Mr. John Bee Webster’s address on /Washington and the Constitution'’ continues: "Contention between those who favored a strong central government and those who believed in state’s rights continued hitter. The stirring events of the time appealed to the earnest heart and powerful intellect of the precocious hoy. Alexander Hamil ton, the youthful master of political science. Time concedes to him that of all the statesmen of the 18th cen tury, he fctands pre-epjinent and he is usually depicted at the helm of the ‘ship of state.’ He had been Washington's aide-de-camp and com panion and they were in close ac cord. On the 18th day of June Hamilton delivered that masterly oration on the theory of a national government, which carried the minds of the mem bers to a higher plane and loftier ideals. Benjamin Franklin told the convention that if it continued to be divided on local interests Its projects would ho confounded and its mem bers themselves become a. reproach and a byword to future ages. Governor Morris Speaks. "It seemed that the convention would break up with nothing done when Gouverneur Morris began that series of brilliant speeches that sparkled with bright thoughts and epigrammatic statements which ap pealed to the patriotism of Ilia audi tors. A government by a compact between slates is going bark to a mere treaty, and not government at all. A firm government only can protect, our liberties. "Ho came to the, convention as a representative of America: he flat tered himself, he came in some degree as a representative of the whole hu man race. He w ished gentlemen to ex tend their views beyond the present moment of time, beyond the narrow limits of place from which they de rived their political origin. 'This country must be united. If persua sion does not unite it. the sword will.’ The question then at issue was tem porarily settled by compromise, hut within our day the country has beer united by the sword. "Washington continued to look with alarm and displeasure upon the advocates of state sovereignty. Hamilton 'Wrote him lie was more and more convinced it was the criti cal opportunity fur establishing the prospeYity of tile country on a solid foundation, to which Washington re piled: 'The men who oppose a strong and energetic government are in wy opinion narrow minded politicians or are under the influence of local views. 1 am sorry you went away. I wish you were hark. The crisis »s equally alarming, and no oppose tion under such circumstances, should discourage exertions until the signature is offered.’ Most Important Historical Event. “The framing and adoption of the constitution is the most Important event in American history; for other wise there would have been 13 in dependent nations instead of one, which would have meant ruin for America. Hail it not been for the firmness of Washington, Madison, Hamilton, Jay and Wilson there would have been four republics In stead of one. Had it not been for the firmness of Hamilton and his courage in debate. New York state would have remained out of the union, which would have been a calamity. Again was Wash ington's influence needed when it came to having the constitution adopted by the people of the states. There were disturbances in Pennsyl vania and riots in New York. Patrick Henry talked of forming a southern confederacy. It was the supremo in fluence of Washington, united with the wisdom of Madison and eloquence of Randolph, that saved Virginia, and which, united with the powers of Hamilton and Jay, that overcame the stubborn resistance of Governor tTin ton and Melanthon Smith of New York. » “Although Hamilton. Morris. Mad ison, Franklin and others had done so much for the colonics, their in fluence vu not enough to stay the wave of opposition. Rut 'where,' says McMrfster. ‘was the villian black hearted enough to say that Washing ton was recommending a constitution ruinous to the liberties he had done so much to secure?’ It was the faith of the people in the resplendent mer its of Washington that saved the con stitution from defeat in the state con ventions. Washington Almost Divine. "The greatest work in the life of Washington was now completed. It was the mind of one man exercising a controlling influence in molding the sentiments of his countrymen. It was the mind of one man exercising the power over millions of people to a degree that passes my comprehen sion. I cannot understand the phe nomena of the solar system and changing seasons. It passes my un derstanding and comprehension. Ho may I say of the lifework and influ cnee of George Washington: It. too, passes my understanding and com prehension. As God created and controls the movements of the universe. He seems to have created George Washington as a central planet of the human race, to carry them with him in that great plan to form a republican government on a constitutional basis for the ele vation and betterment of mankind. "In our agony of glory from 1774 to 1783, George Washington became 'first In war.’ In the presidential char, and by lii^ farewell address ne became ‘first in peace,' and by the creation and adoption of the federal constitution, he became the ‘father of his^^intry.’ We cannot think of Forge without thinking of George Washington. Wo cannot think of Yorktown without thinking of George Washington. We cannot think of freedom and liberty' without think ing of George Washington. We can not think of the union of the colonics without thinking of George Washing ton. As we cannot tfiinlc of the Declaration of Independence without thinking of Thnmaq Jefferson, so we cannot think of the constitution cf the 1’nitcd Htates without thinking of George Washington. To forget George Washington is.to forget Amer ica." Mr. Webster has also said: "1'nroll the scrolls of history from the time of Alexander to Caesar, from Charle magne to Napoleon, from William the Conqueror to Cromwell, and no one. in his useful work for mankind, or in national government, will compare with Washington. He stands above them all in illustrious fame and in un approachable grandeur. The men who refused to sign the constitution were urging the inclusion of popular fal lacies that were as old as Methusalch and played their part In the down fall of Greece, Home and other coun tries." He quotes on the constitution: "It will be the wonder and admira tion of all future generations and the model of all future constitutions,” says William Pitt. "It is the greatest piece of work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man," says Gladstone. "The history of Greece and Rome give us nothing to equal it, and nil attempts to impose servitude upon such a mighty continental nation must be. in vain." said Lord Chatham, the Demosthenes of England. "It was from Hamilton's lips that came the finest utterance ever made, concerning human liberty: The sacreif rights of mankind are written as with a sunbeam, by the hand of Divinity itself, never to be erased or obscured by mortal power’," said President Harding. Hymn on the Constitution. The Constitution, there It towers, A beacon in a storm tossed world. To us belongs the pious task To ward from it fast gathering foes. Both those who lurk 'neath friend ship's mask And those w ho deal It hostile .blows.

Do you know that every Eskimo home and fishing schooner has its gramaphone from which can l>e heard the latest gem from Jeritza or the jazziest fox trot 'line within six months after the records have left American factories? Do you know that leading men of the tribes of the “husklea’’ in this "land of the midnight sun" in the inner reaches of the aretie circle use typewriter® for their correspondence? It is so! H. A. Warner, former chief engi neer of I lie Albert government rail ways. Who has Just reached Van couver, British Columbia; aftei spending a whole year in the heart of Ksklmoland, related these facts on arrival here. Warner's opinion is that the iiski rnos are the most progressive or an> native tribes today. The majority, lie says, read and write their own language, and a large percentage of them read and write English, as well. Domestically the housewives ore ho progressive they even specify certain brands when ordering canned fruit of Californian or other origin from the stores, the leading stores carrying mi st of the foodstuffs de manded by Canadian or AmerU«Q shoppers in parts regarded as being within the confines of civilisation.
