OUR CONSTITUTION

The Constitution of the United
States of America is the mos
wonderful work ever developed al
a given time by the brain ano
purpose of man. 1t is the most
striking example of what dedicat-
ed men can do in the world today.
The men who framed it believed in
the highest ideals, and they held
God so sacred that they made
in God We Trust the motto of
our country.
Many principles of our consti-
tuition came from England since
the majority of the people in the
first thirteen states were of Eng
liSh descent. When those English
settlers sailed to America in the
seventeenth century, they brought
with them the traditional belief
in political and religious freedom
that they had held fast to through
the centuries. The English people
already had won the right of rep
reSentation and had curtailed the
powers of the King with the Mag
ma Carta.
Our constitution is the out
growth of that progress. It is a
combination of the highest work
able ideas of freedom from the
preceding centuries of thoughtful
planning. A few of its thirty-nine
authors are famous: Washington.
Father of Our Country and its
first president; Franklin, famous
statesman, lover of peace; Hamil-
ton, whose brilliant young mind
was a challenge to his colleagues.
and Madison, sometimes called the
Father Of the Constitution, a pro-
found student of government and
leader in securing our "Bill of
Rights"
These men knew from expert
ence the pitfalls that must be
avoided for they had lived under
Government of England. and
hey knew the weakness of their
)Wn Articles of Confederation.
They had as resources, the docu-
nents and constitutions of many
orms Of government, and as proof
# their worth, the success or fail
ire of the government they pre-
ented.
They called the Constitutional
convention and one by n an
wered the questions facing them:
lhat form of government should
e established? How should the
.ates be represented? How should
be apportioned? Should Ne
'oes be counted as population?
nould Congress have the power
regulate commerce?

Worlds Funniest MAN.?

America has a rich tradition
In wit and humor. Our native
funnymen-the Mark Twains.
George AIDES. Ring Lardners,
Oliver Herfords and others
still live, in a sense. because
their Jokes, satirical quips and
comedy gems are still a part OF
the language. Everybody has
his or her own favorite wit, de-
pending on individual taste. but
according to the record there
is one man who has proven
himself the funniest man in his
tory. He is neither q comedian
nor O comic writer. by trade.
He is q dancing teacher named
Arthur Murray.
For more than IS years. the
witty pearls tossed of by Arthur
Murray have been reported in
the daily press, magazines and
digests. Murray has a joke
and sometimes seven or eight
for any topical occasion. He
apparently seeks no publicity for
his dance studios. All he wants
Is his name in the papers, max
ing some Joke or other. He must
know what he's doing because
today his name Is on 375 dane
Ing schools and his gross income
from these studios is around $40
million q year.
Murray started being a wit
years ago when he hired his first
press agent. The press agents
father ran a clipping service
and. Of course, received news
papers from all over the world.
Murray's publicist Just cut out
every original joke or funny
story from local or obscure pa
pers and sent them to the Broad
way columnists credited to Ar
thur Murray. In no time at all,
Murray was the towns newest
wit.
Being funny apparently paid
dividends, because Murray has
long since been the biggest en-
ployer Of press agents as well
as the biggest dance school name.
There are currently six separate
press agents who keep Murray
funny for this column. I have
no idea how many others there
are. Keeping the funniest man
funny Is big business. One press
agent admits that he averages
almost $1,000 a week Just getting
Arthur Murray Jokes printed.
\ Il
But Murray Jokes are hard
work. Murray pays by the Joke;
nobody gets q fiat salary. Muir
ray has one price for the top
columnists, another for the fair
ly popular columnists and still
another for the lower strata Of
