the united STATES at
different times. Texas was the latest.
Back in the old days when football
was getting its foothold as national
game the Big Three dominated the
East to such an extent that when ALI
American teams were picked at the
end of the season eight of the eleven
would be members Of the Big Three
and the few selections that remained
would be made mostly from the other
large colleges in the East. From the
East the enthusiasm spread to the Mid
west and reached such glowing heights
that the Western conference, composed
Of the Big Ten institutions In the Mid
west, was formed.
This was fine move for football, as
well as the individual colleges, since
each college in the Midwest was anx-
ious to Guido the others and the con-
ference served as check on every
member Of the group.
From the Midwest, football moved
into the Missouri valley, and believe
the game In the Missouri valley, over
a long period of years, has progressed
on a more even keel than in any Sec
ton in the United States.
The South came along next, with
John Heiseman's Georgia Tech Golden
Tornado leading the parade. Every
southern institution has had great
teams at one time or another ever
since, and in my opinion, southern foot
ball always will be Of the first grade,
because the preliminary training sea-
son comes in February. All the Dixie
coaches take advantage of six or eight
weeks of practice, with the result that
their teams are the best ball handlers
in the country.

Great Little Madison
 Drew Basic Draft At Convention
By WILLIS THORNTON

By WILLIS THORNTON 2 NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 Constitution Day, Sept. IT., marks not only the 149th year of the basic law of the land, but the year 1886 marks exactly 100 years from the death of James Madison, >"The Father of the Constitution" .s
 Madison was venerable S5 years old when he died on his estate at Montpelier, Va, in 1886, almost the last of the Pounding Fathers.
 His widow, Dolly Madison, sur-. vived until 1849, her quaint Colonial dress and her candle-lit Washington salon a ghostly link between the days when the constitution was made and the days when its first crucial test in the Dred ccott case was drawing near.
 Madison WIS small of stature (they called him "the great little Madison'), slender, handsome, and scholarly. He was born of Virginia planters family at Port Conway, Va, in 175l, first of 12 children. Trained for the law at Princeton, he gravitated to politics as naturally as did so many able Virginians of the day.
 Before the constitutional conven- ton of 1787 was called, the youthful Madison had already long record of public service, in framing Vir- ginia's constitution and serving in her legislature.
 With Jefferson he won equal free dom for all religions in Virginia. Like Jefferson, he had no stomach or talents for war, and did not give military service to the Revolution, though his tongue and pen served well in the Continental Congress.
  50 Convention Addresses
 When the first American govern ment under the confederation begged down for lack of central powers and energetic leadership, Madison was among the leaders de- nlanding a convention to frame a new government.
 When delegates from all the states assembled in Philadelphia in the early summer of 17s7, young Madison, then 36, was not only one of the most active delegates, but his
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-09-17

plan for constitution, introduced in modified form as the Virginia Plan, was the basis for final agree ment.
 Lodged at the Indian Queen with Hamilton, Mason, PinckneJ, and a half dozen other delegates, Madison was tirelesc throughout the long four-month debate on a constitution. He addressed the convention 50 times, with such preparation and knowledge that he was heard with respect.
 Always present, always busy, Madison was to Joe seen In a front row seat at every session, scribbling furiously. The sessions were secret, with every delegate pledged to re- veal none of the debate. The pledge was scrupulously kept.
 But Madison was keeping careful notes of all that went on, a brief summary of the views and argu- ments of every speaker.
 At night, debate over, he would go to his room and transcribe those notes In a small neat hand, and then show them to the speakers, asking them to verify what he had written. Seven years after his death, in 1a43, those careful notes were published, and they remain the chief source of information as to how the constitu- ton was built.

 Maj.

He blends together the profound politician. with the scholar.

Cities in IT States to GO

New York, Sept. 17-CUP)-Cities in 17 states, Hawaii and Canada will go of daylight saving time at 2 .. m. Sept 27. Two entire states .--Massachusetts and Rhode Island observed the hour earlier time throughout the summer, while vir- tually every city in Michigan. and Ohio observe daylight time the year round.
 More than 700 cities in the IS states where daylight saving is op- tional adopted 1t fo rthe summer. Several cities in the United States and Canada adopted the time for Q different period than the April % to Sept. 27 period suggested by the Merchants Association of New York.
 Optional in Empire State
 Tn the optional states, New York leads in the number of cities ob- serving daylight time with 320. New Jersey is second with 1l8 and Pennsylvania third with 93. Other states are Maine 59, Connecticut 33, New Hampshire 2l, Illinois 46 with 39 others observing Eastern Standard Time the year round), Indiana IS, Georgie 3, Idaho 3, Vermont 3, and Delaware Il.
 Business houses in Minneapolis unofficially observe daylight time.
 Ohio was placed officially on Eastern Standard Time in 1927, but few border cities still observe Central Standard Time and go on daylight time throughout the sum- mer. Michigan cities have turned almost entirely to the hour earlier Eastern Standard Time, although Q few still go on Central Time.
 Chicago Def1ies I. c. c.
 Chicago led 39 other Illinois towns and cities in observance of Eastern Standard Time this year, and al- though the Interstate Commerce Commission refused to approve 1t, the city plans to remain on that time throughout the year. Forty six other cities adopted the April 26 to Sept. 27 Daylight time, while eight other cities set shorter periods for observance.
 Great Britain, Northern Ireland, France, Portugal and Belgium go off Daylight Saving Time Oct. 4, and the Netherlands Oct. 3 In South America, Argentina observes Daylight time for six months, end- ing Nov. 90.

 Wrote Federalist Papers
 Against the bitter opposition of his old political idol, Patrick Henry, Madlscr's sheer bfilliance won Wire ginia's adherence to the new corsti- tuition.
 He was co-author with Alexander Hamilton of the "Federalist," :" a se- ries of newspaper articles on the new constitution, aimed at persuading New York to adopt 1t.
 Madison wrote at least IA of the Federalisti papers, collaborated on others. They remain to this day the foremost exposition of the constitu. ton, an all-tiFne high of tho appeal to reason and sense in politics inc stead of emotion and selfishness.
 Madison's plea in the Federalist for the rights of Y1inorities and for the federal government as bal- ance-wheel among contending face tions is a political classic.

Governor Landon charged that
President Roosevelt is careless
with facts and figures" and his
Cabinet members likewise are
getting reckless" in their cam
paign statements.
He pointed out:
ONE-The Presidents Pittsburgh
address stated "fallacies" on
the Federal budget, one being
that the soldiers bonus pay
ment no longer is an obligation
of the Government.
TwO-An unnamed cabinet mem
ber, presumably Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace, has mis-
represented the Kansan's farm
rehabilitation program.
THREE-Despite President Roose-
velt's assertion after the Su-
preme Court invalidated the
Agricultural Adjustment Act,
that wheat would 60 to 36 cents
a bushel and cotton to cents
a pound, they went up in price
until the scarcity program
caused importations of commod-
tiles from abroad harmful to
American producers.
Ripping into "misrepreSenta-
ton" by New Dealers" Governor
Landon said:
"The time has come for every
American voter to get out a pen
Gil and check recently issued
New Deal figures. After adding
and subtracting, he will get re-
suits quite different from those
reached by the President and
his various SpOkesmen.
Gan ordinary knowledge Of
arithmetic would show the
fallacy of the Presidents re-
cent statement at Pittsburgh
that over a billion and a half
went for the payment of the
World War veterans bonus this
year instead Of 1945' and that
payment is now out of the way
