rule. The people themselves did not in i sist on a democratic constitution, and what was the result? Chaos, casfu- sion and disaster! They had ne .on- stitution; no fixed principles to guide them in the reconstruction of their government. Had they insisted, Rus sia would have gained the support of I the zentire civilized world to build up her shattered nation. A constitution would have assured the world of her good and definite intentions to form a stable government. Therefore, the value of good constitution.
 What has happened to Russia, would have happened to us, had not our fore fathers given us q constitution upon which to build. Through hundreds of trying ordeafs it has lived weathered the storms, and saved the country from the rocks of disaster 1t has stood every 1 test, and upon it's solid foundation of l justice and democracy, it has builded unto us a nation preeminent in. the world today. Not by any cruel war of conquest, such as Germany attempted, but by justice and fairness, principles laid down in our constitution, the moral power of our nation through out the world is greater than any army, and it's fruits greater than any bloody battle victory.
 Our democratic government is the oldest in existence; other governments have changed, and are continually changing; but our government under the constitution has steadily pro gressed until it is the star of hope to those bewildered nations grouping in darkness and despair.
 Sometimes things look dark to us. Not so very long ago the country hung it's head in shame, because, through disloyal officials betraying their trust, some interruptions and selfish inter ests bartered the peoples GOd-given resources for a mess of pOttage, or thirty pieces of silver. They did not rrspect the constitution. As repre-, sentative citizens it was their duty, and everybody's duty, to promote the general welfare of the people, instead of seeking individual gain at the ex- pense of the nation. They needed those lofty principles; those sacred ideals that the framers. of our constitution had. The ideals that inspired those illus trious American statesmen in 17S7 to frame constitution that gave the United States fOot-hold in the af- fairs of the world, are the same ideals fthat inspired Americans to respond in every possible way to the Presidents call to make the world safe for demOc racy. The framers of our constitution are dead; yet, their ideals lived. Will son, toos is dead yet his ideals for world democracy live.
 My greatest heritage is that am born an American, and live. under q constitution that guarantees me all those blessings of liberay that the fram CTS in their infinite wisdom provided. It is the greatest heritage of man kind to live under it's provisions, and it is with reverence and respect that we should uphold it.

Nearly every form of dis ease begins in the stomach and this has been proven in thousands of cases. It is the neglect of the first symptoms of rundown system which causes these troubles. Indigestion wreeks the en- tire nervous system, clogs up waste matter in the intestines, which in turn pois0ns the blood, half digested food in the stomach literally rots, forms poisonous gases and causes disease of all kinds.

of Juveniles.

BALTIMORE, April 8. The
principal two-year-old events at the
Pimlico spring meeting, May 1 to
ID, are the Juvenile and the Pimlico
Nursery, with $4,000 added to each,
both at four and half furlongs.
The Juvenile closes today. the
Pimlico Nursery closed last Sep
TENDER, with 435 entries in fifty
eight interests, and 1t is likely that
the best of these will take part in
both features, with the Nursery
staged on May 9, and the Juvenile
on Tuesday, May Is, the last day of
the meeting.
The Nursery is the older fixture,
dating to 1909, when Tom Melton
landed the prize for Samuel Ross.
In 1910 a Washington sportsman
again won the race, c. G. Smithson
being the lucky owner, and Singer
his color bearer.
August Belmont, chairman Of the
Jockey Club, was the winner two
years in succession, in 1911 and
1912, with the homebred Overman
and Rockview, feat duplicated by
Raj Parr in 1913 and 1914 with
Executor and The Masquerader, the
latter a more than useful colt.
In 1915 the Quincy Stable won
with Ting-a-ling, and Samuel Ross
in 1916 with Crank: then came J.
P. Jones Virginia Yell, in 1917; H.

S. Cosden's Lord Baltimore, in 1921;
Quincy Stables Frank G., in 1922,
and ]. s. Cosden's Yankee Princess,
in 1928.
From this list it will be seen
that the class in the Nursery has
been high, and there is no reason to
doubt it will be maintained in the
coming renewal in May.
