WJliam H. Taft, 27th President of the United States (1857); and Sept. 28—Frances E. Willard, Prohibi- , tionist (1839). ■ Events and Dates for September 1 are Labor Day (First Monday in 'September); Sept. sth First Continental Congress (1774); Sept. 17 ' Citizenship Day and Sept. 25th ) Bill of Rights ( 1791). The Treaty with England ending . the Revolutionary War was signed > on Sept. 3, 1783 declaring the 13 original states to be free, sovereign • and independent states. Th Constitution of the Unite ! 1 States, universally regarded as the 1 finest expression ever made of the determination of a free people to govern themselves and to prote t their liberty, was signed on September 17, 1787, by the delegates to the convention called to draft it. The United States Constitution is ' the supreme law of the land. Tue Constitution had been declared by , many noted authorities to be th" ■ woik. of the greatest minds of all times. James Madison, a Virginian i and later President of the United States, is often called the “Father of the Constitution” because he wrote the plan which, with some changes, became the basis of the . Constitution. There are 39 signatures on the Constitution with the government ; going into effect April 30, 1789. • George Washington took his oath of office on this date also. In the ■ adopted Constitution, there were seven articles with twenty-two amendments being added through

the years. i The name applied to the ten amendments was “The Bill of Rights". There was considerable ; criticism of the Constitution as < drafted by the Convention of 1787 i because it did not afford sufficient ( protection to the rights of indivi- । duals and the states. In order to meet this objection it was agreed that amendments to it would be submitted for ratification after the original draft had been approved. Accordingly, at the first session of the First Congress al New York on September 25, 1789, twelve amendments were voted and they were submitted to the States. Two of them, relating to apportinonment of Representatives and to the pay of Congressmen, were rejected. The other ten were duly ratified and are; now popularly known as the Bill o~ Rights. They guarantee, among other things, freedom of religion and speech, the right of the people to assemble peaceably, the right of private property, and the right ot trial by jury. They forbid cruel and unusual punishment and the exaction of excessive bail and *hey provide that the powers not delegated to the United States nor prohibited by it to the States "aie reserved to the States respectively or to the people.” Thus it was established that the United States was a confederation of independent sovereignties whi-h had iorme .l a central government with defined and limited powers. When Philadelphia, became the capital, the Constitution was taken to that city and after Congress had fixed upon Washington as the permanent capital, it was removed to that city. It has always been at the seat of government save for a short time -after the British captured Washington during the War of 1812. It was then removed to Virginia, far enough from Washington to be safe. President Har ing, in 1921. ordered that it be taken from the State Department, where it had been kept in a safe, and deposited in the Congressional Library, where it remains as of today. 1 It is true that all the world’s a stage, and most people want to occupy the critic’s seat i

The little boy wanted SIOO so badly he decided to pray for it. He prayed several weeks with no results. So he wrote God. The post office finally forwarded the letter to the White House. The President chuckled and ordered $5 sent to the boy. The lad, delighted that, his prayers had been answered in part*
