The writer dereldped step by step his theme as to the working ralue and success of tbe Constitution. His last DaraarraTDh followa: "The commanding quality of this federal Constitution Is the fact that it Is not, like most political constitutions, ft mere restriction upon the authority of the governing powers of the states, but that It creates a new frame of arorernment. which it endows with certain power and from which deliberately withholds all powers not so erranted.

The gor ernment so constituted by it, there lore, is a gorernment or granted and. not of antecedent authority. Hence the Constitution Is not only tne supreme law or the land but comprehends within Itself the whole of that law." Henley deroted ft lare oart of hla eaaay to the sart the nubile thV democratic gorrnml "nha oasis or our Constitution." I "The strength of a gorernment I lies not In the rolume of law, but I in the thoroughness of them" he wrote. "In constantly creating ao many new laws, many of which are tinged with private interest, are we not in danger of overdoing democ racy? In the psssage of laws from which a few people seek to benefit, our Constitution is in dan ger of losing Its national character, borne say our constitution is an tique and. that we need a new one.
