To the west lay the

valley from which he had come, with the walls of Jagged rock rising mightily into the sky on each side, and the jade green lake in the bottom. And turning, to the east, Rollo beheld exactly the same thing—beautiful Gunsight Lake. Sick with beauty, Rollo rushed town the other

BY WILLIS THORNTON NEA Service Staff Correspondent

(CONSTITUTION DAY, , today, marks not only the one hundred forty-ninth year of the basic law of the land, but the year 1936 marks exactly 100 years from the death of James Madison, “The Father of

the Constitution.” Madison was 85 years old when he died on his estate at Montpelier, Va, in 1836, almost the last of the Founding Fathers. His widow, Delly Madison, survived until 1849, her quaint Colonial dress and her candle-lit Washington salon a ghostly link between the days when the Constitution was made and the days when its first crucial test in the Dred Scott case was drawing near. Madison was small of stature’ (they called him “the great little Madison”), slender, handsome, and scholarly. He was born of a Virginia planter’s family at Port Conway, Va., in 1751, first of 12 chil~ dren.. Trained for the law at Princeton, he gravitated. to politics as naturally as did so many able Virginians of the day. Before the constitutional convention of 1787 was called, the youthful Madison had already a long record of public service, ‘in framing Virginia's constitution and serving’ in her Legislature. With Jefferson he won: equal freedom’ for all religions in Virginia. Like Jefferson, he had no stomach or talents for war, and did not give military service to the Revolution, though his tongue and pen served well in the 8ontinental Congress.

= ” »

HEN the first American government under the Confederation bogged down for lack of central powers and energetic leadership, Madison was among the leaders demanding a convention to frame a new government. When delegates from all the states assembled in Philadelphia in the early summer of 1787, young Madison, then 36, was not only one of the most active delegates, but his plan for a Constitution, introduced in modified form as the Virginia Plan, was the basis for final agreement. Lodged at the Indian Queen with Hamilton, Mason, Pinckney, and a half dozen other delegates, Madison was tireless throughout the long four-month debate on a Constitution. He addressed the convention 50 times, with such preparation and knowledge that he was heard with respect. Always present, always busy, Madison was to be seen in a front-row seat at every session, scribbling furiously. The sessions were secret, with every delegate pledged to reveal none of the debate. The pledge was scrupulously kept.

Colonial Statesman Drew Basic Draft,

Bvt Madison was keeping careful notes of all that went on, a brief summary of the views and arguments of every speaker. At night, debate over, he would go to his room and transcribe those notes in a small neat hand, and then show them to the speakers, asking them to verify what he had written. Seven years after his death, in 1843, those careful notes were published, and they remain the chief source of information as to how the Constitution was built. . Maj. William Pierce of Georgia: thus described the Madison of the convention: “Mr. Madison is a character who has long been in public life; and what is very remarkable, every person seems ‘to acknowledge his greatness. He blends together the profound politician, with the scholar. In the management of every great question he eventually took the lead in the convention, and ‘tho’ he can not be called an orator, he is a most agreeably eloquent and convincing speaker. . . . He always comes forward ‘the best informed man of any point in debate. The affairs of the United States he, perhaps, has the most correct knowledge of, of any man in the Union. ..." ; Madison, like mest of the mem-

Can Scientists Further Assist Troubled World? Writers Ask

BY SCIENCE SERVICE CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Sept. ¥17.— Newspaper reporters, who have been taking a post-graduate course in science under the tutelage of some 70 of the world's most eminent intellectual leaders during Harvard's Tercentenary Celebration, are asking for more. : Writing and reporting their own story, they have raised the question of whether further assays of civilization’s progress should be made. As this feast of intellect drew to a close, the science editors and reporters formulated the queries that they believed might be important to a troubled world so dependent upon understanding science and its implications. 2.» 2

