THE NATIONAL EXECUTIVE


I'm free governments the rulers
are the servants, and the people
their superiorS and sovereignS."
With these words Benjamin Frank
lin struck a keynote of the new
American government just century
and half ago this week, during a
brief address to members of the
Federal Convention that drafted our
Constitution at Independence Hall,
Philadelphia
The wise'and venerable Poor Rich
ard made his statement during
discussion on the proposed National
Executive. Into the debate had en-
tered various suggestions on the
Executive term of Office, including
one that it continue for life. and
another that the President be ineli-
gible for reelection. Franklin dis
approved such proposals.
In characteristic vein. the ever
original dean of the Convention
observed that some delegates seemed
to imagine that the returning to
the mass of the people was degrad-
ing the Magistrate" But, he pointed
out. since the people were the mas
tiers. and the Chief Magistrates their
servants. such return to their ranks
was not to degrade, but to promote
them"
"And," continued Franklin, sit
would be imposing an unreasonable
burden on them (the Chief Magis-
trateS) to keep them always in a
state of Servitude. and not allow
them to become again one of the
masters
After further discussion the Con-
vention adopted a resolution provid-
ing that a National Executive be
instituted, to consist of single per-
son to be chosen by the National
Legislature for the term of seven
years"
It provided further that he should
be ineligible for a second term.
should have power to execute the
national laws, and should receive a
fixed compensation out of the ma
tional treasury
AS with various other resolutions
approved during the early weeks of
the Convention. certain of these
provisions were later changed.
Many of the significant changes IN
the resolutions were made by small
group of prominent delegates. ap-
pointed as COMMITTEE of Detail

July 26 IN HISTORY

First subject taught by correspond
ence course in the u. S. was Hebrew.
William Rainey Harper, who was
born 81 years ago, July rs, 1856, at
New Concord, Muskingum Co., Ohio,
entered Muskingum College, when only
eight wears old, was graduated at IA
after delivering the class Grafton IN
Hebrew. At 10, a Phi. D., he was made
president of Masonic College, Macon,
Tenn.
He had climbed far higher educa-
tional rungs by 1881, when he began in
struction in Hebrew by mail and thus
started correspondence schooling in
this country.
To-day only one in five persons to
sign up for correspondence course
finishes it. Older persons complete
more courses than younger ones, Wo-
men more than men. Most popular
courses of the largest university Of
fering mail instruction: English gram
mar and composition, short story writ
ing, accountancy).
Harper, 36-year-old United Presby-
terrain, was the first president chosen
for University of Chicago, when it was
established by the American Baptist
Education Society with Rockefeller
money.
That same July 26 Harper was born,
George Bernard Shaw came into the
world and began making himself
heard Immediately.
He once wrote: Dublin is my chief
birthplace (hearsay only; I do not re-

Shaw's first play (Widower's
Houses) was begun when he was 20,
was not completed until seven years
later His first published writing
was an attack on Moody and Sanl1ey
American evangelists. He has been
attacking things American ever since
with the result that this is the chief
source of Socialist Shaw's great
wealth.
The founder of correspondence in
struction was born on the birthday
of our American postal system. The
first posts authorized by the Contin-
entail Congress, began July 26, ITS,
between Falmouth, Me-, and Savan-
nah, Ga.
To these must go a large share of
credit for success of the Revolution

communication free from British con-
troll and espionage, the colonies could
not have drawn into and kept in sue

 As to a comparison of the drivers well, that's something else again Rex Mays finished no better than third behind Germany's Bernd Rosemeyer and Britain's Ditk Sea- man, but Mays was easily the best pilot on the track that afternoon Behind the wheel of Tazio Nuvo- lari's discarded Alfa Romeo. Mays clearly outpointed the foreign con- tingent on the tricky turns. But what good did it do him to gain an edge on the turns when he was certain to lose the advantage plus some more distance whcn.,the cars came roaring down the long Straight away?
 Mays conceded from 10 to 20 miles an hour on the straightaways too great a handicap for even the great driver that he is to over come.

 There is hardly time enough to make any progress between now and the proposed September race over the same course, so the best American drivers can hope for is a few crumbs in the way of special prizes while the foreign contingent romps off with most of the gold anc glory.

DOUGLAS WINS FROM ELKS IN
 WEIRD INNING
Eleven Islanders Count Be- fore Purples Begin to
 Play Baseball

The Greeks may have had word for lots of things, but not for the way in which the Elks lifted the curtain last evening on their min uet with the Islanders. Every thing but baseball was included in the repertoire from which the Pur- pie performers pulled their plays n that inaugural fiasco.
 If one were to skip the opening canto, last evenings tussle would have gone on the books as a fair enough ball game, with the P.P.O.E's laying bit the better of it. But, how can anyone skip an inning in which one side puts l3 runs across the dish, eleven of them be- lore the first putout was credited.
 It all came about when Big Mac" MacSpadden climbed onto the slab and started serving them up to the Douglas swatters, with peach mar malade smeared on them to make them sweeter. Mayhap the balls were equipped with wings, also, for, how they did sail. It likewise ap- peared that all the Elks players lad the same philanthropic spirit, for, whenever the ball was hit where il could be handled, one of them was sure to come up with a high quality boot.
 Nine Runs and Then
 After dishing up walk, two sin plcs, and three doubles, with four E.x errors thrown in to aggregate nne runs for the Islanders, Big Mac" switched places with catcher Kelly Blake But the merry-go- r5und was still at full speed and three more Island singles were combined with another Purple patsy before the durn thing broke down, after seventeen Douglas hitters had stepped to the plate in one session.
 With the start of the second in- ming, Blake decided that he had seen enough of the batters from the front side, and moved over to third base, where he played the hot cor ner in true catcher style, tossing eff his cap before handling the ground balls that came his way Erv Hagerup moved from third to take over the slab duties. And take them over he did so we'll that it was not till the fifth frame that Doug las again got man on base, and then he got no further than first
 Eiks Try Rally
 The Elks meanwhile hazarded a try at rally, and in the last of the fourth put across five runs and chased Red Gray off the rubber; Gray going to third to fiji that spot cne hundred percent with backstops, while Andrews moved into the box Rollers error, followed by McDon- aids triple. MacSpadden's single. Orme's double, Hagerup's single, Eelson'ss boot, and Goods single. put across the Elk counters.
 In the last of the sixth the Island lads got to Hagerup and tallied their final marker on Andrews double, followed by singles by Gray and Nelson. Two flies and a dribbler to the mound killed off the Elks in the first of the seventh. Umpire ln-Chief Ev Nowell took over left field for the Purples in the last of the sixth and demonstrated the duck that Dempsey forgot on a catch near the fence, as well as swan dive that Dutch Reilly would
