relation between . people and their government that human mind has ever conceived. In the words of William l Pitt at the time, 1t will be the wonder and admiration of all future genera. tions and the model for all future con atituti0ns."
 Nc Department Supreme Our Constitution, the supreme law of the land gave us . government with its representatives elected at certain fixed intervals with authority delegated to three departments the legislative, the executive, and the judicial. But the startling fact for the first time in the history of the world was that no one department was supreme, that each department served as a check and a balance on the other, and the final SUI pFeEns power wac in the hands of the people. In other words it provided that thQse who made the laws could not administer them and those who sdministered could not judge them and gave the supreme power to the gov erned.
 The greatest and noblest purpose of the Constitution, however, is it's pro- teetion of our individual liberty, Built of the fundamental principle that liberty ia not license but that it is essentially matter of self-control, the restraint of the impulse to do to others what we would not have done to us.
 To quote Randolph Leigh, "No world power of the present time has a gov ernmsnt which reaches back without q break as far as ours. France, Japan, Germany, Russia, Austria, Italy have all experienced tempestuous changes in government since the adoption of our Constitution. France has made the circuit from half-hearted representative government to moh0eraey and then to deapotiam twice. Germany has been swept through many stages from petty deapotism and centralized aboslutism to the chaos of today. Russia has passed from absolutism to democracy to Sovietism-the most permanent characteristic in that land having been the bread line"
 Nethfng to Offer
 In other words, Europe has little to offer but warnings in the matter of government; as whole Europe is hardly as far along governmentally as the thirteen states were under the loose articles of confederation, And yet, friends, at this very moment theorists and experimenters are de- manding that we change our form of government. The governmental fail ures are telling us we are wrong.
 Il ask you fellow citizens, shall we listen to them, shall we exchange our freedom of speech, for ga government where the newspapers can print only what pleases those in power; shall we exchange the sancitity of private pro- perty for absolute confiscation by the state; shall we exchange our religious freedom for the bloody massacres of Christians by the Turks2

 We are living today in a beautiful land stretching from the snows of ths south, sweeping from the Atlantic to land of peace and freedom.
 But we are apt to forget what it is that has given us this great heritage. We have been free so long that free dom is unnoted and hardly prized.
 Peace and order have preserved the opportunity for useful and happy lives, have preserved safe and contented homes, freedom of religion, freedom of thought, freedom of speech, independent manhood and womanhood, the right to rule the conduct of ones life 50 long that we forget whence these blessings came. They came ''by a system of gov ernment maintained by the resolute loyalty of a great people" If this system of government fails, is destroyed, something else will come. We cannot tell what it will be but in the words of Elihu Root this we do know Tt will not be that system of government which has preserved our. peace, order and se- eurity, opportunity and prosperity; this will no longer protect us"
 Some of us do not realize that not many years ago mans limbs were beat en and broken and their faces branded with hot irons because they chose to think as individuals, that men were shipped into slavery because they con- tested the Godliness of self-styled superior. Against such abuses these im- mortal words of the Declaration of h. dependence were written which declare that all men have certain inalienable rights to secure which governments are instituted among men. This deeiara- ton joined issue with all the theories of government since the world began. The theories of all the monarchies and an- eient republics were that the state was the main thing, that the king could do no wrong and that the rights of the individual were derived from the state {; but the Declaration of Independence declared that all men were created equal, the inalienable rights gre those of the individual and that the state is organ ized to secure these ends.
 But a thousand noble declarations of principles have been made and passed into the mists of oblivion with no eff feet. For no mere declaration of prin- ciples can be effective unless upheld by certain practical, specific and definite rules to give life to those principles.
 So, under the loose and meaningless

If you happen to have some chicken manure by all means use it now. It's effect is almost immediate when 1t ia applied as a side dressing to sweet corn. The plants will take jump that will surprise you. You can work the naa- nure into the soil along the rows, and then dissolve it by applying water with the hose, or you can put it into bag and soak it in a bucket or barrel of water may be made from pulverized state to feed the plants. Onions also respond quickly to the use of manure water and poultry manure.

If you dig away an inch or two of earth in a well cultivated garden, even in a dry season, you will find moist soil. If the surface has been allowed to become baked you will find only dust. Too much emphasis cam not be laid on the necessity of culti- vation from now on. Don't make a mistake, though, thinking that you have to get down deep. It is only the surface soil which should be stirred, If you so deeper than two inches, you are very 1iksly to cut to many of the roots and so do more harm than good. This is especially true of such crops as corn, beans and tomatoes. Even potatoes forge closer to the surface than most amateur gardeners realize.

had undertaken the impossible task of officially supporting every form of idol worship. So extravagant were his efforts that the national treasury was giving way under the strain.
 He levied a new tax. His messen- gers on horse back were sent along the magnificent military roads through out the land, proclaiming that all the world should be taxed.
 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee out of the city of Nazareth into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, to be taxed, with Mary"
 And even while Joseph and Mary were at Bethlehem, the appointed place for paying the tax and ~ being listed in the census, the greatest event in the history of the world occurred.
 The event was unheralEed at Rome, filled as it was with the profound sig nificance, not only for the Roman em- pire, but for the world.
 When the shepherds watching their flOcks out there on the Judean hills that night, beheld the strange new star vending its way westward, they looked upon the sign and symbol of the new light, the new power which should cause heather temples to be deserted and left to decay, with owls and bats nesting among their broken rafters {; which should convert the household of the Roman emperor himself, and which should change the complexion of the whole world and mark the real begin ming of genuine civilization.

Aldermen Ask Utility Com
panies to Clear Smith
Street at This Time
STREET IS TORN UP
Public Service Has Not Yet
Promised to Remove Many
Wires and Poles

Now that the section of Smith
street from state street to the Cen
tral Railroad tracks is being torn
up prior to the laying OF new pave
ment the city is endeavoring to have
all of the utility companies. which
now have overhead wires along that
street, remove them in order to I'M
prove the appearance of the street
and lessen the danger from failing
wires.
The Lions Club last year started
agitation here for the removal OF
overhead wires and poles from the
two principal streets, Smith and
State. The aldermen were petitioned
to carry on the elimination of wires
and poles and when the decision to
pave part of Smith street was reach
ed the aldermen decided it was an
opportune time to commence remov-
ing wires and poles from the city's
principal business thoroughfares.
The aldermen authorized City
Clerk Philip Costello to communi-
cate with the Public Service Com
pany, the New York Telephone Com
pany and the Western Union Tele-
graph Company relative to removing
their wires and poles on the portion
of Smith street which is to be paved.
Acknowledgements of the COM
munications were received recently.
The telephone company explained
thar it has no poles on this section
of Smith street. the telegraph COM
pany Informed the city that 1t plan
ned to remove its wires and the
Public Service Company reported re-
ferring the matter to the proper
department. The Public Service
wires and poles outnumber all
others and by bringing about their
removal the aldermen feel they will
have accomplished much to enhance
the appearance of the street. This
company has not as yet given any
definite reply as to whether or not
1t will carry out the city's wishes
In order that the city may not be
considered a violator of the wire
less and poleless" Smith street slo-
gan. the matter of removing the fire
alarm and police call system wires
from overhead and placing them
underground has been taken up with
City Electrician Jay B. FRANKIE ana
it is understood the changes will be
made.
The newly organized Chamber of
Commerce will likely assist in the
agitation to improve the appearance
of the main business streets by the
removal of wires and poles.
