September 17 will be Constitution Day There will be here and there orations meetings of patriotic societies pieces in the papers and almost everywhere some observance in the public schools Including those of Bangor The public school is the proper place for beginning study of the Constitution Thev children should have early acquaintance with the immortal document and we trust that the Bangor teachers will attend carefully to their proper Introduction in order that the rising generation may have a better understanding and higher appreciation of the basic law of the nation than ap- parently have their or most' mem- bers of Congress Most Americans seem to have only vague ideas concerning the if any ideas at all They know that there Is such a thing for they hear about it in political campaigns and see discussions of it in newspapers -but in the current phrase few bf them what it Is all They seem to think it Is' a good and probably necessary thing that will work automatically take care of itself last forever and be always available when needed But it is remote in its bearing upon them and their ordinary everyday affairs and so nothing to be especially concerned about Occasionally howsver a time arrives when a general realization of the importance of the Constitution is necessary and this Is one of those times Only the other day the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association re- -ported that In the course of its inquiries It had been to learn that not only the students but the Instructors of high schools and colleges knew very little about the Constitution or entertained some astonishing notions concerning it and the committee urged that a broad study of the Subject be Instituted continuing: The reason why the Committee has urged thls broad study of our government from the graded schools through the universities and over the radio is based on the stated belief of the Committee that democratic institutions of government throughout the world on trial as they have never been since they began their triumphant march with the American and French Revolutions toward the end of the Eighteenth and that since the World War: there has been a portentous change in the application of principles of odr form of government and the man Is blind who can not see It Nevertheless the United States hares with Great Britain a partial immunity from these destructive changes for In common with the mother country the American people still measurably enjoy the Individual rights whlch guaranteed by the first nine Amendments to the Constitution It can not be truthfully said that the reserved rights either of the States or the people thereof have enjoyed in sll respects a like Immunity from destructive John Mai-shaH Daniel Webster and all their illustrious school of expounders of the organic law are dead their voices silenced and they have few worthy successors in public life But their teachings may be continued from their works So let the school children be taughf it is quite as Important that the boys and girls should know something about the foundations of their own government as that they should be familiar with the history of the Punic Wars or with the causes that brought about the Fall of the Roman Empire the cotton crop Proeei In poking over the ruins of last conflagration most of the newspapers call the result a victory for' the New Deal The Portland Express however says Governor Brann Hamlin and Moran were elected not as an indorsement of the Deal but in spite of it The News called it an even break the Congressional delegation being split two and two As to the contributing factors in Demo-1 cratlc success we rather guess the Deal was foremost and manifestly very generous to the party And if there Is any truth in the Governor's persistent contention that a Democrat canget more relief from Washington than a Republicanrthen Maine should expect frequent and fruitful visits from the

prolong the debate and delay In reply to Howard of Thorndike Me and several others: The Frazier-Lemke amendment to the Agricultural Adjustment Act passed in the closing days of the last session of Congress was intended to supplement the work of the Farm Credit Administration in relieving the pressure of farmer borrowers The plan set up in the amendment appears to effect a virtual gift of the liens of security holders to their debtors If interpreted so as to accomplish this there is grave question as to whether the plan would not be in violation of the due process clause of the Fifth
