The executive power of govern
ment is invested in the President
of the United States.
To be eligible for this exalted Of
flee one must be native born citi-
zen of the United States and at
least % years of age. The term
of office is for six years. When a
president is chosen, likewise a vice.
president is selected, fho must have
the same qualifications as the pres
ident. The vice-president presides
over the Senate, but is not permit
ted to vote unless there is tie vote
in the Senate, in which case he can
break it. Upon the death of the
president he succeeds him.
The president Of the United
States is the most influential man
in all the world. he is the com
mander-in-chief of the army and
navy of>the United States. He rep
resents the United States in all
diplomatic relations with foreign
governments and can make treaties
with them subject to the approval
by a two-thirds vote of the Senate.
with the exception of Senators and
Congressman he appoints all feder-
al officials, judicial and otherwise,
subject to confirmation by the Sen
ate. The duty devolves upon him OF

He can convoke Congress III eAtre
ordinary session, he selects ambas-
sailors and ministers to foreign ma
tions and the duty rests upon him OF
seeing that the acts of congress are
duly executed and that law, order
and constitutional government are
maintained throughout the United
States. The United States guaran-
tees the various states against in
vasion or attack from foreign foes
and is obligated to aid the states in
preserving law and order within
their boundaries when they are UNI
able to do it. The president is
charged with this responsibility.
The president and vice-president
are not elected by a direct vote of
tn people but by the electoral col
lege. Each state is entitled to one
vote in this college, for each of its
Senators and Congressman.
The college now consisting OF
531 votes and a majority of this
number is required to elect Presi-
dent and vice-president. On a
named date throughout the United
States the people elect by popular
vote their electors, and these cleo

dual system of government, feder-
al and state and each is sovereign
in all matters within their respec-
tive jurisdiction.
The federal government is one
of delegated powers and has auth
GRITTY only over those matters
specifically entrusted to it by the
constitution itself. All other
powers, duties and privileges are
preserved to the state. Thus it
follows that the states are a law
unto themselves in the regulations
and central of all intra state mat
tiers (affairs solely within the
state) therefore they are supreme
in local governmental functions
which insures local self govern
ment The states have their own
governors, legislatures, courts and
officials, have power to levy taxes
to maintain their government, is
entrusted with the duty of MAIN
tanning law and order in their re-
spective domains and to see that
the life, liberty and property of its
citizens and aliens residing there,
in, is preserved and protected.
In all matters except those volun-
tariIy surrendered to the federal
government for the common well
fare Of all the states, each state is
complete sovereign and all-power-
full. The great constitution is the
bulwark that preserves these rights
to the states, for should the fed
eral congress pass any law abridg-
ing them, any self respecting court
of the land would unhesitatingly
declare the law unconstitutional
for congress can only legally act
in those matters entrusted to it by
the Constitution.
The Federal government having
been created by the constitution
and its authority limited by it, let
US now discuss its character and
form. It's powers are divided into
three distinct coordinate branches,
the legislature, executive and
judicial. Our government is one
Of checks and balances, insuring
that each coordinate branch of it
must act within the constitution.
If the legislative branch by politi-
cal exigencies is induced to do
things illegally, the executive by
Veto, or the judiciary by declaring
the act unconstitutional can undo
the wrong.
If the executive branches vio-
late the law the legislative and
judicial branches can stop it and
if the judiciary branch usurps I'M
lawful power, the legislative
branch by impeachment can remove
from office the offender.
The legislative duties devolve
upon congress which is composed of
two coordinate houses, the senate
and House of Representatives,
Both are elected by a direct vote
of the people, Senators for a term
of six years, Representative for
two. To be eligible, a Senator
must be 80 years of age, a Con-
gresham rs, and must be residents
of the state from which they are
elected.
Each house of congress is the
sole and exclusive judge of the
qualifications and election Of its
members and can make rules for
its own deliberation. All legislative
matters are entrusted to congress,
the house being equal with this ex-
ceptiop, that all tax or revenue mat
tiers must originate in the house

