THE SUIT Sun is an Artist When he gets him up; Sun is an Artist When he goes to sup; But Sun is no Artist When he rides high; He is an 'Anarchist, Bombing earth and sky. When he is an Artist, He purples the hill, And sprinkles gold dust On the brown mill; He makes each grass-blade A lance of gold. And splotches the sky In masses bold. But when he Is an Anarchist He strips the earth bare, And shows in its nakedness Whatever is there.

In this work the Secretary of the Interior is bending his every energy to base the national program on sound scientific facts. The White House Conference call ed by President Hoover is the third of its kind, and is designed to be productive of concrete achievement to complement and complete the work in this direction that was essayed by Former Presidents Roosevelt and Wilson. As has been well said, this third conference is directed toward the actual realization of the child's Bill of Rights which President Hoo ver wrote when President of the American Child Health Association: "The ideal to which we should strive is that there shall be no child in America that has not been born under proper conditions; that does not live in hygienic surroundings; that ever suffers undernourishment; that does not have prompt and effi cient medical attention and inspec tion; that does not receive primary instruction in the elements of hy giene and good health; that has not the complete birthright of a sound mind in a sound body; that has not the encouragement to express in full est measure the spirit within, which is the final endowment of every hu man being." This Bill of Rights, more fully realized, would give to America the future greatest citizenry of the earth. To approximate this realization the full resources of the Government are to be employed, as Secretary Wilbur has said, to the end that a new type of procedure may be discovered by which all necessary data may be se cured and the great work of child health, protection and conservation carried forward to definite comple tion. GANGEIMER . . Murray, Neb. ASSASSINATING THE U. S. CONSTITUTION The Indianapolis News, one of the strongest newspapers in the Middle West, and long a supporter pi na tional prohibition, has changed its mind about it. Testifying before the House Judi ciary Committee last week, C. P. Con nolly, a writer, said that the metro politan newspapers of the United States are dropping poison into the breakfast cups of the people. As a matter of fact the metropolitan papers of the United States, or almost all of them, are trying to save the American Constitution. That freedom which a metropolitan environment enables them to enjoy if they will is sufficiently clear-eyed and undisturb ed by public clamor to see in nation al prohibition a peril to our form of government and ruin to the great foundation upon which it rests. Except for the metropolitan news papers there would by this time be left little or nothing of the Consti tution of which Gladstone said that it is "the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain or purpose of man;" of which Byrce wrote: "It rankB above every other written constitution for the in trinsic excellence of its scheme, its adaption to the circumstances of the people, the simplicity, brevity and fits precision of its language, its judicious mixture of definiteness in principle with elasticity in detail;" which De Tocqueville called "the most perfect Federal constitution that ever existed;" and of which the historian Fiske said that it was made by a group of men "containing among themselves a greater amount of poli tical sagacity than he'd ever before been brought within the walls of a single room." After visiting for 10 years the troubled scene induced by prohibi tion, the News concludes that we are 'assassinating" the Constitution. Not withstanding its long championship of national prohibition, the Indian apolis paper cannot agree that any objective is worth so great a sacrifice. It therefore abandons its support of "the noble experiment," and an nounces that so far as it is concern ed the experiment is a failure. What we are doing, it says, is to change the nature of the Constitution. It re minds us that the Constitution was designed to be nothing more than the framework of government, and as serts that we are converting it into a bundle of statutes a moral code. "The founders of the Republic," says the News, "realized that only the most general rules could be applied to a territory as extended as our ter ritory even then was, and to a people that differed widely among them selves in many important particulars. But now we are not only legislating in the Constitution which in itself is a mistake and a very serious one but legislating in regard to mat ters which the fathers would have left, and meant to be left, to the people in their local communities, and for a country vastly more ex tended than the fathers ever dream ed It would be, and for a vastly more diverse population." It was inevitable that the issue as to national prohibition should resolve itself into a fight for and against the American Constitution. Many of the metropolitan newspapers, including the Post-Dispatch, have foreseen that this is what the issue would come to. Even before the Federal Judiciary lifted its voice against violating the constitutional rights of the people to enforce national prohibition, and when the United States Supreme Court had failed to do so, the metro politan newspapers had protested against what Justice Brandeis has characterized as outlawry upon the part of the Government itself. The News has allied itself with this school of thought. It therefore says that "the question raised by the eighteenth amendment is not one of liquor or no liquor," which Is an in cident. It is a question of "what can be put in the Constitution without Impairing its force, changing its character and ultmately destroying it as a constitution." That is the point. How long Ib It going to be until influential news papers like the Detroit News, the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, the Atlanta Constitution, the Memphis Commercial-Appeal, the Dallas NewB, the Kansas City Star, the Louisville Courier-Journal and the Houston Post-Dispatch, also admit it? St. Louis Post-Dispatch. :o: A Chicago paper is responsible for this one: "An English woman who had not spoken a word for ten years broke the silence the other day, and explained why she had ' kept still. She had repeated scandal about a young woman, and the girl, hearing of it, had committed suicide. The tale-teller, horrified at what she had done, sentenced herself to silence for a decade. That woman should have a statue." AFRICANIZATION OF MEXICO Americans who have lamented Mexico's seemingly stubburn resist ance to the process of Americaniza tion need lament no longer. The ice has been broken, and the indifference and the hostility to Americans so long noted below the Rio Grande will quickly melt away, if history repeats itself. The first evidence that Mexico is yielding to the gospel of the hundred per centers is the recall from Moscow of the Mexican envoy as a protest against community demonstration be fore the Mexican embassies in Wash ington, Buenos Aires and Rio Jane iro. No red-frenzied Washington poli tician could have better executed that gesture, so typically American ism. This tracing of labor troubles and fanatical demonstrations to the Soviets is reminiscent of the post war days when great fear was exer cised by certain public men over the possibility of the red flag being run up over the White House. The sus picion that all critics of an old es tablished government are clandestine recipients of bolshevik gold is a char acteristic of the prevailing spirit in some quarters. Mexico has leaped the breach. What next? Government by commis sion, bureaucratic government, mor ality by legislation? :o: Advertise your wants tn the Want A rlnTnn for onicV ref.njt the Journal office. 50c each. NOTICE To Harry H.
