1877 ANNIVERSARY

Gov. X. A. Nestos, in a proclama-
ton issued today, sets aside Wednes-
day, September II, as Constitution
Day. In his proclamation, Governor
Nestns urges upon the citizens of
the state the necessity of know
ledge of the basis of the government
of the United States.
The proclamation follows:
PROCLAMATION
The seventeenth day of September,
next, will mark the one hundred and
adoption of the constitution Of the
United States. 1t has made it posi-
BILE for America to develop with amaz-
ing rapidity in everything that makes
for national strength and the well
fare of it's people. Of this document,
Jameat Bryce said; -.
ct. ranks above every other
written constitution for the in
trinsic excellence of its scheme,
it's adoption to the circumstances
of the people, the simplicity,
bEevity and precision of it's Ian
guage, and the judicious mixture
Of definition in principle with
elasticity in detail
It is most important that all our
people know our fundamental law in
timately, the origin and meaning Of
its various provisions, the history of
their adoption, and the course of
legislative application and judicial
Interpretation by which life and
meaning have been given to its i'm
mortal provisions
There are many voters who do not
know the constitution; there are
many radicals and reactionaries who
in their selfishness, greed, and per-
verified appetites viciously assault it.
1t is very desirable that every day
Of the year be constitution day
We hope our citizenship will never
cease to be alive to the meaning, the
value, and the duty to defend the
constitution alike against avowed
enemies and selfish friends. 1t has
been a stimulus to patriotism, to set
aside the anniversary of the adoption
of the constitution as a special day
for the more serious consideration OF
it's Significance and of what it has
contributed to the greatness of the
Reuublic and to the happiness Of the
individual citizen.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, r. A. Mes
tos, Governor of the State of North
Dakota, do hereby designate and SCI
aside
SEPTEMBER II, 1924
CONSTITUTION DAY
and especially urge that not onl,
during this day, but during the whole
of the week beginning September
14th. the constitution of the United
States be read and studied CAREFUL!
in our schools and colleges and at al
public meetings.; and that individual
ly and in groups we make a definite
and specific study of it's origin, plan
history, and Interpretation; and
again. resolve that we will support
and defend this charter of our liber-
ties and the institutions of society
established hereunder, with our
life, our property and our sacred
honor.
Dated at the capitol at Bismarck

GERMAN BEE
INDUSTRY GOOD

Berlin, Aug. 20.-The bee industry
of Germany, which sent approximate
ly 100000 bees to France AS part of
reparations in kind under the peace
treaty, is virtually normal again, ac-
cording to reports of apiculturists.
This has been accomplished chiefly
by favorable weather conditions, and
the development of queen rearing
apiaries which are being operated
on a larger scale than ever before.

WILBUR ROCKS BOAT

Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, it appears, has been talking too much. This is given as the reason by Wash ington observers as to why he was recalled to Washington by President Coolidge from the Pacific coast,
 The president had on his table a speech that the secretary was to have given in Denver last Saturday A telegram was sent him to return to Washington at once anda the secre- tary hoped in an airplane to catch . fast trans-continental train. The Denver speech will not be given.
 Speeches the secretary had given on the Pacific coast had irritated the administration, it is said in Washing ton. He made remarks which were construed as attacks upon the Jap anese and he is said to have ridi- culed the enforcement of the dry law. This is no way for a cabinet member to conduct himself, in the opinion of the president, and when lie returns to the capital the navy secretary probably will be given a set of instructions to guide his conduct in the future.

FOOTING OUR OWN HORN

New England week is being observ- ed throughout the northeast tier of states this week. It has as it's ob- ject an attempt to emphasize New England products to New England consumers and undoubtedly will stimulate interest in the multitude of products in this section of the coun- try.
 The movement to ''selp' New Eng land to New Englanders is not nar- row sectionalism. It is something that is essential in view of past con- servatism in this respect. From a publicity standpoint, New England has Jagged behind other manufac- turing sections of the country. This section must not only toot its horn throughout the country. emitting louder and more resounding blasts than ever before, but it is necessary that the footing be also done in the home acres.