New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Della
ware and Virginia, a majority of the
states not being represented, moth
ing could be done.
) Hon. Alexander Hamilton of New
York, one of the ablest statesmen
of the times, and the patron saint
of the Republican party drafted a
resolution which was adopted, call
ing a convention Of the states to
meet in Philadelphia in May 1887.
The continental congress on
Feb. 21st, 1877 passed resolu-
ton approving the convention. The
states acquiesced and appointed
delegates and the convention as
sembled in Philadelphia on May
rs, 1887 with seven states repre-
scented.
Gen. George Washington was
unanimously chosen president of
the convention. The convention
was in session from that date un-
til Sept. II, 1887 when the con-
situation was finally agreed upon,
engrossed and signed by all the
delegates, except three, two of them
being from Virginia. At times the
convention was acrimonious and
seemed doomed to failure. Alex
ander Hamilton came to it with
a constitution in his pocket, but it
favored the rich influential and
was too Democratic and ignored
the masses.
Gov. Randolph of Virginia had
a constitution duly prepared but 1t
was too Democratic and ignored
the classes, so neither of these two
constitutions found favor with the
assembled delegates.
After weeks of wrangling Ben
jamin Franklin, suggested that
the delegates invoke Divine guild
ance in settling their differences.
The suggestion was followed and
harmony began to prevail and fin
ally the greatest governmental
document ever written in any age
or tongue was agreed upon.
Speaking to a Southern audience
it is with pride that | recall that
it was written by Hon. James Madl-
son. Jr., of Virginia, a Southerner.
The greatness of this matchless
document does not consist in its
diction or the manner in which it
is written or the mere fact that it
is a written constitution but in its
wonderful grasp and conception of
human rights and how it preserves
to individual those priceless inal-
ienable rights of personal freedom
and liberty, and how it protects
them in the enjoyment of their
lives property and the pursuit of
happiness.
This constitution is the founda-
ton stone upon which the Ameri-
can Republic is builded and it is
the supreme law of the land. I'm
der its wise and beneficent provi,
sion our country has grown and
prospered until today it is the
leading nation on earth. Our con,
stitution is immortal and has COM
manded the admiration and re-
spect of the wisest men of every
country and generation since its
adoption, When we consider it's
history it is truly marvellous.
Agreed to by our forefathers 1876
years ago last Monday, Sept. IT,,
1887 it has only been amended

people, established more than
century ago, it has demonstrated it
was not only ideal for them, but
that it is also ideal for this day
and generation. 1t is truly marve-
lous what wisdom, what vision
our forbears possessed and l am
constrained to believe that the God
of our fathers directed and con-
trolled their deliberations.
Let me call your attention to the
nineteen amendments that have
been adopted to it. The first ten
of these amendments were inspir-
ed largely by the same men who
drafted the constitution. The very
first Congress after the adoption
of the constitution which was held
in 1889 proposed them to the
states and they were promptly
ratified and became a part of the
constitution. These ten amend
ments are commonly known as
our bill Of rights. They guarantee
to us freedom to worship God ac-
cording to the dictates of your con-
science, freedom Of speech and of
the press, the right of the people
to peaceably assemble and to petit
ton the government for redress
of grievances. Authorizes the
maintenance of militia and gives
the people the right to bear arms;
guarantees the sacredness of the
home, insuring that in peace time
no soldier can be quartered in any
private house and that no home
can be invaded by officers and
searched, without a search war
rant.
Prevents any citizen from being
tried for a capitol offense, unless
indicted by a grand jury and re-
quires that he be furnished a copy
of the Indictment and the names
of the witnesses testifying against
him and gives him the right to
cross-eXamine them and guarantee
a speedy, impartial trial by a jury
of his peers and the right to have
counsel Provides that no one shall
be held for excessive bail and pre-
vents excessive fines and cruel and
punishments.
The 18th amendment adopted in
1894 dealt with judicial proceed
dure in the courts.
The 18th adopted in 1903 slight
~ amended the constitution rela-
tive to the elecoral college, to
which l shall refer later.
The constitution was not again
amended from 1903 until 1865
when the thirteenth, fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments were
adopted.
These amendments grew out of
the war between the States and re-
lated to the former negro slaves,
comforting full citizenship upon
them.
The 10th amendment was adopt
ed Feb. IS, 1913 and authorized
the laying and collecting of an in
come tax.
The 18th amendment changed
the method of electing senators,
which was adopted May 31st, 1918
Under the original constitution,
Senators were elected by the leg
islatures of the States. The 18th
amendment conferred upon the
people themselves the privilege of
selecting their senators by di-
rect vote.
The 18th amendment adopted
Dec, II 1918 is the much dis
cussed prohibition amendment
which prohibits the importation,
manufacture or sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors.
The 10Th amendment ratified
May 10, 1919 is the amendment
in which the ladies are vitality in
terested for it removed all of their
political disabilities, gave them the
right to vote and conferred full
citizenship upon them.

mental law of our land, we have a

United States will defend its cham.
ponship honors on foreign fields and
waters.
While the final Davis Cup matches
will be held in this country again
with America defending its team
title, leading contests in golf, yacht
ing and track and field sports will
be staged on the other side.
The Walker Cup. emblematic OF
the amateur team golf championship
successfully defended here last season
by America, will be contested for on
British links, but unless several stars
change their minds before spring, It
is unlikely that the United States will
be able to muster it's strongest array
for the invasion in May
The American amateurs also will
compete in the British individual
tournament while several of Amer
ica's foremost professionals are ex-
pected again to take part in the
British open championship, won last
year by Walter Hagen. American
homebred star. At present it is
doubtful if any organized British in
vasion for the principal golf events
in this country will be made.
Contests for both the British
American cup, team trophy, and the
Seawanhaka- Corinthian Cup, indi-
vidual trophy, among six-metre
yachts, both will be staged in Scot
fish waters in August. The team cup
was won off Long Island last summer
by American craft but the individual
yacht prize was carried overseas by
