ton OF people who have believed that
the way of progress was by way of
destruction.
They are commonly in a minority,
but a distressingly active and deter
mined minority. They would begin
the reconstruction of human affairs
by tearing down everything that has
thus far been erected. 1t seems as
il well-nigh every generation in mod
ern times is destined to try some of
these experiments in reorganization
by the process of utter diSorganiZa-
ton. The eagerness of the extrem-
lists, the revolutionists, is unquench-
able. The only assurance against
their Vaccinations is to be found in
the inculcation among the people of
sound ideals of government. If we,
in our generation, shall succeed in
establishing among those who are to
come after US the full conception of
the obligation to reasonableness and
to moderation. the next generation
ing its way of life easier than ours
has been. That, I take it. is the
greatest collective wish of humanity
in every generation, as IT looks to the
generations that are to follow.
Measure OF Obligations.
"The purpose Of those who have
made possible this gathering tonight.
and of the long series of compeu-
tions which make up its background.
was to impress upon the youth of to-
day the full measure of their obliga-
tions and responsibilities TO tomor-
row. The studies, the readings, the
researches which have been inspired,
represent a real contribution to bet
ter understanding of our institutions.
They cannot possibly have failed to
direct the interest and the intellec-
tual activities of a great number of
young people toward the problems of
government and society. Those prob
lens require now and will continue
to require in the future the best in
telligence and effort that can be CIV
en- to them. Whatever shall serve as
inspiration in this direction is a
benefaction to the race. Convinced
as am OF the value of the studies
and interests which have led up to
this occasion, and which find
their climax in the competition of this
evening, / have to congratulate all
who have participated in making this
occasion possible. Particularly j
must felicitate these young men and
women who in the friendly competi-
ton of this hour will have opportu-
nifty to demonstrate the better un-
derstanding, the larger views that
have come to them through their
preparation for this occasion"

TOBACCO DAMAGE LIGHT.
Only Few Beds Destroyed in Ken
tucky, Says Growers Manager.

HoPK1NSvILLE, KY, June RE
ports Of extensive destruction of to-
bacco plant beds in Metcalfe and other
counties in the dark tobacco district
of western Kentucky and Tennessee
have been greatly exaggerated, Geoffrey
Morgan. field manager for the Dark
Tobacco Growers Cooperative Market
ing Association, declared here last
night.
Investigation BY officials of the as
sociation has disclosed few instances
Of plant bed destruction, Mr.. Morgan
said. but these were the result of local
differences or old personal grudges.
The investigators have been unable
to find any evidence of an organized
movement to ruin tobacco beds, MFR.
Morgan asserted. and no cons1dera ole
damage has been done. in so far as the
association has been able to determine.

THE CONSTITUTION OF THE
UNITED STATES.
BY RUTI NEwBURN,
Central High School, Washington
ID. C..

Central High school. Washington,
ID. c.
The, original manuscript Of the
Constitution of the United States
is document wild ch Americans cher
years it has been. without a perma-
| nent home. but at last it has found
| an appropriate rest ing-place. 1t has
| recently been ira nsferred to the
Library of Congress, where it rests
within an altar shrine. This manu-
script, however, is but the letter,
and would be valuehess If the spirit
of the Constitution were not en-
shrined within the heart of every
true American.
In order to appreciate fully this
remarkable document. we should be
familiar with the condition of the
colonies which made, necessary "a
more perfect union" and inspired the
founders of the Constitution to their
great undertaking. Let us turn, the
pages OF history in retrospect to the
period when the colonies were strug-
Cling for their independence. The
war was being carried ON at this
time by a Continental Congress. Not
until 1871 did the colonies pledge
themselves to ~ firm league of friend
ship" called the Articles of Confedar-
alton. Under this effort tE, establish
perpetual union" the states were ex-
tremely Jealous of each other. That
dual patriotism which every Ameri-
can has today for both hiss state and
the nation, was sadly lacking. The
Articles of Consideration provided
for a Legislative department.; but
Rlrtments. Congress had, the right
to do everything but tine power to
do nothing" Ii could not raise money
to pay debts; IT. could not arbftrate
boundary disputes. prevent tariff wars
between states, nor put down open
ness of this leagtte was made mani
fest. Washington wrote to = menu
Der of Congress, Let us have a
government by whitsh our lives, Hher-
ties and properties will be secure.
Leading men were convinced that the
only remedy for thet financial and
political disorders of the time Their
efforts in this direction resulted in
the caNing- OF a convention to revise
the Articles. of Confederation.
Among tho delegates to this con-
vention was to be fonnd nearly all
the ripest political experience that
this country then contahne1. Sew
eral of these delegates had had the
experience Of preparing rconstitu-
tions for the states. They ,also had
the advantage of judging tine merits
and defects of the state constitu-
tions after they were in on Grafton
Most of them felt that the M ere re-
vision of the Articles of Com 'edera-
ton would mott bring relief 4 to the

far they are we'll satisfied as the coal

persons prefer 1t to the Rock Springs

clinker a particle in burning. When
a depth as great as that In the Rock

NOAH carp DEAD

Noah carp died almost suddenly
at his home near the Gap of the
Rich Mountain, overlooking the town
Of Boone early yesterday morning.
His wife did not know he was sick
until a short time before his death,
heart trouble undoubtedly having
been the trouble.
The remains were inferred in the
town cemetery yesterday afternoon.
The death of the father leaves q wife
and four children with no means of
support, and they will probably be
taken to the county homo as soon
as is possible.
Noah carp was quiet inoffensive
man, and provided for his family
to the best of his ability. He was al
most a slave in his daily life, and
his not prospering was not his fault,
for he made the best of the talents
that were given him, chief among
which was a strong body and willing
hands. If no better, the world is GER
tainly none the worse for his having
sojourned here.
