September 17th
Anniversary of
the Constitution
President General of the Daughters
of the American Revolution
Writes of Adoption.
Through the courtesy of the Plattr
mouth Evening Journal, Fontenelle
Chapter, Daughters of the American
Revolution, are printing the follow
ing article for "Constitutioa Day,"
written by the President General N.
S. D. A. R., Mrs. Lowell Fletcher Ho
bart. The 17th day of September marks
the 14?.rd anniversary of the birth of
the constitution of the United States,
and. although assailed and attacked
continuously by "conscientious objec
tors" of all stripes, it remains stand
ing solidly as the rock of Gibraltar,
a sufficient proof of its soundness.
On the 17th day of September,
1787, thirty-nine American patriots
affixed their signatures to the docu
ment under which this nation has de
veloped into the happiest and most
prosperous country in all the world.
September 17th should be pro
claimed a legal holiday throughout
this great land, bo that all may be
reminded to pause and contemplate
with reverence and appreciation the
service rendered the nation and its
people by those great patriots, and
to honor the national charter itself.
Just what is this mystic document
which was so ably prepared by these
founders of a new government? "It
is a simple, plain, practical, plan of
government, made," as Robert Mor
ris said, "by plain, honest men." It
consists of a preamble, seven articles,
and nineteen amendments. In style
it is clear, concise, and direct. It is
not ambiguous and vague; it is not
flowery and ornate; it speaks in sim
ple, everyday language, practical,
definite, and to the point. It indulges
in no fine-spun theories about the
science of government, nor does it
expatiate on the type of government
it outlines. It settles immediately on
sound, fundamental specifications.
The constitution is broad, compre
hending the whole plan of our gov
ernment; but it is brief ... merely
an outline, the "core and law" . . .
leaving details to be supplied by
statute. The original constitution
contained less than one hundred sen
tences. With its amendments it does
not exceed over seven thousand words,
and it can be read in half an hour.
However, more than four months
were consumed in writing the con
stitution, while it required almost a
year to have it ratified by the var
ious states and another year to es
tablish the new government. It lias
long been considered the greatest
document of its kind in history.
Tempests of political strife, emo
tion, and passion have beaten in vain
against our great constitution. It has
successfully withstood every test of
time and circumstance. Let tis hope
that the American people will con
tinue to uphold its principles and
ideals and safeguard it against the
new radical attacks that are being
made against it, and attempts at its
subdivision.
Constitution Hall was erected by
the Daughters of the American Revo
lution to symbolize the fact that this
organization has not out-grown the
constitution, that they do not consid
er it archiac or outworn.
I cannot agree with those who pro
claim the constitution "older and
more out of date than the oldest cot
ton gin." Such slanderers of this
masterpiece should move on beyond
our borders into countries whose gov
ernments offer that desired "newer
and brighter prospect for human hap
piness," that different "freedom" of
which they speak, and allow loyal
and satisfied citizens of this country
to enjoy the happiness, freedom, and
protection which has been made pos
sible by our own constitution.
Let us remember what Lincoln
said:
"Continue to execute all the
express provisions of our nation
al constitution and the Union
will endure forever, it being im
possible to destroy it except by
some action not provided for in
the instrument itself."
The time has come when all should
be put to the test of either subscrib
ing to constitutional doctrines or ad
mitting disloyalty to he United States.
The constitution must survive, the
government of the United States can
not properly function by public in
difference to the constitution, the
"core of the law."
Let us awaken anew to the bene
fits which we derive from the consti
tution, and let us all thank God for
providing us with the talent of those
thirty-nine great statesmen who were
responsible for the document. Let us
pray that we may always be able to
defend it against its most vicious at
tackers, so as to preserve "The Land
of the Free and the Home of the
Brave."

Farm Price
Index is Sent to
Low Ground
Department of Agriculture- in Ex
port Says Level Is Below
Record Hit in 1921
Washington A 3 percent reces
sion of farm prices from July 13 to
Aug. 15 was said Tuesday by the de
partment of agriculture to havo sent
the farm price index below the lowest
level reached in 1921. This tec-line
followed a sharp break in the farm
price level the preceding n.onth. As
of Aug. 15 the index was 108 com
pared with 111 on July 15, with 123
on June 15 and 143 a year r.go.
From Aug. 15 to Sept. 10, how
ever, price advances at primary mar
kets outweighed declines, altho cot
ton and wheat failed to maintain
their gains into the Crst part of Sep
tember. The gains have been most
noticeable in hogs, cattle, potatoes
and butter, the department said.
"While the drop between June 13
and July 15 was general for prac
tically all farm products included in
the index," the department said,
"there were seme advances between
July 15 and Aug. 15 but rot suffici
ent to offset, the downward trend in
other commadities. All grain and
hay prices averaged higher on Aug.
15 than on July ls, reflecting the
drouth conditions.
"Hog prices advanced on a lighter
volume of marketing and prices cf
eggs, butter and wool also advanced
from their very low levels in Jul-.
Put considerable declines took place
in apples and potatoes, which because
of light crops In 1929 had not de
clined to the same extent as other
commodities earlier this year, and
beef cattle and sheep and lambs de
clined to new low levels. The far:n
price of cotton was also lower by
half a cent a pound on Acg. 15."
Wheat prices continued at a o-jt
level, with some prospects of im
provement in the demand for wheat
before the end of the season. At
present, prices wore described as de
prepsed by increases in estimates of
production in the United R'ates and
Canada, and shipments from Russia,
in the fact of a world wide financial
and business depression.
The department termed the price
of wheot low compared with corn,
adding that it seldom happened "th. t
a bushel of corn can be sold fr
more than a bushel of wheat,"
