What Has The Constitution
To Say, Is Our Appeal
America celebrates this week the
150th anniversary of the Constitution and , „ , ....
should bring out some clarifying thoughts doors from thc college 3U‘ dlir‘g’
on the relation that document bears to the1 moving ceiling from sch°o1 buildings and
ther thaii following those documents creak-
ed for the people, when such leadership
would take hia election as a mandate from
the people to scrap the fundamental doc-
trines on which the Nation has been run,
has been the ruination of some countries
now in existence. Liberties vouchsafed in
this country are all discarded by such mad
leaders. They have their emissaries in this
country and are spreading their doctrines
with all avidity in the hope that some day
they shall get a strangle hold here.
It is well we have this periodical call
back to the constitution of the United
States.
Personalties are intermixed with our
documents—there is no escaping that. But
we must not come to the point where we
are blind followers of men who would
scrap the precious document or mutilate it.
America is not a nation of hero wor-
shippers and must never be. They should
worship at only one shrine, and that is the
shrine of truth that makes men free and
equal. We do not worship the constitu-
tion, nor is it a document inspired by the
divine hand, but loyalty to its body of
truth is better for all of us than blind fol-
lowing of any man.

garner for president
Senator Burke of Nebraska
thinks Vice President John Garn-
er of Texas would be a good
choice for the Democratci party
to make as it goes to nominate
a candidate for the presidency
in 1940.
Well, why not?
Garner was the choice of mil-
lions in 1932 for that same post
and he was still deemed, after
being defeated for the chief po-
sition, of such stature as to met
being viec-president, a post he
has filled efficiently and states-
manlike, reflecting greater credit
upon himself and Texas.
Burke particularly likes Garn-
er’s “qualities of hard common'
sense.” That’s what it takes
nowadays to combat the economic
hocus pocus boys of the millen •
ium school.
It is also true that Garner has
inherited some of the Roosevelt-
ian philosophy, although he al
ready had a great deal of it,
and wou’td be better equipped in
1940 than he was in 1932 to
achieve "the greatest good for
the greatest number.”
I Garner would be a happy
choice, as a successor to the cur-
rent benefactor.—Greenville Ban-
ner.
RIGHT YOU ARE, BROTHER
John Garner is being favorably
mentioned as the next Democrat-
ic nominee for president. We
doubt if John has any intention
of pushing the movement, and we
doubt more that he would have
any chance to win were he to do
so. The Southern Democrats ere
going to have a slim chance for
any favors from the next Demo-
cratic convention. They surren-
dered their advantuge when they
submitted to Roosevelt’s plan to
change the two-thirds rule to ma-
jority rule. Thc Eastern and
Northern members to the party
(who are strictly Eastern and
Northern interest supporters)
will control the next convention.
They are not at all likely to select j
a Southern man for standard-
hearer.—Bonham Favorite.

, SYNOPSIS
Qerard Montieth, a man of great
Wealth, about 50, is found dead in
the hammock on a porch off his li-
brary. Harlan Stevenson, a for-
mer detective and now author of
many crime mystery novels, well
acquainted with Montieth and his
niece, Mary, knows that Mary was
threatened to be left penniless un-
less she married David Forrest, a
peighbor who is a brother-in-law of
{Stevenson. It fa discovered that a
silver rood hanging on the wall of
ontieth's library contains a hid-
;en blade and that it is freshly
ood-stained.
CHAPTER V
What I had heard and seen, al-
ready, made me terribly depressed.
When I got to the library Fox-
jrroft was talking with Sergeant
'Harper. The fingerprint man was
working on the silver rood.
Coroner Evarts and Doctor Sut-
ton were out on the porch talking
softly.
David drove up soon after tins.
Ho called me aside and asked about
Mary.
“She's greatly upset, naturally,
Dave."
“What does she say—what does
•he think? I mean, has she any
ideas about it?”
“How could she?" 1 asked, eva-
sively.
' "That's right, of course.”
Dave’s rather grim and worried
expression left him. He seemed to
J>e greatly relieved. He asked about
the details. I toid him everything
except about the silver rood. I for-
got that his father might tell him
about that. I evaded that by say-
ing, “There was no weapon on the
library porch.”
“It is safer to take a knife away
And wash it, than to leave it for
Identification—I read that in one of
your mystery Btorics, Harley."
"Well, it's true enough.”
My father-in-law came out to us
then.
"We will be going back. Nothing
1 can do. The women will be
anxious," he said. Dave turned to-
ward the car.
“Not a word about the silver rood
to b soul," I whispered.
My father-in-law nodded. He was,
J knew, a man of his word.
“Tell Sally that I don’t know
|when I will be back, they have asked
^nc to work on this case,”,] said.
“Even if you got the makings of
one of your crime mysteries out of
{this, you couldn’t use it.” Dave de-
clared.
I didn't commit myself. They
drove down the '/hiding driveway
land I went back to the library.
“How about fingerprints?" I
asked Foxcroft.
"Not a sign," thc man said, gath-
ering up his dusting powder, micro-
scope and what-not.
I got Foxcroft and Sergeant
(Harper together, Foxcroft had told
Harper that I was working on the

mystery stories. He suspected it

(detective agency and that I had long
been friendiy with Gerard Montieth.
jHarper knew me, of course, but
since my pen name was “H. H.
JHarlson’’ he did not connect me
(with the author of those alleged
thrillers.

She showed surprise and, 1 be-

that I had been asked to work on the
case.

have to be questioned."
“Are you sure you have told me

Mary choked a little.
"But you are mistaken—”
“Now Mary,” I said. “1 saw you

just coming back when Wallace
Foxcroft brought you a cocktail. I
see that you haven’t changed your

I indicated a place on the cull of

I did go up to ihe house a few min-

Her face was paper-white again.
"That was bad, Mary,” 1 sa.d,
“going up to the house at about the
time your uncle was killed."
She stared at me, two ting hrr
fingers, and saying nothing.
“Of course 1 don't believe you
