The Constitution
Fifty-five of the best men in the
states were assembled at a conven
tion n Independence Hall, Phila
delphia, from May till September,
1787, for the purpose of revising the
Article of Confederation, because
the members of the small union of
thirteen states, were eager to have
a more perfect government and
union.
In order to revise the old law of
the land it was necessary to make
three compromises and a number of
changes. The! delegates thought
this too great a task, so they de
cided to make a new constitution.
George Washington was ma,o
president of the convention and was
trusted and respected very much
during the hard work of the writ
ing of the constitution. Jefferson
was absent from the convention be
cause at the time he was serving as
minister to France. Madison was
called the "Father of the Constitu
tion," because of the great Intelli
gence he showed In wording and
planning the laws of the constitu
tion. The three compromises which
were written were the Connecticut
Compromise, which said that eacli
state should have the same number
of senators but the representatives
according to the population. My an
other compromise it was decided
that three-fifths of the slaves be
counted In making the number of
representatives. The third one WK
to forbid people from bringing
slaves In after twenty wars.
It was arranged to have three de
partmrnts In the government. The
Legislative department was for the
purpose of making the laws, the Ju
dicial department was for judging
taws and the Executive department
was for enforcing the laws.
The Legislative department pon
sisted of Congress. The (nullifica
tions of the United States senators
kre: Thirty years old, nine years a
citizen of the United Btatee, and a
resident of the state from which he
Is chosen. The Representatives are
required to be twenty five years of
ago, seven years a citizen of the
United States, and a resident of the
state from which he Is chosen The
members of the Senate and the!
House of Representatives which
form Congress meet once a year,
and on the first Monday of Decem
ber. If a-hill Is to become a law It is
first Introduced by some member of
the house and read by the reading
clerk, referred to the committee to
act upon, road twice by the read
ing clerk, debated on, voted on by
the roll-call system and after II has
gone through this process In both
houses It Is sent to the president.
If.hf signs or keeps it ten days
and Congress has not adjourned, It
becomes a law. Hut If he vetoes it,
It Is not a law unless the house puss
over his veto by two-thirds vote.
Congress was given power to lay
and collect tuxes, borrow money, ad
mit new stutes, maintain a navy,
declare wur, coin money, estubllsh
postof flees and to puhh laws neces
sary to curry out the above powers.
The Executive department Is vest
ed In the president of the United
States. Anyone who Is to be n
president of the United Stutes has
to be thlrty-rive yeurs old, a natural
born citizen of the United States,
and a resident fourteen years be
fore election. The only way the pres
ident or other high officers can be
removed from office, against their
Mill, is Impeachment.
The powers of the president are:
He shall be commander In chief of
the army and nnvy, fill nil vacnn
cles, grant reprieves and pardons,
mnke treaties wtth the ronsenit of
the senate and appoint ministers
and ambassadors to foreign coun
tries. His duties are: To see that
laws are enforced, deliver messages
to Congress, call extra sessions, re
ceive ambassadors and ministers,
commission nil of flaws, and consid
er all bills passed by Congress.
The Judicial department Is vest
ed in one Supreme Court and In the
Inferior courts that congress" may
i t.ihlish. The federal Judges get
their positions by being appointed
by the president They serve as long
as thoy show good behavior. At the
age of seventy they may retire on
good pay.
The ten amendments that
wore added when It was made are
called the Hill of Rights. The
eleventh was suits against stutes;
teltih. direct election of president
nnd vice president; thirteenth, freed
Slaves; fourteenth, made them cit
izens; fifteenth, gave them suffer
age; sixteenth, income tax; seven
teenth, election of United State
senators; eighteenth, prohibition,
and nineteenth, woman sufferage.

will be held and to the visitling
teachers from Irrigon and elsewhere
In this vicinity a cafeteria luncheon
will be served at noon of that day.
It is desirable that as far as pos
sible, the attendance be restricted
to adults as the presence of numer
ous children will only serve to cre
ate confusion and embarrassment
that is difficult to apologize for.
Everyone should cooperate In

and enthusiastic.

intendent J. A. Churchill will be
present, also County Superintend
ent Lena Snell Shurte. Patrons of

education are cordially invited to
attend these meetings.
A special program Is being ar
ranged for the afternoon.

week, the fifth and sixth grades be
ing the first to lead out. Others
will follow with the work soon.
Mrs. Stevens was a school visitor
last Tuesday.

Freshman (From English, fresh,
raw, new, and man; though this
last quality is not found in Board
man. Sophomore (From English: soft
and more.. Hence softer than other
classes, especially about the head.)
Junior (Origin unknown, but
probably from June, one who looks
forward to June, possibly for love,
let us assume.)
Senior (One who has seen, hence
an experienced and wise person.)
Outline (From out and line) An
Instrument of torture, designed to
bring out the lines of worry on eve
ry pupil's face. Devised by teachers.
Office: (English, off and ice.) A
place where you get a reception as
cold as a cucumber from the re
frigerator. On a bright September morning,
With his lunchbox tight in hand;
Mother sent a little Freshman
Off to join the High School band.
Soon this Freshle made a Sopho
more, Just as all good Freshles do,
If they stick to first year Latin,
And attend to p and q.
When this freak and friendly Soph
omore Joined the Junior class,
'Twas by chance he made the third
year
On an unexpected pass.
When he reached the Senior quart
ers He could ever laugh and talk.
Not a word the teachers chided
When they did together flock.
Now the Senior sits and puzzles
On a problem that's not new;
"What," he asks, "in all crea
tion, Can a graduate find to do?"
