141st Anniversary
Of i. S. Constitution

The committee took up the objec-

| (Rhode Island) and set forth reasons
why they should be abandoned; and
Congress from this time set forth to
obtain from the States greater power,
especially as to credit and the fulfill
ment of duties and obligations OF
general Government" Failing In these

Virginia issued call for meeting OF
commissioners of the several States,

trade of the United States: to examine
the relative situations and trade of
the said States; to consider how lar
uniform system in the commercial
regulations may be necessary to their
common interest and their permanent
harmony: and to report to the several
States such an act relative 20 TINS

Commissioners from New York, New
Jersey. Pennsylvania, Delaware and Viz
ginia attended this meeting. The re-
port of this meeting was forwarded
to Congress and. of course, TO the
several States. Congress did not accept
this report, presented to 1t In the form
of a resolution by a grand committee
of Congress appointed to receive It.
But it did pass. in lieu OF 1t, the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That. in the opinion OF
Congress. 1t is expedient that, on the
second Monday in May next, conven-
ton of delegates, who shall have been
appointed by the several States, be
held in Philadelphia. for the sole and
express purpose of revising the Articles
of Confederation, and reporting TO Con-
gress. and the several Legislatures, such
alterations and provisions therein, as
shall when agreed to in Congress. and
confirmed by the States. render the
Federal Constitution adequate TO the
exigencies of Government, and the pres
ervation of the Union"
This was the constitutional converl-
ton, whose work, completed and sub
mitted to Congress and by it accepted.
we celebrate tomorrow. George Wash
ington presided over this conveEti6c.
Ten amendments were proposed at
the first session of the First Congress.
September Is, 1889. and ratified by the
constitutional number of States on De-

The Constitution itself prescribes the
manner by which it may be altered.

gress for convention for that purpose.

thirds of the States. And Congress may
propose amendments whenever two
thirds of both houses shall deem 1t nee
essary. Amendments are valid when
ratified by the Legislatures of three
fourths of the several States or by con-
ventions in three-fourths thereof"
Such constitutional amendments as
have been adopted to date have been
adopted on the initiative Of Congress.

advocates Of the old-time betting sys-
tenn in the halls of Congress. There
were those, in fact who we're wont to
make frequent trips to the Benning
track and enjoy the excitement there.
These members of Congress, the story
goes. accepted free passes to the track.
The yarn is told by former habitues
of the track that a certain Repre-
sentative appeared at the course one
fine day, with his wife, and gained
admission on free passes. Then he
and his wife needed programs of the
many scheduled events. No use attend
ing the races If one didn't have
program. So he asked an official for
a program-gratis. of course-and that
dignitary Independently declined to
give the Representative program free
of charge Much ruffled. the Repre-
sentative and his wife stormed from
the track. and he swung over to the
reform side.
THE Spring meeting at Benning in
1908 was the lest season Of real
horse racing at the famous field.
The manner in which the anti-gam-
bling measure was introduced Is in
teresting.
A bill was before the House OF Rep
rcsentatives providing for the widening
of Benning road During consideration
of this measure Representative Sims
amended the bill so as to insert the
provision that betting on races would
be illegal throughout the District. as
we'll as in portions Heretofore under
this ban as to gambling.
1t was brought out that Mr.. Sims
didn't object to horse racing. but was
opposed to betting on horse racing.
Representative Mann. during debate
on the measure. remarked that Ben
ming wouldn't last very long if there
was no betting there"
Representative Madden. we'll known
to citizens of Washington today, drolly
retorted:
This matter of betting is like the
question of the bedbug--there is not so
much objection to the bug as to the
internal method he has Of getting a
living"
The remark was recorded in the press
of the day

TIME Nation tomorrow celebrates
the l41st anniversary of the SUBJ
mission to the United States. In
i Congress assembled. of the Con-
stitution by the Constitutional
Convention.
On the 18th of September took place
the l40th anniversary OF the promulga-
ton of the Constitution. after ratiflca-
ton by a majority of the States. as the
supreme law of the land, to be effec-
tive as of the first Wednesday in the
following January.
The Constitution was drafted to meet
situation. William Hickey has writ
ten:
1T was early discovered by the pa
triots and statesmen of the Revolution
that a bond of union to connect the
powers and means of the Colonies for
the common defense was measure OF
absolute necessity. and hence the as
cemblase of a number of delegates
chosen and appointed by the several
Colonies and Provinces of North Amer
lea to meet and hold a Congress IN
Philadelphia at the Carpenters Hall
on Monday, September S, 1774. This
Congress continued to act under the
powers separately conferred upon the
delegates by the respective Colonies,
until the time arrived when, from their
patriotic ardor. the delicacy Of their
position. and the force OF circum-
stances total separation from the
mother country became necessary. and
they were obliged to assume a noble
stand among the nations Of the earth.
simultaneously with and conse-
quent upon the Declaration OF indie
pendence, provision for an adequate
National Government became so mani
testify indispensable that. on June IL,
1776, it was resolved that committee
be appointed to prepare and digest
the form of confederation to be
entered into between the Colonies. After
due elaboration, the Articles OF Con-
federation were agreed to In Congress
on November IS, l777. subject to the
ratification of the several States. The
ratification by eight States was an
nounced on July o, 1878: but many
objections were urged to these articles.
and so reluctantly did some OF the
States part with portion OF their
powers that ii was not until March l..
1881. that these articles were fully
ratified: and no sooner we're they rati-
fled than (indeed, before their final
ratification it was found that the
powers conferred by them upon Con-
gress were totally inadequate to the
indispensable purposes OF a natonai
government.
THE defects first became apparent
J in the want of the necessary means
of raising a revenue, and next In the
absence Of power to regulate or control
! the foreign trade and commerce OF the
country, and on February 3. 1871, a
member from New Jersey moved a rec
concentration to the States that Con-
gress be vested with additional powers
| to provide means for paying the public
debt. and prosecuting the existing war,
| by laying duties on imports and prize
I goods. One of the States having re-
| fused to comply with this recommended
J ton. the subject was referred to a
committee"
