Wandering" namely the arrangement
of tie delegates in such way that dry
districts might dominate or vice versa.
But does Congress have the right to
specify just how the States snail elect
their own delegates to State conven-
tions? If it possesses this privilege,
may it not also go further and say how
the conventions shall be conducted?
And if it does, is this not congress
sonal dictation which deprives the
States OF their sovereign power to
ratify in their own way?
One need not answer these questions
in the affirmative or negative at the
moment. but it is certain there will be
plenty of controversy on these points
and possibly an appeal to the courts
in States where one or the other proc
esses may be involved Certainly the
vets in Congress are not hnal!y gong
to be willing to write provision lnto
the repeal amendment when VIII pe
subject to legal attack and make 1t
necessary to go back to Congress Tor a
revision of that part of the new amend
ncnt relating to procedure. a circum-
stance that might delav for year or
two beyond the normal requirements
Of consideration any final action on the
proposal itself.
Long Delay Is Seen.
But if Congress does not undertake
to specify how the ratification snail be
accomplished after the matter is out
of the hands of Congress ana rs, Is lG1e t5e
to state conventions, 1t Will lileh De
necessary for state Legislatures to act.
Some of them, dominated by ory Sentl-
ment, may delay or postpone actlon::
Others may debate apportlonment OF
delegates. These are matters that take
time and involve controversy between
rural sections and cities. Pfo1. W. r.
Dodd in his book on state OoVeIh-
ment" says: ,
Constitutional conventions Wneh
provided for expressly by the conStltu-
tions themselves are ordinarily COM
posed of delegates elected upon the
representative basis already eXlSthg
for the choice of legislative members
In States whose constitutions nave no
provisions for conventions, the leglSla-
tures themselves determine the man
ner in which delegates to ConFehVlollS
shall be chosen.
constitutional conventions are
therefore. not usually 0rgam2ea SO as
to correct inequalities of legislative rep
resentation: rather, they reflect also IL
their membership the inequaIlty that
exists in the legislative body.
Prof. Dodd then points out that STU
ations of this kind have often resulted
in the greater part of the state being
unrepresented in constitutional conVen-
tions and being controlled by smaller
rural population.
Lobbying Drive Forecast.
1t may be expected that the Anti,
saloon League on the one hand and
the United Repeal Council on the other
will watch every State situation and
endeavor to get legislation passed which
will specify just how the delegates are
to be chosen
ANYBODY who thinks this is going to
happen overnight has paid little atten-
ton to the long-drawn-out processes
by which State Legislatures have been
made wet or dry, as the case may be,
While the method of ratification by
been used since the beginning, it never
been used since the beginning, 1t never
theless has been consistently advocated
Evening star., 1932-07-29

as tending toward referendum by the
people and as much more fair basis
than ratification by State Legislatures,
whose members are elected on dozens
of different issues. Should the new
method by State conventions be worked
out. it probably will result in fewer
amendments to the Constitution, since
it is assumed that 48 different special
elections would have to be held to COM
plete the process of ratification and
that out of these at least three-fourths
would have to be decisive either Tor
approval or disapproval.
Generally speaking, the repeal or
change of the eighteenth amendment
must first be agreed upon as to phrase
ology by two-thirds of both houses,
then the States must by legislative act
provide election machinery to carry out
the will of Congress, and ultimately
elections for delegates must be held IN
48 States so as to give the people a
voice in the whole question.

What Washington
Means To Me

To me Washington is q myth. He
is a god whom I am permitted to
worship. Browse all l please in
magazines, read all the life histor-
les 1 desire; still in this modern age
to live again in his time is too
much of tax on my imagination.
Obedience was one of his virtues.
In his early life he was desirous of
going to sea, but because of the
tears of his mother, he declined. 1t
gives my heart bit of culver to
think what might have happened in
the Revolution had Washington not
been here to hold his firm hand over
us until this new government had
been established.
On his courage and bravery in
battle l like to speculate aud feel
that his closeness to the Divine One
aided him in his efforts.
The great debt of appreciation that
the American people owe to his
memory is a thought pleasing to
think on. The fact that Mount Ver-
non has become a national shrine
where thousands go every year to

