To make the consti tution correspond with the declaration of independence in that "all men were created free and equal," tc, cost- the hntion thousands of lives and billions in money, and property, ' , : Socialists propose nothing but ed ucation under the searchlight of In telligent criticism. ' : ' Sacred Document. " i i v , The constitution was a stolen docu rrent imposed upon the people. ' Its framers slyly Imposed themselves up-1 cn the people and 'operated - behind closed doors, and to cover their tracks' they come within one vote of burning j the'.record of their proceedings, The j sacred or Immortal document, so much I revered by all, is the declaration of i independence; of which the constitu tion Is not even an attempt of a ra- flex. The roal spirit of the constitu-'-t'on is the personage of Alexander . Hamilton, of aristocratic makeup, who ' three different times tried to defeat tha formation of a republic by giving Us a president elected for life. Ht ' did finally succeed in his purpose by giving us a spreme court chosen iov life that is move autocratic than any Eurnpoan sovereign. Incfllclcncy of l'resent ConstituHon, : The reason why the present form of the constitution answered' tor a while the demands of the 'republl's was because of the unexplored and unin habited interior and faraway parts of the republic, that permitted expansion for the inhabitants and did. not force a state of congestion upon society. Our constitution would riot have sufficed for the demands of the Frencli repub lic at Its beginning for the reason stated.' Our, present '.Industrial" 'and social system, taken with the. broad grown, ita present form until it pre ened demands of the peop'e, has out tents Itself a useless anpendage to our modern demands for legtslntlon. : Frco School Mnnnstomi'iit. Tha-fact That our; : free-jschool "man agement is biased and ; fossiiizfil is one of the greatest reasons viiy 'we fall of more practical advancement. Does it not present to the observer that each mind is being warped by 'a tradition that forbids a. free advance ment along unexplored lin.)s.' Does not the church, the state Mid preda tory Interests dominate the public school by their administrative power to the lack of full development, and progress?, To deny this Is to deny so cial evolution. What gave China her new republic? Not , the ." fossilized teachings of the Manchti dynasty. What has given us overy change for the betterment of society? Never the l present ruling administratis So cialists are only asking fot (air play and just decisions. The coining gen eration are fully able to digest the things that present themselves to them cr we are disintegrating socially and morally and will eventually become barbarians again. Primitive Society, Primitive Xccd. The service of tbe supremo court was acceptable to a large degreo in our beginning. We were then but a mere handful uninformed disfran chised citizens. Some Idea may be formed of our practical ability for self government, when wo learn that less than . one-third of the soldiers, who fought In the Revolution which made it possible for a constitution, were not allowed to vote for or against - Its, adoption. " , 1 ' At that time we were without free ! schools, had little knowledge of print-' Ing, limited mall and transportation facilities; had only home manufactor. : les and no telegraph or common means of communication more ad- sS4ffiSSE vanced than the lights in the tower '. : and Paul Revere to ride. Our enem- icj were either tbe red skins at our ( backs or the possibilities of an inva sion froin over the seas. Ench citi zen lived in his own immediate envir onment and the great inter so-jlnl strife, now going on in society, caus ed by the present class struggi unknown, What Interest had tne or dinary citizen In the affairs or gov ernment, as long as protect:., was guaranteed from without and trnnnnllitv at home was Hoc molested by the landlord or tax gatherer.
