WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 26. 1925 SEPTEMBER 17 IS CONSTITUTION DAY IN GEORGIA Governor Walker Reviews His tory c f U. S. “Magna Charta” In Proclamation ATLANTA, August 25 —D<> you know what date the constitution of the United States was signed? Also, do you know the names of the men representing the baby col ony, of the “Original Thirteen’’ v.hu signed it? Bet you don't. However, if you will read on, considerable enlightment will be thrown on this subject. Governoi Walker has issued a proclamation on the subject, and Hi Excellency became somewhat poetic in hi ref erences to “Magna Charta” of America, in setting aside Septem ber 17 as Constitution Day in the State of Georgia in eneoura the commemoration of the anni versary. Ihe proclamation follow ; "One hundred and tni> ;y-. light years ago our forefathers were at taching their rignatun to the greatest politic al docu'i <nt in a 1 the annals of history. Along with the great leaders from < th -r on the signatory roll of honor ap pear the illustrious names of Wal ton, Hall and Gwinnett, represen tatives of the youngest colony, now the empire state of the South . In the march of the em-uing decades aero the ... history, it has become mon- and more evident to the thinkin; pe pie of all nations, how well the-e makeiF of the constitution p!a. n, d. A prescient knowled e almost be yond the ken of ordinary men seem ed to inspirt them and with r markal.de precision and D- -. adit they builded a system of gov-ce ment tJiat balanced ju div powei between the proud colony of Vir. ginia and the tiny domaii of R! ode Island, that provided for a . 1 -m of jurisprudence c piab! . ; .-R. : > : . the executive, legislate.- and ju dicial branch - in a n an:..-. nev< i known to the world I efore, th I heard the voice of th migl . vet gave just as attentive an ear t > the whisper of the w< ak. “Upon this magnificent loti la tion, the ;mp r.-tructure of the American government has b■ u i built,, and although the political winds and rains of internal strife, and the storms of < xternal opposi tion have beatn upon it. y t i,t fell not because it was builded upon the rock—the bed-rock of Argio- Saxoir principles of individual free dom sanely direct l .1 but not un wisely restricted by a central gov ernmental machine. “It i. well that we should pause for a while in the midst of the hur rying- events that crowd the mighty here and now, and hat k back to t he constitution, our national touch stone, our tuning fork if yo please, and test out. some of our pre.ent day tendencies. Perhaps when we do so, many of the discordant ele ments of our national life will be eliminated; the political, moral and educational atmosphere cleared of static; and with hearts and minds attuned to the eternal varieties ami fundamental precepts of this, our American Mag tia Charta, we I march on with faces lifted to the starlight to fulfill our destiny a: the greati- t nation, God willin;.;, that ever lived in all ihe tid • : of time. “Therefore I, Clifford Walk, r, governor cf the Stale of Georgia, do hereby proclaim b ■: lumber 17, 1925, the one hundred and thirty eighth anniversary of the signing of the constitution of th.* United States, to be Constitution Day ,m --ing our people . throughout the commonwealth to commemorate it in a fashion fitting its importance and stress the necessity of iro out the wrinkled brows of doubt and pessimism and with faces and hearts lighted with faith in our country ,ourselves and our God, hereby resolve to be true to the heritage which is ours under the constitution.” London has a street made of rubber. No doubt the younger children there are bouncing baby boys and girls. One might say the Moscow stock ing shortage is caused by our see ing just about all of the stocking, here. And what makes the sea salty is fish crying because tly-y can’t get out on the beach where the swim mers are. A furniture dealer tells us his porch swings are guaranteed to run for three proposals. Rubber prices are still up. They are stretched. But. son e day em end is going to get 100- . One might say tin- St. Louis tailor’s wife seeking divoice ha- a tailor made divorce suit. Indian Rajah is in London. Ha., three wives with him. Imagine hav ing to lie to that many wives. , Germans say American tourists don’t drink much. It all d<-pends on how much is much. , What the farmers need is a war to corn borer and boll weevils. 800 I b AimJ HER BODDIES Now 1 hat’s Settled .
