Many Happy Returns of the Day
One hundred and fifty years ago today the Constitution of the United States was adopted. During all that time its fundamental principles have stood unchanged, a monument to flexibility and adaptability in governmental plans.
That fact is probably one of its greatest attributes, for words are diversified tools which can be manipulated for ill as well as good. Democracy was not set down in so many sentences in the Constitution, but by judicious application and correct interpretation of its wordage a democracy was made possible.
The framers of that document were superior men, but they were no different from statesmen of our own time. We have reason to believe that they were very skilled politicians, despite the fact that they are sometimes pictured with a halo. Yet they were able to see, even in a crisis, beyond their own times, beyond their own interests. If they at times yielded to the furtherance of their own class, their shortcomings were far outweighed by their wide appreciation of "We, the people."
But those men were not perfect. The wonderfully efficient instrument which they created is, after all, a machine of government. Machine parts often wear out and must be replaced. Sometimes the whole machine wears out. They realized this fact, and provided therefore.
In this case the machine has not worn out. At times it needs oil, and parts do have to be replaced. It is up to us not to deify and sanctify the Constitution to the point of making it a national god, but to use it as the well constructed organ it is, and, if necessary, have it occasionally overhauled.
"Lock the Stable After the Horses Return"
"CSEP jobs have been cut fifty percent. Tuition has been boosted sky high. Registration will be a thousand below last year." . . Thus croaked the campus corner commentaries before registration started.
But registration figures now stand within a few of last year's high and a scattering of lates remain to be added. Herein lie a few encouraging truths. The first of these, or the most encouraging, is the fact that young people want an education badly enough to overcome a few obstacles to get it. They want it badly enough to get on their own, to work outside, or to assume the obligation of a debt, with the faith that the education will be worth the investment and will enable them much easier to repay the debt.
The second encouraging truth is the apparent fact that more parents are able to send their sons and daughters to the University without outside aid.
The third encouraging note is the fact that out of state students (none of which were supposed to return this fall in the opinion of the die-easy's) have returned in about the same proportion. This indicates that those who were here last year like the University well enough to pay twice what they did last year. It also indicates that the reputation of the University outside the state is such that it still attracts many students from other states.
Intoxication, Incident, Invalid
"It isn't the woman, it isn't the song,
its the drink that made Johnny go wrong!"
Religious workers, temperance unions, and safety organizations have lined our highways and bulletin boards with such verse, but when liquor manufacturers write in the same vein, that's news.
Headed. "We who make whiskey say driving and drinking do not mix. Think before you drink; before you drive, don't drink." an advertisement for a liquor concern joins the crusade against intoxicated drivers. Such an admonition is decidedly non-commercial and incongruous to the usual sales efforts of liquor companies. But as an indication of good faith and a desire to help in the drive against intoxicated murder, the liquor manufacturers are to be commended.
Lewis Steps Out
—Without Roosevelt?
Labor Day saw the open break between Lewis and Roosevelt that had been smouldering for weeks. A.F of L.'s William Green lost little time in backing the president by terming the Lewis speech an "autocratic and dictatorial denunciation of the greatest friend of labor who ever sat in the White House."
If in the next elections Lewis can actually swing the 3,000,000 votes over which he claims control, he may be forced to organize a third party. From reports on the Farmer-Labor alliance in Minnesota, his chances for a successful welding of these two factions seem low.
The old discords between the farmers and laborers still refuse to ring close harmony. But at any rate Lewis intends to protect his power politically, and his "open adversaries must feel the thrust of labor's power" in whatever manner he thinks best.
Roosevelt's big advantage in the break is a chance to drop a liability. Regardless of issues or justice on either side, the C.I.O. strike activities were a political nuisance, and the shadow of John L. Lewis has cast itself inconveniently over much New Deal legislation.
The results of the break may embody the embryo of the next Roosevelt defeat unless some settlement was reached in the recent White House conferences with Lewis.
And International Complications Ensued
Not to be outdone by the leading world powers in stirring up something over nothing. Nicaragua and Honduras are engaging in a diplomatic war over the picture on a postage stamp.
Considering all the old family albums and stamp collections in Europe, it's a wonder some one hasn't thought of a "stamp incident" before.
Charlie Chaplin will no longer portray Charlie Chaplin . . . and millions of us will no longer have the opportunity to see how we think we look on a thousand awkward occasions.
Well laid plans of men and mice . . A New York man had his social security number tattooed on his shoulder and the government promptly changed his number. . .

Don Dieter is always making a find and it just so happens that his latest even puts Don in the shade. This discovery hails from Waltham, Mass., and maneuvers under the unfortunate name of Martin Nugent. His profession is that of a professional tricklejerk—card sharp—thimble magician—and now and then he inadges in cleverness to get into practice and practice with a steek company have lent a finesse to his art, and that, combined with his Boston drawl, is bound to make him a favorite with Hill idlers.
