On Tuesday afternoon Col. James
HI. Johnson, who had wide circle Of
friends, peacefully closed his eyes in
death at his lovely home, $3.50 Prairie
avenue, and started on his long jour
ney east on the square.
For many years Col. Johnson was
the lieutenant colonel Of the old Eighth
Regiment, Illinois National Guard,
and was the real backbone and the
military genius Of that famous organi-
cation.
He bravely served in four wars or
military expeditions. He first served
on the far western frontiers, in some
very severe skirmishes with the In
dams in 1891, being at that time con-
nected with the Ninth Cavalry, u. S.
"A. He CALAMITY fought in Cuba, in
the Spanish-American War in 1898;
he served on the Mexican border dur
ing the Villa Instruction in 1916, and
was still lieutenant colonel of the
Eighth Regiment when it started over
seas to participate in the World War
for democracy.
Col. Johnson was always very popu
lar with the men serving under him.
He always accorded them square
deal and expected the same from them.
In the past, Col. Johnson served as
president of the Appomattox club for
one term. He also served as financial
secretary Of the peoples movement
within the Second ward. He also
faithfully served as deputy sheriff Of
Cook county under Sheriff Charles w.
Peters.
For many years he was prominent
member Of Universal Lodge No. 65,
Masons, and yesterday, at o'clock,
Masonic and military services were
held over his remains at his late home
Rev. W. S. Braddan, captain and chap
lain of the Eighth Regiment and pas
tor Of Berean Baptist church, preached
the funeral sermon; Charles S. Jack
son, funeral director, 1915 South State
street, in charge.
Col Johnson is survived by his con-
slant and devoted wife, Mrs. Johnson,
and troops of warm friends to mourn
his death.

Three members of the International
club orchestra, Bud Green, drummer
and soloist, Ted Haynes, pianist, and
Jack Goldstein, violinist, gave sew
eral pleasing numbers which were
greatly appreciated by the Kiwan-
ians.
Guy Crouch, who was chairman of
the day, gave a brief but interest
ing address on the American con-
stitution, in which he outlined the
history and the meaning of the
document which forms the backbone
of our government.
His address follows:
Immediately after the revolutions
airy war the several states, 1S to be
exact, were held together under
powers granted to the continental
congress in the articles of con
federation, adopted in 1871. During
this period there were so many
questions and discussions arising be-
tween the states that it was seen
that there should be more perfect
union. and steps were taken to make
this possible.
Alexander Hamilton addressed
that induced that body to issue a
call for a convention of the states,
to be held in Philadelphia, for the
sole and express purpose of revising
the articles Of confederation. @ I
This convention met on May IA,
1887. The total number of delegates
appointed by the states numbered, 81.
OF these, however, only SIS were in
attendance at any one time, and in
the final gathering only 20 signed
the constitution.
1t was truly a remarkable assem-
bly, Of men that gathered in Phila-
delphia. If we could but draw aside
the portals and take a glimpse into
the past we would see, seated at the
head of the council table, George
Washington, with the immortal
laurels of patriots war carried to
successful conclusion by his match
less resolution, patriotism and fidel-
ity. 1t is not necessary to name the
others for their names are indelibly
recorded on the pages of American
history. Never, in the history of
assemblies, has there been a con-
vention of men richer in political
experience and practical knowledge
who burned with zeal TO
consummate definitive union, and.
who were fairly on fire with their
enthusiasm and determination.
1t must be true that these men
were inspired by the Supreme Ruler
inasmuch as they were able to write
a form Of government that has stood
the test for 1S9 years with only 10
amendments and has been the pat
tern for other countries to follow.
In reality there have only been nine
amendments as the first ten virtually
formed condition of ratification and
were known as the "bill of rights.
Before going further I wish to
say that distinguished scholar has
estimated that some 22O0 amend
ments have been proposed and de-

ARIZONA LEGION
TO GIVE SMOKI
DANCE IN EAST

PRESCOTT, Sept 16. American
legion and auxiliary delegates at the
recent Bisbee convention having seen
in the abbreviated ceremonies Of
the Smoki people of Prescott, piece
Of well built pageantry, truly rep-
resentative of a passing age in the
southwest, have selected that show"
to be the Arizona departments con-
tributio nto the battle of states for
national attention at the Philadel
phia convention next month. And
Val De Camp, the new state COM
mander, making the Smoki pageant
his first order of business. has dis
covered that the proposed stunt"
has got to be put on in Philadelphia
at first planned.
The purpose of the exhibition of
the Smoki dancers is a bigger and
finer thing than merely to win for
the Arizona legion the honor of
excelling in a dramatic and panto-
mimic art. 1t is seen that by means
OF this drama of a fast-passing age,
Arizona's true position as develop
ing agricultural and Industrial en-
pire can be conspicuously shown be-
fore the centered attention of an
entire nation. 1t is proposed, there
fore, to use the Smoki pageant as the
vehicle for state publicity campaign
which shall have for it's purpose the
proving to the country that civiliza-
tion and not sage brush holds sway
in Arizona; that the white man, COM
ing here to build homes, has not
lost sight of the artistic and cultural
traditions his machine-made era is
displacing.
All of the state is being asked
to cooperate in staging a sure-to- be-
successful demonstration of the con-
trasting orders of modern and ancient
Arizona.
The Smoki people is the name of
an organization of Prescott business
and professional men who have made
themselves proficient in the dance
arts, minicry and music of the south
western tribes. Their great purpose
is to preserve against the altering
hand Of time the colorful and spec
tacular rites of the Indians, and their
chief means of doing this is to
present faithfully each year a series
of dances, eliminating in the Care-
monial Snake Dance, done with live
snakes and over $4,000 worth of
costumes and paraphernalia.
Arizona is just now bycoming the
focus of interest in the agricultural
middle-west, whence will come the
most desirable immigration. De
Camp has recognized that the pro-
posed Philadelphia pageant can be
made useful to all of Arizona, rather
than merely exciting and interesting
legionnaires. He has announced a
plan, therefore, for creating a pub
licfty movement which shall have
its spring-board in the Smoki pag-
cant. The plan includes the use of a
trained publicity engineer preceding
the legion national convention Octo-
Der IL to Is and to carry on the
work for some time after the interest
has been aroused.
1t will be necessary for the Smoki
dancers to begin training immedi-
ately in order to be ready to stage
their snake dance in October and
while they are thus making ready,
legion officers and various interested
organizations of the state are pre-
pairing to raise the money and erect
the structure necessary to capitalize
for Arizona the tremendous interest
which will be created by the dance
pageant in Philadelphia.

