Rand of the Ore gon supreme court said in his ad dress which was a part of the Con- : Btitutlon day obserranee at the Klwanis club luncheon Tuesday Americans are likely to forget that their liberties hare not always existed. Justice Rand said. Less than 300 years ago, Herbert Hoo ver would hare been shorn of his - ears in certain American colon ies if he had advocated the doc trines of the Friends faith; and Al Smith, if he bad lived in Eng land at the same time, would have - been hanged for his religious be liefs without a trial. Equal liberties The assurance of equal liber . ties in the constitution is respon- j sible for this nation's advance to the position of the richest and happiest nation of the world. Jus tice Rand concluded. Justice O. P. Coshow approach ed the- subject of the constitution from the historical angle In his talk. The convention which framed the constitution was not called for that purpose, but to bring about an agreement between the 13 in dependent nations on the Atlantic seaboard, whereby the Jealousies and differences which had arisen might be prevented from precipi tating war. Virginia took the in itiative, and George Washington was a central figure although he made few remarks other than those necessary as chairman. Divine Guidance Asked With all of America's great statesmen of that day present, the constitution was framed only after three months of bitter conflict within the secrecy of the conven tion room; and it was Benjamin Franklin, often classed as an athe ist, who frequently asked that di vine guidance be invoked in order to prevent disruption of the gath ering. There the battle between the advocates of states' rights and centralisation of government was fought out. Judge Coshow stated; the smaller colonies proving most stubborn in clinging to their sov ereignty, so that Rhode Island did not ratify the constitution until several years after It went Into effect.
