FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1925 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON PAGE THREE DAY PROCLAIMED - BY The schools of thought ropro aented by Hamilton and Jefferson are set over against each other In a Constitution Day proclamation Issued yesterday by Governor Pierce, the latter termed that which lilncoln lo.ter described as "a gov ernment of the people, by the people and for the people." The proclamation urges a celebration of the day throughout the state. It follows: "On September 17, 1787, is a memorable day in American his tory. It was -on that day that the constitution of our government was finally signed. The constitutional convention had been in session many weeks, and its deliberations were the source of much debate. "Two schools of thought strug gled to write into this constitution their opposite views. On the one hand was the able and brilliant Hamilton, seeking to create a strong central government with the wealthy class in control; the lull intent was to array property on the side of government. Distrust j ing the ability .of the people to gov- j in themselves; he was a firm ad vocate of the old-world aristocracy. "On the other hand wob Madi son, representing the Jefferaonian Ideas, advocating a government Which was later bo aptly describ ed by Lincoln as a government "of the people, by the people and tor the people." He held that per sonal liberty was vastly more im portant than property rights. It yvnx this Idea that won the contest and forever wrote into our consti tution such terms as "inalienable rijhls," "equal rights and privil eges before the law," "freedom of religion," "freedom of the press," 'freedom of speech,", "freedom of assembly," "freedom of petition" and "due process of law." "Under this constitution the United States government has grown from a narrow strip along the Atlantic coast, consisting of but thirteen colonies, to the mightiest nation In the world. "Human nature Is the same to day as It ever has been. Predatory Interests etill seek special privil gea; gigantic combinations of wealth strive to build up a money ed aristocracy; we still have with us these who would deprive the people of their dearly-bought rights Never Jn the 138 years of our his tory has there been greater need for our people to read again and again the real story of the making of that wonderful document, the constitution of the United States. A study of the issues then discuss ed will aid In understanding the vita! issues of today the age-old struggle between the aristocrat and the democrat. It Is especially fit ting on this 138th anniversary of the signing of that great document that our people turn once moro to a study of the foundation on which cur government rests. "Now, therefore, I, Walter M. Pierce, governor of the state of Oregon, do hereby proclaim Thurs day. September 17, 1925, as Con stltution Day and I urge that Its suitable observance be celebrated throughout the state.' Helps Husband Brand Rival 1; ff--ny t d wa-id.

AMITY PHONE RATE PROTEST CANCELLED The public service commission yesterday rescinded a recent ord?r tor investigation of the rates nil practices of the Amity Mutual Tclcnhone company. This was done because the ctly of Amity withdrew Its protest against lncrenao in the rates. The conimls'.son, in the case of Mrs. Lllith A. Dlough against the Southern Pacific company, issued an order for a farm crossing near Lafayette. Application of the city of Port kind for a grade crossing on r troet was denied.

LAST TIMES TODAY "V I w -ti 'might life OF , NEW YORK OREGON To the Editor: It seema that it is the custom of the American peo ple to try every known wrong thing or way before they try the known right way. The recent prlaon break is a climax, locally, of this custom, I predicted before the investiga tion of the course of the break by Atty. Carson, that tolerance step by stop, led to the tragedy. This investigation was non political, and as it revealed political toler ance, there was a political investi gation to discredit the fault find ing. Unleas there 1a a thoro houee cleaning at the state penitentiary the public should investigate the investigators at the polls. I voted for La Follelte because he was on a platform for national house cleaning, there was nothing better for me to do than to rebuke by my vote, our representatives for their perfidy. As voiced by the people, the moral conditions at "Washing ton are no better than they are at the Oregon slate penitentiary, and it seems that the hopes have all fallen off the stale criminal silo. In America there are two out standing protective forces, the pub lie schools and our police force. I have more confidence In the force without that fixes my moral bounds, than I have in my inherent moral control, the city, and state, fix the bounds, and the police bind the fix. I have more admiration for the two prison guards who lost their lives as a result of tolerance than I have for all the prisoners and officials who show no signs of reform. j The head In parking, spaced as it Is, illustrates another custom of trying the known wrong way for years before doing the known right way, this reminds mo of tho back in plan on tho league of nations. England, France, Japan and the United States, are on the crawfish back in policy, whllo tho world's laity are decidedly in favor of the head In parking for world's peace spaced and policed. The remedy for America's noral ills, as It appears, is the tr-n com mandments applied with their pre fix Thou shalt not, stressed. This must bo England's remedy, and It is a repeated statement that there is less crime in the whole of Eng land than in Chicago or New York, Our laws are too deflective and thereby discriminating. Lawful tolerance that hangs the poor and condones the rich for the same of fense Is intolerable, and crime pro duelng. The state and national leg islators who vote to pass a moral law which they do not Intend to observe and obey are not worthy of the trust imposed In them. If the reader Is not in sympathy with my vlewe. I would suggest the ad vice of Daws or Hughes. Respectfully, D. H. CLARK 1960 So. Commercial. trying to kill Kelly, for no other reason I- suppose, than to be blab bing, about something. Surely they have not looked beneath the sur face. Elsworth Kelly tried id re lease the Jones boys from Jail. (Perhaps they were his schoolmates and his sympathy got the best of him) and for that, he was sent to the Pen for 20 years, not becauso he did release them, but, Just be cause he dident. In mentality he is classed far above the average, he got out of the Pen once, in a load of flax, who wouldent, he tried again, and again, because, he, was smarter than those who should have been smart enough to keep him- In. In the battle of the break for freedom, Kelly risked his life. But did not Intend to kill. His own words, so often repeated while he fled, did not reveal a murderous beast. He was sorry for the guards, and kept saying, "we have done an awful thing now we have killed a man." he was sorry, sorry, his pale had done the awful thing. If Kelly hangs for a murder he dident do, Salem .will keep saying, wo have done an awful thing now, we have killed another innocent man, and why do you, besmear, so littely, the beautiful name Elsworth," tabooing It for babies. Raving about Willies, or was it Wallies, and Ellys and Sillies and Sallies, and Billies, and Bullies and bunk. Ridicule slung out to lntlmdate, they have to be torn to pieces, even for so noble a cause as saving a mans life. I am not defending a animal, Kelly com mltted no actual crime yet you, class him on the same level as thei man held in the Pen, only for a year and a half, for forgery, turn ed loose ,a murderous murderer of a one who was befriending him. Justice why are you hiding behind the law. Kelly stopped to grasp the hand of his dying friend (fatal though that friendship had been to him) stopped, where bullets were flying and liberty was at steak. Even an Indian would ad mire him for that (notice hlB characteristics, sorry for the guards, and true to a friend). Kelly Is not a murderer or a for ger, Incendiarlan, .or- robber, nor an Immoral fiend. The state Is wak Ing up, while It follows my pen, and from every mountain, and hill top, when I ask, what did Kelly do, echo answers, nothing, noth ing,; nothing. In spite of your Wll liesf and Wallies, and Sillies, and Sallies, Oregon will give me, a pardon for Kelly, ELLA M. FINNEY. Waconda, Sept. 9th, 1926.
