1.-THE COUNTRY BEYOND'
 CLOSING, TON|TE LIBERTY

An unusually fine photoplay, "The Country Beyond', Fox Films screen version of James Oliver Curwood' s great novel, has it's last showing at the Liberty theatre tonight. The beautiful Olive Borden in the stellar role; the picture proves to be very fine entertainment.
 Curwood's widely read novel has received splendid treatment at the hands of the producers and story, is of absorbing interest. Of the lat ter it may be mentioned that many of the sequences were taken in the Mt. Edith Cavelle region of the Cana dian Rckies and shows country never filmed before.
 The story deals with the orphan girl Valencia who is the adopted daughter of Joe and Martha Leseur. The former is a brutal trapper. who abuses both his wife with extreme cruelty, which drives his daughter to New York and his wife to near-mad- ness.
 But there is more than grim drama in this picture, for there is a very inc love story interwoven thru the 'abric of drama and a great deal of lumor of the kind that brought many aughs from Saturdays audience.
 The cast is unusually good, includ- ng as it does Ralph Graves as the nale lead, J. Farrell Macdonald as Sergeant Cassidy, and Gertrude Astor.

ECONOMIZING ENERGY

1.-The inference is clear that stand
ards of conduct enforced by the
community may be powerful agen-
cieS for economizing human energy
that is, for getting all the man
power of the community to work in
productive channels; on the other
hand, the absence of standards will
permit a good deal of man power to
waste itself in unproductive or de-
structive channels. With equal nat
ural resources, the community that
economies its man power most sue
cessfully will be the successful COM
munity. That is, it will grow in
numbers, prosperity, power, and all
that goes with civilization much
more rapidly than the community
that wastes a great deal of its man
power.
ut is also true that community
may have false standards-that is,
it may insist on kinds of conduct
that are not productive of anything,
and may tolerate forms of conduct
which are destructive. In such
case, the possession of these IRA
tional standards is handicap rather
than help"

World and How 1t May Be Improy-

result and outcome Of a great civil war.
and, therefore, were necessary, as II that
were the only good and valid excuse for
passing amendments. But is it not in
finitely better and more desirable to &C
compliSh the same results or like results
by peaceful methods than obtain them
by war or as a result of war? Especially
is this so when the Objectionable thing
is the cause of the war directly or in
directly. We believe the great majority
of the American people think thus, and
will use every peaceful means within their
power to attain these desirable results
rather than resort to war.
The Thirteenth Fourteenth an d
Fifteenth amendments were secured after
100000 men were either sent to their
premature graves or manned for life,
81 900 000. 900 shot away in smoke and the
country set back forty years. The Eight
zenith Amendment was secured by preach
ing, lecturing, praying and voting through
many questioning gradually and with
little noise. We have learned how to do
things since 81 and IS.
1t is sometimes argued that even though
the first ten amendments might be con-
sidered as additions, they may also be
considered as practically part of the
original Constitution. DIR. Butler so con-
tends. But how is this? There were ga
amendments proposed by the various
states in their debates on ratification. Out
of the 224, only seventeen were seriously
considered by Congress. Of the seven
teen, only twelve were finally adopted and
sent to the states for ratification. Of the
twelve, ten were ratified. Just which Of
the 224, or of the seventeen, or the twelve
can be said to be practically" a part of
the original Constitution? Evidently
only those that finally happened to be
adopted and ratified, some say. But this
conclusion is too far fetched.
The Eleventh and Twelfth Amendments
can. by fair argument, be considered as
properly and really amendments and not
additions They actually change some
thing already in the original. The
Thirteenth is something added, The
Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth, Seven
tenth and Nineteenth change-amend
something already in the Constitution.
MR.. ROOT PROVES TOO MUCH
Sixth-It was secured by a tWo-thirds
majority of a quorum of the Congress
and a majority of a quorum of the legis-
latures, instead of a majority of all the
members elected.
This was the chief contention of Mr.
Root before the Supreme Court. In the
light of the history, custom rules and
regulations of legislative bodies in Amer
lea, it is difficult to understand how Mr..
Root could in good faith make such an
argument. In doing it he proves too
much. According to his premise, he makes
the Constitution itself invalid and some
of the other amendments null and void.
Those things which he values SO highly
and cherishes as a precious heritage in
his heart, he condemns by his reasoning.

