Shape and in readiness for Its big summer schedule as a result ot several
weeks work by members ot the ''Y"
staff. Lodges horve been cleaned, repaired and reroofed, a new drainage
system Installed at the main lodge,

"The 18th amendment makes a revolutionary change In the great principles of our constitutional law. Blindly have we made this change. It Is
time to open our eyes." There is a
chorus of replies, saying. "Who cares
how we get a good thing, Just so we
get It? Since we have the cherries ot
prohibition I don't give a rap how they
were picked, constitution or no constitution."
It makes no difference, dosen't It,
how the ladder Is set when I pick
cherlesT My little boy falls and breaks
his neck, and my carelessness is of no
conjeem? The plokers have dllrty.
greasy hands and they pay no heed to
how many bad or broken cherries they
mingle with the fruit. Upon the return
from the sale of which depends my
llvllhood: and farther. In the process
of getting the cherries they so tar
break the limbs and mar the trees that
their future usefulness Is gone. And
I core nothing for all of this? It makes
all the difference In the world. It
the proper care of a good tree and Its
fruit Is of so much concern, how much
more the proper care of a good constitution, upon which depends the weal
oi woe of myriad peoples.
Prohibition la a great good—may
we never consent to the open licensed
saloon again. Nevertheless, If in the
getting of prohibition, we so far mar
tbe constitutional tree or weaken its
roots that It will be subject more
easily to destruction by adverse winds
then we ought to know it, and find
at once a beter way. The action of
Governor Smith in signing the so-called anti-prohibition bill of New York
ought at least to lead us to serious
consideration of the merits of the American constitution.
Ours Is a popular government. If
we maintain it so, we must have an
informed citiienshlp. The fathers ot
this republic were students of the
science of government, par excellence.
Tho present age must return to a slm-
tar study, if it would preserve and promote the good of the commonwealth.
Before enquiring further aa to how the
18th amendment haa changed the spirit
of our constitution, let us consider
first the sort of constitution those fathers enacted.
Two great principles were ever kept
in view. The new state must be federal and it must be representative, It
must be a federal republc. The new
government could not be a pure democracy—It would be Impossible for
every person to pass upon every law
that must be enacted; and hence the
people were to choose deputies, representatives, to make and administer
the necessary laws. That is what we
mean by a republican form ot government, rather than a direct or democratic form. We speak of it as democratic, however, meaning that the people are Indeed the final source of
power.
By federal was mean a happy balance of power between tbe States and
the central government. The republic
was to be a dual system, a federal
system, wherein certain specified powers were handed over to a central
ot national government, and the rest
retained by the States, except In certain Instances where prohibitions were
made upon the States, all power spring
ing however eventually from the
people. The fathers had seen and
felt the danger of too much power
residing In a central authority. They
woud preserve local autonomy. Only
so could true freedom be preserved
to the people. Almost all police power, that is the internal police, was
reserved to the States and the people.
United States troops could not even
he iisi'd to suppress local Insurrection
save at the Invitation of a State. Now
what has all this to do with the 18th
amendment? The answer will appear
In te News-Times next week.
