JI- ■ ■ THIS WEEK-150 YEARS AGO j! y£LL The Story of fke Scnhrtel kcaturcf BY RAYMOND PITCAIRN

THE AMERICAN SPIRIT 3 Just 150 years ago this week—on - June 25, 1787 —was spoken what ’ modern historians recognize as one of the earliest and clearest statements ever made on "the Spirit of Americanism.” It came from Charles Pinckney, youthful delegate from South Carolina in the course of an eloquent appeal to the Federal Convention, meeting that summer in historic Independence Hall, Philadelphia, to write our Constitution. Pinckney spoke before a formal session of the Convent on while it had under consideration various proposals for a National Legislature —a topic on which tile large states and the small were in frequent disagreement. In the course of debate, the distinctive systems of governments in both the ancient and modern world had been cited at length. Finally Pinckney arose. "We must,” ne admonished the delegates, “suit our Government to the people it is to direct." Then contrasting the American nation with established governments abroad, he pointed out that "we have unwisely considered ourselves as the inhabitants of an old, instead of a new. country.” “The people of the United States, said Pinckney in part, “are perhaps . the most singular of any we are acquainted with. Among them there are fewer distinctions of fortune, and less of rank, than among the inhabitants of any other nation. ’ Every freeman has a right to the same protection and security. "Hence, arises a greater equality than is to be found among the people 1 of any othev country; and an equality which is more likely to continue "The whole community will enjoy, in the fullest sense, that kind of political liberty which consists in the ! power ... of arriving at the public j 1 offices, or at least of having votes in | the nomination of those who j them. i i "The. people of this country are | ! not only very different from the j ! ' inhabitants of any state we are | . acquainted with m the modern world. ( ; but I assert that their situation isj I

was evident today. Defense attorneys have already indicated that they would appeal to a higher court in the event a new trial Is denied in September. After Adams county . rand juries had three times renewed indictments against Foreman the case was brought to trial last week. Victory For State It is the general opinion that I today's ruling of the court be conI lidered a victory for the state and I prosecution. Arrested, indicted I three times and convicted, this is I the first time Foreman has been forced to be incarcerated tor any length of time.

Speculation immediately staued regarding whether Beecher would be a candidate for office again in 1938. Previous' • he had posted a sign on his -toor which said: "I will not be a candh' te for any political office in 1938.” Beecher took office Jan. 1, 1935, and it was only a few months until Terre Haute was the scene of a general strike and was placed under martial law by the then 1. governor, Paul V. McNutt. Pow-

distinct from either the people of Greece or Rome, or of any states we are acquainted with among the ancients. "Our true situation appears to me to be this—a new extensive country, containing within itself the materials for forming a government capable of extending to its citizens all the blessings of civil and religious liberty — capable of making them happy at home. I "For a people w thus circum- « 1 stanced are we, then, to form a government; and \ *.■ the question is, what sort of government is ' best suited to fi them? “AH that we have to do is to distribute the powen of government in such a manner, and for such limited periods, as, waile it gives a proper degree of permanency to the magistrate, will reserve to the people the right of election they will not or ought not frequently to part with. Pinckney, however, was not the only delegate to express, that week, a point of view which recognized fundamental characteristics the new Constltutlsn and tne new nation were to assume. On motion of Oliver Ellsworth, of Connecticut, the words "Government of the United States." were substituted for the words “National Gov--rnment," in resolutions before the Convention. This, exn'-med Ells- I worth, would retain for the new nation and its Constitution, "the proper title.” During that week, too, the system of Checks and Balances—now so characteristic a feature of our government—was urged, as a guard against the possibility "that those j I charged with the public happiness might betray their trust." “An obvious precautic' 1 against ■ this danger," insisted James Madison, of Virginia, “would be to divide tj>e i trust between different bodies, of men who might watch and check , each other ” | Next week: “The Critical Moment," .

DAVEY HOLDS (CONTINUED FROM rAOK ONBD list.” Continue Probe Anderson, Ind., June 15 <U.R> - Police Chief Joseph Carney today continued his investigation of Sunday's shooting affray, in which nine men were wounded in a clash of rival automobile workers unions, to determine if he will make any arrests. Police said they still were unable to find the shotgun with which a member of the United Automobile Workers union allegedly leaned out of a third floor window in the union headquarters i mid fired a lilast into a crowd below. Others in addition to the nine men who were questioned Sunday night will be brought in to tell their stories, Carney said, in the attempt to piece together an accurate story of what occurred. Union members claim their headquarters was attacked by members of the company unions at the Delco-Remy and Guide Lamp company plants. Company union members deny this, saying they were fired on as they were standing in the street. All the wounded were company union men. At Indianapolis, Gov. M. Clifford Townsend and Thomas Hutson, state labor commissioner, were pondering the report of Emmett Cox, state labor department investigator, to determine what action, If any. the state should take.

Declaration by Mayor Daniel Shields of Johnstown that 3,000 American Legionnaires would be mustered to maintain order in the area if necessary.

The announcement followed a conference between Charles Kiser, C. I. O. regional director, and Mayor Daniel A. Knaggs, who said he had 1,000 volunteers ready to take up arms against threatened ‘invasion’ by strike forces. At Cleveland, Federal Judge Samuel If.

ren. Meanwhile, tension continued to mount In steel centers of Ohio and Pennsylvania where the back-to-work movement appeared most formidable. At Youngstown, representatives of the movement contended that as high as 70 per cent of the work ers had signed petitions urging reopening of the plants. Similar movements also were started at Canton and Warren. Union leaders contended that many of the mimes on the petitions were false and declared they were "calling out reserves” on the picket lines to enforce their demands for a signed contract. o SEARCH WOODED (CONTfNtTEn FROM PAOE ONH) theory.