IN MEMORLAM

The whole school was shocked to
hear of the death of Jessie Grove,
sister to one of our classmates and
a former member of this school.
For a short time this year she did
take some subjects in the CONNER
cial course, but because of declining
health, she discontinued. To us at
school and to her other outside
friends she was always a congenial
girl who had a pleasant DISPOSE
ton. Poor health was a handicap all
through life, yet she plugged on
willing to work under difficulties.
At one time she taught in the Jun
ior Department of the Avenue Meth
odist Sunday School. A great part
of her life Miss Grove had spent in
New York where her body was sent
after a short funeral Tuesday. Even
though she died while young, rehec-
ted on her surroundings are many
evidences of her friendly disposi-
tion. The school extends its sincere
sympathy to all members of the
family.

Mid-YeGr Exams Held
January rs To %
Junior And Senior High Assemble
Together

At nine o'clock on Tuesday morn
ing nearly two hundred long-faced
boys and girls assembled for the
first of the annual mid-year exami-
nations. Judging by the express
sions on their faces, the casual OBJ
served might have thought they
were filing into a torture chamber
of the Spanish Inquisition. Half an
hour later, however, about half of
them were filing out with faces
wreathed in smiles. Once more the
old adage of "things are never so
bad but they might be worse" had
proved true.
Most of the examinations given
on Tuesday dealt with English,
while mathematics anr sciences fol-
lowed on Wednesday and Thursday.
This year the examination periods
were only an hour and half long
as contrasted to the two hour exams
of last year, and the three hour tests
of the year before.

Milford Girls Play Basket
Ball to Defeat Champions

The Milford girls, with their new
lineup, showed better form against
the Laurel team. Coach Boston has
made new shifts in the team that
have proven to be very helpful.
Both teams fought very hard, but
the Milford girls showed their riv-
ais they could be beaten, and espe-
cially on their own floor.
At the en1 OF the first half the
Milford girls were leading by hve
points. Laurel started off the sec-
ond half by scoring three field goals
which put them one point in the
lead. Due t. accurate passing and
shooting the Milford girls regalned
the lead.
In the final quarter Laurel went
in the lead again by two points
which made the game very excit-
ing. With only a minute and a half
to play the score was 81 10 10 in
favor of Laurel On both of the
final tap-offs the Milford team gain
ed possession of the ball. The bali
was passed to Sirple who made two
field goals putting the Milford girls
two points in tho lead. Just as Sip
pie made the winning shot the final
whistle blew.
Harrington was taken out of the
game in the second half because Of
fouls and Holzmueller was shifted
from forward to fill the position.
She had never played guard before,
but played as if that was her reg
Ular position. 49,.

contest.

school library to the students were
loaned to us by the Free Public Lii
brary. These pamphlets are of great
value to the students when they are
asked to write themes on the life of
Washington. During the time they
have been here they have been loan
ed many times.
We have had donated to our Ii
brary a large number of copies of
the National Humane Review"
These magazines were donated by
Mrs. ]. B. Love who has lately NOV
ed here from Pennsylvania. These
magazines deal mostly with our wild
and tame animal life and contain a
of stories worth reading.
We are also assured of a supply
of books from the Junior Literary
Guild for a new lot has been signed
for.
On the bulletin board in the Lii

WHO'S WHO OF

Ralph Reed is 4 charter member

it means, "to give such for such" or

livered in a very interesting man
ner. Judge Thurman represented
the American Legion which has for
it's purpoce the making of men and
women into true and faithful AM
erican Citizens. In order to accomp-
lish this purpose they are beginning
with the students of the High
School who in a few years Will
have the privilege of becoming Am
erican Citizens. To aid their pur-
pose and to show their interest in
the students the American Legion
is offering two medals to the two
Seniors of N. H. S. who best show
their loyalty, discipline and other
requirements of a good American
Citizen and who are on the honor
lit in their studies.
