FIRST. ALBANY GOOD HEALTH “THE PAPER THAT HAS NO ENEMIES HAS NO FRIENDS. George Putnam Constitution Day Monday was Constitution Day—U.S.A. Constitution Day, that is. 1 he Constitution at its start was something brand new in the way of official paper»«. Those who put this great document together and signed it had pointed reasons for doing so. Getting this official paper approved by the individual states was no push over. The stony face of history proves that our government's founding fathers cut a governmental pattern in a common sense way. It is said that our Constitution is a “living" thing, Let’« see why. Events rocked along for the Constitution until the Civil War. Lincoln bluntly acted as if the Constitution were here for good. Lincoln, with some pretty good help, proved he was right in the action he took. Before his tragic death, certain special "interests" saw in our Constitution an element of “first come— first served”. An anti-South I . 8. Supreme Court realized this also and thereby declared a corporation a “person". This decision meant that a corporation has the same rights as you and I. ¥ ¥ ¥ Lincoln snorted in dismay at this trend of government. Andrew Johnson tried re-constructing the battered South as Lincoln would have. Johnson got himself impeached and almost convicted by Congress for his effort. Incidentally the South is still bleeding because of this ridicule of Johnson, Lincoln’s vice president. Civil War General I . 8. (¡rant, next president of the U.S.A., had a tough time getting anything constructive done by Congress. The Negro, in effect, had lost the vote he had got under Lincoln and the amended Constitution—northern carpet baggers saw to that! The South thus became a fountain of cheap labor. ¥ ¥ ¥ Judges of the U. 8. Supreme Court kept the Constitution in this rut until President Franklin D. Roosevelt came along. Enough of the judges retired or died until a new court came to life, These men put the power of our Constitution behind the express wishes of citizens, So-called “con- stitutionalists” have been raising heck about this trend since Taft says what the U.S.A, did and is doing in Korea is "unconstitutional”, The voters will have their say on this issue—come November, 1952. ¥ ¥ ¥ This right of the vote proves again that there is blood and muscle in our Constitution. The Constitution’s usefulness was shown when its power was used in dismissing MacArthur. At present an anti-communist con spiracy law is operating with the approval of the U. 8. Supreme Court. This law is a ticklish one for our Nation. Australia is meeting this matter face to face. That Nation's citizens are voting whether or not they will outlaw the communist party. At present the Australian constitution—like ours—does not allow outlawing the communist party. Yes, our Constitution is great, but the citizens of the U.S.A, are greater. Citizens' wishes are commands to the living Constitution—may it always be so! Let us hope our Constitution weathers the topsy-turvy years ahead as it has the hectic years in the past. May our Constitution remain always the sinew of justice and equality. MHMMM THE COMMERCIAL BOOK STORE SALEM 141 N.

Only thirty years ago oper ations on the lungs were great rarities and were performed with most e’aborate apparatus Most of these early operations were fatal. Today operations on the lungs are performed fre quently for tumors and tuber culosis.
