it would be the First Amendment to
the Constitution, which guarantees
free speech. a free press, and the
right to worship God according to
the dictates of ones conscience. But
such are the effects of war upon the
Constitution, such are the effects of
war in breeding hate and intolerance,
that men are in prison today and
have been for six years in absolute
violation of the fundamental princi-
pies of the First Amendment to the
Constitution, men there, not for
violence, not for assaults upon life
or property, but for the expression
of their political views.
but what is even more startling.
they are there without any legal
evidence upon which to hold them.
l would count myself a whining
hypocrite to come here this evening
to insist upon the enforcement Of
the Eighteenth Amendment and re-
main silent upon the utter disregard
of the First Amendment If l can
not speak for the Constitution as
whole, | should not speak at all.
And if l do not respect the Consti-
tuition as whole, am unfit to speak
in behalf of any part of it.
THE Eighteenth Amendment is
the storm center now of the ConSti-
tuition. 1t is in the Constitution
after years of agitation and dis
cussion, after 80 states had already
adopted statewide prohibition laws,
after long debates in the Congress,
after consideration by the State
legislatures and after ratification by
As states of the Union.
Surely no one can candidly claim
that this Amedment is in the Consti-
tuition by accident or as a result of
undue haste. Indeed, the Fathers
were exceedingly wise in providing
for great deliberation in the matter
of amending the Constitution. Now
that the Amendment is there and so
long as it remains there. it is vital
to the cause of good government, to
the cause of Constitutional govern
ment and to the cause of law and
order that it be lived up to and
maintained in all it's integrity.
There can be. in my Judgment, no
more vital problem presented to a
free people than the problem of
whether or not they can uphold and
maintain the written Constitution
under which they live.
THE duty of the State relative to

too readily yielded. 1t feeds law
lessness like the poison of the
swamp gives the germs of disease.
1t is libel on the whole theory of
the American Union. 1t is an in
dictment of the whole superb scheme
of 1889.
There is very active campaign
being carried on by a certain class of
people and certain organizations
against the reds and pinks and
radicals. in all the literat ure touch
ing upon these subjects. there is to
be found always an encomium upon
our Constitution and a most severe
denunciation of those who fail to
appreciate its worth or live in har-
mony with, its principles. The Jail,
the penitentiary. exile. these are the
punishmcnts invoked for men who
walk not in the light of this noble
instruments Now think these pco-
pie are; doing a good service by con-
stantly' calling attention to the
inestimable worth of our funda-
mental law and,-what its defiance or
destruction means. Too much can
not be said upon this subject A
man who comes to these shores and
knowingly violates our fundamental
law. is most unworthy creature.
But he is not so reprehensible, so
much to be criticized. it seems to me.
as the man who has been reared in
this country. who has had an oppor-
tunitv to know the beneficent worth
of our institutions. who has witness
ed the worth through all these years
of our Constitution and who still dis
regards or defies some particular
provision or amendment because it
runs counter to his personal interests
or personal vices. I make bold to
say that many, not all of course, of
this very class of people who are
deeply concerned. and justly so,
about these who make war upon
established governments and who
would Jail or eXpel the untutored
foreigner because of his senseless
jargon about communism are them
selves constantly disregarding or
violating the fundamental law Of the
land.

Recommends Daily Use Of Maanesla To
Overcome Trouble Caused by Fer
mentlng Food and Acid
Indigestion

Gas and wind IN the stomach. accom-
panied by that full bloated feeling
after eating are almost certain evil
dence of the presence of excessive hy-
drochlOric acid in the stomach, creating
so-called ''acid indigestion"
Acid stomachs are dangerous because
too much acid irritates the delicate lin
ing OF the stomach. often leading to
gastritis, accompanied by serious stom-
ach ulcers. Food ferments and sours
creating the distressing gas which. dis
tends the stomach and hampers the
normal functions OF the vital internal
organs. often affecting the heart.
II is the worst Of folly to neglect such
a serious condition or TO treat with or
binary digestive aids which have no
neutralizing effect on the stomach
acids. Instead get from any druggist a
few ounces OF Bisurated Magnesia and
take a teaspoonful In a quarter glass of
water right after eating. This will
drive the gas wind and bloat right ont
OF the body. sweeten the stomach. neu-
tralize the excess acid and prevent It's
formation and there is no sourness or
pain. Bisurated Magnesia (in powder
or tablet form-never liquid or milk
is harmless TO the stomach. inexpensive
TO take and the best form OF magnesia
for stomach purposes. 1t is used bv
thousands Of people who enjoy their
meals with no more fear OF indigestion.