HIS great celebration arranged

Supreme Court of Learning? Could other conferences like it be arranged for future years? « Think of it, a Supreme Court of Learning for the whole world! Would it influence world affairs? Might the opinions of such a group of the best minds gain sufficient prestige so that states as well as individuals and economic systems would listen to them? So the scientific deputies of the public, these members of the National Association of Science Writers, presented their ideas to Harvard officials and some of the visiting scientists. : Dr. John Dewey, Columbia's famous professor emeritus of philosophy, disclaiming that he is a “practical man,” suggested that the first step toward a scientific organization of intelligence is that the scientific man should re-educate himself. Scientists should realize their responsibility toward the wider range of human affairs with a view to the application of the scientific method to them.

” # o a

HEN it comes to the impor- .¥ tant fields of human interests outside their own special subject, scientists are not accustomed to apply the scientific method, Dr. Dewey charged. They are quite likely to retain and return fo ideas and beliefs that they had absorbed when they were young and impressionable. Dr. Dewey is sure that the time is ripe to agitate for a “Constitutional Assembly of Intellectuals,” but it may not be ripe as yet to form it. Grave doubts about the advisability of a new world organization of intellectuals were expressed by Dr. Hu Shih, professor of Chinese philosophy at the National University, of Peiping. Dr. Shih is recognized as one of the foremost of living philosophers in a land that for centuries has been famous for its sages.

He called attention to the fact tha

an organization somewhat similar to the one proposed, the Committee on Intellectual Co-operation. Nonmembers of the league, including the United States, have been actively represented on this committee, Dr. Shih pointed out, and he added: : “I do not see the possibility of any organization which could function more effectively.than the Geneva Committee. It is my feeling that it is better to strengthen and stimulate this already existing committee than attempt something new which would fare no better. EJ 2 " ' “YT might be helpful towards the promotion of world intellectual collaboration if the Geneva Committee held its meetings away from Geneva, from time to time.” A noted. Polish anthropologist who does his work at the University of London, Prof. Bronislaw Malinowski, stated as his opinion that such a Supreme Court of organized knowledge is “not only possible, not merely necessary, but in many ways I regard it as the only hope for the salvation of our commonwealth.”, One great difficulty seen by Prof. Malinowski jis the matter of transmitting the great potential power that would exist in such a hody, and ‘making it effectively felt, because the results of these scientific deliberations would not in themselves attract widespread attention or arouse people to action. Here, the London scientist feels, would be an opportunity for the press.

Or, maybe’ it was the site now occupied by the Vonnegut Hardware Co. as some old-timers contend. : The old-timers are forever picking quarrels like that, and I, for one, don't propose to be taken in by them. What interests me is not so much the exact location of Miss Abbott's investment as the fact - that the most famous American prima donna, who was then at the head of her own opera com- | pany and making oodles of money, - should have thought enough of Indianapolis to pick it as a place to park her profits. » To be sure, Indianapolis always treated Emma Abbott right. Maybe that had something to do with her thinking so well of us. a In 1882, for instance, Indianapolis went crazy when she appeared in Gilbert and. Sullivan's “Patience.” Curiously enough, the date of her appearance here was just a month before Oscar Wilde was billed for his lecture, and it was probably more than a coincidence that Miss Abbott picked the opera with the character of “Reginald Bunthorne,” which evegRybody knew was a take-off on Oscar. / Anyway, it was a very happy thought on the part of Miss Abbott and showed up well in the box office,

Constitution. ” » ” GAINST the bitter opposition of his old political idol, Patrick Henry, Madison’s sheer brilliance won Virginia's adherence to

the new Constitution. - He was co-author with Alexander Hamilton of the Federalist, a series of newspaper articles on the new Constitution, aimed at persuading New York to adopt it. Madison wrote at least 14 of the Federalist papers, collaborated on others. They remain to this day the foremost exposition of the Constitution, an all-time high of the appeal to reason and sense in politics instead of emotion and selfishness. Madison's plea in the Federalist for the rights of minorities and for the Federal government as a balance wheel among contending factions is a political classic. The Constitution adopted, Madison went about energetically redeeming his pledge for the addition of a: Bill of Rights, without which promise the Constitution might not have been adopted at all. He helped draw up and push through the first 10 amendments, which many people today regard