new INDUSTRY
is BEING TRIED
NEAR DOUGLAS

That new industry is now under
way in the Sulphur Springs valley,
being fostered by the Douglas Cham
ber of Commerce and Mines in the
hope that a new field may be laid
open to the farmers of the district,
was learned Thursday when machin-
cry for setting up a complete cane
syrup mill arrived in Douglas.
1t has been known for some time
that experiments were being carried
ON in the valley to determine whether
or not cane could be successfully
grown but no inkling was given as
to the proportions which the new
project might assume.
Chamber of commerce officials an
nounced Thursday that C. M. Dan
nelley now has IL acres of cane,
ready for harvest and that from
this first crop he expects to pro-
duce in the neighborhood of 1000
gallons of high grade cane syrup.
The possibilities of cane growing
were first brought to the attention
of the local chamber of commerce
several months ago. With a view
to determining just what luck might
be had with cane in the Sulphur
Springs valley the chamber of com
merce aided Dannelley in making his
first planting.
Despite the fact that only ordin-
ary care was given this first crop
the cane flourished and is now al
most ready for harvest. For several
weeks Dannelley has been engaged in
building a suitable housing for the
equipment with which to reduce his
cane to syrup.
The equipment which was taken to
the Dannelley ranch Thursday in
cluded a grinding mill, cooking watts
and canning equipment. Installation
of the equipment will be made at
once and it was stated that within
a few weeks Douglas first locally
produced cane syrup will be ready
for market.
Officials of the chamber of COM
merce have followed Dannelley's ex-
pertinent with the closest attention,
for if it can be shown that the
growing of cane for the manufacture
of syrup will prove practicable in the
Sulphur Springs valley, a profitable,
new field will have been opened to
the farmers of the valley.
Particular interest is centered upon
Dannelleys first crop, as many of
the farmers are anxious to know
what quantity of syrup can be pro-
duced per acre yield. If the yield

HIGHWAYS
TO PROTECT ALL,
PLEA

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Highways
of the United States must be con-
structed with a view to protecting
the lives of the people and not mere
ly to provide a. temporary means of
transportation over highly congested
routes, according to Herbert Hoover,
secretary of commerce, in state
ment made public today by the
American Road Builders association.
Hoover said that uniform traffic
regulations throughout the United
States and Canada are necessary.
Uniform laws by the states are
necessary to check the terrific toll in
life and property that reckless auto
driving levies annually in America"
Secretary Hoover declared. "The ac-
tivity of the American Road Builders
association in securing such regula-
tions should be supported by the
entire country along the lines recon-
mended by the national conference
on street and highway safety.
Hoover said that property loss as
a result of accidents in this coun
try in the past twelve months has
been in excess of 5000, 100000 and the
loss of life enormous.
'When we had but three people
in a township" said Hoover, they
did not require traffic rules to keep
their elbows out of each others
ribs, but when we got million N
community somebody has to tell
them how to move or they will run
over each other. Roads must be
constructed wide enough and num-
erous enough to handle them.
Probably the man who invented
the automobile was innocent of any
intention to quadruple the nations
traffic problems. He did not expect
to turn twenty million high speed
engines running heller skelter over
our streets and highways; he did
not except one-half of the whole
adult population would claim to know
how to drive them with safety and
skill
The situation makes uniform
traffic code a necessity. Hoover was
invited to take part in the traffic
conferences to be held at the 1927
convention of the American Road
Builders association to be held in
Chicago during good roads week
next January. At that time highway
authorities of international note
will address highway engineers, con-
tractors and officials from all parts
of the. continent. More than 10000
are expected at the convention.

feated. The writer's of our consti-
tuition had the foresight to place the
power of government in the hands
of the people, as the preamble of
the constitution reads, 'We, the peo-
pie of the United States,'' and then
distributed the power conferred on
the federal government by creating
three distinct departments. The first
of these departments was the legis-
lative, by means of which all legis-
lative powers were vested in a con-
gress of the United States, compos Ell
of the senate and the house of rep
resentatives. The second was the
executive in which the executive
powers were vested in a president.
The third was the judiciatS in which
judicial powers were vested in a
supreme court and such inferior
courts as congress saw fit to estab-
lish.
These three distinct departments
are parts of a system of checks and
subdivisions of power and they forti-
fy with all possible care against
ambition and passion. 1t is, indeed,
a rare privilege to be able to live in
country where all men may live
and worship according to the dictates
of his conscience, secure in the
knowledge that the voice of the peo-
pie will be heard.
