To the Editor:
In the early years Of the latter half
Of the seventeenth century the Amer
lean colonies consisted of thirteen III
number. bordering the Atlantic sea-
board from Maine to Georgia, having
a population of less than four million,
free from selfish conflicting interests.
1t was then and under these condi-
tions that our forefathers being dis
satisfied with English rule declared
their intention Of being a free people,
assembled by delegated representation
on July Fourth. Seventeen Seventy
Six, caused to be signed and ratified
that immortal document. THE Amer
lean Declaration of Independence, "
upon the principals Of which the ORR
ginal Constitution of the United
States was founded. 1 submit por-
ton of the second paragraph of this
document, (read the whole declaration
and you will be a better citizen and
a more loyal Democracy
Quote" We hold these truth to be
self-evdent, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable
rights. that among these are Life,
Liberty and pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Govern
ments are instituted among Men, de-
irving their just powers from the con-
sent Of the governed. That whenever
any Form Of Government becomes
destructive Of these ends. It is the
Right of the People to alter or to
abolish it. and to institute new Gov
crnment, laying its foundation OH
such principals and organizing its
powers il such form, rs to them shall
seem most likely to effect their Safety
and Happiness
Twelve years later September H.
1857, the first seven articles Of our
Constitution were ratified. since
which time there have been twenty
one amendments added thereto After
a careful study of the Declaration of
Independence, it is self-evidcnt that
the principals embodied therein when
compared with the following intro
ductory paragraph of our Constitution
are indispensable, the former intended
to be a permanent foundation upon
which the latter must be erected and

ing less than a unanimous opinion
should carry such powers.
New Deal legislation is probably
not model of legal perfection, how
ever, it has gone a long ways to-
ward lifting the whole out OF the in
densible economic quicksands of Re-
publican Administration. Progress
would have been much more marked
were it not for the lightweight OF
such as Al Smith, the Liberty Lea
guers and others who. are wolves IN
sheep clothing, endeavoring to dis
guise their real attitude under the
false claim Of being allied with the
Democratic party. They are exhaust
ing their energies finding fault and
are without brains or craftsmanship
to offer a better solution. Who has
profited by the New Deal? Have the
benefits been equitably distributed?
Banks. Railroads, Manufacture, all
legitimate business, Agriculture and
Labor have been the benefactors.
It is an insult to common intellect
for bunch of Republicans or their
equivalent to criticize, when the facts
are that at the beginning Of the
Hoover Administration general cOndi'
tionS Of the country were normal. The
mass Of the people were reasonably
prosperous and content. -Four years
later at the close of the Admnistra-
ton, a condition had developed which

Why raise SO much hell about tbs
money necessarily spent to relieve
suffering, furnish employment, slim
ulate business. Have we forgotten
that we spent, with the unanimous
consent Of the American people, more
than twenty billion to wage war
which has proven to be commercial
war, in which approximately one bal
million Of the flower of the young
manhood of America were slaughter
ed, died Of disease or were permanent
ly crippled, in addition more than two
and ono half billion dollars of bonus

the Administration. by the Liberty
League and their kind, who were the
ones who reaped the blood drenchcd
profits from war materials and cou-
pons from securities which they paid
for with printing press money of their
own manufacture, contrary to the orr
ginal Constitution, which clearly
states that Congress alone has tho
right to coin and regulate the value

If you arc dissatisfied with the prin-
cipals of modern democracy you
