Mr.. Dubord pointed out the six
basic principles of the constitution
and they We're: representative gov

tee of individual liberty through con-
ststutional limitations; independent
Judiciary, joint power of president
and senate in determination of for
eign policies and the prevention of
the concentration of power in any one
man or body of men.
In closing he quoted President Cool
ldge as saying. The Constitution
represents a government of law
There Is only one other form of au-
thority, and that is government by
force. Americans must make their
choice. One signifies liberty and jus
tice: the other tyranny and oppres-
sion. To live under the constitution
of the United States. is the greatest
political privilege that was ever ac-
corded the human race"

High Schools Observe
18th Anniversary
Signing Constitution

The 137th anniversary of the sign
ing of the Constitution of the United
States was observed at the Junior
and Senior High schools yesterday
and the general assemblies. Carroll
n. Perkins addressed the students OF
the Junior high school on the Con-
stitution while F. Harold Dubord
spoke on the same subject at the
Senior high school. At both assem-
blies America" was sung and the
salute to the flag given.
Mr.. Perkins in his address declared
the constitution to be necessity and
in discussing the reasons why the
Constitutional Convention was held
he said that the great men OF the
country had come to realize that they
must come together and form some
central government which would
solidify the separate states and pro-
tect them from further oppression.
Mr.. Perkins told of the direct opposi-
teness of the opinions held by the diff
ferent factors of the convention and.
because of them, he said that the
Constitution was a compromise. :
The Fathers of the Country, Mr..
Perkins stated, were sailing unchart-
ed seas in drawing up the Constitu-
ton. Because they had no precedent
upon which to work they were faced
with many difficulties. The speaker
thought Benjamin Franklin to be a
truly great man and his influence as
a peace maker at the convention did
much to mould the nation into what
it is today In closing Mr.. Perkins
declared the Constitution to be one
of the greatest documents in the his
tory of the world and he called the
0f hi r16t IN
splendid manner in which it had
worked.
Mr.. Dubord in his address charac-
terized the Contitution as, 1.-The great
est document ever penned by man..
He briefly sketched the events that
led to the Constitutional convention
and he gave most interesting des-
cription of the conditions of the
country at the time of the Revolu-
ton.
