9 THE SALE MITE CURRENT HISTORY Though a strict and effective censorsliip of news from war-torn Mexico prevents authentic informa- t on fjom: coming tlirougli, a: few ■ ^raps of news have maSe their way to this side. Each new report con flicts with some other, and it is hard to estimate correctly the exact position of both parties. It is known for certain that Adolfo de la Huerta, ])residential candidate, has risen up against President Obregon, and has in.stituted like rebellions in various garrisons. General Eugenie Martinez has taken up a stand at Juarez, and while he left recently to take com mand of a portion of tlie arihy at I'orrean, he immediately returned. General Escabar also has just left forreon with two thousand troops to fight the rebels. At Tepic, two hundred soldiers of the garrison joined Huerta, and General Ortega, commander of the garrison was severely 'wounded, ibis revolt was led by one of the former followers of Carranza, Manuel Diquez. Popular favor Seems to lean toward Huerta, and tile troops, according to the rebels who are dissatisfied because of non payment of their wages, and are ■■eady to desert Abergon at any time. Three different armies of rebels are marching on Mexico City, among them is the twenty-fourth J'egiment, one of the best in the late •■egular army. Tliese forces are said to be moving swiftly, and to be capturing all towns and cities on tile line of march. The advance guard has already reached Limon Plaza. According to President Obregon and his friends, however, the revolu tion is being kept well in liand. General Terrera is in charge of the President’s forces. Obregon has been given complete authority to **ubdue the revolutionists, and they are “being effectively and ener getically handled,” Consul General Enrique Rinz was advised. Officers from all parts of the country are '''iring their support and approval ®f liis methods to the President, l.arge military preparations are be- **ig made by the loyal forces and all offers of the rebels ’ have been re jected by the army commanders. Many Alexicans are leaving the •lorthern and interior portions of tile country to go to and across the tiorder, while those who have pre- '’lously^ in former trouble, found safety in America are again seek- refuge. HENRY DWIRE LEC TURES ON CONSTITUTION AT HISTORY CLUB {Continued from paye one) central government. Thus it is j^Ualistic. In the second place, its 'as a three-fold diviision of depart- ’nents—the legislative, the execu- and the judicial. Twenty-five hundred amendments lave been proposed and out of this *iumber only nineteen adopted. The ^rst ten were added immediately ^fter the ratification by the states, and comprise the Bill of Rights of *■^'6 American Constitution, pro- ''iding, as they do, for freedom of '''orship, of speech, and of the press; speedy trial by jury; free- from excessive bond; and other Such rights that concern individual iberty. Three of the Amendments delate to issues concerning slavery, ^*-bers to suffrage, income tax, elec- |ion of United States Senators, pro- '^bition, etc. Several additional ones ^''e been proposed recently and pending adoption. There is a prevalent idea that the “lakers of the constitution dis covered new principles of govern ment. On the contrary, tliese same principles had been founded many years before, with the Magna Carta in 1216, and had been en larged upon from time to time. Much of the American Constitution v^as influenced directly by British ideas. It differed only in the new and vital interpretation . given at a time when practically all of Europe was in the throes of autocracy. A group of men in a new country, widely separated from all * otliers, had the sheer nerve and courage to break away from the traditions of kings and monarchies, and establish for all time the principles of inde pendence and personal liberty. Again, tlie Constitution is gener ally taken as a matter of course, and the majority of persons seems to tliink that the change came easily and without a struggle. Such was not the case. There was a con siderable amount of opposition and the Constitution itself was a wrangling, discordant body. Ten members refused to attend, sixteen witlidrew during the session, and members went to all lengths in in tense discussion of the instrument. Clinton opposed it and Martin went so far as to call it a calamity—this document that has since been recog nized by Bryce and other author ities as the foremost among its kind. Tlie presented attitude towards the Constitution is represented by three different • groups—those who do not believe in constitutional government at all, those who believe tliat the Constitution is perfect enough in itself to save the country from all dangers whatsoever, and those who, in their zeal for reform, actually violate the document. The proper attitude for a true American is a feeling of pride in its ideals and purpose, a constant study and ap plication of the principles expressed INTERESTING ADDRESS AT Y. W. C. A.

Today in America there are 30,000 men and women who owe their early training and education to Dr. Barnardo’s Homes, but nevertheless this is the first appeal that has ever been made in this country. Does not a world-wide work merit a world-wide appeal ? The hour taken up by Mr. Stephen in telling of this remark able work scarcely seenied fifteen minutes. Never has the Young Women’s Christian Association been privileged to listen to a more earnest or interesting speaker. He has left this thought with the college girls, “How might we too help in the carrying on of this work?” Prayer is one way—is there not another? After a closing hymn, the meeting was dismissed bv the repetition of the Y. W. C. A.’motto.
