
it reads "the reading of selections
from any version Of the Old and New
Testaments in the public schools
without comment, shall never be held
to be in conflict with the constitu-
tion.n
In People ex. rel. Ring Y. Board Of
Education, 245 nj. 334 (19l0) the
Illinois Eupreme Court held that un-
der the constitution of 1870, Bible
reading even without comment in
public schools violates the guaran-
tee of free exercise and enjoyment
of religious profession and worship
without discrimination"
This new provision providing for
the reading Of the Bible in public
schools, the pupils in which school
belong to SO many different religious
lays the foundation
for introducing religious eontrover-
sizes into every school in every COM
munity in our state five days a week,
for nine months in every year.
OF course the basic law provides
that it should be read without COM
ment, but is there anyone with good
sense, who believes that such large
numbers of children can be kept from
commenting upon it? Everyone will
agree that they cannot be kept from
thinking about it--they cannot be
kept from speaking about it when
they go home, and they cannot be
kept from speaking about it in the
play grounds outside of the school
room.
There is no question but what it
will develop religious controversies
in many of the communities within
our state, and religious controversies
create more bitter prejudice and
hatred than any other kind of con-
trovefsies that there are.
Many wars in which hundreds of
thousands and millions of people have
oeen killed, and billions of dollars
worth of property destroyed, have
been brought about through the de-
velopment of religious controversies
such as this makes likely in our state,
and even if the extreme conditions
mentioned do not develop as result
of this situation, it will mean at
least suspicion, prejudice, hatred and
division amongst our people that will
keep them divided all the time, and
works to the injury of all the peo-
pie. No one knows what it may lead
to.

LEGISLATURE
WOULD BECOME

Section 92 of the proposed basic
law gives the Supreme Court original
jurisdiction over all questions of
great Importance.
Section SO gives the Supreme Court
power to make all rules of pleading,
practice and procedure in trying
cases before it. These two sections
taken in connection with each other,
give that court power to assume or
iginal jurisdiction over any case that
it sees fit and turns the common law
which can be construed by them to
mean rules of pleading, practice and
procedure-over to them to change
and to do with as they please. This

whatever into their own hands and
dispose of it in any way they see fit.

b. M. CHIPPERFIELD
RIDICULES NEW
CONSTITUTION

am opposed to the adoption of the
proposed new constitution for the
state of Illinois, and firmly believe
that if it were accepted by the people
of this state, many unfortunate re-
suits and much confusion would fol-
low as necessary and logical con-
sequence.
The constitution of a state should
be an unqualified and certain guaran-
ty of equal rights to all of its citi-
zens.
Any government, worthy of the
name, attempts to distribute equally
the burden of government and taxa
ton upon all of its people, endeavor-
ing to see that each one bears his
proper share and no more; that none
escapes or evades his part of the
duty of supporting and maintaining
such government.
After a careful study of the pro-
posed constitution, it is my opinion
that it is cunningly designed almost
from the first word to the last to pro-
tect the great interests, accumulated
wealth and powerful corporations,
by casting, TO an improper extent,
the burdens of government upon
those who are least able to bear them
and giving a special protection priv
ilege and exemption to those who are
best able to maintain the state and
who receive the greater share OF
benefit from it.

UNITED STATES
LEADS PERCENTAGE
OF ILLITERATES

Amazing as it may seem, the Unit
ed States has the largest percentage
of illiteracy of any of the leading ma
tions of the world, said County Super
intendent of Schools Watts in a
talk before the Moose lodge in this
city recently. He said the figures
show 6 per cent of illiteracy as
against less than 2 per cent for such
nations as England, Germany, Nor
way and Sweden.
This may partly be explained by
the fact that in Massachusetts, with
in a dozen miles of Harvard Univer-
sity, there are in the textile mills
men and women 60 years old who
have never seen the inside of school
house. In the non-union mining dis
tricts of Pennsylvania (where organ
lied labor has been put in its place
and kept there") children from to
10 years of age are employed in
mines contrary to law. In the south
ern states children of tender age
are compelled to work at looms IL
hours a day.
And Judge Taft has ruled that
child labor laws are unconstitutional