MASSACHUSETTS AND NEW
HAMPSHIRE

The delegates to the Massachusetts,
Convention were in large majority OPP
posed to ratification. The final vote was
1877 to 1853. A change of ten votes would
have been fatal. Those ten votes held the
balance of power and were originally OPP
posed to the Constitution. What in
f1uence brought them over? Many an
sWers have been sponsored. But after all
has been said, it is a great strain on ones
credulity not to believe that those ten
men would have remained steadfast with
their convictions had Pennsylvania re-
jected the Constitution. Thus Massa-
chusettS, the third largest state in the
Union, ratified through an unholy in
f1uence exerted upon her, and that in
duence tainted with illegality.
New Hampshire is in the same category
with Massachusetts,. Her delegates were
overwhelmingly opposed to ratification
and with definite Instructions to oppose
the Constitution. It's convention was adj
journed to later date to allow delegates
to confer with their constituents. Finally,
the majority was eleven votes in favor A
change of six votes would have defeated
ratification. Who is SO temerious to deny
that the action of Pennsylvania and Mas
sachusetts converted those six voters and
brought them over to the Constitution?
Three states ratified the Constitution
the first, invalid and void; the second,
poisoned by the first; and the third, con-
taminated by both.

Let us look at this matter from an
historical standpoint and see II 1t viii
stand the light of day from Mr.. Roots
viewpoint.
When the Constitutional Convention
adjourned and walked out of that room
on the first floor of the building on Chest
nut Street, Philadelphia, the legislature
of Pennsylvania was in session in the
room directly overhead. The results of
the convention were made known to the
upstairs body. 1t was received with
omnibus silence. Directly two parties
arose, those for and those against the
Constitution. The proponents were in the
majority. The minority members con-
Guided that the best way to defeat ratl-
f1cation was to absent themselves from
the sessions of the legislature and prevent
a call for a convention of the peoples
DELEGATES This they did, but the ma
jority with the assistance of mob OF
Philadelphia citizens, broke into the
lodging of two members of the minority
party and kidnapped them, carried them
to the State house, thrust them through
the door of the assembly room, locked the
door, and the Speaker counted an exact
quorum. Seventeen members being abb
sent. the legislature called a convention
by the vote of that quorum. On the ALL
thority of that call, Pennsylvania, the
second largest state, was the second to
ratify the Constitution. In the light of
subsequent events, the reader may well
ask himself the question: latter all have
not the people of these United States got
kidnapped CONSTITUTIONS"
PENNSYLVANIA WAS THE KEY
Pennsylvania, geographically situated
between the Northern and Southern
states having vital interests in both Sec
lions, was easily the key to the whole
problem Of ratification.
All eyes in all the states were turned
toward her. If the Constitution failed in
it was doomed.
But Pennsylvania found a way" to do
it, and it was done. However, the call
being made by violent, criminal and IL
legal methods, the ratification was in
valid and null and void.
Who will have the hardihood to deny
that the second most powerful state in
America had a far reaching influence on
the actions of other states yet to ratify?
MIR. James M. Beck, ex-Solicitor Gen
eral of the United States, says that had
not Pennsylvania promptly ratified the
Constitution and set the example, it is
probable that Massachusetts, the third
largest state, would not have ratified, and
if neither had ratified Virginia and New
York would not have done So.'
Mr.. Beck is only voicing the belief of
the people of those states at the time
and most Constitutional writer's since.

He has opened fire against all of the

more even than that? It viii be re-