Roosevelt Re-election Drive Starts. in Earnest on Sept. 29, Clapper Says

BY RAYMOND CLAPPER

EW YORK, Sept. 17.—Beginning Sept. 29, President Roosevelt will start moving so fast it will make your head swim. That's when his non-political campaign will end, when he will go off the official government travel expense account, and when he will become Candidate Roosevelt. From the day he addresses the Democratic state convention at Syracuse, Sept. 29, he will be on the road, pausing at Hyde Park scarcely long enough to have his laundry done. Despite White House .vagueness, the West Coast trip is on. The

President also will go into two in-.

viting battlegrounds, Pennsylvania and Michigan. A number of dates are being worked out now to keep him riding trains until election day, spreading charm up and down the land. » ” ” EPUBLICAN hopes of carrying Newe York State are based largely on expectations that Tammany, or rather New York City, will lie down on Roosevelt. Hoover carried upstate New York in 1932 by 274,000. John Hamilton says Landon will come down to the Bronx with 750.000. Democrats say let Hamilton, for sake of argument, have his 750,000 upstate. They count on upwards of 800,000 from New York City, which, if all votes now being counted actually hatch, would leave Roosevelt hanging onto this state’s 47 votes dy his eyelashes. : Tammany won't run out, they say.

Next to his crack about saving bank deposits and insurance policies, Democrats like most his recent statement at Lewiston, Me., that “if we had closed up the Federal government entirely in March, 1933, we should now be over the depression.” Democratic headquarters likes for the Colonel to be frank that way, with a small and a capital F. Some Republican leaders wish Mrs. Landon would accompany her husband on the remainder of his campaigning. ‘They remember what Mrs. Coolidge did for Calvin. They think it would be helpful if audiences while listening to Gov: Landon could look at Mrs. Landon.

$a of the most significant developments in mode ern medical advertising is the widespread proe motion and use of antiseptics in personal hygiene. There are many antiseptics now available for use on the skin, and in the mouth, nose, eyes and the various cavities of the body; also antiseptics for use in first aid and for overcoming local.infections. The most widely known antiseptics for use on the skin are tincture of iodine and two per cent mercurochrome soiution. = The Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry of the American Medical Association recognizes the impor tance of antiseptics for first aid to the public. Tince ture of iodine and mercurochrome are included in the preparations that may be so advertised. This council, which includes some 17 authorities in various departments of medicine, has not approved such widely advertised antiseptics as are commonly recommended for throat infections and for prevention of various types of infectious disease, including colds. There is no scientific evidence that any of the preparations which may be used in gargles or sprays, or in any other similar manner, will pfevent the . onset .of the common cold. Ee 2 Neither is there any evidence that any of thess + antiseptic solutiéns is of real value when used as a gargle to destroy germs in mouth and throat.

Not only was this a major theme in his Portland speech, in which he challenged the President to say whether he proposes to revive NRA or anything like it, but it was a theme running through his rearend train speeches across the country in which he taunted the President for “trying to hidé behind a non-political campaign,” as the Governor put it to. a crowd at Nashua, N. H. .

At this stage of the campaign, Gov. Landon is in about the same position as the stripling David, advancing with his slingshot on the mighty Goliath. Noboby knows how he is going to come out, but the young man, undaunted, has begun to whiz a few stones across ihe giant's prow just to get the range. Undoubtedly this—~js rather 'a strain on the nerves./ Becauge at first glance the young David stems no match for his giant opponent, armed with patronage, huge sums of relief money, charm and a magnificent radio voice,- an opponent who hardly deigns admit there is a campaign on, who certainly does not admit that there is any real fight, and who is basking before multitudes as he engages in the most enchanting non-political exercises. ‘
