Mr. VinhiK eonipHniented the citi zens of Mudford upon fine turnout for ftr " attended bo many fine meetings In this room, for the purpose of honoring our heroes, BtalesnuMi and martyrs, thut were not the citizens of Medford to ma lie this nood a Knowing I would feel that some great catastrophe had occurred." The budren of Mr. Ylning'H address was that government Is tending to ward over-centralization with too much power placed in the hands of federal commissions. that , laws are passed hy a minority and ft need upon the people before they become the crystallzed opinion of the majority as evidenced by conduct of the majority, and that there 1h too much talk con cerning compliance with the consti tution and not enough actual living in acocrd with the principles act forth in that great document. ' "Consider tho history of the consti tution and constitutional government and we must consider the history of freeilotnitself," said Mi. Vining. "The constitution was not born at the con vention of 1 787; it was born thous ands of years before when men were seeking freedom. It was born when men left Kgypt. when men left As syria, when men' left liuhylonla: when i they went to that island In the Agean sea and founded altar of the Constitution Is the home of the American citizen." Karly in his address Mr. Vining di gressed to pay a .strong tribute to sis veterans of the Civil war, three of whom wero accompanied by their wives, and who occupied places of honor at the banquet table. The program opened with the sing ing of two verses of 'America." by the asscillblv fnllowml v ih li.txw.Wlim the banquet. "Still," ho said, "1 have ' "Silvered by Jtev. William Li. Hamil ton. .

"I therefore believe It is my duty to my country to - love it, to support (he constitution: to obey Ms laws '4 to respect its flag; . and to defend It against all ene mies."

Why was not that freedom self-perpetuating Why could the world not have been saved the Dark Ages ami the feudal system that followed? The seats of freedom were surountled by despotic countries, the powers of des potism slowly closing upon them like the jaws of some great engine of de struction. Converging forces of des potic power crushed them out of ex istence. "Then came the invention of the printing press, the placing of the bible In the hands of many and with this the desire of the individual to worship in his own way. flermany and Kng land were ready for democracy but the light of freedom was obliterated by that great moster, militarism, under the feulal system. The Magna Carta, the Hill of Rights, democratic move ments In the Netherlands and Italy, died In the darkness of despots' wills. , "What was ncdil.was a wide area sufficiently populated with people fir ed with the great Impulse of fretioin and willing to sacrifice everything." In his glowing, graphic manner Mr. Vining described the career of Chris topher Columbus and drove home th lesson of perseverance taught hy the exploit of that great fimire in our his tory. He described the development of England's colonies In America as the result of commercial activity and the unexpected growth of legislative assemblies within the colonies which culminated in self -government." a ml finally the constitutional convention of 1 7 87 "where the representatives of the colonies assembled with every idea of monarchy 1 3 separate govern ments for the thirteen separate colo nies find where the constitution was horn, the only instrument in the his tory of man for the practical opera tion of freedom In the face of tyran ny." The tendency toward bureaucracy In the Culled Slates in the present time was deplored by the speaker who Asserted that every twelve citizens In ) the 1'nlted States arc supporting one "document writer." The passage of laws hy the gross In legislatures and congress was a prae tlce which came In for a few moments of sly cere condemnation by Mr. Vin ing. "When Is a law a law?" asked Mr. Vining. "Not until It Is crystallzed public, opinion; not until the public has regulated Us conduct. In such a manner as to demonstrate that It Is In favor of such a law. No. I am not re ferring to any amendment lo the con stitution nor to any law In 'particular. How many laws are there on the statute hooks governing your morals and your conduct? Only seventy thousand." Mr. Vining scored the lac of train ing for citizenship in piodorn homes ami schools and asked If frivolous en tertainment and the enjoyment of modern superficial pleasures were true expressions of tho gratitude owed to martyrs who gave, their lives to preserve the union. Let debate and other worth while training for citizenship take the place of some of tho frivolous activities In the modern schools. If these things are crowding out tho worth while ac tivities crowd out some of the "frills" ami put back the cornerstone of citi zenship and liberty," admonished the speaker.

Royal Balloons remember also they areTrue Low-Pressure Balloons IF you are one of the thousands of car owners who have been attracted by the handsome appearance of the all black U. S. Royal Balloons, it will please you to know this These tires hold their good looks during the full period of their long service life. They do not show finger marks, mud or grease stains. The beauty of U. S. Royal Balloons is in ad dition to those characteristics which have made these tires famous. They are distinctive in being true Low-Pressure balloons. Their construction and design positively avoid the necessity of over-inflating the tires to insure long service. You can run them at genuine low air pressures and get the comfort that balloon tires are intended to give. - Their "Low-Pressure Tread" is flat. It pro vides much greater area of road contact than . a round tread, thereby distributing the weight evenly to every tread block. That is why the tread wears slowly and evenly. . The continuous flexing of a balloon tire on the road calls for great strength and flexibility of construction. Latex-treated Web Cord, the patented process developed and patented by the United States Rubber Company, meets this flexing perfectly and accounts for the excep tional mileage of U. S. Royal Balloons. . So U. S. Royal Balloons make a real contri bution to the beauty and the comfort of the modern car. Start now enjoying the advantages of true Low-Pressure balloons.
