acted constitutionally in America.
The church is separate juris-
diction, independent Of the Gov
eminent, and the provision Is so
broad that it constitutes freedom
Of religion, freedom from religion
and freedom in religion or church.
Another amendment provides
that

peace, be CHARTERED In any
house, without the consent Of
the owner, nor in time Of war

scribed by law"

Another says
mo law shall be passed pro
hibiting the bearing of arms;
that power was left to the police
power of the States.
Kindred thereto is another
amendment that:
Private property cannot be
taken for public use without
Just compensation"
In little countries in South
America, when the war came over
the Chaco, those governments
swooped down and took the
farmers mule and horse, the
trucks and wagons; while in
America, the agents Of the Gov
eminent must go out and buy
mules and horses and pay for
them at whatever price they can
get them for.
Homes Protected
More than that, in other gov
ernnents of the world, the army
officer can take possession, for
convenience of himself and the
army, of anybody's property. We
have a provision that says no
military force shall be stationed in

MAMITA

DAILY CITY, Cal, Jan. 29
GN.S0.-Herb Formes, talented
Los Angeles artist, is forgetting
romance, especially his love for
his pret;J wife, Mamita Coleman
Hayes, the dancer. He said:
'Mamita and 1 are through.
I am sorry she attempted to
end her life, but there is moth
ing / can do for her, financially
or otherwise. Our romance is
over"
In, October, 1882, just before
Formes was. to leave the Los
Angeles county Jail for San Quen-
TIN prison to serve five years to
life for robbery, he married the
allurin5 Mamita.
She promised to wait forever"
for FormeS.
But Mamita lost interest in
cher man" after he donned con-
vict garb.
When Formes was released on
parole for disqualification early
this month, Mamita was in Holly
wood. She hadn't written to
Formes for monthS-She had for
gotten her pledge.
Then Mamita swallowed poison
in q Hollywood theater and left
a note addressed to Walter. "
The note ssid, in part:
81 have built my plans on
sand. You have been very
sweet, but we should not have
met"
There was no note for Herb
FormeS.
Formes doesn't care - Mamita
is out of his life.

BY WILLIAM H. MURRAY
Former Governor Of Oklahoma


(From an address deIiUered be.
fore the Association for Economy
and Tar Equality at Enid, OEldJ
It is often stated that the Eng.
lish constitution is not written
and that the United States Con-
stitution was written for cap
ital."
The truth Is that the funda-
mentals Of the English conStitu.
ton are written irrevocably and
can never be changed, while ours
may be, by the method laid down
by the Constitution.
The English constitution was
written from time to time, like
the Bible (the Bible was written
through 1900 years., as the best
thought, to correct sad and pain
full experiences during a period
Of nearly 1000 years, beginning
first in 1915 with the Magma
Charta of English liberties; then
the acts of settlement, and other
like charters-these cannot be
changed. The entire English con.
stitution consists of these char
tiers. together with the acts of
parliament and the decisions of
the courts.
Two New Principles
The American Constitution was
written by one stroke of the pen,
as it we're, and our fathers who
wrote it had before their minds
these baneful experiences as dis
closed by the history of the English
nation, together with the princi-
Piles Of the Roman republic and
empire. made known through pro-
fame history and st. Luke in the
gospels (see Acts, Chapters %, "a.
25), together with knowledge of
the weakness of federated nations
in ancient times on the Rhine and
their own weakness under the
Articles Of Confederation.
These fathers simply put into
the United States Constitution, at
one writing, all of these safe
guards just recited: at the same
time establishing three separate,
independent, coordinated branches
of government-the judicial, the
legislative and the executive-and
assigned to these three separate,
coordinated branches equal power
and authority, with such checks
and balances so that neither could
trespasS upon the other. Then
they put into the federation two
new principleS-a supreme taxing
power and q supreme judiciary.
Never Ratified
The Constitution originally
written, together with the 10 first
amendments, which were agreed
to by its authors, otherwise it had
never been ratified. These 10
amendments were submitted by
the first Congress, along with two
others, and defeated.
They were essentially a part and
parcel Of their intention in its
writing and all in harmony with
the idea of the perpetual union
of full and supreme national
power. Of independent, sovereign
States.
The first amendment begins:
Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or abridging
the freedom Of speech, or of the
press; or the right of the people
peaceably to assemble, and to
petition the Government for q
redress Of grievances"
Are these property rights or
were they not written for the lib
erty Of the citizen?
How fortunate that language,
Congress shall pass no law with
respect to religion" That is quite
different from a constitutional
provision declaring merely there
shall be freedom of worship.
Church and State Separate
Mexico has that, but they pass
laws providing that no church

for the 1885 season amounted to

Acreage planted to cantaloupes,
honeydews and honeyballs in 1896
totaled 1881 acres less than in
1885. This year the total acreage
amounted to 25,063 as compared
to 27844 in 1895. This years can
taloupe acreage reached the total
Of 1A,594, while 6766 acres of honey

The first crate Of cantaloupes
to leave the valley this season was
sent to President Roosevelt on
March 28th, by Charles Freedman,
FL Centre packer. The first crate
shipped in 1885, lett the valley on
April 5th, and was also shipped
by Freedman.
The Market News also reports
that prices received for the 1886
yield are better that they have
been since 1929. Part of this is
believed TO be due to improved

The first carload of watermelons

which rolled over the highways
to the coast markets. In 1885, the

B. A Harrigan, county agricul-
tural commissioner estimates that
more than 1886 cars Of waterme-
Ions have left the valley, by truck
and rail, during the 1886 season.
From July l, to July II, inclusive,
125 cars rolled to the Los Angeles