NEW BRTTAIN'S EXPORTS IN
 NEW ENGLAND'S RECORD

Exports of New England states during the second quarter of this year have shown a healthy increase, and it is to be noted that the increase for Connecticut has been largely made possible by greater exports of hardware.
 Connecticut has advanced from 2sth to 18th place In the exporting states, and official announcement from the department of commerce in Washington is that the jump is due in large part to the value of hardware that has been exported from this state. It can be aassumed that New Britain, therefore gave stalwart aid in advancing the repu- tation of the Nutmeg state as an ex- porter of goods.
 The state exported nearly $9,5O0,- poO worth or goods during the sec ond quarter of this year. Massachu- sets during that period exported nearly sS1, 100000 in goods, keeping the lead for New England by a large margin. The Bay state is ninth in the list of exporting states. Rhode Islands figures for the quarter total slightly more than $S,5OO,G00.
 By dint of its population, varied manufactures and location, New York remains the leading exporting state: but her immediate followers form surprise. Texas is in second place, and all they export there is cotton and oil when the American surplus of oil gets too big; those who trail behind the leaders are Penn sylvania, New Jersey, California, Louisiana, Michigan and Illinois.

RUM SHIP ADRIFT
 IN BOSTON HARBOR
Crew Deserts It When PurSued--
 Four Arrested

Boston, Sept. 17.-A midnight chase through Boston harbor os a sea-going tug, carrying several thou sand gallons of liquor, by a United States customs boat ended early this morning when the crew of the rum runner steered their craft to a dock and three or four jumped ashore, leaving their vessel to pursue a crazy course through the roadstead.
 The customs boat, the Dreamer, overhauled the unpiloted rum run ner and her crew boarded the tug the g. C. Hart-takirg as a prize the vessel with her cook, the chief en- gineer and two seamen and her car go of rum and alcohol packed in crates and tins. The pilot and the deck crew who jumped safely to the dock as she bumped by, escaped by a dash to Atlantic avenue and the dark side streets along the water front.
 The four members of the crew captured were detained by the po- lice on charges of violating federal customs laws, and were questioned by Deputy Surveyor of Customs Thomas Finnegan, who said that he had had the $. c. Hart under sur veillance for some time. Last night the tug headed for rum row, Finne- gan said, and the Dreamer lay in wait for her. Just before midnight, the rum runner nosed her way into the harbor. Once the customs boat had her bottled up in the harbor, lights were shown and the pursuit taken up. As soon as the tug be- came aware Of the federal boat, she put on full steam. Realizing that the Dreamer was gaining and the tug was hemmed into the inner harbor, the pilot of the Hart headed for the wharf. AS the tug came abreast of the wharf, the pilot signalled the en- zine room to shut off the engines and made a jump for the dock, fol- lowed by the others. With no hand at the wheel, the boat waved and rolled crazily, A brief chase brought the Dreamer alongside. Federal of ficers. boarding the tug, took over the wheel and arrested the four men left aboard who surrendered without l resistance.
 The S. c. Hart halls from Boston and is owned by the Trident Towing company. She was seized by the fed | eral authorities.

oNE-MAN CARS AND BUssEs

Connecticut cities of size which object 10 the one-man trolley car system will be interested in learn ing that pursuant to a policy of re- trenchment inaugurated by the troll Icy lines in Worcester, Mass, the second city in size in Massachusetts, all lines in the city are now of the one-man variety, Opposition was strenuous, but the company had its way about 1t and and the net re- suit is more profit to the company. increased delay and poorer service to the public, and the loss of quite number of street car employees. It has not yet been definitely decided whether it is advisable to operate two-men cars during the rush hours, however as the company Is dubious about handling rush traffic in such a large city entirely with one-man contraptions.
 Retrenchmcnt plans include the discontinuance of four county lines which once were highly paying propositions, but which have been sadly neglected by the public since the use of automobiles became con- mon and because bus lines were per- mitted to compete with the trolley company, which Is permissible in Massachusetts.
 If a similar condition existed in Connecticut as to lack of control of bus line competition with trolley lines, large percentage of the vil- lage lines of the Connecticut com- pany would be driven to the wall in a short time. The attitude of the public utility commissions in Massa- chusetts and Connecticut differs on this point, however; in the Bay State competition under certain cir cumstances appears to be permitted, while in the Nutmeg State direct competition with the trolleys is not allowed, and even the New Haven railroad chips in with objections against bus lines occasionally. The Connecticut system will tend to per- init the trolley lines 1o sur- Tive longer; the Massachusetts sys- tenn is in the nature of death blow to lines attempting to serve the smaller cities and rural sections. Losses to the stockholders of the Massachusetts lines does not seem to be taken into consideration.

