SECTION TWO ( <dS)( The Roundup 'W* By WILBORNE HARRELL “ • HARRELL STORM Fierce swords of fire now slash the darkened sky, The voice of heaven speaks with violent throe; The transient winds make giant i branches wry, While turbid, sultry tears turn i , earth to slough. Rage on, angered storm, ease your mounting pain, Your power is mighty and trans-| cending. * Flash your swords, blow your| winds, cry your massive rain— But man knows that you are not unending. —Shirley Twiddy As I write this-the hammers of “Helene” have beat their way up the coast of North Carolina, and the hurricane is only a frightening memory. A hurricane, I or even the threat of a hurricane, 1 only emphasizes the insignificance! CONSTITUTION WEEK V- I Editor’s Note: Following is an ad dress delivered over radio station HX’DJ in connection with the observance of Constitution Week. The address was made by Marvin Wilson and is one of several to be published in The Her ald by request. It is impossible to get a good 1 understanding of the Constitution of the U. S. without knowing j something of its historical back- < ground and of the things that i played a part in its development, i Mr. Gladstone, the renowned English statesman, said that the Constitution of the U. S. was the greatest instrument of govern- 1 ment “struck off at a given time i by the brain and puprose of man.” It isn’t believed by authorities that Gladstone meant that his an swer was just “thought up” by its makers and had no connection with its historical background.

Hazel, thenj j Helene. The name Helene isj • quite appropriate—just pronounce tounding miracle created out of 1 nothing by means of divine gen-' ius and inspiration. A study of this instrument of government and the mechanics of how it was written certainly con tradicts this ideal of genius and inspiration and shows us that the Constitution as written and adopt-1 ed grew or evolved out of many | contributing factors, among which were the people of the new na tion, the various colonial govern-1 ments, and the history of the var ious forms of “Old World” gov- 1 ernments. People came to this new world i for many and varied reason*. There were religious fanatics and people who had been perse cuted because of their religion. Some came for purely commer cial reasons such as those who settled in N. Y. and Va. Some the first syllable and you have what a hurricane can mean. THIS WEEK’S OBSERVATION — [ I have recently seen the movie, i 1 “Andy Hardy Comes Home,” an j : attempt to recapture the popular i J appeal of the Andy Hardy series | j that entertained movie goers not-j I so many years ago. In my opin- j | ion this present offering fell far j j short of its goal. Something was j I lacking. In short, the one thing ) j “Andy Hardy Comes Home” lack-1 ; ed was the superb acting and irn-1 pressive dignity of Louis Stone,! who played Andy Hardy’s father in the original pictures. Without ! that, the attempted comeback of “Andy Hardy” was a flop. Not j even the clever mugging and act-j ing of Mickey Rooney could over-1 come that handicap.

All grew out of the concept that the new world was' the property of the king and as | such completely subject to his dis- j position. Royal grants were made to commercial companies, to pri-' | vate proprietors, and to self-or-1 , ganized groups of settlers. From I these, by slow stages, the Colonial ! system of government emerged. 1 The commercial companies were! '■ corporations with most of the! I stockholders remaining in. Eng land and with the important phas es of the Corporation business carried on there. However, the ! great distance involved and the I lack of means of communication i made it necessary to delegate a great deal of power and authority to the agents. It became neces-' sary to have some form of local) government and out of this grew legislative assemblies, courts and i executive officers. The divi.-yin | of power as between the non-res-! ident owners and the settlers wasj never very clear and often times I the subject of trouble. J The Lords Proprietors were I given charters similar to those! given to Commercial Companies [ and Government in the colonies 1 of these Lords Proprietors devel oped in a similar manner. Bick erings and disorder arising out of) • the powers of the Lords 'Proprie-1 tors as opposed to those of the { settlers led in most cases to the revocation of the charters of these • j aristocratic owners. Time and again settlers pushed ; j out into the wilderness into areas | ; i which had not been granted to’ | anyone by the king. At first such j settlements were left alone to | ) govern themselves as they wish-! ’ ed. _ Later, however, most were! I incorporated with one of the royal j i colonies but two, Conn, and R. I.

The charter colonies were largely self-governing. They elected their l own legislative bodies and gov j ernors. Their courts were under J | the control of their legislatures. There was considerably less ! freedom in the other colonies. In j leach there was a governor ap : pointed either by the English | King or the proprietor. He ruled ! j much in the same manner as the: I King ruled with power of ap | pointment as to the judges of the] j courts, county and city officers j and the clergy. i At this time the colonies were I pretty well organized into geo-; graphical divisions.
