Constitution lat Years Old

September II marks the 147th anniversary of the
adoption of the Constitution Of the United States
by the constitutional convention in Philadelphia in
1877, after many weeks of elaboration and much
spirited discussion It became effective March 1889.
having been ratified by IL of the ID original states,
the remaining two giving their ratification the fol-
lowing year.
The first 10 amendments to the constitution,
commonly known the Bill of Rights, became eff
fective December 15 1871. A total of 81 amend
ments to the Constitution have been adopted, but
the 21st repealed the 18th (prohibtion) amendment
leaving 20 in effect. The 18th amendment is the
only ever repealed after its adoption.
In recent years Constitution Day has been widely
observed by suitable exercises held by schools clubs
and patriotic societies. in which addresses pertaining
to the origin provisions and significance of the Con-
situation have been features of the days program.
It is only true to say that comparatively few
Americans familiar with this great charter of
our nations liberties, the wisdom and foresight Of
whose authors have been amply INDICATED. Consti-
tuition Day is suggested most appropriate time
for the reading and study of this immortal document
One of the highest tributes ever paid the Con-
stitution given by the eminent British states
man. Viscount James Bryce, who said:
1.-THE Constitution deserves the veneration with
which Americans have been accustomed to regard
it. It ranks above every other written constitution
for the intrinsic excellence of its scheme it's adapta-
ton to the circumstances of the people, the simplicity
brevity and precision of its language its judcious
mixture of deniteness in principle with elasticity

Murder Enters the Campaign

Murder has now been injected in the state cam
paign issue"
That frebrand and demagog Of yore, A. G. Town
ley, former head of the Nonpartisan league has
charged in a wild campaign speech that Gov. Olson
knew" something of the gang shooting of Howard
Guilford, one-time editor of Minneapolis weeklies.
And not to miss opportunity to throw another
political stink bomb, Sen. T. D. Schall who contin-
ues to lombard the Roosevelt administration regard
less of the facts, has out with the charge of
"press censorship enforced with a shotgun"
Both politicians may be right but they haven't
come out with any proof, preferring the easier
smear method They will make a nero-martyr out
of a scandal sheet editor yet.
There are still eight weeks to go in the campaign
so with murder injected already it promises hot
before the votes are cast.
That anybody will take any stock in this dizzy
stuff remains to be Perhaps it is the times
times which produce Huey Long and his invasion
of New Orleans by militia-St. Paul Daily News.

Farmers Pay 81 ,Os3, 900 on Loans

In these times Of so-called depression 1t is hard
to believe that Minnesota farmers have paid to the
Federal Land Bank of st Paul more than $1,OS3,OOO
on loans during this year up to September 1st-
The August report on collections shows that
farmers of this state have repaid to the
S145397 during the month. These payments do not
include any installments on Commissioners loans,
though .Ae volume of these is also considerable and
must be added to the Land Bank installments to
show the full amount farmers of this state pay
ing on farm mortgages to federal agencies. Also
only small portion Of these payments are on 1884
loans but are the basis Of loans in 1885, the vol
ume of which in this state is approximately $412-
746OOO.
In face of the drouth conditions of this these
payments prove that Minnesota farmers have not lost
faith the productivity of the land and that they
still willing to toll After all there is heaps Of
gold Minnesota farms and the courage Of our
farmers will prove 1t.

OF speed attained and fast driving is the cause of

senatorship and then only by the slimmest of mar

governor to be reelected since the Civil War; was
swept into office by plurality that exceeded 10000
votes over his Republican competitor. It was de-

Disarmament Confusion.

Mere reading of current dispatches
from Geneva suffices to indicate the
bafling confusion into which the
disarmament discussion has man
aged to tangle itself. Yesterdays
meeting of the Conference Bureau, or
Steering Committee, under the in
vincibly optimistic Craftsmanship Of
Arthur Henderson, decided to reas-
semble the general conference on
May %, but the international debate
which preceded the adoption of a
resolution to that end revealed with
disconcerting clarity how far apart
the nations still are on essentials
requisite for any accord worthy Of
the name.
Two major conditions cloud the
situation with uncertainty bordering
upon hopefulness. The ancient
Franco German armaments feud Is as
far as ever from being reconciled. The
French insist that the Germans have
already rearmed, in defiant violation of
the treaty of Versailles, and that in
the presence Of that accomplished fact
reduction of arms by France becomes
q practical impossibility. Should