MACMILLAN THE MIGHTY

When Captain Donald Baxter Mac Milan, perpetual Arctic explorer, re- turns from bound portions of the globe he brings with him more than mcmentoes, curios and Eskimo dogs. He gives his sea-going trous- CTS a sailor-like hoist, plants his right foot for'ard to steady himself and tells a story calculated to knock the pins from under us safety-first landlubbers who never do anything more dangerous than ride in an automobile.
 The man who likes to live in the Arctic better than following hun drum existence amidst ecfete civili- zation, returned aboard the good ship Bowdoin to his port of cal' Sydney, Nova Scotia, yesterday. An enterprising reporter was on hand and Captain MacMillan showed the world how to talk for publication in an entertaining manner.
 He told us about Eskimo fappers, but whether they had bobbed hair was left to the imagination. That there was surplus of flappers over available young men, however, he was certain, reversing the situation of former years. He had heard over the radio that white Indians" had been found in South America, and the 1 claim amused him considerably, in- asmuch as he found similar half 1 breeds himself. He did not talk in riddles when he said that such finds indicated that white men had found | their way into native habitats before and had intermarried with native women.
 This passionate lover of glaciers, perpetual snows and icebergs brought with him a radio mystery that must baffle the experts. The eastern stations rarely got a word through to him, while the Pacific coast stations were usually clear, and one amateur code dispatcher in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, was the one reliable relay operator on the entire continent. The radio experts can be expected to give opinions about this phenomenon for a week.
 When one jourheys so far up north one meets nearly everyone living there, and it was no surprise to have met the guide of Dr. Cook, the al- legged discoverer Of the North Pole who couldn't prove his claims The guide let fly a merry guffaw over the story Cook had cooked for the world and related how the hoax artist had spent the winter of the polar dash or an island 500 miles to the south oi the pole. As distances go up thaf way, we had not supposed Cook wal even that close to it.
 Captain MacMillan will make an other trip into the ice country nex year.. In two years from now. i eYestbihs goes well, he will have re

action to prevent the execution can not be taken until five days before the date for execution. when the state pardon board will meet.
 In Chicago, where Judge CaverA in the Leopold Loeb decision said ( humane application of the law in Illinois opposed the death penalty for minors, 1t was found that Bernard Grand, 19 years old, is awaiting execution for murder. He was poor boy and Clarence Dar- TOW did not defend him.
 But that Isn't all, In Chicago there Is another youth, Walter Krauser 20, who is to bo hanged for murder The Chicago Tribune two days ago published an editorial saying 1t was unfair to hang the Grant and Krauser youths after the Leopold and Loeb sentence to life lmprison- ment." Efforts to have their sen-. tences commuted to life imprson- ment are under way,
 Judge Caverly's reasoning in the Leopold decision is being att tackled as contradicting itself on two points. In his decision he declared:
 This determination (his dcci-
 sion to infiict life imprisonment
 appears to be in accordance with
 the progress of criminal law all
 over the world and with the dic-
 tates Of enlightened humanity"
 Later in the same decision, he said:
 But to the offenders, particu-
 larly of the type they are, the
 prolonged suffering of years of
 confinement may well be the
 severer form of retribution aud
 expiatioa."
 In other words, between two forms of terrible punishment he selected what he regarded as the more severe form for the youths.
