The CONSTITUTION and
ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Many years ago, the Pilgrim
Fathers landed on this continent
in their search for freedom. Their
home was England. but there they
were prosecuted. They went to
Holland but could not think Of
giving up their ways and langu-
age for that of the Dutch. So
some of them set out for the
new world" in ship called the
Mayflower. They landed on the
Massachusetts, coast in 1920. They
endured many hardships. During
the first winter over half of them
died. Even this was not too great
sacrifice for freedom. The right
to worship God in their own way
was too strong to die.
AS this nation grew, there were
certain discontents between the
colonists, as they were called by
England the mother country. They
were highly taxed and not re-
presented in the Parliament, the
supreme power of England.
They endured this tyranny for

FAMILY QUARREL
ENDS In DEATH

A family argument had tragic
ending at 1900 o'clock Tuesday
night April is. when Lyman Rey.
nolds, 81 years old. was fatally
injured at his home, 2O19 Main
Street, police reported.
Earlier. Mrs. Reynolds had call
ed police to report her husband
had been drinking and was abb
usive Patrolman Ted Yearbek and
]. w. Ray quieted Reynolds. and
told Mrs. Reynolds to call police
again II necessary.
Mrs. Reynolds said her husband
left the house and she notified
her son. George. "a, who went
in search of his father. Detec-
tive I. A. O'Mera said the father
and son apparently had a fight
before they returned home.
Late last night. the dispute was
resumed. reaching a climax when
Reynolds chased the youth with a
gaff hook. O'Mera said. The de-
tectiye said George struck his
father. who fell and struck his
head on a table.
An autopsy was held Wednes-
day. George Reynolds. who lives
at 949 23rd Ave, was jailed
without charge.

many years. and then they re-
volted. The revolt was slowly or
ganized. There were disconnected
riots and many other oppositions
to the Parliamentary oppression.
Finally on Sept. 5. 1774, the
first Continental congress assem-
bled in Philadelphia. Every colony
except Georgia was represented.
There were such able men in
congress as Washington, Benjamin
Franklin, and John Adams. The
congress ignored the Parliament
entirely. They drew up a stiff de-
claration of colonial rights. The
congress not only approved the
opposition of Massachusetts, to the
recent acts of the Parliament, but
declared that if force were used
against the people of that colony,
all America ought to support them
in resistance. This was the first
organized attempt to realize free
dom.
In May of 1775 the Second Con-
tinental Congress met. They made
provisions for the financing of the
revolutionary war. They made
George Washington their COM
mander.
And then the Revolutionary War
came. They fought and died that
they might be free to develop at
their own fate.
After that war, this nation
found itself in one of it's most
critical positions. 1t lacked unity.
The states were confused. They
needed a national government =
one which had power to settle the
state arguments.
SO they adopted the Articles of
Considerations. but this too was
failure. 1t was not the strong
national governemnt they needed.
1t was too weak. 1t was simply
a League of friendship. Although
it failed. it was the first step
toward our constitution.
