READ THE CONSTITUTION

1t would be interesting to know
how many Americans have read the
Constitution of the United States,
the document upon which the repub-
lie was built, since they passed out
OF school.
The chances are that far less than
ten per cent could honestly say that
they have read il. They have seen
a few quotations from it in articles
and editorials; they know vaguely
that it's purpose is to guarantee lib
erty and opportunity for all, and to
assure stable, representative gov
ernment, and that's about all they
know.
There never was a time when
general study of the Constitution
would be so valuable as now. Today
il is being criticized, ii is accused OF
the crime of antiquity, and those who
would change it say it has outlived
its usefulness. The result of these
attacks on the Constitution are al
ready reflected in legislation and in
governmental procedure - liberties,
rights, privileges, for which our an
cestors fought and died, are endan-
gered In other countries, similar
constitutional guarantees have been
thrown overboard-and the final re-
suit has been invariably dictator
ship. 1t should be everlastingly kept
in mind that the Constitution is the
bulwark that stands between us and
one ism" or another.
Read the Constitution. paying
especial attention to the sections
which compose the Bill of Rights.
Those sections reflect all that man
has striven for through thousands
OF years of turmoil-the widest pos
sible liberty, the right to live as an
individual, dominated by none. If
the Constitution is out-of-date. so is
the cause of human freedom.

LEGISLATURES MAY PLACE
RESPONSIBILITY UPON LABOR

Observation-Disclosures have
become more definite over the coun-
try recently of movements in every
state during the next sessions Of
State Legislatures to enact laws
making organized labor unions legal
ly responsible for their acts.
The trend was given impetus re-
Gently when General Hugh s. John
son in one of his final statements
before retiring from official life as
sailed in vigorous language the vio-
latiOn of agreements by union lead
ers in the textile strike. johnson
accused spokesmen for the cotton
textile unions of breaking faith on
understandings with him, while
unions in allied fields called strikes
in plants where they had contracts
with employers running for indef-
mite periods.
Particularly the State legislation
would aim at eliminating the sympa-
thetic strike where the janitOrs Of
a city might walk out until the bak-
ers were cOnciliated in their de-
mands.

labor has been much stronger than
in this country, it was found neces-
sary years ago to enact legislation
making the unions responsible. Early
in the century many laws were
placed on the statute books of Eng
land under the pressure of organ
lied labor. The result was that la
Dor soon was demanding more and
more until the famous general strike
was attempted in 1926.
The public revolted and forced
through Parliament the new laws
under which unions were made as
for their acts as other !
organized groups. This legislation |
still stands although since that time |

RED GLASS REFLECTORS

Why would it not be a feasible
project to insert red glass retlectors
on all concrete abutments to bridges
on our highways? Many curve signs
are now equipped with them and
they can be seen at night from a
quarter to half mile away. Equip
abutments and other dangerous pro-
jections along highways with re-
fiectors and night accidents will be
cut down considerably. There prob
ably is not a single man who has
driven at night who has not had his
heart jump up into his mouth when,
just after passing a pair of bright
headlights, he suddenly sees a con-
crete abutment on his right he has
just barely missed. Some drivers
have not missed them-and are now
six feet under sod. Outline abut-
ments. fences, ETC., and night driv-
ing will be made much safer.-Reg-

duced economically, profitably anC

beauty, and that there is no neces.
sity for ugliness in connection with
manufacturing town, nor slum en-
vironment for the workers in its

Herbert H. Lehman, Democratic
Governor of New York, in a brief
statement, praised the society for
its selection in making the award.
II regard the giving of this award
as the SOciety's greatest gesture,
the Governor stated. There is a
double reason for my so stating.
First is because it promotes good
citizenship through raising the stan
dard of the home, and of the man
and his. family within the home.
Secondly, such an award as this one
given to Governor Kohler is a con-
structive step in promoting good
ethics. for our citizens have had too
little recognition for their unselfish
and altruistic efforts in promoting
the constructive arts of peace"
In the fifty years of the SOciety's
existence. fourteen awards have
been given. They include Thomas
Alva Edison, Eva lie Gallienne,
Cass Gilbert, Harlow Shapley, Mad
ison Grant, Robert Andrews Milli-
Ian, Albert A. Michaelson, William
Niles White. William Crocker. Jay
Downer, Frank Damrosch, Gilbert
N. Lewis. James McKeen Cattell and
